Li Qianfei seemed to have come here just to give her the necklace. After the necklace was delivered to Li Xiao, she left as if she had accomplished something important.
Li Xiao played with the necklace. She didn't feel any curse from it. It looked like an ordinary necklace, except that it was a little expensive and beautiful. Of course, she didn't think that Li Qianfei was sincere in giving her a gift as compensation.
She took out her phone and video-called Ewen to ask how much the necklace could be sold for.
Ewen video-called her.
Ewen couldn't hide her excitement on the screen. "How did you get this necklace?"
Li Xiao said, "What's so special about it?"
Ewen said, "This necklace appeared 132 years ago. The Quan family bought it at a high price. The current market price is at least 2 billion, and there's no supply. It's said that this necklace will be passed down to every female owner of the Quan family. "
"You were proposed to by the eldest young master of the Quan family? He's back in the country? When did you meet? "
A series of questions were thrown at Li Xiao. Li Xiao rarely saw Ewen so emotional. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "The Quan family?"
She suddenly remembered that the sparrow spirit seemed to have mentioned that the sequel to "The CEO's Wife" was called "Young Master Quan's Wife". The female lead was Li Qianfei, and the male lead was Kwon Il-sen. Unfortunately, the sparrow spirit didn't read the book. She only read the introduction.
She glanced at the sparrow spirit. It didn't read what it should, but read a bunch of novels that it shouldn't.
Ewen directly told her about the Quan family. The Quan family was one of the aristocratic families in China. They had survived for thousands of years. When China was at its most unstable, they left China and went to Country Y, where they were doing well. Fifty years ago, they were even conferred the title of Marquis because of their contributions. All in all, the Quan family could be said to be noble. Although the Li Clan was very rich, in front of the Quan Clan, they were suddenly the so-called nouveau riche.
Li Xiao suddenly understood. "So that's how it is."
Ewen: "How did you get this necklace? Could it be a counterfeit? "
Li Xiao felt that the one in her hand should be the real deal.
She smiled faintly. "The Quan family has returned to China?"
Ewen said, "There was news about this two months ago. It's said that they're going to start a company in China. We don't know the details." Ewen had some connections in the entertainment industry, but when it came to the upper class, those connections were not enough. She had only vaguely heard some rumors.
"That necklace of yours should be a counterfeit. The Quan Family would never let such a precious item fall into the hands of others. It's best that you don't wear it on a regular basis, lest others see it and laugh at you. But I'm just telling you for nothing. With your personality, you definitely won't like wearing this kind of fake. "
After receiving information about the necklace, Li Xiao hung up the phone with satisfaction. She began to search for information about the Quan Clan. There was not much information about the Quan Clan on the internet, only a few pieces. She searched for a long time, but in the end, she only found a photo from 14 years ago. At that time, the young Mrs. Quan was wearing this necklace to promote her identity as a United Nations Ambassador of Peace.
Li Xiao's lips curled up. Interesting.
The sparrow spirit stopped typing and asked her excitedly, "This necklace should be real, right?"
Li Xiao said, "Li Qianfei probably wouldn't send a fake over." She just didn't know what the other party was going to do with the necklace.
"Is there anything special about Li Qianfei himself?" Compared to the necklace, the sparrow spirit was more interested in this matter. The sparrow spirit couldn't tell. It was just lucky that it had taken the pill to gain intelligence. It didn't have any cultivation.
Li Xiao closed the Third Eye that she had opened for Li Qianfei. She rubbed her temples to relieve the faint tiredness. "She has a lot of luck."
It was the first time she had seen someone with such a strong luck. No wonder she could find imperial jade in just a random stone.
She pondered for a moment and said, "But the luck is too messy and chaotic. It obviously doesn't belong to her." She didn't know what method she used to steal other people's luck, and it was the luck of a lot of people. Li Xiao wasn't envious. Stealing from others would have to be returned sooner or later. Everything had its own destiny.
The sparrow spirit asked, "Then can you cut off her luck?"
Li Xiao was silent. This time, she was silent for a long time.
The sparrow spirit's IQ came online for once. "I see. That means you can't do it! I thought you were omnipotent! "
Li Xiao's eyes suddenly became dangerous. "The weather is annoying and I have no appetite. I think a spicy grilled sparrow would be very appetizing."
Little girl! She lived in her territory and ate her food, but she still dared to undermine her! Did she think that her temper was too good? Besides, she wasn't a god. How could she be good at everything? She was good at talismans! As for luck, feng shui, and other things, she only knew the basics.
The sparrow spirit's feathers instantly stood up. The entire bird lay on the ground, showing a lying position. "I was wrong!!!!"
Li Xiao's mood improved a lot after she taught the recently arrogant sparrow spirit a lesson. She put the necklace away. She was going to find a time to auction this necklace! According to Ewen, this necklace was worth at least two billion. No matter what Li Qianfei was scheming, when the necklace wasn't in her hands, what else could he do to her?
Li Xiao couldn't help but sigh. "Li Qianfei is really a good person."
