Hearing this, Sun Shuqin blushed and glared at him. Li Rui realized that he had said something wrong. He seemed to be reminding her that he had seen her body before. He was embarrassed and didn't dare to say anything else. Sun Shuqin suddenly burst out laughing and said, "Younger than you?"
After Song Chaoyang woke up, the three of them had breakfast together. Li Rui drove to Lu Qingman's house.
Li Rui's original plan was to wait until Qing Man arrived at her house. Not to mention anything else, the first thing he wanted to do was to carry her to the Simmons and have a good time with her. However, who would have known that there was another guest at her house before him, and this guest wasn't an outsider. It was his old enemy, Gao Zi Xuan.
After he rang the doorbell, Gao Zixuan opened the door for him. The two of them looked at each other. Li Rui's smile froze on his face. It was written clearly on his face. "Why are you here?" Gao Zixuan glanced at him expressionlessly and said, "I know you don't want to see me, but I'm here. Disappointed? Depressed? Annoyed? " Li Rui followed up with two words. "Surprise!" Gao Zixuan smiled and turned to go back into the house.
Lu Qingman was busy in the bathroom. When she heard the noise, she walked out. She didn't care that Gao Zixuan was present. She acted coquettishly and said, "Where's my present?" She glanced at him and saw that he had nothing but a briefcase in his hand. The surprise on her face immediately froze.
Li Rui didn't dare to be intimate with Lu Qingman in front of Gao Zixuan. However, he didn't mind showing off his present to Qingman in front of her. In fact, when he first agreed to help Hu Liquan from Little Dragon King Village find a buyer for the gold dragon he obtained from the ancient tomb, he wanted to introduce Gao Zixuan as a buyer. Among all his friends, she was the only one who had the ability to buy the gold dragon with cash. Besides, she had a 10% stake in Qingyang's newly opened BMW 4S store. Since their personal relationship had reached such a level, there was no need to hide anything from her.
He said, "Come to the living room and have a look." Then he said to Gao Zixuan, "You come and have a look too."
He walked over to the sofa and sat down. He patted the seat to his left and gestured for Lu Qingman to sit over there. He also gestured for Gao Zixuan to sit on the single-seater sofa at the head of the table. Then, he took out the small mirror inlaid with gold and jade from his briefcase and placed it on the coffee table. He observed the expressions of the two women. Lu Qingman had a puzzled expression while Gao Zixuan had a dignified expression.
Lu Qingman asked, "What is this? This is the gift you gave me? "Li Rui said," If you don't mind, pick it up and take a look. " Lu Qingman was even more puzzled. She reached out to pick up the mirror and said, "What's there to mind?" Li Rui turned his head to look at Gao Zixuan's beautiful face and said indifferently, "This is a funerary object taken from an ancient tomb."
He had expected Lu Qingman to react violently. For example, she would suddenly throw the small mirror away and then turn pale with fright. But she didn't. She still held the small mirror tightly. She only frowned and said, "Ancient tomb? Funerary object? "As she said this, she began to seriously examine the mirror.
Gao Zixuan walked over and sat down next to her to examine the mirror with her.
Li Rui said, "I don't want to hide anything in front of the two of you. Where did this mirror come from? I came across it by chance when I went to the mountains of Hanshui County to help the poor. One night, I and a poor person in the village inadvertently discovered a few grave robbers robbing an ancient tomb in the mountains. We went up to stop them. After fighting for a while, the grave robbers were chased away by us. However, we were careless and lost a few funerary objects. At that time, I didn't know that the funerary objects had fallen. But the poor person took advantage of my carelessness and secretly hid them. At that time, the local police arrived and began to seal up the scene. I didn't have anything to do with the poor person, so we went down the mountain. When we reached the bottom of the mountain, the poor person told me that he had picked up a few funerary objects. I thought about it and decided that it wouldn't be good to return them. What would you say to the police if you returned them? They would definitely know that you had thoughts of embezzling them. Every man for himself, and the devil takes the hindmost. I had no choice but to keep them myself. That poor person was quite generous. He gave me one of the objects. It was this mirror inlaid with gold and jade. "
Li Rui's words were both true and false. But there was more truth in them. Not only did Lu Qingman and Gao Zixuan believe him, but even he himself couldn't help but believe it. In fact, the truth was that the four treasures were all stolen by Hu Liquan from the tomb. He didn't keep them after picking them up outside the tomb. Moreover, Hu Liquan didn't give him one, but three. The reason why he hid the number of treasures wasn't to target Lu Qingman, but to target Gao Zixuan.
Maybe a friend would ask. Telling her one thing was the same as telling her three things. What was the difference?
There was a difference! It was really different!
