After getting Pang Zhong to hand He Shouxin over to He Youran, Lu Qingzhuo took the elevator to the fifth floor.
His grandmother was also staying in this hospital.
“Qingzhuo, you’re here.”
Seeing Lu Qingzhuo, old madam Lu hurriedly sat up from the bed and asked anxiously,
“I asked you to help find the young lady who saved me at the airport. Have you found her?”
“Not yet.” Lu Qingzhuo shook his head. “There’s something wrong with the surveillance cameras at the airport. The footage was lost. I’m still investigating.”
Old lady Lu Sighed in disappointment and asked again,
“Have you found the person who stole from your grandfather’s old residence?”
“Yes, but the items they stole have already changed hands. It’s difficult to find the buyer for the time being,” Lu Qingzhuo said in a low voice.
The Lu family was originally in Rong city. Later, when their business grew big, they moved to the imperial capital.
Grandma was already very old. She suddenly wanted to return to her and Grandpa Lu’s old house to take a look. In the end, she found that the old house had been robbed. The dragon and phoenix jade pendant, the token of love between her and Grandpa Lu, had also been stolen.
Grandma had a heart attack at the airport and her body was already weak. After this stimulation, she was directly hospitalized.
“Strange, why did the surveillance cameras at the airport break down?”
Lu Qingzhuo’s younger sister Lu Qinglan stomped her feet and said regretfully,
“I misunderstood that woman and haven’t apologized to her yet!”
The Lu family had always taken revenge and returned the favor. The girl had helped her grandma, but she still mocked her. This made Lu Qinglan feel very bad.
“We’ll find her,” Lu Qingzhuo said.
His words seemed to have the power to calm the hearts of the people, calming down the anxious hearts of Lu Qinglan and Lu Qinglan.
He Youran gave He Shouxin a checkup. After making sure that the little guy was fine, she brought him out of the hospital.
Ever since they returned to Rong city, He Youran had never properly accompanied the little guy. Now that he was fine, she called nanny Zhang back to tell her that he was safe. After that, she brought He Shouxin to the antiques city.
She liked antiques, and He Shouxin was influenced by her, so he was also very interested in antiques. When the two of them went to the same place to play, the antiques city was their favorite place to visit.
Rong city had a deep heritage. It was the ancient capital of the six dynasties. The antiques city located in the center of the city was a replica of the buildings of the Song dynasty. It took up a large area and was divided into three floors. Each floor had countless shops.
He Youran held He Shouxin’s hand and walked around the shops with great interest.
The items in the shops were dazzling, but there were not many authentic ones. As a tourist city, the antique city was more commercialized.
The mother and son walked to the third floor and entered a shop called “Tang Baozhai”.
This shop was not small. The three rooms were probably connected, and there were a lot of goods inside.
The owner was a middle-aged man with a small mustache. He was thin and wore a light-weight tang suit. When he saw them come in one by one, he casually raised his eyes to take a look, and then concentrated on calculating with the abacus in his hand.
A woman and a child. The clothes on their bodies couldn’t be identified by the brand. It was obvious that they were ordinary people who were here to stroll around.
The boss wasn’t enthusiastic, so He Youran didn’t mind. She held He Shouxin’s hand as they walked in front of the display cabinet. Suddenly, a jade pendant with a faint warm yellow color caught her attention.
She pointed at the jade pendant and turned to ask the boss, “Boss, how much is this jade pendant?”
“Boss, how much is this jade pendant?”
The boss glanced at the place He Youran was pointing at and a look of disdain flashed across his eyes. “20,000 yuan.”
As expected, she was here for a stroll. She couldn’t even tell the good from the bad. He had bought this jade pendant at a roadside stall. The cost was only 200 yuan. It was a modern imitation and wasn’t worth much.
He Youran and He Shouxin looked at each other and raised their eyebrows in surprise.
Was there a mistake? A Tang dynasty jade pendant was sold for 10,000 yuan? The antiques in China were so cheap now?
“Boss, take out this jade pendant and let me have a look,” He Youran said.
“Are you sure you want to buy it? Don’t look if you don’t want to buy it.” The boss was a little impatient.
These poor people couldn’t afford the good ones and complained about the bad ones.. They just touched it and let it go. It was a waste of time to do business with them!
