Chapter 395 Pearl of the Orient
Yun Hao and Lu Yi looked at Yan Xiu'er in surprise and saw that she was still carrying the suitcase she had brought that morning.
Yun Hao tentatively asked, "Aunt Xiu, what do you mean by this...?"
Yan Xiuer placed her suitcase on the table with a flourish and then opened it.
Everyone stared in astonishment at the box full of US dollars.
Even Lu Yi stammered, "Mom, where...where did you get this money?"
Yan Xiu'er grinned smugly, "What do you think your mom does every day at work? This is money I earned myself."
Yun Hao looked enviously at the suitcase full of US dollars, "Lawyers make so much money?"
Yan Xiu'er shook her finger, "Of course I can't earn that much. I got it through a deal with someone else."
Some time ago, an American businessman came to Beijing, wanting to respond to the policy and develop his business here.
So he came to me to help him analyze various contracts and policies. He brought a large sum of money to China, wanting to make a big splash.
Since he's going to exchange it for RMB anyway, I'll just exchange it with him. I've been wanting to come to the US for a while now to see if there's anything new or interesting there.
Besides, he's very interested in Chinese things, so I secretly swapped some of your dad's ink sticks, brushes, and other things for him.
Lu Yi stared at her, dumbfounded. "My dad's ink sticks? Calligraphy brushes? You're selling these for money? Isn't that putting my dad's life at risk?"
Yan Xiu'er waved her hand, "Don't panic! The things I picked out aren't very precious. Your dad has a ton of them, all exactly the same. He has quite a few of them."
I only took a little; most of it was my own unwanted jewelry that I had discarded. Your dad's stuff, how much could it be worth?
Lu Yi looked at her with admiration, "Mom, this was truly a stroke of genius!"
Yan Xiu'er was even more smug, "When have I ever done things differently?"
After putting the two children to sleep, Ye Ran came out and was surprised to see a table full of money. "Mom, why did you bring so much money?"
Yan Xiuer took Ye Ran's hand directly, "These are all prepared by Mom for you, Ranran. Pick whatever you like! Mom will pay for it."
Lu Yi was both amused and exasperated. "Mom, didn't you just say this money was for us?"
Yan Xiu'er glared at him, "I can give it to you, but we'll have to wait until Ranran gets some first!"
Ye Ran affectionately linked arms with Yan Xiu'er, "Mom, thank you, but it's no need. I already said I'd pay the bill here."
Since Lu Yi needs this money, let them use it. But Lu Yi, you have to pay it back!
Lu Yi nodded, "Of course! Mom, I'll pay you back with interest!"
Yan Xiu'er nodded as a matter of course, "If it's a loan to you, then of course you have to pay it back. But you don't need to pay back the principal and interest. We'll see if you can handle things properly then."
Lu Yi said confidently, "I can definitely get it done! With your strong support, how could I not give it my all?"
Yan Xiu'er looked at her son proudly, "Mom believes in you, do a good job! I don't care about anything else, I want to go shopping with Ranran."
"OK!"
Yun Hao chuckled and put his arm around Lu Yi's shoulder. "Brother, I don't need to transfer the money to you, right?"
"I don't need it for now, you can use it to buy a machine."
