The old man's eyes slowly moved over the jade pendant.
Gently turn the jade pendant from time to time to allow the light to refract from different angles.
Sometimes I would gently stroke the surface of the jade pendant with my fingers to feel its delicate texture.
Ten minutes later.
The old man came back to his senses, raised his head and nodded repeatedly, his voice mellow, "Miss, you are absolutely right."
"This pair of jade pendants is a treasure handed down from the Qing Dynasty imperial family. The carving is exquisitely crafted, and the jade is smooth and delicate. It is truly rare and can be regarded as the pinnacle of jewelry."
He looked at Gu Youran, his eyes full of admiration. "Furthermore, Miss has a profound understanding of jade pendants. Using them as a full-moon gift is very meaningful and perfect."
Qian Ru was standing nearby, her face twisted with jealousy. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she blurted out, "This... How is this possible? She must be lying!"
The two women beside her looked at each other with astonishment in their eyes.
The old man frowned and looked at Qian Ru sternly, "Madam, if you don't understand, don't question it casually. This young lady has a unique vision and her judgment of the jade pendant is accurate and correct."
He turned to Gu Youran and smiled, "We previously priced this pair of jade pendants at 50 million, but their value is far more than that. They're worth at least 100 million."
Gu Youran frowned, thinking that the old man was going to raise the price on the spot.
But the old man changed the subject and said, "However, since you have a connection with this jade pendant and would like to use it for such a wonderful purpose, I will still sell it to you at the original price."
Gu Youran felt a warm feeling in her heart. Without hesitation, she took out her bank card from her bag, handed it to the old man, and said with a smile, "Thank you, old man. I'll buy it."
Qian Ru looked at this scene and her face instantly became extremely ugly, turning blue and white, as if she had been slapped hard several times.
The two women beside her also stood there awkwardly, their eyes flustered.
Just at this moment, the shop door was pushed open with a creaky sound.
Shi Heng walked in with an upright posture and an aura of his own.
He spotted Gu Youran immediately, walked quickly to her side, and asked softly, "Youbao, what's wrong?"
Gu Youran shook her head, a helpless smile playing on her lips, and said, "It's okay. I wanted to buy this pair of jade pendants as a full-month gift for Fang Yan's twins, but someone was mocking me from the sidelines."
Shi Heng frowned, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.
He had already known about Qian Ru's actions targeting Gu Youran at the "Nian Wan" store a few days ago.
Seeing her so arrogant again today, the anger in my heart suddenly flared up.
His eyes shot towards Qian Ru like sharp blades, and he took out his cell phone and called his assistant without hesitation.
Shi Heng said coldly: "Immediately terminate all our cooperation projects with Qian Ru, whether they are ongoing or planned, don't keep any of them."
"I'll carefully investigate her recent business activities. If I find any violations, I'll report them directly to the relevant authorities without mercy."
Qian Ru's face suddenly changed. She looked at Shi Heng in horror and said in a trembling voice, "Shi Heng, you... you can't do this! You are abusing your power!"
The two women beside her were also frightened and their faces turned pale and their bodies trembled slightly.
Shi Heng hung up the phone, looked at Qian Ru coldly, and said word by word: "Abuse of power?"
"You've repeatedly targeted Youbao, and you think I'll just sit back and do nothing? You'll have to pay the price for every insult you've said to her."
"Anyone who dares to touch me must be prepared to bear the consequences."
Qian Ru's body trembled more and more, her lips quivering, and she cried, "You... you are too cruel... I was just joking, why do you take it so seriously?"
Shi Heng snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain, "Joke? Your joke is too much."
"Today I'm just teaching you a small lesson. If you don't stop, the consequences will be far beyond your imagination."
Qian Ru gritted her teeth, held back her tears, and left the jewelry store in shame with the two women.
Gu Youran looked at their departing backs and sighed slightly.
Shi Heng put his arm around her shoulders and said gently, "Youbao, don't be angry with people like that. Fang Yan will definitely be very happy that you bought such a nice gift for the twins."
Gu Youran raised her head and looked at Shi Heng with a bright and happy smile on her face.
Shi Heng took the bag from her hand, and Gu Youran took the jade pendant gift box, and the two walked out of the jewelry store hand in hand.
…
The next morning, the sky was just beginning to turn pale.
Shi Heng and Gu Youran had already packed up and took an early morning flight to Yuncheng.
As soon as the plane landed.
Gu Youran's cell phone rang.
She took out her cell phone and saw a message from Fang Yan on the screen:
Dr. Gu, Mr. Shi, please come to our house for lunch so we can just be a family. We can also have dinner at the hotel with other friends and guests.
Gu Youran looked at the phone screen, his eyes filled with emotion.
She turned her head and said to Shi Heng beside her, "Heng, look, Fang Yan really treats us as her own family."
Shi Heng nodded slightly with a smile on his face, "Yes, Fang Yan is indeed a good person."
The two walked out of the airport with the bustling crowd.
As soon as I left the airport, the bright sunshine shone on me.
A middle-aged man in a black suit with sharp eyes locked onto Shi Heng and Gu Youran at a glance.
He hurried forward, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Doctor Gu, President Shi, Madam Fang specifically asked me to come and meet you two."
As he spoke, he took the luggage from the two people and opened the back door neatly.
He made a gesture of invitation and said, "Please get in the car, both of you."
An hour later.
The car stopped in front of an elegant villa.
