Seeing the "meticulously" prepared gift being handed over to Xiao Yao, Shui Youmeng smiled with a hint of smug disdain, saying, "Miss Xiao, why don't you open it and see if you're satisfied?"
At first, everyone looked at the smiling Shui Youmeng, thinking she was genuinely celebrating Xiao Yao's birthday. But as she spoke, her tone changed, and those present weren't fools; they'd guessed that Shui Youmeng was here to cause trouble, and the gift she gave Xiao Yao was sent with malicious intent.
Xiao Yao's grandmother stepped forward to defend her, "Miss Shui, can't the engagement gift wait to be opened after the engagement party? Opening it now seems rather impolite!" Her tone also aimed to smooth things over since the other party was a daughter of a noble family, and it wouldn't be good to directly accuse her.
