While Liu Yihang was still shaken, Lin Guihua was also trembling with fear.
She regretted her words; her son was only trying to protect her. If those men had had guns when they got out of the car, something terrible would have happened today.
"It's all my fault, Hanghang, are you alright?"
"It's okay, Mom, don't worry, I'm fine," Liu Yihang reassured her.
Yunyin also came over to comfort Lin Guihua.
"Good lad, I didn't realize you were such a fighter with such a small frame!" Yuan Tiangang patted Liu Yihang on the shoulder.
"Uncle Yuan, I'm sorry to have kept you from going home. Luckily, you're alright."
"It's alright. You and your family should close up shop and go home to rest. Don't worry about what happened today. I'll head back now too."

Not long after Yuan Tiangang left, Wenxiangju also closed down.
After Liu Xiangdong, Liu Yihang, and Yunyin took turns comforting her, Lin Guihua's mood improved considerably.
Once the door was closed and only his family was left, Liu Yihang took out the few stones he had brought back and told Liu Xiangdong and his wife about his experience that day.
The two of them listened as if to a myth, their mouths never closing.
The couple was so surprised by the figures of several million that they didn't know what to say. Although they had more money now with interest, it was still limited to tens of thousands.
I heard my son say that he bought a painting for 100 yuan, but it ended up selling for 5 million.
A bowl bought for 100 yuan turned out to be worth over 7 million yuan.
They said they also sold a stone, a stone that was worth over two million.
The couple never imagined they could make money so quickly.
I thought I was dreaming. It all felt so unreal. I didn't know if the child had gone mad or if I had gone mad.
Yunyin testified that it was all true; a huge sum of more than seven million yuan suddenly appeared in the house, along with a porcelain bowl worth more than seven million yuan.
They could live a life free from want without ever having to work.
It took the couple a long time to accept this.
Yunyin pointed at the stone in front of her and tentatively asked Liu Yihang, "Yihang, are all of these stones of yours hiding something?"
She felt that Liu Yihang's so-called premonition was somewhat mystical; if it weren't for his reminder, she wouldn't have earned that 70,000 yuan.
Liu Yihang didn't want to lie to Yunyin; she was the person he wanted to spend his life with.
"I had a feeling that there was something inside these stones, so I really didn't dare to open them."
I don't know how to explain it to you, but I just have a feeling there's definitely jade inside.
"The feeling you're describing might also be a kind of talent!"
"Yihang, you really have a talent for antiques and jade gambling!" Yunyin immediately found a reason for him.
What was said in jest was taken seriously by Liu Yihang. He carefully put the stones away, planning to unravel them later.
He was pondering this in his mind.
In fact, ever since he copied Master Xiang Yizhai's antique appreciation, he has gained a deeper understanding of the antique trade and instantly fell in love with it.
He was thinking about whether he should change his major and study antique appreciation systematically, since he wasn't very interested in economics anyway.
After all, the essence of life is to be able to earn money to support oneself, and it would be even better if one could also do things that one enjoys.
This is no small matter; we can only think about it for now and consider it further.
We got back too late today, and the school dormitory was already closed, so the two of us definitely couldn't go back. We'll just have to spend the night at the shop.
Liu Yihang gentlemanly gave his bed to Yunyin and slept on the sofa outside.
Nothing was said that night.

When Liu Yihang got up, Liu Xiangdong and Lin Guihua were already busy as usual.
After a night, the two were able to calmly accept the fact that their family had become rich. They did not become arrogant, and continued to work as usual, never mentioning what happened last night, as if it had never occurred.
"Mom and Dad, let's take a day off today. I'll take you to buy a mobile phone this morning so we can keep in touch. In the afternoon, we can go look at a big house. I've said before that we'll live in a big house sooner or later, and now that's come true," Liu Yihang suggested.
Lin Guihua hesitated for a moment: "Hanghang, there are phone booths nearby, so we don't need to buy that big mobile phone, right?"
"Just buy you one. We only need to call you occasionally and let your grandma know we're safe; we don't really need a phone for much else."
Liu Xiangdong also thought that made sense. A big brother is usually very expensive. He had only seen big bosses use them before. Even foremen didn't have them. He was just a small restaurant owner with no important business. Why would he buy one?
"It would be so much better to have a phone. If it weren't for Uncle Yuan having a cell phone, we wouldn't even have been able to call the police for something like what happened last night," Liu Yihang tried to persuade them.
“Silly child, something like what happened last night can’t happen every day. Besides, one phone is enough for the whole family. We live so close by, and you’re sometimes even home,” Lin Guihua said.
Liu Yihang never expected that he would be the one who was persuaded.
He simply got a little carried away with the money and wanted to buy some things for his parents, but forgot to consider whether they actually needed them.
Thinking about it this way, it really is quite pointless. It's not edible, and my parents might have to treat it like a precious treasure, afraid that someone will steal it.
"I don't want a mobile phone, but I really want a house. Our family has some savings now, so it's better to buy a house as soon as possible. Having our own place in Tianzhou City will really put us down."
Now that you're dating someone, we should buy you a house so we can have an explanation when we talk to Yinyin's parents about it.
Your dad and I won't be going with you this morning. We'll finish our business at noon, and then we'll go look at houses together this afternoon.
Yunyin was having breakfast in the inner room when she heard Lin Guihua's words and blushed.
People in this era are very simple and honest about relationships. When they decide on a partner, they are all aiming for marriage. There is no major issue that would make a breakup impossible.
They insisted on finishing their lunch business, so Liu Yihang had no choice but to let them. After lunch, he took Yunyin out.
The two rode their bicycles to a nearby shopping mall and headed straight for the mobile phone section.
When he came, Liu Yihang specially brought a backpack full of cash. His family runs a food business and they have a lot of loose change. It would be troublesome to deposit this money in a bank, so he might as well use it to buy a mobile phone.
He originally thought that mobile phones cost a lot of money in this day and age, because he had never bought one in his previous life, so he specially brought more than 10,000 yuan with him, just in case it wasn't enough.
The clerk said that a mobile phone would only cost a little over three thousand yuan.
Back when the earliest mobile phones were first introduced, one would cost over ten or twenty thousand yuan. Now that newer, smaller phone models have appeared, mobile phones are becoming increasingly cheaper.
The two then looked at the design of the new Nokia phone, which was indeed much larger than the older brother's, but the functions were basically the same, almost identical.
However, the price is more than double, with a new Nokia phone costing over 8,000 yuan.
After discussing it, the two decided to get two mobile phones, since they only needed them to make phone calls and there was no need to spend an extra five thousand dollars just to make them smaller.
