"Of course it's fun! It's so much fun! Sister, I also prepared gifts for you and Mom!" Huo Jinning exclaimed excitedly, waving her arms and legs.
"There's even a gift?" Huo Jinxin asked with a look of surprise, clearly full of anticipation for this mysterious gift.
"Ta-da! Come and see!"
Huo Jinning excitedly pulled a piece of vibrant green jadeite rough from his backpack and displayed it in front of Huo Jinxin.
"This...this...it's absolutely gorgeous!" Huo Jinxin exclaimed, her eyes wide with astonishment.
At this moment, Zhao Qiuying also came over and asked curiously, "What are you two whispering about standing at the door? Hey, where did this stone come from? It's so beautiful!"
Huo Jinning replied triumphantly, "How about that, Mom? Aren't you amazed? Let me tell you, this is a treasure I won at auction, isn't it amazing!"
At this moment, Huo Nanchu, who had just parked his car and walked into the yard, saw this scene and couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Mom, Ningning, Xinxin, let's go inside and talk," Huo Nanchu said softly.
"Okay, come on in, I want to tell you all about the fun things that happened today. Come on, come on!" Huo Jinning eagerly grabbed Huo Jinxin's hand and started telling her story with great enthusiasm as they walked into the house.
Upon entering the living room, Huo Jinning couldn't contain her excitement and said to her sister and mother, "Sister, Mom, do you know what? I really struck it rich today! My older brother said this jadeite rough was worth at least 500 million, but I only spent a measly 5 million to buy it! Isn't that amazing?"
"Wow, little sister, you're amazing!" Huo Jinxin gave a thumbs up sincerely to express her admiration.
"And guess what? I made an extra amount of money besides that! Hahaha, a full 45 million! Let me laugh for a bit..." She laughed heartily, as if she wanted to share her joy with everyone.
After the laughter subsided, she continued, "Back then, everyone said that what I was holding was just a broken rock, and they were certain it would collapse."
"But I refused to believe it and made a bet with them. Hehehe, and what happened? I won big!"
"That feeling was absolutely amazing! You should all see them looking so humiliated; it was absolutely hilarious!"
Then, she enthusiastically shared, "Some people even wanted to buy this jade from me, but I didn't agree. Because I had already decided in my heart that I would leave it for you and Mom to make into jewelry. Isn't that better?"
"Give it to me and my mother?" Huo Jinxin asked in astonishment.
I never expected that the gift Huo Jinning mentioned would be such a precious item.
Although I have seen countless rare treasures since I was a child, it is extremely rare to see jade of such high quality and rarity.
To her even greater surprise, Huo Jinning gave it to her and her mother without hesitation.
"Yes, I believe you will look very beautiful wearing them." Huo Jinning looked at the mother and daughter with gentle eyes, then nodded in satisfaction, indicating her approval.
“Ningning, Mom can’t accept it. Mom already has a lot of jewelry. I’ll leave it for you and Xinxin.” Zhao Qiuying was deeply moved by her daughter’s actions, her heart filled with emotion and relief, and her voice was slightly choked with emotion.
Looking at Huo Jinning in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a surge of affection.
This child was stolen at a young age and lived in poverty, yet he still retained that precious, innocent heart.
“Mom, I don’t need it. I don’t usually like wearing these kinds of jewelry; it’s more of a burden than a gift, and keeping it would be a waste. Besides, I bought this with my own money to show my respect to you and my sister, as it represents my deep love for you,” Huo Jinning said sincerely.
On the way back, Huo Jinning had already transferred the money for the raw stones to Huo Nanchu, intending to use her own money to buy gifts for her mother and sister. Huo Nanchu knew that she had money now, so she accepted it, thinking that she would find an opportunity to give it back to her later.
“Wife, since it’s our daughter’s way of showing filial piety, let’s accept it!” Huo Shan said, trying to persuade her.
“Yes, Mom, please don’t refuse! We’ll buy it for my sister when we find something suitable later.” Huo Jinxin echoed her father’s words, expressing her agreement.
"Then it's decided." Huo Jinning said with a smile, and gently handed the raw stone in her hand to Zhao Qiuying.
Zhao Qiuying happily accepted the raw stone, her face beaming with a loving smile: "Then I'll accept it, thank you Ningning."
At this moment, Huo Jinning hesitated for a moment, then said with a touch of shyness, "Um... could I have a small scrap of material? I'd like to make a thumb ring."
[Huo Jinning suddenly remembered that in the original book, Fu Qinian liked to collect thumb rings.]
[Such good raw materials are hard to come by. If I gave her a thumb ring, she would probably like it!]
[Wouldn't this bring us even closer?]
[Hehehe.]
Upon hearing this, the other four exchanged glances and then sighed in unison.
They secretly thought to themselves: Their daughter/sister is about to be kidnapped by someone else.
[That way, if the Huo family ever faces any difficulties in the future, he'll probably be willing to lend a helping hand.]
[I even saved his life last time.]
[I'll slowly work on building up our relationship later.]
The four of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
At this moment, Huo Jinning made up her mind to seize this opportunity and try to treat Fu Qinian better.
She secretly planned that through this carefully prepared gift and sincere attitude, she could further win Fu Qinian's favor and affection.
Huo Shan thought to himself, "I need to find something to do and earn more money so that my daughter won't always worry about something happening to the Huo family."
Huo Nanchu secretly made up his mind: "I must find out who is secretly opposing the Huo family as soon as possible. I can't let Ningning worry about the Huo family's affairs anymore."
Zhao Qiuying looked at her daughter with a face full of relief, thinking that she must treat Ningning even better.
Huo Jinxin, who was standing to the side, also thought about how to treat her younger sister better.
At this moment, Huo Shan said to Huo Jinning, "Okay, tell your older brother the dimensions you need, and also tell him what style you want, so that your older brother can make it for you first."
Huo Jinning nodded obediently and replied, "Okay, I'll tell my brother later."
[Wouldn't it be less surprising to receive a gift if I just asked Fu Qinian directly?]
[But the problem is, I don't know the exact size of his thumb either.]
[What should we do?]
Huo Jinning was caught in a dilemma.
