Wu Youyou felt much more at ease after receiving her second brother's promise. Three years later, she planned to sign her second brother herself to pave the way for his future.
The clock on the wall showed that it was past six o'clock. Wu Youyou thought to herself that Shi Zhan and the others should be arriving soon.
She got up and went back to her room, changed into a beautiful outfit, and dressed herself up. When she came out, Wu Zhenyuan and the others had just returned.
Song Lan looked at her daughter's exquisite attire and was also very happy. She was really afraid that her daughter would be upset or angry because of what happened last night. She smiled and walked over to Wu Youyou.
"Youyou, look, this gemstone necklace was bought for you by your father, and it's quite expensive!"
Before Wu Youyou could speak, He Qiangwei stepped forward and said,
"Yes! Youyou, this necklace was specially picked out for you by your aunt. It's worth over 60 million. Dad bought it for you even though it was a painful expense. Open it and see if you like it!"
Wu Youyou ignored He Qiangwei's expression and instead smiled as she accepted the gift from her mother. She placed it on the coffee table, opened it, and her eyes widened instantly. She recognized the necklace all too well.
In her past life, He Qiangwei had chosen this gemstone necklace with her father at a gemstone shop. She also picked out a gemstone necklace of the same price for herself. Her father had actually bought two of them, intending one for his daughter and one for his daughter-in-law.
I never expected to encounter this gift again in this lifetime.
Wu Youyou looked at He Qiangwei with great dissatisfaction. You've worked so hard to dig out money from the Wu family. You must be exhausted!
"Youyou, do you like it?"
Song Lan's voice rang in Wu Youyou's ears, causing Wu Youyou to look away from He Qiangwei. When she turned to look at her mother, her face was full of smiles.
"Thank you, Mom! I really like this. I'm sure you bought one for Qiangwei too!"
A hint of embarrassment crossed Song Lan's face. She held Wu Youyou's hands, her eyes filled with love.
"Youyou, this is something Mom specially chose for you. It's all thanks to Rose's good taste. Rose and we are family now, so Mom also picked one out for Rose as a gift. I'm so happy to see that you like it!"
When buying the jewelry, Wu Zhenyuan once wanted He Qiangwei to call Song Lan "Mom." He Qiangwei burst into tears on the spot, saying that every time she called her "Mom," she would think of He Qingjie, and every time she thought of her, she would feel sad.
Wu Zhenyuan and Song Lan quickly stepped forward to comfort her, saying that she could just call her Auntie from now on.
To make up for her sadness, Song Lan specially bought her a gemstone necklace. At the time, Song Lan thought that a ten million one would be enough, but He Qiangwei took a fancy to a gemstone necklace worth more than sixty million.
Song Lan felt that her daughter had also been wronged, so she asked He Zhenyuan to buy a gemstone necklace of the same price.
During this time, He Qiangwei's gaze towards Song Lan was like a knife.
Although Wu Youyou did not know the situation at the time, her father must have been heartbroken to have to spend more than 120 million yuan of his money.
Wu Qifeng was stunned by what he saw. His father had bled today! He looked at Wu Youyou...
"Little sister, all your jewelry combined must be worth at least a billion!"
Wu Youyou immediately looked at He Qiangwei and found her eyes filled with disbelief and jealousy. So she turned her head and pretended to scold her second brother.
"Second brother, you're confused. If I had a billion, why would I bother going to university? I'd just lie down and relax!"
Only Wu Youyou's mother and second brother knew how much jewelry she owned; her father had no idea, because her maternal grandfather usually gave her jewelry in secret!
Wu Youyou also knew that her maternal grandfather had given her older brothers more benefits than he had given himself.
In her past life, Wu Youyou didn't know how He Qiangwei found out that she had a dowry of over 1 billion. When her family searched her home, they only found 200 million worth of jewelry. However, He Qiangwei didn't believe her and insisted that she had over 1 billion worth of jewelry. Helpless, Wu Youyou ended up penniless.
In hindsight, it seems that the second brother was just being too quick to let it slip, and He Qiangwei must now suspect that she has over a billion worth of jewelry.
Wu Qifeng instantly realized he might have let something slip and quickly changed his mind.
"Oh, I was just exaggerating. If you have two hundred million, I'll admit defeat!"
Song Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want Wu Zhenyuan to know about the family's possessions on her children, because she understood that these jewels were for her children to protect themselves. She vaguely remembered her father saying that Wu Zhenyuan was too eager for quick success and instant benefits in business and did not follow the right path. If he failed one day, at least the children wouldn't have to suffer along with him.
Although Song Lan believed in Wu Zhenyuan, she thought one thing at a time. The child's child was the child's child, and no one could take it away in the future, including herself!
When Wu Zhenyuan first heard Wu Qifeng say that Wu Youyou actually had jewelry worth 1 billion, he was immediately frightened. But when he heard Wu Qifeng say that he was joking, he thought about it carefully and also felt that Wu Qifeng was exaggerating. The reason why he was willing to buy jewelry over the years was because jewelry has the potential to appreciate in value. They are all family, and if something happens in the future, they can use it for emergencies.
Wu Zhenyuan then addressed everyone,
"Alright, all of you, stop discussing it. Didn't Youyou say some classmates are coming over tonight? Hurry up and get ready!"
Everyone tacitly packed their things. When He Qiangwei left the living room and returned to her room, she tidied up her belongings. Looking at her jewelry box, she saw only two pieces of jewelry, totaling a mere 100 million. A sudden surge of resentment washed over her. She couldn't believe Wu Youyou's jewelry box only contained 200 million; it must be as Wu Qifeng had said, at least a billion. He Qiangwei's eyes blazed with endless jealousy and greed.
