Chapter 1160
After understanding her father''s meaning, Momo yed along with him immediately and said,
"Grandpa, Fade is a good friend of mine. You wouldn''t mind if I brought him here to have some fun,
right?"
L and Yuki wanted to say something at this time, but Egbert spoke up right then so that they had
no chance to interrupt.
He chuckled and said, "Of course, your friend cane and hang out any time."
Momo''s expression became more excited when she heard what Egbert was saying as she felt a
glimmer of hope. She nced at Fade and then smiled, saying, "Grandpa, Fade brought some gifts
along too."
With that said, Fade came out with gifts, "It''s really nothing."
With that, he handed the gifts. When the Soo family members saw the gifts, they let out cries of
surprise instantly.
"This jade pendant is made of ss. It''s worth more than 100,000 yuan at least!"
"This ancient sword is my most favorite type. Well, not bad!"
"This jade finger is an ancient gadget. It''s worth at least 200,000 yuan!"
Suddenly, the surprised discussion turned into one of curiosity and astonishment for Fade. Of
course, voices of doubt were indispensable too.
"Fade is quite wealthy, isn''t he? He is so generous."
"Haha, is this called wealthy? Does he think that we, the Soo family, are short of this sum of
money?"
"This dude has put in a lot of effort. He has chosen everything we like."
"These things were chosen by Momo, obviously. Perhaps it is Momo who paid for it, what''s so
exciting about that?"
"It looks like this dude is not bad!"
"Did he buy you off with just a gift? Don''t be so cheap!"
Seeing the discussion of the Soo family members on the scene, Somoset became a little
discontented. He coughed and said sternly, "Don''t ept others'' gifts casually. Otherwise, outsiders
might think that we are greedy for money!"
After he said this, many Soo family members, who were ying with the gifts excitedly, put the gifts
down hurriedly. Their expressions were solemn. Some of them even did not dare to ept the gifts.
However, Egbert waved his hand and said lightly, "Somoset, it''s fine since the gifts are Fade''s token
of goodwill. Let them ept it!"
Since he had already said so, Somoset naturally stopped saying anything.
Momo was even more content. She gestured to Fade, who took out a few important gifts and gave
them to important figures like Ernest and Somoset.
Compared with the gifts just now, these gifts were obviously more valuable.
Ernest epted the gift with a smile on his face, while Somoset and L had on a straight face,
looking extremely discontent. After receiving the gifts, they put it aside and looked scornful.
However, Fade didn''t expect them to like it, and neither did he care. Instead, he focused on thest
and most important gift - he took out Einstein Zheng''s calligraphy painting.
At this time, Momo showed the painting to Egbert with a smile on her face, "Grandpa, Fade heard
that you like antique calligraphy painting, so he specially got you a calligraphy painting in hopes that
you like it."
After speaking, Fade presented the calligraphy painting to him. Egbert did not receive it personally.
Instead, he ordered his servant to take it and disy it directly on the spot.
When the servant disyed the calligraphy painting in front of everyone, there was a burst of
exmation on the scene.
"This... This is Einstein Zheng''s calligraphy painting."
"Looking at the markings on the painting, it seems to be real!"
"This is a big splurge. The genuine Einstein''s calligraphy paintings are worth at least hundreds of
millions of yuan!"
"Master Egbert likes Einstein Zheng very much. This dude has really put in a lot of effort this time!"
With such a big splurge, even Somoset and Ernest, who did not think kindly of Fade, had a look of
surprise on their faces at this moment.

"Is this really Einstein''s calligraphy painting?"
"It''s worth hundreds of millions of yuan. Is this brat really that wealthy?"
Yuki murmured in a displeased manner, "Why are all of you so surprised? Who knows if it''s genuine
or not?"
Momo and Fade ignored all these strange words and gazes at this time and only looked at Egbert.
Momo beamed and said, "Grandpa, you like antique calligraphy painting the most. Please ept
this gift!"
Egbert, who had always had a smile at the corners of his mouth before, found his expression falling
a little when heid eyes on the painting. He did not ept the painting and said, "I can''t ept
this, this calligraphy painting is too valuable. Fade, you should take it back."
Fade was a little startled. Momo exined hurriedly, "Grandpa, Fade picked up this calligraphy
painting during a great sale. It only cost 25 million yuan. It''s not too expensive, so just ept it."
Before Egbert could say another word, the people around were riled up again when they heard this.
"It turns out that it was on bargain. No wonder! And here I thought how generous he would be to
spend billions on such a valuable painting!"
"Truthfully speaking though, 25 million yuan is not a small sum of money either!" "Hah, they say
they got this painting with 25 million yuan and you believe it just like that? Perhaps he only spent
two thousand and five hundred yuan to get it. Besides, Einstein''s calligraphy painting is worth
hundreds of millions of yuan only if it''s genuine. But now, I can''t be sure if this painting is the actual
thing or not!"
"True! How can this dude have such the luck to pick up such a big bargain anyways!"
"What about the gifts that he gave us before? Won''t they be..."
For a while, the good impression created by giving the gifts just now turned into doubt and
spection about Fade.
Momo didn''t expect a single sentence she said would overturn the situation like this. She became a
little anxious in an instant and exined, "Grandpa, this calligraphy painting is genuine. When we
found it, everyone at the scene said..."
Egbert waved his hand and interrupted Momo, "Momo, I believe this calligraphy painting is genuine.
It''s just that we can''t ept such a valuable gift!"
As he said, he yawned and said, "I''m exhausted, I''m going to rest."
With that, Somoset helped him walk down from his seat immediately.
Although Momo felt it was a pity, she still walked over and helped Egbert into his room.
Although the act of giving a valuable gift to please the old master eventually failed, things were
going quite well. Momo wanted Fade to stay in the manor for theing few days so that he could
get along with the Soo family members and make them change their attitude towards him.
Therefore, she sent someone to arrange a ce for him to stay.
Just when Momo was about to arrange somewhere for Fade to stay in the Soo Manor, L walked
out and stopped them. She shot Fade a cold face and said, "You can''t stay here, please leave now!"
Upon hearing this, Fade frowned and immediately grew displeased.
Momo asked instantly, "Aunt L, what are you doing? Fade is my friend and our guest. How can
you drive him away?"
L curled her lips and replied, "Momo, you''re an adult. There are some things you should be
aware of. The Soo family has been an honoured family for as long as a century. There are some
rules and customs that cannot be vited."
