Seeing no one else around, Tang Sili told the boss the truth, "Mr. Xiao’s injury is healing pretty fast; basically, he just needs a simple fixation."
In other words, there was no need to hang his arm in a sling.
"Hang it up just the sa," Xiao Yebai said without a second thought.
Zhang Sanfeng, who was sitting not far from them, turned his head back. As for his brother shalessly pretending to be pitiful, what else could he do but shrug and frown?
Tang Sili didn’t care anymore what the boss thought, just carried out the boss’s orders.
After Tang Sili finished with his arm, Xiao Yebai asked, "How did you get here?"
"I ca by car." Tang Sili answered, but upon receiving a cold stare from the boss, he quickly corrected himself, "One of my students ca here, so—"
Ou Yanan is here? Why?
Xiao Yebai waited a little longer.
Tang Sili, eting only his gaze, didn’t dare to hide anything and blurted out, "He fell down the stairs last ti and hit his head."
Hit his head, and then the muddled brain woke up, is that it? Xiao Yebai took that as the initial explanation.
Gu Nuan, sitting on the bed, was pinching a ring box between her fingertips.
It was an exquisite, octagonal-shaped ring box.
Looking at it in the sunlight streaming through the window, the material of this ring box was cloisonné enal, but the style was not European, it was like the kind that belonged to the ancient Chinese royal family. Gu Nuan recalled seeing similar items in so of the precious materials within the library’s collection.
But, the one in her hands was definitely not from the palace; if it were from the palace, it would be considered a cultural relic, which would be illegal.
On the other hand, there was a single character engraved at the bottom of the ring box.
At first glance, it was easy to assu it might be an English letter, since the custom of wedding rings ca from the West to the East. The sa logic applied to ring boxes.
Upon closer inspection, Gu Nuan concluded that it was not an English letter; it was a Chinese character. However, its font was odd, not the usual kind; maybe it was Bronze script, or Oracle Bone script, not even traditional Chinese characters.
This ring box was sothing he had just stuffed into her hands inside the cabin. She hadn’t opened it at that mont.
Because of this, he seed sowhat disappointed, as he told her, "Nuannuan, how can I play with you when you’re so smart?"
This man, by nature, had to indulge in play, or it seed all the cells in his body wouldn’t survive a day.
What earth-shattering item was inside the ring box, a surprise for her?
A diamond ring worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions?
No, there was nothing inside the ring box.
That’s why he said she wasn’t fooled, no fun.
Logically speaking, they had been married for two months now; there should’ve been a compensatory wedding ring, right? Yet, this man only gave her a ring box, not the ring itself.
An intriguing ring box. Gu Nuan conservatively estimated that this apparently aged and weathered ring box wouldn’t go for less than tens of thousands, possibly even hundreds of thousands or a million at auction.
Being rich was being capricious.
Gu Nuan curled the corners of her mouth.
Clearly, Yebai was in a good mood today, and as the Gu Family thought, the normally eccentric man talked quite a bit more today.
He and Zhang Sanfeng unabashedly brewed a pot of tea under the shade of a big tree, grabbed a handful of salty peanuts, and in front of Tang Sili spoke unrestrainedly, saying whatever ca to mind.
Listening to the two of them talk, Tang Sili beca increasingly startled.
The two discussed Changda’s recent headline-making news. As soone concerned with current events, Tang Sili knew that Changda’s ongoing battle for stock ownership had attracted the attention of varied and multiple levels of the financial market. Even people who didn’t own stocks were ignorantly asking: What does it an to acquire a company? Why could Changda be acquired?
