It's normal for a villain like me to subdue a corrupted female protagonist, right?

She first greeted He Na with a slightly flushed face, then reached out to He Qinzhou and said, "Where's my gift? Can I have it now?"

"Here, take it yourself."

He Qinzhou kicked the gift bag that was placed next to his feet without caring.

Seeing his nonchalant demeanor, Xu Mengzhu was furious!

"Can't you just hand it to me?"

So, do you want it or not?

"Yes, I want it!"

"That's right, if you want it, do it yourself. I'm too lazy to move."

"Humph!"

Xu Mengzhu angrily bent down and picked up the gift bag, glanced back at He Qinzhou, and hugged the bag tightly to her chest with a silly smile on her face.

"Go open your gift over there and don't disturb my conversation with Sister Na."

He Qinzhou patted Xu Mengzhu's buttocks, then gestured with his eyes to the empty seat next to him.

"……Oh!"

Xu Mengzhu reluctantly walked over and sat down, then began to unpack the gift box.

This scene completely stunned He Na, who had remained silent the whole time...

"You... Qinzhou, you and the daughter of the God of War... is this how you usually get along?"

He Na secretly clicked her tongue in amazement, and couldn't help but think even more highly of her man.

"Roughly the same?"

He Qinzhou was still engrossed in fiddling with his phone, shrugging indifferently as he said something.

"Stone...stone?"

Just then, Xu Mengzhu, who was standing next to her, suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

He Qinzhou and He Na turned their heads at the same time and saw the girl staring at a large rock in her hands, lost in thought.

She never imagined that the first birthday gift He Qinzhou gave her would be just a stone.

What does it mean?

"A solid rock, firm and thick, can last for a thousand years."

He Na's beautiful eyes flickered, and she softly praised, "Qinzhou, you've really put your heart into this..."

"What are you thinking about?"

He Qinzhou rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Sister Na, don't misinterpret this. This girl is blind and can't see it. You can't see it either, can you? Where did we meet today?"

He Na was stunned.

Xu Mengzhu naturally heard the entire conversation between He Qinzhou and He Na.

Upon hearing this, her disappointment vanished instantly, and she began to examine the dull, unremarkable stone in her hand from all angles...

"What's so special about it?"

Xu Mengzhu didn't understand, but someone else did.

Although she was constantly toasting and exchanging drinks with the other guests, Xu Mengzhu kept her eyes on her daughter out of the corner of her eye.

Seeing the jadeite rough in his daughter's arms, he suddenly remembered his conversation with He Qinzhou at the teahouse earlier that day...

"This red jade is a gift I'm planning to give to a friend tonight, and I'm really not selling it."

"It's a good deal; that friend is more important than money."

……

"The friend he mentioned, is it Mengzhu?"

Xu Bowen muttered to himself, feeling inexplicably gratified.

He initially thought the other party was foolish for not making money when they had the chance.

But now... he has good character, values ​​relationships, and cares about the people...

If a young person possessed even one of these excellent qualities, he would think that the young person had a bright future.

But now it's all focused on one person...

Moreover, he was also his future son-in-law, which made him feel a surge of pride.

Xu Bowen was increasingly pleased with He Qinzhou!

"what?"

Just then, a soft exclamation rang out in the arena.

A fat, middle-aged man had originally planned to come and toast Xu Mengzhu.

But when he saw the ordinary-looking stone she was holding, a hint of disdain flashed in his narrowed eyes: "President Xu, everyone has given you so many precious things, but you don't even look at them, yet you're holding a stone like a treasure?"

Xu Mengzhu turned around blankly, then her face immediately turned cold. She frowned and said in a cold voice, "Mr. Zhou, please watch your words. In my heart, your so-called gifts are not even worth a tenth of this broken stone!"

"Huh, really?"

The fat man chuckled and said, "The gift we racked our brains to come up with is actually not even as good as a broken rock for Chairman Xu."

"Isn't Chairman Xu afraid of alienating our members by saying such things?"

"I'm not afraid... I just love this gift."

Xu Mengzhu stubbornly insisted without backing down.

The other party didn't dare to say anything more, since they had come today to curry favor with the daughter of the God of War and the president of the Chamber of Commerce.

Xu Mengzhu walked carefully, carrying the stone, but couldn't help but glance at it a few more times.

