At this moment, everyone remembered that Xu Tian had initially argued that this was not something he wanted to give to Mr. Yan.
At that time, they only thought that Xu Tian was making excuses.
But now, they know the value of this thing...
"Shut up, isn't that embarrassing enough?"
When Su Mingli saw Mr. Yan Zhang Yuzhen's words, his face visibly darkened, and he quickly pulled Zhang Yuzhen over.
Seeing Su Mingli's angry face, Zhang Yuzhen and Su Weixin did not dare to argue anymore. They could only retreat dejectedly into the crowd and accept the glares from other guests.
Xu Tian felt the glances around him directed at him, his mind moved, and he said immediately.
"Grandpa, this gift is indeed not from me."
He added calmly in the slightly disappointed eyes of Mr. Yan.
"My godfather wants to give it to you. The reason I didn't tell you is because there were so many people at the banquet. If such a valuable antique is lost or damaged, it will be an immeasurable loss."
"Besides, my godfather also wanted to give you a surprise, so he deliberately left it in the security room and gave it to you after the birthday party."
Saying that, Xu Tian looked at Yan Jinsong and said:
"Godfather, you used a lot of favors to get this from a collector. It's up to you to explain it to grandpa yourself."
Yan Jinsong looked at Xu Tian blankly, and finally nodded at Xu Tian's eyes.
"This is a priceless treasure. From which collector did you get it?"
Mr. Yan is not that easy to fool: "And the treasure is worth as much as a thousand miles of mountains and rivers. Can you afford it now?"
Xu Tianwen said with a faint smile: "Actually, it was my godfather who saved the life of that collector in the early years, so he was willing to part with me. Moreover, that man behaves in a low-key manner and usually lives in seclusion. He doesn't want us to reveal his true identity."
Xu Tian's reason is quite reasonable.
And since Lao Song had confirmed that the dagger was genuine, he was not interested in delving into the other details.
"Jinsong, tell me, is this the gift you plan to give me?"
Mr. Yan has long given up any hope on Yan Jinsong. This is the first time tonight that he has paid attention to the eldest son who he once had high hopes for.
Yan Jinsong was unwilling to lie to his father, but Xu Tian stood up to him. Denying it now would not only make his father angry, but also make Xu Tian bear the charge of deceiving his elders.
After weighing the pros and cons, he nodded.
"I prepared this specially for you."
"I'm determined."
Mr. Yan's serious expression softened somewhat, as if he was thinking of something from the past, and he sighed with some regret: "Since I'm home today, let's have a good time catching up with my family."
Although his attitude towards Yan Jinsong is still cold, this is the best attitude he has had in recent years.
"The eldest son of the Yan family has really worked hard for Mr. Yan's birthday..."
"He can actually find such a rare treasure!"
The guests applauded and praised Yan Jinsong.
Butler Xiao saw that he failed to make Xu Tian offend Mr. Yan, but actually made Mr. Yan admit his identity. He was about to say something else, but saw Yan Hongyu not far away giving him a calm wink.
So he could only reluctantly shut his mouth and retreated behind the crowd.
After everyone gave gifts, the banquet officially started.
Yan Jinsong and Xu Tian also returned to their positions.
They were arranged at the door. The table was deserted. Except for Su Xiuya and Yan Qingxue, there was no one else.
After the two of them sat down, Su Xiuya couldn't wait to ask:
"Xiaotian, what on earth is going on?"
Xu Tianwenyan explained: "The dagger was actually found at my antique street stall. I originally thought it was a fake and was just something I bought for fun. I was afraid that it would be misunderstood as a gift, so I deliberately placed it in the security room. However, it was still
Butler Xiao dug it out."
As he spoke, he said with some emotion: "I didn't expect that this dagger was really an antique. It seems that the stall owner didn't lie to me."
"What's going on with that house?"
Yan Jinsong asked with a straight face: "How did you know that the house where Su Mingli's family lives is mine?"
"Godfather, actually I also know that the villa in Jiangshui Dynasty also belongs to you."
Xu Tian scratched his head, with an apology in his eyes: "I now work for a company under Tianfeng Entertainment."
"Tianfeng Entertainment?" Yan Jinsong realized something and his eyes turned cold again.
Xu Tian nodded: "I helped the company solve a public relations crisis, so I was hired as an exception."
"I fainted on the road before, and was sent to the hospital by my godmother because I was too tired from work during that time, so I was exhausted."
"After I recovered the losses for the company, my boss promised to give me a large bonus and promised me a condition."
"When I went to the head office to meet my boss, I happened to be entertaining old friends outside the office. I stood outside the door and overheard some gossip about you, my godfather."
"That's why I thought that my godfather and godmother must be reluctant to part with this house, so when the boss asked me what I wanted, I asked for the house at No. 88 Jiangshui Dynasty."
"You know that Su Mingli's house belongs to me, and you heard it from Guo Qishan?"
Yan Jinsong has been fighting with Guo Qishan for half his life, and he naturally knows the details of each other.
He also didn't expect Guo Qishan to be so bottomless and tell others about his privacy everywhere.
Xu Tian nodded without hesitation.
He accidentally let Guo Qishan take the blame, but for him at this stage, the most important thing is to make Yan Jinsong and Su Xiuya accept this rhetoric, so he can only "sacrifice" the image of Mr. Guo.
"So that's it." Yan Jinsong's expression softened a lot.
"Dad, did I make you angry because I made my own decision?"
"No, I'm not angry."
Yan Jinsong patted Xu Tian on the shoulder: "On the contrary, I want to thank you."
"But I can't live in the Jiangshui Dynasty because you worked so hard overtime to get it."
"Yes, how can the rent of 1,500 yuan for this house be enough? You said you couldn't rent it out before, so you were trying to trick us, right?" Su Xiuya also said hurriedly.
"I'm worried about the psychological burden on my godfather and godmother."
Xu Tian breathed a sigh of relief and said with a faint smile: "I usually live in the dormitory. If you don't live in that house, it will be empty. What a pity."
"As for the rent, you are my godfather and godmother, and I still charge such a high rent. If word gets out, I will be stabbed in the back."
"Then..." Su Xiuya looked at Yan Jinsong hesitantly, obviously hoping that he would make up his mind.
"Godmother, do you think this will work..." Xu Tian said in a consultative tone: "I like to eat home-cooked food. If you, godmother, can you cook me some dishes when you are free, okay?
?”
Just as Su Xiuya was about to open her mouth, Xu Tian continued: "You live with your godfather at Zhang Yuzhen's house and it's not convenient for me to go see you. They will definitely not welcome me."
"And with my current financial situation, I really can't afford to buy a small house for you to live in. Godfather and godmother, you should move to Jiangshui Dynasty."
Xu Tian's words moved Su Xiuya's heart.
Today they and Zhang Yuzhen have broken up. If they go back again, they will definitely be looked down upon.
What Xu Tian said made sense. If they lived at their younger brother's house, they couldn't invite Xu Tian to their home for dinner.
Su Xiuya has a gentle personality and is used to letting Yan Jinsong make decisions, so she turned around and asked tentatively: "Old Yan, what do you think?"
"Then just follow Xiaotian's arrangements."
Yan Jinsong softened his attitude: "But the rent can't be just 1,500 yuan. Your godmother and I don't have much money to spare right now. Let's help you save 3,000 yuan a month. If you need it in the future, just tell me."
."
"Dad, Mom, haven't you considered my opinion?"
Yan Qingxue saw that her parents did not discuss with her at all, and she was a little angry: "I am your biological daughter!"
