On the flat road of the airport, an electric flatbed was driving slowly.
On the flat road, there was a statue. The statue was about the height of a human, light green, with different shades of color. The golden sun shone on it, and a warm light surrounded it.
It was a jade statue, one that was almost as tall as a human.
The statue was carefully carved from a whole piece of jade. Most of it was an ordinary jade, but on the head, shoulders, back, hands, and feet, there were light purple sparkles. These were some very valuable violet jades. They were embellished like jewelry, adding more brilliance to the statue.
Looking at the shining jade statue, Sophie was fascinated and murmured, "My God, oh no, my Holy Mother, this is the glory of the Holy Mother!"
When the flatbed came closer, Sophie's eyes widened. She saw the statue's face clearly. It was a beautiful smile and beautiful eyes. It was carefully carved according to her appearance!
Sophie stared at the statue and did not make a sound for a long time.
Li Du took her hand, knelt on one knee, and held up a small box. "Sophie Martin, will you marry me? If you do, we can get married right away. If you don't, then think about it. You should be willing. "
Sophie stared at him blankly, a little dazed for a moment.
There was laughter from the side. "Wow, so happy!" "Marry him! Marry him! "" Sophie, wake up, say yes, say yes! "
Sophie turned her head and looked around. Her parents, Mr. Lee's parents, Bell, Magic Hand, and the other treasure hunters, Hans and his sister, as well as Cole Winston, Pablo Porter, the Ford brothers, and Steve's group. She did not know when they had appeared at the airport.
Barbara looked very anxious and much more emotional than Sophie. She made a trumpet shape with her hands and shouted, "Sister Martin, say yes!"
Sophie lowered her head and looked at Li Du, who was looking up and smiling. She suddenly smiled too. "I've thought about it very seriously, Mr. Li. It's an honor to be with you for the rest of my life."
She pulled Li Du up and they hugged each other fiercely. There was continuous applause.
Li Du held Sophie with one hand and waved the other. Then he felt Sophie's body twitch. He looked down and saw that Sophie was crying in his arms.
He patted Sophie on the back and sighed. "Don't cry yet, silly girl. You'll be crying after marriage. Save your tears."
Sophie punched him and said, "Bastard, I'm touched. I've been waiting for this day. Why did you take so long to marry me?"
Li Du felt wronged and said, "I just found such a big piece of raw jade."
After receiving Tang Chaoyang's gift, he did not want to go to Myanmar, but then he thought of a news article he had read.
The news said that Myanmar had produced some large raw jade stones, ranging from a few tons to dozens of tons. The quality of the jade itself was not very good, but because of its large size, even if the water head was average, it was still very valuable after being used to carve a human statue.
He had looked it up on the Internet. There was a similar statue in China, a Maitreya jade carving, which was more than two meters high. There was also a jade statue of Guanyin in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions. This one was even better, more than five meters high!
The jade used to make these statues was naturally not glass type, dragon stone type, or other rare jade. Their main body was worthless ordinary jade with a poor water head. If they were made into bracelets, they might only be worth a few hundred dollars each.
However, if they were made into statues, the value would be high. The Guanyin statue in Guangdong and Guangxi was a national treasure and would not be sold for any amount of money. The value of the Maitreya jade carving was in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
Li Du had an idea. He wanted to go to Myanmar and see for himself. If he could find a big enough raw jade stone, he would carve it into Sophie's image as a wedding gift.
When he was in the field for a few days, he collected a lot of precious jade, but he did not come across a big piece of jade.
Under such circumstances, he went to Dena Mountain. In the end, he found a large piece of jade in the jade mine of Dena Mountain. This was his goal. He had initially told the mayor of Wooku Town that he had come to Dena Mountain to find something. This thing was not to be sold for a profit. He was talking about a large piece of jade to make a statue out of.
However, the statue was not made from the jade found there. The biggest jade he had found in Dena Mountain was only about a meter tall. This piece was coincidentally found during the public auction.
It was Da Mao who had found this piece of jade. Zhong Da Pao and Liu Zi thought that there was no jade in the stone. Li Du was surprised to find that there was jade in it, and it was a big piece of jade that was 1.8 meters tall.
Of course, the quality of the jade was very poor, so it was not reflected on the surface of the stone.
After he bought the stone, he found the best sculptor through Cole, and the two of them worked together to carve this masterpiece.
After their marriage, Hans was pushed by Li Du to travel around the world. In fact, he did not go anywhere. He was sent to Seagull Island to work as a laborer to lead the wedding.
Their flight was fine for the first two days, but he needed time for his parents to get to Seagull Island first, so he found an excuse to stay with Sophie for two days.
The wedding that Li Du was looking for was not grand, but it was exquisite. Hans led the wedding planners and put in a lot of effort to decorate the wedding venue on Seagull Island beautifully.
Because Sophie and her parents were very interested in Chinese culture, the wedding was decorated according to the Chinese style. Li Du even built a Suhang garden on Seagull Island!
That was why he invested so much in Seagull Island and why the construction period was so long. There were many stones and enough water on the island, but there was a lack of flowers and trees.
Many of the plants were from China, which was a very troublesome thing. Australia had strict control over plant species. Seagull Island was far away from the main continent, and Li Du used all kinds of connections to get the approval.
Combining the elements of pavilions, terraces, buildings, springs, stones, flowers, and wood, a Chinese-style garden appeared on Seagull Island.
At this time, the garden was decorated in a festive manner. The pavilions were draped with red ribbons, and red silk embroidery could be seen everywhere. There was a festive atmosphere everywhere.
Li Du monitored the island's construction through video, so everything was normal to him. But Sophie was different. She had not been to Seagull Island for a long time, and all this was a surprise for her.
It was in order to create this surprise for her that Li Du had not come to Seagull Island in person for a long time. Otherwise, if he came, Sophie would come with him, and then she would know his plan.
Hans had decorated the small airport control room on the island and used it as a temporary bride's dressing room. Sophie was sent in, and there was a makeup artist waiting for her.
Looking at the room full of beautiful dresses, Sophie was dazzled. She turned around and asked Li Du in surprise, "When did you prepare all this?"
Li Du winked at her and smiled. "It's all a secret."
