Chapter Eighty-Five What Was Seen

  The next day, Li Yang got up early and carefully put the beautiful glass emerald green into his pocket.

  Li Yang was wearing a brand new business suit, which was bought by Sima Lin and Zheng Kaida yesterday, costing over 10,000 yuan. Looking at the clothes that were equivalent to his previous year's hard work, Li Yang couldn't help but shake his head. Although his bank deposit had already reached eight digits, his living habits remained the same as before, liking to wear those cheap clothes that cost only tens or hundreds of yuan, which made him feel more comfortable.

  Li Yang had just gone downstairs when he found Wu Xiaoli's red sports car already parked at the bottom of the building, this girl really did follow him.

  Wu Xiaoli was leaning against the car with a smile, and Li Yang hurried forward to ask in a low voice: "Have you informed He Lao about going there?"

  "Of course, you think I'm as rude as you!" Wu Xiaoli's eyebrows rose slightly, suddenly giving Li Yang a sense of infinite charm, staring blankly at Wu Xiaoli.

  "What are you staring at? Let's go, is it your car or mine?"

  Wu Xiaoli's face turned slightly red, and Li Yang immediately lowered his head and said, "Open yours, your car is fuel-efficient!"

  "Hmph!"

  Wu Xiaoli couldn't help but burst out laughing, Li Yang's excuse was too ridiculous. However, she also didn't notice that no matter which car they took, they would still be together, perhaps this was what Wu Xiaoli had been hoping for in her heart.

  Wu Xiaoli drove the car and soon arrived at the high-end villa complex where they had been last time. The security guard at the entrance registered them and made a phone call before letting them pass. Last time, Li Yang was too preoccupied with the jade snuff bottle in his hand to pay much attention to the strict security measures at the entrance.

  The car stopped quickly in front of He Lao's gate, and the two had just gotten out of the car when the door opened. It was still the middle-aged woman Li Yang had seen last time, and He Lao was sitting in the yard smiling at them.

  "Hello!"

  Li Yang pulled Wu Xiaoli in quickly, and the old man sitting inside also stood up. The two eyes under his white hair seemed to be shining with a dazzling light, staring straight at Li Yang and the others.

  "Welcome, take a seat!"

  A middle-aged woman next to them had already moved over two chairs, and the two of them sat down opposite Old He. After learning about Old He's identity, Li Yang was a bit apprehensive when he suddenly invited himself over.

  Li Yang didn't know what to say first, so he simply took out the small piece of jade. The jade was carved into a pendant and was also one of his wishes. Such a good thing Li Yang also planned to keep it as a family heirloom for their Li family.

  "What an elder, this is the jade raw material I mentioned to you yesterday. This piece of jade raw material is very rare, so I have been keeping it all along, just thinking of finding a good carver master to carve it into an ornament!"

  Li Yang carefully took out the small piece of jade from his pocket, although he knew it wouldn't break if dropped, but still handled it with great care.

  He Lao's gaze, fixed on Li Yang's eyes, was immediately drawn to the small piece of jade, and he couldn't help but get up and take it from Li Yang's hand. Even He Lao rarely saw such top-grade jade.

  Wu Xiaoli's eyes widened even more, and with her keen eye, she could see that this jade was extraordinary at a glance. However, she didn't dare to confirm the idea in her mind. In today's world where jade resources are increasingly scarce, it's extremely rare to come across top-grade jade like this. Not to mention that they were exposed to sunlight, but even throughout Henan province, or even the entire China, it's unlikely to produce such a piece every year.

  "The glass is emerald green, what a great thing!"

  He Lao Na carefully observed it in his hand for several minutes before letting out a deep sigh, and Wu Xiaoli's eyes widened even further.

  "Li Yang, when did you get this piece of jade?"

  Wu Xiaoli turned her head and asked Li Yang, she was getting more and more unable to see through Li Yang. In her eyes, Li Yang seemed to change his persona every day. Yesterday he became a jade expert, today he brought out the top-grade glass Emperor Green, which was impossible for others but seemed effortless on him.

  "I bought a set of puzzle stones last time, and also bought some gamble stones, which I accidentally solved myself!"

  As for the origin of the jade, he had already thought it through and attributed it to the gambling stone he bought from Zhang Wei last time. Anyway, that footstone was also a gambling stone, so what he said was not unreasonable.

  "Last time? You mean those gambling stones you bought from Henan?"

  Wu Xiaoli's eyes widened even more, and she was still guessing whether it was from the batch of jade stones that Li Yang had gambled on this time in Zhengzhou. After all, Li Yang had bought a lot of high-quality jade materials, so it wasn't impossible for such a top-notch piece of jade to appear.

  "Not yet, I haven't solved this puzzle stone!"

  Li Yang shook his head, the batch of gambling stones from Zhengzhou had already been sent to him, plus the two bought by Zhang Wei, now all placed in Li Yang's separately rented house. These stones were dull and heavy, people who didn't understand would not have any interest, putting them there Li Yang was not afraid of being stolen.

