ng Jin's lips curled up in a smug smile; now that Si Yu had finally acknowledged him as his father, he had to do sothing for Si Yu. If he really let Mr. ng go, everything would be ssed up.
"Wait a mont." Mr. ng called out to him.
ng Jin stopped and turned around, saying, "Dad, you may not wish to hold your great-grandson, but I long to hold my grandson."
"ng Jin, are you really my biological son?" Mr. ng gasped angrily.
ng Jin hurried forward to calm Mr. ng's emotions.
Then Mr. ng said, "When your daughter-in-law enters the family, don't be stingy. Although Si Yu has not changed his surna to ng yet, he is still a grandson with the ng family blood. As for the betrothal gifts, you must not skimp on what's appropriate. Also, in the hidden cabinet in my study, there's so money, consider it a token from as a grandfather."
When ng Jin received the items, he saw the money in the bankbook and a set of jewelry.
Mr. ng, managing the ng family's affairs, was naturally not short of money.
ng Jin's birth mother was a landlord's daughter and had a lot of jewelry. Except for a few pieces ng Yanzhi took, most were saved by Mr. ng.
Here, it amounted to about two-thirds of his mother's jewelry.
"The remaining half goes to Yanzhi, and the other half to your daughter-in-law," Mr. ng thought, naturally, his own grandson was the most important, especially since these items were from the ng family. Focusing on lineage, Mr. ng was quite clear-headed in this regard.
Otherwise, given ng Yanzhi's reckless character and his generosity with money, these pieces of jewelry would have likely been squandered by him long ago.
"Then, on behalf of Xiaolin and Si Yu, I thank you, Dad," ng Jin said as he took these items and left. He felt no pressure at all; these were originally his mother's and rightfully belonged to Xiaolin and Si Yu. He didn't mind whatever little was left for ng Yanzhi.
After all, the valuable, significant pieces were all with Si Yu now.
When ng Yanzhi's parents arranged for Mr. ng to adopt ng Yanzhi, ng Jin initial thought of having company was good, and it was beneficial for ng Yanzhi. The jewelry taken by ng Yanzhi earlier was gifted when he was young by Mr. ng.
However, as ng Yanzhi's temperant grew increasingly overbearing, ng Jin began to dislike it, and Mr. ng locked all those things up. Over the years, no matter how coy ng Yanzhi acted, he never gave them to him.
ng Jin thought to himself, Mr. ng hasn't gone senile yet.
"Si Yu, this is from your deceased grandmother to you." As soon as ng Jin saw Mo Siyu, he handed one of the two boxes to him and said about the remaining, "These are for your mother, and this money is a gesture from your grandfather."
"Dad, I…" Mo Siyu was about to refuse when ng Jin said, "Si Yu, these items, not even ng Yanzhi has them. They are from my mother, your biological grandmother's dowry. You must take good care of them and let Xiao Yue pass them down through generations."
"Also, don't rush to refuse the money. Your grandfather is old and muddled. Keeping it with him, soone may swindle it all away; besides, he doesn't need the money."
In front of his son, ng Jin was quite a chatterbox.
"Si Yu, even if you still refuse to acknowledge it, you are still my dad's biological grandson, and this money is like his way of making ands," ng Jin gave him a look. Seeing the softening in his eyes, he struck while the iron was hot, "He said that if you don't accept it, he insists on coming with us to et Xiao Yue's parents."
"Then I'll accept it," Mo Siyu said without hesitation, not wanting Mr. ng to cause a disturbance.
Jianan Prefecture.
When ng Jin and Mo Siyu returned ho, the Tang Family had already arrived. It was ng Jin's first ti eting them; gauging their age, he addressed Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian as in-laws.
ng Jin, fearing his stern face might scare them, grinned showing his teeth, yet his expression was painfully stiff.
"Relative-in-law." Tang Zhengde greeted.
After everyone introduced each other, ng Jin praised Tang Yue, expressing special satisfaction towards Tang Yue as his daughter-in-law.
While ng Jin and the Tang Family were chatting, Mo Siyu quietly took Tang Yue to the room.
"Um."
As soon as they entered the room, Tang Yue did not expect that Mo Siyu's kiss would fall, Tang Yue was anxious, fearing being discovered, she lightly bit Mo Siyu, which only made his kiss more urgent.
"Mo Siyu, can you be gentler? How can I face people?" Tang Yue touched her kissed-red lips. Even though she couldn't see them, she could feel sothing was off about her lips.
"Beautiful." Mo Siyu stared at her, the moistened red lips made her even more beautiful.
Mo Siyu pulled her to sit on the bed. Tang Yue was on guard, Mo Siyu helplessly said, "Xiao Yue, I'm not a big bad wolf."
"You are." Tang Yue accused, pointing to her lips, "Mom and dad are outside. If they notice, how can I save face?"
"Alright, alright, if you say so, it's my fault."
Mo Siyu, having gained an advantage, still acted coy and changed the subject: "This is the betrothal gift from my grandmother."
He had an opinion on Mr. ng, but he held no grudges against the deceased Granny ng, hence, knowing that it was Granny ng's previous dowry, Mo Siyu was very happy to present it to Tang Yue: "Although my grandmother is no longer here, if she were, she would definitely like you a lot as her granddaughter-in-law."
"This is too much."
Even though Tang Yue wasn't knowledgeable about these items, the sheer variety of jade and jewelry weighed heavily on her. Just randomly picking one, it's not to say they are priceless, but they were definitely valuable.
"Granny left these for the future generations of the ng family. You will be my wife in the future, these belong to you." Mo Siyu didn't just say to keep them safe, he explicitly said 'they belong to you'.
"When the ti cos, wear whichever you like, um, if you don't like them anymore, selling them is also fine, just keep one as a family heirloom."
This is how Mo Siyu said it.
Tang Yue held onto the box tightly, afraid that Mo Siyu would really sell them, she said, "Si Yu, these are your grandmother's things, how can they be sold? They are so beautiful, it would be such a pity to sell them, we are not short of money." Newest update provided by novèlfire
Even if we were short of money, she couldn't bear to sell these things.
"Okay, anyway, these items are now yours. In the future, you can handle them however you like." Mo Siyu couldn't help pinching her tender and soft nose.
Tang Yue slapped his hand away, her mouth twitching as she said, "We haven't even registered for marriage yet, aren't you afraid I'll run away with these things?"
"Would you?"
Mo Siyu asked himself and confidently replied: "You won't."
In his eyes, there was complete trust in Tang Yue.
"Reward for you." Tang Yue happily opened her arms, jumped into Mo Siyu's arms, and looking up, she kissed his chin, joyfully saying, "I'm very happy that you trust so much."
