Lu Yuan chuckled, "Yes, I just went to find my wife."
Gao Weishan and Xiao Biyun found it unbelievable, but they had no choice but to believe it.
"Is there really such a miraculous secret technique?" Gao Weishan asked.
Lu Yuan nodded, "It is indeed hard to believe. If I hadn't experienced it myself, I wouldn't have believed it either."
"So you really did come back to see Xiaoxue before, and the child in her belly is really yours?" Xiao Biyun was still most concerned about the child.
"Yes, I came back once during the Chinese New Year."
If it were during the Chinese New Year, the timing would be perfect.
Xiao Biyun suddenly realized, "No wonder Xiaoxue went back to her room to rest early on New Year's Day. She was waiting for you."
Then a hint of resentment crept in, "Since you came back that day, why didn't you even see your dad and me?"
Lu Yuan helplessly spread his hands, "Mom, didn't I say that I can only see my wife when she's alone and no one else is around?"
"You mean you can only see your wife?" Gao Weishan asked.
"Yes, I can only see my wife, not anyone else."
"So that's how it is. It seems Xiaoxue is the one destined for you," Xiao Biyun said.
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Of course, he and his wife are destined to be together for two lifetimes."
"Mom and Dad, you can't doubt my wife anymore. She would never do anything to betray me."
Gao Weishan and Xiao Biyun were both a little embarrassed. They had no idea that such a miraculous thing could happen.
"It was our fault, it won't happen again."
Biyun apologized, and from then on, even if they believed the sun rose in the west, they would never doubt their daughter-in-law.
Gao Weishan also felt somewhat guilty, so the couple selected a set of valuable jewelry from their private collection and gave it to Lu Yuan.
"You take us to apologize to Xiaoxue."
Lu Yuan opened the jewelry box, inside was a set of jade jewelry: a necklace, earrings, and a pair of bracelets, the color of which appeared to be imperial green.
Lu Yuan accepted the gift with a smile, "Thank you, Mom and Dad!"
Although they don't lack good things, this is a token of their parents' goodwill and sincerity.
Lu Yuan returned home and handed the jewelry to Wen Moxue.
"Your parents misunderstood you and want to apologize."
Wen Moxue retorted angrily, "I didn't blame them, why do I need gifts?"
It's understandable that they overthink things.
"Your parents gave it to you, so just take it."
Wen Moxue accepted it and opened it to take a look.
"Tsk, it's so valuable, it could be a family heirloom."
Such a set of jewelry would probably be worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in later generations.
Lu Yuan smiled. If this could be a family heirloom, his family had quite a few things that could be heirlooms.
"Although my parents have explained it clearly, others can't. My parents and I mean that we'll tell everyone that you're only a little over a month pregnant."
Wen Moxue carefully put the jewelry away.
"Yes, I'll listen to you. This way, we can avoid some gossip."
After the couple finished talking about this, Wen Moxue suddenly remembered the time he went to answer the phone earlier.
Who called you?
“It’s to aid Korea,” Lu Yuan replied.
"Are he and Liqin coming back?"
"No, they said that the Jia family returned to Kyoto and discovered that the money Professor Jia had sent back over the years had been embezzled. They are still dealing with this matter and will not return until it is resolved."
"It was embezzled? How much was embezzled?" Wen Moxue asked curiously.
“It’s quite a lot. I heard that they didn’t receive any money for the first two years after they came to our brigade. Adding the money over the past ten years or so, they must have accumulated at least $30,000.”
"That's quite a lot."
"Yes, everyone is shirking responsibility now, saying that the money never even reached the country, and the specific details are still under investigation."
"Can this be investigated in a short time?"
"If the investigators are efficient, the process will be fast; if they are only superficially compliant, then things are not so certain."
Lu Yuan reached out and pulled the person into his arms. "Uncle Wei and the others already know about this. I also spoke with Uncle Yu. They will take this matter seriously, and I believe there will be a result soon."
Indeed, the results came quickly. Half a month later, Lu Yuanchao sent another message saying that the matter had been investigated and resolved.
It was indeed embezzled; a total of over 39,000 US dollars was returned in full.
In addition, the Jia family's salaries over the past few years amounted to several thousand yuan. Now the Jia family has received a considerable sum of money.
After discussing it, the Jia family divided the money among themselves, with Jia Liqin and Lu Yuanchao receiving an additional ten thousand US dollars.
Privately, Jia Mingquan and Lu Pinru also gave Jia Liqin 5,000 yuan, saying it was as part of her dowry.
The couple found their trip to Kyoto to be quite fruitful.
When Lu Yuanchao returned, he went to drink with Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan prepared a plate of peanuts and a plate of pork ear meat, and the two drank and chatted in the yard.
“I used to earn quite a bit each month, and last time I even made over ten thousand yuan, which made me quite proud. But now my wife’s family gave me twenty-five thousand yuan, which immediately put me to shame.”
Lu Yuan looked at the man's smug yet somewhat awkward expression, which seemed rather irritating.
Isn't this just Versailles?!
Do you feel like you're living off a woman?
Lu Yuanchao nodded heavily, "Yes, Brother Yuan, that's the feeling."
Lu Yuan glanced at him sideways, "Isn't being a kept man better?"
Lu Yuanchao chuckled, "It smells good!"
You should be secretly happy.
After exchanging jokes for a while, Lu Yuanchao got down to business.
“I bought three houses this time, one for you, one for me, and one for my father-in-law’s family. I told my brother-in-law that if anyone else comes along to sell a house, I’ll buy it for you.”
Lu Yuan raised his glass and clinked it against his. "Thanks!"
