Ye Qingqing snorted lightly, too lazy to look at Ye Xunmei. Mainly, she was full of anger, and her sarcastic remarks were met with no response from Ye Xunmei. It was like punching cotton, utterly pointless.
Ye Xunmei smiled slightly, feeling quite pleased with himself. If there was anything he was best at, it was charming women.
If he wanted, from Her Majesty the Empress to prostitutes, everyone could fall at his feet and submit to his silver tongue.
He straightened the jewelry box, and with a click, the box opened, revealing a flood of light. Ye Qingqing had initially turned her head away, but she couldn't help but turn back and stare intently at it.
Xiao Li was dumbfounded, his mouth agape in an "O" shape, his eyes bulging, completely disoriented.
He's probably dreaming!
Otherwise, how could we see such rare and precious treasures that only immortals could possess?
Ye Qingqing couldn't help but swallow, her mouth dry and a fire burning inside her. After gaining access to the space, she thought she would treat gold and silver treasures as dirt from now on.
But now she realizes she was wrong.
The reason I'm not tempted is because I haven't met the right ones. For example, no woman would be unmoved by these women in front of me.
It's so beautiful!
Cat's eye, jade, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, thumb-sized pearls, diamonds...
The box contained all sorts of gemstones, and they were all of the finest quality. It didn't look very big on the surface, but it was quite spacious, and it was divided into three layers, each filled with expensive jewels.
Each piece would drive a woman crazy, but her grandmother had so many, and that was only a part of her jewelry collection.
Ye Qingqing clicked her tongue in amazement. Good heavens, how rich must her grandmother's family have been before?
“This is Nianci’s favorite piece of jewelry. I have kept it safe for decades, and now it is being returned to its rightful owner.”
Ye Xunmei pressed down the lid and moved the box toward Gu Nianci without hesitation, without the slightest hesitation. Ye Qingqing couldn't help but frown. What tricks was this old bastard up to now?
Gu Nianci had already unconsciously raised her head, staring intently at her jewelry from back then, her eyes filled with longing and regret.
Things have changed, and people are no longer the same!
Forty years ago, jewelry would have been the icing on the cake for her; she wasn't afraid of being overwhelmed by it. But now, even the most expensive jewelry can't restore her former beauty!
"Really...for me?"
Gu Nianci was somewhat incredulous and asked in a hoarse voice.
Ye Xunmei smiled and nodded, "Yes, they were originally yours."
"Thanks……"
Gu Nianci's voice was choked with sobs, her eyes were moist, and her hands trembled slightly. This pathetic sight infuriated Ye Qingqing, who said angrily, "Grandma, why are you thanking him? These things were originally yours. He stole them, so it's only right that he return them to you. There's still half of the jewelry and silver dollars that he hasn't returned!"
Her grandmother must be out of her mind. It was clearly a thief returning stolen goods, and she's being grateful?
The old lady snorted coldly, thinking, "She's lived most of her life in vain. Even Qing'er is more insightful than her!"
Ye Xunmei couldn't help but say, "If I hadn't taken them back then, I'm afraid they would still be in someone else's hands now. Although I did some wrong things back then, I guess I've made amends for them by taking these jewels!"
Ye Qingqing looked at him with sarcasm. How could he be so shameless as to claim that he had done something?
"Even if you indirectly kept these jewels, it cannot atone for the sins you committed against Grandma and Dad back then. Now you come back pretending to be nice and say a few kind words, and return some jewels, do you really think you can get Grandma and Dad to forgive you?"
