202: Didn't mention this part?

After catching up with Wan Yuanliang and having a pot of tea at Bowen Antique Shop,

seeing that enough time had passed, Ye Su finally stood up to say goodbye and drove toward Zijing Villa District.

After greeting the security guard at the gate, Ye Su successfully entered the villa district and drove toward Villa 18 according to his memory.

When Ye Su parked his car in the space outside the villa, Li Mengyao, having received the news in advance, was already at the door to welcome him.

Upon seeing Li Mengyao, Ye Su immediately put on an expression of shock:

"Miss Li actually came out to greet me personally. I am truly flattered!"

"Pfft—"

Li Mengyao was first amused by Ye Su's goofy act, but immediately tightened her face. After checking her watch, she looked up and stared at him:

"It's past five. You're quite punctual, aren't you? You arrived right on time again, didn't you?"

"Hehe."

Unable to bluff his way through, Ye Su could only offer an awkward yet polite smile:

"It's just that I had something to do. I sat at Bowen Antique Shop for a while, had a pot of tea, and then rushed over."

Li Mengyao stared at Ye Su's face for a while, unable to tell if he was making excuses, and finally gave up:

"Forget it, let's go in. My mom has been nagging inside for a long time, asking why you haven't arrived yet."

"Alright, let's go."

Successfully brushing off the matter of arriving right on time, Ye Su lifted his foot, about to walk into the villa.

Unexpectedly, Li Mengyao turned around and happened to hook her arm around Ye Su's.

The sudden, massive impact made even Ye Su, who was used to big scenes, feel a flutter in his heart, and his gaze followed to land on the object pressing against his arm.

Good heavens!

Ye Su exclaimed internally, good heavens!

No one said there was a bonus stage before!

Turning her head, Li Mengyao saw the expression of massive shock on Ye Su's face, and a sense of triumph welled up in her heart.

But realizing her own proactive behavior, and being stared at so closely by Ye Su, Li Mengyao couldn't help but feel her pretty face flush. Flustered and angry, she pinched Ye Su's arm hard.

"Ah!"

Ye Su felt the pain, and the arm Li Mengyao was holding couldn't help but jerk, giving them both an instant feeling of electric shock throughout their bodies.

Li Mengyao felt like steam was about to puff out from the top of her head, just like a steam train.

Hurriedly turning her head forward, Li Mengyao explained in a cover-up attempt:

"I'm just doing this for show, for my parents to see. Don't overthink it, and don't let your eyes wander!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Su's inner grievance appeared directly on his face:

You suddenly did that; any normal man would find it hard not to look subconsciously!

His arm was aching from Li Mengyao's pinch, and Ye Su really wanted to rub it, but right next to the pinched area was [Six Months Imprisonment], so Ye Su dared not move at all.

Seeing Ye Su's embarrassed and aggrieved look, Li Mengyao couldn't help but smile again.

As her delicate body trembled, it only made Ye Su suffer even more.

Of course, mixed in with it was a certain indescribable enjoyment.

"You got lucky, let's go."

Li Mengyao gave a hard tug, and Ye Su, like a marionette, was dragged into the villa by Li Mengyao.

"Dad, Mom, Ye Su is here."

After being released by Li Mengyao, Ye Su actually felt a bit unsatisfied, but he reacted quickly and greeted the two people in the living room:

"Hello Auntie, hello Uncle."

Seeing Ye Su enter the door with her daughter on his arm, looking exactly like a [Talented Man and Beautiful Woman] scene, Wang Lijuan immediately showed a delighted expression on her face:

"Xiao Su is here, come in and sit."

Li Shanhai also smiled kindly at Ye Su, clearly even more enthusiastic than when he first visited: "Xiao Su is here."

The enthusiastic attitude of Li Shanhai and his wife made Ye Su feel immense pressure.

Even after sitting down, Ye Su still appeared somewhat uneasy.

And as soon as Ye Su sat down, Wang Lijuan complained:

"Xiao Su, it's been a while since you've visited our home, hasn't it?"

At this moment, Ye Su certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to say something silly like [Didn't I just come over two weeks ago?]:

"Yes, I've been quite busy recently. I also remember it's been a long time since I came over. It just so happens I have time tonight, so I thought I'd come over for a meal and disturb you, Uncle and Auntie."

"You child, what are you saying? If you want to come, you can come every day. Why talk about disturbing us?"

"Exactly, during the time you haven't been here, your Auntie has often talked about you."

"Haha, since Uncle and Auntie have said so, I will come more often when I have time in the future."

"That would be great." Wang Lijuan felt very gratified: "Whenever you want to come over, just tell Mengyao, so she can have the kitchen prepare a few more dishes."

Ye Su nodded obediently: "Okay, I definitely will."

"By the way." Finally finding an opportunity, Li Shanhai spoke up:

"Uncle hasn't properly thanked you yet for gifting Poyun Group the two big gifts: the [Fei Wenyuan Silver Shop] design drawings and the meteorite."

Ye Su smiled modestly: "Uncle, you're being too serious. Those two things, if I kept them, I would just sell them anyway. It's good that you can use them now."

"It's more than just being able to use them; it's a huge help to Poyun Group."

Mentioning the design drawings and the meteorite, Li Shanhai couldn't help but be excited, saying confidently:

"I have already planned to use the meteorite on one of the necklaces and use other gemstones as accents. As for the small pieces cut off, they can be made into a matching pair of earrings separately.

Wait until the Shencheng International Jewelry Exhibition in September, and then take this set of jewelry to participate in the exhibition. It will definitely shine brightly then!"

Ye Su did not doubt the confidence Li Shanhai displayed.

The price of that meteorite might not be too high.

But its rarity and non-replicability have already destined that the necklace made with the meteorite will become the focus of attention in the jewelry world.

One can imagine that once the necklace is exposed to the heat of the [Chinese Jewelry Capital], the Shencheng International Jewelry Exhibition, it will definitely be crazily snapped up by the upper class.

Along with the remaining twenty-three pieces of jewelry, they can also attract attention, and their prices will rise even further.

Ye Su discovered that although he gave the meteorite to Li Mengyao for free,

unintentionally, it seemed to have increased the profit of those twenty-four pieces of jewelry, and also caused the price of his contract to rise accordingly.

It might even turn out that the 600,000 he lost by giving away the meteorite for free could come back to him in this way, and he also got the favor of gifting the meteorite for free.

"Alright, then I wish Poyun Group success in advance, and may you outshine everyone at the Shencheng International Jewelry Exhibition."

"Hahaha—" Li Shanhai laughed heartily: "Then I'll take your kind words."

Seeing her dad so happy, Li Mengyao also laughed alongside Ye Su.

Only the "mother-in-law" Wang Lijuan said reproachfully:

"Xiao Su, you really are something. That meteorite is so valuable, you know that, so why did you just give it to Mengyao directly?

Anyway, it's all going to be used for company jewelry. You should have used the pretext of a sale and had Mengyao transfer a sum of money to you from the company's account.

As long as your intentions are clear, that's enough. Your career is still in its starting phase; having more funds will make your path smoother."
