The next day, in the car.
Li Xiujun specifically invited Xu Leyan to join them. She said, "Because the seller said they need to meet in person, we contacted you at this juncture. I hope you don't find it bothersome."
"It's okay." Xu Leyan couldn't hide her joy.
Centennial bone china is expensive, and there are very few people in the entire imperial capital who have the capital to buy it.
Coincidentally, she was so lucky to meet him.
At this time, she sold the batch of porcelain and gave the money to her incompetent husband. From then on, everything was over and they had no connection anymore. In this way, she could start a new life.
But what can I do!
Xu Leyan was confused again. She thought that she had escaped from the sea of suffering, but her father, who was guarding the family business, was feeling miserable.
After decades of hard work, he ended up letting his own daughter give up the family business.
"Oh!" She thought so, and a trace of sadness fell in her heart.
"Ms. Xu? Are you reluctant to let her go?" Even though she knew the truth, Li Xiujun couldn't help but ask more questions.
Xu Leyan lowered her guilty eyes and pinched the hem of her clothes. "How could that be? Of course I'm happy."
Li Xiujun carefully considered the other party's situation and felt puzzled.
Her pretty eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and she didn't look happy at all.
Ding-ling-ling, the familiar ringtone of the mobile phone rang in the car.
Xu Leyan gave Li Xiujun an apologetic smile, then carefully answered the phone. Knowing the other party's situation, she had tried her best to restrain her almost uncontrollable emotions.
The son-in-law's surname is Chen, and he is a very despicable person.
So everyone around him who knew him called him Chen Laizi.
Hearing Xu Leyan's trembling voice, he was extremely impatient, "Where's the money? I'm asking you where's the money?"
The debt collectors came over no less than three times. He trusted this woman unnecessarily and got punched for nothing.
The other party has already made his point.
If he can't hand over the money today, I will kill him on another day.
Besides! He didn't get that place back, and once he got the money from Xu Leyan, he would have a lot of fun.
Those ruthless people who can run rampant in the imperial capital may not be able to be brought to justice on the spot even if the police come.
Xu Leyan trembled habitually because of the other party's excited voice. She quickly touched her chest and tried to calm herself down.
She lowered her voice and growled, "Didn't I tell you? The things haven't been sold yet, and there's no chance of getting the money now. Don't force me."
"Force you?" Chen Laizi's face showed anger.
It seems that he still hasn't made his words clear, otherwise how could this ugly woman have the qualifications to negotiate with him.
"Okay!" He nodded with a sneer.
"Kid, come to daddy." Chen Laizi took a puff of cigarette and shouted casually.
The little kid didn't know what was good or bad, he just knew that the person in front of him was his father.
The child put down the toy in his hand with a smile, and slowly walked towards his father with his chubby little legs.
Chen Laizi, holding a cigarette in his mouth, put the mobile phone next to his child's mouth and said, "Come, call mom."
"Mom." The little baby called sweetly.
This was an ordinary interaction between the family of three, but when it happened in front of Xu Leyan, the scene was like a deadly poison.
A tear suddenly fell from her eyes, "You are so cruel."
He used her life force to threaten her. This man who once said he respected and loved her was really cruel.
Li Xiujun sat aside and planned to rest, but seeing Xu Leyan's expression changing again and again, she couldn't help but feel concerned.
Chen Laizi grinned with a cold smile. After so many years of marriage, his good wife finally knew his true face.
Chen Laizi rubbed his child's sparse hair and warned Xu Leyan, "Give me the money today, otherwise, neither of us will have a good life."
After saying that, he hung up the phone without mercy.
Xu Leyan clenched the phone with her fingers curled up. She suppressed her anger, tears streaming down her face, and she was extremely anxious.
"Miss Xu, are you okay?" Not only Xu Leyan, but also Li Xiujun, a non-participating spectator, could feel the anxiety in the car.
Xu Leyan wiped away her tears without leaving any trace. She tried her best to return to normal. "It's okay. Let's go quickly!"
The sooner she meets the buyer, the sooner she can get the money. Only in this way can her child return to normal.
Li Xiujun leaned back, glancing to the side from time to time.
She took the opportunity to look out the window and asked, "Miss Xu is so anxious to sell, she must be very short of money!"
Xu Leyan's eyes trembled, and her pupils naturally drooped. She said calmly with a businesslike attitude, "Student Li, this shouldn't be something you can judge by, right?"
Li Xiujun curled her lips slightly, "Just think of me as nosy, I won't ask anymore."
Xu Leyan was therefore much more cautious and sat in the car with her arms crossed the entire time.
When the car slowly stopped, the two had already arrived at the coffee shop where they had agreed to meet. Mr. Gu was already waiting inside, and the specially made walking stick made of pear wood was enough to prove his identity.
Before Xu Leyan even came closer, she felt a little happier.
This person can definitely afford those porcelains.
She quickened her pace and went over to greet him. As soon as she waved, Xu Leyan had already seen the person coming.
She paused, then said in surprise, "Mr. Gu, how could you be the buyer of this porcelain?"
"Do you know him?" Li Xiujun was surprised.
Old Master Gu sat confidently on the sofa. "My Gu family's business is well-known throughout the country, and in the imperial capital, it is the number one family."
"If you don't recognize me, all my years of work would be in vain."
Mr. Gu is indeed a veteran in this field. With just two casual words, he easily dispelled Li Xiujun's suspicions.
After some greetings, the three finally sat down.
It was the usual process. Li Xiujun helped to introduce it carefully and also talked about the authenticity of these porcelains. After a short half hour, the three of them got down to business.
Xu Leyan licked her lower lip. Seeing that Mr. Gu hadn't mentioned anything about the purchase, she was anxious, so she asked, "Mr. Gu, the item is excellent. Are you really not going to consider it?"
Old Master Gu drank his tea, his strong and resilient eyes slightly raised, "The thing is fine, but it is porcelain after all. Don't you think it's not good to take it so casually!"
"Mr. Gu, you can't say that. How could something authenticated by my Li Sanye Studio be fake?" Li Xiujun followed the procedure.
Xu Leyan nodded immediately. She needed the money so urgently that she couldn't hide the desire in her eyes.
She even wanted to lower her own price, "If Mr. Gu needs it, I can sell it cheaply!"
Li Xiujun sighed lightly.
Selling top-quality century-old porcelain at a low price? This is really ruining their own value, what a waste!
Mr. Gu is an insider in the industry, and he couldn't help but frown when he heard this. Zhang Shengmin's daughter really doesn't understand the rules of this industry.
