Rong Shu held her forehead in amus*ment, “I was wrong, I just figured it out, I mean, it’s probably because you’re so rich that for an amount like a few million, you only think it’s a small amount, so it’s not surprising that you said the box is worth a bit of money.”
To a man, a few million is just about the same as a few dollars.
But to her, a few million was a large amount.
The man withdrew his gaze and fell back to the phone screen, “You like this box?”
Rongshu hurriedly shook her head, “No, this kind of box, although it is indeed worth a lot of money to me, at the same time it also gives me a feeling of fear.”
“Fear?” The man raised his eyebrows, not understanding what there was to be afraid of in a box.
Rongshu explained, “This box is so old, and looking at the pattern on it, it’s quite mysterious, which makes me think of something from some horror movies, some props in many horror movies, are these old objects, looking at them gives people an eerie feeling, so I don’t like it.”
The man didn’t expect this to be the reason for her fear and was amused.
That’s how he knew that she was quite afraid of them.
“I was going to say, you can have it if you like it.” The man laughed lowly, “Now it seems that I can’t give it away.”
Rongshu hurriedly shook her head and waved her hand, “No, you don’t want to give it away, I’m afraid of having nightmares, keep it for yourself.”
“If you don’t like it, I won’t give it away.” The man said with a slight nod.
Rongshu breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good, but what’s inside the box?”
She asked curiously, looking at the box in the video.
a*sistant Zhang put the phone on the phone stand and fixed it, then held up the box with one hand and opened it with the other, the contents inside, naturally, were exposed to the camera.
It was an imperial green jade pendant with an emerald green colour and without a single impurity.
No wonder it was packed in such an expensive box, it turned out that what was inside was several times more expensive than the box.
When Rongshu saw the jade pendant, she couldn’t help but cover her lips and exclaim, “It’s so beautiful.”
This jade pendant was carved into the shape of a plum blossom, the petals and stamens were as vivid as life, if not for the jade material and the emerald green colour, it would have looked as if it was a real plum blossom, extremely beautiful.
Even if Rong Shu did not play with jade and did not know much about it, she knew that a jade that was green in such a colour must be worth a lot of money.
Not only that, but the level of carving, even she, a layman, could tell that it was definitely a top master level carving.
The combination of such top-notch carving and such a valuable and rare jade made the value of this jade pendant even more doubled.
If she hadn’t guessed, the value of this jade pendant must be tens of millions.
Compared to Rong Shu’s amazement at the jade pendant, the man sitting in the driver’s seat looked at the jade pendant, but his eyebrows were deeply wrinkled, and a hint of surprise surfaced in the depths of his eyes, “The relic is actually this.”
Hearing the man’s words, Rong Shu looked at him curiously and asked, “You know about this jade pendant? But it’s not right, this jade pendant was given to Su Cheng by your mother when she was dating Su Cheng, you were not even around at that time, how would you know?”
When his mother was dating Su Cheng, she hadn’t married his father yet.
Naturally, there was no him either.
So this jade pendant, by definition, he shouldn’t have known about it.
Also a woman, she didn’t think his mother would have told his current husband, as well as his son, about something she had given to her first love.
Yet the man nodded slowly under Rong Shu’s book, “I know.”
“You really know?” Rong Shu was surprised.
a*sistant Zhang was also quite surprised.
But quickly figured out that it was probably Madam who had told Mr. Fu.
Hmm ……
From this point of view, the thinking of men and women was, after all, different.
The first time I saw it, I thought it was impossible for Fu Jingting’s mother to tell Fu Jingting.
But a*sistant Zhang felt that it would still be told.
This was the difference between men and women’s thinking.
“The Zhong family used to be considered a big family, and an old family, older than even the Fu family.” Fu Jingting saw that the red light had pa*sed and restarted the car, saying as he drove.
Rongshu expressed surprise, “Older than even the Fu family?”
“Mm.” Fu Jingting nodded his head.
Rongshu marveled, “I thought that the Zhong family was just a new family that had started up in these decades, but I didn’t expect it to be so old.”
The Zhong family was also a family in the capital, but it was already a third-rate family, and was now just languishing in the ranks of the upper-cla*s families, the kind that could be squeezed out at any moment, I believe.
After all, the current Zhong family is no longer the one from Fu Jingting’s mother’s family, but a side branch of Fu Jingting’s mother’s family, so it has nothing to do with Fu Jingting.
The current Zhong family probably also knows that Fu Jingting is not willing to take care of them, so even though the Zhong family may fall at any time, they have not come to Fu Jingting for help.
But she had always thought that the Zhong family was the same one that Fu Jingting’s mother’s grandfather had started, just like the Fu family.
After all, the Fu family was the one who made their fortune from Old Master Fu.
Little did she know that the Zhong family’s history of making a fortune was even longer than the Fu family’s.
“Because the current Zhong family is long gone from the original direct lineage, so much about the Zhong family’s past has been buried in the past and is unknown, so it’s normal for you not to know.” The man explained softly.
Rongshu nodded, “Then this jade pendant, what is it all about again?”
The man turned the steering wheel and said again, “The ancestor of the Zhong family was once a first-rate official in the court, and was also a corrupt official who scraped a lot of people’s money and treasure, and after the collapse of the court, the ancestor of the Zhong family even seized a lot of imperial treasures. In addition to sitting on the hills, they did not have the ability to earn back their squandered finances, so in just two or three generations, the Zhong family fell from a top family to a middle-rate family, and most of the treasures once scavenged by their ancestors were gone.”
Hearing the man say this, Rong Shu sighed with emotion, “Indeed, if the descendants do not strive for success, even the largest family fortune will not be able to withstand being squandered.”
The man did not deny it, “In that decade, the Zhong family became one of the targets of a severe crackdown, and the remaining belongings were almost looted, but there were still some clever people who, before being looted, secretly hid some of their belongings, and this was the basis for the Zhong family to regain their fortune. My grandfather, who was a very ambitious man, tried to develop the Zhong family into the powerful family of a hundred years ago, so he also picked up the rule that some of the family’s sons and daughters had tokens of status in the past. And the only reason I know this is because my grandfather told me.”
“So that’s how it is.” Rongshu lifted her chin in surprise.
She said that he knew the origin of this jade pendant, and there was no way that his mother had told him about it.
At the other end of the video, a*sistant Zhang was also dumbfounded after hearing Fu Jingting’s words.
Well, that was good.
He had guessed wrong again.
“As I recall, your name in the past, wasn’t Fu Jingting, was it?” At this time, Rong Shu suddenly thought of something and looked at the man and asked.
