Sensing the disdain in the eyes of Jiujiu, Mo Jinyu's face darkened. He said, "Go and give the present to Grandma first."
The Old Madam did not like to socialize. She would only come out for dinner. Since Mo Jinyu was her friend, Jiujiu brought Mo Jinyu to the Old Madam.
Inside the house, Mo Jinyu handed the box to the Old Madam and said softly, "It's just a small gift. I hope you like it."
The Old Madam did not know much about what was going on outside. But seeing that Jiujiu had brought him back and that he seemed to be very close to Jiujiu, she thought that he was Jiujiu's boyfriend. So she took the box happily.
The Old Madam opened the box in front of everyone.
Seeing the brooch in the box, even Li Zhenyang, who did not know much about decorations, could not help but brighten.
It was a jade brooch that was carved into the shape of a butterfly. The most amazing thing was that the butterfly was entirely green, except for its eyes, which were a deep black. Its wings were a light pink, and when he held it in his hand, it looked as if it was about to spread its wings and fly.
He had seen a lot of jade, but it was rare to see such a beautiful one.
Meng Ting, who liked jade very much and had collected a lot of it, could not help but ask, "Is this a butterfly?"
"A butterfly?"
Li Jiuge almost screamed.
A butterfly was the last work of the domestic sculptor, Ghost Knife. It was said that someone had offered 50 million yuan but failed to buy it. Unexpectedly, this man had casually taken it out as a birthday present for the Old Madam. It was really a big deal.
Everyone who had thought of Mo Jinyu as Jiujiu's ordinary friend started to look at Mo Jinyu carefully.
Li Zhenyang, who didn't think that Jiujiu was a threat at first, regarded Jiujiu as the biggest obstacle to him inheriting the Li Family after her company's stock price kept rising. Li Zhenyang looked at Mo Jinyu with hostility. "This is?"
Mo Jinyu didn't look at Li Zhenyang, but continued to say to Old Madam Li, "Grandma, I'm Jiujiu's friend, Mo Jinyu."
Old Madam Li didn't know how powerful the words' Mo Jinyu 'were. She thought that Mo Jinyu was Jiujiu's boyfriend. She nodded and said, "You don't have to bring gifts. Jiujiu, why didn't you say hi to me?"
Now that she did not even have a red packet, what if Xiao Yu misunderstood that she did not like him anymore?
Jiujiu chuckled: "grandma, he won't be angry."
Everyone's hearts were in their throats when they heard the name Mo Jinyu. Now that they heard Jiujiu's impolite words, they instantly looked at Mo Jinyu.
Would he be angry if someone said that about him?
But to everyone's surprise, Mo Jinyu didn't get angry when Jiujiu said that. Instead, he nodded and said, "grandma, it's not Jiujiu's fault. Don't blame her."
Old Madam Li was just joking, but she didn't expect Mo Jinyu to take it to heart. She was even more satisfied with this man who treated her granddaughter so well.
Everyone present had different expressions, but the way they looked at Jiujiu was a little more solemn and calculating.
Jiujiu's company might be powerful, but compared to Mo Jinyu, it was nothing.
Mo Jinyu was a legend. If she really had a relationship with Mo Jinyu, even if Jiujiu was a pile of mud, he could support her to become a business genius, not to mention that Jiujiu was already powerful.
Li Zhenyang looked at Mo Jinyu with more vigilance than he looked at Jiujiu.
Once the news that Mo Jinyu appeared at Old Madam Li's birthday party spread, those who had not planned to go immediately asked their subordinates to prepare generous gifts and went in person.
The party ended.
The news that Li Jiujiu and Mo Jinyu had a close relationship spread, and the news that Li Jiujiu was the next heir of the Li Family was well known.
As for those who wanted to hit on Jiujiu, after seeing the relationship between Jiujiu and Mo Jinyu, they gave up and started to hit on Li Jiuge.
If Li Jiujiu and Mo Jinyu were together, even if Li Jiuge was just an adopted daughter, she could get close to Mo Jinyu if she was related to Li Jiujiu. If she could get close to the Mo Family, she would be able to rise to a higher level in the future.
Xu Jin, who had wanted to marry Jiujiu before Jiujiu developed, was silent for a long time after hearing the news from his subordinates that Jiujiu and Mo Jinyu had a close relationship.
Mo Jinyu was famous for his cold temper. He did not even smile when talking to his own family. Now that he was treating Jiujiu like this, it was obvious what he was thinking.
Although Xu Dongchen was outstanding, he was not worth mentioning compared to Mo Jinyu.
Xu Jin looked at Xu Dongchen, who was depressed after hearing the news about Mo Jinyu, and said slowly, "You haven't broken off contact with Li Jiuge, right?"
Xu Dongchen nodded. "No."
"Then continue to keep in touch."
Once Mo Jinyu and Li Jiujiu really got together, even if she was just an adopted daughter, Li Jiuge's status would still be very high. They had a natural advantage and had to seize it.
However, this made Xu Dongchen, who had already regarded Jiujiu as his own, very uncomfortable.
After Old Madam Li's birthday, Jiujiu became even busier. With the old professor's guarantee, Jiujiu did not go to class. She only had to take the exam at the end of the term.
Li Chen and Meng Ting had already donated a large sum of money to Jiujiu's enrollment. Now that Jiujiu was so outstanding, the school naturally did not restrict Jiujiu.
Because of this, Jiujiu's life in the third and fourth years of university was very comfortable.
In two years, Jiujiu's company had expanded by ten times. Her mobile game studio had expanded to five, and the games that she had developed had become popular all over the world, causing a lot of excitement.
And Mo Jinyu seemed to be involved in a family property dispute. They had not seen each other for more than two years.
Not long after Jiujiu graduated from university, she took over the position of General Manager of the Li Family Company.
Because Jiujiu started from scratch and had a good relationship with Jiujiu, even though she was a daughter who came back halfway, she still had great prestige in the company. When Li Chen proposed to let Jiujiu be the General Manager, no one objected.
This made Li Zhenyang, who had worked hard in the company for several years and was only a department manager, jealous.
He was always at the beck and call of the company, but he was not as good as Jiujiu, who had connections.
Yes, even now, Li Zhenyang still did not want to admit that Jiujiu was great.
In Li Zhenyang's opinion, Jiujiu was just a silly girl who came back from a temple. Even if she was smart, she could not have done what others would have done over a decade in just a few years.
He felt that the rumors outside were just Li Chen and Meng Ting helping Li Jiujiu build momentum.
As for Mo Jinyu, it was even easier to understand. It was nothing more than seeing Li Jiujiu's good looks and having some thoughts that all men would have. If he really cared about Li Jiujiu, why would he stay abroad for the past few years and not come back?
