Chapter 1463: Luring the Enemy into the Jar 2

~8 min read 1,411 words

Cui Xiaoqian came out with Moli, wearing very light makeup.

She understood not only men but also women, knowing that few elders would like their son's girlfriend to be heavily made up.

She also knew that no elder would want their son's girlfriend to be dating their son only because she had her eyes on their family's money!

So, all along the way, she thought about how to make the request for three million yuan sound reasonable; the excuse of buying a house definitely could not be used anymore.

Seeing her struggling, Moli said considerately, "If you're afraid, you don't have to see my mom this time; I'll go myself."

Cui Xiaoqian was uneasy; she was afraid Moli wouldn't speak well to his mother and would mess things up, but she said something very sweet: "No, we are one; no matter what, we must be together and cannot be separated."

Just like that, she came along. Before meeting, she had been prepared to be humiliated, but the preparation turned out to be unnecessary; Moli's mother was very kind and treated her very well.

Jian Yixin was between the two, holding her son with one hand and Cui Xiaoqian with the other.

She praised Cui Xiaoqian endlessly, and the smile on her face never faded.

A table full of delicacies was laid out; it was a bit wasteful for three people to eat, but Jian Yixin said it didn't matter, as it was the first time meeting her future daughter-in-law today, so a lavish meal was appropriate.

During the meal, Jian Yixin took out an exquisite jewelry box; when opened, a glittering gold necklace lay inside.

The necklace was very thick, and Cui Xiaoqian only needed to glance at it with the corner of her eye to judge that this necklace was at least over one hundred grams!

The current gold price at jewelry stores is four hundred yuan per gram, not including the processing fee, which means this necklace costs at least forty to fifty thousand yuan.

She calculated secretly in her heart, and the necklace worth forty or fifty thousand was already handed to her. Jian Yixin said, "Xiaoqian, it's our first meeting today. By rights, I should have given you a decent gift, but time was too rushed so I didn't prepare one. I just bought one at the store; if you don't mind, please accept it."

"No, no, no, I can't take it. Auntie, you are too polite, this gift is too valuable..." Cui Xiaoqian was screaming wildly in her heart: Take it, take it, take it!

But on the surface, she still feigned refusal: No!

Moli smiled and said, "Xiaoqian, accept it; this is my mom's kind intention."

She looked troubled and whispered, "I also know the principle that one should not refuse a gift from an elder, but... this gift is too valuable, I really cannot take it."

"Auntie, I am dating Moli because I like him. I really didn't expect your family to be so wealthy. My family's situation is poor; we are not a match in social status, and I am not worthy of Moli..."

As she spoke, her tears fell down in torrents.

Moli was panicked and could no longer care about table etiquette; he hurriedly went around his mother to comfort his girlfriend.

He wiped her tears and coaxed her, saying that his family valued her as a person and didn't care about social status...

Seeing her son being led around by the nose by a green tea, Jian Yixin felt her lungs were about to explode with anger.

But on the surface, she still had to accompany her to keep acting out the play.

"Good girl, don't cry. Why are you crying for no reason? Moli is right; our family doesn't care about social status; the main thing is whether a person is good or not."

"Moli, put the necklace on Xiaoqian. This girl is truly silly; if it were someone else, wouldn't they be happy to put it away immediately? She doesn't even want it. There are fewer and fewer girls nowadays who can treat money like dirt..."

Cui Xiaoqian had played her part well, so naturally, she accepted the necklace with feigned reluctance.

The heavy feeling on her neck felt really good.

Without waiting for Cui Xiaoqian to lead the way, Jian Yixin took the initiative to bring up the topic of the house: "Xiaoqian, I heard Moli wants to buy a house for your family. Is that true?"

Cui Xiaoqian had already thought of her excuse.

She replied, "Auntie, you misunderstood. It's not buying a house for our family; it's that Moli wants to buy a house and let my parents live in it temporarily. The property deed will be in Moli's name; the house has nothing to do with our family..."

Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Jian Yixin: "What kind of talk is that? Why should it be in Moli's name if it's buying a house for your family? There's no need; just put it in your name, or your parents' names, either is fine."

Cui Xiaoqian:...

Moli:...

Neither of them expected her to say that.

"Mom, are you serious?" Moli was pleasantly surprised. Originally, he hadn't intended to put his own name on the deed; Xiaoqian only wanted to sell her old family home for his sake, and her mother had even gotten sick and hospitalized because of it.

If he put his own name on the deed, he would feel too guilty toward his girlfriend.

"Of course I'm serious. You child, I don't even manage so many things at my company, do you think I would come here specifically to joke with you?"

Jian Yixin clapped her hands and stood up: "Are you both finished eating? If you're finished, let's go."

Cui Xiaoqian gave Moli a look, so Moli reminded his mother: "Mom, the money for the house..."

"We are going to Xiaoqian's hometown right now to buy a house for her family!"

Cui Xiaoqian: "What? You are going to my hometown?" Her face turned deathly pale in an instant.

No, she absolutely could not let them go there. If they went to her hometown, Moli would definitely break up with her!

Jian Yixin said, "That's right. I have friends in your hometown; there will be many discounts for buying a house. The best location, the best layout, fine decoration, convenient transportation, move in with just your bags..."

"Your parents are currently out on the street; you can't let them sleep on the road in this weather. It wasn't easy for your parents to raise you; this matter must be handled urgently, the sooner the better."

Moli was very moved; he hugged his mother tightly and praised her as the most understanding mother in the world!

He even said something he had never said before.

Moli said, "Mom, you are my idol, you are my role model!"

From childhood to adulthood, this child was obedient, but he had never said anything like "Mom is my role model."

Jian Yixin now felt that the idea Shi Youxuan came up with was truly great; this trick of luring the enemy into the jar was simply brilliant!

The idea was brilliant, but it also required a good performer.

"Good son, Mom is very happy to be your role model. In the future, I will continue to work hard to be the best mother."

The mother and son were being affectionate here, while Cui Xiaoqian was so anxious she almost fainted.

Her brain was "buzzing" now, but she couldn't think of a single idea.

"Let's go, Xiaoqian. What's wrong with you? Are you dizzy with happiness?"

Moli went to pull her, and she had a flash of inspiration; she closed her eyes and leaned backward...

"Xiaoqian, Xiaoqian, wake up. Don't scare me, what's wrong with you?"

Jian Yixin pushed her son aside: "You call 120, let me see what's wrong with her."

When Jian Yixin was in college, she studied clinical medicine. Although she didn't become a doctor later, she could tell the difference between a real faint and a fake one.

She only needed one look to conclude—it was faked!

Feeling guilty, I suppose.

But she did not expose Cui Xiaoqian; instead, she "played along" with her performance.

"Son, Xiao Qian's complexion is poor. In this condition, it is very easy to have a cerebral hemorrhage; she must be sent to the hospital."
