Chapter 440: 440 Heirloom Jade Bracelet_1

"It’s not too difficult."

Lu Qingyi’s expression was exceptionally indifferent, his tone also very indifferent.

It might indeed be difficult for others to imitate, but for her, it felt quite simple.

Lu Mohai hung up the phone and quickly returned to the booth, "Sorry, a customer just called, it’s an important collaboration that can’t be ignored."

Lu Mohai pulled out a chair, took a sip of plain water, and spoke in a soft voice. His attitude was very good.

Yao Meishu took another look at this man. Though he was approaching middle age, he still maintained his graceful manners. He was particularly polite in how he treated others. You could tell at a glance that he was a man of depth.

Maybe that’s what successful people are like.

"Mr. Lu seems very cultured, I guess your family background is quite good."

Yao Meishu asked casually, as if without intention.

"Well, I got a bit of a head start compared to others."

Lu Mohai’s answer was very insightful, he neither denied his privileged background, nor blatantly boasted about it.

Indeed, people from wealthy backgrounds do start from a better position than those from impoverished families.

There’s a big difference between growing up with a silver spoon in your mouth and being independent from an early age.

Even though everyone is equal, the gap between the rich and the poor is a very real issue.

Yao Meishu responded with a smile, but in her heart, she was jealous of Ruan Qingyang to the point of going mad.

She had seen Ruan Qingyang’s suitors before; she couldn’t remember what they looked like because it was so long ago. However, what Yao Meishu had not forgotten was that they were all sons of wealthy families.

Each one was richer and higher in status than the last. You could tell just from their super cars and suits that their family background was exceptional.

"If Mr. Lu can help, I would be grateful. But if you are too busy, just forget that I mentioned it. Thanks for the steak, it’s getting late so I’m going to leave now."

Yao Meishu took out her mobile phone, a smile playing on her lips as she glanced at the phone, her voice soft and gentle.

The smile on her lips was actually not very natural at all. Yao Meishu felt that if she stayed any longer, her smile might freeze on her face.

"Sure, take care."

Lu Mohai nodded, watching as Yao Meishu left.

The moment Yao Meishu turned to leave, her once smiling eyes suddenly clouded over.

Oh, Ruan Qingyang.

Her lips were on the verge of freezing with the smile, after saying so many good things about Ruan Qingyang, she felt nauseous.

——

"Yiyi, you’re here, come sit over here."

Gu Xiang was watching TV in the living room, and her eyes lit up the moment she saw Lu Qingyi.

Her beautiful daughter-in-law was here.

"Auntie."

Lu Qingyi responded with a smile, nodding to Gu Xiang as a gesture of politeness.

"What’re you calling me aunt for? I’ve told you to call me mom. Come sit over here. We should invite your dad over one day and have a meal together. Speaking of your dad, it’s been a while since I’ve seen him. It’s only Mr. Xu who visits him often."

Gu Xiang patted the place beside her, speaking softly to Lu Qingyi. Her voice was gentle, she truly liked this child.

Although she didn’t know Ruan Qingyang very well, she did remember her fondly because of Wen Wanyu.

She had hoped, if Lu Mohai was able to woo Ruan Qingyang, their two families could have become in-laws. She believed Ruan Qingzhi’s child would certainly be outstanding.

Unexpectedly, her son actually won over Ruan Qingyang’s daughter. When she heard the news, Gu Xiang was overjoyed.

She had always liked Lu Qingyi very much, and now she liked her even more. No matter how she looked at her, she seemed perfect.

"Sure."

Lu Qingyi sat beside Gu Xiang, a sweet smile on her face.

"Boyan’s cousin will be coming over later. You two are about the same age, try to get along."

Gu Xiang patted Lu Qingyi’s hand as she said this, her voice exceptionally gentle.

"Sure."

Lu Qingyi grinned lightly.

Xu Boyan and Xu Hang were busy in the kitchen. Xu Hang naturally knew how to cook too, the father and son were very similar.

Before meeting Gu Xiang, Xu Hang did not go into the kitchen too. It was only after meeting her that he started learning to cook.

Gu Xiang asked, "When are you two planning to get married?"

She really wanted Lu Qingyi to officially become part of the Xu family soon.

"On December 14th."

Lu Qingyi bit her lower lip slightly and slowly replied.

"Ah, no, that won’t do."

Upon hearing the date from Lu Qingyi, Gu Xiang immediately shook her head in denial.

Lu Qingyi looked at Gu Xiang with confusion.

"It’s November 20th now, less than a month left, which is too rushed. You didn’t inform us earlier either. This won’t work, we’ll need to reschedule. The wedding has to be well prepared."

Gu Xiang held Lu Qingyi’s hand to explain. She simply felt the time was too tight, and they hadn’t been notified in advance. With less than a month to prepare, they couldn’t organise anything.

A wedding is a once in a lifetime event, and it requires careful selection and full preparation. It can’t be done haphazardly.

Getting married is a big deal for a girl once in her life. Surely they had to make sure it was grand and beautiful.

"I want to get a marriage certificate with Xu Boyan first. We can discuss the wedding later."

Seeing that Gu Xiang wasn’t opposing it, Lu Qingyi heaved a sigh of relief. She spoke slowly, not caring too much about the wedding. What she cared about was Xu Boyan’s heart.

"That can work too."

Gu Xiang nodded her head in agreement while mentally making some calculations.

"Here, take this. This is a heirloom passed down from our ancestors."

Gu Xiang took off a jade bracelet from her wrist and placed it in Lu Qingyi’s hand.She spoke in a soft voice.

Every large family usually had heirlooms passed down from ancient times. The jade bracelet was an heirloom from their ancestor and was unique to the lady of the Xu family.

Although times have changed and people no longer adhere strictly to the Confucian virtues of women, the jade bracelet has remained a symbol of the lady of the Xu Family.

Only the person who received the jade bracelet could truly become the lady of the Xu Family. These were the rules passed down from the past, and were not emphasized as much now. However, traditions that should be handed down have to be maintained.

"Mom, this doesn’t feel right. You should keep this."

Lu Qingyi glanced at the jade bracelet in her hand. The exquisite color alone was enough to suggest its high value. It was something very precious.

Right now she was only Xu Boyan’s girlfriend, they hadn’t officially registered their marriage yet. Thus, she felt it was inappropriate for Gu Xiang to give her the bracelet so soon.

"Since you’re already calling me mom, there’s nothing inappropriate about it. Take it."

Gu Xiang held the jade bracelet and put it on Lu Qingyi herself, her voice was soft and gentle.

Whether it is given early or late, now or in the future, at any time it would be the same. The difference is almost negligible.

"Heirlooms really are antiques."

Lu Qingyi glanced at the jade bracelet on her wrist and spoke slowly.
