The tycoon's wicked wife from the era of literature has been reborn.

Gao Chongli and the driver quickly returned with a large travel bag.

Weng Ling opened the bag and distributed gifts to everyone.

Give Grandma Tian a cashmere scarf and a pair of reading glasses.

Grandma Tian's vision is indeed getting worse, but she has never thought about buying glasses.

When she put on her reading glasses, she was pleasantly surprised to find that the world before her eyes became clear, and she said that the gift had touched her heart.

Huo Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her future mother-in-law liked it; she had been worried that the old lady from the countryside wouldn't accept such a new thing.

Huang Ying was given a set of gold jewelry, including a necklace, ring, and bracelet, a substantial piece.

"This is too valuable."

Huang Ying hesitated to accept it, but Huo Jinyu said, "This is what you deserve. Your sister-in-law and her aunt both have it, so don't worry about accepting it."

Grandma Tian looked at Gao Chongyi awkwardly, "I haven't prepared anything for Chongyi either."

Gao Chongyi shook his head, indicating that she shouldn't say that, since she was the one who helped him get his teacher's job.

A secure job is far more valuable than three pieces of gold jewelry.

Gao Chongyi took the jewelry from his wife and told her to keep it safe herself.

She acted as if she were the one who should be his wife, completely self-righteous.

The three siblings, Gao Qinghe and her brother, received gold-inlaid jade pendants; the girls' pendants featured two phoenixes, and the boys' pendants featured unicorns.

Gao Qinghe immediately recognized that the jade belonging to her three siblings was top-quality Hetian white jade.

Grade A white jade is close to the quality of mutton fat jade. It is about two fingers wide. It is not easy to find three pieces of the same quality on the market today.

Therefore, it is very likely that it was cut from the same large piece of material and then re-gold-encased.

A large piece of old material is actually more valuable, but in the early 1990s, the Hetian jade market had not yet taken off, so it was not considered a good investment.

Making three square plaques to pass down to her grandchildren might be more meaningful to Huo Jinyu.

Since Gao Qingmiao was not present, the jade tablet was entrusted to Gao Qinghe for safekeeping.

Gao Qingya is too young to wear jewelry. She only has a pair of old silver bracelets that she made when she was a child, but unfortunately she can no longer wear them.

Upon receiving the new jewelry, I immediately and happily put it on.

The gold-inlaid jade was too conspicuous, so Huang Ying instructed that it could only be worn at home and not taken to school.

Gao Qingya pouted, "Okay, I know." She was quite satisfied to be able to show off at home.

Finally, there was even a gift for Jiang Qiyue: a pair of gold bell bracelets, which fit the little guy's wrist perfectly.

Huo Jinyu held it up to the little one to tease her, and her gaze was instantly drawn to it. Her little hand couldn't wait to grab the bell on the bracelet.

"Do you like it? How about Great-Grandma gives it to Qiyue?" Huo Jinyu teased gently.

Jiang Qiyue didn't know if she understood or not, but she responded excitedly with "Aba aba".

Huo Jinyu gently helped her put on the bracelet. The golden bracelet on her small, white wrist looked especially festive.

Jiang Qiyue shook her hand, and the bell rang. The little guy seemed to have discovered a new continent, shaking his hand and laughing loudly whenever he heard the bell.

Gao Qinghe picked up her daughter's little hand and waved it, "Thank you, Great-Grandma, Qiyue really likes the bracelet~"

Everyone received a gift they liked, and the atmosphere was perfectly set.

Gao Chongli asked Grandma Tian, ​​"Aunt Tian, ​​how about you come back to the old house with us this year and have a lively New Year together?" Grandma Tian's smiling expression froze, and she quickly looked at her daughter and son-in-law, wondering what was going on.
Huang Ying's heart skipped a beat. She turned to stare at Gao Chongyi. "You've already forgotten what you just said?"
Gao Chongyi was wronged and gestured for the two men to calm down before asking his elder brother what he meant.

"Didn't I already say in the letter? Mom, you can spend the New Year at the old house. I've spent it here for so many years, and I'll continue to do so. I won't go back."

Huo Jinyu looked at her son in astonishment, "Aren't you going back?"

"Mom, I'm not going back." Gao Chongyi reiterated with a serious expression.

There were outsiders present just now, but now that only his own family is left, he feels no longer embarrassed.

Gao Chongyi stood up and said, "I voluntarily married into the Huang family. I told my elder brother about this in the letter. Didn't he tell you and Dad?"

Huo Jinyu really didn't know!

She looked at Gao Chongli and his wife with a stern face and questioned, "You two knew all along?"

Weng Ling lowered her head guiltily.

Gao Chongli stammered as he explained, "Dad is seriously ill and is still recuperating in the United States. I'm afraid it will upset him."

"Then why didn't you tell me sooner?!" Huo Jinyu stood up abruptly, her emotions running high.

No wonder she felt something was off as soon as she walked in.

I thought that after so many years of separation, the mother and son had grown distant, so she always carried a polite demeanor.

Looking back now, Yu Shu wasn't just being polite; he was clearly expressing his firm attitude and stance of staying with the Huang family.

"You, you really are..." Huo Jinyu pointed at Gao Chongli and Weng Ling, wanting to scold them for hiding things from her, but then felt that it would be pointless to scold them.

Now that things had come to this, Gao Chongli could only assume that his younger brother had been arguing with the family and advised him:
"There's no precedent in our family for someone becoming a live-in son-in-law. Besides, we live in a new society now, and the new marriage law is in place. It's all about marriage."

Weng Ling also felt embarrassed and told Grandma Tian that the social situation had changed a lot in the past few decades and things were different now. She knew that Grandma Tian was an open-minded old lady, so they would accept any compensation as long as she brought it up.

The main problem is that Mr. Gao has traditional values. If he knew that his son had become a live-in son-in-law, he would definitely be so angry that his condition would worsen. He hopes that Mrs. Tian and Huang Ying can understand their difficulties.

"Besides, the children also have the surname Gao, so it's just like a normal marriage," Weng Ling added.

Gao Qingya, who was just happy about her new jewelry, suddenly lost her smile.

Looking at her silent older sister, and then at her mother who was deep in thought, she spoke:

"Grandma was considerate of Dad and was afraid that he would be laughed at in the village, so she gave us the surname Gao. Otherwise, I would be called Huang Qingya."

Weng Ling coughed awkwardly twice. "The old house has been returned to us now. The family specially reserved a few rooms for you. I've tidied them up. If Dad knows that Uncle's family is coming back, he'll be so happy that he'll definitely get better. Then we can have Aunt take Dad back to China, and our family can be reunited."

Gao Chongli said, "I am now the vice president of the provincial university. Qing Song knows many people in the military region. I can arrange for Qing Ya to go to the best military high school, No. 7. It won't be difficult to transfer you to work in the provincial capital."

Everyone in the Gao family felt guilty towards Gao Chongyi for his sudden departure back then.

Therefore, they had discussed these arrangements on the way here.

They even planned to find a way to arrange jobs for Gao Qingmiao and Gao Qinghe.

Huo Jinyu's only wish is for her family to be reunited.

She was so excited and happy on the way here, but now that she knows Gao Chongyi doesn't want to go home, she feels so disappointed.

Gao Qinghe was secretly taken aback by what her uncle said.

With a university president and a military commander involved, is this really the ordinary family her father described? (End of Chapter)
