Du Ruo looked at the items in Duobao Pavilion one by one, admiring them, but he just didn't want to exchange them.
Mr. Li was getting a little anxious. He couldn't help but ask, "Little friend Du, what do you think of these things of mine? Is there anything you like?"
"How should I answer you, old man? You must have some fine things here. For example, that Ming Dynasty teapot with a precious flower pattern and a poem handle. It's got this shape and this kind of carving. I want to trade it with you. What would you do?"
Mr. Li stared without saying a word.
That definitely won’t work.
The Ming Dynasty pot with Baoxiang flower pattern and poem is carved from a whole piece of jade. There is not a single flaw on the whole pot. The Chihu crawling on the handle of the pot is carved vividly and every detail is visible, not to mention the Baoxiang flowers and poems on the body of the pot. Even Du Ruo himself could not do such carving.
Old Li understood what Du Ruo meant. He couldn't exchange the things he liked, and she also didn't like the things he wanted to exchange with others. The old man was a little depressed.
Du Ruo smiled and said, "Don't worry, old man. I will go to the jade trading market again in the second half of the year. I will get you a piece of Five Fortune Color jade then."
The old man is in a bad mood, how can it be so easy?
When the two of them came out to drink tea, Li Lao forced himself to cheer up. He looked at Du Ruo and said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "You are so young and it's not your fault that you met the wrong person. Have you ever thought about finding someone else to spend the rest of your life with? What do you think of my An Ze?"
Old Master Li had mentioned this to her in his previous life, but An Ze didn't mention it, so Du Ruo naturally pretended to be joking. Unexpectedly, the old man mentioned it again in this life.
Mr. Li said earnestly, "I know you get along well with the boy from the Yuan family, but the Yuan family is still a bit too complicated. You are a smart and perceptive child, and you may not like these trivial matters. Feelings are never a matter of two people. Sometimes, even the deepest feelings cannot withstand the test.
You're a child that really catches my eye. I always feel like we're destined to be together. If you could be with An Ze, I'd be at peace even if I close my eyes one day."
Du Ruo was a little at a loss. She didn't expect the old man to mention this to her.
Seeing Du Ruo remain silent, Elder Li sighed and said, "No one knows a son better than his father. I know An Ze's feelings. His transfer was my arrangement. He's not suited to continue entangled with his elder brother in H City. He and An Rui are not the same kind of people. I really hope he can live a peaceful and orderly life."
Du Ruo smiled: "Don't worry, old man, he will."
After saying goodbye to Li's house, Du Ruo did not take a car. She strolled alone on the path. The autumn afternoon sun was warm, comfortable and pleasant, just like Anze.
Du Ruo walked aimlessly, recalling many past events. Every leisurely and comfortable time spent with An Ze appeared so clearly before his eyes. There was no passionate emotion, only the warmth of a trickle, which was plain and warm and made people yearn for it.
But matters of the heart are really hard to explain. Yuan Tingchuan is the variable in her life.
A car slowly stopped by the side of the road, and the bodyguard opened the door. Yuan Tingchuan, with Du Ruo's coat on his arm, slowly walked in front of her, reached out and put the coat on her shoulders, with a reproachful tone in his voice.
"Why are your hands so cold? Why don't you put on more clothes?"
Du Ruo looked at the handsome face with confusion in her eyes. She knew in her heart that this man was not a good match. At least An Ze was more reassuring than him.
Yuan Tingchuan looked at the confusion in Du Ruo's eyes and seemed to understand something. He reached out and held Du Ruo in his arms, but said nothing.
He doesn't want to make any promises easily, precisely because he loves so much, he would rather let time prove everything.
Du Ruo hugged the man's waist tightly, leaned lightly on his chest, and the aroma of tobacco filled her nose.
Perhaps, time can really prove everything, so there is no need to be impatient.
Ms. Bai Minhua finally decided to return to Hong Kong City. Before leaving, Ji Bailin said to Du Ruo, "You missed my engagement ceremony. I'm getting married in three months. If you don't come, I'll be very angry with you."
Du Ruo waved his hand listlessly and said, "I can't guarantee that. Who can guarantee something that's so far in the future?"
Ji Bailin was choked by her and wondered what happened to his sister.
Ling Yun said coldly: "It's stupid."
Du Ruo glared at him fiercely, then asked, "Why are you so idle? Why don't you leave?"
"I'm leaving this afternoon, and you still want to give me a farewell party?"
"I'll kick you and tell you to get out of here."
After seeing Ling Yun and her adopted brother off, Du Ruo thought it was time for her to go home. The incident in H City had come to an end. She had stayed here just to wait for Ling Yun. Later, the incident with Chen Guochang happened, and both Shang Yi and Chen Yuan had urged her several times.
She had been waiting for his biological mother and Ji Yuan to return to Gangcheng. Now that everyone had left, Du Ruo was also packing her luggage.
"Come back to Hong Kong City with me? I've been quite busy lately, so stay with me for a while. After I'm done with this, I'll go to Linshan to accompany you."
Yuan Tingchuan sniffed the fragrance of Du Ruo's hair and whispered in her ear.
Du Ruo pushed him away and stretched out her hand, saying, "Where's the gift you owe me?"
"It has been shipped back to you. You will see it when you get back."
Du Ruo walked to the window, looked out at the night and said, "We'll talk about our affairs later. How is Qu Xin?"
"She was sentenced to three years. I don't think she'll stay long. I heard Mrs. Qu is here."
"What about Han Ming?"
"I returned to H City and started my own business. I'm now the general manager of Changfeng Construction."
Du Ruo was surprised: "Didn't Mr. Smith settle the score with him?"
"What does it have to do with him? He works for the Qu Group. Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up, so he can't be touched."
"Then where did he get so much money to start his own business?"
"It must have been obtained by selling things, but Smith and Qu's father don't know about it."
Du Ruo was confused.
"There's no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world. Wouldn't it be clear if they just opened their mouths?"
"Mr. Smith has a ton of fakes and is really pissed off. Do you think he's in the mood to have a peaceful conversation with Mr. Qu?"
In other words, the one who really got the upper hand was Han Ming? That bastard really got away with it.
Du Ruo touched his chin and said maliciously, "Do you think I should do a good deed and tell those two?"
"It's too late. Mr. Qu went back home this morning and won't be coming to H City for a while. Mr. Smith, with nowhere to vent his anger, has also gone back."
Du Ruo sighed, which meant that she woke up too late and didn't have time to trick Han Ming?
She looked at Yuan Tingchuan complainingly: "Why didn't you remind me?"
