Chapter 135 Will He Still Have a Place in the Family in the Future?
Jin Ye's eyes widened.
"Why is this purple bracelet the same as mine?"
If you don’t know, you might think that big brother stole her things and gave them to her.
Fortunately, she happened to be wearing it today.
A contrast.
The two jade bracelets are the same size and color, with a delicate texture and a restrained luster, exuding the mysterious beauty unique to purple jade.
"They were originally a pair from the Ming Dynasty court, but for some reason they were collected separately." Wei Yanting said slowly, "Yours was bought in Suzhou two years ago, and mine was bought in Beicheng last year."
Wei Liangchen's eyes darkened.
Wei Yanting smiled again and said, "I went there late the year before last, so I didn't take the photo. Later, I had an emergency and went to North City. I took the photo in North City last year. I wanted to send you off when I went home, but I didn't because I had an emergency and went to North City."
As he spoke, he glanced at Wei Liangchen meaningfully, "I didn't notice it at first, until recently, when I found out you two were together, I was wondering, how could it be such a coincidence. Second brother, do you know why?"
Wei Shaoshuai looked calm and composed, saying, "I'm not a god, how would I know?"
"Really?" Wei Yanting said, "The Tang Dynasty jade Buddha statue that my superior Finance Minister received for his birthday was given by you, right? He asked me to go back twice because he had urgent matters."
"Heh." Wei Liangchen smiled, "What do you mean, brother?"
"Second brother knows it very well."
There seemed to be a crackling sound in the air and a spark flashed.
Jin Ye was a little confused, "But that's not right. The bracelet I'm wearing was given to me by my second brother last year, not the year before. When he gave it to me, he told me that he bought it at a jewelry store for three hundred dollars."
How come it was sold at auction?
My brother said he didn’t take the photo two years ago.
Could it be... that the birthday present he said he was giving himself was this bracelet?
then……!!
"Wow, Xu Jinye, you've made a fortune." Jiaqi came over, her eyes wide open, "There's still one here, how can you be so lucky."
"Is this... expensive?"
"Of course." Jiaqi said sourly, "You don't care about these things, but you don't know that purple jade is rare, especially such a uniform and mellow violet purple. Tsk tsk, my brother can also ask for three hundred dollars? Add a thousand times."
Jin Ye suddenly felt the bracelet on his hand was heavy and he almost lost his grip on it.
No wonder Wei Liangchen was so angry last time she pawned it.
Three hundred thousand dollars.
"The pawn shop owner is such a rip-off!" She was angry. No, she should be angry about something else. She looked at the young marshal and said, "Why did you lie to me and say it was three hundred dollars?"
Wei Liangchen was not this nervous when he took the military academy graduation exam, but he still didn't show it. He just swallowed his saliva and said, "I'm afraid you will think it's too expensive and refuse to accept it."
"I'll take it even if you ask for 3 million."
Wei Liangchen: “…”
Jin Ye asked again: "Is this jade bracelet really worth three hundred thousand?"
Wei Liangchen: “Yeah.”
Jin Ye: "Did you take this photo in Suzhou two years ago?"
Wei Liangchen: “Yeah.”
Jin Ye: "Big brother also wanted to go and take the photo, and gave it to me as a birthday present?"
Wei Liangchen: “Yeah.”
…
The surroundings were silent for a moment.
"Ah, I spoke too quickly. This question should be answered by my elder brother. How would I know?" Even the dignified Young Marshal Wei was tricked.
Jin Ye smiled with a half-hearted smile, "Yeah, how would you know that?"
So, he not only knew, but also found some method to take the photo.
"My second brother is very powerful. Even the phone at home obeys your orders." Wei Yanting said with a smile.
Wei Liangchen was not to be outdone, "It's the same with you. Big brother has clairvoyance and hearing, and nothing can be hidden from you."
Wei Yanting sighed, "After all, I am not as good as my second brother who concealed the truth, lured the tiger away from the mountain, and took advantage of the fire to rob."
