Back Then, the Old Madam’s 70th Birthday Din Not Seem So Important

Qiao Nian looked at the time and then went to take a shower.

Anyway, she and Nan Tianyi had agreed to meet at 11:30. It was only 9:50 now. After taking a shower, she could look at the detailed information about the experiment Shi Fu had entrusted her. She would leave at around 11:00. The timing was just right.

At the Shen Family.

Old Madam Shen woke up early in the morning, changed her clothes, and did her hair. Many people came in and out of the house.

Father and Mother Shen were not invited. They were a little dumbfounded when they saw how much Old Madam Shen valued this afternoon’s lunch.

Back then, the old lady’s 70th birthday did not seem to be so important. They saw the old lady take out a set of jade jewelry and put it on with their own eyes. She even nagged at Shen Qingfeng, “What do you think? Miss Qiao won’t think that I’m flashy, right?”

Shen Qingfeng accompanied the old lady helplessly. Hearing this, he pressed her shoulder from behind and comforted her with a smile. “Grandma, she won’t. Qiao Nian doesn’t care about trifles. She won’t care about these things.”

“She doesn’t care. That’s because she has a good upbringing.”

His Grandma was always on Qiao Nian’s side. Shen Qingfeng was speechless.

“Miss Qiao kindly invited an old woman like me to broaden my horizons. We can’t embarrass her.” Old Madam Shen looked at herself in the mirror and thought for a moment before taking off the complicated jade jewelry. Only a necklace with jade beads was left on her neck. It was very appropriate and solemn. “Alright, I’ll go with this. Qingfeng, what about you? Are you ready?”

Shen Qingfeng looked down at his clothes and then looked at his Grandma innocently. “Can’t I wear this?”

Old Madam Shen saw that he was dressed in casual home clothes. He was gentle and refined and looked pretty good.

She had wanted to ask him to change into a formal suit, but thinking of Qiao Nian’s personality from Shen Qingfeng’s account, she decided not to. “You can wear this.” Then, she impatiently asked Father Shen, “Is the gift I asked you to prepare for Miss Qiao ready?”

Father Shen’s heart thumped. “Mom, are you sure you want to give the Shen Family’s assets to that Miss Qiao? Isn’t it too extravagant to be given away to an outsider?”

The gift that Old Madam Shen prepared this time was not an ordinary item. It was an industrial chain of the Shen Family in the independent continent.

This was much more practical than diamonds and gold.

She was too generous.

Father Shen was very confused. “Our family spent a lot of effort to build this industrial chain, and you’re giving it away just like this?”

“Just do as I say.” Old Madam Shen still had her dignity. Her hair was silver, but her eyes were extremely sharp. She smiled with a gentle expression. “I’m doing this to pave the way for the Shen Family and Qingfeng. It’s fine if you don’t understand. Just do as I say.”

Father Shen was used to listening to Old Madam Shen’s arrangements. Although he had thousands of questions in his heart, he still followed her order obediently.

After a while, he handed a box to Old Madam Shen.

Old Madam Shen did not waste any time. She looked at the time and said to Shen Qingfeng, “Qingfeng, let’s go an hour early.”

“Miss Qiao invited us. We should go a little earlier in order to show our respect. Perhaps we can help out.”
