After Lin Yu finished talking with Feng Jiu, he went back upstairs.
Lu Xueqing had already finished get off work and was sitting on the sofa, looking tired.
Lin Yu asked with concern, "Honey, how was your first day at work? Did it go smoothly?"
Lu Xueqing nodded, "It's alright. It's just that we've just arrived in an unfamiliar place and need to get familiar with the market, so it might take some effort!"
Seeing his wife like this, Lin Yu felt a little sorry for her and even secretly regretted letting Zhang Miao assign such a task to his wife.
Zhang Ailan didn't care whether her daughter was tired or not. When she saw Lin Yu return, she ran over and questioned him, "Lin Yu, my daughter asked you to buy antiques. Did you buy them?"
Lin Yu nodded and placed the wooden box in his hand on the coffee table.
Zhang Ailan hurriedly stepped forward and eagerly opened the box. Her eyes lit up when she saw the brush washer inside.
"Is this blue and white porcelain? It looks quite nice!"
She was very satisfied with the items she brought back this time; at least they looked like antiques.
Lin Yu said from the side, "Mom, this isn't blue and white porcelain, it's Ru ware, it's from the Song Dynasty!"
"Ru ware?"
Lu Xueqing exclaimed, "Lin Yu, I heard that Ru ware is very valuable, worth millions!"
"Several million?"
Zhang Ailan's mouth dropped open. "This little round plate is so expensive?"
Lin Yu nodded and said, "Yes, Ru ware is indeed not cheap, but this is just a brush washer, with a few minor flaws, so it's not that expensive, maybe a few hundred thousand!"
"Hundreds of thousands, isn't that expensive?" Lu Xueqing frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you to pick something under 100,000? You've gone for something so expensive, aren't you making Miss Liu lose money?"
Lin Yu quickly said, "Wife, don't worry. I did Miss Liu a big favor today. She gave me this Ru ware as a way of repaying me!"
"Really?" Lu Xueqing was skeptical, feeling that this money was being made far too easily.
Lin Yu said with an arrogant expression, "Wife, don't forget, Miss Liu was planning to hire me for 20 million. If I didn't have that ability, would she have spent money to hire me?"
"Well, you're right!"
Lu Xueqing nodded; she could accept Lin Yu's explanation.
Zhang Ailan held the pen washer and examined it with great satisfaction. The day after tomorrow was her father's birthday.
Receive this brush washer as a birthday gift, it would be so prestigious!
Lu Xueqing couldn't help but frown, "Mom, are you really planning to give this brush washer to Grandpa?"
Zhang Ailan was taken aback for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Xueqing hurriedly reminded him, "Don't forget, your uncle still owes us two million!"
Zhang Ailan nodded. "Yes! What's wrong? Didn't we agree to give your grandfather a decent birthday gift? Maybe if he's happy, he'll help us get the money back!"
Lu Xueqing bit her lip and said, "What if Grandpa doesn't help us?"
Upon hearing her daughter's words, Zhang Ailan's expression stiffened for a moment.
She knew that her father might not stand up for her, and the chances of getting the two million back were slim.
Zhang Ailan sighed and said softly, "Xueqing, no matter what, that's your maternal grandfather. He's seventy years old. How many more years can he live? Mom came back this time to celebrate his birthday, just to make him happy!"
Lu Xueqing shook her head. "Mom, you said it yourself, Grandpa is so old. To put it bluntly, he might pass away any day... Think about it carefully. Grandpa has always favored boys over girls. Do you think you'll get a share of the family fortune? Your Ru kiln pieces, worth hundreds of thousands, will eventually end up in your uncle and aunt's hands! They'll be happily using SK-II, but what about you?"
After her daughter pointed it out, Zhang Ailan immediately realized what she meant.
yes!
After Father passes away, this Ru kiln will most likely fall into the hands of that wretched woman, Mei Yun!
That's hundreds of thousands! How many cosmetics could you buy with that?
Thinking of Mei Yun's smug look yesterday, she was furious!
"hateful!"
Zhang Ailan felt a bit annoyed and glared at Lin Yu. "Why did you have to bring back such a nice antique? It's so annoying! You can't even pick a gift properly, you're such a useless person!"
Lin Yu had a look on his face that said, "I've been screwed over."
Is this wrong?
You old bastard, you're really hard to please!
At this moment, Lin Yu really wanted to slap him hard.
However, with his wife right next to him, he held back.
Lu Xueqing said helplessly, "Mom, this isn't Lin Yu's fault! We can just buy another one. We'll keep this brush washer as a keepsake; it might even appreciate in value in the future!"
Value-added?
It doesn't exist!
Lin Yu couldn't help but shake his head. He knew perfectly well that this pen washer was a fake, and its value was impossible to increase.
"Lin Yu, why don't you go buy another antique from Miss Liu? This time, make sure it's under 100,000!" Lu Xueqing said again.
Lin Yu looked helpless. "Wife, please have mercy on me! What kind of antique can you buy with 100,000 yuan? Even if you did buy it, it would just look so-so, and Mom wouldn't approve of it!"
Lu Xueqing bit her lip, thought for a moment, and said to her mother, "Mom, how about we don't give antiques? Wouldn't it be okay to buy some ginseng or something?"
"no!"
Zhang Ailan resolutely refused, saying with a stern face, "I've already spoken to your grandfather on the phone. I told him that you now run your own big company, and I've already promised to give him an antique. You can't expect me to go back on my word!"
Lu Xueqing felt annoyed. She had only enjoyed a few good days, and her mother was already showing off too much!
At that moment, Lin Yu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said, "Wife, I have an idea!"
