442 Good thing comes in pair (1/2)

When Lexi returned inside the function hall of the hotel, they had lined important guests including the immediate family members of the Tang Family up so they could personally present their gifts to the celebrant. Although Lexi was also considered an important guest, thankfully, she didn't need to take part in this activity that was just a masquerade of humble bragging.

Furthermore, this was also meant for Mr. Tang to judge his descendant's personalities by the present they prepared for him. So, in other words, this was a lowkey competition between the Tang family members to add some points to gain more favors from old man Tang. Hence, Lexi would do nothing for the moment and just enjoy the show.

Meanwhile, from the other entrance of the place, Morris Liu had finally returned minutes after Lexi's arrival. Both of them acted as usual as if they didn't have an emotional encounter as they had gone to their separate ways; Lexi on the side alone since she could not sight her best friend while Morris Liu joined a group of middle-aged businessmen who're part of Mr. Tang's circle earlier.

”Grandpa…” One reserved yet beautiful lady courteously bowed her head as she greeted Mr. Tang. Upon seeing her approach, Mr. Tang smiled as he slightly waved his hand gesturing to her to lift her head which she did.

”Please accept my gift. I wish you good health and long life, Grandpa.” The woman meekly smiled as the butler on the side carried her wrapped gifts for him. Mr. Tang nodded in acknowledgment as a smile revealed on his lips that was hiding beneath his blanched beard.

Soon, as a 'tradition' in this kind of grand celebration, the crowd watched the butler carefully unwrapped what lies beneath the covers of the gift that Mr. Tang received from this unpopular granddaughter of his.

”This is a renowned masterpiece of Bernard which I luckily got my hands…” As they revealed the gift, the woman began explaining what it obviously was and highlighted how previous it was. Of course, even the Tang Family had their own family drama going on as the situation slightly escalated.

On the other hand, Lexi, who was witnessing everything, got less and less inclined to watch this drama. It was not a melodramatic situation, but clearly, Mr. Tang's offspring were fighting to the death to be the favored one.

One major problem of some wealthy families.

”I wonder if I also have a sister or brother, what relationship will we have? Probably, a good one since we have Mom and Dad as parents.” As Lexi watched the next granddaughter flaunts her shocking ten of millions worth gift to her grandfather, Lexis slowly looked around to find her friends instead.

Just then, she felt her purse vibrate from the inside. Hence, Lexi checked her phone and answered Jarred Guo's call.

”Oh, dear… I guess a glass of wine is not enough?” She murmured as the side of her lips slowly curled into a devilish smirk. A muffled chuckle then followed it as she restrained herself from laughing out loud.

Fortunately, everyone's attention was on the stage where Mr. Tang was receiving all the rarest gifts while the members of his family showcased their wealth and connections as an individual that they concealed by the words 'gifts to show sincerity'. Truly, people in the upper society were amusing in a way.
