My Life with Narration

Chapter 426 - 420: The Plan to Deal with Shen Yi

His mom, Zhou Hui, really had no other options, she had to give a return gift, right?

She was particularly fond of Shen Yi, plus the girl had left several million with her son, showing an amazing level of trust. That’s why she took out this bracelet; otherwise, this thing could only be handed to a daughter-in-law after an engagement.

After all, the breakup rate among young people is so high nowadays. What if they broke up? Would you keep the bracelet or not?

If you kept it, people would call you stingy, but if you didn’t, this thing is indeed an old family piece with other sentiments attached.

For all these reasons, his mom Zhou Hui decided to give it to him, hoping to let Shen Yi feel their family’s attitude.

Sure enough, the next morning, Shen Yi was admiring the Horseshoe Gold Bracelet on her wrist with great delight, never seeming to get enough of it.

"Brother, look, look, does this bracelet look good on me?" Shen Yi waved her hand in front of his face, feeling utterly ecstatic.

Given her status, she could easily afford a set of gold jewelry, not to mention a 90-gram bracelet, and could even buy a pair of pure gold handcuffs without a second thought. But how could something bought by herself hold the same meaning?

Moreover, young girls today rarely wear gold or silver jewelry, Shen Yi included. On her ears, wrists, fingers, and neck, she always wore nothing.

Not just her, even the landlady didn’t wear any gold or silver, not because they didn’t have it but because they chose not to wear it.

Of course, Tang Nan had some accessories, but none of them were gold.

So when Su Qing returned this morning and put a quaint-looking gold bracelet on her wrist, her first reaction was surprise. But she was delighted once she realized it was an old family heirloom.

How could she, being so smart, not guess what this was? This must be the so-called family heirloom.

When Su Qing explained that this bracelet was passed from his grandmother to his mom and that his mom had asked him to bring it back specifically for her, Shen Yi couldn’t help but beam with joy, unable to stop smiling.

The quaint-looking gold bracelet on Shen Yi’s slender, fair wrist didn’t look gaudy at all; instead, it had a unique beauty.

"Alright, alright, it looks good, happy now? But you know, you’ve managed to fool my mom into giving you something she had stashed away, something meant for her daughter-in-law, with a bunch of gifts. Now it’s up to you what to make of it!" Su Qing said, shaking his head with a light smile.

Hearing this, Shen Yi became even happier, sitting on the sofa, lifting her left hand to admire it, occasionally touching it.

The bracelet wasn’t particularly valuable, possibly worth just over forty thousand at current gold prices, and perhaps a bit more due to its collectible value. But to her, it didn’t make any difference, since not every old item is an antique or worth a lot, but the significance of this bracelet was indeed extraordinary.

This indicated that Su Qing’s parents approved of her, even though she didn’t expect the family to show such a clear stance less than a week after the two confirmed their relationship, which made her the happiest.

"Then I’ll just make sure not to disappoint Auntie, right? But still, I have to see how you behave. Otherwise, not only won’t you get me, but I also won’t return the bracelet to you, and you’ll just have to take a beating!" Shen Yi laughed even more joyfully.

Touching the bracelet on her hand, she could feel a sense of hope, and she had a vague anticipation in her heart.

After all, even though her career has long been successful, she’s not without parents. In the past two years, her parents, although not explicitly saying anything, have started to worry about her marriage.

But her capabilities were just too strong, and her independent spirit too intense; ordinary people couldn’t persuade her. Even if others wanted to introduce her to potential dates, it wasn’t easy.

Either they were too old or had poor conditions; she looked down upon those rich second-generation heirs who did nothing but rely on their parents.

Until she met Su Qing, the two crossed paths due to a car accident. During her most dangerous moment, Su Qing appeared, fitting the "hero saves the beauty" trope. Coupled with the voice she liked, Su Qing naturally gained her affection.

As they got to know each other better, she found Su Qing’s character and demeanor delightful, thinking he was quite interesting. Thus, she often teased him with a sisterly demeanor.

During this course, she discovered Su Qing’s extraordinary abilities, where in a short time, he could accumulate his first pot of gold through the stock market, make short videos, and even take a position at the police station. All these showed that Su Qing was definitely not someone who idled away his time.

Until her company encountered a crisis, Su Qing stood up, shielding her, solving her problems. From then on, her attitude towards Su Qing slowly began to shift from seeing him as a friend to viewing him as an attractive prospect.

"Alright, stop being so vain. Did you prepare everything yesterday? We’re going camping today!" Su Qing said, smiling.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi jumped off the sofa, hands on her hips: "Of course, rest assured. With Sister Qing’s RV camping equipment being so well-prepared, oh, and I bought couples’ outfits, you better change into them later!"

"You are fond of this? Su Qing was taken aback.

According to Shen Yi’s personality, she shouldn’t like the kid-like couples’ matching outfits, right?

"None of your business, just go put them on!

Quickly, the two went into the wardrobe room, where they stood before two sets of very conspicuous matching outfits — from top to bottom, inside to out, everything designed as a couple’s set, even the socks were matching.

Su Qing picked up a pair of boxers with Xi Yangyang printed on them and glanced at Shen Yi’s pile of clothes, noticing the Lazy Goat printed on her boxers, and his eye involuntarily twitched:

"Come on, tell me, it’s one thing to have matching outfits, but why this weird choice? Also, isn’t Xi Yangyang’s match Mei Yangyang? Are you crazy?"

Shen Yi shot him a sideways glance: "I admit, Sister is a weirdo, but listen, Xi Yangyang’s match should be Lazy Goat, Lazy Wang is the best!"

Su Qing: →_→

Honestly, as they grew more familiar with each other, he realized more and more that Shen Yi had quite the quirky side to her personality.

She was sharp and efficient outside, a cool domineering queen, but she had some peculiar interests like liking house dance, Lazy Goat’s antics, and she certainly didn’t seem like someone entirely serious.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and get changed!"

Su Qing: ...

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Jiangcheng, the landlady lay leisurely on a wicker chair in the yard, having sent her kid off to her mom, feeling completely liberated and making a video call.

"Sister Qing, I’ll arrive this afternoon. I can’t hold my temper anymore. What do you say, should we do something?" Tang Nan’s voice came through.

In response, the landlady’s lips curved into a smirk, "Of course we should, don’t worry. My car has a tracker; those two won’t escape my grasp!"

"That’s good then. This time, I’m taking photos...no, videos, to mock her to the max. Let’s see how she dares to act so cocky in the future!"

"Um...isn’t that a bit harsh? You might scare little Su, and men scare easily, you know!"

"Nonsense, it’s not like I’ve never seen a man before, who says they’re so fragile! This time I have to knock these two down a peg, especially Shen Yi — tricking a youngster, deceiving his feelings. An old cow munching young grass, encountering someone like her, I must condemn!"

"Alright then, let’s knock them down. Lately, Little Yi has been a bit too arrogant; it’s time for a lesson!"

[There are no rehearsals in your life, every day is live-streamed!]

Su Qing: ???
