Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen) -
Chapter 1160
After understanding her father's meaning, Momo played along with him immediately and said, "Grandpa, Fade is a good friend of mine. You wouldn't mind if I brought him here to have some fun, right?" Lyla and Yuki wanted to say something at this time, but Egbert spoke up right then so that they had no chance to interrupt.
He chuckled and said, "Of course, your friend can come and hang out any time."
Momo's expression became more excited when she heard what Egbert was saying as she felt a glimmer of hope. She glanced at Fade and then smiled, saying, "Grandpa, Fade brought some gifts along too." With that said, Fade came out with gifts, "It's really nothing."
With that, he handed the gifts. When the Soo family members saw the gifts, they let out cries of surprise instantly.
"This jade pendant is made of glass. It's worth more than 100,000 yuan at least!"
"This ancient sword is my most favorite type. Well, not bad!"
"This jade finger is an ancient gadget. It's worth at least 200,000 yuan!"
Suddenly, the surprised discussion turned into one of curiosity and astonishment for Fade. Of course, voices of doubt were indispensable too.
"Fade is quite wealthy, isn't he? He is so generous."
"Haha, is this called wealthy? Does he think that we, the Soo family, are short of this sum of money?"
"This dude has put in a lot of effort. He has chosen everything we like."
"These things were chosen by Momo, obviously. Perhaps it is Momo who paid for it, what's so exciting about that?"
"It looks like this dude is not bad!"
"Did he buy you off with just a gift? Don't be so cheap!"
Seeing the discussion of the Soo family members on the scene, Somoset became a little discontented. He coughed and said sternly, "Don't accept others' gifts casually. Otherwise, outsiders might think that we are greedy for money!"
After he said this, many Soo family members, who were playing with the gifts excitedly, put the gifts down hurriedly. Their expressions were solemn. Some of them even did not dare to accept the gifts. However, Egbert waved his hand and said lightly, "Somoset, it's fine since the gifts are Fade's token of goodwill. Let them accept it!"
Since he had already said so, Somoset naturally stopped saying anything.
Momo was even more content. She gestured to Fade, who took out a few important gifts and gave them to important figures like Ernest and Somoset.
Compared with the gifts just now, these gifts were obviously more valuable.
Ernest accepted the gift with a smile on his face, while Somoset and Lyla had on a straight face, looking extremely discontent. After receiving the gifts, they put it aside and looked scornful.
However, Fade didn't expect them to like it, and neither did he care. Instead, he focused on the last and most important gift - he took out Einstein Zheng's calligraphy painting.
At this time, Momo showed the painting to Egbert with a smile on her face, "Grandpa, Fade heard that you like antique calligraphy painting, so he specially got you a calligraphy painting in hopes that you like
it."
After speaking, Fade presented the calligraphy painting to him. Egbert did not receive it personally. Instead, he ordered his servant to take it and display it directly on the spot.
When the servant displayed the calligraphy painting in front of everyone, there was a burst of exclamation on the scene.
"This... This is Einstein Zheng's calligraphy painting."
"Looking at the markings on the painting, it seems to be real!"
"This is a big splurge. The genuine Einstein's calligraphy paintings are worth at least hundreds of millions of yuan!"
"Master Egbert likes Einstein Zheng very much. This dude has really put in a lot of effort this time!"
With such a big splurge, even Somoset and Ernest, who did not think kindly of Fade, had a look of surprise on their faces at this moment.
"Is this really Einstein's calligraphy painting?"
"It's worth hundreds of millions of yuan. Is this brat really that wealthy?"
Yuki murmured in a displeased manner, "Why are all of you so surprised? Who knows if it's genuine or not?"
Momo and Fade ignored all these strange words and gazes at this time and only looked at Egbert.
Momo beamed and said, "Grandpa, you like antique calligraphy painting the most. Please accept this gift!"
Egbert, who had always had a smile at the corners of his mouth before, found his expression falling a little when he laid eyes on the painting. He did not accept the painting and said, "I can't accept this, this calligraphy painting is too valuable. Fade, you should take it back."
Fade was a little startled. Momo explained hurriedly, "Grandpa, Fade picked up this calligraphy painting during a great sale. It only cost 25 million yuan. It's not too expensive, so just accept it." Before Egbert could say another word, the people around were riled up again when they heard this.
"It turns out that it was on bargain. No wonder! And here I thought how generous he would be to spend billions on such a valuable painting!"
"Truthfully speaking though, 25 million yuan is not a small sum of money either!" "Hah, they say they got this painting with 25 million yuan and you believe it just like that? Perhaps he only spent two thousand and five hundred yuan to get it. Besides, Einstein's calligraphy painting is worth hundreds of millions of yuan only if it's genuine. But now, I can't be sure if this painting is the actual thing or not!"
"True! How can this dude have such the luck to pick up such a big bargain anyways!"
"What about the gifts that he gave us before? Won't they be..."
For a while, the good impression created by giving the gifts just now turned into doubt and speculation about Fade.
Momo didn't expect a single sentence she said would overturn the situation like this. She became a little anxious in an instant and explained, "Grandpa, this calligraphy painting is genuine. When we found it, everyone at the scene said..."
Egbert waved his hand and interrupted Momo, "Momo, I believe this calligraphy painting is genuine. It's just that we can't accept such a valuable gift!"
As he said, he yawned and said, "I'm exhausted, I'm going to rest."
With that, Somoset helped him walk down from his seat immediately.
Although Momo felt it was a pity, she still walked over and helped Egbert into his room.
Although the act of giving a valuable gift to please the old master eventually failed, things were going quite well. Momo wanted Fade to stay in the manor for the coming few days so that he could get along with the Soo family members and make them change their attitude towards him.
Therefore, she sent someone to arrange a place for him to stay.
Just when Momo was about to arrange somewhere for Fade to stay in the Soo Manor, Lyla walked out and stopped them. She shot Fade a cold face and said, "You can't stay here, please leave now!" Upon hearing this, Fade frowned and immediately grew displeased.
Momo asked instantly, "Aunt Lyla, what are you doing? Fade is my friend and our guest. How can you drive him away?"
Lyla curled her lips and replied, "Momo, you're an adult. There are some things you should be aware of. The Soo family has been an honoured family for as long as a century. There are some rules and customs that cannot be violated."
