Chapter 139 - Come In, I Have a Gift (2/2)
The size wasn’t small, and the purity was very high.
On several occasions, the dean of the orphanage had almost cheated her of the necklace.
Fortunately, she was smart since young and had protected it.
The necklace was broken at the back and had been stored here with Tang Xiaoge.
Several times when they were too poor to even survive, she had urged them to just sell the stone.
However, Chi Dali had said: No, what if this is what your biological parents left you? What if you can’t find them anymore because you sold it?”
Tang Xiaoge deeply agreed and had since kept it.
It had been this way for many years.
Tang Xiaoge opened the box and said, “Your father has been working on this set of jewelry for more than a week. Take a look.”
As soon as she opened it, Li Beinian was amazed.
There was a row of four rubies, and the most striking was the centered evening chain.
The luxurious and shining vines surrounded a bright red and pure ruby, entwined together and becoming an entity of its own.
From a distance, it looked like two feathers inlaid with diamonds were connected together. The ruby was centered and the theme was distinct.
The same could be said for the earrings and rings.
“It’s so beautiful!” Li Beinian looked shocked. “Mom, did Dad make this?”
“Yeah, he wouldn’t let me intervene, but I got you some other self-defense little things.” Tang Xiaoge mysteriously took out another small box.
When opened, there was a white strip-like object inside. It was only half the length of her palm and looked like a special-shaped bag.
Tang Xiaoge whispered, “I went to the black market to buy this ivory. I ground it for you.”
With that, she picked up the little thing and gently pressed a hollow spot.
Something popped out immediately. It was a sharp, tiny blade!
Tang Xiaoge drew the small knife out of the delicate little device.
It was a very bright and good steel.
Although Li Beinian didn’t know how to make weapons, she could tell at a glance that it was of good quality.
