Chapter 921: Chapter 895 Give a Suggestion Chapter 921: Chapter 895 Give a Suggestion Kiara firmly believed that if a woman wants to live like an aloof and proud queen, she must not only have an independent character but also a ans to stand on her own. If she couldn’t do either, she would just have to learn to compromise and tone down her temper to be a traditional housewife, willing to sacrifice for the family. As long as she’s willing, who dares to say it’s not a happy and ordinary way to live?
The thing she feared most was that when choosing a partner, one would act on impulse and think any man would do. After marriage, if the man couldn’t et her expectations and their ideas didn’t align, they would fight daily, with crying and drama, turning life into that of a constant complainer. All they would do is demand change from the other without considering what they could do for themselves.
Whether it’s a man or a woman, as long as they don’t see themselves or their spouse as a sage, they won’t make things difficult for themselves or others. Kiara used this strategy to help Jade’s wife overco her estrangent with the child, to accept her imperfect, ordinary self, and figure out how to enhance her own worth in order to demand equal treatnt from her partner. Otherwise, it would be torture for both herself and her partner.
Maybe in the future, Jade Ross and his wife would still have all kinds of heartaches and petty troubles intertwined, but with the right thods, they could always get along sohow. If they couldn’t, Jade’s wife had developed the ability to live independently, and whether to leave or not would be her own decision. Such is the life of ordinary people.
Kiara missed her Shaolin Monk a bit… To find that extraordinary one among the ordinary, she thought she was truly fortunate.
There was still so ti until the results were released, so Kiara took care of things at ho and returned to Linville before Giorno ca back.
She could already imagine how her nopausal mum would react upon finding out that Giorno had fractured his leg and dared to hide it from the family. When the ti ca, she, as an “accomplice” who knew but didn’t report, would also get an earful. Best to run while she could.
To prevent her mum from calling and lecturing her, Kiara simply turned off her phone.
Although she hadn’t been ho for several days, the house was spotless. Camden must have stayed overnight in the past few days. She could guess that he’d been coming ho late since the ssage she received from him last night was already close to midnight.
She hadn’t told him that she’d be coming ho today; she wanted to surprise him.
There was a quaint and durable little table on her bay window. Kiara walked over and touched it—it looked newly made. Could it really be the Yellow Flower Pear Wood table she wanted?
She rembered ntioning it to Camden before they separated, saying she wanted such a small table. He had actually taken it to heart.
She wondered whether he had made it or bought it. This Yellow Flower Pear Wood had a faint scent of incense, likely the finest quality Mahogany. It seed freshly made, but given how much money she knew Camden had, even if Yellow Flower Pear Wood wasn’t expensive, he couldn’t afford it.
So it must have been pilfered from Uncle Woody Junes and then crafted by hand.
Kiara stroked the little table back and forth. The wood was truly fine, its scent uplifting—a truly good piece. Even more precious was that Camden’s carpentry, although not that of a famous artisan, was bold and had preserved the character and grain of the wood without wasting the good material.
After studying her new furniture for a while, a light bulb went off in Kiara’s head.
She turned on her phone, ignoring the missed calls from her mum, and dialed Uncle Woody Junes.
“Uncle, did Youngest steal so wood from you?”
“It was more than just wood… he didn’t even spare my bracelet, snatching several planks is one thing, but he also took my rosewood bracelet, and even my newly finished Jadeite Pearl Pendant, saying it was for his future daughter. Kiara, you need to control him; this is way out of line—storming into my house at four in the morning, I was still sleeping and almost died of fright when I opened my eyes!”
Uncle finally found soone to vent his frustration to.
Such a little tyrant, he had beco an outrage to both gods and n!
“Eh? I only saw a small table, though. He took several planks from you?”
“Mm, he said that one truck isn’t enough, next ti he’ll get a bigger truck to co over, because he wants to make a crib for his future daughter… Kiara! He’s being unreasonable! Why does he favor girls so much over boys? Does that an if he has a son, the boy wouldn’t even get a bed and would have to sleep on the floor? Kiara, let’s make a deal, if you have a son in the future, can you return that Jadeite Pearl Pendant to ? The quality of that material is just too good, no matter if it’s for the floating flowers pattern or the clarity, it’s top-notch!”
“…Uncle, you’re actually just attached to your Jadeite Pearl Pendant, aren’t you? If Youngest Brother of Yuno Family finds out you want him to have a son just so you can get your pendant back, not only will he not return it to you, but he’ll also swipe a few more pendants for his son from you, like dragon heads, fish, Nothing-to-do Cards, Double Dragons Protecting… Which one isn’t more costly than the Jadeite Pearl Pendant?”
Uncle was quivering as she said this, it was a true pain in the flesh…
“I’ve figured it out, you two are like the King of the Mountain, experts in robbing wealth!” He hadn’t even finished admiring it, and he was super confident in this batch’s Jadeite Pearl Pendant; he even planned to enter it in a contest!
“Don’t say I don’t look out for you, I’ve got a good job for you.”
“What is it?”
“The wood you’ve been stocking up, can you still buy it? The genuine Yellow Flower Pear Wood, the Mahogany kind!”
“Sure, you want to buy that?”
“I’m just suggesting you should buy more.”
“It takes up a lot of space, will you have sowhere to put it if you buy it? It’s gone up from 20 per kilogram four years ago to 100 per kilogram now—that’s a fivefold increase. There isn’t much room for it to grow. If you want to use it for furniture, just buy enough for that.”
“Listen to , buy! Take a third of your liquid assets and invest it in buying more, then rent a warehouse specifically for storage.”
“Did you hear so insider tip?”
“Only a fivefold increase and you think that’s it? Just buy, Uncle, and make sure you pick the ones with a strong fragrance and older years, don’t worry about the price. If I tell you not to sell, then don’t sell.”
Satisfied with just fivefold? In the next few years, that’s going to surge a hundredfold!
Of course, what follows will be a long plumt, much like Puerh tea—both were hyped up in the market. Even though wild Mahogany is becoming rarer, its high price is still a result of speculation. What Kiara wanted to do was to get Uncle to stock up now.
Last ti Kiara spoke to Uncle in this tone, it was two years ago when she asked him to buy a large number of raw gemstones, and Uncle made a killing from that, so of course, he trusted her deeply.
“So how much are you going to buy this ti?” Uncle thought Kiara would also be investing.
“?”
Kiara thought again of that man clad in flowing white robes. If she got into the wood trading as well, wouldn’t she inevitably et him again?
“I’m not buying anymore, you can buy on your own.”
In this life, she already had a ho. She wanted to avoid stirring up such romantic entanglents; money can be earned in any number of ways, but Kiara did not want to see that man again.
The roaring voice of cartoon character Camden seed to echo in her ears, “Don’t pick the wild grass by the roadside, awoo~”
