She felt that money was the most reliable thing, as it could be used to buy things in shopping malls or in real life.
If you take a piece of jewelry, it might look nice but isn't practical, and you might even risk it being stolen.
Old Master Xiao finally agreed to Wan Qiqi's request and gave her an additional two hundred taels of silver.
