Chapter 464
Qiao Qingyu followed his gaze and saw Mr. Zhao’s ex-wife, Huang Ling. She instantly realized that there must be something fishy about that ring.
At that moment, though Huang Ling’s complexion was unsightly, she couldn’t make a scene at such an event—it would be embarrassing for everyone involved.
She nodded at Qiao Qingyu and then turned to leave.
Qiao Qingyu found an opportunity to talk to her and that’s when she learned that the ring belonged to the woman’s late mother.
It wasn’t like they were superstitious, but this was simply too ominous. Mr. Zhao’s mother-in-law really had a knack for being annoying and irksome.
Nowadays, wedding ceremonies were very straightforward, and since there were no restaurants around to host a banquet, everyone simply ate peanuts, sunflower seeds, and pieces of candy in Mr. Zhao’s courtyard to celebrate.
The base was always busy, no matter the time. When most of the guests had left, Qiao Qingyu quietly took Li Bo aside to tell him about the situation.
Li Bo quickly took out the gold ring, and at that moment, Mr. Zhao also came in, his face awkward. Li Bo smiled, handed the gold ring to Mr. Zhao, and said softly, "Give the gold ring back to Sister Huang, it holds sentimental value for her."
Without saying anything else, Mr. Zhao’s face turned red.
Fortunately, given his age, he had thick skin. He said, "When my bonus comes next month, I’ll buy you a gold ring."
