When Gu Youran was seventeen, she met Han Jingchen and fell in love at first sight. She knew him for eight years and loved him for eight years.
Han Jingchen had a car accident and was confine...
This pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants are carved with superb craftsmanship. The jade is as smooth as mutton fat, emitting a soft and charming luster.
On the dragon-shaped jade pendant, the dragon's body is agile, its scales are clearly defined, and its whiskers seem to tremble gently in the breeze. Its majestic momentum seems as if it will break free from its restraints and soar into the sky in the next second.
In the phoenix-shaped jade pendant, the phoenix has an elegant posture, and the feathers of its tail are fine and flowing, as if it is about to sing, expressing an ancient and beautiful blessing.
Such a design is both noble and grand, yet also childlike, giving people a sense of auspiciousness and friendliness.
It is the perfect gift for your child’s full moon.
Gu Youran quietly opened his third eye.
Inside the jade pendant, there was a faint golden energy flowing slowly.
The energy is like being given life, lively and active.
"This pair of jade pendants..." Gu Youran's heart moved.
Her intuition told her that this was definitely not an ordinary thing.
She then pointed at the pair of jade pendants, her tone full of anticipation, and said to the clerk, "Please show me this pair of jade pendants."
The clerk looked embarrassed, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes. "Miss, to be honest, this pair of jade pendants is our store's most valuable treasure. They are extremely valuable and of great significance..."
Before the clerk could finish his words, a burst of arrogant laughter came from the store door.
Qian Ru walked into the store with two women in a swagger.
She was wearing high heels, and the "tapping" sound was particularly harsh in the store. She came to Gu Youran with a menacing look.
The other two women stood behind Qian Ru like followers, one on the left and one on the right, with mocking expressions on their faces.
Qian Ru glanced at the pair of jade pendants, her eyes filled with disdain and contempt, and said sarcastically, "Oh, who was it? It turns out to be you, Gu Youran."
After a pause, she continued, "I've heard you always have a unique eye for things. Are you going to show everyone your unique 'appreciation skills' again today?"
The two women beside her quickly echoed her.
One of them laughed shrilly and said, "That's right, I don't know if some people really understand or are just pretending."
The other covered his mouth with a malicious look on his face, "Maybe he just wants to take some pictures here so he can brag to others that he saw this treasure of the store."
Qian Ru, this powerful woman who is so powerful and domineering in the business world, has always been arrogant and cannot tolerate others being better than her.
A few days ago at the "Nian Wan" store, she had wanted to use her financial resources and so-called knowledge to suppress Gu Youran, but unexpectedly, she was silently slapped in the face by Gu Youran.
She had been holding this anger in her heart, like a time bomb.
I happened to see Gu Youran in the jewelry store today, and this bomb was instantly detonated, and all the new and old grudges flooded into my heart.
Moreover, she had admired Shi Heng for a long time. Every time she saw Shi Heng and Gu Youran being intimate, the flame of jealousy would burn wildly in her heart, almost devouring her.
At this moment, she brought helpers with her, and she felt even more confident and became more unscrupulous.
Gu Youran frowned slightly, and a hint of annoyance flashed in her eyes, but she ignored the provocation of Qian Ru and others.
Instead, he said to the clerk again firmly: "Please take it out and let me see it."
The clerk had no choice but to carefully take out the jade pendant and place it on the counter gently, for fear of disturbing the pair of precious treasures.
Gu Youran stretched out his hand, picked up the jade pendant steadily, and opened his third eye again.
In an instant, the faint golden energy inside the jade pendant flowed more clearly.
As the energy surged, blurry yet tender images unfolded before her eyes like a scroll:
A white-haired ancient craftsman was concentrating on carving the pair of jade pendants, his eyes full of piety and concentration; then, a kind-faced mother, full of love and expectation, solemnly handed the pair of jade pendants to the hands of her twin children, muttering to herself, praying that they would have a safe and smooth life and grow up healthily.
Gu Youran could clearly feel that this pair of jade pendants not only carried a long history, but also contained a mysterious and powerful protective power.
It seems that as long as the wearer is in trouble, this power can quietly protect him and bring him peace and happiness.
Seeing Gu Youran so engrossed in the story, Qian Ru's disdain grew even stronger. She raised her voice and sarcastically said, "Oh, it really looks like that! Do you think you're a treasure appraiser?"
"Don't embarrass yourself here. Put it down quickly. If it breaks, your rich husband will be in trouble."
The two women beside her also joined in the commotion: "That's right, stop pretending here and put it down. Maybe he just wants to take the opportunity to touch her and satisfy his vanity."
Gu Youran slowly raised his head, his eyes as calm as water, looking at Qian Ru calmly, and slowly said: "This pair of jade pendants is a rare treasure handed down from the Qing Dynasty royal family."
"Its carving is exquisite and the jade is of the highest quality, making it a rare find in the world. More importantly, it embodies an ancient and mysterious protective power that can bring peace and happiness to the wearer."
"I was planning to buy it as a full-month gift for my friend's twins, a boy and a girl. It's the perfect gift."
Qian Ru was stunned at first, as if she had heard some ridiculous joke, then she burst into laughter: "Haha, Gu Youran, you're really good at making up stories."
"The power of protection? Do you think you're the heroine in a fantasy novel? Stop dreaming like that."
Her two followers also laughed.
One said, "That's right, this is too outrageous, it's totally unheard of."
Another echoed, "He's probably dazzled by this treasure and is talking nonsense here."
Just then, an old man in Tang suit walked over.
He is the owner of this store and also a well-known jewelry appraisal expert in the country.
When the old man heard Gu Youran's words, a hint of surprise and curiosity flashed in his eyes.
He looked at Gu Youran, nodded slightly, and asked, "Miss, you said this jade pendant belonged to the Qing Dynasty royal family, and you also mentioned the power of protection. Do you have any basis for this?"
Gu Youran remained calm and composed. He calmly handed the jade pendant to the old man and said methodically, "Old sir, look at the carving craftsmanship of this jade pendant. The lines are smooth and delicate. The dragon and phoenix are lifelike, with a combination of strength and softness."
"This is a typical Qing Dynasty imperial jade carving style, with every detail showcasing the royal demeanor. The jade itself is smooth, delicate, and warm to the touch. It is top-grade Hetian jade, a rare find in the world."
"As for this protective power, I have a special feeling. Although it is difficult to express in detail in words, the feeling this jade pendant gives me is very strong and is definitely not just imaginary."
"Moreover, the jade pendants embody the meaning of 'dragon and phoenix bringing good luck'. As a full-month gift for my friend's twin boy and girl, they not only express my sincere blessings for the children, but also have profound cultural connotations and beautiful expectations."
The old man took the jade pendant, put on his reading glasses, and looked at it carefully.
