If it wasn't for Secretary Li's reminder, An Nuo didn't know that Mr. Mo's birthday was approaching, and when he brought it up, An Nuo began to think about what to give.

The old man has everything, and has recently retired honorably, so it might be better to send something light and entertaining.

An Nuo began to look at fishing gear and chess. After looking at it for a while, he saw a chess set inlaid with gold and jade. The jadeite was pure, the chess pieces were polished finely, and the chess box was made of pure handmade high-quality leather with a combination lock.

There are 32 chess pieces, each of which is [-] pieces, so gifts should be enough.

After negotiating the price with the seller, An Nuo paid the deposit with a credit card. Feeling sleepy, he yawned and fell asleep. Seeing this, Mo Shenghuan put down the documents in his hand, walked over and took out a silk eye mask from his bag .

An Nuo raised her eyes in amazement, she didn't expect her uncle to even consider this.

Mo Shenghuan helped An Nuo put on the blindfold, kissed An Nuo's forehead, turned up the temperature of the air conditioner, and tucked in the blanket.

The comfortable sleeping environment made An Nuo fall asleep quickly, and vaguely heard the voice of Secretary Li, who seemed to be asking "does it look like".

It was already two hours after An Nuo opened his eyes again, he got up and happily had lunch with Mo Shenghuan, and when it was time to get off work, he took his uncle's hand and left the company on time.

Mo Shenghuan accompanied them to class and An Nuo accompanied them to work, which seemed fair at first glance.

As Mo Shenghuan is the current head of the Mo family, he also prepares for the old man's birthday. An Nuo watched his uncle approach the staff, and found that the scale of this time seems to be quite large. He booked the most exclusive hotel in Jincheng, and the dishes and drinks top match.

Ever since Mo Shenghuan started to manage the company normally, Mr. Mo has hardly interfered. It seems that he really let go of his hands at ease and trusts his son's ability very much.

The old man's birthday banquet is just around the corner. An Nuo's custom-made gold inlaid jade chess has arrived, and there is no problem after checking it. An Nuo is holding the chess piece in his hand to play. The chess carving is simple and elegant, smooth and round, and the texture is delicate. There is a finely carved gold ring on the surface, with words engraved in the middle, the old man will definitely like it.

An Nuo also showed off the gift she had prepared to Mo Shenghuan, which looked noble and majestic, worth more than 50 yuan, and made a posture of millions.

On the day of the birthday banquet, An Nuo and Mo Shenghuan arrived early. As Mr. Mo's eldest son and daughter-in-law, they had to welcome the guests. Mo Shenghuan didn't want An Nuo to stand all the time, so he asked An Nuo to go to the lounge for a while.

An Nuo was happy to be at leisure, and played two games in the lounge. When the banquet was about to officially start, the door of the lounge was knocked three times.

An Nuo always kept her own safety in mind, opened a crack in the door, and saw Mo Shenghuan standing upright outside the door.

Uncle is wearing a black suit today, with a black shirt underneath. His neck looks fair and slender, and his whole body is neat, steady and refined.

The clothes hanger was perfect in a suit, An Nuo looked at his uncle's long legs, opened the door, and opened his arms towards Mo Shenghuan.

Mo Shenghuan walked into the lounge, closed the door behind his back, picked up the boy, and kissed An Nuo hard on the face.

An Nuo wore a dark single-breasted gown that covered her belly today, and she could still look taller visually. Although she didn't show much bosom, there were many sharp-eyed people.

"Can Mr. Mo get used to it?" An Nuo cupped Mo Shenghuan's face, today's scene was too complicated and noisy, even a normal person like An Nuo felt a bit too noisy, let alone uncle.

Mo Shenghuan hugged An Nuo and lightly touched the young man's forehead.

The two enjoyed a moment of silence. The lounge door was knocked again. Secretary Li stood outside the door and reminded the two people in the room, "Mr. Mo, Master An, the banquet has begun."

According to the customs of Jincheng, when the old man celebrates his birthday, the eldest son should put incense on his head. In the past, when Mo Shenghuan was away, Mo Shengkang would always place incense accompanied by Mo Chenghuan.

But this year is different.

An Nuo looked at his uncle standing in front of the crowd, with a slender and tall figure. After the master of ceremonies finished speaking, he lit up the incense with a calm face, gently lifted the white smoke with one hand, and inserted the incense into the incense burner.

The whole process was smooth and graceful, as if it had been done countless times.

