C148 The Gift Was Broken by Me

In the blink of an eye, it was already the weekend. In the evening, Gu Qinian brought Ye Tian to the suburbs.

Soong Lan's birthday banquet this year was arranged in a winehouse in the suburbs. The environment was beautiful, and the castle was very elegant.

Because it was winter, the banquet was arranged indoors. Even so, it was still luxurious.

Ye Tian walked in and found that the banquet hall inside the castle was quite large. It was as big as the outside, and there was even an indoor swimming pool. The surface of the water reflected the colorful lights, and it was very beautiful.

She could not help but be a little surprised, but she quickly got used to it.

After all, the Gu family was the number one wealthy family in Ann City. This kind of extravagant banquet was just a small matter.

When she walked in with Gu Qinian, she immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Of course, it included Ye Ziyan and Gu Qiyue.

At this moment, Ye Ziyan had already arrived. She was with Ye Yongcheng, who was busy trying to please Gu Sheng. Ye Ziyan, on the other hand, was trying to please Soong Lan with a cute look.

Seeing Ye Tian and Gu Qinian appear together, a gloomy look flashed across Ye Ziyan's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Gu Qinian originally wanted to bring Ye Tian to give his mother a present, but seeing that Gu Sheng was waving at him, he could only turn his head to look at her.

"Dad asked me to go first."

Ye Tian nodded. Seeing Gu Qinian leave, she took a deep breath and looked around the crowd. Seeing that Soong Lan was chatting with her friends, she walked over.

However, before she could take two steps, Gu Qiyue suddenly came over and blocked her path with a fake smile.

"What are you doing here?"

Seeing her arrogant look, Ye Tian was too lazy to pretend to be intimate with her. She asked indifferently, "Of course I'm here to attend the birthday banquet. Is there anything you need?"

A trace of disdain appeared between Gu Qiyue's brows as she sized her up.

"You? Forget it. My mom doesn't want to see you at all. She gets angry the moment she sees you. Your appearance will only make her unhappy, so I kindly advise you to leave if you know what's good for you. Don't embarrass yourself here."

Ye Tian didn't mind what she said since she already knew that she didn't have any good words. She just raised her eyebrows indifferently.

"You don't need to worry about that. No matter how much my mom doesn't like me, I will lose my manners if I don't come. Don't worry. After I give her a present, if she doesn't want to see me, I won't dawdle in front of her."

Since she didn't want to see her, then she might as well not see her.

However, Gu Qiyue didn't give up. She seemed to be deliberately looking for trouble with her.

"Give me a present? What kind of gift can you give me with such a condition?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she looked down and saw the exquisite velvet box in Ye Tian's hand. She immediately snatched it away.

Ye Tian did not expect her to directly snatch it, so she was caught off guard. When she reacted, she saw that Gu Qiyue had already opened the box.

Seeing the jade pendant inside, her initial mockery instantly disappeared, and her eyebrows knitted tightly together.

"Ye Tian, where did you get the money from? Are you worthy of buying such a good thing?"

Ye Tian looked back coldly and opened her hand. "It's none of your business. Give it back to me."

Gu Qiyue, on the other hand, took out the jade pendant and examined it in her hand. Then, she sneered in disdain.

"I know. It must be my brother who paid for it, right? Heh, you really are putting on a front and a back. You look like you have no desires in front of others, but in reality, you're just pretending to be aloof. But what about in front of others? My brother bought you a necklace and a present, and you actually enjoy it."

Ye Tian was too lazy to talk nonsense with her. She reached out her hand to take it back. "Give it back to me."

"Hey, what are you in such a hurry for?"

Gu Qiyue shrank back and looked at her provocatively. Her eyes were filled with ridicule.

"It's just a pendant. Although it looks good, it's nothing more than that. My mom won't like it. It's fine if you give it back to me."

As she spoke, she reached out her hand to return it to her, but stopped at the tip of her finger.

"However, I still have to tell you that no matter what you give me, my mom won't like it. So, since it's something that my mom doesn't like, there's no need for it to exist."

With that, she suddenly let go of her hand and the jade pendant fell from her fingertips.

When Ye Tian saw her eyes, she already knew that things were not going well. However, just as she was about to reach out to take it back, she saw the jade pendant fall to the ground and instantly split into two pieces.

Ye Tian's brows furrowed as she looked at the broken jade pendant on the ground. A wave of anger immediately rose up in her heart.

Gu Qiyue was very satisfied when she saw this. Her eyes were filled with ridicule.

"Ye Tian, don't think that just because you married my brother, you can be the Young Madam of the Gu family. You are just like this piece of jade. Sooner or later, you will divorce my brother and be kicked out of the Gu family!"

After saying that, she glanced at her proudly and turned to leave.

Ye Tian clenched her teeth and stared at her back.

There were many people here, and it was the birthday banquet of the Gu family. She couldn't say anything to Gu Qiyue in front of everyone because no matter what reaction she had, it would be magnified and smeared black by others.

Furthermore, she didn't expect Gu Qiyue to be so childish as to destroy the present.

However, although it was childish, it was very effective.

She knew her own limits and knew that Soong Lan didn't like her, so she was especially careful when picking out the present.

She thought that it would be fine as long as she sent it out. No matter whether Soong Lan liked her or not, she would do what she had to do. However, she couldn't find anything wrong with it.

She picked up the broken jade pieces on the ground and felt both regret and anger in her heart.

If it was an ordinary person, she would have taught them a lesson a long time ago. However, it was the Gu family people, so she couldn't do anything to them.

Just as she was thinking about what to do, she suddenly heard Gu Qiyue call out to her, "Sister-in-law, come here quickly. Let us see what gift you have prepared for Mom!"

She looked up and saw Gu Qiyue and Ye Ziyan standing beside Soong Lan.

Ye Ziyan's attitude was extremely natural, as if she was the daughter-in-law of Soong Lan, while Gu Qiyue looked like she was watching a good show.

As for Soong Lan, she held up her attitude and glanced at her indifferently, not even giving her a smile.

On the side, a portion of the guests noticed the strange atmosphere here and looked over.

Ye Tian knew that Gu Qiyue had purposely put on a show, but she couldn't leave. She could only brace herself and walk forward.

"Mom, happy birthday."

She congratulated her in a low voice, and her attitude was still considered generous.

However, Soong Lan didn't react to it at all. She only replied indifferently, "En."

Gu Qiyue was very happy about this. She deliberately asked again, "Sister-in-law, what good thing are you holding in your hand? Why don't you show us what the gift is!"

She was clearly trying to make Soong Lan scold her in front of everyone so that she would make a fool of herself.

Ye Tian clenched the box in her hand tightly as her mind spun rapidly, thinking of a way to deal with it.

At this moment, Gu Qinian's cold voice came from behind her.

“Mom, I’m sorry, the gift was broken on the way here.”
