Chapter 366 - It’s So Vulgar to Talk about Money (2/2)

“She’s my girlfriend.” Li Yong says with a smile and winks at Wei Fangxia.

“I…” Wei Fangxia wants to deny it, but she suddenly understands something from Li Yong’s eyes and acquiesces. Li Yong’s wink makes her realize that she can’t go if she has no close relationship with Li Yong.

In order to complete the task of Director Yang and to continue to protect Li Yong personally, Wei Fangxia has to endure it temporarily.

“Okay, both of you can go.” Sui Yezhu agrees happily and asks Hao Huihua to notify the organization to book two more tickets. Then she looks at Li Yong and asks, “Where is your bloodstone? Show me.”

Li Yong takes a glance at Wei Fangxia and says affectionately, “Xiaoxia, go to get my bag from the car.”

Xiaoxia?

This is Wei Fangxia’s childhood nickname. Only her father and mother called her like this in her childhood. At this moment, hearing Li Yong call her like this, she has pins and needles in her scalp and has goose bumps all over her body at once.

This feeling is particularly strange and very unpleasant, as if Li Yong has taken advantage of her.

However, she has to pretend to be happy. Since she is his girlfriend, she should behave like his girlfriend. Therefore, after her face changed a few times, she goes downstairs to fetch the bag.

“Ms. Sui, this piece of jade on your body is very beautiful. Can I have a look at it?” At this moment, Li Yong stares at the piece of gold-plated jade pendant hanging on Sui Yezhu’s neck, because there is a wisp of spiritual power inside.

“Why not? Here you are.” Sui Yezhu gently takes it down and hands it to Li Yong. She continues to say, “This is gold inlaid with jade! I bought it from the market when I graduated from the Archeology School. It was cheap at that time! It is from the Tang Dynasty, but I thought it was from the Qing Dynasty and only spent 6 yuan. It’s very expensive now. Last time, a rich businessman wanted to buy it with three million yuan, but I didn’t want to sell it. I’ve been wearing it for decades and have had feelings with it.”

“Ms. Sui, it was worth only 6 yuan and now is worth two to three million yuan. Wouldn’t you have made a fortune if you had bought more?” It’s very rare for Sui Yezhu to be so happy, so Hao Huihua follows her words and says.

“I didn’t have so much money at that time! I couldn’t even afford to eat. I pinched and scraped to save 6 yuan. I didn’t eat anything for two days to buy this gold inlaid with jade!” Talking about the past, Sui Yezhu has a feeling of happiness with vicissitudes.

At this moment, Li Yong has absorbed the spiritual power inside the jade and gives it back.

Then Sui Yezhu starts a conversation and begins to talk about the era, during which people starved.

Life was very hard at that time. Everyone was craving for food.

However, Sui Yezhu doesn’t talk about the suffering when she talks about it now. She is full of nostalgia and gratitude.

She has no hatred for that era, and is actually grateful, which has made her what she is today.

Before long, Wei Fangxia picks up the bag and throws it to Li Yong. Her action makes Sui Yezhu nervous. She says, “Be careful. Young people are all careless now. You really don’t take the precious things seriously. Do you know it should take hundreds of billions of years for a piece of top-class bloodstone to form? Each piece has its unique beauty. You must be careful not to have an artificial accident.”

Wei Fangxia thinks to herself: I have been very careful. Li Yong is more careless than me.

Li Yong opens the bag with a smile and pushes the entire bag in front of Sui Yezhu, “Ms. Sui, there are several more here. You can pick one you like!”

Sui Yezhu opens it and has a look. She is so surprised that she opens her mouth almost as big as an egg. She really didn’t expect that Li Yong had so many pieces of top-class bloodstone that are more exquisite and precious than those of a city’s museum.

Now she really believes what Hao Huihua said. Li Yong really has so many top-class jade stones. She feels that Li Yong is not an ordinary person at all. At least he is the most extraordinary young man she has ever seen.

She holds them in her hand one by one and looks at them carefully. She is so attentive, as if she is worshiping heaven. She praises each piece of jade and is full of feelings for these jade stones. She is so happy that she nearly sheds tears.

Seeing that Sui Yezhu cherishes these jade stones so much, Li Yong is suddenly infected by her spirit and is very moved.

He thinks that only old experts like Sui Yezhu will know the beauty of these jade stones and will be deeply moved by these exquisite jade stones. She keeps saying, “Good, good, good!” It seems that she is stuttering.

Finally, she selects a piece of top-class bloodstone that weighs about 500 grams. The shape is like a mountain. The red color of the surface is like the beautiful glow of sunrise or sunset, as if it can make people see through the true meaning of life.

“This one! I’ll take this one! This one not only has high quality, but also has a good shape and romantic charm. It is like a concentrated landscape scroll which is very poetic.” Sui Yezhu can’t stop praising, “It is really rare!”

“Ms. Sui, how much is this piece worth?” Hao Huihua asks softly.

“It’s so vulgar to talk about money. Such a good thing is worthless!” Sui Yezhu says excitedly.

Then she looks at Li Yong and says with a smile, “Li Yong, I’ll keep this one. Please lend it to us for seven days.”

“Okay.” Li Yong respects Sui Yezhu’s personality and agrees at once.

“Take the rest with you carefully.” Sui Yezhu puts the rest carefully into the bag and hands it to Li Yong.

Then she says earnestly, “Li Yong, these jade stones are extremely valuable. Each of them is very rare and priceless. You must take good care of them! This bag is too simple. You must use a nice box to keep them and ask someone to look after them. Be careful not to be targeted by bad guys. You must not lose them.”
