Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 832, This blow was bound to happen sooner or later.

"The expressions on my parents' faces yesterday suggested that they knew about the two children."

"They probably didn't know before, but they'll most likely meet them this time they're back, since they're their grandchildren."

"The day after tomorrow is my wedding day in the summer. I'll be very busy during this period, and I probably won't have time. It will either be before or after the wedding."

"The child is already so big, if we're going to meet, we definitely won't postpone it for too long, otherwise it would seem impolite. It'll most likely be today or tomorrow."

"I'm not home except at noon."

"It's definitely not possible at home. Even in a regular restaurant, you might run into someone you know, so that won't work either."

At this moment, Qu Ying was in her office, with several addresses written on a piece of paper.

Several addresses are written on it.

He marked many of them with an X.

Only the Overseas Chinese Hotel and the Beijing Hotel remain.

Qu Ying muttered to herself, then looked at the last two addresses.

"Given Yang Xiaole's personality, he will most likely entertain guests at a hotel. Compared to the Overseas Chinese Hotel, the Beijing Hotel is closer and has better facilities. It's probably here, and the time should be around noon today or tomorrow."

Qu Ying fixed her gaze on the four characters "Beijing Hotel".

Finally, he sighed, crumpled up the note, and threw it into the trash can.

……

If Yang Xiaole knew that his wife had pulled down his underwear, he would probably be shocked.

At that moment, he called his father and drove to pick him up.

"Look at you! What kind of terrible things have you done? How is Qu Ying supposed to face people now? What will Xingxing and the others think of you?"

"The child is so old, and you're only just finding out now! What have you been up to?"

……

On the way, my father kept nagging.

Yang Xiaole, driving, laughed upon hearing this and said, "Dad, don't scold me! I've heard Mom nag me a lot about how a female ticket seller came to your workplace and how you two get along really well."

And that Xiaoli from before!

Yang Guangzhi, who was sitting there, suddenly sat up.

"You little brat, all you hear is your mother spouting nonsense. How old am I? How old is that young girl?"

Yang Xiaole chuckled: "I heard it from my mom! Go ask her if you dare!"

He overheard his mother nagging about it.

If it's true, the mother would probably storm the bus company.

The father never stayed out overnight and handed over his entire salary, since Yang Xiaole provided the cigarettes and alcohol.

In the summer, I would only carry two cents in my pocket for a soda or an ice pop.

His pockets are usually spotless.

Opportunities to commit crimes are few.

As the two talked, the car drove to the restaurant.

After going inside, I waited there.

……

Around 11 a.m., Yang Xiaole saw the car arrive downstairs and said to his mother, "They should be here soon. I'll go pick them up."

He said hello and then left.

Tell the waiter that the food is ready to be served.

Upon arriving downstairs, the group had already entered the lobby.

"Master, Dad, Mom! Here I am!"

Yang Xiaole waved to the group.

"father!"

As the group approached, the two children looked at him and called out.

Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Okay, let's go. Grandpa and Grandma are upstairs!"

Then he looked at Master Suo and the others: "Master, Mom and Dad, let's go up!"

Su Ling smiled and nodded: "Let's go!"

The group headed towards the elevator.

On the way, Huang Qiujing asked with some worry, "Xiao Le, will Mom and Dad have a problem with me?"

Hua Yourong was someone she had known since childhood, so her actions could be considered as interfering as a fourth party in a relationship.

Yang Xiaole smiled nonchalantly: "It's okay, I'm here! By the way, there's nothing worth bringing here from the mainland, so I didn't ask them to prepare anything. You two can each get a red envelope."

Let me say this in advance.

Huang Qiujing shook her head: "It's nothing!"

The money she has now no longer causes her much of a stir.

After all, the assets she currently manages are more than the total import and export volume of mainland China in a year.

As they were talking, the elevator arrived at their destination.

Unexpectedly, Wang Qiuju's father and his companion were already waiting not far from the elevator.

"Oh, old man! Long time no see! How have you been lately?"

When he came out, his father saw the old man and naturally greeted him with a smile.

After all, they are elders.

Although they are of the same generation according to seniority.

Grandpa Su, leaning on his cane, said with a smile, "Good, all good! It's a blessing that I didn't die out there!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qiuju laughed and said, "Look at what you're saying! You look very healthy! Don't say such unlucky things."

After speaking, he looked at Su Ling and her husband.

A moment of awkwardness ensued, but she glanced at Yang Xiaole and still smiled, saying, "This must be our in-laws! It's been so many years!"

Su Ling's father and his wife naturally came over with smiles to exchange pleasantries.

"Yes! It's been many years since we last met. This is my husband; you haven't met him before."