  But it's not a good idea to leave it unattended all the time, Wu Xiaoli mentioned that Li Yang wants to buy a house and the idea resurfaced again, it's better to have a stable home of his own as soon as possible.

  "Cough! Cough!"

  He Lao suddenly coughed, and the two of them hastily sat up straight. Wu Xiaoli's face was still a bit red, while Li Yang felt some concern in his heart. The two were too busy talking to notice He Lao beside them had been forgotten.

  He Lao smiled and his eyes sparkled with amusement at the earlier awkwardness between Li Yang and Wu Xiaoli, which he had completely ignored.

  "Li Yang, I believe they will definitely accept this material and make the best of it. If Old Hong doesn't monopolize it, this material will absolutely not be given to anyone else once it reaches his hands!"

  He Lao smiled and looked at Li Yang, suddenly saying: "Li Yang, what are you planning to carve? Mandarin ducks or dragon and phoenix, or something else to give to your little wife later?"

  He Lao said here and deliberately took a look at Wu Xiaoli, Wu Xiaoli's head immediately lowered, her face still flushed.

  "What an old man! I want to carve a Buddha statue and leave it for future generations!"

  Li Yang smiled wryly, he naturally understood the obvious meaning of He Lao. Li Yang had thought about Wu Xiaoli before, but felt that they were not realistic and didn't match well. His thoughts had faded a lot, and in his heart, there was another person, the pure Wang Jiajia, who was the type of girl he liked.

  "It's fine to carve a Buddha statue!" Old He nodded and said, "If you believe me, put the things here first, I'll let them come and take them later. After it's done, you can come back here to pick it up!"

  "Just go with the arrangement!"

  Li Yang immediately agreed, with He Lao's identity he certainly believed, last time when he didn't know He Lao's identity he was able to directly throw the 6 million worth jade snuff bottle here, now that he knows it's even more reassuring.

  He Lao stood up with a smile and said, "Let's go inside and talk!"

  The hall was still the same as when Li Yang came last time. However, He Lao didn't stop them in the hall but instead took the two directly to the second floor.

  The second floor has several rooms, each with a different door. Li Yang looked around and saw that Wu Xiaoli was also looking at him in the same way. Wu Xiaoli had been to He Lao's place once before, but this was her first time upstairs, just like Li Yang.

  "Come on in!"

  Two people were watching, and He Lao had already opened one of the doors. From the outside, there was a table inside, and behind the table, there was also a bookcase, which looked like a study room.

  After entering, Li Yang only discovered that what they saw outside was just the tip of the iceberg. There were desks and bookshelves inside, but along the walls, many antiques were placed, most of which were porcelain.

  "Mr He, is this your study?"

  As soon as she entered the room, Wu Xiaoli's eyes sparkled and she immediately walked over to carefully examine the exquisite collectibles displayed in the wall cabinet.

  "Consider it a part of it!" Old He smiled and nodded, but his eyes were still fixed on Li Yang.

  Li Yang was also surprised when he came in, but he recovered very quickly. At this time, there was no unusual expression in his eyes, unlike Wu Xiaoli who couldn't wait to open the glass and take out what's inside to take a look.

  He Lao's eyes showed a hint of appreciation, it was rare for a collector to calm down so quickly when entering someone else's collection room. But if He Lao knew that Li ** wasn't a collector at all and couldn't even understand his collections, who knows what expression he would have.

  "Li Yang, what do you think of these things!" He Lao couldn't see through Li Yang's thoughts and could only ask a question first.

  "Alright, let's stop here!"

  After a moment, Li Yang slowly replied that he really didn't know what words to use to describe these ceramics or other collectibles. They were very beautiful, but Li Yang had no idea of their inner significance, and being asked to evaluate them was like playing the zither to a cow.

  Moreover, most of the books Li Yang has been reading these days are about ancient jade and he has gained a lot of theoretical knowledge about it. As for porcelain, even if he knows the dynasty, he can't say much more than that.

  He Lao stared at Li Yang and slowly asked: "Didn't you notice anything?"

  "What can you see?"

  Li Yang was slightly stunned, and hastily activated his special ability. These things looked no different from the ceramic store outside when viewed with the naked eye, but only with his special ability could he truly see through to what was inside.

  Dozens of collectibles on the wall suddenly appeared in Li Yang's mind, and he looked at the wall in surprise. All the things were only surrounded by a layer of light yellow halo, which means that all these things in front of him were made in modern times, no more than sixty years ago.

  "What's all this, Mr He?"

  Li Yang opened his mouth, somewhat stuttering, he wanted to say it was all fake, but the words didn't come out.

  "What's going on?" He Lao nodded slightly and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes once again.

  "These things are all modern!" Li Yang took a deep breath, and only then did he slowly speak to He Lao. Wu Xiaoli suddenly turned her head around, looking at Li Yang in surprise.
