Zhou Lingyu nodded immediately, "Mr. Ye is right!"
After speaking, she picked up the phone, but just as she was about to dial, Tang Zhiyang suddenly roared.
"No need to call! That's right, I lied! This thing didn't cost one point five million, it actually only cost three hundred and fifty thousand!" Tang Zhiyang said, burying his head and gritting his teeth.
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng immediately laughed, "Haha, you finally admit it! As expected of the eldest young master of the Tang family, spending three hundred and fifty thousand to buy a gift for his fiancée but claiming it was one point five million. This move... tsk tsk, impressive, truly impressive, hahaha!"
Seeing Ye Feng's loud mockery, Tang Zhiyang became even more enraged. He almost roared as he rebuked, "What are you laughing at? No matter what, what I sent is worth hundreds of thousands, what right do you have to laugh?"
At this moment, Qin Hao, that lapdog, immediately chimed in, "That's right, although what Young Master Tang sent isn't worth over a million, it's still three hundred and fifty thousand, which is probably the highest here. What right do you have to mock Young Master Tang?"
With Qin Hao, of course, Du Haojie couldn't be absent. "Exactly, Young Master Tang's gift is worth hundreds of thousands at least, and you don't seem to have brought a gift at all! How dare you mock Young Master Tang like this?"
Chen Xi, He Qian, and the others heard this and thought carefully, suddenly realizing that Ye Feng actually hadn't brought a gift.
In an instant, they all looked at Ye Feng with disdain and began to criticize him verbally.
"Attending someone's birthday party without even bringing a gift, how shameless!"
"Exactly, a freeloading fisherman actually has the nerve to mock others!"
"The thickness of this skin is almost as thick as the Great Wall..."
Xiao Feifei, who was beside them, saw this and was about to step forward to help Ye Feng out, but Ye Feng stopped her with a gesture.
He glanced dismissively at those who were speaking and said faintly, "Who said I didn't bring a gift?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
"What? Did you actually bring a gift?" Tang Zhiyang asked with a disdainful smile.
Ye Feng nodded, "That's right! I actually did bring a gift!"
Qin Hao laughed heartily upon hearing this, "Oh really? Then why don't you take it out? Could it be that the gift is too vulgar to be presented?"
"Does this even need to be asked? What high-end gift could a little fisherman like him bring? If he could bring something presentable, he would have shown it off long ago!" Du Haojie also stepped forward and said.
Zhao Feiyan and Zhou Lingyu watched this scene without speaking, but looked at Ye Feng curiously, seemingly wanting to know what gift Ye Feng had brought.
Ye Feng looked at the smug and mocking expressions of Du Haojie and the others, and slowly reached into his pocket, taking out a small black cloth bag.
"My gift isn't exactly a high-end gift, but it's still tens of times better than yours!" Ye Feng said, placing the cloth bag on the table.
Tang Zhiyang and the others were startled by this, wondering if Ye Feng had really brought a valuable gift.
However, when they saw the black cloth bag Ye Feng took out, they all burst into laughter.
Everyone else's packaging was exquisite and clearly indicated high quality and sophistication.
But what was Ye Feng's? A broken cloth bag, it looked like it couldn't be presented on the table.
"Ye Feng, is this the gift you said was tens of times better than ours? You're killing me!"
"Haha! What kind of gift are you giving! It's wrapped in a tattered black cloth bag, could it be dirt inside!"
"Dirt? It might even be dog poop!"
Tang Zhiyang and the other two mocked as they saw Ye Feng's shabby cloth bag.
It seemed that at this moment, they finally had something to attack Ye Feng with, and they felt incredibly pleased.
Indeed, Ye Feng's packaging was very crude, but what did that have to do with his gift? Who said good gifts must have good packaging?
Ye Feng listened to their mocking words with a calm expression, still looking at them and saying, "Never mind my packaging, the gift is better than yours anyway!"
"Oh? Is that so? Then why don't you take it out and show us what a gift tens of times better than ours looks like?"
"Exactly, anyone can brag! The point is the gift, hurry up and take it out!"
"What good gift can be in a tattered cloth bag? And you dare to claim it's tens of times better than ours, it's truly laughable..."
As the saying goes, a good horse needs a good saddle. What good gift could be in a tattered cloth bag?
At this moment, Ye Feng opened the cloth bag, reached inside, and slowly took out the gift under everyone's mocking gaze.
The moment that thing appeared, everyone's laughter instantly stopped, and the whole world seemed to fall silent.
Ye Feng held a necklace in his hand. This necklace was not as dazzling and flashy as Tang Zhiyang's.
The entire necklace consisted of a small silver chain, a blue gemstone, and a lustrous pearl.
The silver chain was snake-like, interlinked, delicate and beautiful; the gemstone was rhombic, encased in silver metal, and inlaid with tiny diamonds around the edges, giving a feeling of being surrounded by stars.
Below the rhombic gemstone was a large pearl. This pearl was golden yellow throughout, round and full, smooth and translucent, and as large as a finger... it was the finishing touch to the entire necklace.
These simple three components made the entire necklace appear elegantly noble while also exuding an unfathomable sense of mystery.
This necklace, composed of just three simple items, captured the attention of everyone present.
However, in the next second, a discordant burst of laughter rang out, "Hahaha, Ye Feng, did you pick this up from a street stall? You're actually presenting such a fake?"
The speaker was Qin Hao. He pointed at Ye Feng's large pearl and burst into laughter.
Tang Zhiyang then reacted and said, "That's right, such a large pearl, it's simply as fake as it can get!"
"Damn it, it's fake! I was actually shocked for a moment!" Du Haojie exclaimed after realizing.
When others heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Ye Feng rolled his eyes at the three of them and said, "Fake? Does large mean fake?"
"What? Do you really think yours is real? This pearl of yours has a diameter of over 20mm at a glance. It seems that no jewelry store in Dongchuan City has pearls of 20mm!" Tang Zhiyang sneered.
Ye Feng smiled upon hearing this, "Just because those jewelry stores don't have it, does that mean mine is fake?"
"You really are a pig that's not afraid of boiling water! Miss Zhou, you're the expert, tell him if this is real or fake!" Tang Zhiyang said to Zhou Lingyu beside him.
At this moment, Zhou Lingyu was staring blankly at the necklace in Ye Feng's hand, and trembling, she said, "This, this is real..."
