“That’s right, but you won’t be bragging because it’s the truth.” Su Yu raised his chin smugly.
Zhixin was so excited that he didn’t know what to say.
He felt like he was floating in the sky. If his sister could really marry Su Yu…
In that case, he could even swagger in school from now on, right?
“Hahaha….”
He thought about the last time, a senior in his third year of university had a cousin who dated Young Master Tang… Although they had only dated for less than a month, she had earned herself a Maserati sports car.
He flaunted this for a whole year. Then, many people secretly said behind his back that this guy’s cousin was not dating Young Master Tang.
She was just an insignificant model who was played by others.
Who did she think she was?
His sister’s situation was different… The Su family had come to propose marriage.
If this matter was exposed, how many people would die of envy?
The more Zhixin thought about it, the more excited he became…
Huo Mian and Su Yu returned to the dining table.
The corn noodles were all gone.
“Grandpa, you sure are not wasteful… you ate quite a few bowls yourself…”
Su Yu looked at his grandpa and complained.
“What? We’re family now. What’s wrong with me eating noodles?”
Then, Grandpa Su looked at Yang Meirong and Huo Mian.
“I say, in-law… Why don’t you bring the kids to our house tomorrow and we can talk about the wedding? What do you think?”
“I’m fine with it. I’ll have to trouble the in-laws about this.”
Yang Meirong actually addressed them as in-laws…
Huo Mian’s mind went blank as she tugged on her mother’s sleeve.
“Um… Mom… don’t call them in-laws, it’s too early,” Huo Mian said subtly.
“It’s not too early. The wedding date is set for the ninth of next month. The in-laws said that you’re getting engaged this weekend.”
“Huh?” Huo Mian was shocked again.
Just then, Mrs. Su stood up and walked up to Huo Mian.
She took out a white silk handkerchief with her right hand. Huo Mian didn’t know much about silk, but when she held it in her hand, it felt very smooth.
Mrs. Su passed the handkerchief to Huo Mian.
“Child, take this. It was passed down to me by Yu’s grandmother. I heard it’s been passed down in the Su Family for over a hundred years. I don’t know if it’s worth it, but it’s a family memorial.”
Huo Mian held the handkerchief in her hand and slowly opened it against the wind…
Inside lay a white jade bracelet. The color and texture were simply like a rare treasure.
If this item were to be auctioned, it would cost at least a hundred million yuan!
Huo Mian was so scared that she didn’t dare to take it…
She hurriedly returned it. “Auntie, this is too expensive. I can’t accept it.”
“You have to accept it. As Yu’s wife, you have the right to do so.”
Mrs. Su spoke gently, but she said it so smartly that Huo Mian couldn’t refuse.
Before Huo Mian could say anything else, Su Yu pointed at the jade bracelet. “When my grandmother was still alive, she asked a professional professor to appraise it… This is a tribute from the Ming dynasty, and it was passed down to my ancestors. My ancestor was a high-ranking official in the Qing dynasty, and I heard that there aren’t more than three of these bracelets on the market right now. One is in the National Museum, and the other is in the hands of the wife of a famous rich businessman in Hong Kong. The other one is in my house, so this bracelet is worth at least a hundred million yuan. Huo Mian, be careful… If you keep pushing and end up breaking it, it’ll be your fault.”
Huo Mian, “I…”
Huo Mian really felt she was in a difficult spot. This family forced her to get married, and they even resorted to such cruel methods. It really broadened her horizons.
When Huo Mian wasn’t paying attention, Mrs. Su picked up the jade bracelet and skillfully put it on Huo Mian’s wrist.
“Look at how beautiful it is…”
Huo Mian: “…”
