Chapter 128 - The Gift Was A Masterpiece (1/2)

----After a moment...

”Now I would like to invite Princess Xiao to welcome you all.”

From the stairs to the right of the stage, Xiao Ran walked down elegantly. She was wearing an Eve Champagne gown that a hand-embellished neck with cut dana and crafted with embellished straps and a tube neckline.

Her neck was clasped with an embellished choker along with a three-layered body chain that was tasseled on her shoulder. The diamonds were engraved in that chain and her earrings.

----In the corner----

At the moment, Jing Zhe's blood boiled. Her face turned pale seeing how everyone praising Xiao Ran as Princess Xiao: ”That W***h!”

Xiao Shen was really frustrated, her expression sunk as she said sternly, ”We definitely can't let her stay in the Xiao Family.”

Since they were in a secluded spot, nobody heard their criticism.

---------Back to the center-----

Xiao Ran entrance could have graced any runway or magazine cover, but she was better than those two-dimensional photoshopped models. Moreover, the way she looked made everyone shiver in fear and respect. No wonder she was called General Xiao, her aura was full of domination.

In a clear voice, she welcomed all: ”Good evening Ladies and gentlemen. It is my pŀėȧsurė to welcome everyone to our beautiful venue tonight. On behalf of the Xiao Family, I thank you for joining us on this joyful occasion. Please join me in a toast.”

A waiter brought some champagne to Xiao Ran.

Raising her glass towards her grandfather, Xiao Ran expressed: ”Happy 60th birthday, Grandpa. I love you. May you celebrate many more birthdays in great health and even greater spirits.”

The guests clapped their hands to express their gratitude.

Turning back to the guests, she continued: ”Everyone, please drink up and enjoy the rest of the party!”

After that the guests came forward, one by one, to present their gifts to Elder Xiao.

Every gift he received was a priceless work of art, and most of them were from overseas. Not only did one need money and power to acquire them, but one also needed luck as it was not easy to come across these precious things!

Elder Xiao knew their selfish reasons and it was the main reason that he hated to have a birthday party was for this very thing. People brought priceless artifacts all to claim some piece of the Xiao family power. It made him disgusted to see so many people fawn over him just to improve their own standing in society.

Su Dingfang, one of the aristocratic families of City A, and best friend of Elder Xiao came forward with a big box. He was quite a mysterious character.

Elder Xiao took it carefully and opened the box to look through it. He was extremely surprised.

”Bro Su, This is too much!”

Su Dingfang smiled: ”Bro Xiao, I know that you love playing it. I accidentally found this piece when I was overseas and I immediately thought of you when I saw it. It took me quite some effort to get it back here, you'll surely like it!”
