Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

Zhao Wenhao on the other end of the phone was scratching his head, wondering whether it was worth it.

He could afford HK$1200 million, or even more, but he always felt like he was being taken advantage of.

Such a necklace is certainly worth a lot of money, but the value is more attributed to it being a royal product.

If we really go by its actual value, it would not exceed HK$800 million at most.

But when he thought about how he and Yang Yue had been together for so many years, how they had supported each other and how Yang Yue had never asked for anything from him, he felt that he had wronged Yang Yue.

In particular, he was still missing Shen Bingyan who had already passed away.

"The afternoon of December 12th, right?" Zhao Wenhao confirmed the time and place. "I'll go there a day or two in advance. I'll check it out then. Also, have you found the bracelet I asked you to find?"

Hearing Zhao Wenhao's words, Kuang Youzhi on the other end quickly said, "We've found it. It's a pair of icy jade bracelets with floating green flowers. The texture is delicate and warm, and the floating flowers are lively and natural. They are very beautiful. The price is not too expensive, just over 30 Hong Kong dollars. Do you think it's okay?"

Zhao Wenhao thought about it and nodded, "After I get to Hong Kong Island, let's go and take a look together and then make a decision."

"Okay, Mr. Zhao. I'll arrange someone to prepare it right away." Kuang Youzhi agreed.

"Okay, that's it." Zhao Wenhao hung up the phone.

He sat quietly on the sofa, pondered for a moment, and decided to go to Hong Kong Island again.

It has been a long time since the last time he went to Hong Kong Island. Although the financial director Ho Ching-sing is responsible for supervising the work there, Zhao Wenhao still thinks it is more important to go there in person to understand the situation.

In just over twenty days, we will enter a new year - 1995.

By then, Hong Kong Island’s land prices and stock market will usher in new development opportunities.

Zhao Wenhao knew this very well, so he felt it was crucial to have in-depth communication with Kuang Youzhi and clarify future plans.

That night, when Zhao Wenhao returned home, night had already fallen.

The house was filled with the aroma of food, making him feel warm and comfortable.

He walked into the house and saw Yang Yue busy preparing dinner in the kitchen.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Yang Yue immediately stopped what she was doing and leaned out of the kitchen with a bright smile on her face. "I bought two sea bass today. They are very fresh and are being steamed now."

Zhao Wenhao took off his leather shoes with a smile, put on a pair of soft cotton slippers, and then walked straight to the kitchen.

When he approached Yang Yue, he hugged her slender waist tightly from behind without hesitation, rested his head on her slender neck, and kissed her affectionately.

"Giggle..."

Yang Yue was tickled so hard that her entire body went limp. She smiled and dodged, "Go out now! You reek of cooking fumes. I'll call you when the meal is ready."

Zhao Wenhao, however, reluctantly kissed her again, mumbling, "Why steam two fish? One is enough for both of us."

Yang Yue turned around, pushed Zhao Wenhao out of the kitchen, and said angrily, "Your sister isn't used to her mother-in-law's cooking, but she's too embarrassed to say it out loud. That's why I thought of steaming an extra one and sending it to her later."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Zhao Wenhao frowned. "Then I'll find a chance to talk to my brother-in-law and just hire a nanny to cook for me. Why bother cooking myself?"

"Haha, how can it be that easy?" Yang Yue shook her head helplessly. "That also requires her mother-in-law's approval. She means well and has specially left her family behind to come and take care of her daughter-in-law.

If there is a quarrel because of this, what should my brother-in-law do since he is caught in the middle?

It’s okay, I’ll make a little more each time from now on, and when I have free time I’ll have them over for dinner.”

Zhao Wenhao frowned and shook his head vigorously, indicating that he did not agree with Yang Yue's suggestion.

In the middle of last month, Zhao Wenjing was finally found to be pregnant, and had been pregnant for two months.

You know, it has been one year and two months since Gu Qiang and Zhao Wenjing got married, but they have not welcomed the birth of a new life, which has brought great psychological pressure to Zhao Wenjing.

Not only her, but also Gu Qiang's family are full of expectations for this child.

Now that there is finally good news, the Gu family naturally regards this child as a treasure.

The day after learning of her pregnancy, Gu Qiang's mother Huang Min took a long leave from the factory and came to take care of Zhao Wenjing wholeheartedly.

In addition, they were determined not to let Zhao Wenjing continue to work in the store, hoping that she could rest assured and recuperate at home.

Zhao Wenhao expressed his strong agreement with this point.

After all, the pregnancy is only two months old, which is the period that requires the most attention.

If Zhao Wenjing still insisted on going to work in the store, where there were people coming and going, an accident might happen if she was not careful, with unimaginable consequences.

Therefore, he thought it would be safer to let Zhao Wenjing have a good rest at home.

However, the challenge now is that after Huang Min moved in, she took on all the housework. Zhao Wenjing is relieved of this, but after all, their living habits are different, so it is inevitable that there will be some discomfort.

Taking food as an example, Zhao Wenjing prefers light flavors, while Huang Min's cooking tends to be greasy, salty and spicy.

But Zhao Wenjing has a gentle temperament and never makes requests easily, so she can only force herself to adapt to such heavy-tasting food.

It may be tolerable in the short term, but the days ahead are long and it is really hard to accept.

So, Zhao Wenjing couldn't help but confide in Yang Yue.

Yang Yue took this to heart and began to take the initiative to increase Zhao Wenjing's meals. However, Zhao Wenhao thought this was not a long-term solution and frowned slightly.

"Yueyue, let's do this. When the fish is steamed, we'll send it over and eat together. I'll go over now and tell my brother-in-law."

Zhao Wenhao still felt it necessary to mention it to his brother-in-law.

He knew his sister's temper very well. If he didn't say anything about this, his sister would probably have to endure this torture until the child was born.

"I've washed the dishes. Shall we go over now?"

Yang Yue looked at Zhao Wenhao with some confusion, wondering what he was doing there at this time?

However, she also understood that Zhao Wenhao must be going to solve the problem, otherwise he would not be so anxious.

However, she was a little worried: "Wenhao, will this upset her mother-in-law? After all, they are family, we can just talk about it in private."

"Okay, don't worry about this. I'll go first and you come over later." Zhao Wenhao waved his hand and comforted Yang Yue.

He turned and walked to the faucet, washing his face to make himself look more refreshed.

Then he put on a pair of clean leather shoes and walked towards Gu Qiang's house.

The two houses are not far apart, and you can get there in one minute by going around them.

"Wenhao, have you eaten? Come in and sit down!"

When Zhao Wenhao walked into the courtyard, Gu Qiang and Zhao Wenjing were sitting on chairs by the small pond in front of the villa, chatting. When they saw Zhao Wenhao coming in, they hurriedly greeted him.
