Chapter 346: Chapter 346: Huang Xiaolong’s Gift
This birthday gift-giving segment thrust the luncheon into a climactic stage.

The guests began to compete and flaunt their wealth.

Moreover, the young talents present knew that this was evidently a matchmaking event, and whoever gave the most precious gift to Shu Qinghan could take the lead in this love contest.

Love is a battlefield! Nobody was willing to admit defeat!

Although Shu Qinghan might not hold a particularly important position in the Shu Family, for these young talents, having any connection with the Shu Family, one of Binhai’s four major families, had profound meaning for expanding their social network and future development!

Moreover, Shu Qinghan was a top-rated beauty!

All the single men in the room were drawn to her!

Father Shu and Mother Shu quietly observed, waiting to see which young man’s gift was more valuable and closer to their hearts!

Song Yuru stood beside Shu Qinghan. As close as sisters, she was the first to hand over her gift, giving it to Shu Qinghan with a smile. “Happy birthday, Qinghan.”

Shu Qinghan delightedly accepted it and upon opening it, discovered a pair of exquisite earrings, “Yuru! Thank you! I love it!”

This gift already exhausted all of Song Yuru’s savings. However, to the other guests present, it seemed considerably humble.

Some even mocked aloud, “Tsk, tsk… Giving such cheap trinkets as gifts.. isn’t that embarrassing? How can Qinghan have such a poor friend… It’s really beneath her…”

Song Yuru’s face reddened slightly, Shu Qinghan gripped her hand, and whispered, “Good sister, do not listen to them. The gift you gave me is my favorite!”

While talking, Shu Qinghan glanced at Huang Xiaolong with the corner of her eye, a strong sense of anticipation arising in her. She thought to herself, ‘I wonder if Little Long is going to give me a gift… Even if Little Long was willing to give me a simple stone, it would make me so happy…’

Huang Xiaolong watched the others clamor to present their gifts with a contemptuous smile on his face.

The gifts were quite lavish.

Limited edition watches, luxury cars, gold and silver jewellery, private custom cosmetic products…

All these dazzling gifts left people’s eyes spinning. Mother Shu and Father Shu also kept nodding with smiles on their faces.

However, Shu Qinghan showed no interest in these gifts. Even for a car key to a luxury car worth millions, she just gave it a quick glance before passing it to the servant by her side.

Shu Qinglan, watching from the side, was happy for her sister Qinghan who had received so many gifts, as it showed how popular she was.

However, there was a hint of loss hidden deep within Shu Qinglan’s eyes.

Indeed, she felt quite dejected. Today was her birthday too, and although there were so many guests and they brought so many gifts, no one had wished her a happy birthday.

No one had prepared a birthday gift for her!

Shu Qinglan felt rather bitter. She wanted to cry, but she held back the tears. She thought to herself, ‘Who would want to give a birthday gift to someone like me? Don’t delude yourself, Shu Qinglan. You will never get a birthday gift in this lifetime!’

The gift-giving was gradually drawing to a close.

At this time, a very refined young man, probably in his late twenties, approached Shu Qinghan directly, a trace of undisguised affection in his eyes.

This man was dressed appropriately, handsome, with his every movement demonstrating good upbringing, making the other talents present pale in comparison!

“Miss Qinghan, this is the first time we meet, here is a birthday gift for you. The gift may not be significant, but the thought counts. I hope you will like it.” The man spoke in a refined and courteous manner. “I hope that Miss Qinghan will have the opportunity to visit Jiangnan City when you are free. I would like to extend my hospitality.”

“Hahaha… Zihuan, you’re too polite! We’re so pleased that you could come to Binhai to attend Qinghan’s birthday party. Qinghan also really appreciates it. Don’t worry, when she’s free, Qinghan will definitely visit Jiangnan City.” Father Shu laughed heartily, it was apparent that he was very satisfied with this man called ‘Zihuan’.

Chen Zihuan, the young master of the Chen Family, the most prominent and oldest family in Jiangnan City!

In Jiangnan City, Chen Zihuan’s status was equivalent to the Four Less of Binhai!

The Chen family had a solid foundation in Jiangnan City, and their family was flourishing – vaguely acknowledged as the number one family in Jiangnan City!

Moreover, it was rumored that the Chen family had close ties with a large family in Beijing, and in Jiangnan City, no one dared to provoke them!

The Chen family’s business ventures were extensive, primarily focusing on the shipping industry, owning dozens of ocean-going freighters. Besides the South Korean and Japanese routes, their business also spread across the continents of Europe and America, booming like wildfire!

