The red cloth used to cover the item gracefully fell to the floor, revealing the object carried by two bodyguards in front of the guests.
A chorus of exclamations arose.
Yet Yuan Xu's face turned ashen the moment he saw what had been hidden beneath the red cloth.
The gift presented by Cheng Yiru was none other than a White Jade Guanyin Statue!
Cheng Xizhi had been busy preparing a birthday gift for her father, which Yuan Xu knew well, and he was aware of just how much effort Cheng Xizhi had put into this gift. He had stayed by her side, watching her run to the master sculptor every day, personally overseeing every detail and refusing to settle for anything less than perfect.
But now, Cheng Yiru's presentation of a Guanyin statue made Xi Xi's nearly two months of hard work seem like a joke. She had pondered over how to surprise her father, only to be preempted by someone else.
