"This idiot, why hasn’t he come out yet, so stupid! Is it that hard to find a bag!"While waiting for Bai Xiaosheng, not even five minutes had passed when Jiang Yue couldn’t help but start to grumble.At the moment, the movie theater they were in was actually in a remote location. It was entirely found while searching for a place to buy dried fruits and preserves, and the theater was not very crowded; it was still a walk to the main street.The sky was getting dark, and Jiang Yue was also worried about getting home late."Don’t speak like that, he just went in for a bit, and besides, it was you who lost the bag." Su Lingyu couldn’t help but speak up for fairness."Fine, you blame me then!" Jiang Yue said angrily, "If it weren’t for him angering me, would I, a meticulous person, have lost the item?"Su Lingyu silently watched him."Alright, alright, I did pick up the wrong bag on the high-speed train, but I’ve compensated him!" Jiang Yue insisted confidently."Alright, alright, he’ll b

Accompanied by Su Lingyu’s cry for help, Bai Xiaosheng’s voice suddenly rang out from outside the door, remarkably clear.Instantly, everyone in the room was stunned.Then, the eyes of Su Lingyu and Jiang Yue filled with joy."Bai Xiaosheng, we’re in here!""Come and save us!"The two of them shouted."Quiet!" "Shut up!"Yan Pozi and Wang Laoliu, who were guarding them, shouted angrily at the same time."There’s someone!" "Who is it?!" "Who’s out there!"The three men couldn’t help but cry out in panic.This kind of "transaction" they were involved in was the last thing they wanted exposed, as getting caught would be a serious matter!"Don’t panic; it’s just a kid!" Yan Pozi yelled."Just a pretty boy who’s with these two women. He almost messed up my deal earlier!" Wang Laoliu quickly added, "Hurry and open the door."The three men looked at him in surprise."What are you looking at me for, do you want him to go call the police? Control him first!" Wang Laoliu glared at them harshly

Su Lingyu led the way, with Bai Xiaosheng following behind as they took the elevator up.Upon reaching the door, Su Lingyu fished out the keys to unlock it."Come in," Su Lingyu entered first, smiling at Bai Xiaosheng, and then helped him find slippers."Thank you," Bai Xiaosheng said politely, smiling as he changed shoes in the entryway."Xiaoyu, you’re back, why so late? Fortunately, I stewed ribs today, and dinner was late too. Your arrival now is just in time for eating..." a gentle voice rang out.Immediately afterward, Bai Xiaosheng saw a woman wearing an apron, walking out with a smile, her eyes and eyebrows full of affection. Listening to Su Lingyu, her mother was forty-five, but to Bai Xiaosheng, she didn’t look it at all.She kept herself in good shape, her hair thick and black, her skin fair. If someone said she wasn’t even forty, people would believe it.The moment she saw Bai Xiaosheng, the woman was taken aback."Hello, Aunt Yan," Bai Xiaosheng greeted with a slight smil

Halfway through dinner, the Su family’s doorbell rang, and Su Lingyu got up to answer the door.Bai Xiaosheng heard a stretch of conversation."Xiaoyu, where’s your mom? Isn’t today her birthday? Why did I think it was tomorrow?"A voice came through—similar in tone and speed to Jiang Yue’s but more mature."Auntie Jiang, it’s not today, it’s tomorrow, Dad and I got it wrong," Su Lingyu explained.As they talked, two people entered with Su Lingyu; one was a woman in her forties, dressed in bright and striking clothes with delicate makeup and thin lips—definitely the chatty type.Behind her followed Jiang Yue.Jiang Yue glanced around, caught sight of Bai Xiaosheng, and quietly glared at him.After all, he had just "scolded" her a moment ago.Bai Xiaosheng pretended not to notice."Jiang Lu, you’re here, look at my husband and dear daughter, both managed to get my birthday wrong." Yan Xuefei said with a laugh as she rose to meet them, and Su Dazhong also stood up smiling.Bai Xiaosheng

"Boss, what gift did you prepare for that Su family girl’s mom?" Zou Guangxin couldn’t help but ask as he parked the car.Since getting in the car, Han Chen had been holding a box in his arms.The slender box was about a palm wide and half an arm long, engraved and inscribed to give it an antique look."Inside here, there’s some really good stuff!" Han Chen fiddled with the box and glanced at Zou Guangxin, "Just this box alone, do you know how much it’s worth?""How much?""Twenty thousand!"Just the box itself was twenty thousand!Zou Guangxin jumped in surprise, his eyes wide, "That’s, that’s just too extravagant, boss! What’s inside?!"Han Chen smiled proudly, "A genuine piece of calligraphy from a Ming Dynasty artist! Worth over a million!"This was something he had stolen from his family’s old patriarch!Zou Guangxin turned around, staring at the box and swallowed hard, puzzled, "Boss, didn’t you say you were just playing around with that Su girl, why are you spending so much?"H
