Chapter 547: Green as Chives
My dad was still confused, "Mengmeng, how do you know this is an eighteen-year-old tea tree?"
I remained calm, "When Xiao Shiqiu bought it, someone told him, right, Shiqiu?"
"Meng Meng is right, it's eighteen years. That's how they introduced it back then. If Mr. Lu likes it, I can give you a can later."
"Mr. Xiao, you're too polite. Maybe we will be relatives in the future and we can visit each other more often." Lu Yuanqing smiled innocently, as if he really wanted to become relatives with us.
"Brother Yuanqing, what gift did you bring for my aunt?" Deng Sisi asked, blinking her big eyes and looking at the backpack that Lu Yuanqing placed on the cabinet in the entrance hall.
Lu Yuanqing looked at her lovingly, "Didn't you say your aunt likes jade and jadeite? I don't know much about these things, so I just picked a bracelet that I thought looked good. I don't know if your aunt likes it."
As he said that, he opened the bag, took out a velvet box and handed it to my mother.
My mother hesitated for a moment but finally took it. After opening the box, she found a bright green jade bracelet inside. If it was genuine, it should be worth a lot of money. But as a gift for my niece's boyfriend who was visiting her for the first time, it was obviously too expensive.
If it was a fake, with Lu Yuanqing's status, he could only have bought it on purpose, which means he was just playing a trick on Deng Sisi.
I thought unkindly, what if he wanted to disgust us and asked for the bracelet back later, and then said that we returned a fake bracelet? Wouldn’t that be hard to explain?
I've seen this kind of thing on the Internet. Who knows what this guy's intentions are.
Luckily, my dad, the old fox, also thought of something, and he exclaimed in a exaggerated manner: "Oh my! The quality of this jade is really amazing. Look at this bright green jade, the color is so rich, as rich as leeks."
My father was not very good at Chinese back then and his adjective vocabulary was limited.
But we all nodded as we listened and listened to him continue, "Look at the texture, it's standard glass quality, the transparency is exactly the same as glass.
Although I am a rough guy and don't understand these things, I know that this thing is worth a lot of money.
Xiao Lu, your Aunt Lin's birthday isn't a big one. We didn't plan on having a big celebration. It was just a family dinner together.
You brought such a valuable gift on your first visit home, so we can't accept it. Please take it back. We appreciate your kindness."
This time my dad didn't ask my mom's opinion and just rejected it.
Lu Yuanqing smiled slightly, "Uncle, you are too polite. It's just a small gift. Why bother asking about money? As long as Aunt likes it, that's all."
My dad wanted to refuse again, but Deng Sisi spoke first: "By the way, what gift did Sister Mengmeng give to Auntie? I haven't seen you take it out yet."
If she hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten it.
I slapped my head and said, "I put it in the car. Wait a minute, I'll get it."
Xiao Shiqiu stood up and said, "I'll go with you."
I opened the trunk and took out a large flat box. Xiao Shiqiu took it naturally. "What did you buy? It's so big. If I hadn't smelled the aroma, I would have thought you ordered a Big Mac pizza."
I chuckled, "How is that possible? If I buy anything to eat, I have to give Deng Sisi a bite. I won't do that. I don't want her to take advantage of me at all!"
We brought the things into the house. My parents were still being polite to Lu Yuanqing. When they saw me come in, they stopped talking and just stared at the box in my hand.
