Chapter 115: Xia Yuwei’s call came. Mom couldn’t wait to take Zhou Fang to the back room and asked about Wen Xu’s situation: “Fangfang, how are you asking? Is that guy already looking for someone in the university?
Got a partner?"
Zhou Fang looked at Third Aunt's anxious look and said with a wry smile: "Third Aunt, I didn't ask anything."
"You have a very good relationship with him, how could you not ask?" Mom looked at Zhou Fang in disbelief, then suddenly said with a straight face, "Fangfang, you couldn't have colluded with him to lie to me.
Bar?"
"How is it possible? Brother seems to know something. As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked me if I was the third aunt. You asked me to ask." Zhou Fang shook her head and quickly explained to her mother.
Mom thought for a while and attributed the final reason for the failure to Wen Xu being too smart. She took Zhou Fang's hand and continued: "Fangfang, it doesn't matter if you didn't ask this time. You can find another opportunity to ask aunt. Or you can help me.
Keep an eye on him to see if there is anything unusual about him."
"Then I've become a spy?" Zhou Fang muttered in her heart, but still agreed: "I know, Third Aunt."
When my mother heard Zhou Fang's words, she smiled with satisfaction and said, "Fangfang, don't worry, Third Aunt will never treat you badly. When the Chinese New Year comes, Third Aunt will give you a big red envelope."
Upon hearing what her mother said, Zhou Fang laughed happily, her eyes narrowed into two crescent moons.
…
Wen Xu walked upstairs, where his second uncle was playing with about ten pots of orchids he had carefully cultivated in the greenhouse he had built. Seeing Wen Xu coming over, he couldn't help but smiled and shouted: "Come and take a look at the orchids I have here. Let's see how well you recognize them."
I don’t know the goods.”
Wen Xu walked over and took a look, and his eyes suddenly lit up. The Dangshan Lotus, Crystal Plum, Jade Rabbit, and Good Guys were all mid- to high-end precious varieties.
When the second uncle saw that Wen Xu actually called out his name, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "I didn't expect that after studying in college for half a year, I would actually gain a lot of experience. Not bad, not bad!"
The corners of Wen Xu's mouth twitched slightly, and he thought to himself: "I didn't learn this in school. I learned it from a killer."
The second uncle saw Wen Xu was silent, and then said: "Xiao Xu, come and take a look at my pot of orchid and see if you can guess what kind it is."
Wen Xu lowered his head and saw that there were no spots on the lips of this pot of Jianlan. He couldn't help but said happily: "Isn't this pot the legendary Su Xin Jianlan?"
This Su Xin Jian Orchid is indeed very beautiful. The leaves are broad and thick, upright like swords, and the petals are fat and shaped like bamboo leaves.
The second uncle gave Wen Xu a thumbs up, and then lowered his voice and said, "You know the goods! I spent this amount to get this pot of Su Xin Jian Orchid yesterday."
"What? This plate of orchids cost more than three thousand!" Wen Xu shouted in surprise.
The second uncle on the side hurriedly stopped him and said, "You are crazy! If you shout so loudly, if your second aunt hears it, I will lose my pocket money again this month."
Wen Xu also realized that he had lost his composure and couldn't help but sneered: "Sorry, I was a little excited just now."
The second uncle gave Wen Xu a big look and was about to turn around and walk downstairs, but Wen Xu held him back.
"Second uncle, don't leave in a hurry, there's something wrong with your Suxinjian orchid." Wen Xu pointed at the orchid and said to his second uncle.
The second uncle looked at the orchid and asked Wen Xu, "No way? I think it's fine. How can there be a problem?"
Wen Xu squatted down, tapped the inner end of the Suxin Jianlan petals with his fingers, and said to his second uncle: "Originally, most of the Jianlan petals have subtle spots, mainly brown. Although this kind of variety is okay, it is definitely not worth it.
It’s a lot of money. Although the precious Su Xin Jian Orchid is similar to this flower, its petals are clean and without a trace of pollution, but if you look carefully at the petals on this plate, the color is very unnatural.”
Seeing that his second uncle didn't believe it, Wen Xu went on to say, "If my estimate is correct, this must be an ordinary orchid that has been faded with chemicals. This is a common method of counterfeiting, commonly known as depigmentation."
Hearing what Wen Xu said, the second uncle immediately came to his senses and cursed angrily: "This Song Laosan actually dares to lie to me. I will go find him this afternoon with this pot of orchids."
Wen Xu smiled and said nothing. There are so many fake products nowadays, ranging from fake shampoo to sanitary napkins for women. It is normal to buy fake orchids.
Seeing that Wen Xu knew so much about orchids, the second uncle couldn't help pointing to the orchids and asked Wen Xu: "Xiao Xu, can you help me see if these orchids are real or fake?"
"Second uncle, I only know a little bit about orchids, and I am not an orchid expert." Wen Xu smiled bitterly while checking, "However, in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with these orchids."
After hearing Wen Xu's words, the second uncle finally breathed a sigh of relief, patted Wen Xu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You are really becoming more and more promising. I will give you some extra New Year money during the New Year, just as a reward for you."
.”
