Chapter 1020: Chapter 1020: Could It Be Inferior? (100)

A rural girl, what makes her so deserving?

Being recognized by the Su Family isn’t much to say; that’s just good fortune.

But who could have imagined the girl’s luck would be this good.

First, she saved Mr. Zhou’s life, making him publicly stand by her and acknowledge her as his granddaughter.

And now, another esteemed guest has arrived, Mr. Qian.

Some people might not have recognized Mr. Zhou when he arrived, but anyone unacquainted with this old man is truly uninformed.

Even the waiters at Taoran Inn know that this unassuming old man is the most trusted confidant of the big boss, and the only one who dares to argue with him.

It’s said that he has so many medals, there’s hardly room to hang them.

This man has always been very low-key, never attending such banquets, not even state events unless he felt like it.

Yet, unexpectedly, he showed up today.

Not only did he show up, but he’s been endlessly apologizing to a little girl for being late.

This is truly bizarre!

What kind of charm does Gu Lingling possess to attract so many big-shots to her?

"Hand it over." Just as everyone was astonished, Mr. Zhou reached out a hand to Mr. Qian and uttered two words.

Hand it over?

Hand over what?

Everyone was puzzled.

"Haha, you old Zhou," Mr. Qian laughed heartily, "Where’s your stuff? Don’t think you can fleece me, let me have a look."

"My things are naturally the best." Mr. Zhou glanced at him, "How could the gift from me, Old Zhou, to my family’s Lingling be anything less? You, Old Qian, really underestimate me."

"Why say so much? If it’s good, just show it to us," Mr. Qian pushed his hand aside and sat down beside Lingling, "Old Su, long time no see."

It has been a long time.

But he never expected to meet Mr. Qian here, and in this manner.

"This old thing," Mr. Zhou chuckled and sat beside Gu Lingling as well.

Thus, Yang Yunhai silently found himself edged several seats away.

Feeling exasperated, he wished he could kick all these people out; what to do?

Yang Yunhai felt a surge of raw power within him, threatening to burst through his veins if not suppressed.

"Come, Lingling, this is a treasure Grandpa has cherished for many years, and now I pass it to you," Mr. Zhou said with a cheerful gaze.

Afar, Zhou Mei, although not knowing what Mr. Zhou was saying, could tell from his demeanor he was about to give something good, and subconsciously stood up.

If not held down by the person beside her, she surely would have dashed forward.

Those items are hers!

Why should they go to some little girl?

Zhou Mei’s eyes practically spewed fire as she watched Mr. Zhou pull a velvet pouch from his pocket.

She had seen this velvet pouch before; it was dearly valued by Mr. Zhou, kept away from her reach.

Zhou Mei was nearly driven mad with jealousy.

Anything treasured by Mr. Zhou must be precious; how could it be given so easily to the lowly Gu Lingling, this wasn’t right.

"Zhou Mei." Someone quietly pulled her aside, "Everyone’s watching."

This person was close to Zhou Mei and naturally understood her thoughts upon seeing her expression.

Anyone would be upset, not just Zhou Mei.

Since Mr. Zhou’s possessions were essentially Zhou Family’s, could possibly become Zhou Mei’s in the future.

Giving it away to an outsider like this is simply... 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
