The moment the box was opened, sunlight shone on the contents, nearly blinding Su Tao with the dazzling array of jewels. The box was densely packed with exquisite jewelry, including gold, jade, and gemstones. There were even icy jadeite and emerald jadeite.
Su Tao's hands were shaking a little, and she quickly steadied herself, fearing that she would accidentally fall, otherwise she would want to die.
"These are all from my mother. Some were passed down in the family, and some were collected by my mother later. I will give them to you later." He Chuan said softly, his tone as indifferent as if he was talking about a pile of stones.
"This is too valuable. Will you really let me keep it?" Su Tao was very touched by the man's trust in her, but she didn't dare to accept it because it was too valuable.
"I'm not giving it to you for safekeeping, I'm giving it to you. Just keep some for He Yanzhi as a dowry when she gets married." He Chuan said lightly.
"Then I'll keep them for you for the time being." Su Tao was really scared holding these things, but it was indeed safer for her to hold them.
Su Tao seemingly put the box into her bag, but in fact she had put it into the system space. Otherwise, if she really put it back home, she would be worried that she would not be able to sleep every day, fearing that someone would steal it.
"Didn't you say that all the stuff in the house was taken away? How could you still hide these things?" Su Tao asked curiously.
"Thanks to my uncle for getting the news and informing us ahead of time, my parents had no idea what the outcome would be. They only hurried to move some light and easy-to-carry items, like jewelry, and hid them in advance. They also entrusted some small antiques and paintings to friends for safekeeping. We couldn't move the larger antiques and furniture, so we didn't have any."
"Have you entrusted some of it to a friend for safekeeping? Are you still looking for someone else?" Su Tao was a little surprised. Why didn't this friend show up for so many years and say he would take care of He Chuan and his sister?
A fierce light flashed in He Chuan's eyes. He would find this "friend" soon...
"Don't worry about these. I will recover all the things in our family one by one." He Chuan said in a deep voice.
Su Tao looked at He Chuan and knew there must be something hidden. She just didn't know what it was. Was it a friend who was ungrateful? Or was he greedy and embezzled He Chuan's parents' property? Since He Chuan didn't want her to ask, she didn't ask. If she needed her help later, she would ask.
"It's getting late, let's go home first. We'll bring your parents to visit next time." He Chuan said. It would take another hour to go home, and it would be almost time to prepare dinner when they got home.
"Yeah." Su Tao nodded in response. She felt like today was a dream and she wanted to go back to digest it.
There was no dissatisfaction when I came, but it has disappeared by now.
After He Chuan escorted Su Tao and Yan Zhi back to the Su family's building, he said, "You can go home first. You don't have to wait for me to eat. You can eat first. I need to go to the post office. The betrothal gifts I sent last time should have arrived. I'll pick them up."
After watching Su Tao and the other person go upstairs, He Chuan turned and walked towards the post office.
Su Tao took He Yanzhi by the hand from the corridor and passed by the kitchen window of his house. He saw that Su's mother had already started preparing dinner in the kitchen early.
As soon as Su's mother saw Su Tao coming back, she quickly called Su Tao to the window and said, "You're back. Where's He Chuan? Your aunt is here."
Su Tao frowned when he heard this, "He Chuan has something to do and will be back later, why is she here?"
Mother Su thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I went back to tell your grandmother that you were back, and she knew about it, so she came to see me."
Although her aunt was her mother's biological sister, they had always been at odds with each other. Su's mother had the gentle and generous looks of her mother, and her aunt had the looks of her father, not bad either. But she had a small nose and small eyes. To put it nicely, she looked like a delicate beauty; to put it bluntly, she lacked dignity.
My aunt's personality is just like her appearance. She is very narrow-minded and fussy. She has always liked to compare herself with Su's mother since she was a child.
