Kwon Ilsen stared at the page, his gaze burning a hole in the paper.
He knew that Fides Auction House wouldn't ruin their reputation. If they hadn't confirmed that it was authentic, they wouldn't have put it up for auction. Naturally, he couldn't let this necklace fall into someone else's hands.
His handsome face was cold as he ordered, "Book me the fastest flight. I want to buy this necklace personally."
His mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts.
Why did Li Xiao sell this necklace? Was she forced to do it? Or did someone steal her necklace? Was it Li Qianfei?
For a moment, all kinds of conspiracy theories appeared in his mind. The more he thought about it, the colder his body became.
He decided to look for Li Xiao after school started and ask her this question personally. If she wasn't happy in that home, then he would definitely protect her and make her smile brightly in his memory again.
Li Qianfei, who Kwon Ilsen was silently holding a grudge against, couldn't help but sneeze.
Li Qianfei also came back from university today. She applied for the best university in S City, Azure University. It was ranked sixth in the country, even better than Li Xiao's alma mater. Unlike Li Xiao, who got into the university with a building donated by her family, Li Qianfei relied on her own abilities to get into the university. After the college entrance examination admission notice came out, the netizens praised her for being both talented and beautiful. She was worlds apart from Li Xiao, that idiot beauty. Azure University was near Namkang University, where Li Xiao studied. This was also the reason why she applied for this university. As long as she was close to Li Xiao, Li Xiao would never be able to get rid of her radiance.
It was supposed to be like this … Why did everything change?
Li Qianfei showed a pained expression.
In the past, she loved to go to school and enjoy the envious gazes of everyone. But now, she was like a drowning dog. Wherever she went, people would shout at her. She couldn't stand the looks of disdain, and she didn't want to stand under the hot sun and participate in the freshmen's military training activities. Therefore, before she entered the university, she spent money to find a doctor and got a medical certificate to avoid the first-year military training.
The sun had been so hot recently. What if she got tanned? She had to appear in front of Kwon Ilsen in her most perfect state.
Thinking of Kwon Ilsen, the painful expression on Li Qianfei's face faded away and was replaced by a sweet smile.
Just as she had hoped, he had come to Hua Nation. She had also heard that he had deliberately released the news that he was looking for her. He even became an exchange student at Namkang University.
Everything was going according to her expectations. If it was Li Xiao who had the necklace, knew the story, and met Kwon Ilsen with her own eyes, she would definitely pretend to be Kwon Ilsen's savior.
Even if she could pretend for a while, she couldn't pretend for a lifetime. On the day she was exposed, Li Xiao would be angered by Kwon Ilsen. She would end up in a miserable state, just like her in the dream.
The dream appeared in front of her eyes. The smile on Li Qianfei's face disappeared, and a trace of fear flashed through her eyes.
When she was seven years old, she had a dream. In the dream, she knew that Li Xiao had saved Kwon Ilsen when she was young. She stole her necklace, ran to Kwon Ilsen, and told him that she was the little girl who had saved him.
At first, she succeeded in making Kwon Ilsen believe her. But good things didn't last long. Kwon Ilsen soon found out the truth and recognized Li Xiao.
In the dream, her reputation was ruined. Kwon Ilsen took revenge on her ruthlessly. She couldn't even find the lowest job. In the end, she chose to become a rich man's mistress. In the end, in order to avoid being caught in the act, she hid outside the window and fell to her death.
The dream was so vivid that it left a deep impression on her. When she was eight years old, she met Kwon Ilsen before Li Xiao did. She was kidnapped with him, and finally became his savior. All of these experiences made her believe in the dream without a doubt. She felt that it was a precognitive dream. And she had successfully rewritten her own destiny. She even had the luck that she had always dreamed of.
When she first saw Kwon Ilsen, she fell in love with him. She didn't hate Kwon Ilsen. She only hated Li Xiao. If it wasn't for her, Kwon Ilsen wouldn't have been so cruel to her in the dream. He had clearly been gentle and considerate to her.
At least now, the person who had saved Kwon Ilsen was her, not Li Xiao. As long as Li Xiao dared to pretend to be her, then Li Xiao would definitely experience the pain she had experienced in the dream.
In her heart, Li Xiao definitely wouldn't be able to refuse this temptation. Who would have the heart to refuse Kwon Ilsen?
Once she became Madam Quan, all those who had slandered her and hurt her would once again crawl at her feet.
Thinking about how she would soon meet Kwon Ilsen, her white cheeks turned pink.

When Li Xiao returned home from the Ghost City, it was already six o 'clock in the morning. Tonight, she had purchased a lot of things, making her exceptionally satisfied. Cold iron soaked in the blood of a thousand years old Great Demon, extremely pure cinnabar, coffin boards, and even a piece of snake skin that could resist a certain amount of magic. As for the other basic materials like yellow paper, she had also replenished a batch.
Because most of the vendors were more inclined to barter, Li Xiao couldn't bear to exchange all of her luck, so she used her own talismans to buy them. Fortunately, her talismans were of high quality, so those vendors were willing to do business with her. Tomorrow night, she would have to go back again to buy a higher quality plank from the red zombie.
In this way, Li Xiao had squandered almost all of her stock, leaving only a few pieces. This was under the premise that Cang Hai helped her bargain. She had to admit that Cang Hai looked gentle and harmless on the outside, but his bargaining skills were very good.
For example, the Cold Iron that she liked very much, he helped Li Xiao cut down from five strands of Virtuous Energy to two strands. He cut down the vendor until his face was full of tears, and he hated that he couldn't immediately pack up and leave.
