Wang Dong turned around and waved to the spectators: "It's time to go."
Seeing that there was no excitement to watch, everyone quickly dispersed.
Wang Hongmei saw all this completely. When she thought of what happened back then, Wang Hongmei felt a little unnatural and embarrassed, because a large part of the reason for the breakup of the two people was her strong opposition.
But no matter what, Xue Chen and the two helped her solve a big trouble, so she forced a smile and said to them: "Thank you both, I am lucky to have your help today, otherwise..."
"Auntie, it's just a small matter." Wang Dong said with a smile and retreated behind Xue Chen with great discernment.
Xue Chen looked at Luo Bing and Wang Hongmei and said slowly: "Aunt Wang, Xiaobing, I didn't expect to meet you here."
"Yes, what a coincidence." Luo Bing said softly.
When she saw Xue Chen again without any preparation, she felt very confused and didn't know what to say. Her emotions were also very complicated, including joy, hesitation, and pain.
Wang Hongmei led Luo Bing away immediately, but she didn't know what to say. Suddenly, she recalled the scene at Zhengda International, her mind changed, and she said: "Xue Chen, what did you say a few days ago?"
Did you go to the Zhengda International Furniture Store? I saw a person who looked very much like you."
Xue Chen didn't think much and nodded: "I went to Zhengda International a few days ago, it should be me."
"Oh, are you going to buy furniture?" Wang Hongmei stared at Xue Chen and asked.
"Um."
"Buy it for yourself?" Wang Hongmei asked again.
Wang Dong smiled on the side and said: "Auntie, what you are asking is, if you don't buy it for yourself, who will you buy it for?"
Wang Hongmei said calmly: "Ah, I just want to ask."
Wang Dong has also been in the antiques circle for a year, and his eyesight has been developed for a long time. He can tell what kind of person Wang Hongmei is at a glance.
Moreover, Xue Chen also told Wang Dong that the reason for breaking up with Luo Bing was because Luo Bing's parents looked down upon Xue Chen as a poor boy who came from the countryside. He came to Haicheng City without a car, a house, or a good job.
Beat the mandarin ducks with a stick.
Seeing that Wang Hongmei was so concerned about whether Xue Chen had bought furniture at Zhengda International, Wang Dong suddenly understood that this was a roundabout way of asking how Xue Chen was doing now.
Thinking of this, Wang Dong thought to himself, if I make you look down on Lao Xue, I will make you regret it and not be able to eat!
He coughed and said casually: "Xue Chen bought a house in Jinguan City, but there was no furniture, so he went to Zhengda International."
Wang Dong's words immediately stirred up waves in Wang Hongmei's heart. The expression on her face changed slightly and she said, "I heard that houses in Jinguan City are very expensive."
"It's not bad. A 120-square-meter house plus a full set of furniture will only cost more than three million." Seeing that Wang Hongmei was interested in asking, Wang Dong followed suit.
Xue Chen didn't pay attention to what Wang Dong was talking to Wang Hongmei. All his attention was on Luo Bing. Luo Bing was the same. The two of them stood a few steps apart in silence, feeling that they had a lot to say.
, but I don’t know where to start.
Wang Hongmei was shocked by the words she "took" from Wang Dong's mouth. She didn't expect that Xue Chen was doing so well now and could afford a house of 120 square meters. It was really unbelievable.
She glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw Xue Chen and her daughter standing face to face. She pursed her lips and whispered to Wang Dong: "Are you Xue Chen's friend?"
"Yes, we are closer than brothers."
"I just heard you say that you opened an antique shop? So what is Xue Chen doing now?"
"His current job is the chief appraiser of Daxing Pawn Shop, the largest pawn shop in Haicheng City. In addition, he and I open an antique shop together, each holding a half share."
"The antique shop's business should be very good."
"It's not bad. I can make a profit of six to seven hundred thousand a month now." Wang Dong said casually.
Upon hearing this, Wang Hongmei immediately made a calculation in her mind: "Even if it is 600,000, each person can get 300,000, 300,000 a month, more than 3 million a year?"
While Wang Hongmei was making calculations, Wang Dong said again: "Whether it is working as an appraiser or running an antique shop, it is only part of Lao Xue's income. Just a while ago, he spent 400,000 to buy a piece of raw jadeite, which he cut.
Jade, I made more than 6 million in one resale, I am so envious... tsk tsk."
Wang Hongmei covered her mouth and shouted in surprise: "Ah, more than six million? Really?"
"Of course it's true. Hey, this guy is very capable. He can easily get hundreds of thousands with just one move. How else would he be able to buy a car worth more than 700,000 yuan and get a house in Jinguan City?"
.”
Although Wang Dong was telling Wang Hongmei, he admired Xue Chen's ability in his heart because what he said was true!
Wang Hongmei and Wang Dong chatted for a while longer, glanced at Xue Chen with complicated eyes, and said to Luo Bing: "Xiao Bing, please wait for mom here. Mom is going to burn incense and will be back soon."
