Ning Junshan put the necklace of colorful gems on Ning Xuanxuan's neck, and the atmosphere in the banquet hall reached a climax. The guests gathered around, watching this warm scene, and applauded one after another.
Ning Jiexiong and Ning Jiede looked on with joyful smiles. Naturally, they both knew the true price of this necklace. Apart from them, only Ning Junshan and Mr. Xun knew about it.
Even Ning Xuanxuan doesn't know.
But the moment Ning Junshan put the colorful gem necklace on Ning Xuanxuan's neck, an accident happened! There was a popping sound, and a white jade bead embedded in the necklace suddenly fell off and flew out.
The direction of the flight was exactly where Mr. Xun was standing. Although Mr. Xun was old, he had sharp eyes and quick hands. He stretched out his hand and caught the jade beads that suddenly shot out. At the same time, his face changed slightly.
one time.
Ning Junshan was surprised, and Ning Jiexiong and Ning Jade were also stunned. The guests at the scene also looked at each other. They didn't expect such an accident to happen. They all secretly thought that the quality of this necklace was a bit too bad.
As soon as I put it on, the jade beads on it flew away, but I didn't understand why Ning Junshan's birthday gift to his granddaughter could be bad. It didn't make sense!
Old Xun held the jade bead in his hand, and naturally knew that this was the Half Life Bead that he sold to the Ning family. He paused slightly, then walked over with a smile, wanting to hand it back to Ning Junshan.
But before he could reach Ning Junshan, Mr. Xun suddenly changed his face and blurted out: "Impossible!"
Wow~!
Mr. Xun's sudden violent reaction shocked all the guests in the banquet hall. Looking at Mr. Xun's face changed drastically, they didn't know what had happened. What was Mr. Xun saying that was impossible?
Ning Jiede immediately walked over to Mr. Xun and asked with concern: "Mr. Xun, what happened?"
Old Xun was holding the Half-Life Pearl in his hand, his whole body was trembling slightly, the look on his face was very shocked, his eyes were shining with surprise, he was still mumbling to himself as if he had not heard Ning Jade's words.
Saying: "How is it possible? It's impossible!"
"Mr. Xun?" Ning Jiede asked again.
Only then did Mr. Xun come back to his senses, but the expression on his face was still very complicated. He whispered something to Ning Jede. Ning Jede's eyes changed quietly, and after nodding, he went over to Ning Junshan and Ning Jede.
Said something.
Just when the guests were all confused, Ning Jade stood up and said with a smile: "Everyone, please enjoy as you like." Then he nodded towards the center of the banquet hall. The female pianist played piano music again, and the guests also
Slowly spread out.
Ning Junshan, Ning Jiexiong, Ning Jade and Mr. Xun all left in a hurry, calling Ning Xuanxuan over as they left.
Xue Chen stood outside the guests and saw a few people leaving. He held his chin with one hand and lowered his head slightly. There was deep thought in his eyes. He felt that Mr. Xun's reaction just now seemed a bit strange. What happened?
Amidst the beautiful piano music, some men and women danced in the middle of the field. Xue Chen found a corner and sat down casually. On the other side, several young men and women gathered with Xu Ming as the center.
Xu Ming sank into the sofa, holding a wine glass in one hand and shaking it gently, his face looking very ugly.
Zeng Yulong, who was sitting aside, asked Xu Liang in a low voice: "A-Liang, what's wrong with Mr. Ming?"
Xu Liang replied with some displeasure: "My brother gave Miss Ning a 3 million jade bracelet. I expected Miss Ning to wear it at the banquet, but she didn't expect to wear a broken jade bracelet given by Xue Chen."
."
"Oh, that's it." When Zeng Yulong heard the name Xue Chen, his face was full of disgust.
Ning Yuan curled his lips: "Who knows what my sister is thinking about why she looks at that Xue Chen in a different light? I saw that bracelet, and it looked like a street vendor. Fortunately, my sister is usually pretty good to him, and the birthday gift she gave him turned out to be...
So shabby.”
Listening to the discussions of several people around him, Xu Ming's eyes became more and more gloomy.
In another lounge next to the banquet hall, Mr. Xun and Ning Junshan were sitting together, with Ning Jiexiong and Ning Jade accompanying them. Ning Xuanxuan's face showed doubts and confusion, not knowing what was going on.
"Mr. Xun, you asked us to come together in a hurry. What happened?" Ning Junshan asked with some confusion.
Mr. Xun opened his palm, took out the half-life pearl that had just bounced to his hand and was caught by him, and placed it in front of Ning Junshan: "Mr. Ning, what I want to say is related to it."
"With it?"
Ning Junshan, father and son, were still puzzled, and Ning Xuanxuan was even more confused.
"Mr. Ning, pick it up and walk towards Miss Ning. Then you will know what I am talking about." Mr. Xun turned his head and glanced at Ning Xuanxuan, the look in his eyes flickering.
