Also, Xue Ming-Hua's older brother was the head of the Xue family, so now that she did the Xue family such a huge favor, Xue Ming-Hua's older brother would definitely have a good impression of her.
Xu Mei-Feng thought Xue Ming-Hua's older brother would personally attend the birthday banquet, but Xue Ming-Hua turned up instead.
Xue Ming-Hua smiled and replied, "My older brother wanted to come personally. After all, Miss Xu is the one who helped matchmake Leilei and I and made our engagement go so smoothly. The Xue family will always be grateful to Miss Xu. My big brother handpicked this gift and spent a month's worth salary on buying it and told me to hand it to Miss Xu as your birthday gift personally."
Everyone trembled when they heard Xue Ming-Hua words.
A month's salary?
Then it was probably worth millions.
The Xue family certainly was generous to send an extravagant million dollar gift as a birthday present.
Many people sighed in envy.
After all, despite the billions that their huge family businesses raked in, their businesses had equally high expenditures, and many of their companies had loan liabilities.
So unless it were an important event, they wouldn't have the motivation to present a gift worth millions as a birthday gift to a woman.
Xing Tian was the Xing family's heir, and his gift came in second to the Xue family's jade hairpin. The diamond ring he presented was worth about $900,000 and cost almost half a year of his income.
Xing Tian went all out just to impress the girl today.
But Xing Tian naturally couldn't compare to the Xue family.
"Did your brother handpick it? Thanks, I love it," said Xu Mei-Feng as she beamed when she heard what Xue Ming-Hua said. Then she excitedly invited Xue Ming-Hua to take his seat.
Then many rich and powerful guests offered birthday gifts to Xu Mei-Feng.
This went on for almost 30 minutes before all the guests were done congratulating her.
Xu Mei-Feng suddenly stood up after the guests sat down. She held up a glass of wine proudly in a dignified manner said proudly to everyone, "My father isn't around today, so I represent the Xu family today. On behalf of the Xu family, I, Xu Mei-Feng, thank everyone for coming today. Allow me to offer you a toast!"
Xu Mei-Feng stood proudly in front of the main seat.
She could sense the reverence coming from the crowd when she held up the wine glass. Then she tilted her head back and finished the red wine in her glass with a gulp as everyone looked on intently.
CLAP CLAP CLAP...
Thunderous applause rang.
"Miss Xu has both beauty and brains.
You're extraordinary."
"I'm sure when the head retires, he will leave the family in your hands.”
"Let's all offer Miss Xu a toast as well."
Everyone flattered Xu Mei-Feng amid the applause, and the sound of ingratiation kept surging through the hall.
Xu Mei-Feng proudly smiled as she looked down at the people who were fawning her and seemed to be in high spirits.
It felt as though she had reached her pinnacle of life.
But just as Xu Mei-Feng was reveling in all the attention, the hall door suddenly opened.
Then a skinny young man quietly came into sight.
"And you are?" asked Xu Mei-Feng when the man suddenly appeared before her.
The other people looked at the man curiously as well.
He didn't seem wealthy or influential at all, judging from his outfit.
Was he the Xu family's guest?
