With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

"Seize the young master?"

Yan Wentao almost cracked his voice in his excitement.

Lin Shuang repeated, "5000 grams, ten jin!"

As she spoke, she gestured: "It's just a small box, about that size, inside is a longevity lock made of ten pounds of gold."

Yan Wentao was stunned.

Even though he had amassed a considerable fortune over the years thanks to his brother, he was still shocked to hear this.

Ten catties of gold are given away for a full moon celebration? How much money does Shen Ci have?

"Where's the stuff?"

“It’s with Mom. That little girl said she opened some kind of safe for Xixi, to lock up this longevity item for her.”

The price of gold changes every day, and it might be worth even more in ten or twenty years.

It's definitely the best investment product for preserving value.

Yan Wentao concealed his expression and saw his mother and Wang Zhaoning, who was holding a child, enter through the main entrance of the banquet hall.

"Mom, give this to Duanduan to take down and keep it safe."

The old lady was carrying that small box the whole time, and when Wang Zhaoning saw this, she spoke up.

Duanduan, who was standing nearby, took the opportunity to reach out and take it. The old lady hesitated for a long time before handing it over, and then watched with longing as Duanduan took the longevity lock away.

Seeing this, Wang Zhaoning couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't worry, Mom, it won't get lost."

"We can't lose it. It's such an expensive item. Aci said she wanted it to be part of Xixi's dowry," the old lady murmured.

Wang Zhaoning smiled and nodded. As soon as she looked up, she saw Shen Ci coming to greet her. She quickly picked up the child and went forward, saying, "Aci."

Shen Ci's eyes fell on Xi Xi in her swaddling clothes, and she reached out and picked up the child: "Little Xi Xi."

"I heard from the old lady, why did you get her such an expensive thing?" Wang Zhaoning complained, but her eyes were full of gratitude.

Shen Ci teased Xi Xi, saying, "It's not expensive. Our Xi Xi is a little princess and needs to be raised in luxury."

As she spoke, she looked up at Wang Zhaoning and instructed, "From now on, everything I buy for Xixi will be the most expensive and the best. My brother isn't here, so I'll spoil him for him."

Wang Zhaoning smiled helplessly, as if she had already imagined how pampered Xixi must be under Shen Ci's doting care.

However, when Yan Wenxi was mentioned, Wang Zhaoning said in a low voice, "Your brother's prison admission notice has arrived. I've applied for visitation rights. Why don't you come with me then?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Ci raised her head, thought for a moment, and said, "Visiting time is limited. Let's reserve the first visit for you and Xi Xi. There's plenty of time in the future, no rush."

Everything has been relatively stable lately, and there's nothing particularly important I need to tell my brother.

Wang Zhaoning understood Shen Ci's thoughts and nodded gently.

On the other side, the old lady was about to come closer when Yan Wentao pulled her away.

"What?"

Yan's mother shook off her hand in displeasure and looked at her son, saying, "Today is Xixi's full moon celebration. All the guests are important people who came because of your brother. You and your wife should be more hospitable to them."

Yan Wentao was no longer listening to any of this. He looked at the old lady and asked, "Mom, did my brother's sister give Xixi five kilograms of gold?"

"Why are you asking this?" The old lady glared at her daughter-in-law. Lin Shuang lowered her head guiltily. Then she turned to her son and warned, "Are you short of money? Stop thinking about it. That's money for Xixi."

"No, am I that kind of person? Didn't I give my niece a 'ten yuan' gift myself?"

"You... how dare you say that?" The old lady grinned disdainfully. "How much have you swindled from your brother over the years, like a leech? You only gave ten yuan for Xixi's one-month celebration, while Boss Yang gave thirty yuan! You're not even as good as an outsider. I can't be bothered to talk to you."

The old lady was about to leave when Yan Wentao grabbed her arm.

"What are you going to do now?" the old lady asked anxiously, and punched his shoulder.

Yan Wentao let his mother hit him, and hurriedly said, "Didn't you say you didn't find anything my brother left behind at my sister-in-law's place? I thought about it, Mom, my sister-in-law probably didn't keep such an important thing with her."

Mother Yan paused, hesitated for a moment, then punched again: "Still thinking about it? Still thinking about it? I already said I don't have any! Stop worrying about useless things!"

"Hey, stop hitting her!" Yan Wentao grabbed his mother's hand urgently and said seriously, "This time it's definitely true, my sister-in-law must have hidden the things."

"Hide?" Mother Yan asked doubtfully, "Where could she possibly hide?"

"The bank!" Yan Wentao said with an air of certainty, "Let me tell you, Mom, banks offer safekeeping services for important items. Many big bosses have them. Just now, my brother's sister said she wanted to deposit the longevity lock she gave to Xixi in the bank, and that immediately made me realize that my brother's important things must have been deposited in the bank by my sister-in-law!"

Upon hearing this, the old lady pushed him away, saying, "Forget it, I can't even find it at home. If you've taken it to the bank, I'll have even less chance of getting it out."

"Mom, I didn't ask you to take it!" Yan Wentao stopped the old lady and said urgently, "Those are your son's things. Didn't I tell you? It's perfectly reasonable for you to ask my sister-in-law directly."

The old lady was stunned, and her thoughts slowly began to race.

In the end, he shook his head: "No, today is Xixi's one-month celebration, we'll talk about it later."

"Don't wait until later, today is the best time. My eldest uncle, third uncle, and second uncle are all here today. They're all family, and they'll definitely be on your side. Would my sister-in-law dare to refuse?"

Yan Wentao nodded self-assuredly as he spoke, but in reality, he had already planned this in advance. He had informed his family members of all this, and today he was going to unite them and force Wang Zhaoning to hand over the "shares" and "private property" that her elder brother had left behind before he went to jail.

"Today is Xixi's one-month celebration, such a wonderful day, why are you saying these things?" The old lady felt sorry for Wang Zhaoning, after all, she hadn't done anything outrageous yet.

"This is important, Mom. Anyway, after the banquet, our family needs to sit down and have a good talk."

Before the old lady could say anything more, Yan Wentao pulled Lin Shuang away.

The old lady sighed, still unsure of what to do, and seemed somewhat absent-minded.

But the atmosphere was great today, and everyone was very happy because it was the banquet hall of Shuiyunjian. Both owners were present, and Shuiyunjian provided exceptional service.

Wang Zhaoning couldn't drink alcohol because she had just finished her postpartum confinement period, so Shen Ci accompanied her and toasted the elders on her behalf.

When the tea was served to the table of close relatives, Wang Zhaoning held a cup of tea and Shen Ci held a cup of wine. Before they could speak, Yan Wentao stepped forward and said, "Sister-in-law, the elders said it's rare for everyone to gather like this today. They suggested that we stay and chat after the meal."

His words were like a secret signal, and the elders he had informed in advance nodded in agreement.

Wang Zhaoning glanced at him, and then heard Shen Ci's low voice beside her ear: "It's nothing but trash."
