Love You Till the End-Chapter 796 - 794: She Is a Fine Steed, the Old Man Is a Talent Scout

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Jin opened the door and stepped inside.

Her face had been wearing a smile, but upon seeing Wen Wan also in the room, her smile instantly froze.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly, concealing that fleeting change of expression before the old man could notice.

Ye Jin, as if nothing was amiss, first greeted Wen Wan with a "sister", then approached the old man and called out, "Dad."

The old man didn’t even lift his head, merely responding with a nonchalant hum, and then he spread out a piece of Xuan paper on the desk, picked up a brush, dipped it into the ink on the inkstone, and proceeded to write energetic and bold characters on the paper.

His indifference left Ye Jin feeling somewhat embarrassed, and in an attempt to ease the awkwardness, she quickly presented a small square box, saying with a smile, "Dad, here’s a small token for you to kindly accept."

The old man kept one hand pressing down on the Xuan paper and the other holding a brush, with no free hand to take the box, nor any intention to do so, saying with an indifferent tone, "Just put it down."

Ye Jin’s hand stiffened mid-air for a moment, and seeing such decisive rejection from the old man, she couldn’t say much more and simply placed the box on the desk, "I know you’ve always liked antiques, so I specially asked a friend to bring back an aged Jade Ring from abroad. It’s said to have been worn by some ancient emperor. It is exceptionally well preserved, the color is very translucent, and it has no flaws."

This time, Ye Jin had indeed spared no expense. In order to win the old man’s favor, she had Gu Liancheng contact an antiques expert abroad. Through several connections, she acquired the Jade Ring, spending over four hundred thousand.

For Ye Jin, over four hundred thousand was no small sum. Her monthly allowance was only tens of thousands, and although she was doing some small business, the income wasn’t much, so purchasing this gift had emptied her savings.

Despite the reluctance, the thought of possibly inheriting a large sum in the future made her feel it was worth it.

"Dad, you have a good chat, I’ll head down first."

Wen Wan was very tactful, feeling that her presence was superfluous, and intended to leave.

Hearing her voice, the old man finally lifted his head, "Go ahead."

Wen Wan nodded, turned around and left. As she reached the door, the old man’s deep voice came from behind her, "Remember what I told you just now."

Wen Wan paused, turned back, and said with a smile, "Rest assured."

The old man nodded with profound meaning, signaling that she could go now.

After Wen Wan left, she gently closed the door.

Once outside, she took a deep breath and a helpless smile appeared on her lips.

She reminisced about the past, all the events that had transpired.

She was born into a poor family, orphaned at a young age, with only herself to rely on. At the age of sixteen, her only grandmother also passed away, leaving her utterly alone.

Latterly, she worked hard in her studies and her job, establishing a company with her own abilities. When the company was first founded, it incurred significant losses, leading to a hefty debt to the bank.

Then, by a fortunate twist of fate, she had her first business cooperation with the old man. Perhaps seeing her capability, he invested a substantial amount of money into her company, and it was with this investment that she finally turned her fortunes around and expanded her business significantly.

She was a fine horse, and the old man was her Bole.

If not for him, perhaps she wouldn’t have married into the Shi Family, wouldn’t have two such excellent sons, and wouldn’t have made it to where she is today.
