Xia Huiyin glanced at Du Juan and Xia Shige hesitantly. Du Juan smiled and said, "This is me. Go get the gift. We'll wait for you outside."
…
Xia Huiyin followed the auctioneer into a VIP lounge, and the auctioneer took out an exquisite box and handed it to her.
Xia Huiyin took the box and gently opened the lid, revealing an exquisite jade pendant.
The jade has a warm and delicate texture and soft color, just like a green lake, crystal clear, with a steely luster unique to glass-type jade.
The shape of the jade pendant is also very unique, with a plain surface in the middle like a jade pendant, and a circle of exquisite and gorgeous peonies carved around it. The head and neck of the phoenix can be vaguely seen among the peonies. The carving craftsmanship is exquisite, and the lines are smooth and natural, which shows that it was made by a master.
Even someone like Xia Huiyin who doesn't know much about jade can tell that this jade pendant must be worth a lot of money.
At this moment, an old man slowly walked over. His steps were steady and powerful, his face was a bit serious, and his eyes were deep and bright, revealing a kind of insightful light.
The auctioneer looked at the old man and introduced him to Xia Huiyin: "This gentleman is the original owner of this gift. He provided this gift for our auction."
Xia Huiyin greeted the old man politely, then placed the jade pendant on the table and declined, "This is too expensive. I can't accept it."
Xia Huiyin originally thought that the gift the auctioneer was talking about was just a souvenir or something like that, maybe a badge or a gift, but she didn't expect it to be such an expensive gift.
As the saying goes, one cannot receive a reward without merit, she really couldn't accept this jade.
Mr. Zhou took a look at the jade pendant in the box and said in a deep voice: "...just accept it. This jade pendant originally belonged to my wife, but unfortunately my wife left very early. I am a century old, and I will follow her in a few years. Before I leave, I want to find a new owner for it."
After hearing what he said, Xia Huiyin was even less willing to accept it.
She quickly said, "I really can't accept something so needy...you should leave it to your other relatives."
After hearing this, Mr. Zhou was silent for a moment, and then he slowly said, "...After my wife left, the only relative I cared about was my son...Unfortunately, my son and I are not close, and he is already 100 years old, but he refuses to find a wife no matter what. I don't know how to persuade him."
Xia Huiyin smiled when she heard this, and replied: "These are all about fate, there is no rush, once fate comes, it will come naturally."
As Xia Huiyin spoke, she pushed the jade pendant in front of Mr. Zhou and said, "You should leave this jade to your son."
Seeing this, Mr. Zhou was silent for a moment, then asked, "Don't you like this jade pendant? I heard that the item you bid for before was also a jade pendant. I thought you liked these."
Otherwise, he would not have hurriedly notified the housekeeper and asked him to find someone to deliver the jade pendant.
Hearing this, Xia Huiyin smiled and replied, "The jade pendant I photographed... that jade pendant looks very similar to the one my grandpa gave to my mother before he died. Unfortunately, the jade pendant my grandpa gave to my mother was broken by my younger sister, so I photographed that jade pendant and prepared to give it to my mother."
Mr. Zhou was surprised when he heard this.
He nodded and sighed: "So that's how it is. You are really a filial child, unlike my son..."
Having said this, Mr. Zhou sighed deeply, with a trace of helplessness on his face.
He shook his head slowly and continued, "The relationship between us has never been good. I was busy with work earlier and neglected him and his mother. He always blamed me for this..."
Xia Huiyin couldn't bear to hear him say that, and hurried to comfort him: "Don't be too sad, maybe after a long time, the conflict between you two will slowly be resolved. After all, blood is thicker than water, and family ties cannot be severed."
Mr. Zhou looked at Xia Huiyin, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I hope so..."
…
On the other side, after Xia Huiyin left, Xia Shige got up and left the reception room, using the excuse of taking a breath, and went around the security passage.
The cat jumped out of the safe door and landed on Xia Shige.
Xia Shige touched the cat and asked, "How is it? Have you seen it? What's the situation with Qianqian?"
The cat answered in Xia Shige's mind:
[Host, I didn’t see Qianqian, but… I saw your biological mother! ]
Xia Shige: “…”
Xia Shige: “Ah?!”
