Chapter 27 - Opening Ceremony (2/2)

Her first success must be celebrated. Even though her mother was not able to attend the event, she knew that her mom had close eyes watching her every move.

Lena looked at the time and she was still a bit early to leave. She had about an hour before heading off to Gary's event. She decided to stay and talk to people. After all, making connections is very important for the future.

Lena approached Madam Li.

”I was glad that you were able to get the other two items of the Virtuous set. I hope they are to your liking.” Lena said.

”Definitely. I never knew the Shen family possessed them. I had spent lots of resources to locate them.”

”My family possess many ancient sets, one of them the Virtuous set. The Shen family may not have royal bloodline like the Li, but our family had designed jewelries for the Royal family since ancient times.”

”By any chance, do you know where the head crown is located?”

”The head crown was a piece donated to the Historical Museum in City B. My grandmother believed that some pieces should be shown to everyone while others can be kept personally.”

”She is correct. I am happy to know such an item is in a good place.”

”If Madam Li wishes, you can come to visit our ancient jewelry collection sometime.”

”I would love to.”

Lena chatted with Madam Li some more about jewelry and clothing of the ancient time. Lena was not an expert, but Madam Li enjoyed her company.

Madam Li enjoyed conversing with Lena. She was a smart and strong woman. Is this the woman who her son had been so smitten with?

”By any chance, do you know my son?” Madam Li asked.

”Kris Li? I know of him but we are not very close.” Lena smiled innocently.

”Didn't he come to visit you at your house the other day?”

Lena coughed. If she was drinking water, she would have choked. How did this woman know?
