Chapter 290 You Choose One

A dowry of 300 million? How dare he even dream of that!

Huo Huaisui asked, "Do you think I'm worth 300 million?"

Huo Huai'an said gently, "Don't underestimate yourself. In my heart, you are priceless."

Huo Huai Sui looked at him with disdain, "A priceless treasure, for sale?"

Huo Huai'an paused for a moment, then sincerely remarked, "You've suddenly become so smart, it's quite unusual for me."

He was subtly insulting her for being stupid again! Huo Huai Sui endured it, "I'm not talking to you. I'm waiting for Dad to come back so I can borrow from him. If I don't get the house, I'll hang a banner and swear on my head outside your company!"

Huo Huai'an: "..."

Tsk. Who are you trying to scare?

Huo Huai'an watched as the "three hundred million" went upstairs in a huff, and asked again, unwilling to give up, "Really not going to consider it? The large apartment in Lanjiang New City that we won in the lottery is a bare shell. If you agree, I'll give you five million, which is not only enough to pay taxes, but also enough for renovations."

Huo Huai Sui's roar came from upstairs: "No!"

If Huo Huaisui weren't so audacious, he would have just been kicked out.

Rui Rui was thinking about the gift his grandfather had mentioned. After finishing his extracurricular class on Friday, Lu Fengqing and Gu Suixing went to pick him up, and he kept saying he wanted to go see his grandfather.

Lu Fengqing looked on with curiosity, "You like your grandfather that much?"

When facing her mother, Rui Rui was still very honest: "Grandpa gave me a gift."

Lu Fengqing was immediately at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Not bad," Gu Suixing praised.

She's starting to care about her grandfather's things and isn't clinging to her parents anymore; that's quite an achievement.

Gu Suixing called Xie Chaoyin and, after learning that he was still working overtime at the company, took Rui Rui there.

Upon receiving the call, Xie Chaoyin immediately went downstairs with his secretary to wait.

"Grandpa." Rui Rui jumped out of the car with her erhu in her arms and ran towards Xie Chaoyin.

Xie Chaoyin caught him. "Why did you come over tonight?"

Rui Rui sweetly said, "I miss Grandpa."

Xie Chaoyin gently stroked his little nose with her index finger. "You miss Grandpa's gift, don't you?"

Rui Rui: "I miss my grandpa too."

Xie Chaoyin smiled and looked at Lu Fengqing, "I was just about to have someone send those trinkets over to you. Since you're here, you can take them back yourself."

Lu Fengqing felt a little embarrassed and awkward, but she couldn't bear to part with it, and for a moment she didn't know how to react.

She's not stupid. That night when she went to see Gu Suixing, she saw those things at Chaoxing Technology. Later, she and Secretary Liu contacted each of them by phone and email. Except for some that suddenly changed their minds and refused to sell, all the others were bought.

Later, when she heard Xie Chaoyin say that he wanted to give her something, and then she saw the crown again, Lu Fengqing immediately guessed what Xie Chaoyin wanted to give her.

Gu Suixing wasn't going to stand on ceremony. "Fine, we'll take them back ourselves."

At this moment, Xie Chaoyin's secretary suddenly said, "I'm afraid Mr. Gu's car can't fit them all."

Gu Suixing: "Secretary Zhao, what kind of car do you think can fit it all?"

Secretary Zhao: "About one small truck."

Lu Fengqing's pupils trembled slightly.

Even a five-year-old child knows that what the man gave was something good.

It would take a small truck to fit them all...

How many would that be?

Gu Suixing nodded, "I'll have someone come and move it."

He turned around, took Lu Fengqing's hand and tried to pull her away, but found that he couldn't move her.

"..."

Gu Suixing turned around, amused. "Not leaving?"

Lu Fengqing remained motionless.

“Okay.” Gu Suixing nodded. “Let’s go up and see what exactly needs a small truck to transport.”

Lu Fengqing finally moved.

