Chapter 67: Enlightenment
Taking advantage of the free time today, after lunch, Teacher Lin wanted to take Jiang Yining out for a walk.
Lin Shu asked the family driver to drive over. She said to Jiang Yining, "Didn't I say a few days ago that I would take you to pick out some jewelry you like? Since we are both free today, let's go take a look."
He Chi walked them both to the door and asked, "Do you want me to go with you?"
Lin Shu immediately refused, "No, I'd be an eyesore if you went with me. You can go wherever you want. I'll take Yining back tonight."
He Chi was not annoyed by Teacher Lin's blatant dislike. He was happy and at ease. "Then I'll go to the bar."
Jiang Yining nodded.
As soon as He Chi left, Jiang Yining immediately clung to Teacher Lin and said with a sweet smile, "Mom, where are we going shopping?"
Lin Shu: "Let's go to the auction house, do you want to go?"
Jiang Yining had only seen the auction in short videos, and she was curious about what it would feel like to sit there. She nodded obediently, "I want to go."
Lin Shu smiled at her dotingly, "Then Mom will take you to see it."
Just then, the driver stopped the car in front of them. When the two got in the car, He Chi's Land Rover passed in front of them.
He Chi rolled down the car window, pursed his lips, and joked to Teacher Lin, "Mom, I'm leaving my wife in your care. You have to return her to me in one piece."
Watching his car drive away, Lin Shu didn't want to pay any attention to him.
Jiang Yining was amused.
In the car, Lin Shu asked seriously, "Yining, how does He Chi treat you normally?"
Jiang Yining said without hesitation, "Mom, He Chi is very good to me."
Worried that Teacher Lin wouldn't believe him, Jiang Yining made his words more specific, "In the beginning, we were indeed a little uncomfortable. I was more sensitive, while He Chi was the opposite."
"But he would take my feelings into consideration, and sometimes when I got stuck in an alley, he would enlighten me."
Jiang Yining couldn't help but smile softly, "He Chi prefers strong-flavored dishes and spicy food, but I like light food. Every time he will accommodate me first."
Jiang Yining spoke whatever came to his mind. "He took me to meet his friends last night. I know he would observe me from time to time to see if I was comfortable or not, and would try to help me fit in."
She looked at Lin Shu with a smile, "Mom, I've also met Brother Xiangchuan and Sister Qingya. I like Sister Qingya very much."
Lin Shu couldn't believe that her straight son had become so smart.
Seeing Jiang Yining's eyes full of smiles when she talked about He Chi, some of the doubts in her heart were dispelled.
Jiang Yining got drunk last night, and she asked He Chi to change her clothes. At that time, He Chi's expression looked a little strange.
One is her son, and the other is her beloved student. In Lin Shu's heart, her love for Jiang Yining is no less than that for He Chi.
He Chi seldom stayed in Lincheng these years, and only came back two or three times a year. Fortunately, Jiang Yining was always by his side.
In terms of the time spent with them, Jiang Yining spends much more time than He Chi. He will come to her house to chat with her, go shopping with her, and talk about work together.
No wonder people say daughters are caring little cotton-padded jackets.
On the other hand, she would be lucky if she wasn't mad at He Chi.
But these two people got their marriage certificate without saying a word. It would be strange if she wasn't worried.
Before entering the auction house, Jiang Yining took a photo and sent it to Zhang Qiao: [Follow Teacher Lin to broaden your horizons.]
Zhang Qiao replied immediately: [Are you short of a maid to carry your bags? Would you consider me?]
Jiang Yining asked: [Want to come over? It's just me and Teacher Lin. He Chi isn't here.]
To be honest, Zhang Qiao was quite tempted, but after thinking it over, she refused: "No, I won't be the third wheel between you two. I'll wait until next time when you take me to see it for myself."
Jiang Yining sent her an OK emoticon.
As soon as she and Teacher Lin entered, someone came to greet them, "Good afternoon, Madam He."
Teacher Lin introduced the other party, "This is my daughter-in-law. You can just call her Miss Jiang. She will be the one choosing the jewelry today."
The staff member said, "Mrs. He, your daughter-in-law is so beautiful, she is a perfect match for Mr. He."
Although she knew that the other party was deliberately complimenting her, Lin Shu liked to hear it. She smiled and said to Jiang Yining, "This is Manager Yuan from the auction house."
"Hello, Manager Yuan."
"Hello, Miss Jiang," Manager Yuan said to them, "Please follow me."
Manager Yuan took them to the office and said, "Mrs. He, Ms. Jiang, all the jewelry from this auction is here. This is the catalog."
Jiang Yining asked doubtfully, "Mom, aren't we going to participate in the auction?"
Manager Yuan smiled and explained for Lin Shu, "Ms. Jiang, the auction officially starts next week. You can watch it up close and even wear it on your body."
Teacher Lin added, "Just ask He Chi's assistant to come over. If you're interested, Mom will come with you."
Jiang Yining understood.
She looked around and saw the ruby necklace inlaid with white diamonds sparkling under the light. One glance at it revealed its value.
The heart-shaped pink diamond ring is really the size of a pigeon egg. I guess there is no girl who would not be moved by it.
Each piece of jewelry here is estimated to cost at least eight figures.
Lin Shu took Jiang Yining to sit down and look through the catalog. "Yining, come and take a look. Tell me if you like anything."
Jiang Yining avoided Manager Yuan and moved closer to Lin Shu, saying in a weak voice, "Mom, why don't we go to those jewelry stores outside to choose?"
Lin Shu raised his hand and touched her hair. "Don't worry about the money. Our family has plenty of it, and these jewels are valuable. It's just that the money is stored in a different form."
"You will accompany He Chi to some dinner parties in the future. You two represent our He family. How can you do that without a piece of jewelry that you can show off?"
Teacher Lin's words dispelled Jiang Yining's concerns. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom."
Jiang Yining took the catalog and after she picked out a piece she liked, Manager Yuan asked someone to let her try on the jewelry.
She originally wanted to pick just one or two sets, but Teacher Lin was obviously not satisfied and asked Jiang Yining to pick five or six sets at once.
Jiang Yining was trembling with fear when counting the numbers on the catalog.
After coming out of the auction house office, Jiang Yining's heartbeat had not yet slowed down.
The auction house had other previews, so since they were there, Lin Shu took Jiang Yining to have a look, and Manager Yuan followed them all the way, acting as their guide.
An hour later we finished our walk around.
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when they left the auction house. Lin Shu asked the driver to go to Yuhubancheng first.
After Jiang Yining moved into Yuhubancheng, Lin Shu never visited her once. She was still a little worried.
She asked Jiang Yining for his opinion, "Yining, it's still early. Can I go upstairs with you later?"
Of course Jiang Yining wouldn't refuse. She said, "Sure. I'll tell He Chi."
Lin Shu stopped her and said, "No, I'm too lazy to see him. It's just the two of us. I'll just sit for a while and leave."
Jiang Yining tightened his grip on the phone.
He Chi's things were still in the guest bedroom. She didn't know whether He Chi closed the door of the guest bedroom before going out yesterday morning.
