Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At father Jiang’s birthday party, Jiang Lu was dressed in a red robe. She was elegant and poised, becoming the object of everyone’s envy.

However, in the next second, everything changed. When Jiang Zhi appeared in an evening gown, her purplish-blue clothes seemed to have been decorated with stars. Standing there, she was the pinnacle of elegance and beauty.

Lu Mian stood beside Jiang Zhi. His purplish suit and Jiang Zhi’s clothes complemented each other, causing the young ladies of the aristocratic families to turn their heads.

“Miss Jiang Lu, presenting a pair of antique calligraphy paintings!” Suddenly, the butler on the other side shouted loudly, attracting the attention of the others. Jiang Lu was unwilling to let the limelight be stolen by Jiang Zhi just like that, so she took out today’s congratulatory gift.

Jiang Zhi looked up at Lu Mian, and the two of them sat down together. Seeing Jiang Lu carrying the antique calligraphy and paintings onto the stage, she proudly displayed them in front of everyone. “Father, happy birthday. I wish you a high career and good health.”

Father Jiang was grinning from ear to ear. The more he looked at Jiang Lu, the more satisfied he was. “My good daughter, what is your gift?”

Father Jiang knew Jiang Lu’s intention, so he deliberately asked, “Open it, let me look at it.”

“Yes, this antique calligraphy and painting were also bought from an old collector at a cost of 30 million. Knowing that Father loves collecting these, no matter how much effort you put in, it’s worth it for father.”

Clap Clap Clap Clap

A round of applause came from below. The older generation cast envious glances at Father Jiang and won everyone’s praise.

“How filial! It seems to be an authentic work of a famous ancient painter. It’s worth a lot!”

“If I had such a daughter, I wouldn’t have any regrets even if I died. He must have spent a lot of effort…”

Jiang Lu hugged the calligraphy and paintings and performed a filial and respectful gesure with Father Jiang.

“How interesting.”Jiang Zhi looked at the scene on the stage. Her laughter was especially obvious among the compliments from everyone.

“Sister, what are you laughing at? Could it be that sister has someone better than me?” Jiang Lu saw that they came in empty-handed and definitely did not take anything. “Sister, don’t tell me you haven’t even prepared a gift?”

Jiang Zhi pointed at the calligraphy painting with amusement. “I don’t have it, but your fake is even more embarrassing, right?”

Resentment flashed across Jiang Lu’s face. “What nonsense are you talking about? This is true!”

“Real? Then tell me, can these words… be real? There are quite a few collectors out there. Why don’t we let them take a look?” Jiang Zhi had been exposed to these things since she was young, she knew a little about it. Anyone with eyes could tell that the painting were fake at a glance.

“Ahem… Miss Jiang is right. This painting is indeed fake…” One of the elders slowly stood up. He was afraid of the Jiang family’s power and had not wanted to interfere. Since someone had said so.. then he had to stand up.

“Nonsense! How is that possible? You are working with Jiang Zhi!” Jiang Lu stood on the stage and glared at Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi shrugged. “If you don’t believe me, why don’t you ask someone else?”

“Indeed, it looks like an antique. Second Miss Jiang, were you perhaps deceived?”

“Yes, this painting is too different from my collection. Anyone who knows something should know.” Another collector also stood up.

Jiang Lu stood on the stage and did not come down. She put the painting aside with a red face. When Father Jiang saw this situation, he walked up. “Jiang Lu, it’s okay if you didn’t know. Jiang Zhi, What’s wrong with you?”

Father Jiang took the initiative to come up to rescue her. His words were filled with hatred for his daughter.. “As my daughter, you don’t have a gift? We have raised you for so many years. What is our reward?”
