Chapter 171: Swallowing Blood and Teeth

  Yu Xiao's gaze swept around the people nearby and finally settled on Er Shu.

  "What's going on?" The old man frowned and looked at Xiaopang's father.

  Xiao Pangzi's father saw the two of them and immediately relaxed his originally furrowed brow, looking at Yu Xiao with a hint of surprise: "Yu Xiao, how did you come?"

  "Dad..." The mother of the little fatty was obviously afraid of the old man, and as soon as she saw him, she quickly withdrew her hand that was still holding money and hugged the little fatty in front of her.

  The little fatty saw his grandfather and was even more obedient than when he saw his father, tightly holding onto his mother's clothes. His small eyes occasionally glanced at Ji Yun, clearly showing that he had not forgotten Gu Xiang's jade sheep.

  "I heard that a relative of yours got married, I wouldn't have known if you hadn't told me. Now that I do know, I should at least make an appearance." Yu Xiao hooked the corner of her mouth and was somewhat polite to Little Pao's dad.

  "Dear guest, dear guest, I originally wanted to invite you, but recently heard that you went on a business trip, so I didn't come to disturb you. When did you get back?" Little fatty's dad said with a smile.

  "It's been back for several days." Yu Xiao chatted with Xiaopang's father for a few words, and then shifted her attention back to Erniang and Gu Mei.

  He walked a few steps forward, came to Gu Mei's front, with the slightly polite attitude towards Xiao Pangzi's father, and looked at Gu Mei with a hint of familiarity: "Miss Gu is also here to attend the wedding today?"

  "Yes." Gu Mei was also surprised, she had attended two banquets related to marriage and met Yu Xiao both times.

  "What a coincidence." Yu Xiao smiled and continued: "Last time I had something to attend to and left early. Whether it was my fault or not, let's find another opportunity to get together properly."

  "Alright!" Gu Mian spoke with Yu Xiao while secretly glancing over at Second Uncle and Second Aunt a few times.

  Second Uncle and Second Aunt were still in a state of shock, staring blankly at Yu Xiao and Gu Mian.

  "By the way, what are you guys doing? How come I keep hearing people say that I'm an idiot?" Yu Xiao turned her head and glanced at Er Niang.

  Gu Mei smiled and pointed to Xiao Pangzi's mother: "It's not a big deal, they took a liking to the jade sheep you gave me and want to buy it for twice the price. You know I'm quite fond of these things. Originally, I didn't want to part with it, but since they're so sincere, I couldn't refuse. As for what she said about you... that's my aunt, she doesn't recognize quality and doesn't know the value of jade sheep. That's why she would say something like that, don't bother arguing with her."

  "Twice the price?" Yu Xiao looked at Little Pangzi's mom in surprise, and glanced at Little Pangzi's dad who was standing beside her with a somewhat forced smile. He said: "Cai Cheng, your wife has good taste, that jade sheep is indeed a good thing, and it's not necessarily something you can find outside. However, I didn't know you were also interested in collecting antiques. This hobby is pretty good, my old man at home has recently developed an interest in these things too."

  Xiao Pangzi's father, Cai Cheng, heard Yu Xiao say this. The smile on his face was about to fall off, and he could only dryly laugh: "My wife doesn't understand these things, she just learns from others and blindly follows, how can she compare to Director Yu?"

  "You're too modest." Yu Xiao walked over and patted Cai Cheng's shoulder.

  Gu Mei watched from the side as Yu Xiao continuously praised the little fatty's family for having good eyesight and being accurate in their judgment, her heart was delighted. Originally, she wasn't very confident that this little fatty's family would actually be able to buy the Jade Sheep for 800,000, after all, her ultimate goal wasn't to sell the Jade Sheep at a high price, but to thoroughly embarrass Second Aunt. Incidentally, also teaching a small lesson to parents who spoiled their children to the point of being lawless.

  Now Yu Xiao has set up this play, if Xiaopang's family has any requests for Yu Xiao, then her jade sheep may very likely change hands today.

  But this is still not enough. Gu Ming decides to add fuel to the fire.

  "By the way, I forgot to mention something. I'm a pay-on-delivery kind of person and I don't really like cheques, so if possible, I hope you can make an immediate transfer. Once the payment is received, I'll hand over the jade sheep to you. If you're worried about safety, you can bring someone to appraise it, and if it's fake, I can refund you immediately." Gu Xiang said slowly.

  "How can the jade sheep be fake, Miss Gu is being modest." Yu Xiao smiled and added: "I'm the same as Miss Gu, I don't like checks much either, and for antiques, it's normal to pay after delivery."

  "I may not be a businessman, but I know the importance of integrity. 800,000 is not a small amount for most people, so we need to pay extra attention. " Gu Ming emphasized the two words "integrity" and also hinted that Xiaopang's family had promised to buy the jade sheep, so it would be best not to back out at the last minute, otherwise it would be a breach of integrity.

