Chapter 1622: Ready To Return Home
After they left the jewellery store, Shangguan Wanrong said: âLittle Jiu, is this set of jewellery expensive?â It couldnât have been cheap if it was made by some master craftsman and sea salt kyanite!
âMother, I have more than enough money, donât worry!â How much money did she get for selling a bottle of pills? What alchemists and pharmacists donât lack was money.
âThen donât squander it.â
âHow can buying my mother something be squandering money?â She smiled gently and held her hand: âThere is a teahouse in front, letâs go and drink some tea!â
So the three of them went to the teahouse and sat down at a table on the second floor next to the window. They ordered a pot of good tea and a few plates of snacks while they sat there idly chatting and enjoying the view.
âMother, put on the set of jewellery! The aqua blue isnât too eye-catching and it has a function of defence and attack. Wearing it will only give you advantages and not bring you any harm.â
âPut it on here?â Shangguan Wanrong was slightly startled.
âI will put it on for you Mother.â She smiled widely at her and said.
Shangguan Wanrong smiled when she saw her enthusiasm and replied: âAlright!â She took out the set of jewellery and placed it on the table.
The set of jewellery consisted of a space ring, a bracelet, a pair of studded earrings, as well as a drop shaped necklace and a hairpin. The design was neither extravagant nor eye-catching. Even when it was worn, people who were ignorant wouldnât be able to see the preciousness of this set of jewellery.
While she was helping her mother put on the jewellery, Feng Jiu said: âI wanted to learn craftsmanship in the past, I even bought the materials. But later on I realised I didnât have time to learn this.â
âYou already know a lot. You donât have to force yourself to learn more. You might tire your body if you spend too much time learning.â She whispered gently to her daughter, lamenting in her heart.
How many others would have experienced as much as she had at such a young age? She had already done very well for herself.
âWell, when I have time in the future I will learn. Right now, we have to take care of the matters at hand first!â She took a step back with a wide smile on her face and asked Leng Shuang: âWhat do you think? I have good taste, donât I?â
Leng Shuang nodded: âIt looks good.â
She smiled when she heard this: âI think it really suits my mother.â She paused, and then said: âMother, letâs go home in a few daysâ time! The journey is not short and I think Father must be anxious waiting for us to return home.â
âWell, we can leave anytime. But are your affairs here in order?â She asked.
âTo be honest, there is nothing much else left to do. However, I have been meaning to pay a visit to the Black Market Chief here, but the last time I went over, he was away on a trip. The person in charge said that he would inform me if he returned, but it looks like he isnât back yet.â
Feng Jiu cupped her cheek after she sat back down at the table and took a sip of tea with her other hand. She was helpless in this matter. Who would have known that she wouldnât have the opportunity to meet the Black Market Chief here? She was really curious as to what kind of a person he was.
âThen what shall we do? Do you want to wait until youâve seen her before we leave? Or do you want to wait for another chance in the future?â
âWe arenât fated to meet this time, maybe next time! When the time is right Iâm sure we will have the chance to meet.â She refused to believe that after all her dealings with the Black Market, she wouldnât have the opportunity to meet this Black Market Chief.
âWe will discuss with Mo Ze when we return later. If there are no incidents, we can leave in two days!â As she spoke about this, she missed her Grandfather and Father dearly.