She nodded demurely.

Seeing this, Xie Chaoyin's smile deepened.

Xie Chaoyin had paused the video conference to come down, as he needed to go back to continue the meeting. Secretary Zhao was responsible for taking the family of three up to see it.

The temporary storage for that pile of things was in the conference room on the top floor. This conference room is mainly used for board meetings and is rarely open to the public.

The floor-to-ceiling glass wall of the conference room facing the corridor was blocked by heavy curtains, and the door was also tightly closed, so you couldn't see what was inside unless you went in.

Secretary Zhao walked to the conference room door, where a facial recognition device scanned his face. With a "verification successful" announcement, the conference room door slowly opened.

At the same time, all the lights in the conference room were turned on.

Secretary Zhao stepped aside, "Mr. Gu, Miss, please."

Lu Fengqing nodded slightly and led Rui Rui inside.

The mother and son froze, their expressions identical, when they saw what was inside.

Gu Suixing walked behind the two of them and glanced inside. He knew that if he didn't move this pile of things back tonight, the other person wouldn't leave.

The conference room was filled with a wide variety of ornaments, including jewelry, pendants, and decorations.

Despite their different uses, the only thing they have in common is that these items are all adorned with various gemstones and jade, making them sparkle overall.

In addition, there are bags, perfumes, watches, and cosmetics from various brands.

The larger the meeting room, the more stuff it was crammed full.

Secretary Zhao remained reserved.

A small truck isn't enough to carry it all back.

We'll need at least a truck.

Secretary Zhao had been watching Lu Fengqing's expression closely. Seeing that she liked it, he smiled and explained, "Most of these items here were recently acquired by Chairman Xie, but most of them are from his collection. There are also some antiques, tea, wine, and famous paintings. Chairman Xie didn't know if Miss would like them, and there wasn't enough space here, so he didn't have them moved over."

Aside from the batch that Lu Fengqing had seen before, which had just been purchased from abroad, the rest were all collectibles that Xie Chaoyin had gathered from various places over the years. Xie Chaoyin owned many properties, and his collection wasn't all displayed in one place; it took time to ship them from different locations.

Xie Chao felt guilty towards his daughter. She was already so grown up and married. All he could give her besides these material possessions was nothing else.

No matter how expensive those luxury goods were, he spared no expense and tried every means to acquire them.

No matter how much he liked those collections, he could bear to part with anything that his daughter might like or that was shiny.

Lu Fengqing even put down her son's hand and rushed inside to linger and examine the things. Her eyes were glued to the sights, and she paid no attention to what Secretary Zhao was saying.

Seeing how much her mother liked it, Rui Rui was influenced by her and went inside to take a look as well.

Only Gu Suixing and Secretary Zhao remained at the door.

Gu Suixing followed Lu Fengqing's figure with her gaze and said with a smile, "I like it."

Secretary Zhao nodded, "I'm glad you like it."

Gu Suixing continued, "I'd like to trouble Dad to have someone deliver the rest of the items to the Garden Mansion."

Secretary Zhao: "...Okay."

Secretary Zhao went back to her office to get the list of these items. Gu Suixing walked behind Lu Fengqing, raised his hand and pressed down on her shoulder, forcibly turning her to face him.

"You like it that much?"

Lu Fengqing felt like her soul was about to float away; she was completely dizzy. "I like it..."

If she moves all these things back, plus the collection that scoundrel had gathered himself, and all the stuff from Gu Jinhong's villa... she could open a museum.

That garden mansion purchase was absolutely brilliant!

Gu Suixing: "You choose between me and these things."

Rui Rui would answer this question: "Choose Dad!"

But his father ignored him.

Lu Fengqing snapped out of her daze, looked at Gu Suixing, and hesitated to speak.

Even the air seemed to fall silent.

Gu Suixing released her expressionlessly. "Alright. No need to say anything more."

The words "self-inflicted humiliation" practically had written all over her forehead.