After saying that, he smiled at Xue Chen and nodded, then walked towards the Cicada Temple.
Wang Dong also said loudly at the right time: "Old Xue, wait for me, I'll go to the toilet." After saying that, he turned and walked away.
"There are people coming and going here, let's go over there." Xue Chen pointed to a locust tree in front of the temple and said.
"Okay." Luo Bing nodded.
The two of them stood under the shade of a tree, and Luo Bing asked softly: "How are you lately?"
"I'm fine, what about you, what are you doing now?" Xue Chen asked.
"I am now working as a dance teacher in a dance school, and my life is quite fulfilling every day." Luo Bing said lightly.
"I remember that your right foot was sprained and it hurt when you danced for a long time. Has it hurt recently?" Xue Chen asked.
Luo Bing majored in dance in college, which is what Xue Chen envied most among his classmates. He found a girlfriend from the dance department who not only has a good figure, but is also beautiful.
"There are not many lessons, and I also pay attention to protection, so there is no more pain." Luo Bing's eyes were shining, and she looked at Xue Chen and replied.
The two of them stood under the shade of the tree, talking to each other, caring about each other's life in the past period, and they could both feel the other's deep concern for them.
"I should say I'm sorry to you. I shouldn't have argued with you at that time." Xue Chen said and sighed deeply.
When he met Luo Bing's family for the first time after graduation, he was hurt by the condescending attitude of Luo Bing's parents. He was also very irrational at the time and had a quarrel with Luo Bing, which also led to the breakdown of their relationship.
Luo Bing shook his head: "I don't blame you. It's because I didn't understand your mood. I only looked at things from my own perspective. It's because I was too willful."
The two looked at each other. Although they were no longer a couple, at this moment, their hearts seemed to be closer than before.
After Wang Hongmei burned incense and walked out of the Main Hall, she felt a little confused. She didn't expect that Xue Chen, who had just graduated from college for a year, was prospering in Haicheng. He owned a high-end residential building and bought a car.
If she could foresee this day, how could she object so strongly to her own industry?
"I have to talk to her father when I get back." With this thought in mind, Wang Hongmei walked towards the outside of the temple.
After the four of them met, Wang Hongmei was about to take Luo Bing down the mountain. Wang Dong suggested that Xue Chen drive him off. Seeing that Xue Chen had no objection, Wang Hongmei agreed.
"Xue Chen, I'm really troubling you." Wang Hongmei said.
She felt very lucky to have met Xue Chen, who not only helped solve a problem, but also saved dozens of dollars in taxi fares. Moreover, this car was more comfortable to sit in than a taxi.
"It's not troublesome." Xue Chen sent the two of them downstairs in the community.
After getting out of the car, Luo Bing looked at Xue Chen through the car window for a few seconds, smiled and raised his hand and waved. Xue Chen smiled and nodded.
"Old Xue, is the sound of the waves still there?" Wang Dong asked with a smile after the car started moving.
"Dongzi, what did you say?" Xue Chen said.
"What I mean is, is there any possibility of your old relationship rekindling with Luo Bing? I looked in the rearview mirror all the way, and I saw that she was staring at you all the way. It seemed that she still had you in her heart. Moreover, Luo Bing's
That mother, I can see clearly, is someone who dislikes poverty and loves wealth. Now that you are considered a successful person, you should not object anymore." Wang Dong said seriously.
Xue Chen shook his head: "Things are not that simple. Even if her mother thinks highly of me now, if someone richer than me pursues Luo Bing tomorrow, she may change her mind. What's more, Luo Bing and I broke up
It’s been almost a year, and my state of mind has also undergone some changes, so let everything take its course.”
After seeing off Wang Dong, Xue Chen drove back home. He put Luo Bing's matter in his heart for the time being. After locking the door, he entered the bedroom and took out the ancient jade.
"Sure enough, something has changed again."
This is the fourth time that the ancient jade has been filled with spiritual energy, and it has once again undergone some changes. After absorbing the spiritual energy for the first three times, the originally dark ancient jade has turned into gray-white.
But now, the color has become much lighter again, and the jade has become more transparent. When illuminated by the light, the ancient jade seems to be wrapped in a ball of liquid, shining with a strange luster, making the surface complex.
The runes are also more mysterious.
Although he has had three experiences, Xue Chen is still a little nervous and expectant. He wants to know what kind of changes Gu Yu will bring to him this time.
He closed his eyes and grasped the ancient jade with his right hand. In an instant, the warm breath quickly surged out and poured into his body, making him feel an indescribable numbness and comfort all over his body, almost making him drowsy.
My eyes also began to burn, getting hotter and hotter, as if a ball of fire was burning, but it didn't feel particularly painful and was within the tolerance range.
The whole process lasted for more than ten minutes. The first thing Xue Chen did when he opened his eyes was to touch his face. Seeing that there was no more blood and tears like last time, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. (To be continued)
