Chapter 898 - 898 The Mysterious Bowl

898 The Mysterious Bowl

As soon as Qin Man opened the gift box, she peered right inside. Her heart was racing in her chest and her lips were curled in anticipation.

If the gift was valuable, it would wash away all the grievances she had suffered today.

She would be remembered as something else.

Her heart was filled with so much hope. However, when her gaze landed on the piece inside the box, her heart immediately skipped a beat.

What kind of gift was this?

What kind of general was he?

Inside the gift box was a green ceramic bowl. The bowl wasn’t even in good condition, given that it had been covered in crazy lines and obvious cracks.

It looked like it had just been picked up from a trash can.

Thinking of this shabby gift, Qin Man’s face flashed with disdain. However, when she thought of everyone’s watchful gaze, her stomach stirred.

How could he send this trash over?

If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have opened the gift!

It was really embarrassing.

Qin Man was about to close the lid, but it was already too late.

Someone had already seen it.

“Oh my god!” someone had exclaimed from the back. “It’s the Ming Dynasty’s Chenghua Bowl.”

Many infatuated historians squeezed through the crowd, regarding the host with shining eyes. “That’s priceless,” they whispered amongst each other. “You can’t acquire it even if you want to.”

Qin Man quickly opened the box even wider.

As soon as she had revealed the gift, there was a series of gasps echoing across the room. Everyone’s envious gazes were on the box.

They wanted to touch it, and feel the priceless treasure in their hands, but they were unable to do so.

“Oh my god, it can’t be…”

“Someone’s actually willing to give that treasure away?”

“This is something that could be given to a royal family. How could they be willing to part with such a priceless bowl?”

“It’s actually the real thing!”

“The pattern and the green glaze make it appear even more majestic. Even the museum wouldn’t have something like this!”

They all examined the gift, gazing in surprise and wonder.

Qin Man’s anxious heart finally relaxed. At least she was no longer the laughingstock.

Her gift wasn’t bad at all.

See? Let’s see if these snobbish people would dare look down on them again!

Her lips twitched.

As she was opening the box, she saw that there was a greeting card inside.

The card was wrapped in lace, making it appear quite exquisite.

Qin Man slowly pulled it out of the box.

With this card, she’d know who this was from.

Thinking about the glory that the Yao Family would attain, she didn’t even bother to ask her mother-in-law for permission. She tore the envelope open and was about to read it out loud.

Everyone would know that they had ties in the military!

Out of respect for the General, they’d surely make way for them.

“The greeting card!” Old Madam Yao was about to take it to stop her.

However, Qin Man was in such a hurry that she quickly gazed over the piece of paper.

She couldn’t care less about the old woman.

“Dear Grandma Yao…”

Suddenly, she paused.

If the man was really a general, wouldn’t this message appear quite intimate? What was really the relationship between the two?

Could it be that the gift wasn’t given through military connections?

But rather through familial ties?

Everyone thought of this person’s identity as they all glanced over at each other. They all wished they could have a tie to the general themselves.
