Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Luo Family Night Banquet _1

At seven o’clock in the evening, the Luo Family Villa was brilliantly lit.

Vehicles of guests arriving to celebrate Old Lady Luo’s birthday filled both sides of the road.

Mo Han had come on a bike, his daughter Chen Chen standing in front, and his wife Luo Ning sitting at the back.

As they arrived at the gate, a young man dressed in Armani greeted them, "Yo, isn’t this my cousin? You’ve finally arrived!"

"Today is Grandmother’s seventieth birthday, why are you arriving so late?"

Right off the bat, he greeted only Luo Ning, blatantly ignoring Mo Han and Chen Chen standing beside her.

"Hello, cousin," Luo Ning said, clearly displeased, yet still offered a greeting, "We were held up at home, sorry about that."

"Chen Chen, have you said hello to your Uncle Xuan Ran?"

Chen Chen, who was very sensible, said innocently, "Hello, Uncle Xuan Ran!"

"Hmm," Luo Xuanran replied, his attitude very perfunctory. His gaze swept over the three of them before finally settling on Mo Han, his tone somewhat annoyed, "Mo Han, today is Grandmother’s seventieth birthday, and you show up empty-handed, what’s the meaning of this?"

"You eat the Luo Family’s food, live in the Luo Family’s house, benefit from the Luo Family, and you don’t show any gratitude?"

"At the very least, you could have spent a few ten thousand on a bracelet or something..."

Luo Xuanran had always looked down on his cousin’s family, speaking with cold sarcasm and hot ridicule.

Mo Han had promised Luo Ning yesterday that he wouldn’t take offense, so he still replied very evenly, "I have brought a gift."

"Oh?"

Luo Xuanran looked him up and down before finally noticing that Mo Han was holding a paper bag from a two-dollar store.

He burst into laughter on the spot, "For Grandmother’s big birthday, you went to a two-dollar store to buy a gift?"

It’s no wonder he misunderstood; Mo Han didn’t take that exquisite sandalwood box when he received the Cui Ling Jade Hairpin. When he got home, he couldn’t find a suitable box and had to use a paper bag from a two-dollar store to wrap it.

Just as Luo Xuanran was about to continue laughing, an older man bearing some resemblance to Luo Xuanran walked out, "Xuan Ran, what are you doing standing around, the guests have all arrived, hurry in."

"Niece Ning’er? Why are you still outside? Hurry in, Shan Chuan and Mei Feng have been here for a while."

The man speaking was none other than Luo Xuanran’s father and Luo Ning’s elder uncle, Luo Yuantu.

Just like his son, Luo Yuantu also didn’t acknowledge Mo Han and his grandniece, overlooking them entirely.

Lou Ning’s expression turned sour. If her cousin didn’t know any better and was impolite, what about you, someone who should act as an elder?

"Let’s go," Mo Han said impassively, taking his daughter’s hand and stepping over the threshold and into the villa.

In the grand hall, Old Lady Luo, dressed in a bright red birthday robe, sat beaming at the center, joyfully accepting congratulations from guests and family members.

"Grandma, I bought this Hundred-Year Ginseng from Goryeo for six hundred thousand.

"Grandma, I know you love tea, so I specially had someone buy three ounces of mother tree Da Hong Pao from Wuyi Mountain, worth seven hundred thousand."

"Grandma, I didn’t know what else to give, so I bought this Hetian jade bracelet from South Myanmar for nine hundred thousand, wishing you fortune as vast as the East Sea and a life longer than the South Mountain..."

As a crowd of younger relatives knelt down to give their gifts, the atmosphere reached its peak.

Old Lady Luo, on the main seat, saw the table full of gifts and her face burst into smiles.

"Luo Ning, everyone has given their gifts, where is yours?"

At that moment, a jarring voice rang out.

Without looking up, Luo Ning knew it was her cousin sister, Luo Zitong, Luo Xuanran’s younger sister, who was speaking.

Indeed, Luo Zitong, dressed in a luxurious gown, walked out from the crowd with her hands on her hips, contempt in her eyes as she glanced at Luo Ning and her family, and sneered, "You didn’t buy anything, did you?"

"Zi Tong, what are you talking about? Didn’t you see the bag in Mo Han’s hand?"

Luo Xuanran walked out with a grin, pointing to the two-dollar store paper bag in Mo Han’s hand, "There, do you see that? That is their family’s gift to Grandma!"

As his words fell, swift as a shot, everyone’s eyes turned to focus on the bag in Mo Han’s hand.

Huh?

Isn’t that the most ordinary two-dollar store bag you find by the roadside?

Surely, Luo Ning’s family didn’t buy something from a two-dollar store for Old Lady Luo’s birthday, did they?

Already seated, Luo Shanchuan and Yang Meifeng, upon seeing the bag in Mo Han’s hand, wished they could bury themselves underground.

Embarrassing! It was utterly embarrassing...

Hearing Luo Xuanran’s words, Old Lady Luo’s face on the main seat turned white with anger.

"That’s not it..." Luo Ning hurried to explain, "Mo Han didn’t buy it from a two-dollar store, he spent..."

She very much wanted to tell everyone that Mo Han had spent two thousand on a jade hairpin for Grandmother, but seeing everyone else’s gifts worth tens of thousands, she suddenly found herself unable to speak.

"Spent how much? Ten yuan? Or twenty yuan?" Luo Zitong mocked, "Dear cousin, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but you give such a thing for Grandma’s big seventieth birthday?"

"Our family’s Wang Qiang might not have much ability, but at the very least he sent an eighty-thousand yuan South Sea Pearl Necklace."

Wang Qiang, Luo Zitong’s boyfriend, owned a building materials market and had some money.

He had been dating Luo Zi Tong for two years and planned to get married this year. Hence, he spent a significant sum for Old Lady Luo’s birthday, aiming to marry Zi Tong home sooner.

Today was his first time seeing Luo Ning.

Like all the male guests, upon seeing Luo Ning, he was struck by her beauty, and at the same time, a hundred kinds of displeasure surged towards Mo Han in his heart. Damn it, what right did a useless wimp like him have to possess a goddess-like Luo Ning.

"Zi Tong, let it be, your cousin has it hard enough," Wang Qiang intervened, feigning comfort, "If you have to blame anyone, it’s because she married a loser."

Ha ha ha...

A burst of laughter filled the hall, many men’s eyes revealing pity.

Luo Ning was a woman of stunning beauty with incomparable looks, figure, and demeanor, it was just her misfortune to have married such a good-for-nothing like Mo Han.

"You..."

Luo Ning was so angry she turned red and was at a loss for words.

Daughter Chen Chen seemed to notice everyone was making fun of her parents; tears swirled in her eyes.

At that moment, Mo Han stepped forward, standing in front of his wife and daughter, looking at Luo Zitong, "Are you so certain that the gift I brought for Grandma is only worth twenty or thirty yuan?"
