Stepdaughter of a wealthy family? The little darling of a Beijing tycoon

Upon hearing this, Old Master Mo immediately smiled and agreed: "Then I will hold a banquet in a few days to officially announce to the public that you are my Mo family's granddaughter."

Shen Jingshu shook her head slightly upon hearing this, her tone light and easy: "Grandpa, there's no need to announce it to the public."

Old Master Mo was taken aback, somewhat puzzled: "Why not announce it?"

"I don't like socializing, nor do I enjoy being ostentatious or noisy," Shen Jingshu said calmly. "We know this in our hearts; there's no need for outsiders to know."

Seeing her resolute attitude, Old Master Mo did not force her and immediately compromised: "Alright, alright, whatever you say. Everything will be done according to your wishes."

He paused for a moment, then earnestly instructed, "However, in a few days, the Mo family will be holding their first banquet since returning to the country. It will be the most important banquet for the Mo family this year, and all the top wealthy families in Beijing will be there. You are now practically a member of the Mo family, so you must come."

"Okay," Shen Jingshu replied.

This banquet was the first formal event for the Mo family upon their return to the core circle of Beijing, gathering all the city's elites, so her attendance was perfectly reasonable.

"Then I'll head back now," Shen Jingshu said, getting up to say goodbye.

"Won't you stay for a simple meal?" Old Master Mo quickly urged.

"No, Grandpa, I have some things to take care of."

Seeing that she was determined to leave, Old Master Mo did not try to keep her any longer. He turned to Mo Hanzhou, who was standing to the side, and instructed him, "Hanzhou, take your sister back."

"No need to trouble yourself," Shen Jingshu politely declined.

Mo Hanzhou looked at her and naturally corrected her tone: "No need to be so polite. You don't need to call me President Mo anymore. You should call me Big Brother."

Shen Jingshu paused slightly, then changed her words accordingly: "Thank you, elder brother."

The atmosphere in the car on the return trip was quiet and peaceful. The two remained silent the whole way, but there was no awkwardness.

As they approached the school and the car was about to come to a complete stop, Mo Hanzhou suddenly turned around, his expression solemn, and said sincerely, "Jing Shu, thank you."

Shen Jingshu raised her eyes slightly, a hint of doubt in them.

"Thank you for agreeing to Grandpa's request," Mo Hanzhou explained softly.

Shen Jingshu suddenly realized, and replied with a faint smile: "As a cultivator, I follow my heart and nature. Grandpa Mo is gentle and sincere, and we get along well. It has nothing to do with profit or loss, and there is no question of him deliberately pleasing anyone."

Mo Hanzhou was incredibly intelligent; he understood immediately and naturally comprehended her clear-headedness and composure.

He said no more, raised his hand and took out an exquisite and luxurious jewelry box, handing it to her: "Since you call me elder brother, this is my gift to you for our family reunion."

Shen Jingshu looked at the gift box, already accustomed to the way elders and brothers gave gifts, and understood the situation perfectly.

People from wealthy families are used to expressing their gratitude with lavish gifts, so she was no surprise and accepted them without any pretense: "Thank you, elder brother."

She didn't open it to check on the spot, but carefully put it away by her side.

When the car arrived at the gate of Peking University, Shen Jingshu said goodbye, got out of the car, and went straight back to her dormitory on campus.

She won't go back to the Li family today; she has classes tomorrow, so staying at school is more convenient.

At this time, her other three roommates were all out and had not yet returned, so the room was quiet. Shen Jingshu casually placed the jewelry box that Mo Hanzhou had given her on the corner of her desk, then turned and went into the bathroom to wash up.

When she came out of the bathroom, her three roommates had already returned together.

Upon entering, the sharp-eyed Xu Zhixia immediately noticed the exquisitely crafted, high-end jewelry box on the desk, which looked incredibly valuable.

She strode forward, her eyes full of curiosity: "Jing Shu, did you just bring this box back? I've never seen it before."

"Yes, someone gave it to me today," Shen Jingshu replied casually.

"Wow, just looking at the quality of this gift box makes it look incredibly luxurious!" The other two roommates also gathered around, their eyes full of envy. "Come on, open it and see! We're so curious about what treasures are inside!"

Shen Jingshu smiled helplessly and picked up the box: "If you want to see it, open it and take a look. I haven't seen it yet either."

As she spoke, she gently lifted the lid of the box.

The box is lined with delicate, pure white high-end velvet, and a complete set of high-end imperial green jadeite jewelry is quietly displayed inside—bracelets, pendants, earrings, and rings are all included.

The entire piece is uniformly rich in color, with a translucent and lustrous appearance. The texture is flawless and warm. Each piece is a top-grade icy imperial green jadeite. They are perfectly matched and form a complete set, exuding luxury, grandeur, and nobility. At first glance, they are priceless heirlooms.

In an instant, the entire dormitory was completely stunned.

Even Shen Jingshu herself looked at the complete set of flawless jade jewelry in the box and a clear look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

She had assumed that the imperial green bracelet left by her grandmother, which Old Master Mo had given her, was an extremely valuable and unique heirloom, so she carefully stored it in her own space.

But she never expected that her newly recognized older brother, Mo Hanzhou, would be so generous and magnanimous.

The entire set of jade jewelry in front of me is of the highest quality in terms of texture, color, and transparency. Its quality is only slightly inferior to the old man's ancestral bracelet. The set is complete and each piece is exquisite. Its rarity and value are in no way inferior to ordinary treasures, and its preciousness is beyond imagination.

Xu Zhixia, who was standing to the side, was a heiress from a wealthy family. She had been exposed to all kinds of jewelry and jade since childhood and had a sharp and accurate eye for them.

At just one glance, she was completely stunned, her pupils contracted slightly, and her face was filled with disbelief and amazement.

Xu Zhixia gazed at the shimmering set of jade in the box, then turned to look at Shen Jingshu, her eyes filled with shock.

"Jing Shu, who exactly gave you this set of jewelry? They're incredibly generous." She swallowed, her tone incredulous. "Just the quality and condition of this whole set is probably worth tens of millions."

"Tens of millions?!"

Upon hearing the words "tens of millions," Song Ran and Lin Miaomiao both gasped in shock, their eyes widening in disbelief.

They come from ordinary families and their daily consumption levels are very ordinary. Tens of millions of dollars are simply an astronomical figure that is out of reach for them and they don't even dare to dream about it.

The two of them froze on the spot, staring blankly at the set of lustrous jade jewelry on the table, not daring to breathe, their hearts filled with utter shock.

In contrast, Shen Jingshu, the person involved, remained calm and composed, her face showing no emotion whatsoever, neither surprise nor joy.

It wasn't that she was being pretentious or looking down on money; rather, she had traveled extensively with her master, experiencing the world and had long been accustomed to its treasures.

Her master used to practice medicine and save countless reclusive nobles and wealthy merchants. Those who held high positions and possessed great wealth valued their own health and life most. To repay the kindness of saving their lives and curing their illnesses, they were always extremely generous, never hesitating to spend rare treasures and priceless items.

Over the years, she had become accustomed to all kinds of precious jewelry, which is why she was so calm and composed when faced with Mo Hanzhou's set of jade jewelry worth tens of millions of yuan.
