The luxurious cruise ship was brightly lit and bustling with noise.

Today was the 60th birthday of the Master of the Chu family, Old Madam Chu.

All the famous people in Lin City presented their birthday gifts one after another.

"I'm the chairman of the Canghai Ocean Group. I'd like to give you a pair of Agate earrings. I wish you a long life!"

"Zhao Qiankun, the young master of the Zhao family, will send a piece of Pu'an tea bricks to Old Madam Chu..."

With a cane in her hand, Old Madam Chu looked at the birthday gifts presented one after another with a happy face. These gifts added up to millions of yuan.

However, the next gift stunned Old Madam Chu. She was even a little angry.

"Long Chen, the son-in-law of the Chu family, give me a black stone!"

Looking at the black stone lying in the exquisite package box, the guests immediately began to talk about it, and their faces were full of contempt.

"Long Chen? Isn't he the trash who married into the Chu family three years ago?"

"Yes, I don't know what Old Master Chu is thinking. Before he died, he married Chu Wanrou to such a poor and powerless guy. Although Chu Qinghe's family is not valued, Wanrou is still a descendant of the Chu family."

"Oh, I heard that Chu Wanrou and Long Chen have moved out. It seems that Old Madam Chu is very dissatisfied with her son-in-law. Anyway, as a junior, she can't be so disrespectful. She actually sent a broken stone on the birthday. Is she trying to make trouble for Old Madam Chu?"

Old Madam Chu's face was getting darker and darker, and she was about to fight against the stone. She threw the dragon head cane in her hand and shouted angrily, "Chu Qingyu, come out! Let's see what your son-in-law has done!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a big belly squeezed out of the crowd. He was Chu Qinghe, Chu Wanrou's father, Long Chen's father-in-law.

"Mom, listen to my explanation. I just gave him 50,000 yuan to buy a gift in the morning, but I didn't expect this guy to buy a stone."

Chu Qinghe wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said in his heart, "It's true that I shouldn't give such an important thing as buying gifts to this good-for-nothing! It's been three years. This good-for-nothing hasn't done anything serious. At most, he does housework and cooks. He doesn't even have a job to earn money. Instead, he has to take care of himself gently. He's simply useless."

"Long Chen? Is that true?" Old Madam Chu glanced at Long Chen in the crowd with disdain.

Long Chen looked at Old Madam Chu and answered indifferently, "Yes, I carefully selected this raw jade gemstone. Although it costs 50,000 yuan, if I find a master craftsman to carve it, the value of the imperial jade inside will be at least tens of millions."

"Ten million? If I remember correctly, the person I saw at Jade Street yesterday was you! Brother-in-law?"

A teasing voice came from the side. It was Chu Mengyao, the most trusted member of the younger generation of the Chu family.

Jade Street? Everyone present knew what kind of place it was. If it was possible that the antique street was a place where the good mixed with the bad and the bad mixed, then the things on Jade Street were all sold for the price of goods. The chance of real goods was almost zero.

Over ten million was impossible. Over a thousand was already the limit.

The meaning behind Chu Mengyao's words was very obvious. Long Chen had pocketed the 50,000 yuan that Chu Qinghe had given him and picked up a stone to fill in the numbers.

Long Chen glanced at him indifferently and said, "This jade stone is indeed bought in Jade Street."

Hearing this, the guests burst into laughter. Chu Mengyao couldn't help laughing. "That kind of place can produce tens of millions of jades? It's so funny!"

Chu Mengyao walked to a half-human-sized jade Buddha statue with a smile and proudly pointed to the Jade Buddhist Sect.

"Look at my gift to grandma. It's Tian Yu Buddha! It took me a lot of effort to get it. It's worth millions of yuan! You want to pick it up with 50,000 yuan? You're still far from it!"

When Old Madam Chu saw the jade Buddha statue, her eyes lit up instantly. "Quick, move closer and let me take a closer look!"

The two servants immediately invited the jade Buddha statue to the front of Old Madam Chu.

"Oh my god, this exquisite cutting skill, this vivid expression, it's so similar! I've always wanted such a jade Buddha statue to be placed in my bedroom. Mengyao knows my thoughts."

Old Madam Chu's eyes were almost narrowed into a line. She reached out happily to touch the jade Buddha statue, but stopped halfway.

"No, no, you can't be so disrespectful to Buddha. Amitabha, Amitabha..." Old Madam Chu murmured to herself. She took out a string of Buddha beads from her sleeve and bowed.

