On the way back, Xiao Chen looked at Tong Yan and thought of something.
"By the way, I'm going to the bathroom. What did Uncle Seven say to you?"
"Ah? He...he asked me for a favor."
Tong Yan hesitated and said.
"Help? What help?"
Xiao Chen was stunned and a little curious.
"He asked me to persuade you to return to the Xiao family..."
Tong Yan said in a low voice.
"Return to the Xiao family? It seems that Uncle Qi still refuses to give up."
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly.
"Brother Chen, are you angry? Don't be angry..."
Tong Yan looked at Xiao Chen and said nervously.
"I'm not angry, it's just...Xiao Yan, you'd better not interfere in the affairs between me and the Xiao family."
Xiao Chen shook his head and said.
"Yeah, I won't interfere. It's just that Uncle Qi asked me for help and I was embarrassed to refuse."
Tong Yan nodded.
"Brother Chen, as long as you are happy, I will support you no matter what decision you make."
"Haha."
Xiao Chen chuckled and lit a cigarette.
After a while, Tong Yan saw that the atmosphere in the car was a bit depressing, so she took out a piece of jade.
"Brother Chen, what kind of jade is this? It feels warm."
Tong Yan changed the subject and asked.
"Ah? Oh, this is top-grade warm jade. Wear it on your body in the future. It will be good for your health."
Xiao Chen took a look and said to Tong Yan.
"Top-grade warm jade? Is it very expensive?"
Tong Yan looked at the jade in her hand. This was the gift Xiao Lin gave her during their meal.
"Well, I estimate the market price will not be less than 30 million, or even higher."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"What? Thirty million?"
Hearing this, Tong Yan's hands trembled and she almost dropped the jade.
She opened her eyes wide and stared at the jade in her hand with a dazed look. Is this thing so expensive?
Although she thought that this jade should not be cheap, she never expected it to be so expensive!
Thirty million, what does that mean!
Well, Tong Yan thought about it and she had no idea, but it must be a lot.
"Brother Chen, you, you should return this warm jade to Uncle Qi. I can't take it."
Tong Yan shook her head.
"Hehe, what's wrong?"
Xiao Chen looked at her and smiled.
“It’s too expensive!”
Tong Yan felt that the jade was a bit heavy.
"Hehe, how much did you think it was?"
Xiao Chen asked with a smile.
"I...I thought it would be tens of thousands at most."
Tong Yan whispered.
"Tens of thousands of dollars? Haha, Xiaoyan, aren't you scolding the Xiao family's Qilinzi? Tens of thousands of dollars, what can Uncle Qi afford?"
Xiao Chen chuckled.
"Since Uncle Seven gave it to you, just keep it."
"But it's too expensive..."
Tong Yan shook her head.
"Not expensive. In my eyes, you are a priceless treasure... No matter how expensive this thing is, it has a price."
Xiao Chen looked at Tong Yan and said softly.
"Wearing it on your body in the future can warm your body."
"But I'd worry about it getting lost or stolen."
Tong Yan was moved by Xiao Chen's words, but still said with a wry smile.
"It can't be thrown away. Listen to me... How can I take back the things that Uncle Qi gave away?"
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"If you return it, he will be unhappy."
"Can……"
"Okay, accept it. This is a token of my uncle's love. Its value cannot be measured by money."
After hearing this, Tong Yan nodded and put it away carefully.
Xiao Chen looked a little helpless. Was it really necessary to do this?
However, these tens of millions of items are indeed worth a lot of money for most people.
"Seventh Uncle is quite generous. I wonder how many warm jades he has. Is there enough to share... Well, Tongyan is already there, then there's Ziyi, Sister Lan, Sister Fairy, Qiuzi... and Su Qing, Xiaomeng, cough, no, Xiaomeng doesn't count. What are you thinking about!"
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"How many are there? One for each person. I don't know if it's enough..."
"Brother Chen, what are you doing?"
Tong Yan noticed Xiao Chen's actions and asked curiously.
"Ah? No, nothing."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Xiao Yan, don't leave this warm jade at home, just wear it with you."
"Yeah, how can I leave it at home? I will always be thinking about it. I will carry it with me."
Tong Yan nodded.
"Haha, how about it, Uncle Seventh is a nice guy, isn't he?"
Xiao Chen asked with a smile.
"Well, it feels like a friend, not an elder."
Tong Yan nodded.
"Yes, I always considered him a friend."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"So, if you get into trouble, you let Uncle Seven take the blame?"
The childlike face pursed its lips.
"Well, not every time, sometimes."
Xiao Chen was a little embarrassed.
"Besides, he was a kid then."
"Uh-huh."
The two chatted and returned to the villa.
"Good son-in-law, you are back."
When they came back, Tong's mother also came back, stood up from the sofa and asked with a smile.
However, if you look closely, you will find that she is a little nervous, as if she is worried about something.
"Well, mother-in-law, are you out meeting those old ladies?"
Xiao Chen nodded and asked.
"Yes, haha, I gave them all the gifts."
The child's mother smiled.
"Come, sit down and rest. I'll pour you some water."
"No, I drank a lot tonight and can't drink water anymore."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Oh? Then I'll go make some hangover soup, or I'll feel uncomfortable tomorrow."
