Xue Chen didn't pay much attention to Shen Zixi's request to change her title.
"Xue Chen, you have been coming to Daxing for a while, and you have recovered a huge loss for Daxing a few days ago, so I would like to treat you to a casual meal, is it convenient?" After chatting for a while, Shen Zixi The purpose was finally revealed.
Before Xue Chen could say anything, Wang Dong on the side immediately blinked at him, his face full of evil smile, hehe said: "I heard it all, it's the beautiful Shen who invites you to dinner, go quickly, don't delay What a beautiful time."
Wang Tianhai also smiled and said: "Since someone invited me, let's go to my house for dinner another day."
Seeing the two people saying this, Xue Chen didn't think much and simply responded: "Okay."
"Then I'll wait for you in the store." After Shen Zixi finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
When Xue Chen rushed back to Daxing Pawn Shop, he saw Shen Zixi waiting in front of the door from a distance. When he walked closer, his eyes were uncontrollably attracted by the beauty in front of him.
At this time, Shen Zixi had already changed out of the beige dress she wore during the day. The slightly off-shoulder slim-fitting solid-color T-shirt revealed the delicate collarbone under the slender white neck, which seemed to be carved from white ivory, smooth and white. Clean, without a single flaw.
The slender waist that can be grasped makes the chest extra plump, as if it is about to burst. The dark blue jeans tightly wrap the straight, slender, and toned legs, which is even more attractive. Attention.
When Shen Zixi saw Xue Chen looking at her slightly absent-mindedly, her cheeks turned red and she said angrily: "Xue Chen, what are you looking at? If you look around again, I will dig out your eyes."
Xue Chen then realized that he was a little rude and coughed twice. He took the opportunity to look away and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, seeing you dressed like this, I couldn't help but think of the porcelain from the blue and white official kilns of the Ming Dynasty. It was plump, white and flawless. , so I took a second look, you know, I am very sensitive to these things recently."
Shen Zixi's eyes flashed slightly, and when she heard that Xue Chen actually compared herself to the expensive, rare, and elegant blue and white flowers from the official kiln, her heart couldn't help but ripple, and a sincerely happy smile appeared on her lips.
Next, Shen Zixi led the way, and the two of them arrived at a noodle shop not far from Daxing Pawn Shop. They saw that the black plaque hanging on the door of the shop had the word "Hu Ji" neatly engraved on it.
"Don't forget that this noodle shop is small and inconspicuous, but it is an old shop for more than ten years. When I was a child, my father and I often came here to eat noodles. The taste is very good. Even big hotels can't make such a taste. Only genuine Only old gourmets know this place.”
Xue Chen nodded in agreement, raised his head casually and glanced at the plaque on the door of the store, his eyes suddenly condensed slightly.
Shen Zixi noticed an "Exemption" notice on the door, frowned slightly, and then walked into the store.
Although this Hu Ji Noodle shop is small, with only seven tables, it is very clean and refreshing. At this time, diners were already sitting on four of the tables. The two of them glanced at it. Finally, I chose to sit down at a square table near the kitchen door.
Soon, a young girl wearing an apron and sleeves walked over with light steps, "Sister Zixi, you are here, what noodles are you eating today?"
Xue Chen raised his head and glanced at the girl standing in front of him, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but secretly thought: What a beautiful girl.
The girl dressed as a waiter looks about seventeen or eighteen years old. She is tall and has a round oval face with a straight and delicate nose bridge. Her thin lips are tightly pursed. Her big eyes are as clear as glass under the long eyelashes. She is neatly combed. Wearing a ponytail and very simple clothes, the girl looks even more delicate and pure, like a budding lotus.
Shen Zixi hesitated for a moment and asked: "Yingying, I saw there was a notice on the door saying that there was a withdrawal, what's going on?"
Hu Yingying's face darkened, and there was a bit of mist in her black and white eyes. She lowered her head and said softly: "My mother is sick. She has uterine cancer and needs 200,000 yuan for hospitalization and surgery. I have no choice but to sell the store." Come on, collect the money."
"Ah, aunt has uterine cancer?"
Shen Zixi was taken aback, thought for a moment, and then said: "Yingying, don't be too sad and anxious. Let's do this. I will bring you 50,000 yuan tomorrow for emergency use first."
Hu Yingying bit her lip, shook her head, and said hurriedly: "Sister Zi Xi, how can this be done? I can't use your money, it's not okay."
Shen Zixi grabbed Hu Yingying's little hand, looked at the delicate little face that looked pale and tired, and said with some pity: "When I was young, every time I came to eat noodles, Uncle Hu would always be in my bowl. Adding an extra braised egg, I always remember that I should do this, and I will also help you find a solution for the remaining 150,000 yuan."
Tears burst from Hu Yingying's grateful eyes, dripping down her porcelain-white cheeks like pear blossoms in the rain, which made people feel heartbroken.
At this moment, Xue Chen suddenly spoke, "The remaining 150,000 yuan, I don't think it's a difficult task. It's enough to sell something in the store."
"ah?"
When Shen Zixi and Hu Yingying heard this, they immediately turned to look at Xue Chen with puzzled expressions on their faces.
