() "Yanhui, don't I know that there are traffic jams in your big place like Jian'an? There has been a traffic jam since I got off the expressway."
Xia Nan complained, holding a gift box in his hand, and said, "You also said that you have to drive all the way back from the capital to have fun. That's why it's delayed! But look, I gave it to your dad The longevity Buddha I brought here is carved from a whole piece of jade. Although the jade is only the finest waxy type, it is so big that even if we sell it in our store, it would cost almost 100,000 yuan."
"Who cares about you, a loser? I'll tell you later! You must apologize to my father first, do you understand?"
Although she pretended to be angry, Su Yanhui was still very proud in her heart. The second son of a wealthy merchant family in the capital was made docile by himself, so he was certainly something to be proud of.
"Okay, okay... I will make amends to my father-in-law later, okay? And! Today, Yanhui, have you read the entertainment reports? Our school's senior Yun Yiyi, although she is the eldest daughter of the Yun family in Beijing, originally She is also studying in Jian'an City. She happened to be in Jian'an City these two days. I had already talked to her on the phone before coming here and invited her to come to celebrate your father's birthday. Unexpectedly, she actually agreed. But she will come later. .”
Xia Nan explained with a proud face that when he was at Qingbei University, he was lucky enough to be in the same club as Yun Yiyi. Yun Yiyi was the president of the club at the time. Now he has retired in his junior year, but with the addition of the two The aristocratic family has close contacts, so the relationship between Xia Nan and Yun Yiyi is still good. However, Xia Nan still found it incredible that Yun Yiyi could accept her invitation to sing for her girlfriend's father's birthday, and she felt very proud.
"What? Yun Yiyi? Is that Yun Yiyi who is famous all over the country and sang in Beautiful Zicheng? I am her fan! Xia Nan, you know Yun Yiyi and why haven't you told me?"
Su Yanhui was indeed thoughtful. Although she was a fan of Yun Yiyi, she still heard the mystery behind Xia Nan's words and stared at him and asked.
"I... I was in the same club as Senior Yun at school. Later, her singing career became more and more busy, and we basically haven't met each other. We just have each other's mobile phone numbers." Xia Nan quickly explained.
"Then why did you never tell me? It's not like you don't know that I am a fan of Yun Yiyi. You even accompanied me to Yun Yiyi's concert last time!"
"I'm... I'm not afraid of your jealousy and misunderstanding! This time it happened that Senior Yun was in Jian'an City, and I was surprised that she agreed to come over. We... We are really just ordinary friends."
Bracing her nerves, Xia Nan murmured in her heart, "If it weren't for you, would I have come to this shabby countryside with 18 bends on the road?"
"Hmph! Since you are here to celebrate my dad's birthday, I will spare you this time. If I find out that you are hooking up with other women again, don't blame me for being rude."
Although Su Yanhui looked like a little bird leaning on Xia Nan, in fact, Su Yanhui was a big tigress. Xia Nan knew this very well.
Just like that, holding the gift box, Xia Nan was held by Su Yanhui and walked into the Su family.
"Dad! I'm sorry, we came back late..."
As soon as she entered the living room of her home, which was full of guests, Su Yanhui smiled and pulled her boyfriend Xia Nan to the front main table, and said coquettishly to her father Su Guoguang, "Yanhui misses you."
"You're such a dead girl. You can't live in peace even when you get home, and you still have to play along the way. How about it? Is this the Xia Nan you're talking about?"
Although Su Guoguang was talking about his daughter, anyone could tell from his loving eyes that he did not mean to blame his daughter at all. Instead, he was looking at the follower with sparkling eyes. The young man named Xia Nan is beside his daughter.
"Hello, uncle, my name is Xia Nan, and I am Yanhui's boyfriend. When we first met, I wish my uncle a fiftieth birthday and may he live longer than Nanshan. Our family is in the jewelry and jade business. This longevity Buddha was specially chosen by me. I hope uncle likes it."
Facing Su Guoguang's gaze, Xia Nan didn't feel any pressure at all. He was in the capital and was a child of an aristocratic family, so he still had basic qualities. This kind of scene was a piece of cake for him. Without changing his expression, he opened the gift box in his hand, revealing a palm-sized jade Buddha inside.
"You're a good young man! However, my uncle wouldn't dare to ask for such an expensive gift when we first met..."
Su Guoguang pushed the gifts. He had lived for half his life and was also a discerning person. Although he was not an expert on jade and antiques, this jade Buddha was not cheap at first glance.
"Ah! This is carved from a whole piece of waxy jade, and it is completely natural. Although waxy jade is not as precious as ice and glass, it is difficult to find such a complete jade Buddha in ordinary jade shops. , it’s estimated to cost from fifty to sixty thousand!”
Some of Su Guoguang's friends were knowledgeable and couldn't help but speak out.
In a small city like Jian'an City, a jade Buddha worth fifty to sixty thousand dollars is already considered a luxury item. Not as big as the capital, a glass jade pendant costs millions.
"Fifty or sixty thousand?"
Suddenly, everyone at the table exclaimed. They were all frightened by Xia Nan's generosity. He just came to meet the girl's parents, and it wasn't like they were engaged to get married, but they actually bought a jade Buddha worth fifty or sixty thousand yuan. This made these people very interested in Xia Nan's identity and family background.
"It's okay! Dad, just accept it with peace of mind! I still think this Jade Buddha is too small! In any jade shop in Xia Nan's house, there are many bigger and better-looking Jade Buddhas than this one. You If you don’t like this one, I’ll bring you a bigger one another day.”
