Chapter 2727 - 2729: The Lost Pendant
In the past, Liu Yan was full of praise for Qin Liangchen.
He complimented him almost every day.
He even said that if Liu Yu could marry Qin Liangchen, it would be the happiest moment.
Liu Yu couldn’t believe it, was Qin Liangchen really inferior to Xiao Chen?
Liu Yan sighed and said, "Qin Liangchen is certainly outstanding.
But ultimately, he’s just a king among ants.
Mr. Xiao is the man standing before the ants.
There’s no comparison.
They’re not on the same level."
"What!"
Liu Yu was shocked.
She was utterly speechless.
It was the first time she heard her father give someone such a terrifying evaluation.
"Don’t be in disbelief.
In Xiao Chen’s eyes, we’re all just ants.
Some are a bit bigger, some are a bit smaller.
He is a God.
We are mere mortals."
Liu Yan sighed again, "Though I hate to admit it, this is the reality!"
Liu Yu couldn’t calm down for a long time.
She stood there as if in a daze.
Like a fool.
Kangshan Mansion.
Xiao Chen and Jiang Meng were called over again.
Because the Central Plains Event was about to start.
Bai Zhi wanted to remind Xiao Chen and Jiang Meng not to cause any trouble.
"What’s that you’re wearing around your neck?
It looks terrible."
Bai Zhi suddenly noticed the pendant on Jiang Meng’s neck.
It was the one Xiao Chen got from Madam Liu.
"Take it off!"
Bai Zhi said.
"Godmother, this was a gift from Xiao Chen!"
Jiang Meng replied.
"Do you think I care about your cheap trinket?
I’ll keep it safe for you.
It’s fine to wear it daily.
But during the Central Plains Event, you absolutely cannot wear this."
Bai Zhi warned.
"Alright then!"
Xiao Chen quickly agreed.
"Okay then!"
Jiang Meng reluctantly agreed.
But she couldn’t take her eyes off the pendant, saying, "Godmother, you must keep it safe for me.
Although it’s not very valuable,
it represents Xiao Chen’s sentiment towards me!"
"Alright, alright, I know!"
Bai Zhi replied impatiently.
Then they went to the Qinghuang Sect, specifically to choose some jewelry and clothes for Jiang Meng.
Meanwhile.
Bai Yue returned to the villa.
Noticed Bai Zhi wasn’t there.
Saw a cloth bag on the table.
Inside was a pendant.
Quietly put it in her pocket.
She was a bit tight on cash.
Had to exchange it for money.
Zhao Qiansun saw it but didn’t care.
Just a pendant.
He didn’t take it seriously.
If needed, he could buy another one for Jiang Meng.
Bai Yue left the house.
Went to a casino.
It turned out Wang Hou had lost gambling.
Owed a debt.
Didn’t dare tell his family.
Could only rely on Bai Yue.
The casino boss didn’t understand antiques.
But the casino had an antique identification expert.
Upon seeing the amulet, his eyes widened.
"Alright, give me this thing. I’ll help you repay your debt.
But you must thank me.
This pendant is valued at most ten thousand Gemstone Currency.
You owe twenty thousand."
The identification master coolly said.
"Thank you, Uncle Chen. You’re truly a good person."
Wang Hou and Bai Yue, clueless fools, didn’t know how much they were losing.
A pendant worth one hundred million Gemstone Currency.
Just handed it over.
They were even proud.
When they got home, Bai Zhi was back.
Jiang Meng had brought her home.
"Where’s the stuff that was here?"
Bai Zhi asked coldly.
"I didn’t see it!"
Bai Yue replied.
"It’s worthless junk. What did you take it for? Return it quickly. Do you really think we don’t have surveillance at home?
Don’t be foolish!"
Bai Zhi said.
"You know it’s worthless, why bother.
I used it to repay gambling debts.
Twenty thousand Gemstone Currency worth of debt."
Bai Yue chuckled proudly, "That casino boss really doesn’t know what he’s doing, offering such a price for a trivial thing.
Of course, we’re pleased!"
"You! How could you use my stuff to pay off debts?
If you need money, you could have asked me.
That was a gift from Xiao Chen!" Jiang Meng was anxious.
"Don’t worry, Bai Yue, take Jiang Meng to the casino.
Use money to get it back."
Bai Zhi said.
She still relied on Jiang Meng.
Couldn’t upset Jiang Meng too much.
Could ask for excessive things.
But couldn’t do things that upset Jiang Meng.
They went to the casino.
But found out the identification master had run away.
Nowhere to be found.
"Alright, Jiang Meng, it’s just lost, never mind, godmother will buy you an identical one."
Bai Zhi comforted.
Jiang Meng was very aggrieved.
But there was nothing she could do.
Couldn’t get the item back.
Being angry was useless.
She could only tell Xiao Chen about it.
"Forget it, let me handle this.
I’ll find it back for you!"
Xiao Chen’s principle was, if it’s not a big problem, no need to cause a scene.
"Husband, I’m sorry, I’ve lost the gift you gave me."
Jiang Meng truly felt guilty.
For the next three days, Xiao Chen kept searching for the identification master.
But that guy seemed to have hidden away.
Couldn’t find him at all.
Even Sky Net couldn’t find him.
"Keep looking, if we can’t find him, it means he hasn’t left Central Plains City, he should be hiding somewhere."
After instructing this.
He prepared to attend the Central Plains Event.
Central Plains Tower is the landmark building of Central Plains City.
More than eight hundred meters high.
Reaching into the clouds.
It used to be a famous tourist spot.
Now it’s become a private clubhouse.
Standing on the roof, all glass rooms.
Feels like being in a heavenly palace.
This floor is very special.
The average person has no qualification to come.
When Xiao Chen brought Jiang Meng and Bai Zhi’s family here.
They were truly amazed.
They only knew Central Plains Tower was astonishing.
Now standing outside, they truly felt its grandeur.
Around Central Plains Tower, countless luxury cars parked.
Ordinary cars have no qualification to come near.
Unless your identity is special.
Xiao Chen drove his domestic car, truly incongruous.
Key point is, he’s been driving this car for years.
Worth more than twenty thousand, and still in Dragon Coin.
Old-style car.
It could be called a vintage car.
Now even workers don’t drive such cars.
All the way, Bai Zhi kept complaining.
Saying if she knew Xiao Chen drove this car, she’d have bought another one.
Feeling embarrassed.
However, Bai Zhi’s worry was justified.
Soon, Xiao Chen’s car was stopped.
By a valet.
The valet wore a full set of branded clothes.
Like sponsored by some famous international men’s wear brand.
Then look at Xiao Chen and Jiang Meng’s clothes.
No brand at all.
"What are you doing?"
The valet frowned, "Look around, what cars are parked here, how did you get in with this car?"
"No one said you need a specific car to attend the Central Plains Event."
Xiao Chen casually replied.
"You’re here to attend the Central Plains Event?"
The valet was stupefied.
Examined Xiao Chen and Jiang Meng closely.
Then looked at Bai Zhi and others.
Bai Zhi and others were fine, very classy, clearly from a King-Grade Aristocratic Family.
