Chapter 305 - 305: You Call That Precious?
Everyone's gaze turned to the butler, Uncle Liang.
Uncle Liang took out the list of gifts and after reading it said, "Among all the presents from the guests, aside from the Ming Dynasty calligraphy and painting 'Red Mountain of the Rising Sun' by Dong Qichang, which Mr. Zheng from Hang Lun Group estimated to be worth 120 million, Mr. Wang's 'Life Origin Pill' is indeed the most precious. In terms of price, it's nearly ten times higher."
Wang Shanming looked up at Momo and said, "Now you're sure, right?"
"Is something valuable just because it's priced high?" Momo pouted and then lifted her left hand, showing off the seven-colored bracelet on her wrist, saying, "In my eyes, this is the most precious gift!"
"What?!"
Wang Shanming furrowed his brows.
Young Master Liang and others were also perplexed.
Isn't that bracelet the one Qin Feng gave her?
What does she mean by this?
At this moment, Qin Feng felt a pang in his heart.
Now, he finally had an epiphany, an enlightenment.
No wonder Momo insisted on inviting him to the birthday party, no wonder she stopped calling him "Master" and switched to the more intimate "Brother," she wanted to use him as a shield for her arranged marriage!
"Ah, this girl, should've just been upfront if she needed help, it's not like I wouldn't assist her. Now I'm completely unprepared, what if my wife misunderstands?" Qin Feng sighed inwardly.
"What is that gift?"
Wang Shanming asked butler Uncle Liang.
At this moment, seeing an opportunity, Young Master Liang quickly stepped forward and said, "Brother Wang, that's just an ordinary bracelet. I saw that guy named Qin Feng buy it myself; he only spent two thousand yuan!"
"Two thousand?"
Wang Shanming was also slightly stunned, then looked at Momo with a mixture of laughter and tears, "Is that what you call precious?"
"The things I like are what I consider valuable. If I don't like something, even a mountain of gold would still be undesirable to me!" Momo declared.
"You..."
Wang Shanming's brows tightened, clearly feeling rejected.
He turned his head to look at Qin Feng.
He wanted to see who this person, who gave a gift worth only two thousand yuan but defeated his billion-yuan one, really was.
Qin Feng was busy explaining to everybody at the moment, "Don't misunderstand me, my gift was purely a sign of friendship; I'm a married man." Help us out by reading on *.
He had no choice.
Momo's statement that whoever's gift was the most precious, she would be their girlfriend, had scared him.
What if his wife misunderstood? Would he have to kneel on the keyboard?
Upon hearing this, everyone looked down on him.
Wang Shanming even said, "Humph, I haven't even spoken yet and you're already this terrified? Haha!"
He looked back at Momo and said, "You can't possibly like that kind of trinket, can you?"
"Don't worry about what I like. The point is, according to our previous agreement, your gift wasn't the most precious, so you and I have nothing to do with each other anymore." Momo stated.
"You're clearly being unreasonable!"
Wang Shanming said, frowning.
At this moment.
The elders heard their argument and stepped out from their private rooms one after the other.
After understanding the situation.
Momo's father, Shi Baoshan, with a stern expression, scolded her, "Stop this nonsense! As a child of the Shi Family, how can you play with words like this? If you continue this way, how can our Shi Family stand in Yanjing in the future!"
"Dad..."
"Don't speak. Our Shi Family has always been true to our word. Since Shanming's gift is the most precious, then according to your own agreement, you must adhere to your marriage promise, which you proposed!" Shi Baoshan said seriously.
Seeing this, Momo hurriedly looked to her grandfather, Shi Tiankai, with a pleading gaze, "Grandfather..."
Shi Tiankai shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, "Momo, when it comes to a matter of reputation like this, Grandpa really can't help you. It was you who proposed that whoever's gift was the most precious would win your favor. I thought you were prepared for this, but it turns out you were just playing word games. This isn't the style of our Shi Family, alas..."
Hearing this, the crowd below broke into applause for Shi Tiankai and Shi Baoshan, praising them for being true to their military family heritage, for they kept their word and followed through!
At the same time, many were congratulating Wang Shanming, for winning the beauty's affection was indeed a joyful and congratulatory affair!
Momo, on the verge of tears, looked towards Qin Feng.
At this moment, Wang Baoshan called for silence with a solemn gesture and said, "Tonight, is my daughter Momo's birthday, and with this occasion, I would also like to make a formal announcement to everyone. According to the previous agreement between Momo and Shanming, now that Shanming has fulfilled it, here I declare the two of them..."
"Wait a moment!"
A voice came from the crowd.
Everyone turned to look, and it was none other than Qin Feng.
At this moment, Qin Feng had a look of helplessness.
To help her.
Clearly, he was risking offending his wife!
But.
If he didn't help, with the Shi Family's military background, once the announcement was made, it would certainly be the final decision. Trying to help Momo later would only exacerbate the situation.
"Oh?"
Shi Baoshan looked at Qin Feng skeptically and asked, "Young friend, do you have any insights?"
Sorry, wife, for what I'm about to do. Please forgive me!
Qin Feng silently recited in his mind.
Afterward.
He stepped forward and said, "I think you may be mistaken, the most precious among the gifts that everyone has presented is not the 'Life Origin Pill.'"
At his words, the crowd was in an uproar!
Wang Shanming's brow furrowed deeper, his gaze becoming darker and sinister.
"I have looked into the Life Origin Pill."
Qin Feng continued, "It does indeed allow an ordinary person to directly possess a Qi Sea, which is very valuable, but the downside of using the 'Life Origin Pill' to form a Qi Sea in the Dantian is very clear—it forever sets one's potential at the level of Inner Strength, unable to advance further."
"Heh."
Wang Shanming let out a disdainful laugh and said, "What you mentioned is known to all of us. Our family's Life Origin Pill is only meant for those who have no intention of pursuing Martial Arts Training."
"However, Momo is going to become a martial arts expert in the future, so this 'Life Origin Pill' is not only of no value to her but would also destroy her Martial Arts future," Qin Feng stated.
"You're wrong there! Momo has no intention of pursuing martial arts training!" Wang Shanming said.
"Heh, that was in the past."
Qin Feng gave a grin and a dismissive "heh."
When it came to showing contempt, he had never lost to anyone.
At the same time.
He covertly signaled to Momo with his eyes.
Momo immediately understood and quickly said, "That's right! I had no intention of practicing martial arts before, but now I intend to train, so this Life Origin Pill is of no value to me. If it has no value, how can it be precious?"
"This..."
The crowd buzzed upon hearing her words.
It seemed to make some sense.
"Don't be ridiculous!"
Shi Baoshan scolded Momo, saying, "When you were younger, I asked you to train in martial arts and you refused, and now at this moment you say you want to train? Speaking so childishly, it doesn't count!"
"Wait!"
Having heard about martial arts training, her grandfather Shi Tiankai's eyes lit up and he said, "Momo, do you really intend to train in martial arts?"
"Really!"
"Then tell me, why didn't you train before, and why do you want to train now? As long as you give a suitable reason, I will allow it!" Elder Shi said.
