Chapter 1013: Chapter 1013 Gold Inlaid Jade Sucks at Racing Dogs

Suizi opened the box that Yu Jingting had snatched, inside were a pair of glass-type jadeite earrings, with clear and old structure.

Lying in the palm of Suizi, were a pair of dignified see-through peace buckles, one glance and you could tell, they were expensive.

"Ah... so beautiful." Suizi couldn’t take her eyes off them. The jade carving craftsmanship of this era was nowhere near that of the future, to achieve such delicacy was not easy.

"Look at you, acting like you’ve never seen anything." Yu Jingting put the earrings on her, according to his aesthetic, they were still a bit plain.

"The old man is really stingy, why didn’t he set them with a circle of diamonds? And he used white gold for the setting, which doesn’t look lavish at all, should have used gold—my wife, should I modify them for you?"

His tacky taste shocked Suizi so much that she stepped back and protected her little ears, vigorously shaking her head.

"Our dad’s aesthetic is the normal one, okay? This high-quality jadeite is worn for its understated charm. You make everything all shiny, can you even bear to look at it?"

The originally overpriced material suddenly depreciated.

Suizi seriously suspected that her daughter had inherited this garish taste from him; her maiden loved those vulgar, dusty rose colors. Recently, she even became obsessed with tying up her not-so-abundant hair into three little buns, each with a hair tie, and they all had to be different colors.

The colors were each more vivid than the last. Suizi felt her maiden’s taste was too garish and would clandestinely replace the hair ties with the same style, tying three identical ones, to reduce the visual impact.

But when the maiden returned from kindergarten, her head was colorful once more. Suizi learned that Dongdong had bought them.

Suizi would hide them away, and Dongdong would replenish the stock.

Dongdong, aside from Jiaojiao, was the second wealthiest child in the house; he never saved money, spending whatever he had on the boy and girl twins.

Thankfully, her son’s taste followed hers and did not get tainted by Yu Tiegen’s egregious nouveau riche style.

"What kind of big move is dad really planning? This earring, it doesn’t look like something our mother of her age would wear, why do I feel like this was intended for me from the start?"

Admiring herself in the mirror, Suizi found the value and satisfaction of the jewelry to be directly proportional.

"You’re just realizing this now?" Yu Jingting scoffed.

"Ahem, I’m not, you know, dazzled by the jewelry, right? I was thinking that our dad wouldn’t possibly dupe us." Suizi was a bit embarrassed; when excited, her IQ did decline, science truly did not deceive her.

Yu Jingting stared stubbornly at her bracelet, not letting him modify the earrings, but what about altering the bracelet?

"Wife, what do you think about this bracelet that looks like the bottom of a beer bottle? How about we inlay a ring of gold around it, gold-inlaid jade is much luckier than dog’s farts and Moldi."

"You, get, away! Gold is only used to repair bracelets that are broken or have cracks. All the good things are being spoiled by you."

Yu Jingting pouted. Such a trifle had his wife so enthralled. When she sees the "surprise" he had from the old Hu, wouldn’t she be moved to tears and cry in his arms?

Weeping while gnawing on him—the mere thought was delightful.

"What are you thinking about, smiling so lewdly?" Suizi felt that Yu Jingting was hiding something from her.

"Nothing much, how did the prenatal checkup for mom go?" Yu Jingting changed the subject.

"They indeed made a move, tomorrow someone else will perform the external cephalic version for our mom," Suizi recounted the hospital situation.

Yu Jingting thought for a moment.

"The husband of that deputy director just ordered a color TV set this morning,"

The TV set hadn’t been as precious as in previous years, but a color television still cost over a thousand.

Adding such a big item at this crucial moment, who would believe there’s no underhanded business going on?

A week ago, Suizi had guessed that they might target her mother’s belly, so she had Yu Jingting find someone to keep an eye on several obstetricians at the hospital, paying particular attention to financial movements in their homes. Sure enough, effort paid off when Yu Jingting indeed found something.

"Tomorrow we’ll go with mom, get this matter resolved once and for all, and then head to the train with no other concerns to celebrate the old man’s birthday."

After arranging everything, Suizi found time was tight but still manageable.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked upon noticing Yu Jingting staring intently at her after she had finished speaking.

"Wife, I’ve got another idea. What do you think about setting a few gold tassels on these two pieces of glass — don’t go, wife, I have other styles too!"

Suizi didn’t turn back, deciding to lock her jewelry box as soon as she got home to keep it out of his reach.

That evening, Chen Lijun was nervously restless, refusing to leave after dinner at Suizi’s house, lying in a rocking chair and rubbing her belly with worry.

"Suizi, you’re sure nothing will go wrong tomorrow, right?"

"Weren’t you brave before?" Suizi asked.

Chen Lijun nodded, indeed, she hadn’t previously thought it was a big deal.

Several of her female colleagues had used this method to turn their babies around, but she had just heard it carried risks. If not done correctly, an emergency C-section might be required.

"No worries, Jingting and I will be with you tomorrow. There won’t be any problems," Suizi reassured her while suppressing her true thoughts.

She had already discussed with Yu Jingting that tomorrow would just be a formality, intended to catch the deputy director’s foxtail. They wouldn’t actually let Chen Lijun go through with it.

The baby was just in a breech position right now, with no nuchal cord, so they could wait until the director was better to personally carry out the procedure for their mother. There was still time, or they might just let her have a cesarean. After all, with plenty of family and money, they weren’t worried about slow recovery or lack of childcare.

Luoluo ran over and knelt down close to Chen Lijun’s belly, touching gently, "Turn around, little brother."

"That’s your uncle, not your little brother," Suizi corrected for the Nth time.

"But he’s younger than me," Luoluo argued, her three small bunches of hair shaking along with the red, yellow, and earth-pink hair accessories.

Suizi’s lips twitched as Luoluo had not looked this way when she left the house in the morning.

Don’t ask, it was obviously something the local tyrant Dongdong had recently bought for her.

Chen Lijun looked at Suizi with disdain, "A girl’s aesthetic needs to be cultivated from a young age."

She was reluctant to criticize her granddaughter, but she had to be disdainful when it came to her own daughter.

"Look at her dad. With his taste, she’s starting at a disadvantage when it comes to genes," Suizi said, nodding towards Yu Jingting with her chin. He was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, fiddling with a suona, trying to figure out a birthday tune.

Wang Cuihua was standing on the side, scolding her son.

"It’s the old man’s birthday you’re celebrating, singing Beijing Opera would be better than that thing. It’s not like the whole village is dining, why are you playing the suona?"

"No problem, I’m prepared. Look," Yu Jingting pulled out a piece of red cloth from his pocket and tied a bow around the suona.

"Now doesn’t that look festive? What’s national is international. Who told you suona is only for funerals? It’s played at weddings too."

Chen Lijun was so amused by her son-in-law’s unconventional taste that she forgot her fear, pushing herself to stand up. Perhaps it was time to go home.

"Don’t be afraid, granny, the little brother says he’ll turn around tonight," Luoluo warmly waved at Chen Lijun.

Chen Lijun turned and smiled at her, "If that really happens, granny will buy you a whole box of hair accessories."

Suizi touched her eyelid, mumbling to herself, "Why does my left eyelid keep twitching?"
