Chapter 862: Too deep a heart
Arlice stared deadly at Edgar who was standing with Yun Jingheng and the others, talking and laughing.
The opportunity was originally his!
Arlice's eyes were red with hatred as he clenched his teeth.
Hearing his mother's words, he averted his eyes and said hatefully, "It's not because Edgar is too deep-rooted in his heart?"
"Didn't he already know who Hector was but didn't tell us, just for this moment?"
Arlice blamed all these faults on the innocent Edgar.
While blaming Edgar for not saying it, they forgot that they hadn't given him time to say it at all.
Farabee waved her hand with an ugly look on her face, "Anyway, are you afraid that you won't have a chance to get closer to your cousin in the future?" Clemon nodded approvingly too.
On Devona's side, the same idea was played.
Silvia said with a thousand words of advice, tugging one son in one hand.
"You both, by all means, have to play nice with your cousins, no messing up."
Pointing again at Fang Yanqin, "Especially you, Yanqin, do you hear me?"
The two brothers, Goode, nodded with conviction.
Several families have their hearts in the right place, and their private calculations are snapping.
Soon the banquet proceeded to the most important part of the gift-giving.
This is not only a sign of how much everyone in the audience feels for him, but also a sign of how valuable the gift is.
In this way the family's strong heritage is demonstrated.
Farabee and Clemon, husband and wife, held an exquisite brocade box and delivered it to Master Khan, who was sitting on the main seat.
"Dad, here's something from my son to pay tribute to you!"
Master Khan took it and half opened the box to have a look.
Inside, a crystal-clear, ice-crystal Maitreya Buddha is contained.
With such a large size, it is considered an expensive gift.
Master Khan only nodded his head lightly and accepted it, not looking very interested.
This is also proof that Farabee did not know Master Khan well and naturally could not capture his preferences.
The same extremely valuable gift from the Devona family did not win a smile from Master Khan.
The two men were still fighting each other as they stepped back.
"What are you giving away that Dad can't even look at."
Farabee taunted Devona and whispered.
Devona gave the same cold snort, "You think yours is what Dad sees?"
Eloise held the book of ten thousand medicines, which she had already retouched for the cover, and walked up to Master Khan, handing it over with both hands. "Grandfather, I have prepared a book of all things, and I don't know if you like it, I hope you don't mind."
Master Khan's eyes lit up as soon as he heard the word medicine, and he took the book with its elaborate cover.
Eloise redid the pale blue cover on the book by hand.
It is inscribed in three square and elegant characters.
The Ten Thousand Medicine Collection.
Master Khan couldn't wait to flip it open and skim through the contents.
He then grinned like an old child who had been given his most beloved toy, "Eloise, you have a heart!"
Master Khan patted Eloise on the shoulder and treasured the collection of ten thousand medicines away. Eloise was kind of relieved.
Hector, on the other hand, presented a huge reishi plant a thousand years old.
and a ginseng that is more than five hundred years old.
Those who were present recognized it at a glance and said in amazement, "My God, that's a thousand-year-old ganoderma, isn't it? And ginseng, at least five hundred years old." Those who spoke were the very connoisseurs who had full knowledge of the herbs.
The room erupted at these words.
A long-established tonic, that is hard to find in a thousand years.
I didn't expect Hector to be so generous with his money.
The crowd was in awe of the depth of the Rogers family.
"Good! Hector, you have a heart."
Master Khan nodded happily.
When it was Edgar's turn, he naturally pitched in and presented him with an equally precious and hard-to-find herb.
Although it's a little worse than Hector's.
But it is also with heart and it is what Master Khan likes.
Naturally, they were also complimented.
"Master Khan is really lucky that his offspring are so knowledgeable."
"Isn't it? Master Khan is blessed with children and grandchildren!"
There was a lot of chatter, not to mention a lot of envy.
Master Khan's face was quite rosy with joy.
Yun Jingheng and Ji Dongtang Jing Liuyue also presented their long-prepared birthday gifts.
As they did not know Master Khan's preferences, the three of them picked out the most expensive gifts.
The tea leaves are from a remote area but are difficult to buy, as well as a precious tea set, a jade that is hard to buy, or a painting that is both collectible and valuable. The banqueting hall was all resplendent with these precious birthday gifts.
Even Master Khan, who was not interested in all this, was moved.
Not to mention the crowd of guests, all of whom were watching with bated breath, watching their eyes fall out of their sockets.
The birthday party ended that evening.
After sending most of the guests in the ballroom away, Master Khan called out to Eloise.
"Eloise, Hector, you two couples wait."
Sweety, who was drowsy with her little head resting on her shoulder in Eloise's arms, turned back to her, "Grandpa, what's wrong?" "Why don't you and your family come and stay at home for the night and keep my old bones company."
Master Khan looked at her and Hector with a little hope in his eyes.
Eloise blinked and turned her head to ask Hector's opinion with her eyes.
The latter rubbed her head, the doting look in his eyes already saying it all.
Eloise didn't refuse and the family of four was about to ride straight up to the upper lord's car when.
Seeing this, Farabee and Devona's two families also hurriedly followed.
"Dad, Eloise, wait for us!"
Farabee shouted as she ran.
Master Khan stopped in his tracks and looked strangely at his two sons running over and asked, "What else is going on?"
Devona calmed his breathing and smilingly answered, "Isn't it your old man's birthday today? We are all going home to keep you company." "Yes, yes!"
Several others chimed in.
Elder Fang immediately snorted coldly, his face filled with an undisguised expression of disgust.
"No need for you guys to come. You're not even usually that attentive, so what's the point of going? Don't get in the way of me spending time with my granddaughter's family!" The two families were too embarrassed to follow them.
In the end, only Edgar's family drove along with them.
On the way back.
Master Khan changed from his full smile at the birthday banquet, his whole face looked helpless, "The family is lost."
Elder Fang sighed softly.
Clearly in disgrace for his two sons at the party and for the scandal they had just made.
Then to the Eloise duo, "Eloise, Hector, I've made you two laugh!"
"Why, Grandfather, you mustn't think too much of it."
Eloise reassured, then pulled away from the conversation.
Until the car pulled up in front of the Khan family mansion.
As soon as Eloise got out of the car, she saw an extremely quaint mansion come into view.
At first glance, she thought she was back in the Republican era.
Understated and luxurious.
