aying that, he ignored them completely and turned towards Xiao Yu's direction. The formal smile on his face immediately transformed into a warm one as he said: "Dr. Xiao Yu Old Zhuo has invited you fo...Chapter 48: Buying Jade

Thank you to kuei櫃子.wang150 and Xuan Shi brothers for your generous donations, stewed meat in gratitude!

"Little brother, you... Come on, quickly back off! It's so expensive!" Although there were traces of reluctance in her eyes, she still spoke decisively.

"Sis, they don't give refunds anymore. Besides, these are my respects to you; please accept them. And besides, this is just small change!" Xiao Yu said with a playful smile.

"Small change Over eight thousand and it's still considered small change" Xiao Yu angrily retorted.

A moment later, as if she thought of something, she suspiciously looked at Xiao Yu and asked seriously: "Little brother, where did you get so much money from You haven't done anything illegal, have you"

Hearing his sister's question, Xiao Yu recalled yesterday when they almost scared him to death with their phone calls. He had completely forgotten to tell them about earning money.

"Haha, Sis, don't worry! I wouldn't do anything illegal! Didn't you know I work at the antique city Recently, Chasing Treasure was held there. That day when I went out for a walk, I picked up a bargain and sold it for several million! Sis, rest assured that with me around, our family's days will only get better."

Xiao Yu hesitated but didn't dare to tell his sister about the trip he took to Zhongnan Province or about getting injured. He also refrained from mentioning selling over ten million, as their city was small and several millions were already considered a large sum; let alone over ten million, which would be rare in the whole city.

If he told her that he had more than ten million, she wouldn't sleep at night out of worry for him! Although he hated lying extremely much, to avoid worrying his family, he decided to tell a white lie.

"Little brother, are you telling the truth I feel like it's from a TV drama."

Xiao Yu looked at this little brother who had been under her protection since childhood and worked outside after graduation. She found it hard to believe that he quietly earned so much money. There was still some suspicion in Xiao Yu’s heart.

"Hey sis, can I tease you Aren't you going to hit me"

Xiao Yu's words put Xiao Yu at ease completely. Perhaps because of the need to protect her younger brother since childhood, Xiao Yu had always been rather fierce, and as a result, her younger brother never dared to lie to her, even though she had never really scolded him.

"Yay! Little bro, you're awesome! Big sis is going shopping now! I'm gonna go crazy shopping!" Upon realizing that her little brother was truly rich, Xiao Yu exclaimed excitedly.

Upon hearing his sister's words, Xiao Yu's face immediately turned into a bitter expression. He thought to himself, 'Aren't you tired It’s been two hours already,' of course, he only dared to say this in his mind.

Seeing her brother's pitiful expression, the corners of Xiao Yu's mouth curved into a slight mischievous smile and she said, "Little bro, that bitter look on your face— are you afraid that Big Sis is going to spend your money" She deliberately put on an unhappy expression when saying this.

Upon hearing his sister’s words, Xiao Yu quickly concealed the bitterness in his facial expressions, and he wore a smile as bright as a blooming flower. He said with a forced laugh, "How could I It's my honor for Big Sis to spend money!"

An hour later, Xiao Yu finally stopped shopping. Proudly, Xiao Yu was holding five or six bags in his hand. Of course, Xiao Yu didn't buy any high-end branded clothing; most of what she bought were clothes that cost a couple hundred dollars each at best. Originally, Xiao Yu intended to take her sister to the boutique shop, but no matter how much he suggested it, his sister wouldn’t agree. In her own words, 'As long as the clothes are wearable, why buy such expensive ones' In fact, Xiao Yu knew that his sister was trying to save money for him.

Xiao Yu watched with satisfaction as her brother held five or six bags and went up to the fourth floor. Since Xiao Yu had been shopping so much already, he could barely walk anymore. Therefore, when they reached the fourth floor, he stopped in front of a counter and refused to move no matter what, so Xiao Yu ended up picking out two sets for him.

After finishing her purchases, Xiao Yu was dragged by his sister into another boutique shop, where she picked out an entire set of formal wear and urged him to try it on.

Seeing the formal suit in his sister’s hand, Xiao Yu felt overwhelmed. He pitifully pleaded with her, "Sis, don't buy these clothes! You know I never wear such things!"

"No can do, you must buy them today. What are you going to wear for your date Casual wear" Upon seeing his little brother's pitiful look, Xiao Yu didn’t show any sympathy.

