I'm back in 1990

Chapter 152: The Class Monitor Went Abroad?

The three of them had drunk almost half of the bottle of wine before Old Yu remembered to ask, "Xiao Chuan! How much is this wine? The packaging looks pretty nice, it must be expensive, right? How about three hundred yuan?"

Huang Xiaochuan laughed and said, "This bottle of wine is probably over two thousand yuan. If you like it, I'll buy you more in the future."

Old Yu and Yu Wei sobered up instantly. What is this thing that costs more than two thousand? It's just that the wine tastes a bit better and the bottle is a bit prettier and more exquisite. How can it sell for more than two thousand? Is it because it has a lot of foreign words on it?

Zheng Aiying's large gold bracelet was only worth a little over four thousand yuan, yet this bottle of wine was worth half a gold bracelet?

Just then, Zheng Aiying rushed back. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the three of them gathered around the bottle of wine, which made her feel heartbroken.

She went downstairs to Old Huang's house intending to return the gold bracelet to Zeng Lijuan, but Zeng Lijuan resolutely refused, saying that it was a gift from Zheng Aiying's son-in-law and that Zheng Aiying should keep it. The two argued for a long time, and Zeng Lijuan was so anxious that she was about to break off her friendship with Zheng Aiying. Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Zheng Aiying finally accepted it.

The two started chatting. Zheng Aiying praised Huang Xiaochuan extensively, but Zeng Lijuan was still not satisfied. She told Zheng Aiying about the drinking incident and asked her to judge whether the son was biased towards his father.

"A bottle of wine costs more than two thousand yuan?" When Zeng Lijuan complained about Huang Xiaochuan's extravagance, saying that a case of wine he brought for Lao Huang and Lao Yu could buy two of their gold bracelets, Zheng Aiying became uneasy, fearing that her husband might open the wine Xiaochuan had given him while drunk.

Sure enough, it was too late. The three of them had already drunk more than half of the bottle, and Yu Wei, that little brat, was still smacking his lips.

Zheng Aiying was furious! She went up and slapped Lao Yu and Xiao Yu once each, but spared Huang Xiaochuan. She couldn't bear to hit such a good son-in-law.

The wine was already opened; could she really let these three men vomit it up? Zheng Aiying had no choice but to let them be.

She stormed off to her room, and just then, Yu Min sneaked into Zheng Aiying's room like a mouse.

"Mom, let me try on your big gold bracelet."

Zheng Aiying handed the jewelry box to Yu Min with a disgruntled expression.

"Is it appropriate for a student to bring this to school?"

"I'm just trying it out. I don't want yours. Besides, Huang Xiaochuan probably bought one for my sister too. My sister's in school, so how come she can wear it?"

Zheng Aiying raised her hand as if to hit Yu Min: "You unlucky child, how come you're getting more and more unruly? You're still calling your brother-in-law by his name? From now on, he's your brother-in-law, you have to call him brother-in-law."

Yu Min was busy putting the bracelet on her wrist, not showing any sign of trying to avoid it, and said defiantly, "Oh! You want me to call him brother-in-law before we're even married? He's not even older than me. Even if he marries my sister, I won't call him brother-in-law. I'll just call him Huang Xiaochuan."

Enraged by these words, Zheng Aiying snatched the bracelet back and pointed to the door, saying, "Go back to your room! Seeing you makes me angry!"

Yu Min snorted and went back to her room with her head held high. When she passed by Huang Xiaochuan, she deliberately glared at him, leaving Huang Xiaochuan confused. When did he offend this petty person again?

After dinner, Yu Wei made an excuse to walk Huang Xiaochuan downstairs and invited Huang Xiaochuan to go for a walk.

Huang Xiaochuan thought it made sense; it was cooler outside at night, so he could use it as a way to cool off after dinner.

However, Yu Wei said something that Huang Xiaochuan didn't expect.

"Your class monitor, Qin Yu, has gone abroad."

"What?" Huang Xiaochuan was stunned. Qin Yu went abroad? Why would she go abroad instead of attending Shanghai University? Wouldn't a year of military training be wasted? Classes are about to start, what is she doing?

Huang Xiaochuan asked, "How did you know?"

"I ran into Ren Yangyang from your class at Qingjiang Shopping Mall the other day. I heard it from her."

