Gu Jingze looked at Gu Xiande. “Grandfather…”

“That’s enough. I know what to do. Sit down.”

In the end, Gu Jingze turned to look at Mo Huiling. His somber expression made her shiver.

However, he still sat down.

Lin Che said privately to him, “Forget it, Gu Jingze. Today is Grandfather’s birthday.”

Gu Jingze nodded.

“There are still so many people here. Whatever it is, we must show respect for Grandfather’s feelings,” Lin Che said even though she was also unhappy.

Gu Jingze remained silent. He listened to Lin Che’s words and silently nodded.

Mo Huiling was currently the center of attention. She glanced arrogantly at Lin Che who was beside her. Then, she said to Gu Xiande, “Grandfather Gu, I didn’t come to visit you for a long time because my pregnancy made it inconvenient to do so. I heard that today is your birthday, so I specially asked First Aunt to inform you that I would be coming to congratulate you. This is my present for you. I hope that you will like it.”

“Thank you for remembering my birthday. To be honest, my birthday is just like any other day.” Gu Xiande stood up. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he unexpectedly went down personally to greet Mo Huiling.

He looked down at Mo Huiling’s stomach and nodded silently. Then, he said, “Look after your body. That’s more important than anything.”

Mo Huiling felt Grandfather pat her shoulder and was so moved that she was about to cry.

This was especially so when she sensed everyone looking at her with admiration.

Everyone looked at Mo Huiling and their comments lingered in her ears.

“Wow. The child in her stomach is already the best present.”

“Her future will be extraordinary since Old Gu looks upon her so favorably.”

“This Miss Mo really took us by surprise. She really stole the show today.”

“That’s enough. Spare it. Can your present even compare to the present in her womb? No one will be able to steal the show from her today.”

Nearly everyone’s attention shifted to Mo Huiling. But some people still remembered Lin Che, only…

“Where is Lin Che?”

“Will she even dare to show herself? I think Old Gu won’t even be bothered with her today.”

“Weren’t there rumors before this that he quite liked Lin Che? The rumors made it sound so amazing. But it looks like that’s all there is to it.”

“My point exactly. I even heard that he looked upon Lin Che very favorably. Now that I’m here today, I think the rumors really can’t be believed.”

Just then, Mo Huiling said directly to Old Gu, “Grandfather, I specially prepared a present to congratulate you on your birthday.”

“Oh, is that so? What is it?”

Mo Huiling immediately instructed some people to bring the present here.

Everyone watched as two people moved a huge object to the front. They found it a little strange and were also curious about what was inside.

Gu Xiande froze. After some time, he said, “This is…”

Mo Huiling smiled and said, “This is a purple jade screen that I asked someone to get for me. I heard that you like antiques, so I thought that you might like it.”

“Ah, a purple jade screen… it’s a screen from the Mingqing dynasty. I heard that a few years ago, it was auctioned off to a collector and no one heard any news of it thereafter. Many people said that it had been sent overseas.”

“Is it the screen that’s worth tens of millions?”

“It doesn’t matter how much it costs. The point is that no one would sell it. Its value would only increase in the future, so who would sell it? Furthermore, it’s one of a kind and you won’t find the same thing anywhere else. Its value is definitely high.”

Gu Xiande abruptly looked at Mo Huiling before hurriedly walking to her. He looked at the screen and reached out his hand to touch it. He looked very satisfied.

“Yes. I was about to get someone to look for this screen. I didn’t expect you to find it for me first.”
