Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Perfect Show

Until the afternoon, most of the guests who came and gave gifts had left, and the official birthday banquet was after the evening.

The Mo family no longer continued to receive guests from outside, and what remained in the dining room were the immediate family members of the Mo family, or relatives and friends who were very close and closely related in terms of social status.

"Grandpa Mo, I haven't been able to speak before. This is a gift prepared by our Ji family for you." Ji Mengran took out a refined antique box in her hand at the table.

When she said this, she deliberately glanced at Ji Nuan.

Ji Nuan noticed her gaze and didn't do anything to reflect it.

The relatives at the table saw that someone opened the door again, and all kinds of special and elaborate gifts were placed on the table one by one. Take it apart and show it to the old man like a treasure.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Ji Mengran suddenly said, "Sister, why haven't I seen your birthday gift? Take it out and show it to Grandpa Mo! I can believe that your birthday gift will be very special!"

Saying that, she winked at Ji Nuan, smiling as if innocent.

"It's really special, after all, it's not easy to get it." Ji Nuan took out the square-shaped red sandalwood gift box that couldn't tell what it contained, and put it on the table.

Seeing that the size of the gift box was the same size as the chessboard Ji Mengran had given her before, Ji Mengran's eyes were full of excitement.

When Ji Hongwen saw the box Ji Nuan took out, his brows furrowed imperceptibly.

"Grandpa, this is a surprise for you, I believe you will like it very much." Ji Nuan put the gift box in front of Mr. Mo and smiled sincerely.

Grandpa Mo was smiling, but before he spoke, Ji Mengran suddenly stared at the red sandalwood gift box and said with a look of shock, "No way, sister! This is the birthday gift you want to give Grandpa Mo?"

Ji Nuan calmly said, "What?"

Ji Mengran still had a shocked expression: "Look at the size of this gift box, what you have in it is... Could it be our family's chessboard from the early Tang Dynasty? Dad lost a beloved antique a few days ago. I thought that you were secretly taking it away! Sister, I know you want to please Grandpa Mo, but you can't steal your dad's most cherished antiques to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha!"

Ji Hongwen almost couldn't sit still at this moment: "My little daughter is open-mouthed, don't take offense, Mr. Mo, Nuan Nuan will never do such a thing. As for this jade chessboard..."

Shen Heru suddenly spoke from the side: "I just said that a few days ago, I felt that something was missing from the antique shelf in your study, but Ji Nuan secretly took it away."

After speaking, Shen Heru shook her head and sighed again: "Although Nuan Nuan wants to give something good to Mr. Mo, the original intention is good, but after all, it is also a daughter who is married, which is like a splash of water, so when you go back to her parents' house, you don't even say hello. Taking such a valuable private collection of antiques directly is not considered stealing, but it is indeed against the rules."

"Don't say a few words!" Ji Hongwen didn't get angry directly because of the presence of the Mo family, but he kicked Shen Heru fiercely under the table and warned her not to talk nonsense.

Shen Heru didn't say a word, but her eyes looked at Ji Nuan vaguely.

I don't believe that Ji Nuan has all the witnesses and physical evidence, and what else can she do to clear herself? In the eyes of the two families, Ji Nuan definitely said that it was useless to have a rotten tongue.

Ji Nuan still smiled indifferently: "What chessboard? Mengran and Aunt Shen, why didn't I understand a word of what they said?"

What a surprise.

This incident was not just a ghost of Ji Mengran alone, she said how could the chessboard be taken out when she said it was taken, it seems that Shen Heru helped her behind the scenes.

It's really a good show with a seamless match. If it was Ji Nuan from the previous life, he would be unprepared for Ji Mengran. I am afraid that now it is estimated that he is really going to be wronged.

This kind of thing even if Mo Lao's exit is suppressed,

He rounded up the scene for her, but the scolding behind it is also indispensable. All his life, he will be stabbed in the spine by relatives and friends to ridicule and ridicule.

"Sister, don't pretend to be stupid, this chessboard is in there, you can't take back the gift that has been sent to Grandpa Mo now." Ji Mengran said in a high tone.

Ji Nuan glanced at her, and there was a sneer in her eyes that was not easy to be noticed: "Mengran, why are you saying something so strange today?"

"Sister, I'm here for your own good, don't pretend, you steal this jade chessboard from the early Tang Dynasty and give it to Grandpa Mo, even if Dad doesn't care about you now, this chessboard can't be used as a birthday gift at all! Ji Mengran sighed as he spoke: "This chessboard was the collection of an eunuch in the early Tang Dynasty who devastated the court. The eunuch was later convicted of Ling Chi's death for conspiracy. This chessboard was also buried with it, this is a burial thing! Even if it is indeed an expensive antique worth collecting now, this kind of thing can never be used as a birthday gift!"

Ji Mengran's voice was getting lower and lower, as if she didn't mean to say these things, but her voice was just right so that everyone at the table could hear clearly: "Giving this kind of thing, what is your intention, sister..."

"Mengran!" Ji Hongwen went from being shocked just now to admitting that he was wrong, but he didn't expect Ji Mengran to say such a thing, and suddenly wanted to slap her to death.

Ji Mengran has already said everything, and he can't take it back. He simply looked at Ji Nuan fearlessly, but he didn't see any surprised, flustered or even fearful expression on Ji Nuan's face.

She finally found an opportunity that could make Ji Nuan unable to continue to stand in the Mo family, and she couldn't miss it like this.

All the relatives and friends who were sitting had different eyes, but because the old man Mo kept his face cold and did not speak, no one dared to slander at will, but this kind of thing, even if the old man wanted to protect Ji Nuan, now he is afraid that he can't protect it. ? On the 80th birthday of the old man, he sent a funeral item for the rebellious eunuch of the Tang Dynasty, but he was still an eunuch who was killed by Ling Chi. This is simply... unreasonable!

Mo Jingshen always sat on the side with an indifferent expression, only when the scene was almost finished, did he sneer lightly.

When Ji Mengran saw that Mo Jingshen didn't speak out to protect Ji Nuan immediately, he probably thought that Ji Nuan had done too much, and then said: "Brother Jingshen, I didn't mean to say such things on this occasion, comparable to In terms of my sister's face, Grandpa Mo's body is more important, and the meaning of sending this kind of thing is really bad, so I..."

Mo Jingshen's eyes had a clear and shallow smile. Instead of looking at Ji Mengran, he calmly glanced at the unopened red sandalwood gift box in front of Mr. Mo.

His tone was low and lazy, not hurried or slow: "I'm curious about what I said, why don't you just open it and see what kind of special antique it is, so that the ignorant Miss Ji Er is like reciting history texts. The ins and outs are so familiar."