He had just returned to China, and he was already giving her money. And it was such a large sum of money. This kind of thing wasn't something that could be accepted by just any auction house. She looked around and could only go through the world's largest auction house, Fides Auction House. The convenience of this auction house was that if one was a member, they could choose not to disclose their identity. The requirements to become a member were also quite strict. One had to be rich or noble.
Of course, Li Xiao couldn't be a member, but she knew who could be a member. She silently found the Chiang Dynasty's phone number. After all, she couldn't ask Lê Nam Giệu to help her auction this thing.
I'm counting on you, Chiang Dynasty boss!
****
Compared to the last time they met, the Chiang Dynasty's attitude was more gentle this time. He no longer treated Li Xiao as a junior, but as an equal.
"Thanks to your reminder, Tiantian is fine."
After being reminded by Li Xiao, she hurriedly made an appointment for her daughter to have a full body checkup. In the end, there was a problem. She found a tumor in the lungs. Because the checkup was timely, it didn't deteriorate into lung cancer. The Chiang Dynasty had a lingering fear when thinking about this. She only had this one daughter all these years. If something really happened to Tiantian, she …
Li Xiao smiled. "It's good that I can help you." She took out the necklace that Li Qianfei gave her.
When the Chiang Dynasty saw the necklace, his expression changed. He obviously recognized it. "How did you get this necklace?"
Li Xiao said, "Someone gave it to me."
The Chiang Dynasty's gaze never left the necklace. "This necklace is the Quan family's heirloom. I heard some rumors that the current head of the Quan family returned to China this time to find this necklace. Whoever can get this necklace will be able to do the Quan family a favor. "
Li Xiao asked her, "Can a favor be exchanged for two billion immediately?"
The Chiang Dynasty's mouth twitched. Many people wanted to do the Quan family a favor, but they couldn't get it even if they wanted it. How could they use money to measure it?
Li Xiao said, "I hope you can help me auction this thing at Fides' autumn auction."
This was a small matter for the Chiang Dynasty. She quickly agreed.
She smiled faintly. "You really don't need a favor from the Quan family?"
This necklace was obviously given by Li Qianfei. When the time came, the favor would belong to Li Qianfei, and he wouldn't be able to give her any benefits. So she might as well sell it and get a sum of money.
She thought for a moment and said, "If you know someone who wants to buy the Li Clan's shares, I can sell it. It's 10% higher than the market price."
The Chiang Dynasty looked at the calm face of the girl in front of him and couldn't help but sigh. This young lady of the Li Clan didn't seem to have any feelings for the Li Clan. If these shares fell into the hands of other shareholders of the Li Clan, it would very likely threaten Lê Nam Giệu's position in the company.
This was also a favor, so she didn't hesitate to agree. She said, "You and my Tiantian are about the same age. You can get to know each other when you have time."
In the eyes of the outside world, Li Xiao had lost her previous status. They were chasing after the twins born by Chan Ka-yin. But in the eyes of the Chiang Dynasty, she had more investment value than the other two. Plus, she didn't like Chan Ka-yin, so he was happy to be on good terms with Li Xiao.
Li Xiao recalled Jiang Tiantian's face and nodded slightly. "Okay."
They were both cannon fodder, so they should get along well.
She was in a good mood and decided to go back to the old mansion to have a meal and see if there was a good show to watch.
****
The magnificent villa was brightly lit. A figure stood in front of the window, holding a wine glass in his hand. His posture was elegant.
The man was Kwon Il-sen, the current head of the Quan family. His face was handsome and flawless. Every perfect outline of his face made people feel that God was too partial to him. His deep eyes were darker than the night, as if he was immersed in some kind of memory.
After a moment, he sighed softly. His handsome face was shrouded in a faint tiredness.
He had been searching for his angel for many years, but he still couldn't find any clues.
Ten years ago, he was kidnapped with a young girl. In order to save him, the young girl led the other pursuers away by herself. She was obviously more delicate and cute than anyone else, but she was braver and kinder than anyone else.
Before she left, her brilliant smile was deeply engraved in his heart. It hadn't faded after all these years.
"Don't be afraid. I'm the Goddess of Luck. Nothing will happen to me!"
He gave her his necklace and made a promise to her. He swore that he would save her and repay her. She bit his arm and said that it was the protection left by the Goddess of Luck.
But when he used his family's power to find the kidnappers again, he didn't find her. He only heard that the girl had successfully escaped. He tried his best to find her, but all these years, it was in vain. He never gave up until three months ago. He found a master and paid a hefty price to have him perform a divination for him. The divination showed that the person he was looking for was in S City in Hua Nation.
Kwon Il-sen immediately returned to Hua Nation and spread the news. Others thought that the Quan family had accidentally lost the necklace. Only he knew that he simply wanted to find the owner of the necklace.
Time had made this feeling settle down. This memory was like a piece of gold that shone brightly. It wasn't until his mother mentioned that she wanted to set up a marriage contract for him that he couldn't help but think of that smile that was brighter than the sun. Only then did he realize that he had fallen in love with her. He had fallen in love with that kind and brave girl.
This time, I'll find you no matter what, my angel.
A hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
