Chapter 521: Chapter 521

“Haoxiang, I’m just curious about what the young lady of the Green Gang gave you. I don’t have any other intentions. Could it be that you’re afraid that the gift you gave Haocheng is inferior to this?” Murong Qi was determined to see Chen Meng’er make a fool of herself today.

How could Chen Meng’er not know of Murong Qi’s little scheme? She looked at Murong Qi with a smile that was not really a smile, “Since she wants to see it, then open it. However, I’ve already given this gift away. You’d better ask the owner of the gift to open it.”

Qu Haocheng saw that Chen Meng’er was generous and did not seem to mind at all, so, only then did he say, “Since Miss Murong wants to know so much, then I’ll satisfy her curiosity.” Qu Haocheng was really annoyed with Murong Qi. Murong Qi usually relied on the Qu family’s name to bully others outside. It was usually fine, but at Qu Haocheng’s birthday party, she had caused such trouble. How could he swallow this down?

Murong Qi only realized something was wrong when she heard Qu Haocheng say “Miss Murong”. What had she done just now? She had been so focused on watching Chen Meng’er make a fool of herself that she had forgotten what kind of occasion this was.

Murong Qi looked at the cold gazes the Qu cousins were looking at her with and could not help but shiver. Speaking of which, she had always known that the Qu cousins did not like her, but she had still tried to get close to them. But now Murong Qi was a little regretful.

Murong Qi’s mouth moved. She wanted to explain to Qu Haocheng. However, Qu Haoxiang’s cold gaze made her swallow the words that she wanted to say.

“Then, should I open it?” Qu Haocheng raised his head and asked Chen Meng’er before he opened the box.

“Yes.” Chen Meng’er smiled and nodded. She was really not afraid of others opening her gift on the spot. The gifts she gave others were all chosen by her. It was a gift from her heart. Gifts had to be sincere. “Please do as you wish. I only hope that you will like the gift I gave you.”

The box that Chen Meng’er gave Qu Haocheng was very exquisite. However, if one looked carefully, this box was not just exquisite. This box was carved from rosewood and was intricately detailed. Just this rosewood box alone would be very expensive. People like Murong Qi who did not have much experience with art would not realize the value of this box.

The commotion that Murong Qi caused made everyone’s eyes to focus on Chen Meng’er and the others. If it wasn’t for Skinny stopping them, Fatty would have rushed over long ago and taught Murong Qi a lesson. This brat actually had no brain and dared to bully their Little Miss.

Madam Qu and Elder Qu had originally quite liked Murong Qi. A portion of their love for the lost child had been transferred to Murong Qi. However, when they saw Murong Qi’s actions just now, coupled with the fact that Murong Qi was targeting Chen Meng’er, the two Elders’ impression of Murong Qi had dropped quite a bit.

Elder Liu, on the other hand, had been smiling very brightly. Those who were familiar with Elder Liu’s personality knew that the more Elder Liu smiled, the more unlucky the person that Elder Liu had targeted would be.

Zhuge Yu could not help but silently wipe away the tears for the Murong family in his heart. Their matter had not been resolved yet, and they had provoked the Little Miss again. The Murong family was about to fall.

The Murong family was not only targeted by Elder Liu, but also by Yuwen Jing. Chen Meng’er was someone whom he loved dearly. Usually, when Chen Meng’er bumped into someone, Yuwen Jing’s heart would ache for quite a while, now that Murong Qi had bullied her in front of him, how could Yuwen Jing let her have it easy?

Under everyone’s expectant gazes, Qu Haocheng slowly opened the rosewood box. Not only was the box beautifully made, but the lock was also exquisitely made. When Qu Haocheng opened the lock, he was greatly surprised. However, he had good mental fortitude and did not show any expression on his face.

Qu Haocheng was a little expectant. He was looking forward to what Chen Meng’er would give him as a gift. If the box was so exquisite, what would the thing inside look like?

Qu Haocheng wasn’t the only one who wanted to see what was inside the box. The guests in the banquet hall were all staring with wide eyes, waiting to see what the young lady of the Green Gang was going to give him.

Qu Haocheng opened the box and when he saw what was inside, he couldn’t help but look up at Chen Meng’er in surprise. “Is this imperial jade?”

“Yes.” Chen Meng’er smiled and nodded. “When I got the invitation, I didn’t think of any other good gifts. I happened to see this piece of imperial jade, so I carved a blessing on it.” Chen Meng’er explained. “I carved it myself. The craftsmanship isn’t very good, so if you don’t like it, I can exchange it for another piece.”

“You carved it yourself?” Qu Haoxiang didn’t wait for Qu Haocheng to say anything. He just stared at Chen Meng’er with his eyes wide open.

“Yes.” Chen Meng’er nodded in confusion.

“Ah, Meng’er, give this to me instead. It’s perfect. My luck hasn’t been very good recently. I’ll just hang on to the blessing to ensure my safety.” As he said that, Qu Haoxiang shamelessly tried to snatch the box from Qu Haocheng’s hands.

“Qu Haoxiang, what are you doing? This is a birthday present that someone gave me. Get lost! ” Qu Haocheng did not expect his cousin to actually come snatch the gift from him. Speaking of which, although his cousin often coveted his things, he had never tried to snatch it from him like today. Also, what did he just hear? Qu Haoxiang just seemed to call the young lady of the Green Gang by her first name?

“Aw man, don’t you hate stuff like this the most? Give it to me.”
