Chapter 1349 Where have I seen this bead before?

The table was placed in the backyard. Because the house had just been renovated, the backyard was flat and tidy, and Li had not yet planted any vegetables there.

The backyard is spacious enough to easily accommodate several tables.

Shu Yu led the old lady to sit at the main table. At this moment, the little girl had already returned to Zhou Qiao's arms and was looking around curiously with her eyes wide open.

Shu Yu glanced over and saw that the dishes had been served, so she helped the old lady pick up some food.

"Alright, sit down and eat by yourself, you don't need to take care of me."

The old lady pulled her along, smiling broadly as she looked at the large family gathered together in harmony, and felt very happy.

Shu Yu sat down and took a sip of soup, but suddenly felt a gaze fixed on her.

She turned slightly to the side, and when she looked up, she met Yuan Shanchuan's eyes.

Shu Yu was taken aback and looked at her fourth uncle with confusion.

Yuan Shanchuan pursed his lips and gave her a wink. Shu Yu understood and said to the old lady, "Grandma, I suddenly remembered something I need to tell Fourth Uncle. I'll go over there first, so I don't forget later."

"Go."

Shu Yu got up, and Yuan Shanchuan also gave Lu Sixing some instructions before walking with Shu Yu to the front yard.

There weren't many people in the front yard at the moment; apart from the people helping to carry the dishes around, everyone was eating in the back yard.

Once they reached a corner, Shu Yu asked, "What does Fourth Uncle want to see me about?"

Yuan Shanchuan whispered, "Ayu, do you know that Lele has a bead in her hand?"

Shu Yu paused, then suddenly looked up. "Why would Fourth Uncle suddenly mention that bead?"

Of course she knew that when she first met Xiao Song Le, the beads in the child's hand looked familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere before, but she just couldn't remember where.

I never expected to hear Yuan Shanchuan mention it. Could it be...?

"Have I seen Fourth Aunt's husband in other places as well?"

"I've met you." Yuan Shanchuan nodded.

Shu Yu hurriedly asked, "Where?"

"black market."

Shu Yu was stunned. The black market?

“Ayu, do you remember when I was trapped in the black market for several days? There was a manager in the black market who wanted to take the painting I had. I had a conflict with that manager, and I saw a string of beads on his wrist. The beads on it were exactly the same as the ones in Xiao Song Le’s hand. The manager seemed to treasure it very much.”

After seeing the bead, Yuan Shanchuan thought it over and over, but still felt that he should ask Shu Yu first.

That manager is no good, and that black market is no good place either. The relationships inside are complicated, and the forces behind them are very powerful.

Yuan Shanchuan was worried that Xiao Songle might find the bead somewhere, or that someone might give it to him, which could cause trouble.

If we take a more conspiracy-theoretic approach, Yuan Shanchuan is even more afraid that someone is targeting Shu Yu and has then set their sights on Xiao Song Le.

Yuan Shanchuan was even more worried because Xiao Songle was so precious and nervous.

Shu Yu was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning. She really hadn't expected this, not even if her fourth aunt's husband had mentioned it.

Now that she suddenly thought back, she realized that she had indeed seen the beads in the hands of the manager in the black market, which was why they looked somewhat familiar.

She had crossed paths with that manager before, but they only met once. Later, that manager was punished for poor performance, and Guo was replaced by him.

After that, everyone Shu Yu saw was Steward Guo.

Compared to Yuan Shanchuan, with whom she had a grudge, she naturally couldn't recall him after only one meeting.
