Four hundred and fifty-five
This ruby ore is too precious, so Zhong Caini can understand her mother's almost unreasonable suspicion of Wu Ming.
"Don't talk nonsense. However, Zhong Rui retorted to his wife: "For a theft case, no matter how high the value of the case is, when have you ever heard of the fact that it will alarm at least the ministerial-level leaders to interrogate the suspect in the ward?"
"You...... How can you be sure that old man is a ministerial leader?"
"What rank is the biggest leader you've ever seen with a personal guard?"
"I ...... Where am I going to meet someone so high?"
"Still. Since you haven't seen it, why do you have to doubt the identity of the old man who appeared in Wu Ming's ward?"
Seeing that the more her parents argued, the more outrageous it became, Zhong Caini hurriedly diverted the topic and asked her mother Jin Xiaoying: "Mom, how much do you think this ruby ore can be worth? Will it be more than the one million that Dad paid to Wu Ming?"
Rolling her eyelids and glaring at her daughter, Jin Xiaoying still couldn't help but say, "It's the first time I've seen such a big and pure ruby ore." It's worth a million or two, right?"
"One or two million?" Zhong Rui took it, looked at it in his hand for a while, and said, "There is no place to buy three million." ”
"Are rubies that valuable?"
"Ordinary rubies aren't worth much. However, it is difficult to say that such a large ruby is too large. ”
"Nini, he'...... How did he get his hands on it?"
"Mom, what do you mean by 'getting your hands on it'?"
"Yes, yes, it was Mom who said the wrong thing. Jin Xiaoying eagerly looked into her daughter's eyes and asked, "Tell my mother quickly, where is Wu Ming from...... Bought?"
"I don't know. Zhong Caini said truthfully: "He just said that he got it when he left the country last time." He also said that he got more than one piece. ”
"How many pieces are more than one?"
"Mom, what do you mean?"
"Huh? It's not interesting, Mom is just curious, curious. ”
Jin Xiaoying was born in a wealthy family, and she can be regarded as a person who has seen the world. But as a woman, the nature of liking gemstones is no worse than that of ordinary people. Therefore, holding that piece of ruby ore for a while, I can't put it down.
"Mom, since you like it so much, I'll give it to you. ”
Hearing her daughter's words, Jin Xiaoying first showed a smile on her face, and then handed the ruby ore to Zhong Caini's hand again.
"Mom is not uncommon. Blinked, picked up the water cup on the coffee table and took a sip and said, "I received a call from your uncle the day before yesterday, Jin Jingxian will come back to open a company after New Year's Day." Your uncle has repeatedly asked us to take care of him on the phone. ”
Zhong Caini didn't answer her mother's words, but just quietly listened to her parents' discussions. Because she understands what her mother means, she also understands a little bit of Jin Jingxian's intention to go to General City to develop.
"How to take care of it, you can give some money, we can't help anything else. ”
"I don't want you to pay, Jin Jingxian's family is not short of money. Nini's uncle said that it was Kim Kyung-hyun's parents who repeatedly asked him to call us. It means that Jin Jingxian came here alone, and he is not familiar with the place, so he wants us to pay more attention to it. ”
"You're not going to want him to come to our house, are you?"
"What, your father and daughter are busier than the other, can't someone live in and be my companion?" Jin Xiaoying turned her head to look at Zhong Caini and asked, "Nini, what do you say?"
"Okay. Mom is right. Playing with the ruby ore the size of a duck's egg in her hand, Zhong Caini said naturally: "Anyway, I'm going to move back to the institute after the festival." ”
"What, you're moving back?!"
In fact, Zhong Caini didn't want to move back to the institute in advance, but when she heard her mother say that she would invite Kim Kyung-hyun to live in again, she suddenly had such an idea.
"How can Caini make room for you if she doesn't move back?" Zhong Rui saw through his daughter's thoughts at a glance, so he answered in a dissatisfied tone.
"That'...... Then I already promised your uncle on the phone, what should I do?" Jin Xiaoying is not stupid, after hearing her husband's words, of course, she immediately understood her daughter's thoughts.
"Mom, it's true. Now that the words have been spoken, Zhong Caini feels that although living in the institute is not as convenient as living at home, it is beneficial to her future research work. So, having made up her mind, she said to her mother, "My research project is at a critical juncture, and I am only halfway through it. When I came up with the results of the other half, I moved back completely and stayed with my mother every day. ”
understands that the daughter who has been talking since she was a child, since she has said everything to this point, there must be no room for turnaround. Jin Xiaoying couldn't help but deeply regret her decision to agree to her brother to let Jin Jingxian live in the house.
"Nini, it's all bad for my mother. He looked at his husband apologetically, then at his daughter and said, "Why don't you wait for Kim Kyung-hyun to come and stay for a few days, and after his company is settled, my mother will ask him to leave?"
"You're saying it simply. Zhong Rui said angrily: "The person who came is a guest, as long as Jin Jingxian doesn't take the initiative to mention it, are you embarrassed to drive people away?"
"But...... But I've already promised Uncle Nini, what should I do?"
"Make up your own mind. ”
Zhong Rui, who was angry in his heart, simply stopped arguing with his wife and got up to go back to his study. I didn't want to get up just now, but Zhong Caini's mobile phone suddenly rang. Although he knew that the call had nothing to do with him, Zhong Rui still sat back on the sofa.
Zhong Caini was also curious about who would call her at this time, picked up her mobile phone and glanced at it, and saw that it was a local landline number in Jiangjun City, and casually pressed the answer button and said, "Hello." ”
"Happy New Year's Day, Caini. ”
"Robert, how are you?"
"What, are you bothering Caini?"
"Not really, I just didn't expect you to call at this time. ”
"Oh, by the way, how is your body, are you still in the hospital?"
"No, there is nothing wrong with my body, and I have been discharged from the hospital and returned home. Zhong Caini smiled on the phone and said, "Are you still here?"
"yes. I've been waiting here for Rainbow to meet poor Robert when it's convenient. ”
"Hehe, look at what you said. Zhong Caini smiled a little embarrassedly and asked, "Still living in the Little Swan Hotel?"
"yes. What's Caini's plan for tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow ....... Zhong Caini hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't I call you again tomorrow morning?"
"Okay, I'll wait for your call. ”
"Goodbye. ”
"Good night. ”
"Nini, who is this person?"
"I had a good relationship with my seniors when I was studying in the UK. ”
"Listen to you, this Robert has been in General City for a few days?"
"Yes, Dad, their U.S.-based company won the bid for the design of the Provincial Stadium. ”
"Nini, did he come to see you?"
"It's not. Zhong Caini did not mention the relationship between Robert and Zhen Jiali, a mixed-race beauty in Jiayu Hotel, but said to her mother: "I don't know exactly what he came here for." ”
"Listen to you, don't you really want to see him?"
At this point, Zhong Caini still admires her mother's observation. So he nodded and said, "He has always wanted to go further with me, but I don't have that kind of idea." ”
"Why don't you go with your mother tomorrow?"
"What is that?" Zhong Rui glared at his wife and said, "No matter what, people come from afar, and the minimum etiquette must be there." ”
