The meal was enjoyed by both the host and guests.
During the visit, Hua Sichen also consulted Ye Weiwei about some things related to gambling on jade. Ye Weiwei saw that he was indeed still upset about the lost red jade, so she smiled and said, "What is lost on one side may be gained on the other; it's not necessarily a bad thing."
In truth, although they took away the jade stones that those people had found in order to shift the blame to Zuo Chenglong, they also made the Zuo family refund the money they had spent on gambling on the stones and compensated them for any excess amount. It wasn't too excessive.
After all, Zuo Chenglong had the evil intentions first and drugged everyone; they were merely going along with the plan.
Hua Sichen was silent for a moment, then followed Ye Weiwei's gaze to the brocade box, her face showing excitement. "You... can I open it and take a look?"
Qin Xiao gestured for him to proceed.
Hua Sichen gently opened the box and saw a complete set of red jade jewelry inside. The quality and craftsmanship were clearly extraordinary!
"This...you...you've gone to too much trouble!"
Seeing the thing she had been longing for laid out before her, more magnificent and dazzling than she had imagined, Hua Sichen was at a loss for words.
But after hesitating for a moment, he closed the box and pushed it in front of Qin Xiao, saying, "This gift is too valuable; I can't accept it."
Although Qin Xiao's words sounded very sincere and well-intentioned, he knew in his heart that his little bit of busyness was not worth such an expensive gift.
He felt uneasy accepting it.
Ye Weiwei and Qin Xiao exchanged a glance, and Ye Weiwei felt even more favorably toward Hua Sichen.
This second young master Hua is a decent person.
"If it weren't for you, Second Young Master Hua, speaking up for us that day, we wouldn't have been implicated. I obtained this set of jewelry by chance before. I knew you were looking for this. It doesn't matter if it's valuable or not, just consider it as making friends."
Qin Xiao didn't say much, but he had an irresistible air about him: "Please accept it. Your aunt will be happy to see it."
Now that things have come to this point, it would seem pretentious for him to refuse any longer.
So Hua Sichen readily agreed, "Okay! Then I'll shamelessly accept it, thank you! If you ever need my help in the future, just let me know!"
After finishing their meal and parting ways with Hua Sichen, Qin Xiao and Ye Weiwei had their family driver drop them off midway and find a secluded spot where they entered their private space.
When they came out again, they had changed drastically and were now a brother and sister.
The two went to the real estate agency to see if there were any properties or shops they liked.
As it turned out, they actually found three shops for sale. These three shops were connected together, and the sellers didn't sell them separately, so they had been listed here for some time without being sold.
Ye Weiwei and Qin Xiao checked the location; it was on the most bustling street in Hong Kong. Although it was at the end of the street, the price was cheap. The price of three shops together was only the same as two shops in the central Mong Kok area.
After some haggling with the seller, Ye Weiwei and Qin Xiao finally bought the item for 660,000 yuan, which they paid on the spot using cash confiscated from the Qinglong Gang.
The transfer of ownership for the three shops was completed in less than an hour, and all the properties were registered under Ye Weiwei's name.
Ye Weiwei acquired three more property ownership certificates and entrusted a real estate agency to help rent them out. This agency has a complete buying, selling, and renting brokerage industry chain. They helped with the appraisal, handled the rental procedures, and then helped with the rental. After the property was rented out, the agency would take a certain percentage of the rent each year.
This was exactly what Ye Weiwei wanted.
Thinking that this house in the heart of the city would only cost about the same as a toilet in a few years, Ye Weiwei was delighted.
Unfortunately, real estate agencies can't find houses like the Yu family's.
Those properties are mostly owned by wealthy and powerful families, and unless a family falls on hard times, very few people will put them up for sale.
Ye Weiwei wasn't in a hurry; there was plenty of time ahead, and there would always be opportunities.
During dinner, Yu's father casually mentioned the martial law imposed on the port city and the inland customs.
"The Governor just issued an order; I don't know what happened."
Although he said that, his eyes were on Qin Xiao and Ye Weiwei. This matter was most likely related to what they had done. The Governor of Hong Kong must have been instructed by Smith to intervene.
Qin Xiao and Ye Weiwei, however, seemed completely oblivious to Yu's father's gaze and continued eating as if nothing had happened.
Even Yu's father had to admire the composure of these two.
Remain calm and composed in the face of adversity!
Even at his age, he couldn't do what they did.
"I heard that the Green Dragon Gang's stronghold was destroyed. The higher-ups are taking it very seriously. Recently, Hong Kong has been cracking down on all suspicious individuals. The situation is very chaotic. Unless you have something important to do, you should stay home for the next few days."
Qin Xiao and Ye Weiwei both agreed.
Although I said that, what I really thought was: staying home is impossible!
They need to go back as soon as possible; they can't stay here for long.
Yu's father assumed they had agreed, so he didn't say anything more.
However, after dinner, when Yu's father called Qin Xiao to the study, he looked worried.
What he didn't mention at the dinner table was that the Governor's Office had just issued a decree that was very unfavorable to the Yu family. Clearly, the Yu family was being targeted, and as for who was targeting the Yu family, I couldn't think of anyone other than Smith.
"Although I don't know if Smith has heard anything, there's no guarantee he won't do something even more outrageous next."
That person is a sheep in wolf's clothing; he appears to be a gentleman, but is more ruthless and vicious than anyone else.
Qin Xiao knew that Yu's father was worried and wanted to find out information, and he didn't mind if he knew: "Don't worry, he won't be able to cause trouble for long. Let's delay signing the overseas cooperation agreement between Yu's Group and him for a few days."
The father asked worriedly, "A few days is enough? I can make excuses to delay for another ten days or half a month, no problem. Your safety is the most important thing."
Qin Xiao's expression softened slightly. "Don't worry, there's enough time."
Seeing that he spoke with such confidence, Yu's father knew that he wasn't just doing it reluctantly, and was finally relieved.
Although he didn't know and wouldn't ask Qin Xiao how he would resolve the current crisis, Qin Xiao's words inexplicably gave him a sense of reassurance, making him unconsciously place his trust in him.
When it was time for bed that night, Qin Xiao went straight to Ye Weiwei's room without any attempt to hide it, which angered Yu's mother, who gave Ye Weiwei several sarcastic glares from below.
They practically had the words "vixen" tattooed on Ye Weiwei's face.
Ye Weiwei was speechless. Was it Qin Xiao who took the initiative to go to her room to find her?
Why is this mother not taking care of her "son" properly and giving her attitude?
Ye Weiwei entered the room and glared at Qin Xiao with annoyance.
Can't this guy just put up with it?
This is someone else's house, why do you have to be so clingy and affectionate?
Qin Xiao really couldn't stand it.
Last night, he found some books about mechanical design in Ye Weiwei's space. If he didn't have important business to attend to, he would have stayed home to read instead. Now he really couldn't wait a moment longer.
