Shen Mu had made sure to keep the hairpin well-preserved, even wrapping it layer by layer before removing the wrapping only when it was time to present the gift, fearing it might break. But now, the wrapping had been torn off and the hairpin was already broken. How could she present such a gift at the birthday banquet? If the elders of the Huo family had any superstitions, they might think that Shen Mu was cursing them intentionally.
After much consideration, Shen Mu realized that she had nothing else suitable to present. She could only ask the butler to send another gift. She put the box back into her luggage and walked out of the room, feeling uneasy.