Upon seeing this, Yang Guangzhi naturally came over and shook hands politely.

"Hello!"

After exchanging pleasantries with the elders, Yang Xiaole introduced them: "Mom and Dad, this is Hua Yourong, whom you've met before. This is Huang Qiujing, this is Yang Zimo, and this is Yang Siqi. Call them Mom and Dad, and Grandpa and Grandma!"

He needs to set a tone to avoid making the uncles and aunts feel awkward.

As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Yourong and the others called out nervously.

"Mom and Dad! (Grandpa and Grandma!)"

Wang Qiuju was beaming from ear to ear.

Gone was the resentment from before; he smiled and pulled Hua Yourong and Huang Qiujing along.

"Oh, good, good, good! You're both good girls. This must be Zimo and Qiqi, they've grown up so much. Your father really shouldn't have said so earlier. Here, take one of these for each of you, to keep you safe."

He let go of the two girls and then went to pull his two grandchildren.

He gave the gold-inlaid jade lock to the two of them.

Zimo and Qiqi were a little uncomfortable, but since they had been told beforehand, they naturally wouldn't be so impolite.

"Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma!"

He addressed her again.

"Okay! Okay! Good girl, let's go into the private room! It's warmer inside."

Wang Qiuju laughed heartily, and that was the end of the small talk.

……

After the group entered, the men sat together and the women sat together.

The father was naturally exchanging pleasantries with Uncle Suo and Hua's father.

The mother was naturally facing several women.

Looking at the two beautiful young women, Wang Qiuju wondered how her son had managed to trick them.

"Daughter, Mom doesn't have much to offer, please take these two! Don't look down on them!"

"Thank you mom!"

Hua Yourong and Huang Qiujing naturally wouldn't mind.

The amount of money doesn't matter; it represents recognition.

Every place has its own customs.

"Hey, okay, okay!"

Wang Qiuju didn't know how to communicate, she just stood there smiling foolishly.

"Mom, these are things we brought from Hong Kong Island. This is for you! This is for Dad!"

Hua Yourong took out what she had prepared.

"Hey, look at you, kid! You're not giving me anything! I didn't even prepare anything!"

Wang Qiuju felt a little embarrassed looking at the things.

Yang Xiaole sat there and said with a smile, "Mom, take this! It's just a small token of my appreciation." Wang Qiuju opened it upon seeing this.

When I opened it, I was surprised by what I saw.

Inside the box was a set of jadeite necklace, earrings, and ring.

"Mom, this is mine!"

Huang Qiujing, of course, was not at a disadvantage either.

A jade bracelet.

Wang Qiuju recovered from her surprise: "This must have cost a lot of money! You guys keep it. I'm too old to wear these things."

After liberation, gold and silver were subject to control.

However, there is no regulation on jewelry.

Nowadays, gold shops even sell jewelry. I don't know the value of these things, but I know they are more expensive than gold.

As for the gifts for the father, they were a jade Guanyin pendant, a jade thumb ring, and a watch.

The treatment was significantly worse, but there was nothing that could be done; men rarely wear jewelry.

Su Ling smiled and said, "My dear in-law, please accept this; it's just a small token of the child's appreciation."

Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Yes, Mom. Here you go!"

Hearing this, Wang Qiuju put the things away.

Looking at them, I felt a surge of emotion: "My dear in-laws, it's been almost twenty years since you went to Hong Kong! Time flies!"

Su Ling sighed, "Yes! Next year will mark exactly twenty years. If it weren't for Xiao Le, I don't know what kind of life we ​​would have lived for the past twenty years!"

The group chatted and exchanged pleasantries.

Yang Xiaole then smiled at Hua's father and said, "Dad, when did you get back? I thought I wouldn't make it in time!"

When I returned yesterday, Hua's father was not in Beijing.

"Oh, I arrived last night. I was discussing investment matters with government agencies in Guangdong, so I got here a bit late."

Yang Xiaole hummed in agreement: "How did the talks go?"

"It didn't go very smoothly. The land I wanted was a bit too big, and they couldn't make that decision."

Yang Xiaole nodded gently: "No rush, take your time!"

Although it's open now, many things are not as simple as they seem.

Whether it's capitalist or socialist, and which path it should take, hasn't been fully decided yet.

After all, we are still feeling our way across the river.

The mother looked at her two grandsons and granddaughters with great affection.

“Hey, Guangzhi, look at Zimo, he looks exactly like Xiaole when he was little. Qiqi’s eyes and mouth are just like Xiaole’s.”

Yang Guangzhi nodded with a smile.

"Yes, it really does look like it!"

As they were talking, the food began to be served.