"Oh!" Huang Xiaochuan didn't press the matter further. Besides, asking his brother-in-law where a girl who once had a crush on him had gone was like asking someone to go to the toilet with a lantern—it was practically suicide!

And then that idiot Yu Wei actually asked him, "Don't you want to know which country she went to?"

Huang Xiaochuan replied irritably, "What business is it of my what country she goes to study? Why should I know?"

As expected, Yu Wei revealed his true intentions: "I was just testing you out. You're alright, you're quite reliable. My sister didn't misjudge you."

Huang Xiaochuan cursed inwardly. This kid was definitely not a good person. If he hadn't really had such thoughts, he might have fallen into his trap.

At this moment, Yu Wei took the initiative to say, "I asked Ren Yangyang, and she said that Qin Yu went to the United States. I can't remember which university it was. The name was too long to remember. I think it was some kind of branch campus. It doesn't sound like a good school."

It's no wonder Yu Wei thinks that way. Most Chinese people don't know much about foreign universities these days, and Yu Wei is judging foreign universities by domestic standards. How can that be the same? However, Huang Xiaochuan guessed that the branch campus was most likely the University of California, Berkeley. That's great. I wish my old classmate a bright future!

Someone will inevitably be affected by her rebirth, and Qin Yu is probably the first one!

Huang Xiaochuan didn't want to continue discussing Qin Yu's matter with Yu Wei. He said to Yu Wei, "Come to my house to pick something up later."

Yu Wei immediately knew that Huang Xiaochuan must have brought him something, so he asked, "What is it?"

Huang Xiaochuan deliberately kept him in suspense, because this kid had just been pretending to be weak while trying to outsmart him.

"You'll see for yourself when you get it."

"Tch!" Yu Wei was very disdainful of Huang Xiaochuan's behavior.

But then he asked curiously, "Is Shenzhen fun? I heard there's a Chung Ying Street, have you been there?"

"It's not fun. It's just a huge construction site. They're building houses and repairing roads everywhere. It's dusty everywhere. We went to Chung Ying Street. Otherwise, where am I supposed to buy gifts for your parents? Chung Ying Street is only about 200 meters long, not even as long as our Dongheng Street. And most of the shops there are gold shops. Gold is indeed cheaper here. I just bought some."

Yu Wei lost interest as soon as he heard it. Men are naturally not interested in shopping. After hearing Huang Xiaochuan's description, Yu Wei immediately had a scene in his mind.

The labels "large construction site" and "Women's Street" have been attached to Shenzhen.

After arriving home, Huang Xiaochuan handed a tote bag to Yu Wei.

"Take them home and read them at your leisure. You and Tangyuan can each take one."

They gave us the things and then chased us away.

These Titoni watches cost Huang Xiaochuan over three thousand Hong Kong dollars, plus tax, it came to over four thousand. That's not considered very good in Hong Kong, but it's a different story in mainland China.

Yu Wei excitedly went home with the tote bag. As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't wait to open the watch box inside the bag. Inside were two beautiful watches.

Yu Wei was overjoyed! The watch looked expensive, so he quickly tried it on. The strap was a bit too big, and he had to remove a few clasps. Huang Xiaochuan forgot to remind him that both watches were original. He didn't know Yu Wei's and Tang Yuan's wrist circumference, so Huang Xiaochuan didn't have the straps altered at the watch shop.

Both his and Yu Xiang's watch straps had been modified. Don't ask Huang Xiaochuan how he knew Yu Xiang's wrist circumference; he'd find out naturally after touching them for a while.

Just then, Yu Min came out to get a drink of water and saw Yu Wei trying on a watch, so she came over. When she saw a women's watch, she thought it was for her and immediately picked it up to put it on.

"Hey! What are you doing? Put it down right now, that's not for you, that's Tang Yuan's watch."

This guy infuriated Yu Min, who shoved the watch into Yu Wei's hand: "Here you go, it's just a broken watch! What's so special about it?"

After saying that, she refused to drink any more water and stormed back to her room. Yu Wei put away his watch and also went back to his room.

Yu Min got angrier and angrier. Wasn't it supposed to be that peers didn't receive gifts? Why did Yu Wei and his girlfriend both receive them? She was so angry that she didn't sleep well all night and woke up the next day with dark circles under her eyes.
