Wife is Fierce, Don’t Mess With Her! Chapter 854 – Huo Yingcheng, Yu Bao’er (Chapter 26)

Chapter 854: Huo Yingcheng, Yu Bao’er (26)

“What, what, what? Isn’t this just a lousy lighter? Why is it so expensive?”

Yu Chengzhuang was stupefied.

He had originally wanted to educate Yu Bao’er, but everyone’s attention was instantly shifted to the price of the lighter.

“What do you mean by lousy lighter? Dad, you don’t understand. This lighter’s value as a collector’s item far exceeds its utility value. Even Tepoga’s 2020 lighter is already unavailable. The more dated it is, the more expensive it is. It would be considered cheap to get a lighter of this brand for hundreds of thousands of dollars. I saw someone reveal this online before. Rich people have weird hobbies, like collecting such stuff. Nothing is surprising about it. Some people even particularly like to collect those old cars, stamps, and things like that. Things that were sold for tens of dollars in the past, might fetch up to ten million. Dad, a poor man like you won’t understand!”

Yu Chengzhuang: “…”

To think his son was talking back at his old man like this.

Miao Jiahe rolled her eyes at Yu Kairan. “Geez, how can you speak of your father like that? He’s just ignorant. But how can you talk to him like that?”

Yu Chengzhuang: “…”

Tears nearly slipped down his face. Wife, can you not talk about me like that?

Miao Jiahe, however, looked towards the baffled-looking Yu Bao’er. “How did such an expensive lighter end up in your hands? Shouldn’t you quickly return it?”

Miao Jiahe’s voice grew stern due to the nature of the item.

Yu Bao’er was startled.

It was one thing to witness what she had witnessed in the palace these few days, but it was quite another to have an item worth hundreds of thousand dollars suddenly appear in her luggage. Moreover, it was someone else’s belongings. She must feel flustered. Also, Huo Yingcheng hadn’t realized that his lighter was missing?

That can’t be right!

When exactly did this lighter land in her luggage?

Yu Bao’er felt scared. “I have no idea. I don’t know how this lighter appeared in my luggage. I’ll call him now and ask him. And also return it to him.”

Miao Jiahe knew that her daughter wouldn’t do something unsavory; she was well aware of her daughter’s character.

She nodded. “You go call him and find out what happened. Then return the item to him.”

At this moment, Yu Chengzhuang was sizing up that lighter again. He let out a ‘tsk.’ “To think such an ugly thing costs hundreds of thousand dollars…”

Yu Kairan added, “It’d be a few million if you convert it to yuan…”

Yu Chengzhuang’s heart trembled.

Meanwhile, Yu Bao’er had gone to one side to call Huo Yingcheng.

Yu Kairan sneakily followed over to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Thankfully she had the foresight to ask for Huo Yingcheng’s number. If not she would have to ask Qingjiu for it now. It would be awkward if Qingjiu started asking questions!

When she called, surprisingly shortly after, someone picked up the call.

Yu Bao’er merely asked for Huo Yingcheng’s number, but she had never called him before. So Huo Yingcheng didn’t know who she was. He responded doubtfully. “Hello, you are?”

Yu Bao’er was perturbed. “Err, I am Yu Bao’er… Commander Huo, I’m just calling to ask you, did you lose a lighter…”

“I was wondering why my lighter went missing. So it was you who took it!”

Seems like Huo Yingcheng was a bit anxious about this item too, for he sounded quite furious when he picked up the phone.

His tone was a tad harsh, making Yu Bao’er anxious.
