Chapter 322 Is it so powerful?
Xia Yi led the Gu family into the private room. As soon as they entered, the waiting Xia family members all stood up. Old Mrs. Xia walked up to Wang Yueju with tears in her eyes and looked at her carefully, as if she was looking for her childhood self, but where could she find it?
"You have suffered a lot over the years." After saying that, Old Lady Xia hugged Wang Yueju and cried.
Wang Yueju's eyes also became moist. She patted her back gently and said, "Actually, I've had a pretty good life these past few years."
Although she tried to persuade him, Old Lady Xia, who had been worried for so many years, finally saw him and lost control of her emotions, hugged her and cried. Seeing this, Xia Ying and Feng Hailan also came over to persuade her.
"Grandma, my aunt has been found. You should be happy." Xia Ying said.
Feng Hailan also said, "Yes, today is a happy day, you can't cry."
Old Mrs. Xia was naturally happy. She was just excited for a moment. After being persuaded by several people, she wiped her tears and said, "I am happy. I am very happy."
She pulled Wang Yueju to sit beside her and asked her how she had been doing these years. Wang Yueju naturally only talked about the good things, saying that the difficult times were over and there was no need to bring them up again.
"I'm relieved to see that you're doing well now." Old Lady Xia held Wang Yueju's hand and said, "I'm a failed mother. I have three children. One has been missing for years and can't be found. The other one I raised has become arrogant and domineering. Xia Yuan did that and caused you to suffer. I apologize to you. It's my fault for not raising her well."
As she spoke, she also looked at Gu Siqing, "Xiao Si, I apologize to you too."
Gu Siqing quickly waved her hands, "No, no, you don't have to do this."
"It's true that I didn't educate her well. I should apologize." Old Mrs. Xia said again.
Gu Siqing waved her hands helplessly and said, "Don't apologize to me anymore, otherwise I will be under too much pressure. What should I do if I don't grow taller?"
This made everyone present laugh. Old Mrs. Xia also said, "Don't worry, you will definitely grow taller. Your parents are not short, so you won't be short either."
Gu Siqing solemnly picked up the soda in her hand and said, "Then I'll borrow your good wishes."
The Gu family had long been accustomed to her quirky behavior, but it made the Xia family laugh. Feng Hailan said to Wang Yueju, "You really know how to raise children. Look at each of them. Not only are they good-looking, but they have good temperaments too."
"I think Xia Ying and Xia Yi are also very good, and my sister-in-law can also educate children." Wang Yueju naturally praised her own child, and then took out a red envelope from her bag and handed it to Xia Ying, "A little gift from me."
Xia Ying took it with a smile, "Thank you, aunt."
"Look at me, I forget everything when I'm happy." Old Mrs. Xia said as she took out a few small boxes, one for each of Gu Siqing's four sisters, as well as Ye Chi, Zhang Zijun and Han Zhengping.
Gu Siqing opened it and saw a pearl bracelet. The pearls were plump and lustrous, and it was obvious that they were worth a lot of money. She put it on her hand without hesitation. Gu Yimin, Gu Erhui, and Gu Sanjing also put them on. Mrs. Xia was very happy to see it.
Ye Chi and his friends had a jade pendant, which Zhang Zijun opened and examined before handing over to Gu Erhui. Xia Ying, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but chuckle when she saw Zhang Zijun's little gesture. She then whispered to Gu Erhui, "You're truly exceptionally capable."
A devil was completely subdued.
Gu Erhui glanced at Zhang Zijun, leaned closer to Xia Ying and said, "He's fine, those rumors are not true."
In front of others, she naturally has to praise her partner!
Xia Ying smiled. People's feelings are really mutual. The reason why Gu Erhui was able to win over Zhang Zijun was probably because she also sincerely liked Zhang Zijun.
The meal was quite pleasant. When it was almost over, Old Lady Xia took out a small box and placed it in front of Wang Yueju. "This is your dowry. Please accept it."
As soon as Wang Yueju saw the quaint little box, she knew the contents were worth a fortune and quickly declined, saying, "I can't accept this."
Since her surname was Wang and she wasn't the daughter of the Xia family, what would happen if she accepted the Xia family's dowry? In the future, when the two families visited as relatives, it was okay to accept gifts from elders to children, but it was absolutely forbidden to accept dowries.
"Our family had some wealth before liberation," Xia Qingzhang said, looking at Wang Yueju, "and Xia Yuan was given a dowry when she got married. This is what you deserve."
"I really can't accept it," Wang Yueju insisted. "You should know my family's current situation. I can't say we're rich, but we have enough food and clothing."
Old Lady Xia felt a little sad. The things in the box were carefully selected by her. They were more valuable than the dowry given to Xia Yuan and Xia Zhengming. This was also compensation for her. But she didn't want them now, which meant that she still didn't recognize them as her parents.
"Don't think too much about it," Wang Yueju said softly when she saw that Old Lady Xia was upset, "Whether I take the things or not won't affect our future interactions."
Old Mrs. Xia still insisted on giving it to the child, but Xia Qingzhang said, "If the child doesn't want it, take it back first."
Old Lady Xia understood his intention and took it back for now. She also knew that there was plenty of time to give him things gradually. But she still opened the box, pulled out a pair of mutton-fat white jade bracelets, and said, "Please accept these as a welcome gift."
Wang Yueju knew at first glance that the bracelet was valuable. After a moment's hesitation, she accepted it. If she didn't accept it, it would look bad. She put the bracelet on her hand and said with a smile, "It looks good."
Old Lady Xia also smiled and said it looked nice. Then she took out a property deed from the box and handed it to Gu Siqing: "Xiao Si has been wronged in the past few years. I didn't educate Xia Yuan well. This house is for you as compensation."
Gu Siqing looked at Wang Yueju, hesitating whether to take the house. This is not just a house, it will be worth hundreds of millions in the future. She was afraid that someone in the Xia family would be jealous and feel uncomfortable.
But then Wang Yueju said, "Take it."
This time, Gu Siqing accepted it without hesitation. Even if someone in the Xia family got jealous, it wouldn't be of any use. The gift was a gift from them, not something she had asked for. She smiled and took the property deed from Old Lady Xia's hand, saying, "Thank you."
Old Lady Xia patted her head lovingly and said, "The more you look at these children, the more you like them."
After chatting for a while, the two families went back home. Gu Siqing sat in the car and opened the property certificate. Wow! A house of nearly 1,000 square meters. This is really a big deal.
She leaned forward and asked Ye Chi, who was driving, "Instructor Ye, was the Xia family very rich in the past?"
"We can't say they are rich, but we should say they have a solid foundation," Ye Chi said. "During the previous dynasty, the Xia family was a family of officials. It is said that they produced several Jinshi scholars."
Gu Siqing opened her mouth wide, "Is it so powerful?"
Ye Chi found her words interesting, and the smile on his face grew even wider. "It's indeed that powerful. Otherwise, why would they always give jade pendants and pearls as gifts?"
Ye Chi had heard people say before that the Xia family was a big family in the past, but the Xia family was low-key and no one noticed anything different. This time he really saw it.
