She spent a day having fun with her family. He Wei sent her a message when she got home and told her she had an interview the next day.

  Chen Yinghui also had news that he would host a banquet tomorrow night at Chongyu pavilion. Yun Xiangxiang replied to all her messages.

  Fortunately, she saw that Yun Ting was tired after playing today and did not arrange any activities tomorrow. It was the 23rd tomorrow, and they would leave in two days.

  The interview was scheduled in the afternoon. Qian Yongnian, who took Qian Qian back to move today, returned to bring some local specialties to her parents.

  Yun Xiangxiang had introduced Qian Yongnian and Qian Qian to Yun Zhibin before.

  “Uncle Qian, what I mean is that you and Qian Qian can live downstairs, and you don’t need to pay rent to me. If I have any good jade in the future, you can help me carve it for free.”


  Qian Qian was admitted to the university in Beijing, which was not far from there and Qian Yongnian didn’t have much money.

  The black jade compensated by Yun Xiangxiang was not enough to even buy a house in Beijing.

  Renting a house in Beijing was also expensive and hard to find. It was empty downstairs, and she might as well make the place livelier.

  “Don’t pay me the carving fee for the black jadeite, or I won’t accept it.” Qian Yongnian compromised in the end.

  He did go around to find a house, but it was too difficult to find. It was not that there were no houses available, but he was dissatisfied with the price and surrounding transportation.

  “Okay, you can follow whatever we eat.” Yun Xiangxiang nodded her head.

  The carving fee of a black jadeite engraving cost a lot. There were a lot of materials left after making Song Mian’s bracelet.

  “I have carved a few more pieces.” Qian Yongnian took out his works from these two months.

  There were five pendants, two Buddhas [1], and three Guanyin [2]. There was a custom of wearing jade, in which the men wear Guanyin while women wear Buddha.

  The five pendants were not oversized and were only the size of a thumb. They were not thick and wouldn’t appear ostentatious when worn. They were just right for their family.

  “Mom, isn’t it pretty?” Yun Xiangxiang took it in front of Su Xiuling.

  “Pretty.” This kind of moist jade was comfortable to look at even without any lighting on it.

  “Didn’t you sell this jadeite?” Yun Zhibin was puzzled.

  “No, it’s like this……” Yun Xiangxiang explained she had her cooperation with MonRoe.

  Of course, she could not say that she kept it for Song Mian’s sake. She could only say, “Such a good thing might not be possible to find in the future. How could I be willing to sell it? These five pendants are just right for our family of five.”


  Yun Zhibin felt comfortable when he heard it, but he inspected the pendant, “Why does this black jadeite look familiar when I look at it?”


  Yun Zhibin had never seen black jadeite before this, but he had seen Song Mian wearing a bracelet every day.

  “Xiuling, the son of the Song family also wears the bracelet. Isn’t it also black jadeite?” Yun Zhibin reacted.

  However, he didn’t think that the bracelet was Yun Xiangxiang’s and believed that Song Mian was richer than he thought.

  Yun Xiangxiang decided to confess after the last lesson from the cake, “Dad, those beads were also dug from this black jadeite……”


  Yun Zhibin was stunned and soon reacted. He smiled a false smile, “So we just took advantage of your boyfriend?”


  “Dad, how can you think of me that way?” Yun Xiangxiang showed an upset expression, “That’s because Ah Mian’s birthday had just passed.”


  “Isn’t your father’s birthday earlier than his?” Yun Zhibin retorted.

  “But on your birthday, I hadn’t gotten the black jadeite yet.” Yun Xiangxiang looked innocent.

  Yun Zhibin couldn’t retort to that.

  Seeing that Yun Zhibin had nothing to say, Yun Xiangxiang continued to act: “Dad, or do you mean that you hated the birthday gift I gave you before?”


  Yun Zhibin, ……

  Yun Xiangxiang, “If this is the case, I will replace it. I will find a place to gamble stones tomorrow, maybe I can……”


  “Okay, okay, okay. I was wrong.” Yun Zhibin raised his hand to stop Yun Xiangxiang, “But you gave the son of the Song family six big beads. I looked at the total of our five pendants, and it looks smaller than two beads of his.”


  They were about the same size, but Song Mian’s one was thicker while theirs were thinner.

  “Then, if I give you a large piece, would you wear it?” Yun Xiangxiang blinked her eyes.

  Yun Zhibin thought for a while. If she gave him a large piece, he wouldn’t dare to wear it every day.

  This kind of exquisite pendant would be small enough to hide inside his clothes, but the big one must be placed outside, which would be too flashy.

  “Why do I feel that you are becoming wittier?”


  His daughter was not like this before. She was obedient and had never refuted.

  “Dad, what you say isn’t right. Can’t I justify myself?” Yun Xiangxiang’s big eyes were full of accusations.

  “That’s right. Can’t your daughter justify herself instead of getting accused by you?” Su Xiuling couldn’t stand it.

  Su Xiuling would not easily agree for her daughter to get married. Her daughter had to be at least twenty-four years old, but she would not be as petty as Yun Zhibin.

  He was calculative over everything and said that Yun Xiangxiang had changed. He should look in the mirror and see how shameful he had become.

  Yun Zhibin felt wronged when he was oddly disgusted by his wife. What did I do now?

  “That’s right, Xiangxiang, I had only used two-thirds of the black jadeite.” Qian Yongnian helped to compromise in a timely manner, “The middle section is used as beads, and the bottom is used to make these pendants. The leftover materials are enough to make some earrings, or as an inlay for a bezel ring or bracelet.”


  Qian Yongnian took out the remaining part of the jadeite that was less than one-third while speaking, “Do you want to make yourself a small bracelet?”


  He could still make and polish a few beads, and he could even manage to do a carving.

  “Don’t make any jewelry for me. I don’t have freedom.” She must wear endorsement products when she attended public occasions.

  She didn’t like to wear other things in daily life, although she wanted to have a matching couple design with Song Mian.

  “Uncle Qian, do you have any other suggestions for couples?” Yun Xiangxiang expressed her thoughts directly.

  “You still want to give him something?” Yun Zhibin exploded before Yun Xiangxiang could respond that she had a slip of the tongue.

  She gave him a bracelet and wanted to make a couple design again. Wouldn’t this be for the kid?

  “I’m making it for you and mom.” Yun Xiangxiang was quick-witted.

  “Hmph!” Yun Zhibin exclaimed coldly and looked at Yun Xiangxiang with an unbelieving expression in his eyes.

  “It’s your daughter’s thing, so let her do whatever she wants with it. We should not bother.” Su Xiuling pulled Yun Zhibin away strongly and didn’t forget to explain to Yun Xiangxiang, “Your father and I are old. What kind of couple design do we need? A pendant is enough.”


  Su Xiuling didn’t understand. He allowed his daughter to date someone, but he still wanted to interfere. What a childish person.

  Yun Zhibin and Su Xiuling left. Yun Xiangxiang placed the pendant back in place. She still had to bring it to New York and show it to MonRoe.

  “I can carve a pair of pendants for you. What do you want?” Qian Yongnian suggested.

  “Couple pendants?” Yun Xiangxiang thought that this was not a bad idea. Jadeite was brittle and expensive. It definitely could not be used as a keychain.

  But with two unique couple pendants, Yun Xiangxiang was also quite happy.

  “Can you carve a pair of shoes? A woman design and a man design.”


  A pair of shoes given to Song Mian during the New Year meant,
