BXBX NOVEL Chapter 58 - Ah Cai
Chapter 58: 58. Ah Cai
Xiao Chi arrived with Wan Wan, and He Yi let Wan Wan greet all the elders present. Then, she pointed at Baby and introduced, “This is Uncle Yi’s son, Baby. You can be good friends.”
Yi Liangze quickly corrected, “Baby is your elder brother, Wan Wan. You have to call him elder brother.”
Wan Wan looked at the Yi father and son timidly and didn’t say anything.
Baby walked over gracefully and handed over the greeting gift. “Wan Wan, this is for you!”
A high-class red Jade pendant was strung with red rope and agate beads, shining with a lustrous and beautiful light. The word “XI” was engraved on it. The font was like a flying dragon and dancing phoenix as if it had penetrated the nine heavens. The imposing manner was extraordinary, and one look was enough to tell that it was written by a famous artist.
Wan Wan liked red from a young age. When she saw such a beautiful red blood jade, she could not help taking a few more glances at it.
Baby stuffed the Jade pendant into her hands and said generously, “Great-grandfather gave me a total of five pieces of red Jade. I gave Daddy one piece, and you and Auntie He each got one piece.”
“Mommy also has one.” Wan Wan raised her pretty little face and finally thanked him timidly. “Thank you.”
“Wan Wan, call me big brother. Daddy said that we will be a family from now on.” Baby said expectantly.
Wan Wan only pursed her lips. Although she accepted Baby’s greeting gift, she still did not call him big brother.
He Yi looked at Baby’s anxious look and laughed. She smiled and advised, “Wan Wan, you can call him big brother!”
Wan Wan thought for a moment and said in a mosquito-like voice, “Big brother Baby.”
That worked too. Baby nodded his head in satisfaction and patted his chest proudly. “I’ll protect you from now on!”
Seeing that his son had successfully recognized his sister, Yi Liangze quickly struck while the iron was hot. “Wan Wan, call me Daddy!”
This time, Wan Wan refused no matter what. She shook her head like a fan. “You’re Uncle Yi!”
Uncle is uncle, father is father. This should not be confused. Wan Wan was a very principled child!
“Little girl, you’re quite stubborn!” Yi Liangze gently pinched Wan Wan’s cheek and carried her up. “The Big Bad Wolf is going to eat Little Red Riding Hood!”
Wan Wan was not afraid. On the contrary, she smiled, revealing her fine teeth. She trusted Yi Liangze very much. She knew that he was teasing her and did not think that he would hurt her.
When He Yi saw Yi Liangze carrying Wan Wan out, she turned around and gave a few instructions to Ji Xueshan who was on the hospital bed. Then, she also took Baby out.

When Wei Jiameng returned to the hospital room, she saw Ji Xueshan standing up and moving the flower basket in front of her. She smiled and asked, “You prefer the flower basket that young master Yi sent!”
Ji Xueshan turned her head and saw Wei Jiameng coming over. She said embarrassedly, “Why didn’t you go and play with them?”
“The four of them are going out to play together. Why should I go and join in the fun!” Wei Jiameng was immediately diverted from the topic, she said excitedly, “It seems that young master Yi is serious this time. He Yi is going to be a bride-to-be. I told you. She is so beautiful, smart, and capable. She will have a good home. As expected, He Yi is like a blooming flower, attracting young master Yi, this super butterfly...”
“Tell me, what does young master Yi like about sister He?” Ji Xueshan was deep in thought. “She is very beautiful, but there are more beautiful and younger girls than her. Smart and capable... that Yu Shujun is not inferior to her! Moreover... She has Chu Tianyi’s Child.”
“Maybe this is fate!” Wei Jiameng concluded and said happily, “He Yi has a good home now. Ge Ge and I don’t have to worry anymore!”
Ji Xueshan could not help laughing. “You plan to have He Yi take care of you for the rest of your life?”
“She promised to have me!” Wei Jiameng shrugged, her watery eyes flashing with dreams. “With someone putting up with me spoiling me, all to do is eat, drink, and have fun every day. How happy that would be!”
“Oh my God, so your life’s goal is to be a rice weevil?” Ji Xueshan expressed her disagreement. She knew that it wouldn’t be useful to continue discussing this topic with Wei Jiameng, so she asked about another matter. “Chu Tianyi’s thumb tendon was cut off by someone. This is a little strange.”
Wei Jiameng clapped her hands, it saved her the trouble. “After you were sent to the hospital yesterday, Master Yi discovered that He Yi’s left thumb tendon was cut off. When he asked her about it, she said that it was cut off in prison. At that time, I saw that his expression was very ugly, and his eyes were very frightening. I didn’t expect Chu Tianyi to meet the same fate today. Do you think it’s a coincidence or... an accident?”
Ji Xueshan immediately frowned and asserted, “It’s not a coincidence. Young master Yi must be involved in what happened to Chu Tianyi!”
“Aiyo,” Wei Jiameng crossed her arms and shivered. “If it was done by young master Yi, he’s ruthless!” After a pause, she opened her mouth sneakily. “But I like it.”
Ji Xueshan could not help smiling. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she decided against it and held it in.

In the luxurious business car with three rows and seven seats, Xiao Chi was driving, and the bodyguards were sitting in the passenger seat. Yi Liangze, Bao Bao, Wan Wan, and He Yi were all sitting in the back row. This was the request of Bao Bao – they had to sit together as a family.
The business car was very spacious. Four people were sitting in the back row, and the leather seats were soft and comfortable. It did not seem crowded. He Yi and Yi Liangze sat on the two seats by the window, and Wan Wan and Bao Bao sat in the middle.
“Aunty He, this ‘Shou’ is for you. ‘Xi’ is for Wan Wan. I wear ‘Fu’, and ‘Lu’ is for Daddy. There’s also a ‘Cai’ left at home!” Bao Bao appeared to be handing out candy. Everyone had a red Jade pendant, and each Jade pendant had a different inscription. It was said that there were five of them, and they were respectively ‘Fu, Lu, Shou, Xi, Cai’.
He Yi put on the red jade pendant and looked up at Yi Liang who had nothing to do with it. “In recent years, red jade has been in high demand, but there is no market for it. It has been hyped up to a sky-high price, but it is hard to find a high-quality jade. “Every piece of red jade here has a rare red color. The estimated value of each piece is at least ten million. Moreover, the knife skills are exquisite, so it should be the work of a famous master. The physical value and artistic value have already exceeded the scope that most people can bear. It’s not an exaggeration to say that the five pieces of red Jade together can be said to be priceless.”
Yi Liangze was a little surprised and said, “I didn’t expect you to be so knowledgeable about Jade.”
He Yi sighed helplessly, “How can Wan Wan and I accept such a generous gift?”
Bao Bao was a child. He only felt that the jade was beautiful and that he had obtained so much at once, so he generously took it out and distributed it like candy. However, He Yi could not accept it as a piece of candy. That was too thick-skinned.
“These five pieces of jade were passed down from the Yi family’s ancestors. Grandfather personally carved five jade pendants of different shapes. They were engraved with blessings, wealth, longevity, and wealth respectively, implying that the five blessings were for good luck. Because grandfather loved Baby, he gave all five blessings to him alone. I also got one because of you.” Yi Liangze pulled out his piece of jade from his collar, and said, “It’s better if Baby insists on sharing the good things with the family. The four of us will each get one piece, and there’s still one piece of ‘wealth’ left. Why don’t we have another baby after we get married? Let’s call him ‘Ah Cai’.”
