ed calm, but only Ma Chao knew that this was the most terrifying Yang Chen. Just listening to him continue: "Five years ago, Qin Xi, the first beauty and CEO of Jiangzhou, the chairman of Sanhe Group,...Chapter 5

Before he could even speak, Qin Xi had already snatched their daughter from Qin Mu's hands, her face filled with tears: "Mom, how many times have I told you She's still so young, don't scare her! Why do you keep doing this If there's ever a next time, I'm taking Xiaoxiao and moving out."

Mother Qin was deeply flustered and quickly said, "I was just trying to scare her, I didn't really mean to lock her up. All I want is for you to divorce this good-for-nothing as soon as possible, and everything will be fine."

Qin Xi ignored Qin Mu and instead looked at Wang Jian, her face full of sarcasm: "Young Master Wang, your family business is huge, I'm not worthy of you. Besides, I'm already married. Even if I wasn't, I wouldn't be with you. Besides... he's back, please don't bother our lives again, thank you!"

At this moment, Wang Jian's face was extremely ugly, but seeing Qin Xi's stunning beauty, he held back. Secretly, he thought to himself, "When I get you, I'll make you taste my power."

"Little Xi, how can you speak like that Xiao Wang has helped us so much for you, don't you know"

Qin's mother glared at Qin Xi and reprimanded her. Then, she turned to Wang Jian and said: "Xiao Wang, don't listen to her. In this family, you still have to listen to me."

Wang Jian smiled faintly: "Mother, please rest assured, I will definitely win Xiao Xi's heart with sincerity."

Yang Chen's expression grew cold as he dared to declare his intention to pursue the woman in front of him.

"As expected of the heir to the Wang family, look at his demeanor, it's something that some people can't even compare to."

"Our Xiao Xi is so beautiful. Only a young talent like Wang Shao would be the most suitable partner for her."

"Wang Shao, when you and Xiao Xi get married, I will definitely give you a big gift."

A crowd of relatives, chattering incessantly, showered Wang Jian with praise without any pretense, revealing their disdain for Yang Chen in their words and between the lines.

Qin Xi was also so angry that her whole body trembled. But everyone present were elders after all, she discreetly swept her gaze over Yang Chen, seeing him expressionless and silent, neither refuting nor showing anger, she felt even more disappointed in him.

If Yang Chen knew what Qin Xi was thinking, he would definitely be so upset that he would spit blood. The reason he kept silent was to avoid embarrassing Qin Xi.

At this time, the nanny successively brought the dishes to the table. Everyone was invited to the table by Qin's mother, except Yang Chen.

Yang Chen didn't know whether to leave or stay.

"Daddy, I want you to hold me while I eat."

Qin Xiaoxiao's spirited voice suddenly rang out, her bright and lively eyes sparkling. Her rosy little arms waved towards her father.

The moment his daughter's voice rang out, all anger vanished, especially when he heard the word "Daddy." His heart nearly melted.

But Qin's mother was relentless. She glared at the little girl and snapped, "Shut your mouth! He is not your father, your father died a long time ago."

Qin Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and was about to cry again.

"Mom!"

Qin Xi's voice was full of impatience. She picked her daughter up from her seat and said coldly, "Stay here!"

This sentence was obviously addressed to Yang Chen. Yang Chen gave her a grateful glance and quickly sat down.

"I want daddy to hold me!"

Cradled in her father's arms, the little girl was ecstatic. She curiously poked her father's ears and then touched his face, giggling with delight and pure happiness.

Seeing this scene, a trace of tenderness flashed in Qin Xi's eyes.

A group of people gathered around the dining table, not yet touching their chopsticks, when Wang Jian took out a very delicately packaged pink gift box and handed it to Qin Xiaoxiao: "This is Uncle Wang's birthday present for you. Happy birthday, Xiaoxiao!"

It turned out that today was his daughter's birthday. Thinking that he had already missed four years of his daughter's growth, Yang Chen felt a pang of guilt in his heart once again.

Qin Xiaoxiao shyly glanced at Wang Jian. After all, she was only four years old. She was still very happy to receive a gift and kept her eyes on the pink cartoon paper-wrapped small gift box.

Qin Xiaoxiao took the gift and said, "Thank you, Uncle Wang!"

Wang Jian grinned brightly: “Open it and see, do you like it”

The little girl was already curious about the pink box, and upon hearing Wang Jian's words, she eagerly opened the small gift box.

After opening the outer packaging, there was a delicate small box inside. When opened again, a dazzlingly bright bracelet was revealed.

"What a beautiful bracelet!"

My sister-in-law Qin Yi exclaimed in surprise, her face full of envy.

“After learning about Xiao Xiao's birthday, I specially asked my friend in Africa to buy a batch of rough diamonds from a large diamond mine. Then, I hired an internationally renowned jewelry master to customize a diamond bracelet for Xiao Xiao. There is only one such bracelet in the world.”

Wang Jian had a smug look on his face, and his words couldn't help but reveal the preciousness of this bracelet and his importance placed on Qin Xiaoxiao's birthday.

"It's a diamond bracelet, designed by an internationally renowned jewelry master, and it's custom-made. It must be worth over 100,000 at least"

Qin Yi's eyes were filled with little stars, wishing she could possess this bracelet.

