I have ten trillion licking dog gold

"Squeak-"

The wrought iron gate opened smoothly.

It's not that they lack a sense of vigilance. What era are we living in? There are cameras everywhere. Who would go to such lengths to swindle people in upscale residential areas?
Of course.

The still elegant woman had doubts and looked Jiang Chen up and down in his casual clothes. "You weren't the one delivering packages before."

"There are a lot of packages being delivered today, so I'm here to help Brother Zhao."

Boss Jiang is a master; he can speak fluently without batting an eye.

Correct.

His name is Xiao Zhao.

The woman completely relaxed her guard and allowed the courtyard gate to remain fully open.

Boss Jiang didn't go in; he simply handed over the high-quality wooden box with both hands.

"Your package."

"Well, thank you."

Add one more character tag.

polite.

The woman curiously examined the wooden box, and at the same time, she closed the door again, keeping someone outside.

You can't exactly invite a deliveryman into the house to rest, can you?

Watching the other person turn and go back into the house, Boss Jiang remained silent and said nothing.

Pei Yunxi is unlikely to come out.

So whether it's a complete stranger or an acquaintance, Pei Linhan, who comes out is like a cat trapped in a Schrödinger's box—either is possible.

But fate has now provided the answer.

Since it is fate's arrangement, we should accept it peacefully.

"Who?"

In the villa.

Pei Linhan sat on the sofa, put on his reading glasses, and was actually knitting. He had finished about half of it. Judging from the general outline, it looked like a hat, but the size was quite small, almost miniature. An adult definitely couldn't use it.

"express delivery."

A refined woman approached, carrying a rather heavy wooden box. "What did you buy?"

Pei Linhan, who was focused and serious, stopped and turned to look at him. "I didn't buy anything."

"This isn't yours?"

"What is this? No, it's not."

Pei Linhan glanced at the package his wife had brought back, but didn't think much of it. "That must be for our daughter."

After saying that, he looked away and continued working on his unfinished homework.

Li Wanrong temporarily placed the package on the sofa. Seeing her husband endlessly knitting these things, she became furious.

"Can't you do something productive? There's nothing you can't buy these days. Instead of wasting your time and energy, you should spend more time talking to your daughter..."

"I'd be willing, but she has to be willing to talk to you first. You're so capable, why don't you go?"

With her phoenix eyes wide open, Li Wanrong exclaimed in a strong voice, "Pei Linhan, you've finally made something of yourself!"

A thousand families are a thousand different.

The situations of the Pei family and the Wu family are clearly very different.

"Some things cannot be dealt with by force; they must be dealt with by strategy."

Pei Linhan remained leisurely, continuing to knit his cartoon woolen hat. "Can anything you buy be as warm as something your grandfather knitted by hand?"

Li Wanrong laughed in anger and sat down heavily. "Pei Linhan, I think you've gone mad. If you keep knitting like this, you can forget about being a grandfather for the rest of your life."

Pei Linhan remained unmoved, seemingly in a truly abnormal mental state. "Don't bother me, take the package upstairs to your daughter."

"What's the rush? Your daughter is taking a nap."

Parents are always the ones who suffer the most.

The child is at ease and can even take a nap, but the parents are anxious and burning with worry.

“Didn’t you say your daughter had come to her senses when you went to the East China Sea last time? You can’t get anything done.”

"If I can't do it, then why don't you go? Is this my responsibility alone? If you had half the ability to talk, you could do it..."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a noise coming from the stairs. Pei Linhan immediately stopped talking.

"woke up."

Li Wanrong's change was also quite quick. When she saw her daughter come downstairs, a smile appeared on her face in the blink of an eye, as if the argument had never happened.

If you want your daughter to stay at home longer and visit home more often, creating a positive family atmosphere is very important.

"Your package is here."

Li Wanrong picked up the high-end wooden box.

Pei Yunxi, who appeared without makeup but whose natural beauty was undeniable, cooperated with her parents' performance, pretending not to hear their argument, while her captivating eyes were drawn to the wooden box in her mother Li Wanrong's hand.

"I don't have any packages."

"what?"

Li Wanrong looked down at the heavy, high-end wooden box in her hand, surprised. "Could it have been sent to the wrong person?"

"Did you buy something and forget about it?"

Pei Linhan temporarily stopped what he was doing. Women all have this problem; they like to shop all the time. They order from this platform and that platform, and when they order a lot of things, they can't possibly remember them all.

Li Wanrong glanced at her husband and began to doubt herself.

"I don't remember having that, and it's so heavy..."

"Just open it and take a look. If it's not yours, just return it to them."

"Daughter, is it really not yours?"

Li Wanrong contacted her daughter again to confirm.

Pei Yunxi shook her head, picked up the teapot to pour water, ignoring the unfinished children's hat in her father's hand.

Although they won't nag, parents will subtly nudge you, trying every possible way and circumstance.

Li Wanrong unscrewed the wooden box, and her phoenix eyes lit up the moment she opened it.

"So beautiful—"

Without thinking, she picked up the item lying in the box.

"What is this? Jade?"

Pei Linhan was surprised and pressed his reading glasses down further.

Pei Yunxi, sipping her water, glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, and his stunningly beautiful face instantly lost its expression, as if a television program had been paused.

"Is this jade? It's such a big piece!"

Li Wanrong was a connoisseur; she carefully examined the carp on the carving, looking them over from all angles and even holding them up to the light, marveling at the exquisite craftsmanship.

"Wow, that's amazing! They're so lifelike, and there are nine of them in total. The craftsmanship alone must be quite expensive."

"Call the courier right away and return the package."

Pei Linhan felt that it must have been sent to the wrong person.

"Did this arrive by courier?"

Pei Yunxi put down her water glass and stared intently at the "Nine Carp Painting that fell from the sky."

"Yes, just over ten minutes ago. That young man is probably new, not the old Xiao Zhao. He delivered the item to the wrong place."

"show me."

Li Wanrong handed the nine carp painting that had caught her eye to her daughter, "Daughter, if this were really jade, how much would it be worth?"

Pei Yunxi didn't speak, but carefully examined the Nine Carp Painting, stroking it with her fingers and not neglecting the other side as well.

There's something else in here.

Li Wanrong found another piece of paper in the box, took it out, and subconsciously read the words on it, "Nine Carp Painting, Gold Award Winner at the Tiangong Exhibition... What is this? A certificate?"

What is the Tiangong Exhibition?

Pei Linhan was curious.

"How would I know? It's written here."

Pei Yunxi took the paper from her mother's hand again, quickly skimming through it, her dark eyebrows furrowing into visible ripples.

"I'll make a call."

Pei Yunxi carefully placed down the wrongly delivered packages one by one, and then picked up her phone.

Pei Linhan and Li Wanrong exchanged glances, bewildered, and remained silent. (End of Chapter)
