Chapter 785 Selection
"Everything is ready, but it's still early and there's no news from Yunchuan yet. Let's just wait at home."
After hearing what Jiang Mubai said, Jiang An didn't say anything else but nodded and continued reading the newspaper. After Jiang An finished reading, he noticed the jewel brooch on Jiang Mubai's skirt.
"Nice brooch, how come I didn't know when you bought it."
"I didn't buy it. It was a gift from Uncle Yunchuan yesterday. I wouldn't buy such a big gem even if I were rich. I have to be careful all the time when I wear it to make sure it doesn't get lost. Otherwise, it would be a waste of money."
"I can see you like these things very much."
"Of course I like it. Gems and diamonds are so beautiful and dreamy, who wouldn't like them? But if I had to buy them with my own money, I wouldn't do it."
"If you like it, just buy it. Our family doesn't lack the money for you to buy gems. Isn't it that Dad works so hard so that you can buy things and spend money without any pressure?"
"I'm not such a spendthrift. Before you found me, I worked and earned a lot of money. That money is enough for me to live on for the rest of my life."
"Dad knows that you earned the money yourself, so it's normal for you to be reluctant to spend it, but why would you be reluctant to spend the money that Dad gave you? Isn't Dad working so hard to make our family live a good life?"
"I know our family doesn't lack these things. I think it's a matter of minutes to make money, but we didn't have the habit of spending money so lavishly when we were young. Now that we have grown up, we are no longer like this, so it is more important to save this money for doing something serious."
After seeing that Jiang Mubai was really reluctant to spend money on those things, Jiang An felt both comforted and distressed for Jiang Mubai. Seeing that Jiang Mubai was so persistent, Jiang An didn't plan to persuade him anymore. Anyway, since Jiang Mubai was reluctant to spend money, he would just buy them and give them to him later. Girls like these things anyway. Jiang Mubai said this himself. When the time comes, Jiang An won't be afraid that Jiang Mubai won't like them if he buys back the jewelry and diamonds.
Jiang Mubai wanted to tell Jiang An some good things about Cheng Xiangdi. This would also let Jiang An know that Cheng Yunchuan's uncle treated her very well, which would make Jiang An feel more at ease.
"In addition to preparing this brooch for me, my uncle also prepared shares of his own company for Xiang Xiang. At first I thought it was too expensive, but Yun Chuan asked me to accept it. I thought it was specially prepared by my uncle and it was a token of his love, so I finally agreed."
"Uncle Xiao Cheng really takes this child very seriously."
"Yes, after all, Yunchuan only has his uncle as a relative, and his uncle only has him as a nephew. Now that Yunchuan has a child, he must be very concerned and happy, otherwise he would not have come back to see me and Xiangxiang on purpose."
"Well, seeing how good his uncle is to you and Xiang Xiang, Dad feels relieved."
"Uncle has always been a very nice person. He is not only nice to us, but also to my and Yunchuan's friends. This time when he returned home, he brought them limited edition gifts. Before Yunchuan and I got married, uncle personally entertained us when we went abroad."
"It seems that Xiao Cheng has a very good relationship with his uncle."
"Yes, after all, he has lived with his uncle since he was a child. Even though they are not related by blood, they are better than family members."
"Do you know what Uncle Xiao Cheng likes? He prepared such expensive gifts for you and Xiang Xiang, so shouldn't we prepare something in return?"
"Uncle has everything he needs, so he shouldn't need it. Besides, I don't know what he likes. He stays abroad for a long time, so we don't have much time to interact with each other."
"We don't lack anything just like him, but he still prepared these for you. Since you are all wealthy people and don't lack things, it's just a token of his appreciation. Since he gave you such an important thing, it means he values you and Xiang Xiang very much. We should also give you something to show our appreciation."
After hearing what Jiang An said, Jiang Mubai did feel that what she had thought before was a bit superficial, but fortunately Jiang An reminded her in time, otherwise it would be a joke if she went out empty-handed.
"It's too late for us to prepare at this time, Dad, do you have any ideas?"
"It's true that we're running out of time, but don't worry, we have plenty of good stuff at home. Come with me and help me pick out something to give to Xiao Cheng's uncle."
Jiang Mubai followed Jiang An all the way to the underground wine storage room. It’s not actually accurate to call it a wine storage room, after all, there is everything in here, and the wine only takes up less than half of the space.
"How come I didn't know there was such a place under the villa."
"I didn't have time to bring you down to see it before, but now I have the chance."
"Did you buy all these things by yourself, Dad?"
"Well, I guess so. Some of them looked good and I planned to buy them for myself or as gifts. Some of them were given to me by others but I didn't have time to use them so I asked them to move them here."
"Were all these bottles of wine also sent by others?"
"That's not the case. These are all my own wine collections."
"So much! I never see you drink this much alcohol normally, Dad?"
"Isn't it because you just haven't found the opportunity? Next time if you want to drink, just come down and choose. You can do whatever you want with the things here."
"I don't know much about wine, but since it was specially collected by my father, it should be pretty good. Do you want to give uncle two bottles so that he can take them back and drink them?"
"Sure, I spent a lot of money to buy these. Uncle Cheng has been in the business world for so long, so he must be someone who knows a lot about wine. Let's choose two bottles for him."
"This is not my expertise. Let you pick the wine. I'll look around to see if I can send anything else."
Jiang Mubai left Jiang An alone in front of the wine cabinet to choose, while she, out of curiosity, walked around to see what else was in the wine room.
Jiang An spent a long time choosing in front of the cabinet and finally picked up the two most expensive bottles of red wine to give to Cheng Xiangdi. Although he felt sad to spend these wines, it was a rare opportunity. Jiang An would just ask someone to keep an eye out for these wines and buy them when the time comes.
Jiang An placed the selected red wine on an empty table nearby. Seeing Jiang Mubai looking around, Jiang An immediately walked over and introduced it to him.
"These jars are filled with tea leaves. They are all the best. Even your father can't bear to drink them!"
"Really? Uncle seems to like tea very much. Why don't we pick a can of tea for him?"
Jiang Mubai didn't feel bad at all when giving away Jiang An's collection of things: "If feelings are not yours, you won't even blink when giving them away, right?"
"No, but Dad, if you think about it carefully, compared with the things Uncle Yunchuan gave to me and Xiangxiang, aren't we still getting a bargain?"
"I can also give such expensive things, but isn't that bad? Otherwise, what will Xiao Cheng and his uncle think when they find out? They will think we look down on them."
"I know that we are all people who don't lack this little money. Since we are not comparing the value, then let's compare the thought. This is what you said, Dad. Why do you feel distressed when I give you tea now?"
"You don't drink tea, so you don't know how much we tea lovers value these things. Every can of tea in here is priceless. How can I not feel bad for it?"
"I'll make money and buy you more in the future, okay? If you can buy so much, it means there is still a market for it. Yunchuan and I will keep an eye out for you in the future."
