Chapter 400 Antique Shop
Chen Zhuyi could also feel this sudden firmness. She just lowered her eyes, held her lover's fingers tightly, and said nothing. Sometimes there was no need to say too much, they would naturally understand each other.
After hurriedly returning, Chen Zhuyi saw Mo Cuilin who had been waiting there. There was a rare gloom in his eyes, as if he had encountered an urgent matter.
"What happened?" Chen Zhu asked directly and casually straightened his clothes.
Mo Cuilin spoke out all the problems he was facing without any reservation.
"Our goods have been temporarily detained. They said there are many unsuitable items in them and they need to be inspected before they can be sold again."
His face turned ashen.
This is obviously just a tactic used by the Lighthouse people, but at this point, no matter how much money one has, it cannot suppress the selfishness and meanness of this group of people!
"Where is Pete?" Chen Zhu asked softly, as if he had already made preparations to face all of this.
This sentence made Mo Cuilin stunned for a moment, and then he quickly thought of a solution.
"I'm sure Aretha is still feeling pissed off right now. What makes you think she'll help us out?"
He subconsciously asked.
"She is not a petty person. The fact that she was generous from the beginning has already proved that she is extraordinary." Chen Zhu said, and eagerly asked Mo Cuilin to arrange a car.
Instead of wasting time explaining it all here, it’s better to leave as soon as possible so that you can salvage more goods. Those handicrafts are prone to problems!
If anyone fails to take good care of the little flame they carry with them, all those things will be ruined. With the minds of these villains, there is no guarantee that they will not come up with vicious means!
Just thinking about this, Chen Zhuyi kicked Mo Cuilin, who was still motionless, and his voice became more anxious: "Hurry up!"
Urged by the situation, Mo Cuilin immediately arranged for people to take action. Soon a car drove over and took Chen Zhuyi and Huo Jinzhi to the vicinity of Aretha's home.
The detached villa they lived in looked very luxurious. There were even special people guarding the door with weapons, not allowing anyone to get close.
"Although I haven't made any appointment with Miss Aretha, please tell him that I am..." Chen Zhuyi felt that this sudden visit was a bit presumptuous. He laughed dryly and spoke hesitantly.
Before she could finish her words, Luna excitedly greeted her, "Are you here to see Aretha too? Come in with us!"
She had already put on the clothes made of the material given by Chen Zhuyi.
The long skirt fits her figure, and the small floral patterns on it make the girl look even more bright and graceful, and every move she makes is charming.
Even Chen Zhuyi, the gifter of the fabric, didn't expect that they could look so vibrant in it.
"Ms. Luna, we haven't confirmed the identity of this lady yet. If she did something dangerous..." The guard's tone was hesitant.
However, Luna just looked at him with a cold face.
It was at this moment that Chen Zhuyi realized more deeply their identities. Each of them was an unparalleled noble.
As a noble, you don't need to use too many words to embellish your words, and these people will naturally step back.
The guard didn't dare to speak anymore and lowered his head cautiously, with a hint of fear in his expression.
"Alright, come in with us. I'll naturally vouch for your identity. If you do anything dangerous, I'll deal with you immediately."
Luna then spoke again with a smile and glanced at Huo Jinzhi beside her.
The man was dull and didn't talk much, but he and Shen Zhu seemed to be a perfect match.
Luna could guess a little about the purpose of their coming here. This was the only way the higher-ups did things. She was not stupid, and sometimes she was even the driving force behind these things.
I just think that people like Chen Zhuyi are more interesting because they can cause trouble to others.
Aretha was trying on her new clothes. When she saw them coming, she frowned in annoyance.
"I'm here to visit you with my good friends. You won't kick us out just because you're angry, right?" Luna said with a wink and a smile, but her tone seemed to be complaining. She was just expressing resentment.
The dress that Aretha stole was one-of-a-kind. The beautiful color made her skin look even whiter, making her look like a glowing princess!
Having enjoyed so many benefits, of course we have to pay a small price.
Chen Zhuyi should be a smart man. He wouldn't be so stupid as to just barge in before thinking of a reason for negotiation.
Luna poured herself a cup of tea with a smile, not feeling at all like a guest here.
A faint bitter taste permeated her lips and tongue, but she sighed with satisfaction as if she understood what she had, and nodded pretentiously.
"Tea leaves are just brewed with boiling water, which is indeed an insult to the tea itself." Chen Zhu said this in a serious tone.
She was not proficient in the tea ceremony, but she had tinkered with it a little in her spare time. When TV dramas about tea art became popular in later generations, she also participated in some tea performances, so she had some experience in this regard.
"If I want a good cup of tea, I need someone who understands tea. I want to ask Miss Aretha for some tools. I wonder... can you help me find them?"
Chen Zhuyi was not in a hurry to make a request. Instead, he calmly asked for the tools to make tea, as if he had come from afar just to drink a sip of good tea.
Even Huo Jinzhi couldn't figure out what she was thinking and just stood aside obediently.
Aretha's heart was filled with doubts, but she still maintained a hint of pride in her heart: "Whatever you want, if you can't find it here, no one else in the whole country will have it."
She raised her head slightly, her expression full of arrogance.
After Shen Zhuyi finished talking about the tools needed, he frowned and ordered the servants to search through all the boxes and drawers before they finally got a set back from an antique shop outside.
"This thing doesn't look authentic, so I'll just use it for now. It's okay." Chen Zhu fiddled with the tea whisk in his hand, still with an extremely disgusted expression.
She skillfully pushed the cups and teacups to brew the tea. The green tea slowly rolled up and some tea foam rolled out. Soon, a lively little fish appeared on the cup of tea.
"This is part of the culture of drinking tea." Chen Zhu smiled and pushed the thing in front of Aretha.
This skill of making tea was enough to make the two young ladies stunned.
"The craftsmanship is good, the tea looks good and tastes good, but Ms. Shen shouldn't come here just for tea, right?" Aretha was very satisfied with the performance and raised her dilemma calmly.