Ning Junshan nodded when he heard the words, stood up, picked up the Half-Life Bead in front of him, and walked towards Ning Xuanxuan. When he was still two meters away, he paused in his steps and his face was filled with tears.
Showing surprise, he turned to Mr. Xun and asked, "How could this happen?"
"Dad, what's wrong?" Ning Jiexiong and Ning Jade both stood up.
Ning Junshan didn't say anything, but motioned for both of them to try what he had just done. When both Ning brothers picked up the Half-Life Bead and walked to Ning Xuanxuan's side, their expressions became surprised and suspicious.
"Grandpa, uncle, and third uncle, what happened?" Ning Xuanxuan was completely confused when she saw the actions of the four people.
Mr. Xun looked over and said, "Miss Ning, it's okay to tell you now. The necklace Mr. Ning gave you is not an ordinary necklace. I wonder if you have heard of the Half-Life Bead."
"Half Life Bead?" Ning Xuanxuan frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded: "I have probably heard about a precious magic weapon that Mr. Xun made not long ago."
"Yes, I made a Half-Life Bead, which was bought by Mr. Ning. It was this jade bead that bounced out from the necklace." Mr. Xun pointed at the Half-Life Bead that returned to Ning Junshan's hand.
Zhu, sighed, "I originally didn't plan to sell it, but Mr. Ning came to discuss it with me in person with sincerity, so I agreed."
Ning Xuanxuan's eyes turned red, she looked at her octogenarian grandfather, and said movedly: "Grandpa..."
"And what I want to say is that this Half Life Pearl is repelling you. The closer it is to you, the greater the repulsion force is. This is why it suddenly bounces out."
"Mr.
"Yes, Mr. Xun, I also want to know why such a thing happened?" Ning Junshan asked with a frown.
Seeing everyone looking at him and asking for the reason, Mr.
Let me know the reason."
"What's the reason?" Ning Jade couldn't help but sit up straight.
"That's..." Mr. Xun paused, and looked at Ning Xuanxuan with incredible brilliance in his eyes, "That's because Miss Ning is already wearing another Half-Life Pearl. This is the only explanation!"
"How is this possible?!" When Ning Jiexiong and Ning Jade heard the answer, they were all shocked and looked at Ning Xuanxuan in disbelief.
Even Ning Junshan's face was shocked: "Another half-life pearl?"
"Yes, I once asked Mr. Wang jokingly what would be the effect if one person wore two Half-Life Pearls. Mr. Wang told me that he once owned two Half-Life Pearls at the same time, and when two Half-Life Pearls were worn by one person,
If the Half-Life Pearls appear together, they will be mutually exclusive, so a person can only have one Half-Life Pearl on his body." Mr. Xun said in a hurried tone.
Ning Jiede shook his head and said, still finding it hard to believe: "Mr.
"It's really hard for me to believe it, but this is the only explanation." Mr. Xun breathed a sigh of relief and asked Ning Xuanxuan with a solemn expression, "Miss Ning, do you have jade beads similar to those in your grandfather's hands?"
Ning Xuanxuan glanced at the jade bead, which was a very ordinary jade bead. Her heart moved and she blurted out: "Yes!"
"Take it out quickly and show it to me!" Xun Lao said anxiously.
Ning Junshan also said at the same time: "Xuanxuan, take it out and show it to us."
Ning Xuanxuan raised her left hand and took off the jade bead bracelet on her wrist. She walked over and placed it in front of her grandfather and Mr. Xun. She felt a little confused and even more nervous.
Mr. Xun grabbed it in his hand and rubbed the dozen or so jade beads embedded in the jade bead bracelet one by one. When he touched one of them, his body trembled, his face suddenly changed, and he blurted out: "It's this one, the same."
It’s the Half Life Pearl!”
Ning Jiexiong and Ning Jiede were so shocked that they stood up from their chairs and looked at the jade bead bracelet. Their eyes widened with incredulous expressions on their faces.
"Xuanxuan, this bracelet?" Ning Junshan asked solemnly.
When Ning Xuanxuan heard that there was a half-life bead in the bracelet, her heart went crazy. When her grandfather asked, she murmured, "It's a birthday gift from Xue Chen."
"Xue Chen?"
"Xue Chen!"
"It's him……"
Upon hearing Ning Xuanxuan's return, the other four people present were shocked for a moment, and the expressions on their faces became particularly exciting.
"Xue Chen, this is his birthday gift to you. How is this possible?" Ning Jade's eyes flashed with surprise, "Where did he get this half-life bead? How could he give it to Xuanxuan?"
"It's him, it's him!" Mr. Xun's whole body trembled, and he recognized that this jade bead was the last one left for Xue Chen after the transaction. Unknowingly, his face was full of tears.