It really is just a stone...

Although it was a gift from He Qinzhou.

"What's wrong with my dear daughter?"

Xu Bowen pretended to be passing by, glancing at the stone in Xu Mengzhu's hand. "Hey, that kid from Qinzhou is really something. He knew it was your birthday, so why did he give you such a piece of junk?"

Hearing her father say this, Xu Mengzhu suddenly felt a lump in her throat, but she retorted defiantly, "I like this!"

Xu Bowen chuckled, "If you like it, that's good. Maybe it means that where there's a will, there's a way!"

"really?"

Xu Mengzhu suddenly beamed with joy.

Alas, daughters grow up and leave home...

Xu Bowen sighed inwardly, sat down next to his daughter, raised an eyebrow at He Qinzhou not far away, and then turned to say, "But I have a feeling that He Qinzhou picked this up on the roadside. Anyway, you don't like this gift, so why don't I keep it for you?"

He Qinzhou had originally wanted to eavesdrop on what the two were saying, but when he heard Xu Bowen say such things, he was speechless and rolled his eyes.

That old man, Biden!

He even deceived his own daughter for a piece of jade!

Chapter 279: Who is the real trash?

"No, no, this was given to me by Qinzhou!"

Xu Mengzhu hugged the stone tightly, not caring that the dust on it would soil her dress.

But she soon noticed something was wrong...

A very slight cracking sound rang out in her arms.

"Huh? The stone, the stone... it's broken?"

Xu Mengzhu lowered her head and said with a surprised expression.

Immediately afterwards, the surprise on her face turned into delight!

"This stone is actually red? Is it jade???"

Xu Mengzhu had seen her father gamble on stones before. Now that she saw the stone shattered and saw the blood-red color inside, she knew immediately that it was a piece of jadeite rough.

Moreover, that red... was as bright as blood, even a little dazzling!

As far as I can remember, her father also had one like this, but its color was nowhere near as good as this one.

"Dad, did you already know?"

Xu Mengzhu blinked her big eyes, her gaze instantly filled with wariness.

With my dad's knowledge, he could definitely tell that this was a rough stone, and he probably already knew that there was jade inside.

Just now, I remembered what my dad did!

He's trying to swindle his own Red Jade!

Otherwise, why would they lower themselves to ask me for it?

Damn it...

"Cough cough cough..."

Xu Bowen awkwardly touched his nose.

I was so close to getting it!

But of all times, it cracked at this moment.

"dad!"

"Keep your voice down, there are so many people here!"

Xu Bowen's face flushed slightly.

The father and daughter are having a conversation.

the other side.

Previously, Jay Chou had colluded with several social celebrities to discuss matters privately.

"Is Chairman Xu willing to take a broken stone rather than look at our gifts?"

"Sigh, why do you care about this? No matter how expensive the gifts we send are, they won't catch the eye of the little princess of the Northern War Zone anyway."

"Sicong, you're wrong to say that. It's true that we can't get in, but to be outdone by a broken rock like this is humiliating."

"That's true, Qin Fen. Why don't we go find some girls? We're too lazy to stay here."

"Sure, I'll call my girl out."

at this time.

Xu Bowen's stern, hawk-like eyes swept across the faces of the crowd. He pulled his daughter up and said loudly, "My dear daughter, show these blind people what kind of stone this is!"

Everyone's faces turned pale. They realized that Xu Bowen had overheard them talking badly about them, and they were probably going to offend the God of War of the Northern Border.

Damn it, how did this guy hear me when we were seven or eight meters away?

It is said that the God of War level is someone who has cultivated the martial arts of the Dragon Kingdom to the peak. Could it be that these people also have super hearing?

Knowing that her father was going to stand up for her, Xu Mengzhu still lowered her head shyly.

"Dad, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

However, despite saying that, the joy and pride on her face were still clearly visible.

This was the first gift He Qinzhou gave her, a stone that even her father coveted!

At this moment, the jadeite rough stone had broken into two pieces, which Xu Mengzhu held in her hands, one in each hand.

The interior, a deep crimson hue, shone brilliantly under the banquet lights.

Upon seeing the inside of the stone, all the business owners present widened their eyes in astonishment!

Red jade!

Top-quality red jadeite!

Many of the business owners present enjoy gambling on stones in their spare time, so how could they not know the value of this stone?
