The Strongest Urban Son-in-law

Chapter 401: Chapter 400 Gifts

In no time at all, Gao Zhixiang followed Gao Tianshou into the study. Gao Zhixiang curiously looked at Gao Tianshou and asked, ”Grandpa, did you call me here alone because you have something to tell me?”

Gao Tianshou asked indifferently, ”When did you break through to the Half-step Grandmaster level?”

Gao Zhixiang replied, ”Just a few days ago, I achieved the Half-step Grandmaster level.”

”Oh?” Gao Tianshou frowned slightly, surprised in his heart. ”I remember you had only reached Great Perfection of Inner Strength not long ago, and now you’ve already attained the realm of Half-step Grandmaster. If I’m not mistaken, it must have been that friend of yours who helped you, right?”

Gao Zhixiang chuckled, ”You really can’t hide anything from Grandpa. Indeed, it was the boss who helped me reach the Half-step Grandmaster level.” After hearing Gao Zhixiang’s words, Gao Tianshou nodded, seemingly contemplating something.

”Alright, go and entertain your friend. It’s his first time visiting our Gao Family. Don’t lose our courtesy,” Gao Tianshou said to Gao Zhixiang, without asking any more questions.

Gao Zhixiang was surprised. ”Grandpa, aren’t you going to ask how the boss helped me reach my current realm?”

Gao Tianshou smiled slightly, looking at Gao Zhixiang, ”If I asked, would you tell me?”

Gao Zhixiang, with an embarrassed face, shook his head. ”No...”

”Then there you have it. When you want to tell me, you will naturally do so. Your aura is robust and stable. It must not have been through any improper means that you’ve broken through. I’m relieved,” Gao Tianshou said.

Gao Zhixiang nodded. ”Well, Grandpa, I’ll be leaving then...”

”Go ahead,” Gao Tianshou nodded, and then Gao Zhixiang left the study. Just as Gao Zhixiang left, an elderly woman came out, her gaze sharp, exuding a noble temperament and the imposing dignity of a superior.

This elderly woman was none other than Ye Feng’s grandmother, Gao Tianshou’s wife, Zhou Shuyun.

Zhou Shuyun, although not a Martial Artist herself, radiated with vitality and appeared very young, not at all like someone over seventy years old.

Gao Tianshou looked at Zhou Shuyun and asked, ”What do you think about Zhixiang and his friend?”

Zhou Shuyun said, ”That Ye Feng should be investigated first. To have such strength at a young age, either he is from a Hidden Family or he has encountered some kind of opportunity. Hence, he has his current achievements. Whether the former or the latter, we should cultivate a good relationship. If it’s the latter, we can try to recruit him into the Gao Family.”

Gao Tianshou nodded. ”You understand me well. That’s what I was thinking, too. What if that young fellow doesn’t want to join us?”

Zhou Shuyun said coldly, ”If he’s unwilling, then find a way to dig out his secrets. It’s impossible for someone so young and so strong to have achieved all this with just ordinary cultivation methods!”

”Hmm, let’s just wait and see...” Gao Tianshou nodded.

After that slight interlude, the birthday banquet returned to its course. When it came to dinnertime, everyone gathered happily together. At dinner time, Gao Zhixiang, Gao Ningning, and Zhou Biao, Fang Yuan and Zhang Hang sat together with Ye Feng. At that moment, the host walked onto the makeshift stage.

”Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Miss Gao Ningning’s birthday party. I hope everyone can have a pleasant time today, just like at your own home. Before that, we have a gift-presenting session. Let us see what gifts Miss Gao Ningning has received!” the host announced loudly.

Upon hearing the host’s words, Zhou Biao and the others were filled with anticipation, curious about what kind of gifts a daughter of a wealthy family would receive on her birthday.

At that moment, the host began to announce, ”President Liang from Lin Yu Company has sent a Lamborghini!”

”Sss!” At the very first gift, Zhou Biao and the others already gasped in surprise.

A luxury sports car worth millions was casually gifted, astonishing them.

However, Gao Ningning remained calm. Super sports cars, the Gao Family had countless, and she was no longer impressed by such things.

”President Yu from Haiming Group has sent an Emperor Green jade bracelet!”

”Emperor Green!” Suddenly, everyone in the venue was stunned, all looking at President Yu in amazement. Everyone knew that an Emperor Green jade bracelet was worth even more than a Lamborghini.

”President Wu has sent...” the host kept reading, and everyone got numb to all the opulence.

Zhou Biao and the others envied, ”Now I finally understand why rich people love their birthdays. Just receiving gifts for a birthday can amount to valuables worth several billion. We ordinary folks can’t compare.”

Zhang Hang and the others nodded helplessly, thinking of the gifts they prepared for Gao Ningning, which were mere trinkets worth a few hundred dollars, utterly insignificant compared to what these executives had brought.

Finally, the host wrapped up the list of gifts, but just then, Gao Zhiyuan stepped onto the stage.

Gao Zhiyuan, holding a microphone, looked towards Ye Feng and Gao Ningning, ”Ningning, you should thank President Yu, President Wu, and others. They were all invited by your brother to attend your birthday party, and they’ve given you a lot of face.”

Gao Ningning smiled faintly, nodding with elegance and generosity: ”Thank you, uncles, for your gifts. I like them very much. I appreciate your thoughtfulness.”

The crowd responded, ”Of course, of course. It’s only right to celebrate the niece’s birthday well.”

At that moment, Gao Zhiyuan looked at Ye Feng and the others and said, ”Ningning, the guests I invited have already given their gifts, but I wonder what your friends have given you? They were invited by you. Surely they haven’t come empty-handed?”

Upon hearing Gao Zhiyuan’s words, Zhou Biao and the others were stunned, their faces showing embarrassment.

How could they possibly not have prepared gifts for Gao Ningning’s birthday?

Zhang Yuan, Zhou Biao, and Fang Yuan had pooled their money to buy Gao Ningning a necklace worth over a thousand, averaging just a few hundred dollars per person. Currently, they were holding onto the necklace, too embarrassed to present it.

”Brother, it’s enough for me that they could come. I’m really happy. My purpose in celebrating my birthday is to be with friends, to have a good time together, not for the gifts!” Gao Ningning said, frowning.