"Thank you..." Before Wen Xu could say "thank you", his second uncle laughed and said, "How could I forget that you are a millionaire now, so you definitely won't care about this little money."
Wen Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Second uncle, you don't know that all my money was confiscated by my mother."
"This is your own money. Your mother confiscated your money with just one sentence. How can you justify it? Later, I will go and talk to you and ask her to return it to you." The second uncle waved his hand and said disapprovingly.
Hearing his second uncle's words, Wen Xu was so moved that he burst into tears and thought to himself: "The help you just did was really not in vain!"
…
Grandpa, grandma, aunt's family, and uncle's family all arrived, and the second uncle announced that dinner was ready.
Everyone first stood up and toasted to the two elders, wishing them a happy new year and good health, and then it was time to distribute the new year's money.
Grandpa and grandma first gave a red envelope to the eldest sister Miao Ting, and then Wen Xu.
Wen Xu paid New Year's greetings to his grandparents and was just about to receive the red envelope, but Zhou Fang snatched it away halfway.
"Fangfang, yours is here, why are you trying to snatch Xiaoxu's?" Grandma said to Zhou Fang with a smile.
Zhou Fang pouted and said to her grandmother: "Grandma, you don't know, he is now a millionaire and has even bought a house. Why don't you give him lucky money!"
In fact, grandma had heard about it from her mother a long time ago. She looked at Zhou Fang and said with a smile: "Xiao Xu's ability to buy a house is his, and it is my intention to give him the New Year's money. It doesn't matter whether he has money or not. In grandma's eyes,
, you are all children who will not grow up. Fangfang, Ruirui, this is your red envelope."
Hearing what grandma said, Zhou Fang had no choice but to return the red envelope to Wen Xu, but said reluctantly: "You are so rich, and you still ask grandma for money. You are really shameless."
Wen Xu smiled awkwardly: "All my money is with my mother..."
Hearing what Wen Xu said, everyone turned their attention to my mother, who sneered and said, "It's for his own good that I don't have to worry about him misusing the money when I collect his money."
Wen Xu took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and hurriedly winked at his second uncle, telling him to help him persuade his mother quickly.
The second uncle pondered for a while and then said to his mother: "Third sister, although your starting point is good, are your methods too strict? We all know that Xiaoxu has been a good boy since he was a child, and he has earned so much this time.
Once the money comes back, you will really be successful. I think you should stop being so strict and let Xiaoxu take care of it on his own."
As soon as the second uncle said this, the aunt and uncle immediately agreed.
"Since everyone says so, let's return the money to Wen Xu!" Dad glanced at mom and said.
"You will be a good person!" Mom glared at Dad, took out the bank card from her bag, handed it into Wen Xu's hand, and said, "I gave the money to you, you can't use it arbitrarily.
.”
"I got it, Mom!" Wen Xu took the bank card with a smile and quickly put it in his pocket.
"Okay, let's start eating now! The other people's New Year's money will come after they finish their meal." Grandpa picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the food, and the others followed suit.
Wen Xu was about to toast his second uncle with a cup to thank him for his generous words, but unexpectedly his cell phone rang at this moment.
The eldest sister Miao Ting couldn't help but joke: "Becoming a millionaire has even increased my business."
Wen Xu smiled bitterly and said to Miao Ting: "It's just a strange number. I don't know who it is yet. You guys eat first. I'll answer the call and come back."
As soon as Wen Xu left, her mother immediately winked at Zhou Fang and asked her to follow him to find out who was calling Wen Xu. Zhou Fang hesitated for a moment, but followed with a blushing face.
"Zhou Rui, do you want to go and have a look too?" Miao Ting said to Zhou Rui.
Zhou Rui's interest was also aroused, he nodded quickly and chased after Miao Ting.
"These children..." When grandma saw Miao Ting and the others, she shook her head helplessly, but her eyes narrowed into a line with a smile.
…
"Excuse me, who are you?" Wen Xu answered the phone and asked.
A voice like wind chimes immediately came from the phone: "Hello, Wen Xu, my name is Xia Yuwei."
"You are Xia Yuwei!" When Wen Xu heard the other party's name, he couldn't help shouting in excitement. However, after shouting, Wen Xu began to regret it.
Xia Yuwei was stunned for a moment, and then asked Wen Xu, "Do you know me?"
"No... I don't know you. I just heard my roommate mention you often. You are a junior in the School of Pharmacy and the campus beauty of our school." Wen Xu explained quickly.
Xia Yuwei smiled faintly and said: "Yes, I am a third-year pharmacy student at Jiangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I called you today just to tell you that your quilt is here with me."
"Cup?" Wen Xu asked strangely.
"It's not a cup, it's a quilt for sleeping." Xia Yuwei corrected, "As for why your quilt is here with me, I think you may have picked up the wrong one when you moved to the school district. By the way, it's been a long time since you came to school. I'm glad.
Give me your quilt."
Wen Xu thought for a while and said to Xia Yuwei: "As soon as possible on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year!"
"Okay, you can call me at this number when you get to Jiangzhou. Goodbye!" Xia Yuwei said and hung up the phone directly.
