Chapter 19

Zhu Suisui was not stupid, of course.

Wu Xiuzhi wanted to avenge her daughter and make her feel bad. If she really spent two hundred yuan on something worthless, although it wouldn’t affect her much in the Lu family, but now her in-laws were here, Jiao Shanyun would definitely be dissatisfied with her.

Sure enough.

She glanced at Jiao Shanyun, and saw the other woman frown slightly.

But unfortunately, if she had been in her previous life, she had gained a special ability, and she wasn’t sure if it was accurate, she would definitely not have wanted Yan Ziqing to check it, after all, what if it was fake? Then her mother-in-law wouldn’t like her, which was not what she wanted at that time.

But now it was different.

She didn’t care about Jiao Shanyun’s opinion.

Now she wanted to slap Wu Xiuzhi’s face even more.

Thinking about this.

Zhu Suisui pretended to be grateful and said, “Fourth Aunt, you’re so kind to me, Xueke even said she would pay the two hundred yuan for me earlier, I still felt embarrassed. Now it seems like it’s all because of your good upbringing.”

This flattery, even though Wu Xiuzhi knew it was just a polite remark, but when it came to educating her daughter, she couldn’t help but show a little pride.

“Xueke is a child I had when I was older, how could I not educate her carefully? She’s a little spoiled, but she’s definitely kind at heart.”

Wu Xiuzhi naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity to elevate her daughter.

Seeing Wu Xiuzhi say this, Zhu Suisui smiled and agreed, but then she changed the subject, “Yes, I was thinking of refusing earlier, but now I think about it, it was Xueke’s kindness. At first, Grandpa said he would pay for it, but Xueke insisted on paying, saying she would pay, how could I refuse?”

Wu Xiuzhi nodded subconsciously, “You’re right…”

Her sleeve was pulled hard by Lu Xueke.

But it was too late.

A hint of cunning flashed in Zhu Suisui’s eyes, she smiled and said, “Then thank you, Fourth Aunt and Xueke.”

As long as she thanked them quickly, the two hundred yuan would be paid by someone else.

Wu Xiuzhi finally realized what Zhu Suisui meant by those words.

This meant that no matter whether it was worth the money or not, the two hundred yuan was paid by their fourth branch, but the item had nothing to do with them. It was completely buying a few nice words.

Wu Xiuzhi’s smile froze.

Two hundred yuan!

Although it wasn’t a lot, it wasn’t a small amount either. Why spend it on Zhu Suisui, when there were so many other things to buy?

She had just slapped her precious daughter!

Wu Xiuzhi forced a smile, her mind was racing, she wanted to refuse, but then she heard Lu Qingying say, “Sister-in-law, I told you before, Fourth Aunt is a good person, don’t worry about two hundred yuan, even if you bought something for five hundred, Fourth Aunt would definitely pay for you.”

Another one who was putting her on a pedestal.

Zhu Suisui wanted to laugh, why hadn’t she noticed Lu Qingying was so cute before?

She looked over.

Lu Qingying winked at her.

It was clearly intentional.

Now it was too late for Wu Xiuzhi to refuse.

She had already accepted this praise, if she refused now, she would be stingy.

Wu Xiuzhi couldn’t lose face.

Wu Xiuzhi smiled even more awkwardly, “That’s what elders do.”

But her heart was bleeding.

Lu Xueke was even angrier, and she was also a little dissatisfied with Wu Xiuzhi.

She knew she shouldn’t have let her mother speak, she was hoping to see Zhu Suisui make a fool of herself, but it turned out well, they had originally agreed that it was a bet, if Zhu Suisui won, she would pay the two hundred yuan, but now they didn’t have to care about the result, anyway, the two hundred yuan was paid by their family.

Their family was a big loser!

Zhu Suisui just didn’t want them to be too comfortable, even though she did want to ask Yan Ziqing for advice, but what did it have to do with them? They wanted to see her make a fool of herself, they could dream on.

Now that the two of them had been put in their place, they didn’t dare to mention Zhu Suisui’s purchase anymore.

They were afraid that they would lose face again.

But Yan Ziqing was genuinely interested.

He looked at Zhu Suisui’s face, his dark eyelashes fluttered slightly, he spoke in a low voice, “What is it?”

Everyone’s eyes looked over.

Zhu Suisui slowly took the seal out of her pocket.

It hadn’t been cleaned yet.

Just looking at it, it was small and inconspicuous.

It was not as exquisite and beautiful as the Buddha statue Yan Ziqing had brought.

However, when he saw the seal, Yan Ziqing didn’t blink, his previous coldness seemed to melt away at this moment, even though his expression was still emotionless, but Zhu Suisui could see his love for cultural relics in his eyes.

They say that serious people are the most charming.

This was absolutely true.

Lu Qingying couldn’t help but lean over to Zhu Suisui’s ear and whisper, “This Yan Ziqing is actually quite handsome, but he’s still not as handsome as my brother.”

Mentioning Lu Lanxu.

Zhu Suisui’s heart trembled slightly, her emotions suddenly fluctuated.

Yes.

If it hadn’t been for Lu Lanxu’s handsome features, how could she have fallen for him at first sight?

In the end, the appearance played a decisive role in love at first sight.

Just as Zhu Suisui was lost in thought.

Yan Ziqing’s cold voice came, “This is a seal from the Qianlong era.”

As soon as these words came out.

They caused a stir.

Mr. Lu exclaimed, “I told you, Suisui’s purchases are never wrong.”

Actually, it didn’t matter to Mr. Lu whose seal it was or how much it was worth.

If this matter hadn’t been forced upon him by his family, and if Zhu Suisui hadn’t wanted to know herself, the old man wouldn’t have wanted to do any appraisal at all.

For him, as long as Zhu Suisui liked it, that was enough.

But Lu Taiping was incredulous, he said subconsciously, “How is that possible? Qianlong had such a small seal? I’ve never heard of it.”

The reason he questioned this was because he had confidently stated that it was worthless.

Lu Xueke had also argued with Zhu Suisui after she had set the value.

But now she had been proven wrong, what credibility would her words have in the future?

After all, she was in the business!

Yan Ziqing glanced at him, his words were straightforward, “There are over a thousand seals from the Qianlong era, it’s normal that you haven’t heard of it. Not everyone can see the value of this seal. If you don’t know much about it, you would indeed be fooled.”

These words made Lu Taiping’s face turn from green to purple.

He was the most concerned with face, in the past, his talent in the Lu family was mediocre, although he was favored because he was young, but he couldn’t compare to his brothers in his career. So, when the economy opened up, he immediately went into business, he was lucky enough to get into the profitable jade business, and he made money, so his status in the family naturally rose.

Now, he was riding high.

But Yan Ziqing came and slapped him hard in the face, in front of everyone, he directly classified him as someone who didn’t know much about the business, as if he had returned to his mediocre state.

How could he accept this?
