Chapter 81 A Gift for My Daughter-in-law
Dad Quan took out a phoenix hairpin, which was made of pure gold. It used the hollowing and inlay techniques of a certain dynasty, as well as some other techniques. It was inlaid with many red and green gems, which set off each other and made the phoenix hairpin lifelike.
It is a collection that can be displayed in the museum. It was passed down from the ancestors of the Quan family. No one knows how many generations it has been passed down. All we know is that the ancestor used to be an official. This hairpin was specially given to Mrs. Quan by the Queen. There is only one such hairpin in the world.
Whether it is valuable or not is one thing, but the main thing is that it has the attribute of inheritance. It must be confirmed that it is given by Mrs. Quan. If they divorce, the hairpin must be returned. Other treasures of the Quan family can be thrown away, but this hairpin cannot.
And this is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that the wind is not favorable now, and keeping this thing in hand is like a hot potato. If it weren't for the Quan family's powerful network of relationships and its own high position, they might not be able to keep this thing.
Their family has already given away most of their belongings for safety reasons. They haven't even hired a nanny in these years and have been doing all the cooking and housework by themselves.
Gao Shuang had hidden this hairpin a long time ago and hadn't taken it out to show off in public for several years. It was too sudden to take it out now. No wonder even Quan Ruifeng was surprised.
Xia Xian could tell from Quan Ruifeng's expression that the hairpin was valuable. Of course, even if Quan Ruifeng didn't say it, Xia Xian could tell, but his reaction made her feel that the hairpin was even more valuable, so she quickly declined.
"Uncle, I can't accept such an expensive gift. You should take it back."
"Dad, you and mom should keep these things. Young people don't need them."
Quan Ruifeng also refused.
It's not that he was reluctant to give this hairpin to Xia Xian, it's just that it was too valuable. Xia Xian would definitely not want it. If she took it, it would be like holding a hot potato, making her feel uneasy and maybe even get into trouble.
So there is no need to give it to her.
Also, if Xia Xian accidentally lost the hairpin, his family would definitely be dissatisfied. After all, it has been passed down for so many years, and if it disappeared from Xia Xian's hands, it would be impossible for them not to be angry.
Quan Ruifeng will not give such a thing a chance to happen, so he must stop it at the source.
"It's okay, just keep it and play with it."
"These things are more suitable for young people. Your mother, your grandmother and I have unanimously decided to give them to Comrade Xia Xian. However, it is not appropriate to wear them now. Keep them for private appreciation."
Mr. Quan handed the hairpin to Xia Xian and also gave her some subtle instructions, telling her not to take it out and show off.
Quan Ruifeng must like smart people, and there is no way Xia Xian couldn’t understand what he meant.
However, everyone knows these days that such things cannot be taken out, and there is no need to give too many instructions.
Xia Xian really felt that this was a hot potato, and if she was not careful she would end up burning herself to death, so she was determined not to accept it and gave the hairpin to Quan Ruifeng.
"I appreciate your kindness, uncle, but this hairpin really doesn't suit me, so I can't take it. I'd better give it to Quan Ruifeng for safekeeping."
Xia Xian is a clear-headed person and would not steal something just because it is valuable.
Quan Ruifeng put the hairpin into his trouser pocket to stop the two from making excuses.
"Please prepare another gift. I will keep this one for now. When I get married, I will personally give it to my wife."
"Don't you think so, Xia Xian?"
Quan Ruifeng asked Xia Xian slowly, as if Xia Xian would be his wife in the future.
However, Xia Xian did not think of this meaning at the moment, and she quickly nodded in agreement.
"Yeah yeah!"
Only after she responded did she come to her senses and realize that something seemed wrong.
This Quan Ruifeng is really...
Did he really want to announce to everyone that he liked her? Could he be more reserved?!
What if he couldn't marry her in the future? Wouldn't that mean he would lose everything? How could anyone be so high-profile as a tool?
Xia Xian held her forehead with her hand. If it weren't for Father Quan, Xia Xian would have wanted to pinch him again. This man really knew how to push further and further within her bottom line, and then step by step lower her bottom line and defense line.
Xia Xian had a premonition that sooner or later she would be boiled to death by Quan Ruifeng's boiling frog!
After all, this man is too smart and scheming!
However, even with this premonition, Xia Xian would not feel uneasy. Perhaps Quan Ruifeng was slowly gaining her trust, and she would not be suspicious and wary of Quan Ruifeng like she was of other men.
"Well, since you both don't want to, forget it. Your mother and I will prepare another gift."
Mr. Quan smiled helplessly and said nothing more. As elders, they couldn't force the younger generation to do anything. This kind of thing should be done voluntarily.
Seeing that Mr. Quan finally gave up the idea, Xia Xian also breathed a sigh of relief. Amitabha, it's a blessing in disguise. Otherwise, if such a valuable thing was lost, she wouldn't be able to afford the compensation with her life!
Quan Ruifeng's previous emphasis on family members played a very important role. Xia Xian felt very safe staying in the Quan family. Everyone was very nice to her and she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
Moreover, with Quan Ruifeng's company, Xia Xian gradually became familiar with the surrounding roads. She would not get lost even if she went out alone, and she also had a better understanding of life in Beijing.
Even though it's only been a few days, Xia Xian has already shown signs of integrating into Beijing.
And the other side.
After Xiao Jun and Bai Lian were arrested one after another, they are still in the police station and have not been released at all.
Coupled with the trouble caused by Wei Zhiwei, Ke Bowen and Chu Sheng, Bai Lian's glorious deeds became a hot topic and almost everyone in the county knew about it.
Fortunately, Bai Lian is now in the Public Security Bureau. Otherwise, if she came out, not only would people point at her spine and curse her when she walked on the street, but passers-by would probably throw some stinky stones at her.
How could there be such a woman in this world?
But there is still good news. Seeing what happened to Bai Lian and Xiao Jun, Wei Zhiwei didn't want to have a wife and son in jail, so he didn't drag Bai Lian down this time. Instead, he simply divorced her and kicked her and Xiao Jun out of the house. I don't know if this can be considered a pleasant surprise.
Maybe, but Bai Lian couldn't laugh.
The verdict has come down. Xiao Jun will be sent to a juvenile detention center for ten years. When he comes out, no one knows what the times will be like!
He would grow from a child into a teenager! And she would never see him again!
That's her only son!
Bai Lian, the guardian, was sentenced to three months in prison for failing to supervise his son properly and was suspected of instigating his son to do bad things.
Although Bai Lian was heartbroken about her only son, she couldn't let both of them go to jail. In the end, she didn't know how she could get Xiao Jun to plead guilty and not implicate her. As a result, she was only sentenced to three months in prison, and it was a suspended sentence.
However, Bai Lian was still not satisfied with the result. Even if it was a suspended sentence, she would be locked up if she was not careful. She did not want to go to jail. Jail was so scary, and who knew what kind of extremely evil people were imprisoned there!
she demanded immediately when the verdict came down.
"I want to meet Xia Xian. If Xia Xian is willing to write me a letter of apology and forgive me, can I get rid of the suspended sentence and be exempted from punishment directly?"
She asked anxiously, not knowing at all that Xia Xian had already gone to Beijing and was living a good life.
Chu Sheng and Ke Bowen still stick with Bai Lian, even though Bai Lian is like this. In order to rescue Bai Lian, the two men actually choose to unite to face the outside world first! Rescue Bai Lian first!
