There were many people gathered at the end of the red carpet.
Old Mrs. Bo stood in the middle of the crowd.
She was dressed very simply, in a Chinese-style long gown and trousers, and looked like she had just returned from practicing Tai Chi in the park.
Although her hair is gray, she is in good spirits and looks much younger than her peers. Her eyes are clear and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes are not obvious.
Because I am a little fat, there is no lost collagen in my face.
This is what it means to have white hair and a youthful face.
Jiang Ciyou thought to himself.
Behind her was a reception table filled with gifts from guests. Various gift boxes of varying sizes had piled up like a mountain.
At that time, Jiang Xiaoxiao was opening a square brocade box as a gift.
"Mrs. Bo, this is a birthday gift from the Jiang family in Rongcheng. It's a set of high-end jewelry from Queen, worth eight million yuan."
QUEEN is an internationally renowned luxury jewelry brand, although this brand only came into being three years ago.
However, it is loved by ladies all over the world because of its exquisite design.
The old lady glanced at the jewels in the brocade box and smiled: "Thank you, Miss Jiang."
Jiang Xiaoxiao continued to introduce: "As long as the old lady likes it, the price is secondary. As everyone knows, QUEEN only accepts private customization, and each model is a unique piece. I also spent a lot of effort to buy this necklace, because I think only the uniqueness of QUEEN is worthy of the old lady's status."
The old lady raised her hand and signaled the waiter standing next to her to accept the gift box.
Before Jiang Xiaoxiao could finish her words, the gift box was taken away by the waiter and casually placed among the pile of gifts behind her, where it was instantly buried.
"The next family to present a gift is the Zhao family in Beijing." The old butler read aloud while holding the gift book.
Before entering, everyone has to register their name at the door, and then present gifts to the old lady in the order of arrival.
Jiang Xiaoxiao had a lot more to say, but was interrupted by the housekeeper.
He could only reluctantly retreat to the side of Yao Shulan.
She didn't understand why the Jiang family prepared such generous and valuable gifts.
Why didn't it cause any ripples?
Even the guests watching around did not hear any compliments or praise from them.
But Jiang Xiaoxiao soon understood.
The gifts sent by the wealthy families in the capital were all priceless.
The imperial green jade ruyi, the blue and white porcelain from the Xuande period, the cowpea red apple vase from the Kangxi period, and the antique calligraphy and paintings were all worth more than tens of millions. It seemed that her eight million worth of jewelry was not enough.
"The next one to present a gift is the Yan family of Rongcheng."
Jiang Ciyou and Yan Feng stepped forward together.
Jiang Xiaoxiao's gaze also fell on Jiang Ciyu.
When Jiang Ciyou presented the gift, a sarcastic smile appeared on her face.
Jiang Ciyou has already opened his brocade box.
Wrapped in the red velvet are small pieces of incense, each as long as a finger.
A whole box, neatly arranged.
"Mrs. Bo, this is a birthday gift from the Yan family. I hope you like it."
Jiang Xiaoxiao knew that Jiang Ciyou had a hobby of making incense.
How could these pretentious little hobbies hold up in such a situation? She is too narcissistic.
All the gifts the old lady received were priceless.
How can such worthless things be worthy of being displayed in a prestigious place?
The old lady picked up the brocade box, put it to her nose and smelled it, with a smile on her face: "Thank you, Miss Jiang."
Jiang Ciyou was slightly stunned.
How did the old lady know her last name? She had clearly registered as Mrs. Yan just now.
Just when Mrs. Bo was about to have someone put it away.
Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly stood up and said, "I heard that Mrs. Yan has a hobby of making incense. Could this incense be made by Mrs. Yan herself?"
Jiang Ciyou had seen her a long time ago.
Jiang Ciyou smiled and said, "Yes, this is a little hobby of mine. This kind of incense is called "Li Wanghua Jinchen". It is made of roses, agarwood and various spices according to the ancient method..."
There was a hint of pride in Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes.
Before Jiang Ciyou finished speaking, she couldn't wait to speak.