  Xiao Pangzi's mother was even more shocked, she knew Yu Xiao, but didn't expect him to be so familiar with Gu Cang, the niece of Er Shu, and even less expected that what her son had been clamoring for was an antique.

  Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glare at her aunt on the side. If it wasn't for her aunt mentioning that jade sheep, how would she have said something about buying two sets?

  She has already spoken out, and now Yu Xiao has heard it clearly. If she takes it back now, she's afraid that her whole family will be ridiculed to death, and the credibility of her husband and father-in-law will also be damaged.

  Second Aunt was glared at by Little Fatty's mom, and finally came to her senses, knowing she had made a mistake. Second Aunt couldn't help but shrink her neck and sneak behind Second Uncle.

  "Mom, I want a little sheep..." Little fatty pouted when he saw that his mom hadn't bought him the little sheep after half a day.

  "You child, I've told you so many times, can't just want everything you see! You're really disobedient!" Little fatty's mom immediately shifted her anger to little fatty, but since he was still her son, she couldn't bear to scold him too harshly, and only lightly patted his buttocks.

  This has stirred up a hornet's nest, Little Fatty has been the treasured darling of the family since he was young, even his grandfather and father only scolded him with their mouths but never laid hands on him. His mother's slap, although it was very light, was an earth-shaking event for him.

  He was actually beaten up!

  "Wow, mom is a bad guy, wants little sheep, wants little lion!" Little fatty struggled free from his mother's arms, bent over and was about to roll on the ground.

  Cai Cheng knew his son's behavior, and it was okay at home, but in a public place like this, with Yu Xiao by his side, he couldn't afford to lose face. He quickly took advantage of the fact that Little Fatty hadn't fallen to the ground yet and picked him up, holding him tightly in his arms, or else Little Fatty would continue to make a scene.

  "Look at how you've taught your child, and now he's become like this!" Little Paozi's grandfather finally couldn't hold back anymore, directly pointing the spearhead at Little Paozi's mother.

  The mother of the little fatty felt wronged. She only had one son, and it was right for her to be more affectionate, although she knew that her son's overbearing personality was a bit fierce. But thinking that the child was still young and didn't understand things, it would be better when he grew up, who knew it would turn out like this today.

  Besides, it's not just her who spoiled their son like this...

  But she could only think about it in her heart and didn't dare show it on her face at all.

  "Turns out the one who wanted the jade sheep was this little guy!" Yu Xiao had an epiphany, slapping her own hand. Looking at Little Fatty's dad, she said: "Your son is quite something, knowing what's good stuff at such a young age, he'll definitely be someone to reckon with in the future."

  "You're overpraising me, kids don't understand things and are used to causing trouble," Cai Cheng said awkwardly.

  Gu Mei also saw Er Shu hiding behind Er Shu's back, and couldn't help but roll her eyes secretly. When doing things, don't think carefully about what should or shouldn't be done, what can or can't be said. Now that you know you've made a mistake, you just hide behind Er Shu's back.

  "Mr. Cai, the wedding banquet is about to start, do you and Yu Yang still want to go?" Gu Mian withdrew her gaze and smiled at Cai Cheng.

  Xiao Pangzi's mother had a feeling of being on the back of a tiger. Just now, she said double the price so comfortably, and people around also noticed it. But 800,000...

  "Gold has a price, jade is priceless. There are not many Han dynasty jade sheep that have been passed down through the ages. Since we've encountered this one, of course, we should buy it." Little fatty's grandfather hesitated for a moment before turning to Cai Cheng and saying: "Since the price has already been agreed upon, then let's just go ahead and buy it."

  "Yes." Cai Cheng nodded, he had expected this to happen. He wouldn't have come here today no matter what, and even more so, he wouldn't have let his dad and Yu Xiao come together. How embarrassing.

  Gu Mei's eyes lit up, and the smile on her face became even more radiant. It seemed that Second Aunt was not entirely useless after all. At least this time, she had indirectly helped her earn tens of millions, and her garden villa was finally settled!

  Since they had made up their minds, Xiaopang's father and grandfather both thought it was better to get things over with quickly, so they soon transferred the 800,000 yuan into the account provided by Gu Mei.

  After confirming that the money had arrived, Gu Mei didn't hesitate and let her mother and grandfather wait here while she quickly went to the bank where the Jade Sheep was stored and took it out.

  In case of any future disputes, Gu Mei still insisted that Cai Cheng find a professional appraiser to come over and conduct an on-site appraisal of her jade sheep. After confirming that the jade sheep was indeed a Han Dynasty masterpiece, she completed the transaction in front of Yu Xiao.

  After completing the transaction, Cai Cheng carefully put away the jade sheep and, after saying a few perfunctory words, left with his wife and child. Meanwhile, Xiao Pangzi's grandfather had already excused himself due to discomfort before Gu Xiang went to retrieve the jade sheep.

  Er Biao saw that Xiao Pangzi and his family had all left, and was about to take the opportunity to slip away, but unfortunately she hadn't put this into action yet when she was called back by Gu Mian.
