Godly Farmer - C23
He opened the lid of the box and saw a pair of exquisite carvings of jade ruyi on a red velvet cloth that had a faint glow to it.
“This is an Icy Jade!”
“More than that, it’s almost close to the glass seed. It’s a high grade ice seed, and its color is positive sun green. Tsk tsk, Young Master Xu is really generous.” There were people who were going to get jade and talk about it.
“This jade should at least cost a few hundred thousand, right?”
“Several hundred thousand?” If it was in the jade farm, there would be a bunch of people spitting at you. Judging from the size of the jade, coupled with that seemingly simple but actually perfect carving, it would cost at least two to three million, and that’s a conservative estimate. ”
Xu Shaoning said he was going to explain the misunderstanding and apologize to Chen Yaru. Yet, when he took out the gift, it turned out to be worth several million. How big of a crime had he committed?
“Young Master Xu’s words are too heavy, but this gift is too precious, I can’t accept it.” Chen Zhaomin tactfully refused.
Millions was not a small amount. He could see that it wasn’t just a simple matter of repaying someone with a few million.
Two years ago, Xu Shaoning courted his daughter, but after that, the matter was left unsettled. Even Chen Yaru became crazy for a period of time because of this. She was no longer willing to interact with him, her father.
He had just developed a favorable impression of Zhang Xiaoloong. Through Lee Donghua, he also felt that this was a promising young man, and the most important thing was that this person did not have the impetuous aura of a young master like Wang Changyu, giving people a sense of peace. This was the future son-in-law that he was satisfied with.
If he accepted this gift now, it would mean that he had tacitly accepted that the relationship between Xu Shaoning and his daughter could start again. Of course, this wasn’t the result that Chen Zhaomin wanted.
“No, Uncle Chen must accept it,” Xu Shaoning said solemnly, “It doesn’t matter if it was a misunderstanding in the past, as long as I accept this gift, it will mean that Yaru forgives me for my past mistakes. Besides, maybe our two families will cooperate a lot in the future, so I believe Uncle Chen won’t want us to separate because of such a small matter, right?”
Chen Zhaomin’s expression changed slightly. Although this sounded good, it was a hidden threat. It meant that if he didn’t take it down, there would definitely be a gap between the two families.
“Is it Zhang Xiaoloong, Mr. Zhang?” Xu Shaoning turned his head away again and said with a gentle smile, “I once liked Yaru very much, but I still like her very much. If Yaru is willing to accept this gift, it would mean that our past is written off, so I hope to compete fairly with you.”
“And if we don’t?” Chen Yaru no longer felt any fear, only intense disgust.
“Yaru, if you insist on not accepting it, then that only proves that you can’t forget our past,” Xu Shaoning smiled elegantly. “I think that when I explain the misunderstanding, we will have a chance.”
“You’re lying,” Chen Yaru hurriedly explained to Zhang Xiaoloong. “I’ve never been with him before, so there’s no such thing as a past.”
Xu Shaoning, however, did not care about this. He looked at Zhang Xiaoloong provocatively: “I promise not to use any means. We only use our own hard work to move Yaru. In the end, she will choose who we are with. How about that? Do you have the courage to accept my challenge?”
Lee Donghua also looked at the scene in front of him and naturally understood the meaning behind Xu Shaoning’s gift. However, it was inconvenient for him to interfere in this matter as it seemed to be a dispute between the three youngsters.
However, from his point of view, Zhang Xiaoloong was not the kind of person who acted impulsively and disregarded the consequences. He should have a proper way to deal with it, so he just watched coldly from the sidelines.
All eyes fell on Zhang Xiaoloong, waiting for his decision.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s a competition, I never thought Yaru was a beautiful product. Whoever bids the most will get her, even if it’s a relationship, so when she likes you, you are her everything. If one day she doesn’t like you, the best result is to leave her world.” Zhang Xiaoloong easily avoided the enemy’s sharp edge.
Lee Donghua and Chen Zhaomin both slightly nodded their heads. As expected of the person they had set their eyes on, their words were quite beautiful, indicating that they didn’t want to compete with each other while implying that Yaru doesn’t like you anymore.
Zhang Xiaoloong was secretly glad that he had read the two romance novels in his time of need. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to say such a thing!
“So you’re saying,” Xu Shaoning maintained his calm smile as if everything was within his expectations, “You don’t want Yaru to accept this gift? Does Uncle Chen also think the same way? ”
As Chen Zhaomin was frowning, Zhang Xiaoloong spoke again, “No, I don’t think Yaru is that stingy, so I accepted this gift on her behalf.”
Lee Donghua was also shocked and thought he misheard. However, when he saw Zhang Xiaoloong accept the piece of jade, he sighed in his heart. Zhang Xiaoloong, Zhang Xiaoloong is still too young and was tricked by Xu Shaoning.
If Chen Yaru bit the bullet and refused to accept this gift, then there might be some estrangement between the Chen Family and Xu Family. However, because there were still some differences between the two families, there might not be any consequences.
But now, Zhang Xiaoloong’s “magnanimity” had become Xu Shaoning’s opportunity. As long as there was a chance to get close, this kind of young master could use a hundred different methods to force Chen Yaru to change her choice.
What did he say without using any methods? With the two of them working hard, that was just coaxing words. Only someone as inexperienced as Zhang Xiaoloong would believe it.
“Zhang Xiaoloong, you …” Chen Yaru was also shocked.
Although she liked Zhang Xiaoloong a lot in her heart, in her eyes, Zhang Xiaoloong had always been working as a qualified shield and she did not have any real feelings for him. However, doing this thing now was outside of the range of a shield, so she did not know whether to be happy or distressed.
“It’s just a piece of handicraft. Although it’s not expensive, it’s still a gift from Young Master Xu. Yaru, just take it and treat it as giving Wu Tie an end.” Zhang Xiaoloong advised.
Break? Xu Shaoning gritted his teeth in anger.
However, since this silly kid accepted the gift, Chen Yaru would still be his woman sooner or later.
Chen Yaru didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She thought that Zhang Xiaoloong thought that this item was worthless, so he decided to accept it. In the future, there would be less trouble. It was worth it, but in reality … Not only was this thing valuable, it was also very valuable. What should he do now?
If he said the truth and refused to return the gift, wouldn’t that hurt the face of Xu Shaoning and Zhang Xiaoloong? Forget about Xu Shaoning, what Chen Yaru didn’t want to hurt the most was Zhang Xiaoloong’s pride.
“You actually said that this is a worthless artifact?” When Wang Changyu finally found his loyalty, he said arrogantly with an exaggerated expression, “The value of this thing is enough to scare you to death. It’s at least 3 million yuan and above. Don’t think it’s underworld money.”
“I said it’s a worthless piece of crafts,” Zhang Xiaoloong smiled calmly. “If you don’t believe me, we can make a bet.”
