In the era of fetal wear, she became the first socialite in Hong Kong

The lotus leaves are in full bloom, the lotus flowers are bright, the lotus roots are dotted with beads, and the red lotus flowers are fragrant.

The courtyard is centered around a lotus pond. Walking along this pond, you're greeted by a refreshing aroma, a subtle fragrance, willow waves cascading over the twin bridges, and a lotus breeze blowing in from all directions. It's as if you're in the Jiangnan region at the height of summer, rather than the bustling urban fabric of Hong Kong.

"Sister Fu."

"Good evening, young master." The assistant's greetings were heard behind Fu Ziyan.

She turned her head and smiled as she followed the sound, "Brother Yushang is here too. I didn't hear Uncle Chen mention him just now."

"I just arrived. I heard from my father that you were strolling around the garden, so I came to take a look." Chen Yushang spoke calmly, but in a thousand-square-foot mansion in Yau Ma Tei where he was half an hour ago, a beautiful girl was secretly shedding tears in front of a table full of delicious food and cakes.

"I have to thank Brother Yu Shang for the tabloid scandal last time. It's just that the timing has been unfortunate. It's been half a year since I got the chance to say thank you." She was talking about the day she broke up with Lu Yan. An ignorant tabloid secretly took a photo of her drunk and haggard. The boss behind the newspaper was arrested by Chen Yu Shang with her help.

Chen Yushang chuckled, "You're too polite, Ziyan. Our fathers were close friends, and you call me brother. It's just a small favor, so why bother with it?"

Fu Ziyan smiled. It was one thing for their parents to have such close friendship, but it was another to maintain the relationship of their generation. Some favors had to be accepted, and a thank you was both a courtesy and an attitude.

"Sister Fu, do you want to shop around some more? Or maybe we can go to the warehouse and pick out a piece of jade that suits your taste. Father has acquired some good material recently."

Although she wanted to mention the jade mine, Uncle Chen had mentioned giving her jade, so Fu Ziyan naturally wouldn't refuse, giving Uncle Chen a chance to show his respect. She said in a light and cheerful voice, "Okay, Brother Yu Shang, I'm curious about what kind of material it is that you and Uncle Chen are both so impressed."

The jade that is praised by both Chen Kunnian and Chen Yushang is indeed good. A gem of this size, with just a little carving, will be enough to become a darling of auctions decades later.

Jade has a delicate texture and bright and rich colors; ruby ​​is rich and deep, with extremely high transparency and no flaws can be seen with the naked eye; "Royal Blue" sapphire is deep and bright in color, with extremely high transparency and saturation.

Big and top quality.

Under the soft warm yellow light of the warehouse, each jade gem exudes a charming luster, as if calling Fu Ziyan, "Choose me, choose me!"

Even though she was used to seeing top-notch jewels and her jewelry boxes were filled with exquisite pieces, Fu Ziyan couldn't help but sigh at the original beauty when she saw so many top-notch large stones.

emm...her jewelry box is full of carved beauties, which are somewhat different from the original ones.

Seeing Fu Ziyan scanning them one by one, Chen Yushang asked, "Is there anyone Sister Fu likes?"

Fu Ziyan directly ruled out jadeite and sapphire. The reason was simple: she had jadeite mines and sapphire mines. No matter how rare the top-quality materials were, there would always be some in a mine.

"Then I'll take this pear-shaped ruby. It's very beautiful. Thank you, Yu Shang brother~"

"It's indeed beautiful. Sister Ziyan has outstanding taste." Chen Yushang smiled and said jokingly, "But you don't have to thank me. This is a gift from your father. I gave my gift a long time ago. No matter how much you thank me, I won't make up for it."

Fu Ziyan's mind flashed through the list that Ah Hong had shown her after tallying up the gifts. She feigned a disappointed smile and sighed, "Oh, what a pity! The string of eighteen jade beads that Brother Yu Shang gave me is so beautiful. I was hoping to get a ring or a pendant made of the same material."

"You already have a jade mine, why are you still thinking about my little things?" Chen Yushang said in a joking tone.

Fu Ziyan blinked, thinking that the Chen family was indeed a local tyrant. They knew everything about such a small matter as the change of the owner of a jade mine when the Chen family was busy with affairs some time ago.

"A little bit is still meat," she said with a smile. "That jade mine is my recent inheritance. I don't go to Burma often, so I'd have to trouble Brother Yushang and Uncle Chen to keep an eye on it for me."

Just as Chen Yushang was about to agree, a calm and mellow voice came from the door of the warehouse, "What are you looking out for?"

When Fu Ziyan looked up, she met the smiling eyes of Uncle Chen and her father.

Fu Ziyan instantly curled her lips and revealed the purest smile, "Dad!"

"Uncle Chen."

Fu Qiyuan's smile deepened. "What gift did Ti Ti choose?"

"It's a beautiful pear-shaped ruby, look, Dad!" Fu Ziyan smiled like a flower, raised her arms slightly, and held the ruby ​​in her hand higher.

Fu Qiyuan's gentle and magnetic voice was filled with a smile, "Very beautiful, thank you Uncle Chen?"

Fu Ziyan then turned her attention back to Chen Kunnian, and a moment of embarrassment flashed through her mind. She was just a "daddy's girl". When she saw her father, she subconsciously shared the joy of receiving the gift. She really didn't mean to ignore Uncle Chen.

Fu Ziyan prides herself on being a good baby who listens to her father.

When I heard my father say that, I immediately smiled brightly and said in a sweet voice, "Thank you for the gift, Uncle Chen!"

Chen Kunnian waved his hand and smiled kindly, "As long as Ti Ti likes it, I'm glad. Congratulations on becoming an adult."

Then he looked at Fu Qiyuan and sighed, "Yunzhi, I really envy you for having such a little cotton-padded jacket. No wonder you dote on her so much."

Fu Qiyuan smiled at him, a hint of smile clearly flashing in his eyes.

Chen Kunnian: ...

They have been brothers for many years, how could he not see that this person was showing off?

Chen Kunnian took another look at his son who was not obedient, sweet, or warm, and silently comforted himself. He thought that having a son was not bad, as he could give birth to a group of sweet granddaughters. Yunzhi only had this one daughter, which was not going to work, so how could he bear to have more children with Titi? With Yunzhi's personality, one grandchild would be at most, unless it was twins.

Fu Qiyuan reminded his daughter gently, "Titi, you have something to ask your Uncle Chen. While your uncle is in a good mood, make your request quickly."

Chen Kunnian: I’m in a good mood???

Yunzhi is still the same Yunzhi from back then!

Thinking of this, Chen Kunnian's facial lines softened a bit. At his age, old friends come and go, and there are gains and losses. But being able to reconnect with the shadows of his youth is naturally precious. Yunzhi has become more calm and composed over the years, and his cheerful mood today is probably due to that pot of Shaoxing aged Huadiao.

"Titi, just tell me what you have to say. Uncle will definitely do his best to help you."

Fu Ziyan smiled like a lotus, with dimples on her face. "When I came of age, I inherited a jade mine in Myanmar. I'd like to trouble Uncle Chen to look after it for me when he's free."

Chen Kunnian was not surprised by Fu Ziyan's mention of the jade mine. "Is the person who manages your jade mine reliable?"

"Yes, I can rely on them, but I'm going to school in the UK. If there's a landslide or some other minor problem in Myanmar, I'm worried I won't be able to help."

Chen Kunnian nodded with a bright smile, "Okay, your uncle at the jade mine will help you watch over it. With your uncle here, no one will dare to test or bully you."

"Thank you, uncle."
