As soon as he finished speaking, Frank stepped forward to show the gift he had prepared earlier: "I heard that you like jade. This is a little token of my great-nephew's kindness. I hope you like it."
That was a string of jade bracelets. Each piece of jade was lustrous and transparent, full of moisture. Under the illumination of the light, it shone brightly and was very beautiful.
It's a fine piece of jade.
Mrs. Andreas smiled and ordered it to be accepted. Compared to John, she had a better impression of frank, after all, Adeline's fiance.
"A young man is so well-mannered, no wonder Adeline is interested in you."
Adeline is a little anxious: "Grandma, I'm with him..."
Wendy rolled her eyes and stopped her at once: "Adeline, the old lady loves you the most. Why haven't you delivered the gift you prepared yet?"
She had already sized her up, and she was holding a small bag in her hand, and probably couldn't come up with anything presentable.
She was waiting to see her make a fool of herself!
Adeline, having see Wendy's bit of mischief, gave a faint smile and pulled out a blooming peony from her bag.
The people around were astonished and spurned, and Wendy looked even more contemptuous: "Adeline, on such an important birthday of the old lady, you... Just send a flower?"
Adeline ignored the ridicule of the people around her, bent down and gently placed the peony on the old lady Felix's hair, took out a small mirror and gave her a gentle smile: "Don't laugh at the white hair flower arrangement, time never fails a beauty, this peony is the king of flowers, perfect for grandma, Adeline wish you eternal youth and beauty."
Looking at herself in the mirror, Mrs. Andreas was overjoyed. These birthday celebrant people would only talk about having many children and grandchildren, and having a sea of good fortune. How could they remember that she was once an extremely beautiful woman, and those gifts, and in her status and position, she had seen nothing good, but none could make her as happy as this flower.
Her smile was so bright that she took away the mirror in her hand a little shyly: "You girl will say nice things to please me. I'm in my seventies and eighties. How could I be a beauty?"
It was a complaint, but the smile in her eyes could not be concealed. No one expected that a flower could make the old lady so happy, and they sighed at Adeline's position in the old lady's heart.
Wendy was so angry that her face turned pale and she was thinking of a way to make amends, but she was summoned by the people below, saying that Mr. Felix had arrived.
Felix, the real head of the House of Andreas, the highly esteemed head of the House of Andreas.
The commotion in the hall immediately died down. Everyone's expression was solemn, and the circle of people automatically split into a path in the middle, slightly bowing to welcome Mr. Felix's arrival.
Felix was dressed in a neat black suit, tall and imposing, with a very handsome face and a faint smile in his eyes, and his gaze quickly turned away when he saw Adeline.
He stopped in front of Mrs. Andreas and said gently, "Grandma, your grandson is late. Happy birthday to you. This is a gift for you."
He waved slightly, and Grant immediately brought the gift box over and opened it, revealing a string of extremely beautiful jade bracelets inside.
Many people took a deep breath and looked at the John family, who had given a gift that was as heavy as Mr. Felix's!
The bracelet, though also made of jade, was far better in color and size than the one Frank had just given, and each piece had a red dot in the center. Such fine jade is a rare gem.
If frank's one is the best, then this one is the best of the best, and it's almost flawless.
Mrs. Andreas immediately put it on with joy, not because of how good it was, but because it was a gift from her own grandson and she was happy about whatever it was.
The troubmaker said, "What a coincidence! Just now, the House of Andreas sent a jade bracelet, and it's the same as you, Mr. Felix!"
When John saw that Felix had also sent a jade bracelet, he lowered his head and tried to reduce his presence, but still couldn't escape, and immediately said in a panic, "What we sent is definitely not as good as yours, Mr. Felix. Please forgive us."
Felix's gaze fell upon him as if he had just seen him at this moment: "You dare to give my grandma something that is not presentable , you are getting more and more successful!"
The slow voice was stabbing him like a knife, John's face was deathly pale, and just as he opened his mouth to explain, Wendy spoke quickly: "Mr. Felix misunderstood. We didn't mean that. Our gift, though not as precious as Mr. Felix, was carefully chosen and respectfully presented to the old lady for her birthday."
Felix frowned at the woman in front of him. It was disgusting that she was in her thirties, sixties, and still dressed like a young girl with her breasts exposed.
"I remember your lady is about the same age as you. Why is this one much younger?"
John is a little embarrassed: "My first wife died five years ago. This is my second wife."
Felix gave a faint "oh" and looked at frank: "So this must be the son left by the old lady?"
Wendy hated that female yasha the most. She couldn't stand it when she heard him name his son under that woman's name. She pulled Frank forward and said, "Mr. Felix misunderstood. This is my son."
"Is that so? A look of sarcasm flashed in Felix's eyes, but he pretended to be puzzled on his face: "It's only been five years since Andreas Liu married you, and you never thought your sons were all this old. How lucky you are!"
At first Wendy didn't understand, and when he praised her for her good fortune, she laughed like a fool. Then she noticed that everyone was looking at her with contempt, and John was pulling her sleeve to tell her to keep a low profile. But when she thought about it in her heart, she understood. Her face was as pale as paper, and she kept her head down and dared not raise it.
Adeline chuckled to herself. Felix is really amazing. He can humiliate people to the extreme without making a fuss. The words just now clearly mean that she was originally a mistress, otherwise how could the child be so big, and it also brought John's face clean.
Old Mrs. Andreas was the most furious because she hated mistresses and unfaithful and heartless people, otherwise her grandson would not have been so lonely when he was young.
She slapped the back of the chair hard: "Andreas Liu, what place do you think House of Andreas is? Even the messy people dare to come to me, don't dirty my eyes!"
The old lady was a legendary heroine, Felix was not yet grown up, and she was the one in charge of the Lu group when the old man died. Though old, she still had the power, and in a fit of rage, many of the Andreas branch bowed their heads respectfully.
John's knees were weak and he almost knelt down: "Old lady, calm down, Jiahe has been dead for many years, I... I can't help feeling lonely too, anyway I'm sorry to her, but this kid Frank is really good, smart and capable, serious in doing things, a seed of our House of Andreas!"
