"Mom, what you did just now will only embarrass Sister Tang Yao. You can't do this again in the future." Shang Xiaoqin said, "Even if you thank me, it can't be solved by kneeling down."
Shang's mother scratched her head a little embarrassed and said: "Xiaoqin, can't Mom think of any other good ideas? The Su family is a well-known big family in Jincheng and has a lot of wealth, so the family is lacking in everything. We Just an ordinary family, give money? The Su family doesn't like it, and they buy gifts. They can't afford anything too expensive and they are embarrassed to give it, so after thinking about it, they have no choice but to kneel down to express their sincerity. "
After saying that, she looked at Tang Yao: "Tang Yao, what Auntie did just now was a little childish, but it was definitely sincere. Don't laugh."
"Aunt Shang, no, I know you only want Xiaoqin's good, but you can't do this again, otherwise everyone will be embarrassed." Tang Yao said: "Jiahao is my younger brother, and Xiaoqin is my future younger brother and sister-in-law. I am still pregnant with the first grandson of the Tang family, and it is impossible not to save them both emotionally and rationally."
"I know, but I still want to thank you so that you can feel the sincerity of the merchant." Shang's mother turned to look at Shang's father: "Honey, take the heirloom of our merchant and give it as a thank you gift. To Tang Yao."
Father Shang came over quickly and took out something wrapped in a red cloth strip from his trouser pocket. He opened it layer by layer, and it turned out to be a very crystal clear jade bracelet.
Shang's mother picked it up and said: "Tang Yao, this is a jade bracelet that has been passed down from Shang's ancestors for hundreds of years. It is only passed down to the wife and not to the son. If you rescue Xiaoqin, we have nothing in return, so we just want to give this bracelet to you." You, but I’m afraid you won’t look down on me like this, so…”
"Aunt Shang, thank you very much for your concern for me, but this gift is too expensive and I can't accept it." Tang Yao pushed the bracelet back, "You guys keep it and give it to Xiaoqin when she gets married. ”
Mother Shang looked at Tang Yao at a loss, and said dryly: "Is this bracelet a little too shabby?"
Tang Yao shook her head: "Aunt Shang, don't get me wrong. This bracelet is first-class in terms of workmanship, color and material. If I'm not wrong, it should be from the Ming Dynasty. It can be said to be genuine. Antiques, put them up for sale at auction, and if you meet someone who understands them and likes to collect them, the price will start at at least five million, which is still a conservative estimate, so I can't accept it."
"Five... five million?" Shang's mother was so surprised that she almost rolled her tongue. She thought it was just an ordinary bracelet that was passed down from generation to generation and had some commemorative significance. Unexpectedly...
Tang Yao asked Shang's mother to put the bracelet away: "Aunt Shang, you don't have to be so polite to me, otherwise you will treat me like an outsider. I live in the Su family, and Leng Mo often auctions these bracelets at auctions. Give me the jade pendant and so on." I don’t know how many of them are on my dressing table. If you give this to me, I’ll just put it in a box. It’s a bit wasteful. You might as well give it to Xiaoqin.”
"Can… "
"Nothing is wrong. If you want to exchange money for Xiaoqin, I can also ask Leng Mo to find a reliable auction house to conduct the auction. The money will be directly transferred into your account, and half of it will be used as pension money for you. , half of it can be given to Xiaoqin."
Shang's mother looked confused. She had never thought that an ordinary jade bracelet could be worth five million at auction. This was seriously beyond her scope of knowledge. She felt that the world of rich people was really It's hard to understand.
Shang Xiaoqin has been with Huo Qisheng for many years. She is not a little girl without any social experience. Of course, she recognizes that the jade bracelet in Shang's mother's hand is not an ordinary thing. As Tang Yao said, if it is put up for sale at an auction, it may be returned. It can fetch a price of tens of millions. I didn't expect that an ordinary businessman could have something so affordable.
Of course she is passionate about money and wants to keep this bracelet as her own, but...
"Sister Tang Yao, just accept it. This is my mother's heart and mine." Shang Xiaoqin said, "I actually want to repay you, but I don't have much savings, and I don't have the money to buy expensive gifts." , now you say that the jade bracelet in my mother’s hand is quite expensive, and it’s just the right gift for you.”
Tang Yao raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, and said with a smile: "Aunt Shang, Uncle Shang, you stay here to chat with Xiaoqin and Jiahao. I'll go to the kitchen to see if the cook has prepared the meal according to my instructions." After that, She turned and left directly.
"Tang Yao, you..." Shang's mother wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Shang's father: "Honey, okay, I told you not to take out the things. I kept thanking you. We were already very close to each other, but you thanked me for everything. Born."
Shang's mother looked at him suspiciously: "Is it wrong for me to thank you?"
"That's right, but if you thank them too much, you will look more mature. If someone doesn't want to accept it, don't chase after them and force them to accept it. The Su family has a big business and has seen all kinds of good things. A jade bracelet like ours, They all look shabby.”
