Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Fan saw that his dad had been momentarily stunned. Then, he looked at Wang Ming Yang’s expression and felt helpless. He nudged his dad.

“Dad, Ming Yang is asking you. Do you like it?”

Lin Fan had not thought that Wang Ming Yang would give such a gift. Wang Ming Yang was not afraid of making a big deal out of this at all.

At that moment, Lin Fan’s dad came back to his senses. He looked at the big and completely gold God of Longevity sculpture in Wang Ming Yang’s hands and didn’t know what to say. He could tell that this thing was definitely pricey with just one look.

“Ming Yang, it’s good enough that you came. Uncle can’t accept this gift. I can’t.” Lin Fan’s dad frantically waved his hands. How could he accept such an expensive gift?

Huang Ting just stood there. He was quite knowledgeable. When he saw this golden God of Longevity, he knew that it definitely wasn’t cheap.

Could it be that there was some kind of reason for this?

“Dad, what’s up with your classmate? He’s really making things big. He’s giving up his hard-earned savings. That helicopter just now must have been expensive even just for a short ride. And such a big golden God of Longevity sculpture must be worth at least several millions. It can’t be fake, can it?” whispered Huang Yun Ge.

He wasn’t just being suspicious. He really didn’t believe it.

Huang Ting didn’t reply. It didn’t seem that it was fake. Looking at the luster and craftsmanship of the item, it was very well-made. It didn’t look like it was fake at all.

When met with an uncertain situation, people would start to make things up in their minds.

Huang Ting had started to form thoughts as well. Perhaps, Elder Lin had helped someone in the past, so that person was giving him a big gift for his fiftieth birthday.

But to Huang Ting, it seemed that Elder Lin wasn’t going to accept it. After all, it was a very expensive item.

Wang Ming Yang became a little anxious. “Uncle, this is my birthday present to you. You have to accept it.”

Lin Fan said, “Dad, just accept it. This is just a form of goodwill from him.”

When Huang Ting heard that, he frowned. Then, he started to feel regretful.Looks like Elder Lin’s son can’t resist the temptation of money.

But thinking about it, it made sense. After all, if this God of Longevity was made of pure gold, it would be worth a huge fortune. Most people wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation.

Those other classmates who were sitting at the table were dumbfounded. They really couldn’t understand what was going on.

Then, they started to talk amongst themselves.

“Where did these people come from?”

“No idea. Elder Lin’s fiftieth birthday celebration is pretty big, isn’t it? Could it be that he hired actors to show off how well-off he is now?”

“How is it possible that he would receive such a big God of Longevity sculpture? If it’s pure gold, who knows how much it would be worth?”

“Yeah. This young man even said that he bought someone’s gold shop. How is that possible? How could a youngster like him have enough money to do that? This is clearly just bragging.”

“Sigh. I didn’t think that Elder Lin would become such a person. Forget it. Let’s not say anything about it. After today, it’s better if we interact less with Elder Lin. This person is too fake.”

These people gossiped amongst themselves. They definitely wouldn’t believe this scene. After all, it had completely exceeded their imaginations.

This young man isn’t even Elder Lin’s own son. To give such a big birthday present, how is that possible?

“That’s not good,” said Lin Fan’s dad.

Lin Fan leaned closer to his dad’s ear. “Dad, take it. If you don’t accept it, there will be a lot more things to deal with.”

After hearing his son’s words, Lin Fan’s dad had no choice but to accept the present with both hands. Just as he wanted to say something, he suddenly realized that the sculpture was so heavy that he almost couldn’t hold on.

It’s too heavy. How heavy must this be?

Wang Ming Yang smiled, then looked at Lin Fan. The meaning in his eyes was clear, ‘You’ll have to have a good talk with him later. You can’t just leave it at this.’

Lin Fan saw this expression and had nothing else to say. This had left him helpless.

He Cheng Han’s age was close to Lin Fan’s father’s, so he addressed his father as Big Bro. Although his present wasn’t as expensive as Wang Ming Yang’s, it was a jade bracelet. It had a brilliant luster to it and it was probably not cheap either.

Lin Fan didn’t even know what to say to these buddies of his from Shanghai. But now that they had already come, what else could Lin Fan do?

He could only say ‘You guys are really f*cking awesome.’

Huang Yun Ge whispered into his father’s ear, “Dad, did you see that? You always say that people don’t change. But look. This is very different from what you told me. I told you that there’s no one in this world who won’t change.”

“Look. There are gold and jade now. How much must they be worth? Just these presents are probably worth at least 10 million.”

Huang Ting shot a glare at his son. “Alright, just eat your food.”

Huang Yun Ge sighed helplessly. His own father didn’t believe him, so he was helpless.

The people lined up to present gifts to Lin Fan’s dad one by one and it continued for a period of time.

Lin Fan quickly went to look for the waiter to open up a private room for these guys. If he were to let these guys stay in the banquet hall, who knew what kind of problems they would cause?

The gifts were all given.

Wang Ming Yang and the rest had wanted to chat for longer in the banquet hall but Lin Fan dragged them away.

His dad was already a little dazed. With all these presents in his hands, he didn’t even know what to do.

“Elder Lin, what’s going on? Do you know all these people?” one of his old classmates, Zhang Hao, asked.

Lin Fan’s dad shook his head. “I only know one of them but not the rest. I think they’re all friends of my son.”

When he said that, everyone started sighing in their hearts. Look. You’ve been exposed. How respected must you be for people you don’t even know to give you such big presents?

And looking at the previous situation, it seemed that they didn’t take no for an answer!

As for them being your son’s friends, that’s impossible. It’s a complete lie!

“Doesn’t your son run a shop in Shanghai? How can his friends all be so generous? They even came here for your birthday. It’s really amazing,” said Zhang Hao with a smile. But the meaning behind this smile was ‘Everyone here can see through you’.

Lin Fan’s father saw the meaning behind that smile as well. He just smiled back and didn’t refute.

If it had been someone else, he would’ve refuted long ago. But in front of these old classmates that he hadn’t seen for so long, he really didn’t want to say anything or argue with his classmates. If that were to happen, it would really be meaningless.

Huang Ting coughed lightly. “Let’s eat and drink. Enough talk about that. Elder Lin and his son have wide connections. That’s a good thing.”

Since the big shot had spoken, the other classmates had nothing to say. But the meaning in their eyes was clear. Keep bragging, we’re listening.

You’re the star today. Whatever you say goes.

Anyway, we won’t be in contact with you anymore after today. It’s clear that you’re bluffing us.

And as everyone looked at how Huang Ting didn’t say anything, they felt that it wasn’t possible that it was true.

He was probably not saying anything because he just didn’t want to expose Elder Lin.
