Chapter 43 That was what my mother left for me

Huo Yunchen took the jewelry in his hand and his words were full of disgust, "The market price of sapphires produced in the East District is only three million, which is not even one-fifth of the pink diamond on Miss Yan's neck."

Yan Shu's face twisted for a moment, and she subconsciously raised her hand to cover the pink diamond on her neck.

I resented Yan Li even more.

Why could she let Huo Yunchen help her again and again!

Yan Li blinked, losing interest after hearing that it was only worth three million.

Although others didn't know it, she knew the price of Yan Shu's jewelry.

I thought this one was worth over five million, but I didn't expect that it couldn't even match the cheapest one in her jewelry box.

Yan Li sighed and looked embarrassed, "My sister's cheapest jewelry is five million, and it's three million for me. It was given to my sister by someone else. If I took it, people who don't know would think I stole it."

Secretly, he threw a provocative look at the woman opposite.

When Huo Yunchen saw her reaction and realized that Yan Li was after money, the unknown fire in his heart dissipated instantly.

His eyes swept over the faces of Fu Li and his daughter, and his voice was unhurried but weighty, "Since I want to apologize, shouldn't I show some sincerity? Our Huo family can't just throw away everything."

Yan Liquan pretended not to see Fu Li's suggestive look and lowered his head to look at the hem of the skirt. This was only one part in a thousand, so he couldn't bear to take it out?

Huo Yunchen lowered his eyes and pulled Yan Li to sit on the sofa. "Madam, just eat something if you are hungry. It will take a long time."

Although it was not stated directly, the meaning in the words was obvious enough.

But don’t you just tell them that it’s still too long and you can afford it!

Yan Li was very happy and raised her hand to wipe her tears, "My husband said it."

Facing her bright smile, Huo Yunchen paused while holding the cake, and felt that his heart was touched for a moment!

He quickly suppressed it and looked away from Yan Li's face.

But the heart beating wildly in my chest could not calm down for a long time.

Seeing the two of them sitting down and eating like this, the smile on Fu Li's face became more and more embarrassing.

Under the gazes of the people around him, he could only say in pain, "Go upstairs and get the set of emeralds in my safe."

Hearing that it was jade, Yan Li quickly swallowed the cake in her mouth and looked at her greedy stepmother with a smile, "Aunt Fu, is this the set of jade my mother left behind?"

Fu Li's face was visibly ugly, and even Yan Shu's eyes flashed with a cold light.

The set of jadeite that Yan's mother left behind is of extraordinary value.

It should be said that as long as that set of jade jewelry is there, the Yan family can make a comeback even if it goes bankrupt!

"Lili, that set of jadeite..."

Seeing that Fu Li was trying to get away with it, Yan Li would not give her this chance and directly interrupted him.

"Aunt Fu, after all, that is what my mother left behind. In fact, it should have been given to me a long time ago, right?"

Fu Li had a thought in his heart, and when he saw the woman's faint smile, he couldn't even breathe!

"Sister, those are the things Aunt Yan left at home. Wouldn't it be bad for you to take them out?"

Yan Shu stepped forward to persuade her, but her heart ached very much.

It's not like she's never seen that set of jewelry before, it's simply the best of emeralds.

Although she didn't know where Yan Li's mother got it, she could tell just by looking at it that ordinary people wouldn't have access to such good materials!

Seeing their unwillingness to let go, Yan Li blinked, "Aunt Fu and sister, don't you want to give me back the things my late mother left behind?"

A dead mother.

The mother and daughter were roasted directly on the fire.

If you don't take it out, there are so many people in this banquet hall, and multiple versions will be circulated tomorrow.

After all, I won't say anything good about them.

No, there were people who just watched the fun and didn't mind it.

"Mrs. Zhao, after all, this is your husband's deceased wife's relic. It's not good for you to keep it at home. Why not give it to your own daughter?"

"That's right, we all have witnessed how good Mr. Zhao is to you. How can we miss you with a piece of jade jewelry?"

"You are occupying someone else's late mother's things, and it won't sound good if you say it out loud."

Several ladies who usually disliked Fu Li naturally took the opportunity to ridicule him mercilessly.

Seeing that Fu Li was about to hold back her emotions, Yan Shu stepped forward and took her raised hand with a gentle smile, "Since it belongs to Lili's deceased mother, it is natural that it must be returned to Lili."

"No, just take off the jewelry."

Butler Zhao placed a small suitcase on the table before leaving.

Yan Li looked at the suitcase and couldn't help but think of what her mother said to her when she was still alive.

"Lili, you must take good care of this set of jewelry in the future. This is something you will use when you find your grandpa in the future."

Seeing that Yan Li was distracted, Huo Yunchen took the lead and took the small box over.

"Does Madam know the password?"

The man's questioning voice pulled Yan Li back from her memories.

Fortunately, her mother saved it and used a lockbox to prevent the jewelry from being taken away by Fu Li and her daughter.

Yan Li turned her fingers and the box was opened. Five jewelry boxes were neatly placed inside.

To be on the safe side, Yan Li took them out one by one and put them on the table for inspection.

There were many knowledgeable people around, who couldn't help but marvel when they saw the jewelry in the box.

"This set of emeralds...isn't it a treasure series?"

"It's really a treasure series, or the one that the famous designer didn't want to sell!"

Many people looked at this set of jewelry with a bit of greed in their eyes.

But when Yan Li listened to what they just said, there was some confusion in her eyes.

"Mrs. Huo, this set of jade jewelry was designed by a very famous designer in country A. Now it is priceless, so you must keep it."

Someone reminded her, Yan Li nodded with a smile, quickly put away the jewelry, and handed it to Huo Yunchen, "Husband, put it away for me."

Now that she has no stable place to live, she can only stay here with Huo Yunchen so that the mother and daughter will not have other evil intentions.

"Put me here?"

Huo Yunchen raised his eyebrows and gave a meaningful smile, "Madam, do you believe me so much?"

Others didn't see it, but he saw it clearly.

This box of jade is worth at least hundreds of millions.

Yan Li smiled lightly, noticing Yan Shu's jealous gaze, and deliberately leaned towards the man, "Of course I believe it, after all, we are husband and wife."

Huo Yunchen didn't notice her intention to come closer, so he just let her do it.

He took the box and asked Li Liang to send it to Mr. Huo.

Fu Liqiang held up his smile and smiled coquettishly at everyone, "Tonight is a cocktail party. Everyone should eat and drink well. The most important thing is to be happy."

Seeing that there was nothing interesting to watch, the onlookers dispersed.

Huo Yunchen glanced at the venue, and when he stood up, he did not forget to leave a sentence, "Stay there."

Yan Li looked at the man whose attitude changed so quickly. He hummed twice, took the plate and prepared to get the fruit.

Acting for so long is exhausting.

"My sister really opened my eyes today!"
