Chapter 23: The Gift-Giving Segment

Mu Qiannian nodded, but the worry in her eyes did not disappear.

At night, the two of them arrived at the Chen residence according to their schedule.

The horn sounded, but the security guard at the door did not budge.

Pei Mingchen got out of the car with a cold gaze. “Chen Jia told you to do this?”

The security guard was very cold. “Outsiders are not allowed to enter.”

He was indeed an outsider.

Pei Mingchen took out his phone and dialed the number at the top.

“When I reached the door, I was stopped by someone..”

After hanging up the phone, Butler Li of the Chen family walked over quickly. Only then did the door open.

When he arrived at the living room, all the members of the Chen family were there. Pei Mingchen was the only one who called out to Old Master Chen, “Grandfather.”


“Mm.” Old Master Chen’s attitude was indifferent, but at least he responded.

Mu Qiannian also followed Pei Mingchen and called out to him, “Grandfather.” Old Master Chen’s face was stiff and unmoving.

Chen Jia, who was at the side, laughed. His smug gaze swept across the hand that the two of them were holding.

“Weren’t you quite arrogant yesterday? You actually dared to hit me and even made me spend 24 hours in jail. If it was 42 hours, I might still be in jail even now.”

“What? !”

Bai Jin looked at him in surprise and then looked at Mu Qiannian.

If Old Master Chen and Chen Decheng were not around, she would have scolded Mu Qiannian.

“Miss Mu, why did you do this to Chen Jia? It’s fine if you fell in love with someone else, but you actually made him go to jail?”

Mu Qiannian was stunned. She fell in love with someone else?

Chen Jia was the one who cheated on her, right?

Chen Desheng was also unhappy. “Is it something honorable for the Eldest Young Master of the Chen family to go to jail? How dare you say that!”

Although he was angry at Chen Jia, his gaze still swept past Mu Qiannian in the end.

Previously, because of the matter between these two people, the Chen family’s stock price had dropped again and again. He was not satisfied with this adopted daughter of the Mu family.

Pei Mingchen held Mu Qiannian’s hand tightly, reassuring her.

Mu Qiannian was nervous because she cared about Old Master Chen’s opinion. As for the others, she did not care.

“Father! You don’t know that this woman is talking nonsense. She wants me to compensate her for some bullsh*t mental damage. Ten million, a whole ten million!”

As soon as Chen Jia said this, the people in the living room all looked at Mu Qiannian. Even Old Master Chen’s gaze also looked at her.

Mu Qiannian steadied herself and smiled, “You know what you did back then. You know why the Public Security Bureau shut you down instead of me. If you want me to tell you everything in detail, why don’t you start with why you appeared there? How about it?”

The last three words were tactful and gentle. Chen Jia’s expression changed when he heard it.

His eyes were filled with disbelief and hatred!

He did not believe that Mu Qiannian would know, but he had to be more cautious. What if she really knew?

Chen Jia snorted and did not speak again.

Mu Qiannian turned her head in satisfaction. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and turned his head to look at him again.

“Oh right, there’s something I need to correct. It’s one million. If you want to give me ten million, I don’t mind.”

Chen Jia was hesitant and did not say anything else.

Bai Jin watched as her son suffered a loss, and he grew more and more disgusted with Mu Qiannian.

She rolled her eyes, and her gaze fell on the empty hands of the two of them.

“I thought you two kids would bring gifts. I wanted to remind you not to bring anything, but I forgot. As expected of a family, we really have a connection.”

Pei Mingchen remained silent. Mu Qiannian seemed to have been reminded.

“I’m so sorry. I almost forgot to bring it in.”

Mu Qiannian swept her gaze across the hall and said with a smile, “Let me and Mingchen go and get it together.”

She did not dare to order the Chen family around.

Mu Qiannian held five gift boxes in her hands and took out a slender picture box.

Old Master Chen’s interest was piqued, but when he thought about how there was nothing on this child, his thoughts sank again.

“This is a calligraphy painting that I found a friend to find a way to receive this afternoon. It was done by Master Hu.”

When Old Master Chen unfolded half of the painting, he was slightly surprised when he heard the words ‘Master Hu’.

He did not care whether it was true or not. He took two steps forward and stared at the inscription on it.

“It’s real. It’s actually real.”

Mu Qiannian saw that Old Master Chen was interested and gave Pei Mingchen a look. One of them grabbed the painting while the other opened it.

Old Master Chen was overjoyed. He was so careful that he did not even dare to touch it.

“It’s that one. It’s the one that even I could not get. How did you do it?”

Old Master Chen’s words shocked the other three people so much that they stood up and moved closer to him.

Chen Jia took a look and realized that he could not understand it at all. He hesitated but said with certainty, “How is that possible? How can these two poor people possibly buy the authentic masterpiece of a Master?”

Chen Decheng also said from the side, “It’s not that I look down on them, but how is it possible? Since it’s something that even you can’t buy, they…”

There were some words that were meaningless to repeat.

Pei Mingchen looked at Mu Qiannian. The gifts that he had brought to the Chen family were all prepared by Niannian.

This was because she insisted that it was the first time she was visiting as Pei Mingchen’s girlfriend and that she needed to be more formal.

Actually, Pei Mingchen had noticed that there were calligraphy and paintings among them. He had thought that they were just ordinary calligraphy and paintings, but who would have thought that..

When Old Master Chen heard his son and grandson’s words, his face immediately turned stiff.

“I’m not so old that I can’t differentiate between an authentic painting and a fake. You two b*stards, get lost.”

Old Master Chen’s heart was completely focused on the painting. When he finished appreciating the painting, he said with some reluctance.

“Not bad, not bad. I like it very much.”

Then, he turned around and said to Butler Li, who was standing on the right side, “Hang the calligraphy and painting in my office, the most conspicuous place.”

Butler Li said respectfully, “Yes.”

The calligraphy and paintings were carefully taken away, and Mu Qiannian took out a high-end gift box.

“This is a red robe from Wuyi Mountain’s Mother Tree. When I wanted to book it, the wait would take a fewyears, so I asked a friend to get it. This is for Uncle Decheng.”

When Chen Decheng heard the red robe by Wuyi Mountain’s Mother Tree, his expression also changed.

In each year, the production of this red robe by Wuyi Mountain’s Mother Tree was extremely rare.


The buyers were almost all influential people. As long as they had the goods, they would be instantly bought by those with high status and power.

He was overjoyed. He reached out and took the gift box. “You’re so thoughtful. You’re so thoughtful.”

Then, Mu Qiannian gave Bai Jin a set of expensive custom-made skin care gift box.

When it was Chen Jia’s turn, it was a very small, long velvet box, about the length of a pen.

Chen Jia’s eyes flashed with dissatisfaction. “You only gave me such a thing? I don’t want it.”

Mu Qiannian did not show it on her face when he heard that. “Since you really don’t like it, I won’t force you to accept it. I don’t want to offend you.”

After a moment, she said in a regretful tone, “It’s just a pity that this is a special and unique fountain pen from Italy.”

As she said that, she took out the fountain pen and saw that the body of the fountain pen was black and blue. It had lines of pure gold and was smooth and precious.

Chen Jia was stunned at first. Then, he saw Mu Qiannian put the fountain pen back into the box and put it into her bag.

Chen just suddenly felt his heart ache. From the looks of it, it was not cheap.
