Suddenly a strong wind blew, and the mood of autumn suddenly appeared. The temperature dropped overnight, and light clouds hung on the treetops, as cool as melted water.
Yun Qiao is making tea for Xi Lanting.
The water mist is transpiration, filling the eyebrows and eyes. A faint fragrance of tea floats in the room, and the abundant water vapor nourishes the dryness of mid-autumn.
Her diamond ring, checkbook, and deposit receipts were stored in the safe in the west wing and would not be taken out anytime soon.
Mainly because she doesn't need it.
Yun Qiao is rich, and her account has money coming in every month. The business income her grandmother left her is okay, and she doesn't need the betrothal gift Xi Lanting gave her.
There is probably no occasion for wearing the diamond ring except on the wedding day. It is so big that you can’t even lift it with your hand.
"It's too much, I can't spend it all." Yun Qiao was also a little flattered by Xi Lanting's generosity.
She never thought of asking for such a large betrothal gift.
Xi Lanting's expression was indifferent: "It's not just for you, but also for me. If I give you a large betrothal gift, everyone won't talk about your relationship with Si Fang, but only about money."
Yun Qiao: "..."
This is indeed true.
Money is a bigger impact, just like the bright moon. When the full moon is in the sky, all the stars will be eclipsed.
With the eight million ocean betrothal gift, other topics became meaningless and no one was interested in bringing it up.
The relationship between Yun Qiao and Sifang was not exposed today; in the face of the huge betrothal gift, mentioning her and Du Xueru's "mother and daughter" status was really a waste of money.
Dull.
Xi Lanting didn't want to hear depressing words on her big day, so she used money to divert everyone's attention from gossip.
Yun Qiao felt so sweet in her heart.
"...Uncle Qi, how much money do you have?" Yun Qiao handed him the hot tea and asked sideways.
Her eyes were clear and she was looking at him intently, as if she wanted to know the answer.
Xi Lanting: "I don't know."
"Don't know?" Yun Qiao was not satisfied with the answer, "How could you not know?"
"I haven't thought about it," Xi Lanting said, "I'm not very interested in money."
Just to walk in the world, money and power can open many doors. He has always been hypocritical and cannot bear the hardships of the world, so he has to spend some effort in these two areas.
Why calculate something when it comes so easily?
Xi Lanting has a bank in Peiping. In the bank vault there is a sum of gold bars that he deposited under a pseudonym, amounting to tens of thousands of kilograms.
Arming a large army is enough.
That's just the tip of the iceberg of his wealth.
Xi Lanting wanted Xi Changan to do the math, but he probably couldn't figure out just cash and gold bars, not to mention other properties and debts.
There are even banks opened abroad that buy land abroad. How do you know how much there is?
"Then if I marry you, won't I get rich?" Yun Qiao said.
She had boasted before that she wanted to support Uncle Qi, but as a result, her entire net worth combined was far less than the betrothal gift given by Uncle Qi.
Outside, she is a wealthy lady with a small amount of assets; in front of Uncle Qi, she is not worth mentioning.
Uncle Qi's wealth is like a high mountain, stretching for tens of thousands of miles. It is so huge that it scares the hearts of ordinary people. Even if it touches a corner, everyone will be shaken to the point of being unable to rest.
Xi Mansion is already considered a top wealthy family, but they have been discussing this matter for the past few days.
Not to mention Yun Qiao, the Xi family seemed to realize for the first time how generous the Seventh Master was.
Thinking back to when Qi Ye bought land to build a school and donated 600,000 to the Medical Association, they thought they had already spent money on Qi Ye.
"Master Qi is pretending to be fat, I'm afraid he's already out of money."
Who would have thought that Master Qi would teach them what it means to be a "frog in the well".
They were all discussing where Selantine's money came from.
It couldn't have been given by the Xi family, because the governor and the second master were quite calm about the fact that he had money.
Even if it was really given by the family, the three brothers must have had a share and it was not left to the seventh master alone.
This matter is extremely mysterious.
Brother and sister Jiang Yanyu and Jiang Yanjin gave Yun Qiao a set of jade jewelry, including earrings, rings, necklaces and hairpins, which were valuable, as her engagement gift.
"It's too expensive. I didn't give you so much when you got engaged," Yun Qiao said to Jiang Yanyu.
Jiang Yanyu smiled and said, "My brother and I gave this to each other. If you think it's too much, you can make up for it when my brother gets engaged in the future."
Yun Qiao smiled and said: "That's not bad."
Jiang Shaoze said: "Auntie, don't worry about it. I'm afraid I won't get married."
"Everything is unpredictable." Jiang Yanyu is more optimistic.
She heard that Luyao was busy dating, and her relatives heard about Yun Qiao and Xi Lanting's engagement, but she realized it later.
Until her parents mentioned it.
"Eight million?" The Wen family was rich, and Mr. Wen also had a lot of money in his hands. He was also in charge of the military government's military supplies, so he was not blinded by the money, but he was really shocked by this amount.
"The talk in the old mansion was very lively, and everyone was jealous." Mrs. Wen said, "Many people who claim to be rich and famous have only accumulated so much in several generations. Xiao Qi just gave it to Yun Qiao."
Only after hearing Lu Yao did he know.
She immediately ran over to ask Yun Qiao for some gossip. However, several days passed and the day lily became cold.