"Oh, big brother, you are honored."
The two brothers fought back and forth with swords flashing and sabers flying.
Jiaqi looked at this and that.
Suddenly I realized: "So this is the birthday gift that my eldest brother wanted to give to Xu Jinye last year, and my brother bought it first."
My brother is so shameless. Not only did he steal the gift from my eldest brother, he also sent someone to tell him that Uncle Jin Ye wanted to see her urgently, so he sent her away and prevented my eldest brother from seeing him.
Jin Ye asked her: "You said last time that my birthday was two years ago——"
Jiaqi waved her hands quickly: "I don't know anything."
If you tell her the truth, she will have no leverage over you.
But now half of it is gone.
Jin Ye's eyes fell on Wei Liangchen's face, "What's going on?"
Wei Liangchen's muscles tensed up, his face was still smiling, his pupils were dark, "That's it, the eldest brother is giving the second young mistress a wedding gift, you just accept it with a smile."
Wei Yanting looked at Jin Ye, his expression returning to gentleness.
Although there are some regrets, there is more of a calmness as the dust has settled and an open-mindedness that the past has gone like the wind.
He smiled slightly, "Although my second brother's methods are a bit dishonorable, he really likes you. This bracelet symbolizes happiness. I wish you a happy marriage and a long life together."
Wei Liangchen was a little dissatisfied, "Soldiers are not afraid of deception, why am I not honorable?"
"Don't talk yet."
The Second Young Madam glared.
Young Master Wei raised his eyebrows.
Haha, you are getting more and more courageous.
Will he still have a place in the family in the future?
Jin Ye looked at her elder brother, with a familiar smile, just like before, but a little different. Suddenly she understood something, but also a little confused. For a moment she didn't know what to feel, so she could only bow deeply, "Thank you, elder brother."
Wei Liangchen muttered to himself: Thank you for nothing, he came back on purpose to dismantle my table.
Wei Yanting: "You're welcome. If Liangchen bullies you next time, remember to tell big brother."
Wei Liangchen: ...
Jin Ye: "Okay, I will."
Wei Liangchen: …………
"Oh, Yan Ting is back." Governor Wei, Mrs. Wei, and Xu Xiaoyun came in one after another.
Mrs. Wei looked sharp and asked, "What is that?"
Jin Ye closed the wooden box and said, "This is my wedding present from my elder brother."
"Yanting is thoughtful." Mrs. Wei was not so gossipy as to insist on seeing the gifts. "How many days will you be back this time?"
Wei Yanting instantly turned into the calm and steady eldest son of the Wei family. "Two days, maybe. I'll go to Nanjing to participate in the peace talks the day after tomorrow."
Governor Wei nodded. "You have heard about the Zhang family. Mr. Zhang and his second son are still in the police department. Mayor Zhang may also resign. But Nanjing is still the Zhang family's territory. You have to be careful."
"I'm not afraid of them taking action, I'm just afraid of them not taking action." Wei Yanting's calm tone was a little cold, "Mayor Zhang has contacts with the Feng family."
"No wonder." The governor's eyes darkened, "They dared to bomb the special train. This time, the Zhang family is doomed."
Mrs. Wei was in a good mood. "Today is a good day. Let's add more dishes tonight to celebrate. We can also discuss the marriage of our two children while everyone is here."
"We should have a good talk. Xiaojin likes the old-fashioned wedding, but the previous one was too hasty. I plan to make up for it by completing the three books and six ceremonies." Young Marshal Wei straightened his back and reached out to embrace his wife.
Suddenly, he let out an "Ah," and bent over.
Jin Ye stepped hard on his foot, leaving him with a "humph"!
Crowd: …? ?
Jiaqi: It’s over. I can’t keep my secret anymore!
At night, Jin Ye moved the things back to her room and locked the door. She ignored Wei Liangchen's knocks.
Wei Liangchen had no choice but to climb out the window resentfully.
After so many years, he thought he had finally made it, but in the end he had to go back to the days of being a gecko and sneaking around.
