Su Xiaoyan opened the small copper box in her hand, and a golden ring was exposed in front of everyone. Su Xiaoyan took out the ring and put it in front of Xia Mi.
In fact, it is not a sparkling gold ring. Under the light, it looks a bit dim and old. It is not that this ring is not gold. It looks like old gold with quite high purity. It is just that it is not made of gold. Over the years, the oxidation situation has become somewhat serious.
"Ring?" Xia Mi gently covered his mouth, not because of how valuable this thing was, but because of its meaning.
If this is a gift from your boyfriend, it may be regarded as a more expensive gift, but if it is a gift from your boyfriend's mother, the meaning is completely different... What's more, in such a formal occasion as a family banquet, in front of Doing this in front of all her friends undoubtedly announced to everyone that Xia Mi was her daughter-in-law recognized by Su Xiaoyan.
"To be honest, I got this thing from someone else." At this point, Su Xiaoyan glanced at Chu Tianjiao, and she used a more frank statement, "This guy gave it to me when he proposed to me. Mine, what he told me at the beginning was that this thing was left to him by his mother, but I don’t know whether it’s true or not.”
"It's true, it's absolutely true. I swear it's true!" Chu Tianjiao made a swearing gesture and quickly testified to himself, "It was really given to me by my mother a long time ago, and it's not anything particularly expensive or valuable. Why should I lie to you?"
"Who knows, after all the years I have been with you, I have never seen your mother once. I have only heard it from your mouth. What you say is different every time." Su Xiaoyan rolled her eyes, She ignored Chu Tianjiao and looked at Xia Mi, "But I think this guy may not have lied to me about this, so I don't know where to put the things he gave me over the years, except I’ve been keeping this thing on purpose.”
"Then you just said you've been looking for a long time." Chu Tianjiao muttered a few words in a low voice, but Su Xiaoyan heard it clearly.
"I forgot where I put this thing, so I looked for it for a while. What's wrong? What's the problem?" Su Xiaoyan said angrily to Chu Tianjiao, "It's not like I have a bad memory in the past two days. It’s not like you don’t know about it. Besides, didn’t I find this thing? Didn’t you just want to find trouble with me?”
"I really don't mean that!" Chu Tianjiao made a surrender gesture, "Go on, you guys go on, just let me fart, my son and daughter-in-law are more important!"
"Anyway, what this guy said is that this ring was left to him by his mother for his future wife of the Chu family." Su Xiaoyan turned to Xia Mi and said, "I remember what he told me at that time was from What was passed down from the Republic of China is made of gold, and it only costs a thousand yuan when sold, so it’s not worth much.”
"It was before the Republic of China." Chu Tianjiao corrected in a low voice, "At that time, it was only worth a thousand pieces. But after so many years of inflation, the price of gold has been rising. How could it be worth only a thousand pieces now? How can old gold be worthless? , there are tens of thousands of dollars, but it is still not recommended to sell it. Anyway, you are not short of this money, it is better to pass it on to your future daughter-in-law. "
"Of course, this is just a personal gift I gave you today. When you get married, Chu Zihang will definitely give you a more beautiful and meaningful ring." Su Xiaoyan smiled at Xia Mi and told the old Chu family The ancestral ring was delivered to Xia Mi together with the copper box.
Xia Mi took it from Su Xiaoyan with both hands, her expression was surprised and touched.
"Thank you Aunt Su, and thank you Uncle Chu. This is already very valuable to me, and it is a very meaningful thing. I will definitely treasure it." Xia Mi put the ring and box away very carefully, and said to Su Xiao Yan and Chu Tianjiao thanked them.
"After you collect the things, you will admit that you are our daughter-in-law." Su Xiaoyan and Xia Mi joked, but the expressions on their faces were quite serious.
"Of course, after taking all the things, there's no reason why you wouldn't want to marry into someone's family after receiving their gold." Xia Mi also smiled, which was one of the reasons why she was so popular.
In such a formal and serious occasion, many girls would be shy because of shyness, but Xia Mi would not. When this girl should show off, she would always show the most generous side of her character.
"Xia Mi, this is our first meeting. As Chu Zihang's father, I have prepared something for you." Lu Tianming suddenly spoke and said to Xia Mi.