Tong's mother said with concern.
"No, I'm not drunk."
Xiao Chen sat on the sofa.
"Mother-in-law, please stop busying yourself and sit down to rest."
"Uh-huh."
Tong's mother glanced at her daughter and saw that she seemed very happy. She felt relieved and thought that nothing should be wrong.
After chatting for a while, Xiao Chen went upstairs to take a shower.
As soon as Xiao Chen left, Tong's mother immediately grabbed her daughter.
"Xiao Yan, how was your night? Did Achen's Seventh Uncle give you any trouble?"
Tong's mother looked at her daughter and asked.
"Make things difficult for me? Why are you making things difficult for me?"
Tong Yan was stunned and asked.
"That's not it... Alas, our family has no status. A big family like theirs doesn't care about being well-matched or something like that? So, do they look down on you?"
Tong's mother sighed and asked worriedly.
"Mom, Uncle Seven is a very nice person. He never made things difficult for me, nor did he look down on me."
Tong Yan shook her head and said.
"real?"
Tong's mother was a little surprised.
"So he didn't ask about identity or anything like that?"
"No, I guess Brother Chen has told him, right? I'm with Brother Chen, so these things aren't important, right?"
Tong Yan looked at her mother and asked.
"Why not? This is very important... Fortunately, his seventh uncle didn't make things difficult for you this time."
Tong's mother smiled.
"Come on, tell me, what did you talk about when you met?"
"Nothing much, just meeting and having dinner... Oh, Uncle Seven also gave me a gift."
"Gift? A red envelope? How much?"
Tong's mother asked hurriedly.
It's not that she loves money. After all, she is no longer the same as before and is not short of money at all.
Didn’t Xiao Chen return the 100,000 yuan to her today?
But she felt that this could show whether Tong Yan was valued in the eyes of Xiao Chen's seventh uncle.
“I didn’t get any money.”
Tong Yan shook her head.
"Didn't give you money?"
Tong's mother was a little disappointed.
"So what did you give as a gift?"
"this."
Tong Yan carefully took out the warm jade.
"What kind of stone is this? It looks beautiful."
Tong's mother said this and took it.
"Hmm, it seems quite warm. Are you wearing it close to your body?"
"Mom, be careful, don't drop it... This is warm jade, it's very valuable."
Tong Yan reminded.
"Valuable? How much? One hundred thousand?"
Tong's mother's eyes lit up and she asked hurriedly.
"no."
Tong Yan shook her head.
"No? How much is that? Fifty thousand?"
Tong's mother asked again.
"no."
"No? A few thousand dollars?"
Tong's mother was a little disappointed.
"hehe."
Tong Yan smiled and held up three fingers.
"Three thousand?"
Tong's mother was even more disappointed.
"Well, add a 'wan' at the end."
Tong Yan said mischievously.
"Three thousand... ten thousand?"
Tong's mother almost bit her tongue and her eyes widened. Her reaction was even greater than when Tong Yan knew the value of the warm jade.
Her hand holding Nuan Yu also trembled, and Tong Yan was so scared that she quickly took it.
"Mom, be careful."
"You, how much did you say? Thirty million?"
Tong's mother was also frightened and broke into a cold sweat, holding Nuanyu tightly.
"Well, thirty million...Brother Chen said, at least thirty million."
Tong Yan nodded.
"Canthus~"
Tong's mother took a breath and held Nuanyu's hand, trembling a little.
Thirty million!
How much the hell does this cost!
"After all, they are from a big family, so it's different. They spend 30 million at a time..."
"Mom, Uncle Seven is a very nice person."
"Yeah, if someone gives me 30 million, no, 3 million, 300,000 is fine, I will also think he is a good person, the best person in the world."
Tong's mother nodded.
“…”
Tong Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She said "he is a very nice person", but it wasn't because of the 30 million, right?
"Here, keep it well and don't lose it... I think we should buy a safe and put it in it! We can pass it down as a family heirloom in the future."
Tong's mother looked at the warm jade in her hand and handed it to her daughter.
"Brother Chen asked me to wear it. He said it has benefits and can warm the body."
"Oh? Then wear it, but be careful not to lose it."
"Yeah, I will."
"Thirty million! This is the feeling of carrying thirty million with you..."
"Mom, I'll go up and take a look. You sit here first..."
Tong Yan had no choice but to go upstairs.
Tong's mother looked at her daughter's back and felt a little envious. Why didn't she have such a good life?
However, when she looked at the big villa again and thought about her past days, she suddenly felt that she was lucky to have such a good son-in-law.
"We must not let our good son-in-law run away..."
Tong's mother muttered to herself and went to the kitchen to make some sobering soup.
Upstairs, in the room, after Xiao Chen finished taking a shower, he saw Tong Yan had already prepared a bath towel for him.
"hehe."
Xiao Chen chuckled, wiped his body, and walked out of the bathroom.
"Xiao Yan, what are you doing?"
"I'm checking my emails. I haven't been here for a few days. I have to go through them again when I go back to work tomorrow. Otherwise, I won't be able to figure it out."
Tong Yan sat in front of the laptop and said.
"Brother Chen, are you going back to the company tomorrow?"
"Well, I'll go back and take a look too."
Xiao Chen nodded.
