He Youran followed Lu Qingzhuo’s line of sight and looked at He Shouxin’s neck. Her gaze also paused on the jade pendant for a moment, and she raised her eyebrows slightly.
“Yours?” She asked.
“No, that’s my grandmother and my grandfather’s love token. A few weeks ago, my grandfather’s old residence was robbed, and this jade pendant was also lost. I searched for a long time, but there were no clues.”
Lu Qingzhuo said frankly.
“May I ask, Miss He, where did you get this jade pendant?”
He stared at He Youran and suddenly had a bad feeling.
This woman seemed to have an inexplicable attraction to him, pulling the trajectory of their fate together. It made him uncomfortable and curious, but at the same time, he also felt a little helpless.
Saving his grandmother, helping him out, and now getting the Lu family’s jade pendant, all sorts of coincidental accidents made Lu Qingzhuo feel that the debt the Lu family owed He Youran was not going to be repaid so easily.
“Antique city.”
He Youran also felt that it was too much of a coincidence.
“No wonder this jade pendant is so precious. I thought it would appear in the exhibition hall or the auction, but I didn’t expect that someone would not recognize it and let it end up in the antique city.”
Lu Qingzhuo sighed.
“Miss He, to tell you the truth, this jade pendant is very important to my grandmother. I intend to redeem it. May I ask, how much would it cost for you to be willing to part with it?”
Since the jade had lost its owner, He Youran did not intend to take it for herself. She beckoned He Shouxin with her finger, and He Shouxin immediately took the jade pendant obediently.
“I spent 20,000 yuan to buy it.”
After she finished speaking, she looked at Lu Qingzhuo with some interest. As expected, she saw Lu Qingzhuo’s expressionless face change slightly. He revealed the exact same surprise that she had when she first heard the antique shop owner’s offer.
“The owner thought that this was a high-quality imitation Tang jade, so it’s a fixed price.”
Lu Qingzhuo: …
He never expected that his grandfather and grandmother’s love token, the dragon and Phoenix jade pendant, which would definitely be considered a family heirloom if placed in an ordinary household fall to the extent that it would be considered a high-quality imitation.
Lu Qingzhuo’s expression changed, and he had an interesting expression on his face. After a moment of silence, he said,
“I’ll pay two million to buy this jade pendant back.”
Hearing how rich he was, He Youran was shocked.
What the heck! He had suddenly increased by a hundred times! As expected of the second richest family in imperial capital. He was stupid and had a lot of money!
“No need. I’ll return it at the original price.”
He Youran wasn’t that greedy.
This jade pendant was very precious, but to her, it was just one of many collectibles. It wasn’t much, but it wasn’t much either. However, in the Lu family, it had a different meaning.
She handed the jade pendant to Lu Qingzhuo.
Lu Qingzhuo was still sitting in the car. He wasn’t good at walking, so he couldn’t stand. He could only hold the jade pendant with both hands to express his gratitude.
“Add me on wechat. Transfer the money to me after dinner.”
He Youran unceremoniously took out her phone.
Even though they had only met twice, she had already seen Lu Qingzhuo’s character, so she was the first to speak up, so that Lu Qingzhuo wouldn’t feel bad about owing someone.
Lu Qingzhuo liked He Youran’s straightforward way of doing things, so he gladly took out his phone and added her.
He Youran’s profile picture was of a black cat. The fat black cat was half-sprawled, lazily licking its paws. Although it was lazy, it exuded an elegant and mysterious aura. For no reason, people felt that the black cat was very similar to He Youran in person.
As expected, the profile picture was of He Youran in person.
Lu Qingzhuo chuckled.
He originally thought that he and He Youran had just met by chance and that they would no longer have anything to do with each other. But now, he felt that it was not bad to have an interesting friend like He Youran.
He invited He Youran and He Shouxin into the car and instructed the driver to start the car to Drunken Cloud Pavilion.
