"Son, do you also think the price of gold will rise?"
Shen Fang nodded.
"Prices will definitely rise, and they'll skyrocket. Something's not right with the current gold price."
"Then I'll go buy some more in a couple of days, Qianqian, how about I buy you another 20 jin? A young lady should have more money."
Liu Qianqian looked at the large gold chain on her body, which exuded an air of nouveau riche, and nodded with a slightly tearful smile.
"Okay, okay, Auntie."
Shen Fang laughed: "Mom, if you want to buy something, buy gold bars. They hold their value better. You have a lot of spare cash, so exchange it for gold bars."
Liu Yue'e's eyes lit up upon hearing this. That was good; it was hard currency anyway, so there was no need to sell it. She could keep it as a fixed asset.
Ye Daying originally planned to host a dinner party that evening, but Chen Daoming intercepted it. After all, he was Shen Fang's teacher, and since Shen Fang's parents were coming, he had to treat them to a meal as a matter of courtesy.
Another round of drinking ensued. Dad had just sobered up, but he got drunk again that night. When he got home, Liu Yue'e's face was black with grime. If it weren't for the New Year holiday and Liu Qianqian and the others being there, Dad's face would definitely be a mess tonight!
Looking at his mother's expression, Shen Fang knew she was about to explode.
"Ahem, Sisi, let me take you home."
Liu Qianqian also noticed the displeasure on Chen Ma's face. She stood up and looked at Liu Yue'e.
"Auntie, I'll be going now."
Liu Yue'e's face immediately broke into a smile, as if an iceberg had melted.
"XiXi, see you tomorrow!"
"Okay, Auntie, see you tomorrow."
Liu Yue'e got up and escorted Liu Qianqian to the door.
"Mom, I'll take it. You can come inside."
Liu Yue'e nodded: "Be careful on the road, and make sure you get home safely."
Shen Fang nodded in acknowledgment.
Shen Fang and Liu Qianqian got into the car.
Liu Qianqian giggled, "Uncle is doomed, hehe."
Shen Fang gently pinched Liu Qianqian's little nose.
"It's not good to gloat, Sisi, he's your future father-in-law."
Liu Qianqian blushed.
Shen Fang laughed and drove Liu Qianqian home. Just as they arrived at the villa's gate, they saw Liu Xiaoli wearing a coat, opening the door and coming out.
The two quickened their pace. When Liu Xiaoli saw her daughter adorned with gaudy gold jewelry, she was dumbfounded.
"What...what's going on???"
Shen Fang smiled and said, "Auntie, this is a gift from my mother. She thinks gold is nice. The older generation in Guangdong likes this kind of big, thick gold jewelry."
Upon hearing that it was a gift from Aunt Chen, Liu Xiaoli was immediately delighted and said, "This is such a waste of money."
Shen Fang waved his hand: "We're all family."
“My uncle also gave me this; it’s a treasure.”
Liu Qianqian shook the amethyst bracelet in her hand.
Liu Xiaoli could tell at a glance that it was a good item; she was very knowledgeable about jade.
"This is too expensive."
Shen Fang smiled and said, "Auntie, we are family. I will pick you up tomorrow. I also have a few friends. We will celebrate the New Year together then."
Liu Xiaoli smiled and said, "Okay, we'll be waiting for you tomorrow. Oh dear, I forgot. Come in and sit down."
"No, it's getting late. I should get some rest. I have to get up early tomorrow morning to welcome the God of Wealth and do some prayers. We have a lot of customs where I'm from."
Liu Xiaoli nodded: "Then drive carefully and be safe."
Shen Fang nodded and turned around.
"See you tomorrow, Brother Chen Fang."
Shen Fang turned his head, smiled, waved, got into the car, and disappeared into the moonlight.
The two returned to the house. Liu Xiaoli helped Liu Qianqian remove her jewelry, and Liu Qianqian felt a great sense of relief.
"I'm so tired, it's too heavy."
Liu Xiaoli bounced her head around and it was indeed quite heavy.
"Xixi, Shen Fang's parents really like you. They've given you jade bracelets and gold jewelry."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qianqian smiled and said, "Uncle, Auntie likes me very much. This is an antique, the experts said so."
"antique???"
Liu Xiaoli picked up Liu Qianqian's wrist and examined the purple dragon crystal in Liu Qianqian's hand carefully.
Its purple-black variegation and vibrant colors make it quite extraordinary.
"Sisi, you should be careful with this. This is a gift from your future mother-in-law. It would be bad if it broke."
Liu Qianqian's face immediately turned red, and she covered her face.
"Mom, what are you saying? How annoying!"
Liu Qianqian rushed into the room and closed the door.
Liu Xiaoli smiled as she watched Liu Qianqian's retreating figure, then turned off the light.
