Chapter 482: Chapter 482

The birthday gift presentation started, and the first one to be brought up was naturally Mo Shu’s.

When her grand longevity peach was presented, many people, whether genuinely or falsely, exclaimed that Princess Mo was truly original.

Because this was a wood carving, about half the size of an adult, and with the solid wood stand beneath it, it stood at a full 1.6 meters tall.

The carving was extremely exquisite, one side displaying the longevity peach, the other side showing the character for "longevity," yet within the character, there was another universe.

A lifelike picture of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix, its details meticulous and nuanced.

This was the very artwork that Mo Shu had bid a huge sum for at the auction.

This piece of art had always been well hidden, and Grandpa Mo was seeing it for the first time.

Seeing this birthday gift, Grandpa Mo seemed overjoyed, caressing it with his aged hands, repeatedly praising, "Excellent, excellent, you’ve put so much thought into this!"

Mo Shu hugged Grandpa happily and said, "I wish you a happy birthday, may your fortune be as boundless as the Eastern Sea, and may your life be as long as the heavens!"

Quite a few reporters were present, clearly recording this scene.

The second to offer a birthday gift was Mo Jiantao.

Mo Jiantao had never been much of a highlight, but now, as he presented his birthday gift, everyone noticed Mr. Mo’s only son.

The gift Mo Jiantao brought was not as ingeniously thought out as Mo Shu’s, but it was still very precious and unique, consisting of the Four Treasures of the Study — brush, ink stick, inkstone, and paper.

Then came the birthday gifts from Qin Yuan, Qin An, and the Yu Family parents.

Grandpa Mo was very pleased, accepting each one in turn.

At the scene, those who were eating dined, and those who were giving gifts presented them, with many people bringing quite valuable gifts. When the host announced them, their faces beamed with pride.

But Mo Shu was always very curious about what Yu Siqiao had actually given and was getting impatient for it, so she found Yu Siqiao and asked quietly, "Didn’t you prepare a birthday gift for Grandpa?"

Yu Siqiao laughed softly and said, "As if I’m tired of living, Grandpa is the person you’re closest to in this world, I can’t possibly miss out on Old Master’s gift."

Mo Shu snorted and took advantage of the moment when no one around was paying attention to pinch his face with both hands, saying, "Your tongue is getting more and more silver."

Yu Siqiao bent down, whispered, "Do you dislike it?"

Mo Shu slightly pouted, "Who knows if you’re also this talkative with other people?"

"Who is ’other people’?" Yu Siqiao drew closer, holding her hand against his chest earnestly saying, "There’s only one person in here." For original chapters go to N()velFire.net

Mo Shu’s heart almost melted away.

Suppressing a smile, Mo Shu grabbed at his chest and said, "Don’t change the subject, what exactly is your birthday gift?"

"You’ll know soon enough," Yu Siqiao said mysteriously, "I think, Grandpa will definitely love it."

With Yu Siqiao saying that, Mo Shu became even more curious, her heart itching with anticipation.

Mo Shu then came back to her senses and noticed many people around them were looking.

Face growing warm, Mo Shu put on a serious expression, cleared her throat, and said, "When is it coming out then?"

"I’m the last one," Yu Siqiao said, "Let’s go eat first, it’s not time yet."

There were simply too many people giving gifts.

Naturally, Grandpa Mo couldn’t sit and receive gifts until the end; he had the host announce them publicly, and everyone had their meal and socialized as necessary.

Suddenly, Mo Shu remembered something very important and glanced at the time.
