At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

Lin Dong was also baffled by Gu Yu\'s sudden question and shook his head, saying, "No, I\'m an operations officer."

Gu Yu nodded, "Oh... I thought you were in HR! You speak rather bluntly."

It was then that Lin Dong realized why Gu Yu had suddenly asked him that. He had been lead astray.

Not wanting to lose face in front of Gu Yu, Lin Dong readopted the arrogant look he had just had.

"You should introduce yourself first! I want to see if you\'re worthy of my cousin!"

"No offense, but being handsome won\'t put food on the table. The line of people chasing my cousin could stretch to the Huangpu River! You need to show some real skills and real capital."

"Not to mention, you should have a stable job, at least a top-tier company, right? Otherwise, you can\'t survive in Modu!"

Lin Dong scrutinized Gu Yu with a judging look.

Gu Yu did not back down either, arching his eyebrows and meeting his gaze.

However, Gu Yu\'s expression was not very good because the other\'s words were indeed too blunt.

Such questions weren\'t off-limits, but they shouldn\'t be asked by Xinyue\'s cousin!

There were so many of Xinyue\'s elders present, weren\'t there?

If he answered, wouldn\'t it mean he was submitting to Lin Xinyue\'s cousin?

He had his pride too.

So, Gu Yu just looked at Lin Dong and did not answer his question.

Lin Xinyue couldn\'t stand it anymore either.

"Lin Dong! Haven\'t seen you in a few months, and how come your face has gotten so big? Is this how you talk to your brother-in-law?"

Lin Xinyue glared at her cousin, Lin Dong.

She brought Gu Yu back to introduce him to her parents and relatives, not to let him face their disdain!

Especially her cousin, what position did he have to interrogate his brother-in-law like that?

Even her grandfather didn\'t speak to Gu Yu with such aggression!

"Cousin, I\'m just screening for you!"

"Yeah, Yueyue, your cousin is just screening for you! He\'s concerned about you!"

Lin Dong smiled slightly, while Lin Xinyue\'s grandaunt also backed her son up.

Lin Xinyue knew very well what her grandaunt\'s family was like, and dismissively pursed her lips without responding.

"Alright! Dong, stop asking your brother-in-law these things; we just got an understanding of his situation."

"Today is my seventieth birthday, so let\'s keep things harmonious."

Just then, Grandpa Lin patted the armrest of his wheelchair.

The crowd immediately quieted down.

Lin Xinyue\'s mom also came over with a paper cup, gently placing it on the coffee table in front of Gu Yu.

She kindly smiled and said:

"Yu, we just ran out of tea today, so I made you a cup of kiwi fruit juice instead. I hope you don\'t mind!"

Gu Yu was pleasantly surprised and quickly held the juice in his hands to thank Mrs. Lin, "Thank you, Auntie!"

"Oh, and in the gifts I brought for grandpa, there\'s a small box of Saffron. You can take it out and brew some whenever."

Gu Yu pointed to the bag next to the coffee table.

Inside it was a semi-transparent storage jar containing the Saffron that Chen Tian had given him.

At a hundred thousand per half kilogram, Mr. Chen Tian had given him a small jar with more than two ounces.

Just that little bit would cost at least two to three thousand.

Next to it was a small gift box, inside which were the roots of a century-old ginseng.

The price of that was immeasurable, as it was priceless.

His visit to the Lin family had truly cost him a fortune.

"Ah! Saffron is really good stuff! Not cheap at all; you are thoughtful, kid!"

Mrs. Lin looked at the jar in the bag and hurriedly took it out.Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

Before she could take a closer look, Lin Dong had already taken the small jar of Saffron.

Lin Dong glanced at the jar a few times and said with a tsk, "Isn\'t this packaging a bit too simple?"

"Brother-in-law, you didn\'t buy some low-quality product from somewhere online, did you? Normal saffron costs about seven hundred dollars per ounce!"

Lin Dong opened the jar and sniffed the saffron inside, then said with furrowed brows, "This smells so sour; is it spoiled?"

The saffron in the jar had a strong sour scent, and coupled with the simple packaging, he guessed it was a counterfeit product that Gu Yu had bought online.

"This wasn\'t bought; it was a gift from a friend, and he definitely doesn\'t have fake goods."

Gu Yu said with a calm expression.

Joking aside, could Chen Tian possibly have fakes? Besides, dry saffron naturally has a sweet and sour scent.

This guy doesn\'t know what he\'s talking about, saying it\'s spoiled?

Knowing that Lin Dong was deliberately targeting him, Gu Yu couldn\'t be bothered to talk more with him.

Although Gu Yu understood, Mrs. Lin might not.

She took the jar from Lin Dong\'s hands, then leaned over to sniff it, indeed detecting a faint sweet and sour scent.

Could it really be spoiled?

It shouldn\'t be, right? Gu Yu doesn\'t seem like the type to pretend to be something he\'s not.

Mrs. Lin was uncertain, and then passed the jar of saffron to her father, who was Grandpa Lin.

Grandpa Lin, being well-experienced and having consumed many health supplements, first examined the appearance of the saffron and then sniffed its scent attentively.

His initially murky eyes instantly brightened!

"Beautiful flower! This quality is definitely the best saffron I have ever seen!"

In just a few moments, he had identified that the saffron in his hand was of exceptionally high quality!

"Yu, you really put a lot of thought into this! And the friend who gave you the flower must be someone extraordinary! If I\'m not mistaken, this saffron must be of top quality, right?"

"A few years ago, an old friend brought me half an ounce and it was worth five hundred dollars just for that amount, but the quality wasn\'t even as good as this!"

Seeing Grandpa Lin\'s face filled with admiration, Gu Yu scratched his head, feeling modest.

After all, this was something Chen Tian had given him; he was just passing it on.

But the item was definitely a quality product, ten thousand dollars a pound for saffron, not something you find every day!

Fortunately, Grandpa Lin knew his stuff; otherwise, it would have been really embarrassing if it had been mistaken for a low-quality product!

"Five hundred dollars for half an ounce? No way, isn\'t that just a few thousand for this little jar?"

Lin Dong was dumbfounded.

The saffron in this ordinary jar was worth several thousand?

What exactly does his brother-in-law do? Giving away such precious items?

Lin Dong felt uncomfortable inside. He had intended to show his presence in front of Gu Yu, but now he felt suppressed instead.

"Apart from the saffron, there\'s also a box of century-old wild ginseng, Elder. You can brew some when you\'re free; it\'s good for your health."

Gu Yu smiled slightly, pointing to another box.

Now Mr. Lin\'s eyes widened.

Century-old wild ginseng?

This treasure he had only heard of but never seen before, and Gu Yu had brought it as a gift?

"Hurry, hurry, open it and let me see!"

Mr. Lin could hardly sit still, eagerly directing his daughter-in-law to fetch the gift box.

Mrs. Lin quickly brought it out and gently opened the box.

Inside, small bundles of ginseng roots tied with red string were visible, not many, but each root was intact.

Mr. Lin carefully pulled out one, then bit off a small tip and chewed on it twice.

Everyone watched him closely, waiting for him to speak.

Seconds later, Mr. Lin, without a word, tucked the box into his jacket and said excitedly:

"It really is!"

At this, everyone was shocked. What treasures had Gu Yu brought—top-quality saffron and hundred-year-old wild ginseng?

Wasn\'t this driving up the bride price on the first visit!?
