Chapter 225 Another Brother Acquainted
Before this, Du Yihuan thought the necklace was already beautiful enough.
But now, seeing the jadeite that Ye Wanxi gave him, Du Yihuan realized that there are always people more amazing than you.
With a little decoration, this piece of jade would definitely be more beautiful and more valuable than that necklace!
After her initial excitement subsided, Du Yihuan seemed to remember something and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Isn't this too expensive?"
She had initially thought her aunt's check was quite presentable, but upon seeing the jade, she suddenly became uncertain.
I always felt that the check might not even be enough to buy this piece of jade, not to mention the gift for my aunt.
Du Yihuan had a gut feeling that the gift Ye Wanxi prepared for Feng's mother must be more valuable than her own!
"They're nothing expensive or not, just little things given to me by relatives and friends in the past, not worth much. I'm glad you like them, don't mind them."
Du Yihuan: "..." This is just a small thing, it can't be worth much money!
So it turns out, sister-in-law, you're the real Versailles! Where did her brother find such a treasure? He's incredibly lucky!
Gao Min: "..." We agreed to be poor together, but you secretly became a landlady with hundreds of properties, and suddenly you became a jewelry tycoon. When did she lose internet access again?
Ye Wanxi wasn't exaggerating; she had a lot of such things in her storage ring, many of which were just gathering dust in the corners. It would be perfect to give them away.
Du Yihuan left the hospital in a daze, carrying Ye Wanxi's return gift. She almost forgot about her own big rabbit when she left.
"You..." Gao Min was equally shocked, staring at her artist with a complicated expression.
Before I could say anything, I was blinded by the two enormous pearls.
“This, this, this…”
"How could we forget to give a gift to our sister Gao?" Ye Wanxi handed over the box containing pearls and asked with a smile, "Here, this is for you, do you like it?"
Gao Min gasped, trying her best to calm herself down: "Did you rob a bank or disturb someone's jewelry store? Is it too late for us to return it now?"
"It's too late."
Gao Min was startled: "You..."
"Just kidding, don't panic. This thing wasn't stolen or robbed; it's perfectly legal."
"That……"
"To be honest, I recently gained another brother."
"!" This familiar routine made Gao Min's eyelids twitch involuntarily.
"His family happens to own a mine."
"I gave it to you?"
"No, I just gave her a little pocket money."
Ye Wanxi's words were not wrong. That day, after returning from the auction house, Feng Tianyu explained to her the origins of Xirui Auction House. Her third senior brother's family really did have a mine!
That's why she dares to take things out like this now.
If anything happens in the future, she'll just blame it all on her third senior brother. He'll definitely cover for her. She's such a clever little devil.
Jun, the scapegoat, the third senior brother, Wuduan: "..." I really do thank you.
Gao Min glanced at Ye Wanxi, then at the large pearl in the box, her face filled with a numbness and weariness from years of hardship.
"Ask your brother for me."
"Um?"
"Does he need a younger sister? Someone who's available 24/7, good at everything from laundry and cooking to housework."
Ye Wanxi: "..." There's no need for that.
After Ye Wanxi "woke up", the barrier on the third floor was removed.
Because of the unpleasant experience during her "first awakening," Xiao Baihui did not come to see Ye Wanxi again, but Zou Yiluan came again later.
Tell her that He Qiyuan's bad luck started after he went home that night.
First, his car broke down halfway through the road, and then, for some unknown reason, he twisted his back in his office.
I was in charge of a project, and somehow, due to a lack of thorough inspection, a decimal point was missing, resulting in significant losses and almost leading to a lawsuit.
Two days ago, while working in a certain place, he accidentally stepped into an empty space and broke his leg and hand. He is currently in the hospital and will probably not be able to leave for some time.
After this incident, those who were tempted to cause trouble dared not make any further moves, and the guards around the hospital could finally be withdrawn.
Besides this, Zou Yiluan also brought Ye Wanxi a bonus and compensation, as well as a large stack of resources in the industry for Ye Wanxi to choose from, as a small compensation for her.
After Gao Min learned about this, her expression finally improved. Whether these resources were good or not, and whether they made money or not, was secondary.
With these things, she could effortlessly slap the faces of those who predicted Ye Wanxi would be blacklisted and forced to leave the entertainment industry.
It also tells those variety show companies and big bosses that Ye Wanxi is protected by higher-ups, and they should think twice before messing with her.
Besides Zou Yiluan, Bai Haoqi also came once and personally apologized to her.
"I'm sorry, there was a slight problem at the auction that day, and we were unable to bid for the 500-year-old ginseng that Wanxi needed."
The ginseng was currently lying in her storage ring, so Ye Wanxi naturally had no reason to blame them. She quickly said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I'm already very grateful that you were able to find so many medicinal herbs for me."
"Regarding that ginseng, during my hospital stay, I contacted a friend abroad who helped me find a similar one, and it will be delivered to me in the next couple of days. I forgot to tell you, I'm sorry."
Hearing Ye Wanxi say that a spare ginseng had been found, Bai Haoqi finally felt less guilty.
Seeing this, Ye Wanxi took the initiative to change the subject.
"Have you resolved all your family's issues?"
Bai Haoqi was somewhat surprised, but quickly came to terms with it: "As expected, nothing can be hidden from you."
When Ye Wanxi first discovered the White Tiger Curse in the Bai family, the Bai family only thought it was a relative or rival who coveted their family property and deliberately devised this method to harm them.
But after the incident involving the ancestral graves, Old Master Bai realized that this matter was not simple. In addition, it was also related to the death of his son and daughter-in-law back then, so he became even more determined to find out the truth.
The investigation uncovered an absurd past.
The Bai family originally made their fortune selling medicine; back then, they were just lowly apprentices in a medical clinic.
Because of the doctor's favor, he was taken in as an apprentice and taught some skills to identify medicinal herbs and practice medicine to save lives.
Later, due to war, the clinic declined, and the Bai family ancestors fled with their families. Later, in order to make a living, they started a business of reselling medicinal herbs.
And because of good luck and seizing opportunities, the business grew bigger and bigger, the family's life got better and better, and the children and grandchildren were quite successful, which led to the current scale of the Bai family.
People in ancient times valued returning to one's roots. Back then, the Bai family ancestors fled to other places.
He never returned to his hometown until his death, and before he died, he repeatedly told his descendants that if there was an opportunity in the future, they must move his remains back to his hometown.
