Chapter 961 - Retrieving the Jade Pendant
Two days later, in a nice section of the cemetery, a few workers had dispersed, leaving a man and a woman standing in front of the newly erected monument in silence.
Ji Anning squatted down, gently straightening the chrysanthemums on the ground a little. Her eyes were filled with tears, and he said softly: "Mom, I brought you here, I hope you like it more. I can only do these things for you now."
There was no response from the quiet grave, but Ji Anning felt a sense of desolation. She whispered, "Mom, you don't have to worry about me.
After saying that, Ji Anning thought of something and she murmured, "I should also buy my mother's jade pendant. That is my mother's thing, I want to keep it safe and sound."
After Ji Anning finished speaking, he held onto the stone tablet and stood up gently, "She looks at the temporarily new Xia Shuhua on the stone tablet. She seems to be laughing, laughing very happily.
As Ji Anning turned around, he gently wiped away his tears and raised his head to look at Ji Tianci, "Big brother, let's go back!"After Ji Tianci finished speaking, he bowed respectfully towards Xia Shuhua and accompanied him towards the car park at the foot of the mountain.
Arriving in the car, Ji Anning started to recall the address of Zhang Qin's house that she found last time. That way, she could buy back the jade pendant in her hands.
"Brother, do you have time in the afternoon? "Accompany me to find something." Ji Anning asked.
Ji Tianci looked at her gently, "I belong to you all day today, what are you looking for?"
"My mom's jade pendant is now in someone else's hands. I want to spend some money to buy it back."
"Alright!" Ji Tianci pursed his lips and smiled, accompanying her.
Relying on his memories, Ji Anning searched for the location of Zhang Qin's previous address while driving to search the surroundings. Relying on her memories from three years ago, Ji Anning was able to grab onto some of the words on the address.
Finally, she saw a familiar flower bed. She looked carefully and pointed in a direction, "That villa."
Ji Anning's courage was commendable this time as she walked over and knocked on the door. Not long later, a maid came over and saw them and asked in surprise, "Who are you looking for?"
"We are looking for Madam Zhang Qin.""Is there anything you need from my wife?" the servant asked again.
Hearing that she had found the right place, Ji Anning heaved a sigh of relief, and laughed: "I have something to talk to her about, we are not bad people, can I meet her once?"
At this time, not far behind him, Zhang Qin walked over with her cat in her arms. "Who's looking for me?"
Zhang Qin looked at the door, a mature and handsome man, and a beautiful and fashionable girl. Looking at Ji Tianci, the look in her eyes subtly changed, although he was already in his early fifties, it was probably because of her previous professional habits.
"Hello, Mrs. Zhang. I heard that you have a jade pendant in your hand. Would you be willing to sell it at a high price?" This time Ji Anning was no longer the destitute, ordinary girl from three years ago. She was obviously different, and coupled with Zhang Qin's poor memory, he would naturally not remember that she had come here before.
"What jade?" Zhang Qin frowned as she looked at her.
"I heard that you have a jade pendant with two phoenixes twining around it. I want to buy this jade pendant from you." Ji Anning said with a smile.Zhang Qin's face immediately changed, and she snorted, "No! I don't have this kind of jade pendant, did you find the wrong person? "
Ji Tianci, who was at the side, also became gloomy, "Madam, that thing does not belong to you."Hearing that, Zhang Qin's face became even uglier, she looked at them warily, and asked, "Who are you people? "Why are you looking for me?"
Ji Anning's eyes flashed with slyness, she walked in with her hands behind his back, and said calmly, "Mrs. Zhang, I will not hide it from you, I previously knew a girl, she said that the jade pendant in your hands was a stolen item, if you don't buy it for me, I will have that girl report you as a hidden national cultural relic."
Zhang Qin's hand that was hugging the cat trembled. The cat jumped in shock and quickly jumped away from her embrace, while the panic on Zhang Qin's face became even more obvious as she bit her lips and said, "What a joke, why do I have a National Artifact here?"
"Mrs. Zhang, that is a national level cultural relic! "If we find out about you, you have to work hard. You might as well buy it for a good price, you won't lose out." Ji Anning frightened her.
Mrs Zhang's face changed, she naturally thought of three years ago when the girl suddenly came over to tell her, that the things in Xia Shuhua's hands were stolen from a guest, and now, she did not expect that this matter had been uncovered by the girl.She really didn't want to get into trouble. She frowned and asked, "How much did you guys pay?"
Ji Anning smiled and asked her, "How much do you think we should pay to sell this?"
Madam Zhang thought for a moment and immediately opened her mouth wide, "10 million, I heard that this jade pendant is very valuable. Without this price, I won't be selling it."
"Ten million is too much, three million is too much. Madam, think about it, should we report this to the government and face imprisonment, or should we sell the jade pendant to us?" Ji Anning asked with a light smile. His voice was not threatening, but it made Zhang Qin feel pressured for no reason.Ji Tianci who was at the side did not make a sound, but he was secretly comforted. The current Ji Anning, compared to when she had just arrived at the Ji family, was much bolder, and was full of schemes.
Zhang Qin was already worried, but after hearing what she said, what else could she do? Natural selection was the best way to deal with her.
"Then when will you transfer the money to me?"
"I can do it now!" Ji Tianci spoke from behind him. Her voice was firm, making others unable to doubt her words.Zhang Qin felt that she had suffered a loss again, but when she saw Ji Anning staring at her, she decided to sell it. She took out her phone and gave Ji Tianci an account number, "You can pay with your hands, you can have it with your hands!"
Ji Tianci took his phone, lowered his head, and operated the transfer function. Not long later, Zhang Qin's account number increased by 3 million, and when she saw the money, her mood improved a lot. He unwillingly took out the jade pendant that he had kept in his house and handed it over to Ji Anning, "Nuo, take it! If anything happens in the future, don't blame it on me, I don't know anything. "
Ji Anning held the jade pendant, his heart immediately turning soft. This was a treasure left behind by his mother, he had finally returned to her side.