Chen Zihuan’s purpose for coming to Binhai was to win over Shu Qinghan! His intention was to form an alliance between Jiangnan’s Chen family and Binhai’s Shu family!

This was a marriage alliance with far-reaching implications!

Indeed, even though the Chen family almost ruled Jiangnan City, their business had not yet expanded to Binhai. After all, the four major families of Binhai held firm control over the city, never giving Chen family, this giant from Jiangnan, any chance of a foothold.

This occasion where Shu Qinghan was choosing a future husband was a golden opportunity for the Chen family!

Before Chen Zihuan came to Binhai, the Chen Family Head had a lengthy talk with him for an entire hour, and made Chen Zihuan to make a military oath!

He must not return from Binhai empty-handed! He must win over Shu Qinghan!

“Hahaha~~~good, good, a young hero!” Father Shu continually nodded his head at Chen Zihuan and repeatedly signaled to Mother Shu.

The subtext was…’I have chosen for Qinghan! This is Qinghan’s future husband!’

Chen Zihuan smiled gracefully, making people feel like they were being bathed in the spring breeze. “Qinghan, I came over in a hurry this time and didn’t get the chance to prepare any decent gifts. Hmm~~~our Chen Family, has secured a piece of premium property in Jiangnan City in recent years. Qinghan, here is the property rights certificate of a shop…”

As he said this, Chen Zihuan snapped his fingers. An old man dressed like a butler approached them and handed him a certificate. “Young master.”

Chen Zihuan took the property rights certificate and smilingly handed it to Shu Qinghan. “Qinghan, although it’s just a shop, the possession area is probably about 100~200 square meters. You’re still in university, right? Now, you can be a relaxed landlord.”

Upon hearing these words, the local young elites of Binhai couldn’t help but feel a bit bitter, while also shaking their heads helplessly.

Jiangnan City, with its prosperity, is slightly ahead of Binhai.

In Jiangnan City, the price of a shop in the best location can exceed 200,000 per square meter. Now, Chen Zihuan is giving Shu Qinghan a shop— the property that spans 100~200 square meters. This is equivalent to giving Shu Qinghan tens of millions worth of real estate!

Such a display of wealth was simply extravagant! A show of great wealth!

Moreover, given the speed of development in Jiangnan City, the shop had a significant potential for appreciation. Just like Chen Zihuan said, just by renting out the shop, Shu Qinghan would be able to sit calmly at home and collect quite a bit of rent every month!

Such a birthday gift made all the other gifts look dull in comparison!

“This~~~” Shu Qinghan was taken aback, thought for a few seconds, and prepared to reject it!

She dared not accept such an expensive gift!

What’s more, this was the first time she had met Chen Zihuan!

If she accepted his shop, wouldn’t that mean she’d have to be his fiancée?

Shu Qinghan subconsciously looked at Huang Xiaolong and a voice appeared in her mind…’I don’t want his shop, I don’t want to marry into Jiangnan City…’

Unexpectedly, Father Shu, hurriedly received the property right certificate on behalf of Shu Qinghan, and kept expressing his gratitude.

“Uncle, you’re too kind. It’s just a little gift. I’m almost embarrassed to give it.” Chen Zihuan feigned modesty.

A little gift? Too embarrassed to give it out?

A shop with hundreds of square meters!

A thing worth tens of millions!

Is this still a little gift?

This guy… is really good at showing off!

At this point, the gift-giving session was declared over.

“Alright, thanks to everyone’s generosity, Qinghan has received many priceless gifts today!” Father Shu thanked everyone politely.

Just then…

“Erm~~wait… I haven’t given my gift yet.” Huang Xiaolong said nonchalantly.

Everyone’s gaze fell upon Huang Xiaolong.

However, seeing Huang Xiaolong’s ordinary, even by rich people’s standard, cheap attire, these people had a look of disdain in their eyes.

A thought surged up in everyone’s mind—just how could someone like you present a respectable gift to Qinghan? You’re only here to make a fool of yourself!

“Little Long!” Shu Qinghan’s spirits lifted, her face blossoming with a smile. “You…you…you prepared a gift for me?”

Earlier, when Shu Qinghan saw Huang Xiaolong not taking out a gift, she thought Huang Xiaolong might not have prepared a gift for her coming today. It made her feel a kind of heartbreaking disappointment. But now, Huang Xiaolong personally said, he had prepared a birthday gift for Shu Qinghan.

The cloud under Shu Qinghan’s heart was swept away!

She was happy from head to toe! A joy from the bottom of her heart!

“Oh?” Chen Zihuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking towards Huang Xiaolong. However, there was some hostility in his gaze!
