Chapter 284: The Wayward Antique Shop (Additional Updates after 100,000 Collections)
This antique shop has been open for almost fifty years, but it closes frequently.
When to open and when to close the store depends entirely on the boss's personal mood, which is extremely capricious.
This was Xie Luan's fifth visit, and the previous four times he came to nothing.
She was in poor health and had fainted accidentally before, so her family would not let her go out alone.
However, every time Xie Luan came here, he only let Bai Changle accompany him, and told Bai Changle not to tell anyone about this matter.
During this period, after being massaged on the head by Gu Yan several times, Xie Luan felt that his body had actually gotten much better, which could be seen from his complexion.
That's why the Bai family felt safe with Xie Luan coming out.
Bai Changle stood not far behind Xie Luan, squinting his eyes, shielding his eyes from the sunlight with one hand, and looking at the archway above.
"Shuiyunjian, that name has a rather ancient charm," Bai Changle said, his brows relaxed. "Thank God, it's finally open today. Mom, why do you have to come to this antique shop? And you're always so secretive."
"Something happened." Xie Luan couldn't explain too much to Bai Changle for the time being, because she had been brooding over it ever since she saw the jade pendant hanging around Gu Yan's neck.
She had an identical jade pendant at the time, which she bought from an antique shop called Shuiyunjian.
Although her jade pendant had long been lost, and was very similar to the one hanging on Gu Yan's neck, in order to avoid having similar jade pendants in the world, Xie Luan planned to come to this antique shop to confirm with the owner.
However, Xie Luan was unsure. After all, it had been almost twenty years since the incident, and the owner of the antique shop might not remember it.
Maybe even a change of boss.
Although the hope was slim, Xie Luan still stubbornly wanted to find an answer.
It seemed as if there was a force in the dark that urged her to do this.
Xie Luan suddenly felt a little nervous, not knowing why.
She took a deep breath, walked forward and pushed the door open.
The mahogany door, carved with various magical-looking beasts, slowly opened with a creaking sound.
The sun shines in, and if you look closely, you can see dust particles flying in the beam of light.
Bai Changle followed Xie Luan's footsteps closely. He choked a little, coughed, and said, "There's so much dust. Could it be that it hasn't been cleaned for a long time?"
"Indeed," a man's voice suddenly sounded, his voice was gentle and very pleasant.
He seemed to smile and said, "You are lucky. I haven't been open for a year."
Bai Changle: ...
Xie Luan was stunned when he saw the white-haired young man in Tang suit slowly walking out from the back room.
When Bai Changle heard this, he frowned and was speechless. They only opened the store once a year, so they weren't afraid of going bankrupt.
He said, "We are unlucky. We have come here five times already. If we had known that you would only open once a year, we should not have come the first four times."
The man in the Tang suit smiled slightly, not angry at all. He turned around, looked at Xie Luan, and said, "Ms. Xie, long time no see."
"It's really you, Boss Liu!" Xie Luan's face showed more confusion than ever. "Twenty years have passed, how come you still look... in your thirties?"
"Maybe I'm in better shape." Boss Liu smiled slightly, then walked over to the chairs and said, "Please sit down, I'll make you some tea."
Bai Changle was a little confused. He found that his mother seemed to know this Boss Liu.
Well, let’s not talk about whether to maintain it or not for now.
This willful and white-haired boss Liu looks like an ancient person. His every smile and frown, even those subtle movements, do not seem to be from this era.
Could it be that because he is in the antique business, he does this by hypnotizing himself into becoming an ancient person?
Well, if you have read Jiuge’s previous book, you will know who this person is, o(*￣︶￣*)o. If you don’t know, it won’t affect your reading of this book, mwah.
