"Yu Jinchen, are you ready? Let's go."

On the evening of September 30th, Xu Qingman and Yu Jinchen were preparing to go home. She had been waiting for so long and was very anxious, but it was already seven o'clock and Yu Jinchen was still in the room. So she got anxious.

"Alright, I'm here. I just brought a few changes of clothes." With that, Yu Jinchen came out of the room carrying a suitcase.

Then, in a disapproving tone, he said to her, "Honey, I have a suggestion for you. Could you please not call me Yu Jinchen directly next time? It makes it seem like our relationship isn't very good."

Seeing his mournful expression, Xu Qingman smiled slightly and said, "Alright, I won't do it again next time." Her eyes sparkled with a gentle and charming quality typical of women from Jiangnan.

He gazed at her with doting eyes, his gaze filled with tenderness that shone like stars in the night sky.

Knowing their daughter would be home this morning, the Xu couple had been going outside the yard since they got up. Because of this, Xu Jingheng wasn't planning to go to work.

"Dudu."

"We're back! We must have slowly made our way back." Xu Jingheng took the lead and rushed out.

Xu Meifen took her son's hand and followed them out.

"Dad, Mom, little brother, I'm back!" As soon as Xu Qingman got out of the car, she rushed up and hugged her mother, Xu Meifen.

Xu Jingheng picked up his youngest son, whom his wife had left behind, and reached out to ruffle his daughter's hair. He looked at his daughter's face carefully; thankfully, she was still as beautiful as ever and hadn't lost weight.

After the family had finished their affectionate time, they turned to look at Yu Jinchen, who was standing to the side carrying two large suitcases.

Xu Jingheng looked at him with a smile, finally showing some respect for his future son-in-law. "Xiao Chen, thank you for slowly driving my family home. Come in and sit down. We'll have lunch at your uncle's house today."

"Uncle and Aunt, I won't go in now. I need to take my luggage home first." Yu Jinchen knew that the family must still have a lot to talk about, so he didn't want to disturb them.

"Qinghe, did you miss your sister?" As soon as Xu Qingman entered the door, she reached out and took the little guy from her father's arms, and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

The little one hadn't seen her in a long time, and stared blankly at her for a long time. Suddenly, he burst into tears.

“Son, why are you crying? This is your sister, didn’t you talk about her every day?” Xu Meifen said, trying to hug him and comfort him.

To everyone's surprise, when the little one called for her mother to reach out and hug her, she turned her head and wrapped her arms tightly around her sister's neck, saying, "No, no, sister hug me, I want sister."

It turns out the little one was crying not because she didn't recognize her sister, but because she hadn't seen her for so long and felt wronged.

The family burst into laughter at his behavior. Children's emotions are the most genuine, without a trace of pretense. Crying loudly was simply their way of expressing their longing.

After laughing, Xu Qingman hugged the little guy and tears streamed down her face. She hadn't expected that, despite not spending much time with her younger brother, he would like her so much.

After the siblings had finished crying, Xu Qingman led him to open the suitcases she had brought back one by one. Inside, apart from two sets of clothes, everything was a gift for their parents.

"Little brother, look, these are all things your sister bought for you. Do you like them?" Xu Qingman took out a large pile of toys and two sets of cute children's clothes.

The little guy wasn't interested in the clothes, but his eyes lit up with delight when his sister brought out the toy cars and trains.

He slid off his sister, picked up the toy train, put it on the ground, and made a "choo-choo" train whistle sound, showing how much he liked it.

Seeing that he was having fun, Xu Qingman took out the gifts she had brought for her parents, including clothes and leather shoes for her father, and a beautiful dress and high heels for her mother.

The Xu couple happily accepted their daughter's gift, without saying it was a waste of money. It was a token of their daughter's filial piety, and they were content to accept it. They could simply give her more money before she returned to school.

However, when Xu Qingman put a jade bracelet on Xu Meifen's wrist, the couple became anxious. This bracelet must have cost tens of thousands of yuan, and they didn't think their daughter could afford it.

Xu Meifen didn't want it and was about to take the bracelet off when she said anxiously, "Manman, how are you going to buy this? You can't spend Xiaochen's money just to buy a gift for Mom. You two aren't even married yet."

Xu Jingheng nodded in agreement and said, "We'll give it back to Xiaochen slowly. Dad will buy this for your mom himself."

Although the couple thought Yu Jinchen was a good person and were willing for their daughter to associate with him, they were also okay with accepting small gifts.

But it's not good to accept such a valuable gift all at once; otherwise, the Yu family might look down on their daughter when she gets married.

This is why Xu Qingman didn't reveal that Yu Jinchen had given her a whole set of diamond jewelry. The Xu couple were both very honest people and never wanted to take advantage of others.

"Hahaha... Mom and Dad, what are you thinking? I earned this myself." Seeing their reaction, Xu Qingman had no choice but to tell them about her gambling on stones.

When she heard that her daughter had not only found the jadeite to make a bracelet, but also a piece of jadeite worth a staggering 17 million yuan, and that she had invested that 17 million yuan into Yu Jinchen's real estate company, she was shocked.

The couple were stunned. Although Xu Jingheng had been in business for more than ten years and had done quite well, with more than a million yuan in savings, this amount of money was considered quite wealthy in their city.

But what did they hear now? Their daughter had become rich overnight, possessing over ten million yuan. When did making money become so easy?

Xu Jingheng opened his mouth and asked, "Manman, are you telling the truth? You really made nearly 20 million in one go?"

"Yes, it's seventeen million, and it's all been invested in Brother Jinchen's business. We even signed a formal contract, so don't worry, Dad."

Hearing his daughter say this, Mr. Xu could only nod. It wasn't that he was tempted by his daughter having so much money; he just felt it was too much and hoped that Yu Jinchen wouldn't disappoint her.

If it were up to him, he would advise his daughter to deposit the money in the bank and earn interest; with so much money, the interest alone would be enough for her to live on for a lifetime.

But it's too late to say anything now. His daughter specifically pointed out that the two of them had signed a contract, meaning to reassure him that he understood.

Xu Jingheng showed no sign of worry and continued to watch the mother and daughter discuss the jewelry with a smile.

The jade was quite large, and it was carved into a bracelet, four jade plaques, and a string of beads.

Xu Qingman suggested that the bracelet be given to her mother, while she would wear the beaded bracelet herself. The jade pendant would be divided among her grandparents and Xu Jingheng and his son, so that everyone would have one.

Xu Jingheng was very happy to see that the mother and daughter had made all the arrangements so clearly. He had always known that his parents were not good to his wife, but as their son, he had no other choice but to try his best to mediate between them.
