The old lady was also surprised and unexpected, never expecting to see the jewelry box again.
She also had an identical jewelry box back then. Because she had accidentally obtained a piece of fine sandalwood, there wasn't enough to make large furniture, so she could only make a jewelry box. The old lady asked the most famous carpenter in Pingjiang to make two boxes, one for her and one for Gu Nianci.
However, her dog was burned along with a bunch of furniture during the raid, which broke her heart. Now, even if she has money, she can hardly find good quality sandalwood anymore.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xunmei still had Gu Nianci's piece.
Ye Xunmei smiled slightly at Gu Nianci, her eyes full of affection. Gu Nianci quickly lowered her head again, her face showing a bit of girlish shyness. Her heart was in turmoil, and she nervously twisted her hands.
Ye Qingqing curled her lip in disdain. At her age, she still couldn't let go of matters of the heart. Her grandmother deserved to be deceived by a scumbag. She really had no reason to be wronged.
“This box was Nianci’s favorite, and the jewelry inside was also her most cherished possession. She was usually reluctant to wear it. I have always kept it carefully. Sometimes I am glad that I took it out with me, otherwise I am afraid that I would not have been able to keep it at home!”
Ye Xunmei sighed. He was actually telling the truth. If he didn't take those jewels and money, they would still be confiscated in a few years. Ye Xunmei never felt guilty about these assets.
He only felt guilty for abandoning Gu Nianci and her son back then.
Ye Qingqing understood what he meant. A scumbag is indeed a scumbag; he can always find an excuse when he does something wrong.
"So, you're saying my grandma should thank you for stealing from her?" Ye Qingqing said sarcastically.
Ye Xunmei looked at her kindly and said gently, "That's not what I meant. I was just stating the facts."
Ye Xunmei transferred all the guilt she felt towards Gu Nianci and Ye Mingcheng onto her granddaughter Ye Qingqing, whom she had just met, and became much more tolerant and patient with her.
On the contrary, Ye Susu, who grew up in front of him, did not win his favor. When she was young, Ye Susu was quite clever, but as she grew up, she became more and more like Tang Yufen.
She should be in the vibrant and lively years of her youth, but she insists on pretending to be as mature and composed as Li Wan. Li Wan had no choice but to act this way because her husband had died, but Ye Susu's pretentious behavior is completely devoid of spirit. She looks as lifeless as a dead fish, and Ye Xunmei gets a headache just looking at her.
The granddaughter raised outside is more likable; she's radiant and pleasing to the eye.
Ye Xunmei is indeed a complete scumbag, without a doubt.
But he is indeed talented, otherwise he wouldn't be so highly regarded by the Hong Kong media, and many programs would even invite him to be a guest, making him more popular than Tang Yufen.
Moreover, Ye Xunmei is a true beauty enthusiast. Regardless of gender, age, or social status, he only associates with people he considers beautiful.
And the beauty he considers truly is an unforgettable beauty. There was a beauty pageant in Hong Kong that invited Yip Shun-mei to be a judge, and the winner of that pageant was called the most beautiful Miss Hong Kong in history, and no one has surpassed her to this day.
Moreover, all of Ye Xunmei's girlfriends were real beauties; not one of them was ugly.
If I had to describe him by one person, Ye Xunmei could be compared to the utterly despicable male lead in the TV series "The Temptation of Returning to the Village." They are quite similar, both being blatantly scumbags.
