Chapter 280 Antique Vase



Ye Ya asked, "Sister Xia, is your family very rich?"

“Little Wild Girl, although my family isn’t exactly rich, we have more than enough money to buy you a few clothes.”

Wild Girl happily followed Summer away, without even turning her head back.

Ma Yunfei shook his head and muttered, "This wild girl is truly opportunistic. She'll buy clothes for anyone who feeds her, and then she'll just leave me, her brother, out in the cold."

Ma Yunfei glanced upstairs and thought to himself: I wonder how Li Sha and Wang Xiaobian's talk went.

Just now, Li Sha shamelessly boasted that her great-grandfather was a big capitalist and that her grandfather was a division commander.

Ma Yunfei once heard Li Sha's father say that Li Sha's grandfather was also a barber, but he was very skilled and his knife was famous far and wide.

He used two razors to shave people. When shaving, he would throw one razor in the air, use the other razor to shave, then throw the other razor in the air again and catch it. He would do this tossing and catching, just like performing acrobatics.

Some timid men are afraid to let a knife shave them, fearing that the knife will fall on their necks.

However, there were still more daring men who rushed to shave.

As for Li Sha's great-grandfather, he was also a barber, but his skills were mediocre, and he could only make a living from it.

Li Sha's boasting in front of Wang Xiaobian is a sign of her insecurity; she doesn't want Wang Xiaobian to think she's trying to climb the social ladder.

Ma Yunfei muttered to himself, "This Li Sha is really good at bragging. I wonder what else she can brag about."

At this moment, Li Sha and Wang Xiaobian were having a lively conversation.

Li Sha wanted to give Wang Xiaobian the impression that her family was very prominent, and she also wanted to give Wang Xiaobian a second impression that her family was also very wealthy.

However, Li Sha's family only ran a barbershop. Although she called it a beauty salon, the ugly daughter-in-law would eventually meet her in-laws. If she married Wang Xiaobian, the truth would come out as soon as Wang Xiaobian went to Qinglong Town.

Li Sha frowned and came up with another brilliant plan.

She pretended to be mysterious and said to Wang Xiaobian, "My family has an heirloom that I've heard is priceless, or even invaluable."

Wang Xiaobian asked in surprise, "What kind of treasure is it?"

“When I was six years old, my mother became seriously ill and was on the verge of death. That night, my mother told my father that she wanted to see that treasure. In the middle of the night, I suddenly woke up from my dream and opened my eyes to see my father holding a vase. He held the vase in front of my mother and said, ‘Look at this.’ My mother wanted to touch it, but my father wouldn’t let her, saying that he was afraid she would break it. My father told my mother that this treasure could buy a city like Beijing.”

Wang Xiaobian was startled and asked, "What dynasty does this vase belong to?"

Li Sha shook her head and replied, "As for which dynasty it is from, I don't know. My dad is very tight-lipped and hasn't revealed anything. But I do know one thing: my dad said this vase could buy a city like Beijing. Just think about it, the value of a vase is equivalent to the value of a city like Beijing. You tell me, how valuable is that?"

Wang Xiaobian exclaimed, "My goodness! I never imagined your family had such a valuable treasure. But I wonder where your father keeps it. Please, don't let anyone find out!"

“My dad must have buried this treasure. As for where he buried it, he probably won’t tell me until he’s on his deathbed.”

Wang Xiaobian asked, "How many sisters do you have?"

"I'm an only child, and this precious treasure will eventually be passed down to me."

Wang Xiaobian said worriedly, "Miss Li, I want to remind you that if your father suddenly passes away and doesn't have time to leave a will, then where this treasure is buried will become an unsolved mystery."

"Hehe... That's what I thought too. A few years ago, I reminded my dad to tell me where I was buried. My dad said: 'Daughter, don't worry, even if I suddenly die, you will know where I am buried.' I guess my dad must have used a code to write the burial location in a notebook. When the time comes, as long as I see the code, I will be able to find the burial location."

Wang Xiaobian said worriedly, "What if we can't crack this code? Won't this vase be buried underground forever, never to see the light of day again?"

"No, my dad is very shrewd. I'll definitely be able to understand the code he writes."

Wang Xiaobian said enviously, "Miss Li, I didn't expect your family to have such a priceless treasure. It's much better than mine. My family only has one company. Although we have tens of millions in net assets, it can go bankrupt at any time."

Li Sha said, "It's not that easy for a company to go bankrupt. As long as you manage it well, it will only become more and more prosperous. Brother Wang, if you don't want to run the company, then leave it to me. I'm a born entrepreneur. If you hand over your company to me, I guarantee that I can double your assets in ten years."

"Great, that's wonderful! My head starts to ache whenever my parents mention me taking over the business. I don't want to be in meetings all the time, thinking about making money all the time. It's so annoying. If you could be my wife, I wouldn't have to worry about this anymore. I'll hand the whole company over to you then."

Li Sha seemed to think that Qiankun Trading Company was already under her control, and that in the future, she would be the head of Qiankun Trading Company and the empress dowager of this business empire.

"Brother Wang, you can just sit back and do whatever you want. As for me, I'll work my ass off for the Wang family, giving my all until my dying breath."

Wang Xiaobian was overjoyed. He suddenly realized that Li Sha was much better than Xia Tian.

Summer isn't interested in money, nor is she keen on running a company.

But Li Sha was born to be a natural businesswoman.

“Miss Li, I…I’ll go back and talk to my mom and ask her to meet you. I think she’ll definitely like you.”

Li Sha was very pleased with herself. She had won over Wang Xiaobian with just a few words, and it was clear that Wang Xiaobian had fallen in love with her.

However, Wang Xiaobian's mother was not so easy to deal with.

Li Sha asked, "What kind of woman does your mother want as her daughter-in-law?"

Wang Xiaobian scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said, "My mom is a very extravagant person, you could say she spends money like water, but she wants her daughter-in-law to be frugal and good at managing money. Don't you think my mom is a bit strange?"

"Hehe... I think your mother is normal. If she has a thrifty daughter-in-law, your Wang family will prosper. But if she has a spendthrift daughter-in-law, even if she has a fortune, she will squander it all."