"Xue Chen, what do you mean by this?" Shen Zixi asked doubtfully.
"That's what it means literally. There is something in this store worth more than 150,000 yuan. As long as you are willing to sell it, you can collect the surgery fee, and you don't have to cash out the noodle shop." Xue Chen was talking. , always looking at Hu Yingying with a smile on her face.
"What items in this shop are worth 150,000? Why didn't I know?"
It was a matter of her mother's life and death. Hu Yingying couldn't help but her thoughts were racing. She quickly scanned the entire noodle shop, but she couldn't find anything that she thought was worth 150,000 yuan.
However, when she noticed that Xue Chen had been looking at her, a thought she had never had before suddenly came to her heart, "Did he mean that I..."
This suspicion that appeared in her heart made her exclaim uncontrollably. She took a step back with a look of confusion on her slightly pale face, like a deer trying to escape in a hurry.
Shen Zixi noticed Hu Yingying's reaction, then looked at Xue Chen, and couldn't help but be vaguely aware of Hu Yingying's suspicion. Suspicion appeared on her delicate face, her eyes flickered with suspicion, and a ball of anger slowly rose in her heart. The tone of his speech also became serious.
"Xue Chen, please speak clearly. What items in this store can sell for 150,000 yuan are related to human lives. Don't make jokes at this time."
Xue Chen blinked and said with a smile: "I'm serious. Although this store is inconspicuous, there is indeed one thing that is very valuable. It has been in this store for more than ten years. As long as you are willing to sell it, there will definitely be many big items. If the boss and wealthy businessman are willing to bid, it can be easily settled for 150,000 yuan. Hey, these days, this thing is becoming more and more rare."
"Having been in the store for more than ten years, big bosses and rich people are vying to bid, and it is becoming more and more rare. Isn't that what I mean...how can he be so shameless!" The more Hu Yingying listened, the more dirty and dirty these words became. She felt deeply humiliated, and her delicate body trembled with anger.
"Snapped!"
Shen Zixi slapped the table hard, stood up suddenly, raised her eyebrows, and looked at Xue Chen with frost on her face: "Xue Chen, how can you say such a thing? What a bad idea is this? I didn't expect you to be so dirty. !”
"You, let me go!"
At some point, an unshaven middle-aged man appeared at the door of the kitchen covered by a white curtain. He was holding a rolling pin in his right hand. His tired face was stained black with anger. He gritted his teeth and pointed at Xue Chen. His left arm was trembling slightly, and his bloodshot eyes stared hatefully.
"Even if I sell my iron or my blood or my kidneys, I, Hu Tieshan, will never sell my daughter!"
"Uncle Hu." Shen Zixi whispered.
"Miss Shen, this is your friend, please leave now!" Hu Tieshan said angrily and sadly.
Hu Tieshan's roar caused other diners in the store to be surprised and look over curiously.
Shen Zixi turned to look at Xue Chen, her eyes full of disappointment, and sighed: "Xue Chen, let's go."
"What? Selling your daughter? Who asked you to sell your daughter?"
Xue Chen was also stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, as if his butt was burned, and he almost jumped up from the chair. At this moment, he realized that what he said and what they thought seemed to be completely different.
"Hey, where are you thinking? Who asked you to sell your daughter? That is illegal. When I said something that can be sold for 150,000 yuan, that's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?" Shen Zixi asked with raised eyebrows.
Xue Chen said dumbfounded: "Miss Shen, you are still the successor of Daxing Pawn Shop. Didn't you notice that the plaque hanging at the door of the store is not an ordinary thing? I said it can sell for 150,000 yuan. That’s what makes money!”
"Selling a daughter, you can imagine it, your imagination is too powerful." Xue Chen was completely speechless, only smiling bitterly.
Xue Chen's words immediately made Hu Tieshan and his daughter a little confused.
He was talking about the plaque hanging at the door, worth 150,000? He was not talking about selling his daughter to a big boss to be his mistress or lover?
Seeing that several people were still a little confused, Xue Chen had no choice but to get up and walk to the door. He pointed at the dirty-looking purple-black plaque hanging above the door frame and faced Shen Zixi, Hu Tieshan, Hu Yingying, and others who followed them out. Several curious diners said:
"It's summer now, and there are the most mosquitoes and flies. But have you noticed that there are very few near noodle shops? This is because this plaque is made of old Indian sandalwood. The sandalwood fragrance it emits has the effect of driving away mosquitoes and flies. ."
"Indian Laoshantan is also a valuable medicinal material, and has very good curative effects on many diseases such as cold qi stagnation, coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, etc."
"It is a rare and valuable craft material. The best quality old sandalwood-polished bracelets and accessories are in short supply in the market. And if I read correctly, these should be cut from an old tree that is more than 80 years old, and their value is even higher. It’s quite expensive.”
After saying this, he looked at Shen Zixi and Hu Tieshan who were almost stunned on the spot. Hu Yingying smiled bitterly and said: "You know now, I'm talking about it. It's worth 150,000, but it's not what you think. I... I am really more unjust than Dou E." (To be continued)
