73 The Heavens Price Necklace (2/2)

”What is wrong?” Mo Wen asked, surprised. The necklace was the one he had taken from the Ming Cult treasure trove. He liked its design and artistic conception, so he had given it to Qin Xiaoyou as a present. Now what was up that she would return it?

”Yesterday, I accidentally let one of my roommates see the necklace. She said she was willing to buy it from me for two hundred thousand dollars. I was shocked. Is this necklace really that valuable?” Qin Xiaoyou had a weird expression. At the time Mo Wen gave her the necklace, he said it was just a normal necklace. She thought it looked really pretty, with a simple elegance that was her taste, so she had accepted it.

But yesterday after hearing that her roommate was willing to buy it from her for two hundred thousand, she was shocked. How could she not know then that the necklace was so valuable? She didn't dare to simply accept such valuable things.

”Two hundred thousand?” Mo Wen laughed coldly. That necklace had a pendant which was an old crater emerald jade with glass like transparency. The value of the pure gemstone was most likely no lower than 50 million dollars, and that wasn't even the most valuable part of the necklace. Its true worth lied in its rich historical value. Based on Mo Wen's observations, the necklace probably had thousands of years of history. Its color shined bright but its essence subdued. It looked rich yet elegant. The craftsmanship was masterful. It should be on the level of a palace treasure. Upon further deliberation, maybe it could even reach the level of a cultural relic. If it really was put up for sale, the retail price would probably not be lower than two hundred million, and even that was a reserved estimate.

Although Mo Wen was not sensitive to money, it didn't mean that he knew nothing about it. Trying to buy it with two hundred thousand, was she trying to buy scrap metal? ”Whether the necklace is valuable or not, I don't know. But it's a family heirloom, so please don't sell it,” Mo Wen sighed. He could only put it that way. He then helped Qin Xiaoyou put the necklace back on her neck. He would not be taking it back.

If he revealed the true value of the necklace, Qin Xiaoyou would not keep it. He had merely given her a small trinket and he didn't want to fuss over such a small matter.

As for calling it a family heirloom, that wasn't technically a lie. Now that he had inherited the Ming Cult's orthodoxy, the heirlooms of the Ming Cult were naturally considered his heirlooms.

”Why did you give me one of your family heirlooms?” Qin Xiaoyou's face blushed slightly red, but she didn't remove the necklace again.

”I had no use keeping the necklace with me. Was I supposed to wear it? Let's go grab a bite,” Mo Wen shrugged, simply coming up with an excuse. He didn't wait for Qin Xiaoyou to continue and started walking towards the cafeteria first.

Qin Xiaoyou bit her lip, lowered her head and followed behind Mo Wen pouting.

”Mo Wen, time to eat. Come join us,” Upon arriving at the cafeteria, they met Wang Yuan and Chen Chongqing. When they saw Mo Wen and Qin Xiaoyou, they greeted them with raised voices. To be able to eat with the great beauty Qin Xiaoyou? They couldn't ask for anything more.

”Let's go over,” Mo Wen smiled at Qin Xiaoyou, carrying his meal as he walked over.

Hua Xia University's food wasn't bad. Compared to off campus, it was much more affordable. With just five to six bucks you could have a decent meal.

As everyone was busy eating, a voice suddenly sounded, ”Qin Xiaoyou, let's eat together. Today's my treat.” Such a sudden voice caught the attention of everyone. As they turned to look, they saw a handsome man dressed in a white suit standing in front of Qin Xiaoyou. He wore a gentle smile on his face.

”Su Boyu!” A flicker of light flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. The previous incident had just passed for two days. Today he came to look for Qin Xiaoyou again. God knows what was he plotting.

”I am already eating,” Qin Xiaoyou frowned. She shot Su Boyu a glance, then she lowered her head to continue eating.

”Do you want to know about the thing I told you last time? If yes, then have a meal with me. Don't worry. I won't eat you up,” Su Boyu continued to smile warmly. He seemed to not notice that his arrival had caused an awkward silence.
