Kangcheng, Jingyulan Bay.

The black Mercedes-Benz S350 quietly parked in front of an independent three-story villa. The driver who acted as a bodyguard quickly got out of the car, first opened the door for the two passengers in the rear seats, and then opened the trunk.

The trunk is filled with various exquisitely packaged gifts.

Mu Xiaochu and Mu Xixi got out of the car together and walked into the villa hall with light steps.

Although it was already past ten o’clock in the evening, the hall was still brightly lit, and a huge crystal lamp hung from the ceiling, illuminating the entire living room.

Seven or eight men and women sat on the leather sofa, and there were several people standing aside. They surrounded the middle-aged woman sitting in the main seat like stars arching the moon. The atmosphere of talking and laughing was lively.

This middle-aged woman is in her forties. Because she is well maintained, she looks in her early thirties. Her custom-made Prada clothes set off her beautiful and smart temperament, and her appearance is 60 or 70% similar to Mu Xiaochu.

“Mom…”

Mu Xiaochu, who had just come in, first greeted her: “I’m back.”

Mu Xixi became much more well-behaved when she got here: “Auntie, are you not resting yet?”

The middle-aged woman stood up, grabbed Mu Xiaochu’s hand naturally, and asked with a smile: “How is it? Are you having fun with Qianxi and the others tonight?”

This is Mu Xiaochu’s mother Xia Qin, and is also the helmsman of Kangcheng Mu’s Group.

As for the others sitting in the living room, they are basically relatives of the Mu family, uncles, aunts, and Mu Xiaochu’s cousin.

Today is Mu Xiaochu’s 18th birthday. During the day, her family also held a birthday party for her. Many relatives came here to celebrate.

Since Xia Qin’s elder brother began to rise to the top in politics five years ago, the original Mu’s company has changed its head and quickly upgraded to a large group. Similar scenarios will occur every year.

Mu Xiaochu smiled and said, “I’m very happy. By the way, Brother Qi left in advance, so I’ll tell you.”

Xia Qin nodded, “It’s okay… Huh?”

She pointed to the lanyard on Mu Xiaochu’s neck and asked, “What is this?”

Mu Xiaochu never wears jewelry, so she, the mother, noticed it and asked curiously.

“Uh…”

Mu Xiaochu touched the lanyard with a little uneasy and said, “I wear the birthday gift from my classmate, I’m playing with it.”

Classmate? Wear it and play?

Xia Qin was so smart that she could see her daughter’s guilt at first glance, and she suddenly felt something was wrong.

In the past, including today’s birthday, relatives and friends gave Mu Xiaochu a lot of jewelry, including valuable brand diamond necklaces, but after Mu Xiaochu accepted them, they all left it alone.

Her reason is very simple. As a student and the class monitor, it is not appropriate to wear jewelry to school.

However, Mu Xiaochu has worn a necklace for the first time, and the grade of this lanyard looks very low, and it is estimated that the pendant is not a good product.

Then the question arises, what made her change her original intention?

Xia Qin couldn’t help but have a lot of thoughts.

Under her bright eyes, Mu Xiaochu bit her lip, and took off the monkey jade pendant without being willing to, and handed it to her, the always strong mother.

“Huh?”

Xia Qin had just taken the jade pendant, and a tall and thin man in his thirties next to him sneered: “Is this a messy jade? Such a poor quality jade, I’m so embarrassed to give it to us Xiaochu as a birthday gift, right?”

This is Mu Xiaochu’s uncle Mu Hongshen, a famous slut in the Mu family. He spends all day outside, and hangs with a group of friends, living a life of luxury and music every day.

Today he was rare to stay at home. When he saw Mu Xiaochu take out the monkey jade pendant, he came over and took a look.

One of Mu Hongshen’s big preference is to play with jade, and he was quite fascinated by it. Although he lost a lot of money in jade collection, he still had basic identification eyesight: “It’s just a carving worker who will still pay.”

More than just a pledge!

Xia Qin also understands jade, and her eyesight is more clever than her brother-in-law. The carving of this spiritual monkey jade pendant is definitely master-level. The cute little monkey is carved vividly, especially the pair of eyes are vivid, and even she feels a little fond of her.

And such a brilliant carving work is actually used on a piece of miscellaneous jade, which is really speechless.

What surprised Xia Qin even more was that when she held the jade pendant, she clearly felt a warm and cool breath coming out of the jade pendant, which made her feel very comfortable to seep into her body.

Even the top-quality white jade with mutton fat does not have such a touch!

Xia Qin was a little stunned.

Mu Xiaochu gently pushed her hand: “Mom?”

When he took out the monkey jade pendant for Xia Qin, Mu Xiaochu felt a strong reluctance, as if he had taken out part of his body, feeling lost.
