Chapter 1119 Secret Chat (Two in One, Please Subscribe!!!)

Su Xiaoyan opened the small copper box in her hand, and a golden ring was exposed in front of everyone. Su Xiaoyan took out the ring and placed it in front of Xia Mi.

In fact, it is not a shining golden ring. Under the light, it looks a bit dull and old. It is not that the ring is not made of gold. It looks like old gold with a high purity. It has just been stored for many years and the oxidation is a bit serious.

"Ring?" Xia Mi covered her mouth gently, not because of how valuable this thing was, but because of its significance.

If this was given by a boyfriend, it might be considered a valuable gift, but if it was given by her boyfriend's mother, then the meaning would be completely different... Not to mention that it was done in such a formal occasion as a family dinner, in front of all the friends, which would undoubtedly be tantamount to announcing to everyone that Xia Mi was the daughter-in-law recognized by Su Xiaoyan.

"To be honest, I got this thing from someone else." At this point, Su Xiaoyan glanced at Chu Tianjiao and said more frankly, "This guy gave it to me when he proposed to me. He told me that his mother left it to him. I don't know if it's true or not."

"Really? It's absolutely true! I swear it's true!" Chu Tianjiao made a swearing gesture and quickly proved himself, "It was really given to me by my mother a long time ago. It's not something particularly expensive or valuable. Why would I lie to you?"

"Who knows? I've been with you for so many years, but I've never seen your mother once. I've only heard about her from your mouth, and what you say is different every time." Su Xiaoyan rolled her eyes. She ignored Chu Tianjiao and looked at Xia Mi. "But I think this guy may not have lied to me about this matter. So I don't know where I put the things he gave me over the years, but I have kept this thing on purpose."

"Then you said you had been looking for it for a long time." Chu Tianjiao muttered a few words in a low voice, but Su Xiaoyan heard it clearly.

"I forgot where I put this thing, so I looked for it for a while. What's wrong? What's the problem?" Su Xiaoyan said to Chu Tianjiao unhappily, "My bad memory is not just a matter of one or two days. You know it. Besides, didn't I find it? I didn't lose it, did I? Are you just looking for trouble with me?"

“That’s not what I meant!” Chu Tianjiao made a gesture of surrender. “Go on, go on, just let me fart, my son and daughter-in-law’s affairs are more important!”

"Anyway, this guy said that this ring was left to him by his mother, and asked him to give it to the future daughter-in-law of the Chu family." Su Xiaoyan turned her head and said to Xia Mi, "I remember he told me at the time that it was passed down from the Republic of China or something, and it was made of gold. If you sell it, it would only be worth a thousand yuan, not much."

"It was before the Republic of China." Chu Tianjiao corrected in a low voice, "At that time, it was only worth a few thousand dollars, but inflation has been going on for so many years, and the price of gold has continued to rise. How could it be worth only a few thousand dollars now? No matter how worthless the old gold is, it is worth tens of thousands of dollars. But I still don't recommend selling it. Anyway, you don't lack this little money. It's better to pass it on to your future daughter-in-law."

"Of course, this is just a personal gift from me today. When you get married, Chu Zihang will definitely give you a more beautiful and meaningful ring." Su Xiaoyan smiled at Xia Mi and handed the Chu family's ancestral ring and the copper box to Xia Mi.

Xia Mi took Su Xiaoyan's hands, her expression surprised and touched.

"Thank you Aunt Su and Uncle Chu. These are very precious and meaningful things to me. I will treasure them well." Xia Mi carefully put the ring and box away and thanked Su Xiaoyan and Chu Tianjiao.

"Once you accept the things, you will be acknowledged as our daughter-in-law." Su Xiaoyan and Xia Mi joked, but their expressions were quite serious.

"Of course. I've already taken the things. How can I not want to marry into someone's family after receiving their gold?" Xia Mi also smiled. This is one of the reasons why she is so popular.

In such formal and serious occasions, many girls would be shy and coy, but not Xia Mi. When it is her turn to show off, she always displays the most natural and generous side of her character.

"Xia Mi, this is the first time we meet. As Chu Zihang's father, I have also prepared something for you." Lu Tianming suddenly spoke and said to Xia Mi.

