After more than half an hour later, almost everyone had presented their gifts to the old lady. Although not all gifts were expensive, they were far from cheap either, since most did not cost less than 200,000 bucks.
It was worth mentioning that Elsa’s gift was also very noteworthy.
They were a pair of jadeite bracelets, of which the quality could be described as flawless. Its beauty was beyond words.
After seeing it, Grandmother Lyndon loved it so much and praised Elsa repeatedly. After receiving the jadeite bracelets, Grandmother Lyndon said to everyone, "By the way, Elsa is the eldest among our Lyndon family’s younger generation and is very caring. She doesn't have a boyfriend at the moment, so if any of you want to propose marriage, please be my guest. Of course, those who want to do so can’t be stubborn and obstreperous. After all, if you want to be her husband, you must be husband material."
Elsa's complexion turned red from blushing at the old lady’s words. Many of the guests who were present there felt tempted already.
Elsa was beautiful and occupied a high status in the Lyndon family. She was virtually on the goddess level.
At that moment, Elsa was seated beside Darryl because the seats for the birthday banquet were all arranged according to hierarchy. One could consider Darryl a lucky man to be sandwiched between two gorgeous ladies, with Lily sitting on his right and Elsa on his left.
Darryl had nodded to himself when she took out and gifted the bracelet earlier.
"This bracelet is interesting," Darryl seemed to be muttering to himself, "Ice Green Lao Hang Imperial Jade. Good stuff."
Ice Green Lao Hang Imperial Jade was the name of a rare and exquisite jadeite. It was naturally made of the finest quality, highly translucent, highly smoothed in texture, delicate to the touch, and strikingly attractive. The bracelets were estimated to cost no less than 400,000 bucks.
Elsa was seated when she heard Darryl’s mutter. Her eyebrows furrowed and she could not help but turn to look at him.
She and Darryl were people of two worlds, as she was an exalted goddess while he was a poor live-in son-in-law. She realized she had never spoken to him before since he 'married' into the Lyndon family.
At that point, however, Elsa could not resist asking in curiosity, "You know that it’s an Ice Green Lao Hang Imperial Jade?”
Elsa was very surprised. No one in the Lyndon family except Darryl had recognized the jadeite bracelets and its origins.
He nodded and asked, "How much did you spend on the bracelets?"
"Six hundred thousand," Elsa replied.
Darryl shook his head. "It’s overpriced. It’s at most valued at just over 400,000 bucks."
"Why?"
Elsa's curiosity was piqued. The bracelets had been sold to her by a close friend who claimed to have not made any profit from the sale.
Darryl explained in a low voice, "There are several factors to consider when evaluating a piece of imperial jade: purity, color, texture, and uniformity. Your bracelet is satisfactory in the first three criteria, but the problem lies in its uniformity. The color distribution is not even, and the market price is about four hundred and fifty thousand. If you bought it from an acquaintance, then it should sell for four hundred thousand at most. If it exceeds that price, then the person has made a profit from you."
Elsa stared at Darryl without blinking!
