Chapter 1295: This Thing Is Too Precious
Nangong Xiao’s childlike remarks made everyone burst into laughter, and Nangong Jin also came over, intending to sit next to Di Jinxuan.
Who knew Li Hui would give him a glare and say, "Scram, is this a place for you to sit?"
Nangong Jin: "..."
Nangong Jin couldn’t help but want to complain, his mom was being way too sycophantic!
He was both amused and helpless; he was still a patient after all...
This treatment, boo hoo hoo, silently feeling sorry for himself for a second.
Although he wanted to complain, he obediently walked away and sat down with Nangong Tiancheng, the two men looking woefully pitiful.
Nangong Tiancheng patted his shoulder to console him, and Nangong Jin wordlessly glanced at his old man, the expressions on their faces screaming ’brothers in misery.’
The women were chatting happily on the central sofa, and Nangong Yue also came downstairs, greeting with politeness and friendliness, "Xuanxuan’s here."
"Big brother." Di Jinxuan politely responded, about to stand up.
Nangong Yue hurriedly said, "No need to stand, please sit, sit."
Speaking of which, he consciously sat down next to Nangong Jin and Nangong Tiancheng, pushed his glasses up his nose, and said with a gentle smile, "Xuanxuan, I don’t have anything good to give you, so I’ll just give you a few books."
Di Jinxuan: "...
Giving books!
Di Jinxuan felt powerless to complain, really wanting to say that she wasn’t doing well academically and was a bit of a book-dunce.
Besides, Di Jinxuan could tell at a glance that the books he was holding seemed dodgy – although they were wrapped in fine gold hardcovers, the pages inside were very old, not to mention somewhat tattered.
This...
But as Nangong Yue gave the books, the entire Nangong Family was astonished.
Seeing their surprised expressions, Di Jinxuan was a bit puzzled.
Nangong Lin was the first to exclaim, "Holy shit, big bro! You’ve really splurged!"
Nangong Jin, too, excitedly said, "Darling, darling, this is good stuff, take it quickly."
Di Jinxuan was still confused, and Nangong Ran also excitedly shouted, "Holy moly, big brother, you’re really going all out spending your savings on Xuanxuan."
Actually, the phrase ’going all out spending his savings’ was a joke – the price of the books Nangong Yue gave far exceeded the so-called pocket money.
And since Nangong Yue, being the eldest in the Nangong Family and a senior professor in the educational field, had long stopped using pocket money from home.
Di Jinxuan was puzzled and surprised, completely at a loss until Nangong Yue stuffed the books into her hands that she blankly accepted them.
Then, Nangong Yue said with a warm smile, "Third brother once saved my life, and in doing so, he nearly lost half of his own. These books are nothing compared to that."
Li Hui immediately clapped her hands, "My son, that’s noble!"
Nangong Jin felt a bit embarrassed and responded, "You’re my big brother, saving you is what I’m supposed to do, no need for formalities."
"No formalities." Nangong Yue smiled and said, "Giving books is also natural, after all, Xuanxuan is our little sister."
Seeing the family like this, Di Jinxuan roughly guessed that the books were valuable, possibly some sort of antiques, and quickly said, "Big brother, these are too valuable, I can’t accept them."
"If the boss gives them to you, you take them," Li Hui firmly stated, and then explained, "This is half a lifetime’s worth of passion from my eldest, from the ancient times, um, which era was it again?"
"These are personal poetry collections of poets from the Tang Dynasty, a mixed collection, including works by Li Bai, Bai Juyi, Liu Zongyuan, Wang Zhihuan, Chen Ziang, Li Shimin, Li Shangyin, and also some famous calligraphers in history."
Di Jinxuan was floored, my goodness, even Li Shimin made an appearance.
She was so scared that her hands were trembling; she felt even more that these items were too valuable!
This... these must be worth at least over five hundred million!
Moreover, it’s possible that these are priceless and can’t even be measured in money.
Nangong Yue’s generosity was incredible; this was truly going all out.
Di Jinxuan really dared not accept them. Although she knew that the Nangong Family had the means to obtain these items, given that the ancestors of the Nangong Family were high-ranking nobles, they were indeed precious.