Lu Tianming stood up, walked to the sideboard, and took out a box with particularly exquisite packaging from a drawer.

Lu Tianming placed the box on the table in front of Xia Mi and motioned for her to open it.

"Can we open it now?" Xia Mi asked.

"Of course." Lu Tianming nodded, "See if you like it."

Xia Mi glanced at Chu Zihang and Chu Zihang nodded. Xia Mi slowly opened the gift box that Lu Tianming gave her. Everyone paid attention here. After Xia Mi completely opened the box, everyone at the table saw what was in the box.

"Damn it, Junior Sister, if you don't like it, you can throw it to Senior Brother." Finkel said with his eyes wide open, "Senior Brother likes it!"

The box contains a complete set of accessories, from earrings, to rings, to bracelets, to necklaces, to watches, and even cosmetics such as perfume and lipstick. "BVLGARI" is written in gold-plated letters on each item.

Bulgari is a world-renowned luxury brand born in Italy. Even the most ordinary and affordable items can easily sell for four-digit prices. What's more, what Lu Tianming prepared today is Bulgari's collection, a whole set... This box of things, converted into money, is probably several times more expensive than today's table of food.

"The taste is average." Caesar said silently as he looked at the things on the table.

"Your senior brother's new father is really rich. He gave such an expensive thing as a gift. He is really generous." Old Tang came close to Lu Mingfei and whispered, "Is it because his wife just took out her ex-husband's ring and he is protesting?"

"What else? This is their home ground. As the saying goes, men can lose everything except face." Finkel also interrupted, looking very knowledgeable. "If it were me, I would not be outdone. I would sell everything I have to earn enough face in front of my wife, son, future daughter-in-law and outsiders."

“These things are expensive, but they’re not worth the money.” Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes. “Uncle Lu’s business is quite successful, and his gifts are a token of his heart. There’s nothing to say to you two money-conscious guys.”

"This... is a bit too expensive, isn't it?" Xia Mi looked at the things Lu Tianming gave her, her face full of surprise, "No, no, these things are too expensive. Thank you Uncle Lu for your kindness, but I really can't accept them."

"It's nothing. Since you and Chu Zihang both want to get married, and your Aunt Su likes you, I certainly have no objection." Lu Tianming said to Xia Mi, "After you get married, this will also be your home. There's no need to make such clear distinctions between family members. This is the first time I've met you, and we're talking about such an important matter, so I have to give you something to express my feelings. But I started from scratch, and there's nothing valuable passed down from my ancestors at home."

Lu Tianming made a rare joke, but the joke sounded quite cold to others, and even seemed a bit competitive.

"Well... okay." Xia Mi closed the gift box gently with some trepidation. She did not forget to toast Lu Tianming with a glass of wine to express her gratitude. "Thank you, Uncle Lu. I've often heard Aunt Su and Chu Zihang mention you before. I'm very happy to meet you for the first time." "You're welcome." Lu Tianming also raised his glass to Xia Mi.

"Uncle Chu, can I interview you?" Lu Mingfei handed the wine glass to Chu Tianjiao as if it were a microphone. "What do you feel at this moment?"

"Damn it." Chu Tianjiao said darkly.

"What the hell?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"I should have brought a drawer full of watches. Who doesn't have a few watches and necklaces?" Chu Tianjiao looked at Xia Mi's happy smiling face, his back teeth almost broken. At this moment, the man's competitive spirit briefly overcame his caution as an agent.

Desserts and sweet soups were brought up by Aunt Tong and the chefs one after another, and the family dinner gradually came to an end. Rather than saying that today was an engagement, it would be more accurate to say that it was the first formal meeting between the two "fathers-in-law" Chu Tianjiao and Lu Tianming and their future daughters-in-law. Everyone agreed on the next date for dinner, which would be the time to formally discuss the wedding date of Chu Zihang and Xia Mi as well as all the preparations for the wedding.

After the meal, the group went their separate ways in twos and threes. Fortunately, Chu Zihang’s house was big enough, so each area still seemed quite spacious even after a few people were crammed in.

Lu Mingfei, Huili, Chu Zihang and Xia Mi met in Chu Zihang's room. Before Chu Zihang was about to close the door, a head squeezed in.