Because the other party helped her save a lot of money, Li Xiao's impression of him was still quite good. But after a night, she still couldn't see through Cang Hai's specific background. However, the other party's breath was clean, so he obviously wasn't that kind of Evil Demon.
She took out the yellow paper and cinnabar, and continued to draw talismans. Because this batch of materials was better, the quality of the talismans was also higher.
After finishing, Li Xiao, who was extremely sleepy, went to rest.
Before school started, she finally managed to create her own weapon. The coffin of the red zombie's father was directly made into a wooden stick by her, and it was inlaid with dragon scales that could absorb luck. Li Xiao also used the Cold Iron to cut the snake skin, and wrapped the wooden stick.
This thing couldn't be casually touched by people. If an ordinary person touched it and didn't get rid of it in time, they would gradually turn into a corpse, and finally become the lowest level of zombies.
Li Xiao wouldn't casually take out this thing.
When people were busy, time passed very quickly. Soon, it was the first day of school, and Li Xiao officially experienced the so-called university life. When the original owner was a freshman, she often skipped class and rarely interacted with her classmates, so even if her personality changed a little, no one noticed it.
What Li Xiao had thought of beforehand, such as adding insult to injury, did not exist. Her classmates' attitude towards her was very normal and polite. At most, the teacher looked at her a few times during roll call because she didn't skip class for several days.
Li Xiao thought about it and understood the reason. Although the Li Clan was relatively down and out, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Lê Nam Giệu was still a rich person in many people's eyes. Li Xiao's casual bag could be worth more than an ordinary person's annual salary.
This was also very good, she could also enjoy a peaceful university life. Since she wasn't familiar with her classmates, Li Xiao usually ate lunch with Jiang Tiantian. Jiang Tiantian didn't like to talk, giving people a feeling that he wasn't easy to get along with. But when Li Xiao thought that she was a reader of Sparrow Spirit, she felt that she was full of contrasting cuteness.
What surprised her was that Jiang Tiantian and Kwon Ilsen were in the same class, but she hadn't seen him even once in the past few days.
In response to her doubts, Jiang Tiantian explained: "I heard from my mom that he went to the Fides auction."
Li Xiao immediately thought of her necklace that was going to be auctioned. Oh, Kwon Ilsen wouldn't really be going to auction this necklace, right?
Even if the other party came to find her, she wouldn't be afraid. This necklace was originally given to her by Li Qianfei, she was free to do whatever she wanted with it.
Facts proved that her guess was right.
That night, the Chiang Dynasty called her and told her about it. Kwon Ilsen finally bought the necklace with a high price of 2.8 billion. After deducting the handling fee, Li Xiao received 2.66 billion.
Li Xiao pondered for a moment and said: "Donate this money to charity."
【Are you sure? This isn't a small amount.】
Li Xiao said with certainty: "Donate it, I'm not short of money right now."
Her daily expenses were covered by Lê Nam Giệu, and she hadn't even spent the one billion that Ren Xiaotang gave her, let alone those assets. So Li Xiao really wasn't short of money. Of course, she wouldn't squander the money that belonged to the original owner.
Well, I'll just treat it as accumulating merit for myself. Anyway, even if she spent all her money, she could still make money quickly.
After making this decision, Li Xiao put this matter to the back of her mind.
The necklace was already back in Kwon Ilsen's hands, could he still come to her?
****
Facts proved that one couldn't be too stubborn, otherwise, one would be slapped in the face.
When Li Xiao entered the school on Friday morning, she noticed the changes in the school. The entire school was filled with the fragrance of roses, and as far as the eye could see, it was a sea of roses.
Corolla, Blue Enchantress, Ocean Song, Champagne Roses … all kinds of delicate roses dazzled her eyes. The original flowers on the school campus had disappeared and were replaced by these expensive looking roses.
Li Xiao slightly frowned. Roses were beautiful, but they were all roses, and she was tired of looking at them. It turned out that although the flowers in the school were not expensive varieties, they were well taken care of. They were colorful and beautiful, and were a pleasing scenery to look at.
The surrounding people's discussion drifted into her ears.
"I heard that these roses were all flown in from abroad last night."
"That must be a lot of money, isn't he afraid of going bankrupt?"
"He's a rich man in the world, this little bit of money is nothing."
"Kwon Ilsen must be so rich to chase after a girl with such a big lineup. I wonder which lucky person is going to fly to the branch and become a phoenix? "
Li Xiao's eyelids jumped. What was Kwon Ilsen trying to do? Chase after someone? Did he go to the wrong school? Even if he wanted to chase after someone, he should go to the school next door to chase after Li Qianfei. That was his true love.
She lifted her foot to walk towards the school building, but a low voice made her stop.
In the morning light, Kwon Ilsen slowly walked towards her, holding a necklace in his hand. The necklace shone brightly under the sunlight.
Li Xiao silently looked at Kwon Ilsen, and in her mind, she couldn't help but think of the novels that the sparrow spirit used to bring back from the bottom of the mountain. According to the content of the novels, some CEOs, in order to take revenge on other women, would deliberately make them fall in love with them, and then heartlessly abandon them.
Although when she read the novels, she often complained that this method of revenge was stupid, but she didn't rule out the possibility that some people really thought this method was great. Could it be that Kwon Ilsen found out that she was the one who auctioned the necklace? So he wanted to take revenge on her? Other than that, she couldn't think of any other reason why he wanted to chase after her.
Of course, she wouldn't fall for this trick!