Lu Tianming stood up, walked to the sideboard, and took out a particularly exquisitely packaged box from a drawer.
Lu Tianming placed the box on the table in front of Xia Mi and motioned for her to open it.
"Can you open it now?" Xia Mi asked.
"Of course." Lu Tianming nodded, "See if you like it."
Xia Mi glanced at Chu Zihang and Chu Zihang nodded. Xia Mi slowly opened the gift box given to her by Lu Tianming. Everyone paid attention to this side. After Xia Mi completely opened it, everyone on the table saw it. What's in the box.
"Holy shit, if you don't like it, junior sister, you can throw it to senior brother." Fingel glared and said, "Senior brother likes it!"
Inside the box is a complete set of accessories, from earrings, to rings, to bracelets, to necklaces, to watches, and even cosmetics such as perfume and lipstick. Each item has "BVLGARI" written in gold letters on it. .
Bulgari is a world-famous luxury brand born in Italy. Even the most ordinary and common things can be sold for four-digit high prices. What's more, what Lu Tianming prepared today is Bulgari's collection. A whole set... converted into money, this box of things is probably several times more expensive than today's table of meals.
"The taste is quite satisfactory." Caesar looked at the things on the table and said silently.
"Your senior brother's new father is really rich. It's so generous to give away such expensive things on demand." Old Tang approached Lu Mingfei and whispered, "Did his wife just take out a ring from her ex-husband? Is he demonstrating?"
"What else? This is someone's home court. As the saying goes, a man can lose anything but can't lose face." Fingel also interjected, looking very understanding, "If it were me, I wouldn't be outdone. , I want to earn enough face in front of my wife, son, future daughter-in-law and outsiders even if I sell everything."
"These things are expensive, but it's not like people are throwing the pot away." Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes, "Uncle Lu's business is quite successful, and people give gifts with the same heart, and you two There’s nothing good to say about a guy who is obsessed with money.”
"Isn't this... a bit too expensive?" Xia Mi looked at the things Lu Tianming gave him with surprise on his face, "No, no, these things are too expensive. Thank you Uncle Lu for your kindness, but I really can't have them."
"It's nothing. Since you and Chu Zihang both have the idea of getting married, and your Aunt Su also likes you, of course I don't have any objections." Lu Tianming said to Xia Mi, "After you get married, this will also be your home and your family." There’s no need to tell the difference so clearly. It’s the first time I’m meeting you, and we’re talking about such an important matter. I always give you something that expresses my feelings, but I started from scratch and don’t have anything valuable passed down from my ancestors.”
Lu Tianming made a rare joke, but this joke sounded quite cold to others, and even seemed a bit competitive.
"Then...Okay." Xia Mi closed the gift box slightly with some anxiety. She did not forget to toast Lu Tianming and thank her, "Thank you, Uncle Lu. I often heard Aunt Su and Chu Zihang mention you before. Nice to see you for once.”
"You're welcome." Lu Tianming also raised his glass to Xia Mi.
"Uncle Chu, can I interview you?" Lu Mingfei handed the wine glass to Chu Tianjiao like a microphone, "How do you feel at this moment?"
"Damn it." Chu Tianjiao said quietly.
"What the hell?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"I knew I had brought a drawer full of watches. Who wouldn't have a few watches and a few necklaces!" Chu Tianjiao looked at Xia Mi's happy smile, and his back molars were almost broken. At this moment, the man's desire to compare He briefly overcame his caution as an agent.
Desserts and sweet soup were served one after another by Aunt Tong and the chefs, and the family dinner gradually came to an end. Today was not so much an engagement as it was the first time for the two "father-in-laws" Chu Tianjiao and Lu Tianming. During the formal meeting with the future daughter-in-law, everyone made an appointment for the next dinner date. At that time, the wedding date of Chu Zihang and Xia Mi and various preparations for the wedding would be formally discussed.
After the meal, the group of people moved around in twos and threes. Fortunately, Chu Zihang's house was quite big, and each area seemed quite empty even with a few people crammed into it.
Lu Mingfei, Eli Yi, Chu Zihang and Xia Mi made an appointment in Chu Zihang's room. Before Chu Zihang was about to close the door, a head squeezed in.