Wang Jian wore a smug smile, leaned back comfortably, and said, "The diamonds themselves aren't that expensive. The main cost was hiring that jewelry master, which cost quite a bit, but not too much. All together, it came to about 600,000."

"600,000!"

Upon hearing the quote, all the relatives couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

"As expected of the eldest son of the Wang family, he's always so generous."

"The most important thing is to be good to Xiaoxiao. When Wang Shao becomes Xiaoxiao's father, Xiaoxiao's childhood will definitely be much happier."

"Yeah, Xiaoxiao is really lucky to have someone like Wang Shao as her father right away."

Relatives didn't care about Yang Chen's presence at all. Wang Jian, hearing these words, smiled even more and couldn't help but glance provocatively at Yang Chen.

Qin X's face was pale with shame. Although she was extremely disappointed in Yang Chen, she had never agreed to marry Wang Jian.

"Today is Xiaoxiao's birthday, you wouldn't even have a present prepared, would you"

At that moment, Qin Yi suddenly asked jokingly, all eyes turned to Yang Chen.

"Of course!" said Yang Chen.

Hearing her father's words, Xiaoxiao's face was full of anticipation. To her, no gift could compare to a present from her father.

Qin Mu frowned. Yang Chen came empty-handed, so if he was really prepared with a gift, where could he have put it

Others share the same idea too.

Under the gaze of everyone, Yang Chen casually took down a pendant he was wearing around his neck.

"Pfft!"

Qin Yi couldn't help but burst into laughter, her expression exaggerated as she said, "Yang Chen, is this the birthday present you prepared for your own daughter A rock full of cracks Did you pick it up on the roadside"

Yang Chen shook his head and responded honestly, "Found it on the Gobi Desert."

His words immediately caused a burst of laughter.

Qin Xi, who had just been holding a slight expectation for Yang Chen, instantly froze. This was the first time he accompanied his daughter on her birthday, and he actually only gave such a picked-up stone The most important thing is that the whole house is full of relatives, this is simply slapping her in the face.

Nobody knows, this very stone picked up from the Gobi Desert, once helped Yang Chen fend off several fatal attacks. Every crack is a profound memory of the past.

Only Qin Xiaoxiao, when she saw this pendant, couldn't help but like it. She raised her delicate little head and giggled: "Dad's gift, I like it so much, Dad, please put it on for Xiaoxiao."

Yang Chen's face was full of a gentle smile as he carefully put the pendant on his daughter.

Even though this jade-like stone is covered in cracks, it looks really beautiful when worn around Qin Xiaoxiao's neck. It seems like it was custom-made for her.

Because this was given by Yang Chen, no one would admit that this little stone is very valuable.

"A picked-up stone, what's so strange about it"

Qin Mu's face darkened, and she immediately turned to Qin Xi and said: "Quickly put on the bracelet Wang Shao gave you for Xiao Xiao. This way, some people will know the difference between heaven and earth."

While elevating Wang Jian, he also didn't forget to step on Yang Chen.

Just then, Yang Chen suddenly picked up the diamond-studded bracelet. He didn't even glance at it before tossing it into the trash can.

His actions made everyone gasp in shock. He actually threw away a diamond bracelet worth 600,000

"What are you doing" Qin's mother was furious.

Yang Chen frowned slightly: “This bracelet, worn for a long time, is not good for the body.”

"You farted!"

Wang Jian, who was always gentle and polite, saw Yang Chen throw the bracelet in public. He was instantly furious: "I spent so much effort to get this bracelet, it's not something you, a waste, can insult!"

Yang Chen looked at Wang Jian coldly and asked, "You said you spent 600,000 yuan on this bracelet inlaid with rubies"

Wang Jian angrily said, "What do you think is the problem"

If you really spent 600,000, then I can only say, you're a fool and have too much money!

Yang Chen let out a cold snort, not giving Wang Jian a chance to retort. He continued, "Red diamonds are the rarest kind of diamond, so rare that there's no fixed price for them. They're almost never seen in the diamond market. Only some high-profile auctions will feature them."

In 1987, a 95-carat red diamond sold at Sotheby's auction for $880,000, equivalent to $920,000 per carat. Converted to Japanese yen, it was worth over 60 million yen.

"And this bracelet of yours, at least 1.5 carats of diamonds, right Tell me how you managed to buy a red diamond bracelet for 600,000"

“This is not a natural red diamond at all, but an ordinary diamond that has been color-altered by irradiation treatment. This kind of diamond has very strong radioactivity. Wearing it for a long time will cause great harm to the body. You actually gave this heavily radiation-exceeding bracelet to a four-year-old girl. What is your intention”

Yang Chen's gaze was piercingly sharp, he fired off several soul-searching questions that left Wang Jian speechless in an instant. The entire room fell silent, everyone's eyes focused on Wang Jian. Qin Xi's expression also turned extremely gloomy. unpleasantly, "You're being unreasonable. Our shop makes coffins for the dead, not the living. We don't do business like that."Even a stranger couldn't stand it anymore. Qin Fei raised an eyebrow: "Y...
