Ye Feng took a careful look. Zhou Lingyu had given him a beautiful green jade bracelet, exquisitely crafted and sparkling under the light. It was clearly not cheap.
Zhao Feiyan's gift was an Hermes bag. While Ye Feng didn't know much about such things, the brand alone indicated its considerable value.
The gifts from others were also not inexpensive, as they were all children of wealthy families, and their presents naturally carried high price tags.
Ye Feng had intended to present his gift immediately, but seeing everyone eagerly taking out their presents, followed by various displays of pride and explanations, he decided to wait a moment.
At this point, it was Du Haojie's turn to present his gift. He opened the gift box and took out a pair of curved hook earrings.
"Feifei, these are earrings I specifically chose for you. They are pure gold. Only such a gift can match your status as a wealthy young lady!" Du Haojie said confidently.
However, upon seeing the pair of earrings, Ye Feng almost burst out laughing.
Although they were a pair of golden curved hook earrings made of pure gold, their style looked remarkably tacky, resembling something a nouveau riche middle-aged woman would wear.
Xiao Feifei's expression turned awkward. But since it was a gift, she couldn't express her dislike. She could only brace herself and accept it.
"Thank you, you've spent too much!" Xiao Feifei said speechlessly.
Du Haojie, however, feigned humility and replied, "It's not a lot, not a lot. Just over three hundred thousand!"
After saying this, Du Haojie couldn't resist glancing at Ye Feng with a smug expression.
Unbeknownst to him, the other women looked at Du Haojie and silently despaired at his taste, having chosen such a tacky gift for Xiao Feifei.
Moreover, they could tell that although the earrings were pure gold, they were worth at most a little over a hundred thousand, certainly not three hundred thousand.
Either he was lying to show off and save face, or he had been conned.
However, in such a setting, no one found it appropriate to expose him.
After Du Haojie sat down, Qin Hao immediately stood up. He also took out a gift box, and inside was a beautiful bracelet.
The bracelet was linked by pure silver and adorned with four differently colored gemstones, looking very pretty. Its price was unlikely to be low.
"A very beautiful bracelet! Thank you!"
Seeing the bracelet, Xiao Feifei couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Qin Hao, hearing this, felt a surge of delight and, looking at Ye Feng, let out a soft hum and a provocative glance.
Ye Feng found these guys utterly exasperating, always provoking him with everything they did. He gave a dismissive chuckle and ignored them.
Just then, Tang Zhiyang saw that most people had presented their gifts and stood up, clapping his hands.
The next moment, two men with bruised and swollen faces walked in, carrying a gift.
Seeing their miserable state, everyone was confused. Tang Zhiyang, even more so, asked, "What happened to you two?"
"N-nothing! We just fell!"
The two men glanced at Ye Feng standing nearby and stammered, not daring to say more.
These two were Tang Zhiyang's bodyguards. Earlier, downstairs, they had tried to bribe Ye Feng with a hundred yuan for his parking spot. When Ye Feng refused, they had tried to use force, only to be beaten up by Ye Feng.
Seeing that they wouldn't speak, Tang Zhiyang didn't press further. He took the item from them and signaled them to withdraw.
"Feifei, this is my gift to you. Open it and see. I believe you will really like it!" Tang Zhiyang said, handing the item to Xiao Feifei.
Xiao Feifei hesitated for a moment before accepting it.
The packaging alone was incredibly exquisite, almost like a work of art, making everyone feel that the contents inside must be extraordinary.
Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Xiao Feifei finally opened it.
The next moment, everyone was captivated by what was inside.
It was a string of exquisite necklaces, composed of dozens of pure white pearls strung together. Each pearl was round, full, and lustrous.
Under the light, the dozens of pearls sparkled together, appearing even more mysterious and beautiful.
The women around them gasped in admiration at the beautiful pearls.
"Wow, this, this pearl necklace is so beautiful!"
"So many pearls, and each one is so beautiful. This must be very expensive!"
"Wow, Miss Xiao Feifei, I'm suddenly so envious of you! If I could receive such a gift, I think I'd be overjoyed!"
Chen Xi, He Qian, and the others exclaimed in admiration and envy upon seeing the necklace.
It had to be said that jewelry held immense allure for women.
Even the young ladies Zhou Lingyu and Zhao Feiyan leaned in to admire it with great interest. However, after a careful look, Zhou Lingyu frowned and asked, "It's quite beautiful. How much did it cost?"
"Not expensive, not expensive. Just a little over 1.5 million!" Tang Zhiyang boasted proudly.
Upon hearing the price, Xiao Feifei immediately shook her head. "Over 1.5 million? This, this is too precious! I, I can't accept it!"
Although Xiao Feifei liked the necklace very much – after all, what woman didn't appreciate beauty? – she didn't like Tang Zhiyang, and the gift was indeed a bit too valuable for her to accept.
"Don't want it? I specifically collected wild pearls from various places and had this custom-made for you. How can you not want it?" Tang Zhiyang said urgently.
"Heh heh!"
However, after he finished speaking, Ye Feng and Zhou Lingyu beside him let out a simultaneous scoff of disdain.
Then, the two of them froze for a moment, exchanged a glance, and smiled at each other with great understanding.
This, however, displeased Tang Zhiyang. He glanced at the two of them and then looked at Ye Feng, saying, "You stinking fisherman, what are you laughing at?"
Zhou Lingyu was also from one of the four great families, and he didn't dare to offend her. But Ye Feng, a mere stinking fisherman, dared to mock him, which was unbearable.
"Ahem, do you really want me to say?" Ye Feng asked Tang Zhiyang seriously.
This question made Tang Zhiyang feel guilty, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "Say, say what? If you have the guts, then say it!"
Seeing this, Ye Feng immediately picked up the water on the table and rinsed his mouth. "Your pearl necklace isn't worth 1.5 million at all. It's not even worth 500,000, let alone the decimal point!"
Hearing this, Tang Zhiyang's body trembled, and he quickly retorted, "You, you're talking nonsense!"
"Am I talking nonsense? While I don't know exactly how much you paid for it, it's definitely not more than 500,000. Also, those pearls aren't wild, they're cultured..." Ye Feng said calmly.
Today, Ye Feng had spent almost a whole day in a jewelry store. Tang Yan and Master Yu had introduced him to a lot of knowledge related to jewelry, including how to distinguish between cultured and wild pearls.
Tang Zhiyang's face turned extremely ugly upon hearing this, his eyes flashing with cold light as he said sternly, "Kid, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Otherwise, you'll have to take responsibility..."
