t the babyI gasped for breath, clamping my lips together tightly and forcing myself to stay silent." ...I heard a woman say, pain can cause a miscarriage..." A raspy voice came and went.My senses were...The gift for the wedding is a major event because their family is not ordinary.

When it comes to power and status, Lin Yanqin's father is the future Grand Elder. Forget the whole country; there aren't even a few people in the entire world with a higher position than him.

To talk about money... that's even more embarrassing.

I and my brother spent ten million to cure our father's illness. At that time, we were a bit poor, but most of the time I almost always had seven-figure deposits in my hands.

Our family isn't wealthy, but we're definitely comfortable.

For Lin Yanqin's dowry, money probably wouldn't mean much. She's from a wealthy family and doesn't need it. Just look at her aunt's properties in this city. While most people have one or two houses, hers are entire buildings.

And Lin Yanqin's brother, Lin Yanhuan, is also a low-key and wealthy person. He has a lot of companies under his control.

How can we demonstrate our sincerity without devaluing ourselves

My brother seems to have given up considering this issue. No matter how we look at it, the Lin family is wealthy and powerful, making us feel like we're way out of our league.

Frankly speaking, it is indeed a bit of a reach.

I patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Being a son-in-law hasn't been easy since ancient times. Just relax your mind, it's not that bad to be married into a wealthy family. Your grandfather is so happy that he's even giving you all his fortune..."

“What good stuff did you get Show me.” My brother perked up and asked.

I took out what my great-grandfather had given me from the rosewood box. It was a set of jade inlaid with gold, containing traditional tableware, combs, a Ruyi scepter, and ingots. It looked very high-class.

"This set of jewelry, if you bought it from a store, would probably cost around one million less," my brother frowned and said, "Don't tell me it came from the old man's tomb!"

"Pfft... I'm worried too, but Grandpa said it's not. And look at yourself, you don't have any negative energy! I reckon it was something he gave to Grandma back then." I handed over a jade comb.

My brother rubbed them in his hand, he knows more about these things than I do.

A piece of fine jade held in the hand feels different, warm and cool, yet able to quickly blend with body heat.

"And this one too, a match made in heaven…" I took out another vanity box. Inside were golden jade rings, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets, each set adorned with auspicious dragon and phoenix patterns.

My brother smiled and said, “This style is very old-fashioned! Are these really all your great-grandmother's things”

"Grandma heard you're getting married and was so happy she cried," I said.

“How is that so fast! It's just a meeting for dinner!”

"Then we'd better get prepared!" I took out a large stone from inside and placed it on the table. "This is the grand finale."

My brother hesitantly reached out and turned the stone over, his eyes widening in surprise.

On the stone surface, a piece of jade with a dark green hue like a deep pool emerged.

"Grandpa said this is the best of the best in our family, something that could be used as a dowry. I remember when I was researching, I saw an auction for a piece of jade, it sold for almost 100 million yuan, and that stone was only half the size of this one. This is something you can't even find with money. Grandpa got it when he was young while working on the border." I explained to him.

My brother swallowed nervously and asked, "Giving such a valuable thing away Is that really okay This must be the old master's most prized possession, something kept at the bottom of his coffin!"

In the antique art market, even the most expensive items are only in the hundreds of millions. It's not that there aren't better things, it's just... those better things have already become artifacts, forbidden to be traded, unaffordable to anyone, and no one is willing to sell them.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! I'm happy to help.

Therefore, the old patriarch considered this "tradable" item as a gift for marriage, showing his utmost sincerity.

"Just send it then, it's not like I'm sending it to someone else. It's for Lin Yanqin...it'll still be ours later anyway," I said with a smirk.

My brother slapped me and said, "You've gone bad, Xiao Qiao!"

"Nonsense! I'm telling the truth! The old man probably used this to add some weight to things, you know Your dad saw how much good stuff we brought and wouldn't give you a hard time." I said.

These past few days before the holiday, we've been relatively free and even had colleagues visit our home. After my brother saw them off, he chuckled and shook his head, saying, "The treatment is really different..."

Isn't that right I was also notified to attend some meetings, so my brother and I went shopping for clothes together.

This expense isn't small. The suit is made of high-quality materials, the tailoring is good, and the cut is neat and crisp. A professional suit like this would cost several thousand yuan at the very least, and even more if you add a winter coat. We spent a lot of money, and we both feel the pain.

"Come on, try that again..." I coaxed him.

He had already grown impatient, slumped on the sofa and said, "Don't... just make sure the numbers are right, buy buy buy, you decide..."

"No, this isn't for you. I wanted to—"

"...Buying this for your husband" he glanced at me.

I nodded.

The two pretty salesgirls standing beside me had strange expressions on their faces.

"Well, aren't you two a couple You guys are such a perfect match..." Just now when I was trying on clothes, they even told my brother, "Sir, your girlfriend is so pretty," but my brother just didn't bother explaining.

My brother glanced at her with a wicked smile. "What Can't you buy clothes with another woman's wife Working in high-end stores like this, you should be used to it by now, right"

The salesgirl laughed in embarrassment and kept apologizing.

"Come on, just try it for me." I shoved it into his hands.

My brother sighed, taking the suit to the cloakroom and muttering, “Such an expensive suit, and I have to burn it back… It's really extravagant.”

We didn't have a car in Beijing, so we always took taxis everywhere. After we finished shopping, we got a call from Aunt Wu who asked for our address and drove to pick us up.

My brother, looking at her used car, couldn't help but twitch his lips and say, "Big brother, can you get a better car"

"What the heck! I'm driving, and you still think the car isn't good enough Then go ride in a hundred-million dollar luxury car — straight ahead for one kilometer, there's a subway entrance." Aunty Wu scoffed.

We sat in the back row. My brother jokingly said, "Big bro, you seem full of energy. I bet your 'relative' passed away. Remember to drink less iced drinks from now on."

Sister Wu said leisurely, "What are you afraid of Just swear when you have a period, and live happily the rest of the time."

Pffff…

"Stop making things up, I came to pick you guys up because I have something important to report."

"What's the matter Did the river by Dingguo Temple get polluted and you can't fish anymore" My brother lay lazily in his seat.

"While driving, Auntie Wu said, "I and Dabao inquired from many sources and spent a lot of offerings to find out about the information about that Qing Bai Yan demon son."

"How much did it cost Have Dabao ask Xiaoqiao for reimbursement." My brother let out a yawn.

"This isn't about money! This involves a lot of ghosts—"fway, like a worm that had only half its body left, wriggling backward. It made my stomach churn."This is a ghost from the Second Palace. It missed the deadline for returning to its body and seeking v...
