107: Chapter 107 Turns Out to Be a Rich Person 107: Chapter 107 Turns Out to Be a Rich Person Su Qingyu couldn’t resist Su Ziqing and was dragged upstairs.
It seems Su Ziqing is really eager to know what gift she has been given.
Ye Shikai was sitting at the dining table having breakfast when suddenly a high-pitched scream rang in his ears.
“Ah ah ah…” Without thinking, it was definitely Su Ziqing’s scream, but that scream was a bit too loud, the whole villa could hear it…
Ye Shikai calmly took a sip of milk, followed by a sound of “tap tap” footsteps.
Su Ziqing ran down from upstairs quickly, rushing straight over to him, almost throwing herself into his arms.
“Qingqing, calm down a bit.” Ye Shikai blocked Su Ziqing with his hands; otherwise, this little girl would have definitely jumped onto him.
“Brother-in-law, is this Luminous Pearl real or fake?” Su Ziqing, holding the box, asked excitedly.
“Of course, it’s real.
Would I dare to give something fake?” Ye Shikai responded indifferently.
The Luminous Pearl from Empress Dowager Cixi, although precious, Netherworld Palace still possesses many rare treasures, which he had seen countless times.
“Brother-in-law, how much do you think this thing is worth.” Su Ziqing carefully observed the Luminous Pearl, her face filled with a greedy look, her eyes almost glued to the box.
“Probably a few billion, I guess it’s worth that much.” Ye Shikai said, this kind of national treasure, even tens of billions would be considered cheap, even hundreds of billions would find buyers.
In fact, money to him is just a string of numbers, Netherworld Palace’s accumulated wealth can rival countries; even France’s richest man, Bonarson, has to be respectful towards him.
“Brother-in-law, so you were a rich tycoon all along, hiding so deep.” Su Ziqing revealed a mischievous smile, her smile also filled with shock, probably didn’t expect to possess such an invaluable treasure.
“I’m just a small white-collar worker, and the salary is even paid by your sister.” Ye Shikai mocked himself.
“Cut it out, you’re just pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.
With such precious belongings, how could you care about that little bit of salary?” Su Ziqing turned her head, making it sound like she was very greedy, nowadays, don’t many wealthy people like to do various odd jobs?
“Brother-in-law, don’t you have more of these treasures?
Look how nice I am to you usually, even helping you chase my sister.” Su Ziqing’s eyes sparkled, clearly seeing him as a rich landowner, her face practically plastered with the words “give me money”, even playing emotional cards, remembering that this stinky girl often used to make him take the blame for her…
“There’s no more, just give up on that thought.
This is a national treasure, not cabbage, it’s not something you just have.” Ye Shikai drank another sip of milk and indifferently said, keeping the girl’s curiosity hanging.
“I don’t believe it, brother-in-law, I’m sure you have more, please please.” Su Ziqing turned on her coquettish mode, throwing herself into his arms, shaking him continuously, her big eyes tearful, looking very pitiful.
“You, a college student who hasn’t graduated yet, what do you need this kind of thing for?
Why not focus on studying, and serving the country, instead of daydreaming all the time.” A college student carrying this kind of national treasure indeed seems inappropriate, and desire, that’s the most terrifying thing.
Ye Shikai was worried that Su Ziqing might become vain, but such a mentality from Su Ziqing is normal, after all, it is a national treasure.
“Hmph, and I still helped you chase after my sister, consider it a bit of…
service fee, won’t you?” Su Ziqing didn’t realize what she had said, a service fee worth tens of billions, could you possibly ask for more…
“Qingqing, I promise you, when you find a boyfriend, I will also give you a gift,” Su Ziqing’s relentless persuasion was getting to be too much for him.
This girl really wouldn’t stop until she achieved her goal, so Ye Shikai thought of a middle-ground solution.
When Su Ziqing heard the word ‘boyfriend,’ her face turned red, and she couldn’t bring herself to look at him, feeling a bit shy.
After a while, she said, “Okay, brother-in-law, it’s a deal.”
“Okay, I promise you.”
“Pinky swear.” Su Ziqing extended her little finger, her serious expression making him want to both laugh and cry.
This naughty girl really was still a child at heart.
After they pinky swore, Su Ziqing finally smiled slowly, looking reluctantly at the Luminous Pearl.
It seemed that such a gift was indeed very powerful for single girls.
It seemed he should ask Ghost to bring a couple more, just in case Su Qingyu was feeling down one day, and he could use them to cheer her up.
“Brother-in-law, I feel like I’m never going to find a boyfriend,” suddenly, Su Ziqing deflated like a punctured ball, leaving him confused.
“How can that be, Qingqing?
Look at how beautiful you are.
I bet a lot of boys chase after you,” Ye Shikai teased her, but it was true that Su Ziqing’s beauty was undeniable.
She resembled Su Qingyu somewhat and, I heard, was also considered one of Yanjing University’s beauties just like Han Ruoyao.
“But I don’t like them.
Those people, all those rich second-generations and official’s second-generations, none of them have any real talent or skill.
They only know how to flash their money around.
I’m not the kind of girl who worships money,” Su Ziqing said, with a look of disdain.
She was just like Su Qingyu in that regard.
“You really are like your sister,” Ye Shikai said.
“Do you have someone you like now?”
“I…” Su Ziqing blushed, looked up at him, then quickly lowered her head again, biting her lip before saying, “No.”
“Qingqing, there are many good men out there, I believe you will find the right one,” Ye Shikai reached out, gently stroking Su Ziqing’s head.
“Okay, brother-in-law, I’m going to go upstairs and return this to my sister.”
“Sure, be careful though, don’t trip,” Ye Shikai instructed.
Watching Su Ziqing going upstairs, Ye Shikai smiled softly.
When will this girl grow up?
After breakfast, he planned to take advantage of the weekend to wander around Yanjing and really feel the changes over the years.
After breakfast, Ye Shikai left the villa.
Looking at the streets of Yanjing, he felt like he was the most familiar stranger.
For a moment, he didn’t know where to go, then suddenly, an idea popped into his head.
Ye Shikai hailed a taxi and, after several twists and turns, arrived in Yanjing’s old city area.
In front of him was a row of shabby houses that looked very dilapidated.
Nearby, there was even a garbage dump.
In the highly sought-after land of Yanjing, countless grassroots workers lived here.
And he, himself, had grown up here.