Mo Shengkang's family stood aside, and many people watched their reaction.

The condition of the second young master of the Mo family improved, and he took over the Mo family vigorously. The original third young master's family, now it seems that although the clothes are luxurious, they are not as glamorous as before.

The birthday star appeared on the stage, and Mr. Mo was wearing a red traditional Tang suit, beaming and energetic.

Mo Shenghuan put a lot of thought into this birthday banquet, and Mr. Mo couldn't help but be happy. Although his son has always been dissatisfied with him, judging from the birthday banquet, he still cares about him as a father.

As the birthday star sits upright, the juniors will come forward to bow and congratulate and offer congratulatory gifts.

According to seniority, Mo Shenghuan and An Nuo stepped forward to bow first, Mo Shenghuan didn't speak, relying on An Nuo's voice.

"I wish dad a blessing like the East China Sea, a longer life than Nanshan, and a long and healthy life!"

"Okay, okay." Mr. Mo could hardly see his eyes smiling.

"The eldest son, Mo Shenghuan, presents the "Fu Shou Sheng An" birthday curtain." The master of ceremonies said the birthday present, "The eldest daughter-in-law, An Nuo, presents a pair of emerald gold inlaid jade chess pieces."

What is a longevity curtain?

An Nuo turned her head and saw several people lift up a piece of red cloth. After opening it, auspicious patterns were embroidered with gold thread, and there were dense small characters on both sides, and the four big characters "Fu Shou Sheng An" in the middle.

Luxurious and elegant, it is also in line with Mr. Mo's aesthetics.

Another person brought up the gold-encrusted jade chess pieces bought by An Nuo. Mr. Mo touched the texture of the chess pieces with a smile, and he was quite satisfied.

Next came Mo Shengkang and his wife, who presented Mr. Mo with golden longevity peach decorations and two bottles of fine wine. Mo Duoduo and her husband presented a set of "Shoubi Nanshan" jewelry, each of which was very valuable.

As a grandson, Mo Chenghuan gave Mr. Mo an antique pine and cypress screen and kowtowed on his birthday. Seeing his grandson who had lost a lot of weight, Mr. Mo felt distressed in his eyes, and gave Mo Chenghuan a birthday greeting red envelope.

The birthday banquet was going on in an orderly manner. The Bai family and his wife were also at the banquet, sitting close to the Liu family. An Nuo and Mo Shenghuan entered the table. An Nuo found that the color of the red wine in front of him seemed to be wrong. It became grape juice.

The children of the Mo family sat at the same table, and Mr. Mo sat at the main seat with a smile on his face.

"Speaking of which, I have never seen a chess set made of gold and jade." Mo Duoduo looked curious, "I have only seen chess pieces made of Hainan pineapple wood and lobular red sandalwood, and Dad seems to have a set in his collection."

"I've also seen the set collected by Dad." Zhang Yun rarely echoed Mo Duoduo, "Sheng Kang knows a few jade collectors, and it is said that they never collect jade inlaid with gold. If it is good jade, inlaid with gold is a waste of jade. .”

An Nuo raised her eyebrows, and when Mo Shenghuan cut off their credit cards, the two families joined hands.

"It's from my sister-in-law, so I can't say it's vulgar." Mo Duoduo looked at her husband with a smile, "I'm just curious, what kind of chess set is inlaid with gold and jade."

Mr. Mo glanced at his daughter, beckoned to the staff to bring the gift from An Nuo, opened the box, and inside was a set of emerald gold inlaid jade chess, which was high-end and elegant, not at all vulgar.

"What kind of jade is this?" Mo Duoduo looked curious.

"I'm touching it. It's Burmese jade." Mr. Mo picked up a chess piece and touched it for a while.

"Dad, Sheng Kang understands this, let Sheng Kang take a look." Zhang Yun smiled.

The staff brought the box to Mo Shengkang. Mo Shengkang carefully picked up a chess piece, touched it for a while, and then picked up another piece.

"Oh!" Zhang Yun exclaimed, and saw that Mo Shengkang was holding half a chess piece in his hand, and Mo Shengkang also froze in place, looking at Mr. Mo bewildered.

"What's going on?" Mr. Mo frowned, Zhang Yun turned the box to the old man, and saw the round chess piece split in two. Mo Duoduo couldn't help covering his mouth while watching.

"It, it...I..." Mo Shengkang was speechless.

