Chapter 228: Chapter 228 Uncle’s Meeting Gift

There’s such a saying?

Well, I honestly didn’t know that before.

I thought it was just a made-up plot from TV dramas.

Turns out, it’s actually a real saying.

The middle-aged man even directly stuffed the wooden box into Lu Jing’s hands:

"Take it."

Lu Jing was stunned for a moment, then wanted to ask how much it cost.

Who knew, the middle-aged man spoke up:

"If you give me money, that means you don’t acknowledge me as your uncle!"

Hiss.

"Uncle, this..."

Is that okay?

Who just walks into someone’s shop and takes something without paying for it?

Besides, this item is meant to be a gift.

But, obviously, the middle-aged man had no intention of taking money:

"Take it, take it, don’t dawdle."

"Uncle!"

"Wait, there’s this too."

Then the middle-aged man took something out of his pocket and again forcefully handed it over:

"This is your real welcome gift."

So, he prepared two gifts?

One is the gift he wanted to give to his niece, and one is a separate welcome gift just for me?

"Uncle, no, I really can’t take such a valuable gift from you."

That item was none other than a piece of Warm Jade.

Yes, that’s right, the kind of Warm Jade you often see in novels and TV shows.

The jade was smooth and sleek, glossy and shiny, with a delicate feel to the touch, warming up when worn on the body.

It was said to have many effects, so the value of Warm Jade was much higher than that of ordinary jade.

Very rare, something you can’t seek out by searching.

"What? Do you dislike the welcome gift from your uncle?"

This...

"Uncle, I really didn’t mean it that way." It felt like being unable to explain clearly no matter how much you talked.

However, it was clear that the middle-aged man was doing it on purpose.

This commotion made a young couple nearby envious.

"Uncle, do you need a niece? One who’s been to college, can cook, sweep floors, and even serve tea and water?"

Pff~

At this, Lu Jing couldn’t help but laugh.

The middle-aged man also laughed heartily:

"I have enough nieces, I don’t need any.

This one is my nephew’s wife, you ask her, see if she agrees."

Agree to what?

Two wives serving one husband?

Lu Jing would be a fool to agree to that.

But obviously, everyone was clearly joking.

Ahem.

"Uncle, I’ll head back first."

"Alright, is someone sending you home? If not, I’ll have someone come over."

"No need, no need, I drove here."

"Drive safely."

"Yes, Uncle."

...

After leaving ’Galaxy’, Lu Jing felt as if he hadn’t quite come back to his senses yet, still a bit dazed.

How did it turn out like this?

Looking at the wooden box in his left hand, feeling the Warm Jade in his right palm gradually heating up.

No, he had to tell Jiang Ye about it.

After all, that was his uncle, and he’d handle it best.

He quickened his pace to the car, placed the box on the passenger seat, then picked up his phone, and immediately dialed a number.

"I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is powered off, please try again later..."

Powered off?

It seemed like this had never happened before.

He tried calling again, but it was still off.

Lu Jing then put down his phone, sighed, and drove away.

What could he do when it was turned off?

No matter how many times he’d call, he couldn’t get in touch.

He’d worry about it later; for the moment, he drove home.

...

The car was still running slowly, and it took about twenty minutes to get home.

No one was home right now; the old couple must have gone to the old house to help out.

After putting the Warm Jade back in his room, Lu Jing set out with the wooden box in his arms.
