Chapter 137 Billion Dollar Engagement
Su Mi watched from the side and didn't expect that Xiao Xuanjin was quite good at dealing with children.
Perhaps her gaze was too intense, Xiao Xuanjin finally gave her a look, "This kind of naughty child must be dealt with violently."
Su Mi was taught a lesson, "He is you?"
"Third uncle's youngest son."
"oh."
The two of them didn't speak anymore. Xiao Cece was afraid of Xiao Xuanjin and ran away after a while.
At dinner time, the whole family moved to the restaurant to eat.
It’s so lively, just like Chinese New Year.
Later, Su Mi rarely communicated with Xiao Xuanjin, and mostly just listened to what the elders said.
Finally it was night and the guests left one after another.
Su Boren was in a good mood today. He drank some wine and got a little drunk. He has already returned to his room.
Su Mi came out of the house and wanted to visit the greenhouse and get some fresh air. When he passed by the warehouse, he saw Wei Rushuang holding today's gift list and checking with An Rui about the storage.
The long gift list was particularly eye-catching.
Look at the antiques piled up at the door of the warehouse. They are treasures from thousands of years ago and are rare items that cannot be bought even with money.
There are even more gold items, dazzling to the eyes, including golden dragon ornaments, jewelry, diamond crowns, and gold-inlaid jadeite. This is just the open part. There are also some that are in boxes and have not been opened, and there is so much space that they cannot fit in.
Is this the Xiao family’s betrothal gift? I didn’t expect it to be so much.
I'm afraid it will take an entire night to count them all.
"mom."
Wei Rushuang turned around and asked, "Baby, why are you here?"
"Come and take a look."
"Just right, come here, I have something good to show you."
When Su Mi walked over, she saw Wei Rushuang took out a black metal box and opened it to show her.
"Baby, this is the Nine Dragons and Nine Phoenix Crown designed by the Queen. It's a treasure passed down from the ancestors of the Xiao family and cannot be bought with a price."
Su Mi looked at the nine dragons on the middle layer of the phoenix crown, five phoenixes on the lower part, two phoenixes on the upper back, and one phoenix on each side. The entire crown was inlaid with gems.
It exudes a gorgeous luster passed down through the years, which is breathtaking.
It can be seen how much the Xiao family cares about this marriage.
"Baby, how are you?" Wei Rushuang asked again when she saw that she didn't speak for a long time.
"This... is so precious."
"Yes, my in-laws really gave me enough face this time."
…
The media in Jiangcheng had their people keeping an eye on the Su Mansion yesterday, knowing how shocking the scene was when the Xiao family proposed marriage.
The Su family's return gift was no less impressive, and the two families seemed to be secretly competing with each other.
[Shocking! The betrothal gift from a wealthy family is way too extravagant! The prince of Huacheng and the most famous lady in Jiangcheng have a 10 billion yuan engagement.]
[Amazing! Two wealthy families marrying together, with betrothal gifts lavishly piled with gold and jade, and dowries overflowing with luxury cars.]
Chairman Xiao traveled thousands of miles to propose marriage, spending billions of dollars, only to earn a smile from the beautiful Su.
[I have a feeling that the previous strongest record set by Bai Xinran and Young Master Qin will soon be broken.]
…
Bai Xinran, who was being talked about, threw her phone after seeing the news.
Qin Lingyun was in a meeting. When he heard the noise, he had to interrupt it temporarily, come out of the study and return to the bedroom.
At a glance, I saw my wife sulking angrily, throwing a doll to vent her anger.
"If you're going to throw something away, throw away something expensive and heavy. How about you take a look at that vase?" Qin Lingyun folded her hands and leaned against the door, obviously letting her smash the house as she pleased.
Bai Xinran took one look at the enamel vase, which she had bought at an auction for a large sum of money. She hesitated for a moment, "Are you really going to let me smash it?"
"Smash it, it's just a dead thing."
Bai Xinran threw down the doll, walked to the vase, held the vase with both hands, but when she was about to exert force, her strength suddenly disappeared.
"Forget it, we still have to clean up after we smash it."
He sighed, looking depressed.
"Tell me, is it about Su Mi again?"
Qin Lingyun knew his wife well. She liked to show off, to be number one, and was very competitive.
In fact, this is also a common problem among many aristocratic children in the circle.
It's quite normal, he has seen it many times.
"Yeah, why did Su Mi marry into Huacheng, and into the unattainable Xiao family? Why? She always outdoes me in everything."
I thought she would definitely marry into the Gu family. Gu Mucheng came from a good family and had been courting her for so many years, but she was still not satisfied.
After Qin Lingyun heard what she said, an understanding expression appeared on his face.
In fact, he had recently heard about the marriage between the Su and Xiao families. Men and women think differently, and he immediately understood what the Su family's intention was.
Su Boren has a good plan and is very ambitious. He even wants to expand towards Huacheng.
It has to be said that for the Su family, being able to join forces with the Xiao family would definitely be beneficial with no harm at all.
During this period, the wealthy circle was also in an uproar. Everyone understood that the Su family wanted to be superior to all the families in Jiangcheng forever.
"Ranran, you can't compare to her."
Bai Xinran thought her husband would at least comfort her, but he actually said the words she least wanted to hear.
"Ling Yun, who are you on your side? Who is your wife?"
"Of course I'm on your side, but she does have the upper hand in this matter."
This still sounds particularly uncomfortable.
Bai Xinran put her hands on her hips and glared at him, feeling the fire in her heart burning even more fiercely.
"but……"
Qin Lingyun smiled lightly, "From the outside, it seems like a great marriage, but as for the inside..."
He had heard that President Xiao was not an easy person to get along with. Could Su Mi really be happy after marrying him from far away?
He thought that might not be the case. This marriage was just a superficial glamor. To put it bluntly, it was for outsiders to see.
Aren’t the so-called mirages just illusions?
"Inner? What do you mean?"
"Ran Ran, Su Mi married from far away, so far away from her parents' home. If she suffers any grievances there, the Su family here is far away from her. In this respect, she can't compare to you."
Bai Xinran thought it made sense when she heard it. Yes, her parents' home was in Jiangcheng. They were in the same place, so whatever happened here would be known over there soon.
That's why she was not afraid of anything.
But Su Mi has gone so far away. If her husband or in-laws make things difficult for her, her parents may not know about it unless she tells them.
"You're right, there are huge disadvantages to marrying far away."
Seeing his wife's expression eased a little, Qin Lingyun continued, "So, what you see now..."
"That's not right." Bai Xinran suddenly interrupted him.
"You're telling me about what will happen in the future. It's still unknown. What's happening right now is that she's more successful than me, stealing the show, and marrying into a better family than me. She's simply outshining me."
"What I care about is face. At least in the eyes of outsiders, she is the undisputed number one socialite, and she married a wealthy man in Huacheng, while I am just her foil. No one cares about your inner qualities, and the media won't pay attention to what happens after their marriage. So, I am still not as good as her."
Having said that, Bai Xinran swept the books on the table to the ground again.
Qin Lingyun held his forehead and thought, "Okay, it was all in vain."
