My Ares Son-in-Law

"You make it sound so good, but how much is this thing actually worth?" Yun Yuyan asked.

Hearing Xiao Chen rave about this thing, she figured it must be very valuable.

After all, for an ordinary person like her, the most direct way to measure the value of an item is by money.

Xiao Chen thought for a moment and said, "If this thing were sold on the market, it would be worth at least tens of billions. Moreover, even if you had a hundred billion, you might not be able to buy such a good piece of demon beast spirit bone. This thing is a rare find."

"Hundreds of billions?! You must be exaggerating!"

Yun Yuyan was startled.

"This piece of broken bone? It's worth hundreds of billions? My god! Hundreds of billions! I've lived for over twenty years and I've never seen so much money, I never even dared to dream of it. This is just too outrageous!"

"Broken bones? If you sell them to those rich tycoons, they will absolutely fight over them. Don't even mention billions, they would probably be willing to give up their entire fortune. Not to mention anything else, just adding thirty years to one's lifespan is something that money can't buy."

Xiao Chen scoffed, "That's why I said this thing is priceless, it can't be bought with money. If you insist on measuring it with money, that's why I said 10 billion!"

In fact, this thing was far more valuable to him than money. After all, worldly money had lost much of its meaning for him. Besides, he was really rich and had more money than he could ever spend.

Yun Yuyan remained silent for a full thirty seconds before slowly coming back to her senses.

She carefully closed the wooden box, held it with both hands, placed it upright on her knees, sat up straight, and dared not move a muscle, even her breathing was soft, for fear of accidentally breaking it.

"Why didn't you say so sooner! I thought it was just a broken bone. I was even squeezing it around in my hand just now. What if I had broken it? It's worth hundreds of billions! I couldn't afford to pay for it even if I sold myself!"

Xiao Chen couldn't help but laugh: "What's there to be afraid of? This thousand-year-old spiritual bone has been jadeified over hundreds of years, making it incredibly hard. Even if you try to crush it with your hands, or even hit it with a hammer, you might not be able to break it. Besides, it doesn't matter if it gets broken. It's still usable for me anyway, and I don't make money from selling it."

"That's not OK!"

Yun Yuyan hugged the wooden box even tighter, her expression extremely serious.

"What if? Hundreds of billions is no small sum! You focus on driving and don't talk to me. I need to concentrate on protecting this treasure worth hundreds of billions."

Xiao Chen shook his head helplessly, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.

The car continued moving forward. Yun Yuyan looked down at the wooden box, then suddenly remembered something, looked up at Xiao Chen, her eyes full of doubt:

"Xiao Chen, why did Qin Xianglan give you something so valuable? Hundreds of billions! She gave it to you so easily, and she was so respectful to you. She even broke Zhang Que's limbs and blacklisted the Zhou family for your sake. Why did she do all this?"

Xiao Chen said calmly, "Because she knows that this thousand-year-old spiritual bone is more valuable in my hands than in hers. Moreover, she also vaguely senses that I am not an ordinary person, and she doesn't want to offend me. She even wants to curry favor with me, hoping to get some opportunities from me."

"What do you mean?" Yun Yuyan still didn't quite understand. "It means that many things in this world cannot be measured by money. Worldly money and power are insignificant in the face of true strength." Xiao Chen organized his thoughts.

"What Qin Xianglan wants is not worldly wealth, but an opportunity to make the Qin family stronger and even break free from worldly constraints. And I can give her that opportunity. You may not understand this now, but that's okay. You will understand in the future. For these families, there are many things that are more important than money!"

Yun Yuyan nodded as if she understood, "What you're saying is too profound. I feel like I don't understand it at all. But I can roughly understand that Qin Xianglan and her Qin family need your help, and this request may be worth more than 10 billion. That's why she gave you such a precious gift."

“That might not be the case!” Xiao Chen smiled. “It’s possible that Qin Xianglan doesn’t even know the value of this thing. In this world, there are very few people who truly understand it. I’ve never seen one.”

"Huh? So you've found a bargain out of thin air again, and a really big one at that. Your luck is just too good. I never have that kind of luck. Every time I go to buy antiques, I get ripped off. I've lost all confidence. I went to the auction this time just to join in the fun, and I got kicked out."

Yun Yuyan pouted, "It's so frustrating to compare popularity! I can't even figure you out anymore, how many identities do you have?"

She now sees Xiao Chen as a stranger. He's clearly a very capable person, but he insists on putting on several different personas.

"If you can't see through me, then don't bother. Just think of me as a handsome young man who likes to brag, okay? Why do you have to think so much? Even if you knew my true identity, you wouldn't be happy."

Xiao Chen smiled and said.

Yun Yuyan nodded: "That's true. I feel pretty happy right now, as long as you treat me well. If you keep harping on all sorts of trivial things, I'm afraid I'll end up losing you as a good friend."

"Good that you understand. Then just happily accept me as a handsome young man who likes to brag."

"hey-hey……"

Yun Yuyan suddenly laughed, her voice becoming sweet and coquettish, "Handsome young man, promise your sister a favor."

"Damn it, don't talk to me like that, it's making me uncomfortable! Haven't you noticed I have goosebumps all over? Please stop acting like this, just tell me what's wrong, I'm begging you!"

"Can you be a little nicer to me in the future? Look at you, so rich, and I'm just a penniless pauper. It's so embarrassing. Even though you always pretend to be poor in front of others, never buying a nice piece of clothing and driving a beat-up car, we're family. You can't pretend to be poor in front of me, can you?"

"Stop, stop! You idiot, if you're a penniless nobody, then ordinary workers shouldn't even be living. You're making at least five million a year, right? Just say what you're trying to say. I can't understand your riddles."

Xiao Chen quickly waved his hand, thinking that this girl was probably overthinking something again.

"What are you afraid of? Do you think I'm going to eat you? I'll just make a small request, is that alright?"

"any request?"

“Exactly,” Yun Yuyan leaned closer to Xiao Chen and whispered, “You’re already so amazing, and you still receive gifts worth hundreds of billions. You must be very rich. Could you buy me a milk tea? I don’t need anything too fancy, just Mixue Ice Cream is fine, it’s cheap and won’t be a burden on you.” (End of Chapter)
