Chapter 57 Imperial Green Glass
Chapter 57 Imperial Green Glass
Seeing his newly recognized aunt pull out a jade pendant worth tens of millions and place it in front of him, Chen Jiang admitted that he was a little stunned.
Why is Uncle Yan's family so generous... They throw money at people without a second thought. Uncle Yan just gave him a villa, a car, and shares right off the bat, and Aunt Yan isn't bad either, throwing around a glass-type imperial green jadeite pendant worth tens of millions...
"It's too expensive, Auntie, please don't accept it."
Chen Jiang quickly waved his hand: "I wouldn't stand on ceremony if you gave me something cheaper, but this is too expensive, I really can't..."
But Aunt Hui, whose family background was unknown, didn't even blink when Chen Jiang said no.
Before he could even finish refusing, she moved over, grabbed him, and put the pendant on his head.
Chen Jiang was so afraid to move that he could only look to Yan Wenshuo for help.
Yan Wenshuo showed no intention of helping at all. Instead, he looked at the bewildered Chen Jiang and laughed:
"Don't look at me, I wouldn't dare stop your aunt from doing whatever she wants... Your aunt is a true lady from a respectable family, while I'm henpecked."
Jin Hui put the Guanyin pendant on Chen Jiang's wrist, then put it inside his clothes before sitting down, satisfied.
"Get out of here! If I were in charge, I would have broken your legs long ago."
Hearing Yan Wenshuo's words, Jin Hui rolled her eyes at him, then turned to Chen Jiang with a smile and explained, "Don't listen to your uncle's nonsense. My family had some savings before, but Uncle Yan took them all long ago. Now he's making fun of me."
Chen Jiang could tell that the two seemed to be quite affectionate.
As for their jokes, he, as a junior, should just listen and not respond. So he smiled and said:
"Actually, I also think that Aunt Hui is a lady from a good family... When Aunt Hui came out just now, I was wondering why my Uncle Yan married a wife who was so much younger than him."
"Hahaha~~~!!" Upon hearing this, the couple couldn't hold back their laughter and burst out laughing.
After laughing twice, Jin Hui reached out and patted Chen Jiang on the shoulder:
"Don't talk nonsense, kid. Your Uncle Yan is petty and might make things difficult for you... Of course, even if he does, don't worry, Aunt Hui will back you up."
"Then I'll have to come visit Aunt Hui more often to pay my respects!"
Chen Jiang quickly cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to her.
Jin Hui patted him with a smile again, then stood up and said, "Alright, the food should be ready in about ten minutes. I'll go call that little girl down."
Upon hearing this, Yan Wenshuo also remembered it and asked her:
"Did you and Guoguo have another fight?"
Jin Hui said nonchalantly, "We didn't have a falling out, but we did have a fight. I found this little girl a tutor, but she absolutely refused to study, which made the tutor leave in anger, so I gave her a beating."
Yan Wenshuo's face immediately showed some heartache:
"Ouch, be gentle!"
"Don't worry, it's easy for me to deal with her. I'll make her come out for dinner right away."
Jin Hui, however, seemed indifferent and turned to walk upstairs as well.
"well......"
Yan Wenshuo sighed deeply and poured himself another cup of tea.
Upstairs was quite quiet, and sure enough, less than three minutes later, the door opened, and two women, one adult and one child, reappeared.
Jin Hui remained calm, but Yan Guoguo, whom she had just seen, puffed out her cheeks and pouted, looking both resentful and timid, like a duck being herded away, wobbling and stopping as she went downstairs.
Yan Wenshuo felt a little sorry for him:
"Guoguo, come here."
Yan Guoguo immediately turned her head to the side: "I'm not going, you're aiding and abetting evil."
"Um?"
Jin Hui glared at her and snorted, immediately making her behave and obediently sit next to her father.
Chen Jiang watched from the side, secretly amazed.
My Aunt Hui is indeed extraordinary. She's clearly a stepmother, but she seems more capable than many biological mothers.
Jin Hui, however, was already used to it. She turned her head to glance at the time and then said:
"It should be about time, let's go to the restaurant."
"It's a family gathering, so let's not worry about all the rules. Let's eat and chat."
"Chen Jiang, did you hear me?"
"Huh? Oh, oh!" Chen Jiang nodded quickly when he heard himself being called. "Don't worry, Aunt Hui."
She stood up and walked towards the restaurant with Jin Hui. Her elderly father and aggrieved daughter whispered a few words to each other and followed behind.
......
Although it was a family gathering, since it was to welcome Chen Jiang, the feast was naturally quite lavish.
There were more than a dozen dishes prepared, many of which Chen Jiang had never seen before. Many of the ingredients looked very precious and tasted very good. However, there was indeed a lot of food. Chen Jiang ate only a little and was almost full.
However, this family didn't really have any rules about not talking while eating.
Throughout the meal, Jin Hui pulled Chen Jiang aside and talked about his past experiences, family, work, and marriage, with Yan Wenshuo occasionally chiming in.
Chen Jiang, who hadn't been drinking and hadn't met anyone he could confide in for a long time, felt much more relaxed.
Since his divorce, his life has undergone tremendous changes in a very short period of time. Even though he hasn't said it, he inevitably feels more pressure.
I'm afraid I won't be able to hold onto this wealth, afraid it will all come to nothing, and afraid my good fortune will suddenly disappear one day.
But so many days have passed, and the excitement and fear have subsided.
Chen Jiang has already accepted everything as it is now... Of course, he is still a bit lazy. He doesn't exercise much, nor does he study much, but he has found two women.
But he was just an ordinary person before. He worked hard because he had no other choice. After he became rich and could slack off, it wasn't so easy for him to start training and learning... He didn't have a system and needed to complete tasks to get rewards.
Regarding Chen Jiang's current situation, Yan Wenshuo felt that after resting, he should still continue his studies.
"We must continue to learn. We should never stop learning. Learning is not only for application, but also for enriching ourselves and cultivating our character."
"Uncle Yan is right."
Chen Jiang, of course, would not disagree and immediately expressed his agreement.
However, after Yan Wenshuo finished speaking, Jin Hui remembered something, glanced at Chen Jiang, and said:
"By the way, Lao Yan, I think Xiao Jiang is getting on in years. Shouldn't he find someone?"
"I think Wenjun and Xiao Jiang are a good match. Do you think we should arrange for them to meet?"
"Meet her? Wenjun? That would be fine!"
Yan Wenshuo immediately began to ponder, and after two seconds, he looked at Chen Jiang and asked:
"Xiao Jiang, do you have any ideas?"
"No, no, no, I'm already traumatized by blind dates..." Chen Jiang quickly shook his head and refused, "Besides, Uncle Yan, Aunt Hui, I already have a girlfriend."
"We just started dating today, so you don't need to worry about me..."
