Chapter 484: A Small Gift

"I'm sorry, Elder Bai." Long Shen bowed his head. The best thing he could do was to apologize. How could he be this foolish in bringing a fake jade to them?

I need to salvage the situation.

He needed to recover as much as possible. He realized he messed up by questioning them.

"You don't need to worry about it. Just go back down." Bai Geming said calmly. He could have said it in a worse way.

But Long Shen brought him a gift. The least he could do was to give him this last piece of face by leaving.

"..I understand." Long Shen didn't talk as he walked away from Bai Geming. Each step he took was full of shame and embarrassment. He had to walk over to Liu Dingxiang and Meng Guang.

"Father, I-" "Save it. There's nothing you can say." Liu Dingxiang didn't want to hear any excuses from him. He glared,

"Return home. I don't want to hear it." He didn't want to look at his face anymore.

"Fei Fei, take him home." Liu Dingxiang glared at Liu Fei Fei.

"Mother!" Liu Fei Fei looked at Meng Guang, pleading for her help. But Meng Guang looked away too. She was angry with what Long Shen did too.

...

"Hmpf." Bai Geming groaned. He almost forgot about Lu Chen. He was only standing there on the side.

Huang Mingyue looked at him too. There was a sense of excitement in his eyes as he stared at the box. The pendant!

"I've only brought a small gift for you, Elder Bai." Lu Chen calmly said as he gave his gift to him. There was still a tense atmosphere with Long Shen's gift.

Now everyone was wondering what Lu Chen brought for Bai Geming.

But Bai Geming shook his head, "Young master Lu, I can't accept your gift."

Huh?! Not accept his gift? Isn't this worse than Long Shen?

"Can I ask why?" Lu Chen frowned. But Bai Geming explained,

"Don't take this the wrong way. I don't deserve your gift after what my son and grandson tried to do to you. I want you to keep it." Bai Geming wasn't mad at Lu Chen for what he did.

If Lu Chen didn't nip it in the bud, Liao Yan might have caused even more problems for their family.

"...I understand." Lu Chen said with a sigh. Since the elder spoke, he couldn't say anything. At least he became acquainted with Bai Xiaoqing.

"Good." Bai Geming smiled. But Huang Muyang roared,

"Have you gone mad, you damn senile fool! Do you even know what this child brought for you?!" He couldn't contain his anger.

That shout from Huang Muyang caused everyone to jolt.

"Why are you getting angry?!" Bai Geming looked at his friend as if he was crazy.

"Do you think the kid would bring a knockoff like the other one?! The kid brought you a jade from the Qin Dynasty!" Huang Muyang groaned as he grabbed his head.

You're the one who's crazy!

A shock went through the venue again

"..." What? Jade from the Qin dynasty? The crowd knew about Bai Geming's love for jade. That's why he sent Long Shen away when he questioned him.

And he just returned it to the child.

Everyone turned to Bai Geming. And the latter's face was in pure shock and disbelief.

A Qin Dynasty jade?

He turned to Lu Chen,

"Young master Lu, is what he said true?"

Lu Chen nodded, "I've heard that Elder Bai was interested in jade. So I thought about handing it to you on your birthday. I've already authenticated it with an antiquary and a jeweler." Lu Chen had the paper inside the bag and showed it to Bai Geming.

Looking at the papers, Bai Geming looked up at Lu Chen,

"...May I see it?"