Emeralds usually don't crack naturally, An Nuo stared blankly at the chess pieces broken in half in the box, and didn't react for a while.

"I could see clearly just now that it wasn't Sheng Kang who broke it." Zhang Yun was full of grievances, "This chess piece was originally cracked, but it was barely put together, so Sheng Kang broke it as soon as he picked it up."

"This is too ominous." Mo Duoduo looked at Mr. Mo worriedly, "The crack is still "handsome", the leader of the army."

"Could it be... sister-in-law didn't check it, so she gave it to dad?" Mo Duoduo looked at An Nuo with concern in his eyes, "Sister-in-law, how could you do this?"

"When I got it, it was good." An Nuo frowned, "I have checked every chess piece, and there is no defect."

"It's not flawed, it's just cracked." Zhang Yun sneered, "Sister-in-law is too careless."

"Okay." Mr. Mo frowned, "You guys talk too much."

An Nuo immediately realized that she was being plotted against. Also, Mr. Mo's birthday is such a good opportunity and occasion, if they don't show off their intelligence, it would be a waste.

An Nuo raised her eyes and asked the staff to put up the broken chess pieces. "Before bringing these chess pieces, I wiped them one by one. I can check if there are other people's fingerprints on them. Maybe... there will be unexpected gains."

Mo Duoduo's face changed slightly, and he tried to remain calm, "Maybe someone touched it curiously, even if the person with fingerprints is not necessarily the person who threw the chess pieces."

"It seems that this is where you are most curious." An Nuo smiled, "We don't even know how the chess piece cracked, but you knew it was broken as soon as you opened your mouth."

Mo Duoduo's face was slightly stiff, and he opened his mouth to try to argue, "I guessed it too."

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry." Mo Shengkang said suddenly, and looked at An Nuo sincerely, "I just took it carelessly, today is Dad's birthday banquet, everyone, don't hurt your peace because of such a trivial matter."

An Nuo frowned slightly, and suddenly realized that this Mo Shengkang...seemed to be not simple.

"Okay, let's eat." Mr. Mo raised his hand, "Put the chess back."

The staff put the chess pieces away, and the table fell silent. Several waiters had been helping to refill the wine and serve the food. Mo Duoduo lowered his head and ate the food with suffocated breath, in a very bad mood.

The waiter came over to refill the wine, but he shook his body carelessly, and the red wine spilled in front of Mo Duoduo and onto Mo Duoduo's dress.

"Ah!" Mo Duoduo stood up immediately, looked at her clothes stained with red wine, her eyes filled with distress, and looked at the waiter pouring the wine, "How did you pour the wine?"

"Yes, I'm sorry." The waiter bowed his head and apologized, and hurriedly wiped Mo Duoduo's clothes with paper.

"Duoduo, it's okay." Mo Duoduo's husband got up and said, "Just change it again."

"Husband." Mo Duoduo's eyes moved, aggrieved and coquettish, "You bought this dress for me, your company is not doing well recently, and I can't pay off my credit card, and I wasted money on you again, I'm sorry."

Mr. Mo raised his head when he heard the words, "What credit card?"

"It's the one you gave me and third brother." Mo Duoduo looked sad, "Second brother won't return it to us anymore, and said that we are all married, as if we are not your son or daughter after we get married."

Remembering that the children gave him such a precious gift, Mr. Mo turned his head and looked at Mo Shenghuan, "Shenghuan, what's going on, that's your brother and sister's pocket money."

Mo Shenghuan raised his eyes, glanced at Mo Duoduo, and spoke indifferently.

"not return."

"You child." Mr. Mo frowned, and was about to say something when he heard a low sob coming from the waiter who just poured the wine.

"I didn't ask you to pay." Mo Duoduo was a little puzzled, "Why are you crying?"

"I..." The waiter slowly raised his head and looked at Mo Duoduo with tears in his eyes, "Duoduo..."

The moment Mo Duoduo saw the waiter's face, she took two steps back in disbelief, panicked, and knocked down the chair.

Mr. Mo also saw the middle-aged woman's face, and immediately gasped, standing up in extreme surprise.

"Duoduo, are you okay!" The middle-aged woman burst into tears, and raised her hand to help Mo Duoduo.

"You, you go away!" Mo Duoduo looked up helplessly at Mo Shengkang with eyes full of panic, "Brother!"

"Duoduo, don't you know me?" The middle-aged woman burst into tears, "I'm a mother!"
