Chapter 285: Just an Old God (Reward and More)
Xie Luan had come back to her senses. Although she was very curious as to why Boss Liu, whom she had met twenty years ago, had not aged at all, she was more concerned about the jade pendant.
And since it was Boss Liu himself, it would be more convenient for her to ask about the jade pendant.
Xie Luan said, "Boss Liu, no need for tea. I came here to ask you something!"
"Yes, go ahead."
"Twenty years ago, I bought a jade pendant in your shop. It was in the shape of a drop of water, pointed at the top and round at the bottom, twice the size of a thumbnail, and gray in color. Do you still remember it?" Xie Luan looked at Boss Liu nervously and expectantly.
Boss Liu nodded, "I remember."
"That...that jade pendant," Xie Luan paused, then became excited and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I lost my jade pendant a long time ago, but I saw this one somewhere else. I'm not sure..."
"Although the jade pendant looks very simple and common in appearance, but..." Boss Liu smiled slightly and paused.
Bai Changle was waiting nearby, and was very annoyed when he saw this old charlatan keeping things in suspense and making his mother extremely anxious.
"Hey, boss, what's the matter? Just say it if you have something to say. Don't keep us in suspense like a charlatan! If you want us to buy another antique from you, just say it!"
Boss Liu looked at Bai Changle, smiled faintly and shook his head, "You are too impatient. One day in the future, you will suffer a great loss."
"Oh no, I told you you're a charlatan, and you're really gasping for breath? Believe it or not, I'll beat you up..."
"Changle!" Xie Luan suddenly spoke, and because she shouted too loudly, she coughed several times.
Bai Changle glared at Boss Liu, then immediately patted Xie Luan's back gently and asked nervously, "Mom, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"
Boss Liu looked at Xie Luan. He could sense a very gentle and familiar aura emanating from Xie Luan...
The corners of his mouth curled up, he stood up and said softly, "Please go back, my two guests. We are closing the store."
"Boss Liu, you haven't told me what's going on with the jade pendant!" Xie Luan asked anxiously, not caring about his own lack of breath.
Bai Changle suppressed his anger, but because he was worried that his mother Xie Luan would get angry again, he didn't say much, but he looked at Boss Liu with sharp eyes.
Boss Liu smiled slightly and said, "When the false is made to appear true, the true becomes false; when inaction is made, there is something and there is nothing."
"What's the meaning?"
"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed. But Ms. Xie, the blessings between your eyebrows and eyes are much greater than before."
After saying this, Boss Liu refused to say another word. He drove Xie Luan and her son out, closed the door in front of them, and locked it.
Although he found the person, there was no result. Xie Luan frowned and looked unhappy.
What is fake and what becomes fake when it is made real?
She remembered that this was a sentence from the fifth chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions". Although there are many versions of its meaning, they all cannot escape the theory of truth and falsehood.
Xie Luan lowered his eyes.
So what is true and what is false?
What does this matter have to do with the jade pendant?
Bai Changle had a temper like a monkey, and seeing his mother's sullenness, he immediately said, "Mom, that charlatan was just talking nonsense. Don't think too much about it. What do you mean by 'Heaven's secrets cannot be revealed'? Usually, when they really can't come up with anything else to say, they'll come up with something like that!"
"Forget it, let's go back."
For some reason, Xie Luan felt that since Boss Liu didn't say anything, no matter how much she asked, the other party would not say anything.
But that sentence in Dream of the Red Chamber is a key hint.
Small Theater
Jiu Ge: Brother Liu, are you happy to have you on stage again? Are you excited? Are you surprised?
Liu Xingyun: Isn't that as it should be? I heard that the outline of your third book has me as the protagonist.
Jiu Ge: It’s okay, I can change the outline and the male lead in a minute, after all, it’s still early for the new book.
Liu Xingyun: ...
