Chapter 839: Presenting Treasures, Complete Control
Xu Family Hall.The doorman came again, and Mr. Xu flared up: "Tell Miss Su to get lost!"
The doorman took the money and did as told.
He braced himself and delivered the message.
Upon hearing it, Mr. Xu was suspicious, "How could this Miss Su know I have troubles?"
He didn’t dare to be negligent and asked, "Do you know the specific background of this Miss Su?"
Mrs. Xu reminded him, "I just handed over the business card."
Only then did Mr. Xu take a look, and he was dumbfounded: "It’s Bao Jingyan’s wife! Now we’ve offended someone important!"
He said, "Invite her for tea some other day and apologize."
Mrs. Xu was more perceptive than him.
She said, "So late, Miss Su surely wouldn’t come to our house without reason?"
She asked the doorman to repeat what he said earlier, and the doorman did.
Mrs. Xu became stern, scolding her husband: "You almost ruined our daughter’s life! This Miss Su can understand our intentions and must have a way to solve it."
Mr. Xu didn’t believe it.
Mrs. Xu had heard rumors about Su Ruanruan in B City and knew her capabilities.
She recounted them to her husband.
Mr. Xu, upon hearing, became restless, staring blankly at his wife: "So we’ve offended a big shot?"
Mrs. Xu nodded.
Mr. Xu then paced back and forth in the hall, after a few circles, he stopped and ordered: "Prepare the car!"
Mrs. Xu got the confirmation.
Tears shone in her eyes, and she joyfully went to prepare a gift.
Once in the car, Mr. Xu said the gifts were too extravagant, and if this Miss Su wasn’t worth her salt, wouldn’t it be a waste?
Mrs. Xu cried sadly: "Your daughter’s future is at stake, and you as a father still worry about money!"
Mr. Xu embraced her shoulders and comforted her.
But in his heart, he still doubted Su Ruanruan’s abilities.
Being just 25, how could she be as shrewd and capable as those older women like Xishan!?
They arrived at the Bao Mansion.
Mr. Xu handed over his card respectfully, saying he wished to see Miss Su.
Yan Kuan held a grudge and intentionally said: "Miss Su is asleep, any matters can wait until tomorrow."
Mr. Xu quickly said: "Please inform Miss Su, my surname is Xu! My wife and I have come to seek advice from her."
Yan Kuan still didn’t move.
Mr. Xu, being stingy, had to reluctantly hand over some money.
Yan Kuan, feeling satisfied, let Mr. Xu wait in the dew and went back to report to the mansion.
A while later.
The villa lights came on, and there was movement.
Servants invited Mr. and Mrs. Xu inside.
Bao Jingyan was on a business trip, Su Ruanruan received them alone.
She had been wronged by the Xu family, and with a magical treasure in hand, she deliberately held a higher posture.
Aunt Li made tea.
Su Ruanruan invited them for tea and small talk, implying forgetfulness about the troubling matters, remaining silent about them.
Mr. Xu was tormented by her for half a day.
He finally couldn’t hold back: "Miss Su, please speak straightforwardly?"
Su Ruanruan smiled.
She stopped being secretive and told Yan Kuan: "Go upstairs and bring down the magical treasure I brought yesterday!"
Mr. Xu, hearing this, became uneasy.
Magical treasure?
Is this Miss Su reliable?
Su Ruanruan sipped her tea smilingly.
Aunt Li stood by her side, snorting: Ha, let’s see this Xu family’s eyes shocked later!
Shortly after, Yan Kuan placed a box embossed with dragons and phoenixes on the coffee table.
Mr. and Mrs. Xu stared wide-eyed.
Dragon... Dragon’s aura?
Su Ruanruan stood up, glanced lightly at the Xu couple, then opened the box.
Inside was a dragon and phoenix wedding ceremonial dress.
On it, pressed a pure gold phoenix crown, with a small fist-sized blood-red pigeon egg in its mouth, the tail adorned with multicolored gems.
Mr. Xu was stunned.
He couldn’t help but tremble as he reached to touch it.
Su Ruanruan calmly spoke: "This phoenix crown belonged to Concubine Li, a royal item, doesn’t this count as a magical treasure? And this ceremonial dress was crafted by the royal Yan Family master, doesn’t it count as imbued with dragon’s aura?"
"It does, it does." Mr. Xu was dazzled, scrutinizing it for quite a while.
He negotiated with Su Ruanruan: "Please Miss Su, let go of it, I’m willing to pay any price."