"Hey, hey, are you trying to isolate me? Don't forget about me!" Old Tang squeezed in through the crack in the door.
"Aren't you having a lively chat with your brother down there?" Lu Mingfei complained to Old Tang angrily, "I thought you two were going to build a nest next to the kid and settle here in the future.
The brother here refers to Fingel, and the kid is a Samoyed dog raised by Chu Zihang's family. Its nest is in the yard of the villa.

"No way, I was asking about a girl with my brother." Old Tang said, "It's the one with short hair and few words. Is that your classmate? I've never seen her before. She's quite pretty. Beautiful."
"You mean Susie?" Lu Mingfei's expression was a little strange. He asked Old Tang, "Don't say you have a crush on her."
"What's that!" Old Tang straightened his chest and said, "I've already checked with my brother. That girl doesn't have a boyfriend. It just so happens that I don't have a girlfriend either? What's wrong with that? Even though I didn't know her before. , won’t we get to know each other a few times in the future? It is said that those who are close to the water first get the moon, so of course I should leave such a good girl to my brother.”
"To tell you the truth, that girl is actually my type." Old Tang leaned into Lu Mingfei's ear and whispered, "My brother likes hot girls with hot bodies and a goblet on their butt, but mine I don’t have a traditional aesthetic, I just like to look quiet and gentle, and be the type who can be a good wife and mother in the future.”
"Old Tang, listen to my brother, you and this girl are not suitable." Lu Mingfei patted Old Tang on the shoulder and said sincerely, "She will not agree to you."
"What? She has a boyfriend, and my brother lied to me?" Old Tang's eyes widened, "She won't get married, right? You guys get married young."
"That's not true. Su Qian doesn't have a boyfriend or is married. Brother useless brother didn't lie to you about this." Lu Mingfei shook his head.
Just as Old Tang was about to feel relieved, Lu Mingfei's next words made him feel proud on the spot.
"That girl, she has someone she likes, and she's still completely devoted. We can't persuade her, let alone you." Lu Mingfei told Old Tang frankly.
"Damn? Who is it? You still like him wholeheartedly? Don't fool me, Mingming?" Old Tang quit, "I said you shouldn't side with your brothers? How can you make others' ambitions destroy your own dignity? Who is that kid? Call him out and let me see how I, Old Tang, am inferior to him!"
"No need to shout, you can go and compete by yourself." Lu Mingfei raised his chin in Chu Zihang's direction.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Old Tang was a little confused, "Are you an acquaintance?"
"Are you stupid, Old Tang?" Lu Mingfei raised his forehead, "You still can't tell, does Su Qian like my senior brother?"
In a word, Old Tang was stunned on the spot as if he was in mourning.
"But...but..." Old Tang opened his mouth, and he stuttered, "Isn't your senior brother...and Xia Mi a couple?"
Old Tang didn't have a close relationship with other people at Kassel College. He really didn't know that Susie liked Chu Zihang. He didn't have that rich emotional experience, and he wasn't that sensitive to other people's feelings.
I saw Susie today and thought this girl was quite pleasing to my eye. I looked at her a few more times while eating, and the more I looked at her, the more beautiful she became. Then I asked Fingel if this girl had a boyfriend, and Fingel said no. Old Tang had evil intentions, so he stayed down there and refused to come up. In fact, he just wanted to find an opportunity to chat with Susie more.
"Yes, that's why I said we can't persuade her." Lu Mingfei sighed, "If you can hook Susie away so that she doesn't hang herself on senior brother, I have to thank you. Susie is indeed a good girl. , but I advise you to give up on this idea, you can’t control it.”
"Damn it, good girls are scarce enough in this world. Some people haven't found one yet, and some people have two!" Old Tang looked at Chu Zihang bitterly, "The way of heaven is unfair, and the way of the world is unfair. It’s unfair!”
But Chu Zihang was indeed handsomer and more charming than him. Whatever Old Tang could do, he could only be jealous.
"Okay, okay." Lu Mingfei pushed Old Tang to sit down, "It's time to talk about business."
The room fell silent, and everyone's expressions became serious. Even Old Tang, who always had a playful smile, had a rare serious expression on his face.
"The Odin you met in this city is Uncle Chu, right?" Xia Mi suddenly looked at Lu Mingfei and asked.