Wang Qiuju then turned her questions to Huang Qiujing, since she knew Hua Yourong somewhat.

Huang Qiujing answered her mother-in-law's questions without reservation.

With so many years of experience in the business world, he would often make his mother laugh.

……

When Yang Xiaole came out of the restroom, Hua Yourong and Huang Qiujing were there touching up their makeup and talking.

Huang Qiujing looked at him and said, "Don't drink too much."

Yang Xiaole laughed and said, "It's alright! Don't you know how much I can drink?"

Then, looking at the two of them, he smiled and said, "Now you're all better! You don't feel guilty anymore, right?"

Hua Yourong pouted and said, "You'd better think about how to explain this to your family! You can't keep hiding it like this forever!"

These words gave Yang Xiaole a headache.

She rolled her eyes: "Can you please stop spoiling the fun!"

Huang Qiujing, on the other hand, was smiling with her lips pursed.

Hua Yourong touched up her makeup in front of the mirror, saying without looking up, "This isn't a downer; this is the reality you'll have to face in the future!"

Yang Xiaole rolled her eyes.

They walked towards the private room.

Hua Yourong leaned out to look and laughed, "Not everyone can enjoy the blessing of having multiple wives! Let me tell you, he's in for a world of trouble now."

Upon hearing this, Huang Qiujing said, "Don't stir things up. He's probably annoyed enough already."

Hearing her say that, Hua Yourong shrugged: "Fine, I won't say anything more!"

After packing their things, the two went to the private room with smiles on their faces.

……

The lunch went fairly well.

The two grandchildren gradually became more active after being reserved.

Because they noticed that their grandmother seemed to be speaking up for them.

When they hear that their child's grades are already so good, they say that the child is too young and shouldn't be assigned so many classes, as their grades are already good enough.

When told not to eat greasy food, they say the child is growing.

After all, the food at Four Seasons City is still at the stage of heavy oil and salt, which is basically just enough to satisfy basic needs.

In the end, Hua Yourong and Huang Qiujing were also defeated.

We can only let the two children run wild for the time being.

Wang Qiuju is very sorry that her grandchildren cannot come to her home.

But there's nothing we can do about it now.

After the meal, everyone chatted for a long time before dispersing.

Yang Xiaole drove his parents home.

……

"Mom! You have to keep this safe, don't break it."

In the car, Yang Xiaole watched her mother fiddling with the jewelry and still gave her a reminder.

He didn't really care, but he was worried that his mother would be heartbroken if she broke it.

Wang Qiuju held the item with curiosity: "Xiao Le, how much does this cost? It must be expensive!"

"Yes, it's not cheap. Your necklace set was used by Empress Dowager Cixi back then. It was auctioned off for HK$463 million in Hong Kong. Your bracelet is even more expensive, HK$700 million."

"How many?"

The mother's voice rose eight octaves.

This startled Yang Guangzhi, who was standing next to him.

He was playing with the jade pendant in his hand.

"Can you please stop being so dramatic! Luckily you didn't say anything during dinner, acting like you've never seen anything like this before."

That's what they say, but what used to be casually held in their hands has now become tightly gripping the object.

Afraid of falling.

Wang Qiuju carefully placed the items into the box.

He pulled Yang Guangzhi's things over as well: "I'll keep these things. If they get bumped or damaged, you'll be crying later."

Then he turned to Yang Xiaole and asked, "Xiaole, are your two wives really that rich? Several million? That's over ten million combined!"

A few thousand dollars is a huge sum for her, let alone tens of millions.

My hands were trembling when I was putting things down.

Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Yes! So you'd better keep this safe, or your grandsons will break it!"

This thing is still at its current price.

It's estimated that in another twenty years, it could reach hundreds of millions.

With the wealth of his two daughters-in-law, ordinary things were no longer presentable; this was precisely the item being auctioned at Sotheby's.

"Goodness! I'd better keep this safe!"

There's no way around it, this thing can be passed down through generations.

Yang Guangzhi rolled his eyes, "I haven't seen enough yet!"
Seeing this, Yang Xiaole didn't say anything, doing this because she was afraid the two would feel sorry for each other in the future.

After putting the things away, the mother asked, "Hey, Xiao Le! What are you going to do about Qu Ying's matter? We can't keep it from her forever! She's not stupid!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole nodded slightly: "I know! I'll handle it!"

He has thought it through and knows he still needs to be honest.

If Qu Ying knew nothing about it, he could still keep it a secret.

Since we've already stripped him of his underwear, there's no need for further action.

If you stretch out your head, it's still a knife. If you shrink your head, it's still a knife.

This was bound to happen sooner or later.
