Chapter 844: You Don’t Need to Inherit My Family’s Golden Finger (10)
Qu Shichu brought Feng Zhengting back home, poured him some tea, and took out the things he had traded with the visitor from another world.
Of course, she doesn’t take out all of them. For some of the things she likes, she will keep them for herself. Anyway, her companion space is big enough to hold these things.
She took out the ones she was not interested in and traded them with Feng Zhengting.
She opened a jewelry box, and a set of exquisite, dazzling and luxurious jewelry appeared in front of Feng Zhengting. This set of jewelry was made from the same ruby, and included a pair of diamond-shaped ruby earrings, a pearl and ruby necklace, and an emerald and ruby bracelet. It was obvious that this set of jewelry was not an ordinary item, and it was shining and glittering.
Feng Zhengting's face suddenly straightened. He put on gloves and carefully examined this set of valuable jewelry.
Qu Shichu got this set of jewelry from a woman who traveled to this world on the night of her second marriage. The woman's father was a wealthy businessman, and it was no exaggeration to say that his house was filled with gold and silver.
The woman's name was Li Sanniang. Her first marriage was to her childhood sweetheart. Unfortunately, her childhood sweetheart was in poor health and died only three years after their marriage, without leaving any children.
Her husband's family had watched her grow up and couldn't bear to see her remain a widow for the rest of her life because of their son, so they advised her to return to her parents' home and remarry.
Li Sanniang had a good relationship with her husband and did not want to remarry. However, her father felt that a woman could not live without a husband and children, so he carefully selected a poor student for her, thinking that Li Sanniang could sponsor the student to study, and when the student became successful in the future, she could follow her husband in glory and honor.
However, he didn't expect that the poor student was not actually single. He had a child bride and had been married for a long time, but he kept it a secret from Li Sanniang's family.
On the night she married him, Li Sanniang overheard what he said to his adopted child bride and his original wife, and then she realized that she had married a man of wicked deeds. It turned out that the poor student married her only because she was rich, and wanted to use her money to support his family and continue his studies. When he passed the imperial examination, he would quietly let her "die of illness", and then he would take over her dowry and "reunite" with his adopted child bride and his original wife...
After Li Sanniang overheard their plan, she felt like she was struck by lightning and ran away from the house on the spot. She wanted to go back to her mother's home to tell her father, but somehow she ended up in Qu Shichu's world while running.
After meeting Qu Shichu, Qu Shichu gave her many film and television works such as "Temptation to Go Home" and some novels about slapping, abusing and revenge. After reading these literary works, Li Sanniang opened the door to a new world. In order to repay Qu Shichu for his enlightenment, she gave this set of jewelry to Qu Shichu. This set of jewelry was specially customized for her by her father for this marriage, but after she knew the man's vicious mind, she disliked the unlucky nature of this set of jewelry and simply gave it to Qu Shichu.
Qu Shichu changed the story and told it to Feng Zhengting. Feng Zhengting's eyes lit up immediately and said, "Jewelry with a story is more attractive. I have to embellish this story well and try to make those noble ladies empathize and feel indignant. This way, I can increase its value..."
Qu Shichu: You are indeed a female businessman.
"What about these things? Do they have a story too?" Feng Zhengting asked Qu Shichu expectantly, pointing at the remaining things.
Qu Shichu nodded: "Indeed, there is. This ring was found in the emperor's treasury when a traitor rebelled and broke into the palace. This painting was created by a foreign merchant in the Tang Dynasty. It is very different from the popular painting style in the Tang Dynasty..."
Qu Shichu explained the origins of these things one by one. Of course, Feng Zhengting didn't know this was their origin, and only thought that this was a story made up by later generations to increase their value.
Feng Zhengting listened with great interest. When Qu Shichu had finished, he smiled and said to her, "You really have a talent for storytelling. I am fascinated by the story you told. If I didn't know that it was made up by others, I would have thought it was a true story."
This is indeed a true story, but Qu Shichu cannot say so, because the world in which these visitors from other worlds traded with her is not necessarily a different time period in her world. For example, the emperor's ring, that emperor did not exist in the history of her world, so Feng Zhengting would not think that the ring was really the emperor's ring.
Qu Shichu and Feng Zhengting confirmed and appraised all these things, packed them up and put them away. Now they can wait for the results of the auction in a few months.
After finishing his work, Qu Shichu drove Feng Zhengting away.
Feng Zhengting didn't want to leave. He looked at Qu Shichu pitifully and said, "You really won't let me stay for one night? Just one night. If I go back to the city now, it will be very late. Besides, it looks like it's going to rain. It's not safe to drive at night. It's the first time for my driver to drive on such a road. It's even more dangerous..."
He tried his best to persuade Qu Shichu to let him stay, but how could Qu Shichu agree? Her family had many secrets. If it was somewhere else, she wouldn't mind taking him in for a night, but not at home.
"If you're worried that it's dangerous to drive after dark, then don't waste time and leave quickly. It's still time to go back to the county town and find a hotel to stay in." Qu Shichu's heart was extremely cold.
"You are so heartless..." Feng Zhengting looked at her sadly, "Even if I have worked with you so many times, you can't be so heartless to me, right?"
"If you don't leave now, it will be dark. No matter what you say, there is no way I can keep you here, so just give up." Qu Shichu was not moved at all. Although it was pleasing to the eye to see the handsome guy acting coquettishly, she was still rational.
"I don't want to give up. Can you tell me the reason why you are so cruel and ruthless to me?" Feng Zhengting became serious, as if he really wanted a real answer from Qu Shichu.
Qu Shichu looked at him steadily and said expressionlessly, "Avoid suspicion."
Feng Zhengting paused. He didn't expect this to be the reason. His eyes darkened and he said, "Is it because of what happened two years ago? But didn't we agree to treat it as if it never happened?"
"Can you really pretend it doesn't exist?" Qu Shichu asked him back, "In fact, your mother has looked for me."
Feng Zhengting's face darkened instantly: "When? Why didn't you tell me?"
"What's the point of telling you?" Qu Shichu said, "Don't worry, your mother didn't do anything to me. She was very polite and just told me about your future family and career plans. Don't be angry. Your mother didn't give me five million to get rid of me and let me leave you. She is a reasonable person."
Qu Shichu couldn't help laughing as she spoke. Feng Zhengting's mother really didn't give her money to get rid of her or humiliate her.