"Hehehe, you want to isolate me, eh? Don't forget about me!" Old Tang squeezed in through the crack in the door.

"Aren't you chatting with your brother downstairs quite animatedly?" Lu Mingfei complained to Old Tang unhappily, "I thought you two were going to build a nest next to the little ghost and settle down here in the future.

The brother here refers to Finkel, and Xiaogui is a Samoyed dog raised by Chu Zihang, and its nest lives in the yard of the villa.

"No way, I just asked my brother about a girl." Old Tang said, "She's the one with short hair and very quiet. She's your classmate, right? I haven't seen her before, she's quite pretty."

"You mean Susie?" Lu Mingfei looked a little strange. He asked Old Tang, "Don't tell me you like her."

"So what!" Old Tang straightened his chest and said, "I have asked my brother about it. That girl doesn't have a boyfriend. I don't have a girlfriend either, right? What's wrong with this? Although we didn't know each other before, we will become familiar with each other after seeing each other a few times. It is said that the one who is close to the water will get the moon first. Such a good girl should of course be left to my brother."

"To tell you the truth, that girl is actually my type." Old Tang leaned over to Lu Mingfei's ear and whispered, "My brother likes hot girls with hot bodies who can hold a goblet on their buttocks, but my aesthetic is not traditional. I like the type who looks demure and gentle, and can become a good wife and mother in the future."

"Old Tang, listen to me, you and this girl are not suitable." Lu Mingfei patted Old Tang on the shoulder and said earnestly, "She won't agree to you."

"What? She has a boyfriend. My brother lied to me?" Old Tang's eyes widened. "She's not getting married, is she? You guys are a bunch of early marriage freaks."

"No, Susie doesn't have a boyfriend and she's not married. Senior Brother Wasteful didn't lie to you about this." Lu Mingfei shook his head.

Old Tang was just about to feel relieved when Lu Mingfei's next words made him blush on the spot.

"That girl has someone she likes, and she's devoted to him. We can't persuade her, let alone you." Lu Mingfei confessed to Lao Tang.

"Shit? Who is that? You're so devoted to him? You're definitely kidding me, aren't you?" Old Tang couldn't take it anymore. "I told you that you shouldn't stand on your brother's side. Why are you trying to boost others' morale and hurting your own prestige? Who is that guy? Call him out, and let me see how Old Tang is inferior to him!"

“No need to shout, just go and compete by yourself.” Lu Mingfei nodded his chin in the direction of Chu Zihang.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Old Tang was a little confused. "Your acquaintances?"

"Are you stupid, Old Tang?" Lu Mingfei held his forehead with his hand, "Can't you tell that Susie likes my senior brother?"

In one sentence, Old Tang stood there in a daze, as if he had lost his exam papers.

"But...but..." Old Tang opened his mouth and stammered, "Isn't your senior brother...a couple with Xia Mi?"

Old Tang didn't have much contact with other people in Kassel College, and he really didn't know that Susie liked Chu Zihang. He didn't have much emotional experience, and he wasn't that sensitive to other people's feelings.

Just today, he saw Susie and thought this girl was quite pleasing to the eye. He looked at her a few more times during the meal and the more he looked at her, the prettier she became. Then he asked Finkel if this girl had a boyfriend. After Finkel said no, Old Tang became malicious and stayed downstairs and refused to come up. In fact, he just wanted to find a chance to talk to Susie a few more times.

"Yeah, that's why I said we can't persuade her." Lu Mingfei sighed, "If you can seduce Susie away so that she doesn't hang on my brother, I have to thank you. Susie is indeed a good girl, but I advise you to give up this idea. You can't control it."

"Damn it! Good girls are already scarce in this world. Some people don't have even one, while others have two!" Old Tang looked at Chu Zihang with hatred. "The world is so unfair!"

But Chu Zihang is indeed more handsome and charming than him. What can Old Tang do but feel jealous.

"Alright, alright." Lu Mingfei pushed Old Tang to sit down, "It's time to talk about business."

The room fell silent, and everyone's expressions became serious. Even the usually smiling Old Tang had a rare serious look on his face.

"The Odin you met in this city is Uncle Chu, right?" Xia Mi suddenly looked at Lu Mingfei and asked.
