Snake.Lizard and others had, of course, prepared wedding gifts when they came today. It was just that the red packets they prepared differed from the regular ones as they did not just stuff several hundred yuan inside.
The red packets they prepared were typically cards.
When Yang Xiaochun snatched the red packets from Qin Yirou’s hands and pulled out a black card from Snake.Lizard’s red packet that was at the bottom, she was at a loss.
Firstly, Yang Xiaochun was only a village woman. She was not knowledgeable or experienced. The norm to her was never a bank card given directly as wedding gift money. After all, bank cards were usually an individual’s existing asset; no one would give all their asset to someone else.
Next, the Black Card was a new launch in 1999. There was usually no limit to the typical Black Cards but the one Snake.Lizard gave Qin Yirou was capped at 8.88 million US dollars. This meant that it was unsurprising for a woman like Yang Xiaochun to not know what a Black Card was when it had just been launched.
After all, people who owned a Black Card did not apply for it themselves. They were tycoons who only qualified when the bank invited them to sign up for the card. Currently, those who were invited to sign up for a Black Card was incredibly rare and few in between.
Therefore, it was not just Yang Xiaochun who was baffled, the others who were present were stunned as well when they heard Yun Jian’s explanation regarding the inky black card in Yang Xiaochun’s hand.
“T-there are 8.88 million Chinese yuan in here?”
Yang Xiaochun had taken the red packet just now, so she was still holding the Black Card. Looking down at the card, she did not exactly understand the concept but the string of numbers Yun Jian mentioned threw her off.
Her hand that held the Black Card shook but she gripped it tightly, afraid that she would accidentally drop it on the floor. If she had damaged the card, she would not be able to pay for it even if she had to slave over it her entire life!
“8.88 million US dollars. You have to multiply it by 6 to convert it to Chinese yuan. It’s not exactly much, only around 50 million yuan,” Yun Jian retorted Yang Xiaochun in a drawl.
Her nonchalance felt like a tidal wave when it went to everyone’s ears. They were astounded.
Only around 50 million yuan? What did she mean by “only”? That was half a hundred million!
The guests shuddered in thought.
“Ack! 50 million yuan!” Yang Xiaochun was the one who reacted the most violently and her grip gave out. She did not manage to hold the card tight enough and it was dropped to the floor.
Yun Jian could have caught the card with a stretch of arm before it hit the floor but she did not do that, while Si Yi who stayed beside her kept his gaze on her without a care for the world. As for Snake.Lizard, she was watching Yang Xiaochun like the latter was a clown.
When Yang Xiaochun saw herself dropping 50 million yuan on the floor, her knees buckled and she fell to the floor in a kneel to pick up the Black Card shakily before giving it back to Qin Yirou.
“Sorry! Sorry! Here’s your card back!” Yang Xiaochun nearly had a heart attack.
As she spoke, her hands were shaking like wiggling springs. She passed the card to Qin Yirou but missed continuously due to her trembling hands.
Qin Yirou took the card from her in shock as well, not expecting it to contain such a large sum of wealth.
“T-take these b-back too!” Yang Xiaochun had just realized that she was still holding the red packets Qin Yirou had received from the tycoons and wanted to return them all to the woman when a pair of hands stopped her.
Yun Jian arched a brow at Yang Xiaochun’s panicky state and snorted, “Since you’re holding them, do us a favor and open each of them before returning them to my mom.”
