Chapter 88: Mission Impossible
Lin Yilan and Huo Juncheng returned to their new villa, and all the furniture there, including Sister Xia's, was replaced by Huo Juncheng.
As soon as she entered the house, Lin Yilan was a little touched when she saw that the house was full of new furniture.
Huo Juncheng said nothing, and called the new aunt in the family over: "Sister Xiu, you should have seen her at the Huo family. She is an elder in the Huo family, and the food she cooks is very delicious. Let Sister Xiu take care of you at home from now on."
When Sister Xiu saw Lin Yilan, she quickly stepped forward and took the bag from Lin Yilan's hand.
"Young Madam, do you want to eat or wash up now?" Sister Xiu asked Lin Yilan with a smile on her face.
Have a meal?
Wash up?
Lin Yilan didn't care about these things at all. She came to the study without saying a word. The first thing Lin Yilan did when she turned on the computer was to look up information about the green-glazed porcelain jar on the Internet.
After searching around, I put together all the valuable news, which roughly means that this jar is very expensive now. Not only that, the old craftsman who made this green-glazed porcelain has passed away.
The average price of those green-glazed porcelains is basically over 8 million now, and the size of this jar is estimated to be more expensive.
However, what makes Lin Yilan even more difficult to accept is that the person who collects this green-glazed porcelain has no intention of selling it at all, so it can be said that it is now priceless.
Lin Yilan slumped dejectedly on the computer desk: "I really want to slap myself to death right now. Why did I have to touch someone else's artwork when there are so many other things I could do?"
"Don't worry, I've already asked someone to investigate. Once I find someone who has this celadon porcelain vase, I'll bring them over to negotiate. There's nothing in this world that money can't solve. If there is, it's because the price I offered wasn't high enough."
Huo Juncheng stood behind Lin Yilan holding the milk. After comforting Lin Yilan, he handed the milk to her.
Lin Yilan hasn't been to school once in the past few days. Her mind is full of thoughts about the jar. She shouldn't have touched that thing at all.
Not only did she lose interest in doing anything and kept searching for information about the tank online, she even lost her appetite.
"Young Master, is it that the Young Madam doesn't like the food I cook? Can you help me ask the Young Madam what she likes to eat, or is there something wrong with my cooking... The Young Madam eats as little as a cat every day. How can this continue?" Sister Xiu followed behind Huo Juncheng, asking repeatedly with some concern.
Huo Juncheng also noticed that Lin Yilan's condition hadn't been right for the past few days. He glanced at Lin Yilan lying on the bed and said, "Even if the sky falls, we still have to keep going today. If you don't eat or drink, can we buy an identical jar as compensation?"
"But, I was definitely wrong about this. I'm too embarrassed to eat. Don't try to persuade me anymore. I've made up my mind and nothing anyone can say will help me."
After Lin Yilan finished speaking, she hugged the pillow with both hands and covered her head. She buried her head like a wounded ostrich, trying not to let anyone see her miserable appearance.
Huo Juncheng pulled back Lin Yilan's blanket and said, "Go back to the Huo family and ask grandma. I heard that the Zhang family is going to hold a charity dinner soon."
"Charity dinner, charity dinner, banquet and so on, what does this have to do with me?" Lin Yilan kicked the quilt impatiently.
"Madam Zhang has always had a good relationship with the president of the Art Association. I heard that the celadon-glazed porcelain vase was among the items the Chu family brought to the auction this time. The one originally owned by the club had lotus leaves printed on the bottom, while the one owned by the Chu family has lotus flowers on the bottom. Originally, these vase were a pair, but somehow the Chu family ended up with one and the other ended up at the club."
Huo Juncheng was not angry at Lin Yilan's impatient attitude, but explained to her slowly and methodically.
Now Lin Yilan finally understood why Huo Juncheng insisted that she go to that charity dinner with her. For a moment, Lin Yilan was so excited that she jumped up from the bed, scaring Sister Xiu next to her so much that she almost dropped the ginseng soup in her hand to the ground.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier! If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have gone with you earlier. You're such a fool!" After Lin Yilan got up, she happened to see the ginseng soup brought by Sister Xiu. It seemed that her appetite came all of a sudden.
Lin Yilan took the ginseng soup and gulped it down in one breath, which made Sister Xiu very happy.
At least Sister Xiu also knew why Lin Yilan was making such a fuss, and it was not mainly because she had offended this young lady.
Lin Yilan casually found a windbreaker and put it on, then took Huo Juncheng's hand and walked out: "I haven't been back to see grandma these days. Now that you mention it, I remember it."
"What can I say to you? If grandma saw how profit-driven you are, she would probably be heartbroken." Huo Juncheng pressed the car key, looked at Lin Yilan helplessly and sighed.
Lin Yilan made a face at Huo Juncheng. "What do you mean by that? I'm serious. I haven't been back to see grandma for a while. You can't even interfere with my going back to see grandma, right? How is grandma's health lately? Should I buy some of her favorite fruits later?"
After getting in the car, Lin Yilan kept chattering non-stop. Huo Juncheng sighed. He was so focused on driving that he had no time to pay attention to Lin Yilan beside him.
When they arrived outside the Huo family's gate, Lin Yilan looked at it and felt that the door seemed to have some magic power.
"Grandma!" Lin Yilan shouted inside before she even entered the door.
As soon as Lin Yilan walked into the living room, Grandma Huo rushed down from upstairs after hearing the news.
When Mrs. Huo saw Lin Yilan and Huo Juncheng coming back together, the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
She shook her head and rolled her eyes at Huo Juncheng: "Look at you, if you hadn't pissed off my granddaughter-in-law some time ago, she wouldn't have been away from me for so long!"
"Grandma, I have something to ask you. I heard that you and Madam Zhang have always had a good relationship. I heard Huo Juncheng say that she is planning to hold that charity dinner. Can you think of a way? I also want to go." Lin Yilan looked at Madam Huo with an aggrieved look.
Given Lin Yilan's personality, there is no way she would be interested in something like a charity dinner.
Madam Huo looked at Huo Juncheng, then at Lin Yilan and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of attending the charity dinner? Didn't you tell grandma before that you didn't want to go to that kind of messy party at all? It's too boring?"
Just when Lin Yilan wanted to say something else, Huo Juncheng didn't give her a chance to lie and took the initiative to explain.