The envious looks from the people at the table made Su Yanhui feel very accomplished, feeling that she had found such a rich second-generation boyfriend, and that she had gained face.
"Yes! Uncle, just accept it! If you don't accept it, I will probably be scolded to death by Yanhui again." Xia Nan said half-jokingly, and Xia Nan also observed these relatives of Su Yanhui.
When looking at people, they first looked at their clothes. Xia Nan took a quick glance and found out from the clothes of these people on the scene what their consumption level was. The most expensive clothes were some cheap clothes of state-owned brands. In his opinion, he A designer suit can buy all the clothes on these people.
"Is this Sister Yanhui's boyfriend?"
When Su Lin was glanced at by Xia Nan with a hint of contempt, he always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. I always feel that this person named Xia Nan seems to be quite polite, but there is always something wrong.
Next, naturally, Su Yanhui and her boyfriend stole the limelight of the banquet. Relatives and friends came over one by one to ask about the specific situation of Xia Nan's family. When they learned that Xia Nan's family owned five or six jewelry stores in the capital, and the family's property was worth billions, everyone gasped. , all praised Su Yanhui for finding a good husband.
Su Guoguang naturally enjoyed the praises from relatives and friends with a smile on his face. His daughter had found a boyfriend with excellent conditions, and he also felt that his face had become radiant.
In Xia Nan's mind, she has roughly figured out the situation of Su Yanhui's family. His father was the director of the urban construction bureau of a county-level city, and he could barely make ends meet, but in his opinion, he was still above his own family. However, he had finally managed to catch Su Yanhui, and at the same time, several children from aristocratic families in the capital were pursuing her. Even though Xia Nan's family's jade and jewelry business is so big, he actually doesn't have much pocket money, more than a hundred thousand a month. For Su Yanhui, Xia Nan spent a lot of money. Even this waxy jade Buddha was bought from his own store at cost price for more than 30,000 yuan.
It was also Su Yanhui who had some tricks. At Huaxia Women's University, she relied on her reputation as a college student to hang out in the social circles of wealthy men in the capital, but she was already able to keep her integrity and play with these men. In the end, she fell in love with Xia Nan and felt that the conditions were good in all aspects, so she made up her mind and brought Xia Nan back. Now, amidst the compliments from relatives and friends, I felt that my choice was the right one, and the unhappiness of being late and stuck in traffic was immediately gone.
"Lingling, have you seen that when you look for a boyfriend in the future, you must follow the example of your sister Yanhui and find a family with good conditions. In this way, you can not work all your life and have endless food and drink..."
Taking this opportunity, Han Lingling's mother, Su Lin's sister-in-law Su Jiayu, educated her.
"I don't want it. I don't like that. What's the big deal with money. Hehe, I want to find a boyfriend in the future! I want to find someone who can play with me, such as Brother Xiaolin..."
While others were looking at Xia Nan, Han Lingling squeezed in next to Su Lin's seat with her own small bowl and stool, blinked her big watery eyes, smiled at Su Lin, and said, "Xiao Lin Brother, I’ll eat with you.”
"Lingling, why don't you like sister Yanhui's boyfriend? Look, he is handsome, his family has money, and he seems to be polite and well-educated."
Su Lin looked at his cousin Lingling and asked curiously.
"I don't know. Anyway, I don't like it. I always feel that the way he looks at us, he looks down on us. Anyway, I don't like him like this. I'd better follow Brother Xiao Lin. Brother Xiao Lin, what university are you going to apply for? ! Lingling will definitely go to the same university as you."
Pouting her little mouth, Han Lingling smiled cutely, and Su Lin touched her head. This little cousin has been so clinging to him since she was a child. I don't know what happened. Even though she has grown so big, she still looks like this in front of him. A child who will not grow up.
"Me! I will definitely be admitted to Qingbei University, so Lingling, you have to work hard." Su Lin smiled and said Qingbei University, and immediately saw the disappointed expression on Han Lingling's face.
"Ah? Really go to Qingbei University! Then Lingling can't go to the same school as brother Xiaolin. Lingling is not smart enough to be admitted to Qingbei University."
The index fingers of both hands rubbed each other, Han Lingling looked aggrieved.
"It doesn't matter! Just keep working hard, Lingling. There is still one year. Brother believes in you. As long as you work hard, you will definitely pass the exam. Besides, don't you want me to tell you the secrets? Hehe... As long as you are willing to work hard, brother I will definitely help you.”
Su Lin touched his cousin Lingling's head and thought, at worst, he could come back and help his sister steal the answers again during the college entrance examination next year. Isn't that simple
"Really? Hehe... Brother Xiaolin is the best. With brother Xiaolin helping Lingling, Lingling will definitely be able to do it."
Everyone else focused on Su Yanhui and Xia Nan, but Su Lin was chatting happily with his little cousin Han Lingling. And at this moment, the sound of high heels clicking at the door came to mind, and someone suddenly said: "Mayor Fang, why are you here too?"
Everyone followed the sound and looked toward the door. Su Lin also raised his head and looked over. Sure enough, it was Fang Liping. Moreover, what surprised Su Lin even more was that there was another person following Fang Liping, that is. Her daughter Qin Yanran, who was wearing a floral skirt, saw Su Lin at first sight when she entered the living room. However, she saw Su Lin talking and laughing with a cute girl, and her happy expression immediately changed. Stiffened.
