Xie Yunzhou sent a message.

Shi Xi stood up. "I'm going out for a bit."

"Hey, I'm talking to you!" Hua Ruoling called out to Shi Xi, "Consider the bracelet a loan!"

"I understand." Shi Xi disliked Yan Linlang at all, and naturally had no good feelings about the things she gave her.

However, considering her status, Shi Xi still had to buy something as a return gift.

Xie Yunzhou took Shi Xi to the jewelry store and asked, "What do you want to buy?"

Shi Xi went straight to the jade bracelet section, saying, "I want to buy a bracelet."

Xie Yunzhou took her hand and asked, "Don't you like this bracelet anymore?"

The jade bracelet on Shi Xi's wrist was the one he had given her.

It transitions from pale purple to jade-like color, clear and flawless, a top-quality jade.

"If you like it, buy one as a gift." Shi Xi told Yan Linlang about it.

"Why did she suddenly give you a string of beads? What kind of string of beads?" Xie Yunzhou frowned slightly.

Shi Xi described it and said, "It's similar to the one you're wearing."

Xie Yunzhou often wore beaded bracelets, but it was for calming the mind and soothing the spirit.

Why send this?

"Are you going to give her a bracelet in return?" Xie Yunzhou asked.

"Yes, she practically ripped the bracelet off my wrist." Shi Xi didn't understand either. Yan Linlang didn't seem like someone who was short of money, so why would she do something so rude?

Xie Yunzhou said, "That was a gift from me."

“That’s why I didn’t let her take it off!” Shi Xi asked the shop assistant for a purple jade bracelet. “She seems to be having a yacht party tonight, so I’m planning to buy her a similar one.”

"These ordinary goods are not as good as the violets I gave you." Xie Yunzhou glanced at them and then looked away.

Shi Xi: ...

Of course she knew how valuable the bracelet she was wearing was.

That was a rare item bought at an auction.

The counterfeit goods sold in the jewelry market are naturally inferior to these.

"She only gave me a beaded bracelet, so I'll just give her a regular jade bracelet in return." Shi Xi tried it on and felt it wasn't as good as the one she was wearing, but it was still acceptable, so she asked the shop assistant to wrap it up.

Xie Yunzhou paid the bill and said, "You mean, she likes the violet you're wearing?"

Shi Xi nodded.

Xie Yunzhou: "Buy another one, so you can wear the jade bracelet all the time."

"Huh?" Shi Xi instantly understood Xie Yunzhou's thoughts and said, "She wouldn't be that unreasonable, would she? I already gave her a new one, why would she still want my old bracelet?"

"Not necessarily." Xie Yunzhou pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go to the pawnshop to take a look."

If you want to create an aged look, you should go all the way.

When they arrived at the pawnshop, the two picked out a purple jade bracelet with a good color that looked like it had been worn for a long time.

"This bracelet looks pretty good, how did it get pawned?" Shi Xi said regretfully.

The pawnshop manager, while having his staff process the bill, explained with a smile, "The owner of this bracelet has faced a major family crisis and had no choice but to sell his possessions to make a living."

After Shi Xi finished appreciating the performance, she said, "Okay."

Xie Yunzhou, sitting on the other side, asked, "I've heard there's a saying in your industry that exchanging items can bring good fortune?"

The pawnshop manager was slightly taken aback, then said, "This is the first time I've heard this."

"Oh? You've never encountered anything strange while running a pawnshop?" Xie Yunzhou pressed.

The pawnshop manager's expression changed several times before he finally said, "Nowadays, everyone values ​​science, and feudal superstitions are not to be believed."

Shi Xi put the bracelet back and asked, "Has this been cleaned?"

"Don't worry, Miss Shi, we will clean all the items that customers pawn before reselling them," the pawnshop manager said.