"What! Sis, did you say 'date'" cried out Xiao Yu in shock.

Seeing Xiao Yu's surprised expression, Xiao Gu hurriedly covered her mouth. She had forgotten that Xiao Yu didn't know about it yet. Originally, she planned to tell Xiao Yu on the day of the arranged meeting after discussing with their mother, but she ended up blurting it out.

"Sis... what's going on" Xiao Yu asked in a drawn-out tone.

"Um... Um... Ask mom! Mom arranged it!" Xiao Gu said awkwardly.

"Waitress, please wrap this set of clothes," Xiao Gu instructed the waitress.

She swiped her card to pay and took the clothes before leaving without any hesitation. Seeing Xiao Yu's solemn expression, she felt it necessary to hurry back home and inform their mother to find a way out. After all, she had already told someone about the arranged meeting; if he didn't show up, how could he explain it to the woman

Holding her purchases, Xiao Gu briskly walked towards the elevator. Upon seeing Xiao Yu still meandering around, she called out, "Hurry up! It's time to go home!"

"Oh... Sis, you can head back first! Isn't Hanghang turning a year old tomorrow I'll pick him a gift later," replied Xiao Yu.

Xiao Gu thought for a moment and said, "Then hurry up. It's almost lunchtime!"

When children turn one year old in their hometown, the maternal uncles are expected to give gifts. Initially, Xiao Gu had planned to help her brother prepare everything since she knew it wouldn't be easy for him as an only child living away from home and spending a lot of money. However, given that he now had money, she didn’t mention it.

After his sister left, Xiao Yu continued shopping alone on the second floor, heading to the jade section.

Fascicles can be made on yellow paper, special animal skins, or jade; however, with different materials, their effectiveness and power vary. Jade is best, followed by animal skin, with yellow paper being the lowest quality. Naturally, he wanted to make the best for his nephew, so Xiao Yu started selecting jades.

Surveying the dazzling array of jades in the jade section, Xiao Yu began looking carefully. After integrating Zhong Kui's memories, due to Zhong Kui’s long experience making fascicles, Xiao Yu could immediately discern the quality of the jade.

Slowly walking through each counter, Xiao Yu found that although there were many jade items here, their quality was very poor. He even saw a pendant made of glass.

After circling the entire jade section without finding any suitable jade, he realized most of it was hard jade, commonly known as jadeite. The best type for making talismans, however, is soft jade, with white jade being the most prestigious kind.

Turning around, Xiao Yu returned to a small counter dedicated to selling soft jade. Most of its displays consisted of green and light-green jade, with only a few pieces of ordinary white jade. After looking for a long time without finding any white jade, he smiled faintly at the salesperson and said, "Is your manager here If so, please call him over."

"Please wait a moment! I'll ask."

The salesperson looked suspiciously at Xiao Yu. He had seen Xiao Yu walk past without any intention to buy anything earlier, and from the way he was dressed, it seemed unlikely that he could afford jade. The cheapest piece here cost over one thousand yuan, while the most expensive ones were already in the tens of thousands! How much did an ordinary worker earn Only a little more than a thousand yuan per month. Additionally, she rarely saw people who looked as ordinary as Xiao Yu come to buy jade.

Although the salesperson didn't believe that Xiao Yu could afford jade, he still picked up the phone and called the manager. After connecting the call, the salesperson occasionally glanced at Xiao Yu while talking on the phone. Shortly after hanging up, the salesperson approached Xiao Yu and said, "Please wait a moment. Our manager will be here shortly."

Less than ten minutes later, a man with a large belly walked over.

"Mr. Chen, this gentleman is looking for you!" The salesperson bowed slightly to Mr. Chen before pointing at Xiao Yu and saying.

"Hello... Hello... May I ask what brings such a young brother to me" Although Xiao Yu didn't look well-off or seemed too young, he was past the age of judging someone by their appearance! Knowing that it wasn't certain whether Xiao Yu could afford jade, he still treated him very politely.

Moreover, some wealthy individuals dressed and drove in a simple manner. That was what true wealth looked like.

"Mr. Chen, do you have any better quality jade Preferably white jade," said Xiao Yu.g by today’s scene, Wan Sheng Hall must have a huge number of members.Instead of immediately knocking on the door, Xiao Yu started chatting with the elderly people gathered at the entrance.All these s...