"Can… "
"When people say five million, that's to give you face. Do you really think such a broken bracelet is worth five million? If it's really worth so much, does the merchant still belong to an ordinary family?"
“…”
Shang's mother sighed quietly and put the bracelet back shyly.
They would also feel inferior in front of a wealthy family, and they would not be able to find any excuse to express their gratitude.
"Jiahao, please tell me if you can tell your sister that we are sincerely grateful to her."
"Dad, Mom, don't take it to heart. My sister won't care about this. If you really insist on thanking her, it will make her uncomfortable."
Tang Jiahao took off the oxygen mask and said a little uncomfortable.
Mother Shang thought for a moment and sighed, "Okay, I'm just worrying too much."
Shang Xiaoqin held Shang's mother's hand: "Mom, you are overthinking it. Sister Tang Yao is a good person. Although she is the young mistress of the Su family, she has no airs at all. Just look at the things she bought for our family and the gifts she gave us. , I don’t mean to look down on the merchant at all. If you only want to thank me, it will be too unreasonable."
"I know, I just want to repay you, and I don't want to make things worse." Shang's mother scratched her hair in annoyance and said.
Shang Xiaoqin gently shook Shang's mother's hand: "Mom, look, you are thinking too much. Sister Tang Yao is not such a stingy person. She made excuses to go out because she didn't want to receive such an expensive gift. Although A few million dollars is a small amount of money to her, but it is a huge sum of money to a businessman, and many people will not be able to make this amount of money in their lifetime."
Shang's mother thought for a while, nodded and said, "I know."
Tang Yao came in after being out for nearly an hour and a half, and said with a smile: "Aunt Shang, Uncle Shang, you can go to dinner, and we can also discuss the wedding of Jiahao and Xiaoqin at the table. Previously, the wedding date was given up because of something about the Su family. It’s been delayed, and I actually feel quite guilty. It’s just a good time for everyone to get together and watch it again.”
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Shang's mother didn't have any objections: "Xiaoqin's belly is getting bigger day by day. This wedding should really be put on the agenda, otherwise the neighbors will always make innuendoes. Asked, my wife and I always hesitated and couldn't give an exact time, and they thought Xiaoqin and Jiahao had broken up."
After saying that, Shang's mother realized that what she said was no different from complaining, and hurriedly explained: "Tang Yao, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you went back on your word, I just... forget it, Xiaoqin is my only daughter, after all, I am still afraid that she will have a bad life, so I am worried about this and that. In addition, she and Jiahao were kidnapped. During this period, your uncle and I were like people drowning in the sea, floating up and down. These two children were finally rescued, and I hope they can get married and have children, and that the family of three will be harmonious and smooth, without any further obstacles."
Tang Yao smiled and said: "Aunt Shang, I understand what you mean. Let's go to the restaurant to eat first. Xiaoqin stays in the room with Jiahao. A servant will bring them food soon."
"Okay." Shang's mother had no objection.
Shang Xiaoqin sent them to the door and said obediently: "Dad, Mom, you and Sister Tang Yao have a good meal, and don't say anything to embarrass her."
"I know, you kid, are your father and I such unreasonable people?" Shang's mother glanced at Shang Xiaoqin and said.
Shang Xiaoqin giggled like a harmless child. After the people walked away, her face suddenly dropped, and the evil look in her eyes flashed past, but disappeared again when she turned around and entered the house. There was no trace of him, and a decent smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
"Jiahao, we are getting married, I'm happy." Sitting on the edge of the bed, Shang Xiaoqin grabbed Tang Jiahao's hand and made no secret of her happiness.
Tang Jiahao also smiled, and some color returned to his pale lips: "When I get better, we will get the marriage certificate and hold the wedding." As he said that, he covered Shang Xiaoqin's little hand with his backhand, feeling guilty Said: "Xiaoqin, you have suffered a lot of grievances during this period. It's my fault. I solemnly apologize to you."
"Nonsense again. What's wrong with being with you?" Shang Xiaoqin smiled brightly. Even the injuries on her face did not affect how touching she was in Tang Jiahao's heart. "Jiahao, I feel very I'm lucky to meet you and Sister Tang Yao, you are both very kind to me."
Tang Jiahao was very moved, and he didn't care so much about Shang Xiaoqin's incident with Gao. It could even be said that Shang Xiaoqin was able to risk his life for him, which meant that he loved him to the bone. If he still doubts her sincerity, it is because of the bastard and beast.
"Xiaoqin, don't worry. From now on, I will use my life to protect you and our children from being bullied by others."
"Okay, this is what you said, you can't go back on it, otherwise I will be really sad."
"Don't worry, time will prove whether what I said is true."
Shang Xiaoqin leaned in Tang Jiahao's arms with attachment, interlocking with him, but there was no warmth at all in her eyes.
