1194 Money That Came From Sudden Riches

Zhai Sheng looked at Qiao Nan dotingly. “You’re concerned about whether Old Master Zhai and your father-in-law will lose their temper? You should think about how to explain to Chief Zhu when he finds out about this.” Chief Zhu also treated Qiao Nan like his own daughter.

The family had three babies all at once. Everyone was red with envy and said that Nan Nan had given birth to too many babies.

However, Zhai Sheng was well aware that these three babies were not enough to share between these old folks. They even had to compete with one another until they broke their heads.

Qiao Nan relaxed and leaned backward on the seat “I’m not as concerned about G.o.dfather. Don’t forget that he still has to be a grandfather in the future. When Zhu Baoguo and s.h.i.+ Qing are married, their children’s names will definitely be given by him.” Her master was not like her G.o.dfather. He no longer had such an opportunity.

However, her G.o.dfather would definitely feel angry about this. When the time came, she would simply bring the three babies over to appease their maternal grandfather.

After having babies, Qiao Nan was pleasantly surprised to find a new function of her children: fire extinguisher.

Zhai Sheng smiled. “If the three babies know that you think that way, don’t you think they will blame you in the future?” Nan Nan had thought it out so well. She would leave it to the three babies to resolve every situation and trouble that they encountered. The three babies were only more than two months old and still drinking milk.

No matter what, the triplets of the Zhai family finally had names.

In less than a month after the names of the three babies were decided, Lin Yuankang brought three little boxes over to the Zhai family and said that they were gifts for the children.

Qiao Nan was taken aback when she opened them. “Jade?”

The jades in the three boxes looked watery and translucent. Qiao Nan was not an expert in this area. Judging from the looks, sizes, and engravings, Qiao Nan knew that the little jade pendants in her hands were very valuable.

Qiao Nan was poor and did not play with such items. However, there would always be one or two people around her who were interested in such things.

Under their influence, Qiao Nan was very clear that the prices of these items would rise very quickly in a few years. The price would only go crazier in the future.

If she did not remember it wrongly, she once watched some news about someone gambling on jade in Yunnan.

One of the tourists accidentally broke open a piece of jade which was worth 280,000 yuan.

Qiao Nan dared to bet that the quality of the three jade pendants given by her master to the three children looked much better than the one that she saw in the news. “Master, don’t tell me these three pieces of jade are the legendary gla.s.s species?”

“Oh, you can tell? Do you have some knowledge of jade too?” Lin Yuankang’s eyes lit up. He did not expect that his little disciple was a child who knew what good stuff was. “Yes, this is the gla.s.s species, and they are top-grade ones.”

Qiao Nan’s heart trembled. “Gla.s.s species?!” These three pieces of items were really too valuable. Ten years later, they needed to use more than a million or tens of million yuan to talk about the prices. “This should not be emerald imperial jade, right?” If it was top-grade gla.s.s species emerald imperial jade, and such a huge piece, wasn’t the value going to be in billions?

Qiao Nan heard from the colleague who was very interested in jade that just a small piece of top-grade gla.s.s species emerald imperial jade on a ring was worth tens of millions of yuan.

The jades in her hands could make a few rings.

Elder Lin was really quite surprised that his little disciple knew quite a lot about jade. “People nowadays prefer the white jades from Xin Jiang. In comparison, the market for jade is a little poorer. However, I just praised you for having a little knowledge and you have now become color-blind. How can this be emerald imperial jade? The color of emerald imperial jade is much more beautiful than this.”

Facing his disciple whom he had just deemed ‘color-blind’, Elder Lin took his hat off to her. “Right, how did you know so much about this?” He initially thought that his little disciple most likely would not recognize what these items were when he took them out.

“I’ve heard someone mention it before.”

“Who?”

“Uh… That person is very interested in jade and finds jade beautiful. Although he is poor, he is willing to do so research. He has talked a lot about it, so I gained a little knowledge. Master, the three babies are still so small. Don’t you think you have gone a little overboard to give them these jades?” The three babies were not even four months old. After having these jade pendants, they would become wealthier than many people.

They would ‘take over’ even her, their mother. She did not even have a chance to win them.

Facing the children who were wealthier than her, Qiao Nan felt a little jealous. She was the poorest one in the whole family.

“…” Miao Jing did not speak. She agreed with Qiao Nan and felt that Elder Lin had gone a little overboard in giving such items.

The Zhai family did not lack these little items for the three children. However, the Zhai family would also not casually take out items with such value. She could not quite accept Elder Lin’s generosity toward the children.

“Don’t worry. To me, these three pieces of jade won’t cost me a bomb. I didn’t spend much on them,” Elder Lin said complacently. “I have a lot of good stuff in my hands and have to put them away properly. I will leave them for San Bao’s dowry when she grows up.” He was the one who named San Bao. In addition, she was the only little girl. Hence, Elder Lin doted very much on San Bao.

“Master…” Qiao Nan lifted the corners of her lips. “You can’t boast in this way. Right, even though you really have a lot of them, you can’t just give them out in this manner.”

Those were worth millions and tens of millions. He even gave out three pieces at once. Qiao Nan would feel very guilty of accepting them.

“They are not for you. Why are you so naggy? The three babies are still so young. I am pa.s.sing these items to you because you are their mother so that you can temporarily safeguard them on their behalf. You have to give them to the three babies when they grow up. Otherwise, I will definitely not let you off.” Goodness, sometimes, it was quite tiring to have a little disciple who was too honest and unwilling to take advantage of him.

She was so young, yet so inflexible. This was too troubling.

Zhai Hua was sitting beside Qiao Nan. She stuffed San Bao into Elder Lin’s arms without any reservation. “Elder Lin, I heard that you gambled on jade when you were in your thirties or forties. The price of the jade even skyrocketed. Don’t tell me this is true?”

Elder Lin lifted his chin proudly. “Of course it’s true. That piece of jade which price skyrocketed—aren’t you looking at it now?”

Elder Lin was not someone who liked gambling. At that time, he happened to be on an overseas trip to Yunnan and came into contact with jade gambling. Initially, Elder Lin did not wish to partic.i.p.ate as he was not that interested in jades. However, someone dragged him along and insisted that he try it once.

To put it bluntly, that person wished to become closer to Elder Lin with jade gambling so that he could bribe the latter.

That man noticed that Elder Lin seemed to have his eyes on a piece of stone. He took a few more glances at it. Without a word, that man bought the stone and gave it to Elder Lin.