"Mrs. Yan, you casually gave the little gadget you made as a gift for the old lady's 70th birthday. Isn't that too disrespectful to the old lady? How much does this small box of aromatherapy cost, one thousand or ten thousand?"
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Ciyou and Yan Feng.
Jiang Xiaoxiao deliberately glanced at Yan Feng and said, "The Yan family has fallen to such a state that they can't even send a decent gift?"
Yan Feng's face didn't look good either.
He caught a cold from using the air conditioner last night and has been feeling dizzy since he woke up in the morning.
So the task of preparing gifts for the old lady was given to Jiang Ciyou.
Grandpa said last night that this meeting is of vital importance to the Yan family.
So there is no upper limit on the budget for gifts.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ciyou actually used a box of spices he made to fool people.
If the Bo family is offended because of the small gift, the resort project will be impossible at all.
Yan Feng's face was serious and he was about to blame him.
Jiang Ciyou spoke slowly.
"I heard that the reason why the old lady came to Rongcheng for recuperation three years ago was because of insomnia. My fragrance has the effect of calming the nerves and helping sleep. I hope it can alleviate the old lady's insomnia and headaches."
She also did some homework at the company in the afternoon and found out that the old lady had insomnia.
Jiang Xiaoxiao said sarcastically: "It's just a fragrance. Mrs. Yan, don't brag about it as a miracle drug. If aromatherapy can cure diseases, why do we need hospitals?"
At that time, the red-haired woman standing next to the old lady put her nose to the edge of the brocade box and sniffed: "This is not the traditional Li Wang Jinhua Chen, it seems to have a slight medicinal fragrance."
Jiang Ciyou said calmly: "I changed the ratio of the traditional formula and added several calming herbs such as calamus and nightshade, so it has a medicinal aroma."
The red-haired woman smiled and said to Old Lady Bo: "Grandma, I really like this fragrance. If you don't want it, just give it to me."
The person who spoke was Bo Xinyi, the old lady's granddaughter, who had rushed back from abroad especially for the old lady's birthday.
"Who said I don't like it?"
The old lady looked at Jiang Ciyou, looked him up and down, and smiled kindly: "This fragrance, I just smelled it, and I feel refreshed. Old Zheng, put the fragrance in my bedroom so that no one will miss it."
Butler Lao Zheng responded quickly and carefully took the brocade box from Bo Jingyi's hand.
Turned around and left.
When Jiang Xiaoxiao saw this scene, her face froze.
The old lady never even glanced at the eight million worth of jewelry she gave her.
The incense that Jiang Ciyou made herself happened to be favored by the old lady, who even kept it for herself.
Are these rich people mentally ill?
The gift-giving process is still going on, but many of those who have given gifts have dispersed.
Jiang Xiaoxiao had just made herself look bad and didn't want to stay there.
After turning around and walking a few steps, she heard people talking about her.
"That seems to be the biological daughter that the Jiang family found three years ago. I heard that she grew up in the countryside."
"No wonder she has the air of a country bumpkin. She even mentioned the price of a piece of jewelry. Can't she see that the imperial green jade bracelet on the old lady's wrist is worth 200 million? Everyone can see that her necklace is just an entry-level piece of jewelry for a queen. I felt embarrassed for her when she emphasized the 8 million just now."
"You are not from Rongcheng, but you know that the one who sent the incense just now is the original daughter of the Jiang family."
"No wonder. It's really mean to deliberately make things difficult for others in such an occasion. I think Mrs. Yan is generous and elegant, with a natural temperament. She seems to be destined to be rich and noble."
"By the way, her Li Wang incense smells really good. Even from such a distance I can feel the fragrance is high-end. This is a top-notch luxury product. It's not like some people who only know how to negotiate the price."
Jiang Xiaoxiao's fingers turned white when she heard this.
Everyone likes Jiang Ciyou.
But everything about Jiang Ciyou, her elegance, her composure, and her dignity from the inside out, were all taken away from her.
One day, she would tear off her beautiful and gorgeous face and let people see what she was supposed to look like.
