Chapter 228 Sapphire
Su Youli received a lot of gifts on his fourth birthday. He only opened a small part of them before returning to Yunshui, and piled the remaining Tang beans in his toy room.
On the second day after returning to North City, the little guy finally remembered that he still had presents to open, so he drove his sports car into the toy room and didn't come out for a long time.
Most of the gifts here were sent by uncles and aunts he didn't know. After Tang Dou opened them, he put them away one by one and wrote them down in a memo to send to Chu Ying.
The little guy just opened the gifts and then stopped caring about them. He didn’t like any of them very much, as many of them were duplicates.
While sorting, Tang Dou found a unique gift, a priceless sapphire, which was placed in a red velvet gift box.
The gems were expensive, so Tang Dou took photos of them and sent them to Chu Ying.
Not long after, Chu Ying came over and looked at the gift box for a long time.
Su Youli ran away not long after opening the gift, and pestered Grandpa Li to take him to the flower shed to have a look.
The birthday gifts that Su Siwen and Qin Kun gave him were plant seeds brought back from abroad and a set of gardening tools specifically for children.
The little guy couldn't let it go and planted the seeds the next day.
They had been back in Yunshui for so long that most of the plant seeds that had been planted in the flower shed had sprouted a little, small and tender green.
The little guy squatted there and watched for a long time, reluctant to leave. He picked up the small kettle and watered them a little. While watering, he talked to the seeds: "You have to grow up quickly."
His seeds grew well, lying quietly in the soil, absorbing nutrients, and growing up just like him.
Pei Qiqi came over in the evening. He was not in Beicheng during the Chinese New Year period. He went to his aunt's house with his uncle to celebrate the New Year.
My aunt's home is in P City, and they lived in a large flat in P City for more than half a month.
As soon as Pei Qiqi saw him, he took out a big red envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into the little guy's pocket.
A small question mark appeared on Su Youli's face.
Pei Qiqi said, "This is the New Year's money that Grandpa Hua and Grandma Hua gave me. Here it is."
The little guy doesn’t have a deep understanding of money yet. He doesn’t lack anything and his family will buy him whatever he wants.
He has never bought anything with his own money.
However, he also knew that these were his brother's things and he could not take them, so he shook his head and stuffed the red envelope back to Brother Qiqi.
Pei Qiqi refused to take it and insisted: "I'll give you all my red envelopes."
The little guy's pockets were bulging with red envelopes. Seeing that brother Qiqi was so persistent, he took brother Qiqi's hand and ran to his room.
Pei Qiqi was still a little confused when he pulled her into the room, "Youyou?"
The little guy turned his back to him and took out a small box from the cabinet. This was his treasure box, a birthday gift from his second brother, and it contained his treasures.
He pressed his finger on the box and it opened with a snap.
There was everything in the treasure box. The small certificates and red flowers he gave to his fathers were all placed in here by his father. There was also a piece of chocolate that his mother gave him yesterday, and the dried sweet potatoes that Grandma Yang gave him before she left, which he didn't finish, and he also put them in there...
Under the dried sweet potatoes was a pile of red stuff, the same as the one in the little guy’s pocket, which was given to him by his family.
He took one out and handed it to Pei Qiqi.
"Brother Qiqi, this is for you."
The little guy thought that Brother Qiqi wanted to exchange New Year's money with him, so he chose the biggest one and gave it to him, and put the one in his pocket into the treasure box.
Pei Qiqi was stunned when he looked at the red envelope in his hand. He didn't want to exchange red envelopes with Youyou.
The box couldn't be opened in vain, so the little guy sat on the ground, grabbed the dried sweet potatoes inside, took two bites, tore off a small piece and handed it to Pei Qiqi.
"Brother Qiqi, these are the sweet potatoes grown by Grandma Yang. They are delicious!"
The sweet potatoes are grown by Grandma Yang herself. After digging them out of the ground, they are washed, peeled, cut into even-sized pieces, steamed and then dried in the sun.
Homemade sweet potatoes are sweet without adding sugar, and they are fragrant, soft and delicious.
Pei Qiqi squatted down and stretched his neck to look into his small safe.
There was everything in it, food, toys and daily necessities, even two jellies, a pudding and a bottle of milk.
Pei Qiqi frowned deeply, and when the little guy closed the box, he said, "Youyou, these things can't be put together."
"Why?" The second brother said that anything he liked could be put in there.
Pei Qiqi took out the dried sweet potatoes and said, "You have to put them in the refrigerator, otherwise they will get moldy."
The little guy opened his eyes wide, unable to believe that his snacks would get moldy in there.
But Brother Qiqi is very smart, he will definitely not lie to me.
"And mice will come to steal the chocolate. If the weather is hot, the chocolate will melt and stain other things in the box..."
Su Youli: “!”
What?
How can he tolerate the fact that mice will come and steal his food?
In the end, Youyou listened to brother Qiqi's words, took out all the snacks from the treasure box, put them in a small bag, and asked brother Xiaotang to put them away for him.
Because of an unsigned sapphire, Chu Ying specially called the manager of the banquet that day to inquire about it.
The security and precautions at Chen Garden are very strict, and no one without an invitation will be allowed in.
The butler searched the manual over and over again, but there was indeed no record of Lan Feng about this sapphire.
Blue gemstones symbolize peace, and are very suitable as birthday gifts for children, but who should give them?
The banquet butler put on gloves and placed the velvet gift box in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully.
"Could it be that a guest forgot to register their gift?"
Chu Ying shook her head: "No."
How could such a valuable gift be given without leaving a name?
The cutting process of this gem is perfect. Every facet seems to have been carefully calculated, with clear and sharp edges, and the refracted light falls on Chu Ying's profile.
The butler put the box down and continued to search for it.
Chu Ying was dazzled by the light, and suddenly a voice sounded in her mind: "Second sister, sapphire suits you very well, so beautiful."
She once received a set of sapphire jewelry, which was given to her by her younger brother on her 30th birthday.
The set of jewelry is still well kept in her jewelry cabinet. She still remembers how dazzling she looked when she wore the set of jewelry at the birthday party.
Her sixth sense told her that this sapphire was given by Chu Yi.
"No need to look for it. Let me have a look at the surveillance video of the entrance that day." She put the box away and said to the housekeeper.
The housekeeper nodded and immediately went to the monitoring room to check the surveillance.
In the evening, Chen Yan came over to pick her up for dinner.
He was a little curious about why his mother suddenly wanted to watch the surveillance video.
Chu Ying pressed her solar plexus and felt a slight headache after watching the surveillance video for the whole afternoon.
"Your uncle might have come on Youyou's birthday, but the surveillance camera didn't capture him. He might have just put the things down and left."