Seeing that Old Madam Chu was so satisfied with Jade Buddha, Chu Mengyao was even more proud. Compared with her gift, Long Chen's gift was not worth mentioning.

Long Chen by the side focused his attention on the jade Buddha statue for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "This jade is fake."

"A fake?"

The guests looked at each other in dismay. They really could not see that the real jade Buddha statue was fake.

On the other hand, Chu Mengyao's face instantly flushed red. "Long Chen, today is Grandma's birthday party. We can eat for free, but we can't talk nonsense!"

Recently, Chu Mengyao had used the money to make up for the loss of her husband Zhang Hao's company. She had no money to buy a good gift for Old Madam Chu. She chose a cheap one and was afraid of dropping the price. Therefore, she thought of using the second-class one to make up for it. She thought that no one would see through it.

"But since when did this good-for-nothing have such good taste? Did he make a blind guess? Yes, he must have guessed it!"

Chu Mengyao thought to herself. She pointed at Long Chen and tried to bluff. "I think you're a desperate dog. I've exposed that you bought fake goods in Jade Street, and you're accusing me of the Jade Buddha statue. If you have the ability, show me the evidence..."

Long Chen chuckled and made a gesture of "please" after saying, " evidence? It's simple. There is a clear oil luster on the surface of the jade. It looks fragile, but it's actually hard. As long as you scratch the surface with a sharp weapon and see if there are any scratches, you can judge whether it's real or not."

Chu Mengyao looked embarrassed and said hesitantly, "This..."

"What, you don't dare to try? Do you need me to help you..."

Before Long Chen could finish his words, Old Madam Chu walked over with her dragon head cane and hit him on the leg.

"You are a good-for-nothing. How long do you want to make trouble? Not only did you give me a broken stone, but you also slandered my granddaughter for sending a fake Buddha! How can the Buddha be fake? You are disrespectful to the Buddha Lord. You deserve to be beaten!"

Feeling the pain in his leg, Long Chen instantly became alert like a leopard sensing danger. He clenched his fists and stared at Old Madam Chu with his red eyes.

But he soon reacted and restrained his breath. He reminded himself that he was in the Chu family, not in a dangerous battlefield, or in his Dragon King's palace.

"You! You are a good-for-nothing. How dare you glare at me? Don't you accept it?"

Old Madam Chu was scared at first, but soon came to her senses. On one hand, she was confused that she was scared by this good-for-nothing. On the other hand, she continued to wave her walking stick and hit Long Chen's back. This time, Long Chen was not angry.

"Grandma, Long Chen is not sensible. Don't blame him. Later, I will prepare a decent gift for you."

When Chu Wanrou saw that Old Madam Chu was angry, she quickly pulled Long Chen away and bowed to Old Madam Chu.

Although she was dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by the Old Master, she gradually felt that it was not a bad thing to marry Long Chen during these five years.

At least Long Chen treated her well, so she didn't have to deal with those annoying men for the sake of the family marriage. So when she saw that the situation was out of control, she immediately stepped forward to help out.

Old Madam Chu looked at Chu Wanrou with a look of disgust. This child was quite good-looking. Judging from his figure, he was also a man who could give birth to a child. However, he was disobedient. He had told her to divorce and marry Zhao Qiankun, the son of the Zhao family, so that she could move back to the Chu family. This child refused to leave no matter what. What was so good about a good-for-nothing like Long Chen?

"Humph, you don't need to. You'd better save money and live a happy life with this good-for-nothing!"

Old Madam Chu snorted faintly from her nostrils and turned her head back. Chu Mengyao hurried forward to help her, but she did not forget to look back at Long Chen proudly.

"Old Madam Chu, that stone..."

Asked the servant who was carrying the stone that Long Chen had given him.

"Throw as far as you can!"

Old Madam Chu said angrily and pushed the stone away.

As a result, the servant failed to hold it firmly. The stone fell to the ground with a crash and was smashed into pieces.

"Green, it's green!"

"What? There really is jade in the black stone!"

"This piece of jade looks pretty good. It's really a waste."

The guests pointed at the broken stones and discussed. Some of them even knew the value of jade.

Old Madam Chu turned around when she heard that. When she saw the dazzling green glow in the black stone that had been smashed into pieces, her old face immediately trembled. Even the glow reflected by the broken jade was even stronger than that of her grandmother's green glow that was embedded in her dragon head crutch.

Standing aside, Chu Mengyao looked even more shocked. Her mouth was slightly open, and she could not speak for a moment.
