Chapter 193 The Revenge Plan Begins
Just as Kong Wange was struggling with her inner turmoil, Murong Ting's profile seemed to have eyes, and he spoke first: "What's wrong? Is there something you want to tell me? Wanwan, as I just said, it's my own choice to be nice to you. If you have anything to say, please don't feel embarrassed."
These words made Kong Wange even more embarrassed. But now that she had said it, it would seem too pretentious not to say it. So she forced a smile and asked, "Um, do you have any valuable jade at home?"
Murong Ting, turning the steering wheel, looked surprised: "Jade?"
Kong Wange nodded: "If you have any, could you lend me one? I need it."
Hearing that she was asking for his help, Murong Ting couldn't hide his joy, and his voice was filled with undisguised arrogance: "I have plenty of these in my study. When we get to the old house, come with me."
Kong Wange awkwardly stretched out her toes, which were fiddling with the bottom of the car, and whispered, "Thank you."
Murong Ting curled his lips into a smile but remained silent.
The car's speed gradually increased.
Soon, the two returned to the old house.
Without saying hello to Sanbao, Murong Ting led her to the study first, and eagerly took down a dozen or so boxes from the antique shelf, opening them one by one in front of her: "Wanwan, these are all for you."
Looking at the various jade stones in the box, their quality and texture clearly indicated they were quite valuable. For the sake of her revenge plan, she shamelessly asked, "I don't know much about jade. How much are these jade stones worth?"
Murong Ting straightened his expression: "Wanwan, it's too vulgar of you to talk to me about money."
But he still patiently explained: "This jade bracelet is worth over 800,000 yuan."
"This jade pendant is worth less than two million."
"Although the jade quality of these earrings is not top-notch, their exquisite craftsmanship makes them worth between four and five million."
...
"This jade hairpin is said to have been worn by a princess of the Song Dynasty. It is considered an antique. The jade quality and workmanship are also top-notch. It is the most expensive one here, and its estimated value should be around ten million."
After saying that, Murong Ting looked dissatisfied: "What, are you embarrassed to accept them because they're too expensive? Why are you asking so many questions? I already told you, they're all yours."
Kong Wange looked at these treasures, gritted her teeth, and decided to stick to her thick skin, her face slightly red: "Are jades this cheap now? Um, are there any more expensive ones, like the kind worth many zeros?"
Murong Ting: "..."
He thought to himself, "I was really being presumptuous. Wanwan is the woman that Murong Ting has taken a liking to. How could these vulgar treasures possibly catch her eye?"
He gathered up the boxes and said excitedly, "You wait here!"
He turned around, took a few steps forward, opened the bottom shelf, and took out a box.
The box had a combination lock.
Without a second thought, he entered the password in front of her and then took out a beautifully packaged piece of jade.
The jade stone was about the size of a baby's fist, crystal clear and translucent, and exuded a powerful aura, clearly indicating its high value.
Murong Ting handed it to Kong Wange: "This is a piece of jade that I bought from an antique shop. It's probably several hundred years old. It's a jade piece that can be used to ward off evil spirits."
Kong Wange was a little stunned when she heard this. She needed something more expensive, but this was too expensive. She was so scared that she didn't dare to accept it. She asked cautiously, "Isn't this... too expensive? I'm afraid I'll break it for you."
Seeing this, Murong Ting smiled slightly and placed the jade in her hand: "No matter how precious it is, it is not as precious as you."
He was genuinely worried that Kong Wange wouldn't accept, and he didn't want to miss such a good opportunity to flatter her, so he gave her a way out: "Besides, didn't you say you were just borrowing it? It's not like you're not going to pay it back. What are you afraid of? Even if you lose it, you can just compensate me with yourself."
Kong Wange rolled her eyes: "Dream on. Let me tell you, one thing at a time. At worst, if Yunting Pharmaceuticals encounters any research and development problems in the future, I'll help you a few times for free."
Holding the heavy piece of jade, she felt a little uneasy: "So, how much is this jade worth?"
Murong Ting said calmly, "I bought it for over 200 million. I had an expert appraise it a few years ago, and the price had almost doubled. It might even increase a bit more today."
Kong Wange's hand almost trembled.
"Excuse me for asking, but how come this thing is so valuable...?"
Murong Ting found her cautious manner amusing: "This is ancient jade, of the highest quality, and without any trace of artificial carving. It's a large piece of natural jade. Even if the price is high, people will still flock to it. Do you know why?"
"Because...it's scarce?"
Murong Ting nodded: "Few people who collect antiques are short of money. These kinds of items, which are valuable but not readily available, never lack buyers. I just happened to be lucky."
Kong Wange said she understood, but she was even more afraid to use it.
In her estimation, a sum of tens of millions would be enough to help her complete her plan. Now, with such a "bombshell" thrown at her, she's really worried that something might go wrong during its use...
"Well, how about you give me something cheaper, like the kind that costs tens of millions?"
Murong Ting's tone was both indulgent and helpless: "Wanwan, do you think jade is like cabbage, with all kinds and prices available?"
Kong Wange: "Uh..."
It has to be said that this was the time she was most thoroughly convinced by the rebuttal.
She went over her plan again carefully, and feeling there weren't any major flaws, she cleared her throat and said resolutely, "Okay, I'll borrow this for now, and I'll return it to you when I'm done! By the way, this jade hasn't been featured in the media, has it?"
Murong Ting said helplessly, "Am I that high-profile?"
Kong Wange said guiltily, "Okay, then would you mind giving me the receipt for the jade as well?"
"As long as it's you, I don't mind. I'll serve it to you later."
Murong Ting knew that she wouldn't borrow the jade from him for no reason; she probably had a plan to deal with the Kong family. He wouldn't ask any more questions; all he wanted to do was unconditionally support Wanwan.
Kong Wange took a deep breath: "Okay, it's getting late, you should get some rest too. I still need to call Jingjing."
"Quiet?"
"Yeah, you'll understand later." After saying that, she didn't hide it from him and took out her phone to make a call.
Beside her, Murong Ting saw her making a phone call and went to pour her some water.
Kong Wange called, and after a short while, a quiet voice came from the other end of the receiver: "Little Gege, you finally remembered to call me! I thought you had forgotten about me!"
Kong Wange quickly smiled and said, "How could I forget you? I've been so busy since I got back, I only just managed to find some time."
"Oh, by the way, how's the matter with the Kong family going? You really don't need me to go back and help you?"
"No need, no need, it's almost all taken care of. But I did call you this time because there's another favor I need your help with."
An Jing was very forthright: "What kind of help do you need? Just tell me!"
"You own a film and television company, so you should have some marketing accounts on your side, right?"