The difference was that the three treasures belonged to different owners. First of all, the small mirror inlaid with gold and jade was meant for Lu Qingman. As her best friend, Gao Zixuan would find this mirror in her house sooner or later. If she asked about its origin, Qingman probably wouldn't hide it from her. Therefore, he could boldly tell her the origin of this mirror.
But as for the other two treasures, the golden beast was meant for his future father-in-law, Lu Zhouxing, and the black pearl was for himself. But no matter if he gave it to someone else or kept it himself, the origin of these two treasures would negatively affect his reputation. After all, he had swallowed up the treasures unearthed from ancient tombs and the country's property. It would damage his reputation. Especially considering that Lu Zhouxing's reputation was illustrious. He absolutely couldn't tarnish his reputation. Therefore, he had to do his best to prevent outsiders from knowing about this. If Gao Zixuan found out, she would definitely look down on him. If she went home and told her father, Gao Guotai, it would be even worse. Since that was the case, there was no need to let her know about the existence of the other two treasures.
Gao Zixuan's beautiful eyes stared straight at the exquisite small mirror in Lu Qingman's hand. She frowned and said, "You're saying that this mirror was taken from a coffin?"
Previously, Li Rui kept saying "ancient tomb" and "burial goods". These two words were very literary and had a certain beautifying effect. Therefore, Lu Qingman didn't feel anything when she heard it. However, Gao Zixuan's words hit the nail on the head. She explained the true origin of the mirror in plain words, and she instantly had a feeling.
She saw her body suddenly shiver. In a flurry, she placed the mirror on the coffee table and stepped back. She cried out involuntarily, "Ah, it was taken from a coffin?"
Li Rui said, "Don't listen to her nonsense. How could it be taken from a coffin? Let me tell you. In the ancient tomb, there are two side rooms on the left and right side of the main tomb. The side rooms are filled with burial goods. This mirror was taken from the side room. It was eight feet away from the coffin. " Gao Zi Xuan took the mirror and carefully observed it over and over again. However, she deliberately went against him, "Even if it's 180 feet away, isn't it still buried under the grave? Isn't it still unlucky? I say, you're really shameless. You actually gave Sister Qingman such an unlucky gift. Do you want her to have nightmares at night? What if she dreams of a dead person? What if she dreams of a coffin? "
When she said this, Lu Qingman was even more scared. She repeatedly shook her head and said, "I don't want it. It's … it's too scary."
Li Rui looked at Gao Zixuan with hatred. He wanted to pinch her beautiful face a few times. But what she said was true. This mirror was taken from an ancient tomb. It hadn't seen light for thousands of years and had been contaminated with the aura of the dead for a long time. It was definitely unlucky to give it to Qingman. He sighed inwardly and said with gritted teeth, "Gao Zixuan, if it's unlucky, why are you still looking at it? Give it back to me. Give it back! "
Gao Zi Xuan giggled as she glanced at him and said, "However, the workmanship of this mirror is really good. I didn't expect that there would be such a high level of craftsmanship in ancient times. Look at the gold strands on the jade plate, they're so thin and thin." Li Rui said coldly, "Are you done yet? First you scare Qingman and don't let her touch this mirror. Then you pick it up and praise it? You did it on purpose, didn't you? " Gao Zixuan laughed and said, "It's okay. I'm brave. Besides, I'm full of Yang energy. I'm not afraid of the unlucky aura on this mirror." Li Rui spat, "Bah, you're full of Yang energy? You're a woman. Other than Yin energy, there's more Yin energy. Where's the Yang energy?"
Gao Zixuan giggled and looked at the mirror, ignoring him.
Li Rui said in a huff, "Since you like it so much, I'll just give it to you." Gao Zixuan was overjoyed and said, "Really? You're not kidding me? "Li Rui looked at Lu Qingman and said," In any case, Qingman is afraid and doesn't dare to accept it. Then I'll just give it to you. " Gao Zixuan's joy turned into surprise and asked, "Which ancient tomb was this mirror taken from?" Li Rui said, "Western Han." Gao Zixuan exclaimed, "Ah, Western Han!" Then she said, "Then it must be very old. It must be very valuable. You … you're really willing to give it to me? You're willing to give it to me? " Li Rui saw that Lu Qingman's face was still full of fear and nodded and said, "Why wouldn't I be willing to give it to you? In any case, it's easy to get and I don't feel bad giving it away. Just take it. It can be said that you and this mirror are fated. "
Gao Zixuan was overjoyed. Her beautiful eyes widened as she looked at the small mirror. Her gaze was full of love.
Li Rui squeezed Lu Qingman's small hand and said, "You saw through it. She's so hypocritical. She's trying to scare you so that you won't dare to accept it. Then she'll snatch it for herself." Lu Qingman laughed and said, "I wouldn't dare to accept it even if she didn't scare me."
