70: Chapter 69: A Gleam in the Eye
70 -69: A Gleam in the Eye
The old lady’s action truly shocked Jin Yu’s family.
Even Du Chunming’s eyes were wide open.
Although Du Chunming was not knowledgeable about goods, he had a good eye, and with such fine jade, he thought, how much must it be worth?
The entire Xu Family, both young and old, wondered if the old lady was starting to bluff people again.
“In-laws, this…” Wu Lan hesitated, wondering if the gift might be too valuable.
Especially for their family.
Even though Wu Lan did not look down on others, she couldn’t help but admit that the Xu Family did seem really poor.
“It’s not as valuable as what you’ve given,” said the old lady, her voice neither light nor heavy, with a smile on her face.
She pulled Xu Niannian’s hand and said to Wu Lan, “Our Niannian is the treasure of our family.
Since your family values our Niannian, we can’t shortchange this young man, Jin Yu.”
The old lady was very good with words, not outright asking the other party to treat Xu Niannian well in the future.
It simply stated an attitude, that although their family was poor, they still had something to offer, and it also indicated that, regardless of whether the other party was rich or not, their Niannian should not be bullied.
With that single statement, Wu Lan swallowed the rest of her words.
Jin Yu and Jin Nandong, on the other hand, didn’t have such convoluted thoughts, feeling that since it was an exchange of engagement tokens, anything given by the other side was acceptable.
They wouldn’t scorn something cheap, nor would they find anything wrong with a valuable gift.
Therefore, Jin Yu accepted it as a matter of course.
When it was time for the younger pair to exchange tokens, Xu Niannian gave a piece of Liuyue Su, but she made a nice show of it with her words.
“Our family is poor, and we don’t have much to offer, so this Liuyue Su is handmade by me.
It symbolizes my skills.
Once I marry into your family, all of my skills, whether to make money or whatever, will serve your family.”
The subtext was as follows: anyway, our family is destitute, we have nothing to give, and the matter of serving will be after marriage, and she wouldn’t really marry him.
However, to Wu Lan and Jin Nandong, the subtext they heard was: From now on, I will be a part of your family.
Wu Lan couldn’t stop smiling and nodding her head, saying, “Yes, yes, yes.”
Jin Nandong, meanwhile, nodded in satisfaction.
His son was a man with good judgment; if he made a choice, it wouldn’t be wrong.
The value of the gift was not important; what mattered was the sincerity of the person involved.
Only Jin Yu understood Xu Niannian’s real subtext, and he sneered inwardly, pulling a bullet out of his pocket and placing it on the table.
“This is the bullet that was removed from me the first time I was injured,” Jin Yu pointed towards his heart, “taken out from here.”
The engagement was something where the parents’ gifts were significant, but what the young couple gave did not need to be so formal.
Therefore, Xu Niannian’s family was not upset by Jin Yu presenting their treasure with a mere bullet, but rather, they were more satisfied with Jin Yu because of his reasoning.

It seemed that the young man really was captivated by their Niannian.
Wu Lan and Jin Nandong knew about Jin Yu’s first injury, so they had no doubts.
Only Xu Niannian looked at Jin Yu suspiciously.
What was this trash up to?
Playing the deep love card?
Wasn’t it too cheesy?
After all, they were only pretending to be engaged, nothing more.
Noticing Xu Niannian’s gaze, Jin Yu’s thin lips curved upward into a mischievous smile.
Xu Niannian was almost dazzled by his handsome smile.
What followed was a discussion about the engagement gifts.
When it came time to discuss this matter, Xu Niannian and Jin Yu were both kicked out.
Yang Cuihua even asked Xu Niannian to take Jin Yu for a good tour.
The two walked side by side, with Jin Yu’s stature being quite tall, and Xu Niannian, at a height of one meter seventy, slender and elegant.
Coupled with both of their exceptionally good looks, they did make a strikingly well-matched pair as they walked together.
