Their relationship deepened even further.

The conflict with his family had also been resolved.

During the boat trip, Nong Qingying learned that her father agreed to the move. She clung to Su Yehao's arm, showering him with praise.

Moving wasn't the main point.

The point was that it allowed her to say goodbye to the past.

She no longer had to worry about whether her actions would affect her family in Snakehead Village. She had secretly married into a wealthy family, and rumors of "gold-digging" and "jinxing" had plagued her, making her extremely annoyed by the whispers behind her back.

When you truly like someone, it shows in your eyes.

While Nong Qingying's parents were busy, they noticed that their daughter was constantly clinging to Su Yehao's arm. They immediately realized that she had completely fallen.

Her father was secretly worried, feeling that a wealthy young master like Su Yehao couldn't be trusted. But he couldn't say much, as his relationship with his daughter had just been repaired, and he didn't want to cause another conflict.

Besides, she had already married once without proper ceremony... So he decided not to interfere.

...

The process of trawling for fish was more complicated than Su Yehao imagined.

Trawl warp length tension meters, radar buoys, and other equipment required experienced crew members to operate, and since it was a new boat, constant adjustments were needed.

It wasn't until noon that they hauled up a batch of fish, mainly pomfrets.

There were also a few yellow croakers mixed in, glistening gold, which Nong Qingying's mother immediately took to cook.

The crew members considered it a good omen and continued searching for yellow croaker schools nearby, but unfortunately, they couldn't find any even by dinnertime.

——————————————

That evening.

Su Yehao went to the Tang family's old house on Mount Butler Road.

This place was equally valuable, close to Central, and a well-established wealthy area filled with villas.

His mother sat lazily on the sofa, watching TV and complaining, "You disappeared after dinner the other night. I called you in the morning, but no one answered. I called again in the afternoon, and still no one answered. I almost thought something happened to you."

His clothes smelled of fish from the daytime, so Su Yehao went to the mall to buy a new outfit before coming.

As for Nong Qingying, he couldn't bring her to meet his family in the short term. She had already gone to the yacht, planning to return to Casino, 1997 tonight.

At this moment.

Su Yehao comforted her, saying, "I went out to sea with friends. There's no signal at sea. I'm old enough; I can't get lost. I'll make time to spend time with you after I finish my exams."

"I was planning to arrange for you to meet the school board members of Hong Kong University or other universities, but I'll handle it myself."

Tang's mother knew her son's grades and no longer had any hope. Changing the subject, she continued:

"I'll take care of transferring the house to your name. Live there sometimes, or it'll feel empty. I heard your father is busy with a big business deal lately? He's pulling people in as partners, even in Hong Kong. Some friends asked me, and that's how I found out."

She mentioned several things in a row. Su Yehao was most concerned about his father's business and decisively said:

"The mainland's economy has been developing rapidly in recent years, so it's good for him to acquire land there. Shenzhen is one of the special economic zones and a well-known place to make money, with its influence covering hundreds of millions of people in the surrounding area. This business definitely has potential."

Grandpa Tang happened to come over, sitting in a wheelchair pushed by a young nurse.

Hearing Su Yehao's words, Grandpa Tang said, "Many friends have been acquiring land in the mainland recently, and they've made a lot of money. If he wants to do it, let him. We won't talk about him in this house. Let's go, grandson, I'll show you my collection of treasures. When I'm gone someday, they'll be passed on to you."

"Treasures? Really?"

"Would I lie to you? Real heirlooms, but not directly to you. They're temporarily kept for your future son with the Tang surname."

Grandpa Tang laughed after saying that, and continued:

"You young people don't know how to appreciate them yet. One of my friends originally had a Song Dynasty painting, but his grandson secretly took it and sold it. A Malaysian businessman bought it at a low price, and he almost ended up in the hospital."

A dedicated elevator was installed in the house.

Taking the elevator to the third floor of the old house, they saw a curio cabinet in the study, with a total of twelve compartments, protected by a thick layer of bulletproof glass.

On this cabinet, there were twelve old items, exquisite and charming under the dim yellow light.

Su Yehao approached and examined them, and they were a bronze ding (ancient cooking vessel), a jade seal, a bronze chime bell, a gilded Buddha statue, and a sword… the rest were all porcelain.

He didn't have the eye to appreciate them, only knowing that they all looked good.

Grandpa Tang said with a smile:

"Our family made its fortune relatively early. Years ago, many people brought treasures to Hong Kong to sell. I didn't like ordinary goods, only the fine pieces that could enter auctions. Every time I came across something better, I'd pick one to take away and put the new one on this cabinet, and over time, it became what it is now. Beautiful, right? This is also part of my legacy, so it depends on whether you have the ability to keep it safe."

Su Yehao admired each item, saying, "Grandpa, you're blessed with good fortune and will live a long life. This is just the beginning. When I'm fifty, it won't be too late for you to hand these over to me in person, but… do you still have the ones you淘汰 tao tai (eliminated) before? I'd like to take some to decorate the house you gave me."

He immediately understood that this grandson was eyeing his things again, never refusing anything and always taking advantage.

"You're really quick-witted, even thinking about the ones I eliminated. They're still valuable and stored in the bank vault."

Grandpa Tang told him:

"In the past, going to buy things with tens of thousands of dollars was enough, but now even millions might not be enough to bid. The prices of old objects rise every year. The money isn't important; the key is that the sense of history is fascinating. For example, the Ming Dynasty jade seal in the second compartment might have even been played with by the emperor back then."

Su Yehao noticed the sense of history, but the items were still bundles of banknotes in his eyes.

Thinking of appeasing Grandpa, Su Yehao interjected, "You can rest assured letting me keep them. Anyway, our family doesn't lack money, so there's no need to sell them. When I make a lot of money someday, I'll get all sorts of things, like Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain jars, chicken cups, works by Zhang Daqian, and Qi Baishi."

"... I've met Zhang Daqian. Is he that famous? Even an amateur like you knows him? Speaking of Chenghua Doucai chicken cups, I've also seen them. They're just small teacups. A friend of mine has one. My Western Zhou bronze ding has more than a dozen inscriptions on it; isn't it better?"

After listening to Grandpa Tang, Su Yehao was slightly speechless.

The two were really not on the same level.

Grandpa's life experience and vision were much richer than his own.

Having often heard the name Zhang Daqian, Su Yehao subconsciously forgot that he was a modern figure, so it was not strange that Grandpa had met him. And the reason why chicken cups were so famous was also due to some sky-high hype. These days, they were only considered精品 jing pin (fine pieces).

Su Yehao sighed silently, feeling like a nouveau riche encountering a true magnate, instantly reduced to ashes by a few words from Grandpa.
