Chapter 2734 - 2736: The Fright Caused by the Amulet
Let’s talk about it.
With them here, the Central Plains Cultural Festival can’t proceed.
The atmosphere is extremely oppressive.
Wanyan Kang and the others are kneeling there, just like monkeys being watched by others.
Regret and anger churned inside them.
"Guo Xiangren, I will kill you!"
He didn’t dare provoke Xiao Chen.
But he hated Guo Xiangren.
Because it was Guo Xiangren who incited him to confront Xiao Chen.
If he had known how formidable Xiao Chen was.
Would he have had the courage?
At this time, Bai Zhi and Zhao Qiansun returned from their walk.
Smiling broadly.
It looks like they’ve met quite a few people.
"Old man, I think Jiang Meng should find a new husband.
Xiao Chen is really not good enough.
Young Master Wang whom I just saw seemed quite promising.
If Jiang Meng can marry him.
Our Bai Family could rise to a third-class King-Grade Aristocratic Family."
Bai Zhi said with a smile.
"I think this can be done.
What does Xiao Chen have? He doesn’t even deserve Jiang Meng."
Zhao Qiansun nodded.
As they were talking, they suddenly froze.
In the top-floor hall, more than ten people were kneeling.
"What’s happened here? Why are those people kneeling?"
Bai Zhi couldn’t help but ask.
"Don’t inquire, they’re not people you can afford to offend!"
Someone nearby shook their head.
"By the way, where are Xiao Chen and Jiang Meng?
Bai Yue and Wang Hou, those two don’t seem to be around either?"
Bai Zhi was curious.
The person next to her was startled to hear Bai Zhi’s words.
Quickly and respectfully replied: "The two have gone to the VIP room, it’s over there."
"The VIP room?"
Bai Zhi was taken aback.
She had inquired about it.
Only the most top-notch figures were qualified to enter the VIP room here.
It seems like Madam Liu brought Xiao Chen and Jiang Meng inside to express her gratitude.
Thinking of this, Bai Zhi pulled Zhao Qiansun over to the VIP room.
This is an opportunity.
She didn’t want to miss it.
"Once we’re inside, don’t lose your composure.
Since this Madam Liu owes Xiao Chen, we should seize the opportunity."
Bai Zhi reminded at the door.
"But your daughter lost the pendant they gave."
Zhao Qiansun reminded.
"Just a cheap pendant, you think Madam Liu would care?"
Bai Zhi disdainfully said: "Once we’re in, don’t bring it up!"
"I’m not stupid!"
Zhao Qiansun chuckled.
The two pushed the door open.
Drawing everyone’s attention.
Even Bai Zhi, from a King-Grade Aristocratic Family, felt a bit nervous.
This room is filled with big shots.
"Who are you?"
Liu Yan asked with a frown.
"President Liu, this is Jiang Meng’s godmother, and that is her godmother’s husband!"
Xiao Chen introduced.
He’s someone who knows gratitude.
Even if Bai Zhi was somewhat harsh.
She did save Jiang Meng and he couldn’t let them lose face.
"I see, please come inside and sit!"
Liu Yan invited courteously.
Which made Bai Zhi and Zhao Qiansun a bit uncomfortable.
They greeted everyone present cordially.
The two sat down with joy.
Feeling genuinely proud.
They couldn’t wait to tell Guo Peng about it, just to make him envious.
"Jiang Meng, why aren’t you wearing the pendant I gave you?"
After dinner, while drinking tea, Madam Liu asked curiously: "That was a good thing, wearing it can keep you safe."
Jiang Meng was a bit embarrassed, unsure how to respond.
The pendant had already been lost.
No idea if it could be found.
Bai Zhi was somewhat displeased.
Just a pendant, caring so much about it, was this still Madam Liu?
But she dared not speak.
She noticed many present had frozen.
Li Baiyi couldn’t help asking: "Does Madam Liu mean the talisman requested from Kunlun Mountain when she mentions the pendant?"
"Of course!"
Liu Yu said: "My mother couldn’t bear to pass it down to me, yet gave it to President Jiang, showing how much she thought of her!"
"Oh my, such a valuable thing was given to President Jiang.
President Jiang, you must keep it safe.
It’s worth a fortune!"
Jiang Wuyue said to Jiang Meng.
"Plop!"
Hearing this, Bai Zhi was startled.
The teacup fell to the ground.
Worth a fortune?
A talisman from Kunlun Mountain?
What kind of treasure was this?
"What’s wrong with the Bai Family Head?"
Liu Yan asked curiously.
"Nothing, nothing!"
Bai Zhi shook her head.
Trying hard to hide her panic.
At this time, Zhao Qiansun was trembling even more.
Although the Bai Family was also a King-Grade Aristocratic Family.
They had just come to prominence, and honestly, there wasn’t much money around them.
"I’m just shocked that such a precious thing was given to Jiang Meng."
Bai Zhi said emotionally.
"Yeah, just how much is that thing worth?"
Zhao Qiansun couldn’t help asking.
"Haha, not much money."
Madam Liu laughed.
Bai Zhi and Zhao Qiansun both exhaled a sigh of relief.
Then Madam Liu continued: "Ten years ago, it was worth just one billion Gemstone Currency.
But now, it should be worth ten billion Gemstone Currency.
After all, the master who made the talisman has passed away.
This talisman is a rare piece."
What!
The teacup Bai Zhi had just picked up fell once again.
She was going crazy.
Zhao Qiansun was even silently cursing himself for not stopping Bai Yue at that time.
A talisman worth ten billion Gemstone Currency was used by Bai Yue to repay a debt of two hundred thousand?
This is a disaster!
Big trouble!
No wonder the assessor ran away.
Having obtained such a treasure.
It’s enough to live off for a lifetime.
Why not flee?
"Bai Family Head? Mr. Zhao, your faces don’t look good.
Are you ill?
Or is the environment here not good?
Your faces look pale!"
Liu Yan asked in surprise.
Bai Zhi and Zhao Qiansun didn’t speak.
They didn’t have the strength to speak.
At this moment, she really wished she could kill Bai Yue.
Of all the things to use, she chose such a valuable talisman to pay off a debt.
What a mess.
Originally, there was a hope to have good ties with the Liu Family.
Now, having lost their gifted item.
How can they possibly establish a good relationship?
Jiang Meng also sighed.
She understood Bai Zhi and Zhao Qiansun’s feelings too well.
This was absolute torment.
Though she knew the talisman was invaluable.
She never expected.
It would be worth ten billion Gemstone Currency.
The key is, it’s a rare piece.
There will never be another like it in the world.
Even to buy it back is impossible.
What to do?
How to answer Madam Liu’s question?
After thinking, she decided to speak the truth: "Madam Liu, I’m sorry..."
At this moment, Xiao Chen spoke: "My daughter took it to play, that’s why Jiang Meng isn’t wearing it."
"I see, if Mr. Xiao’s daughter likes it, it’s fine for her to wear it."
Madam Liu chuckled.
She naturally wouldn’t probe further.
Even if Xiao Chen said the item was lost.
Lost is just lost.
She still wouldn’t say anything.
But Xiao Chen lied.
He just didn’t want Jiang Meng to be embarrassed.
Anyway, Hong Yi had just called saying the item had been found.
He didn’t need to rush.
Jiang Meng was stunned for a moment.
She didn’t refute.
