Pick Up a Son, Get a Free Husband 3

Chapter 554: The Gift

Chairman Kim's gift was clearly a case of insincere splurging. On the other hand, Krystal's present exuded effort in preparation.

She knew that he loved jade and was also a staunch Buddhist, so she chose to give him a jade beaded bracelet.

As Zhiyuan assessed the bracelet, Krystal stood in front of him quietly.

Despite the unease in her eyes, the elder loved her very much.

Krystal had been staying with him ever since she was a child and even after it was found out that she was not his actual grandchild, he still treated her just like one of his own. He just did not like his eldest son's and daughter-in-law's attitude.

Zhiyuan sighed and gently said, "Thank you for your gift, I really like it!"

Krystal looked relieved to hear her grandfather's praise. Her eyes had reddened slightly and she excitedly said, "I'm glad that you like it, Grandfather!"

The old man felt sorry for her upon hearing the girl's sincerity in her voice. He did not want to involve her in his argument with his son and daughter-in-law. He then advised her, "Your career is important but remember to take care of your health, especially since you're a girl. Don't overexert yourself!"

Krystal nodded heavily, feeling touched. "Got it, Grandfather!"

Her parents looked at each other after they saw that the elder's face was full of warmth. They looked at Krystal, their treasure and pride.

The relatives and the guests at the side started their stream of flattery...

"Oh, the color of the jade looks really good. I'm guessing it costs at least two or three million dollars!"

"That's no big deal. Krystal's brand "History" made a net profit of tens of millions just this season.

What's more is that she's a famous superstar!"

"Elder Kim, you're really blessed! Your children and grandchildren are so capable and filial!"

...

In the corner, Jennie who was chatting with Tianxin frowned when she saw Ning Xueluo's present for their grandfather.

What a coincidence!

Krystal's present was just like Jennie's, a bracelet made of jade beads?

Her eyes met Krystal's gaze.

Krystal set her eyes on the present on their table. Those cunning eyes...they looked as if she already knew what Jennie had planned to give and that she had purposely prepared the same thing!

Obviously, Krystal's present was at least ten times more expensive than Jennie's gift.

She intentionally wanted to embarrass her in front of everyone...

Krystal put on a grin, then told the elder, "Grandfather, I heard that Sister has also got you a present!"

She innocently looked as if she was just trying to make Grandfather happy.

As Jennie's real identity had still not been announced, her parents would be spared the blame regardless of whatever humiliating incident occurred since she was an adopted daughter to the public's knowledge . At the same time, she could make Grandfather upset with Jennie, hence killing two birds with one stone.

As expected, the elder did not notice Krystal's real intentions. He looked at Jennie with joy. "Is that true, Jennie?"

Tianxin looked at Krystal, then turned to Jennie, her sharp senses warning her that something was not right. "Jennie, wait..."

She could not tell what Krystal was plotting but it was definitely clear that whatever it was would not help improve the relationship between Jennie and Grandfather, making it even more impossible for Jennie to shine under a positive light at an event like this.
