Chapter 250: Chapter 250 - A Demon
When Qian Yongnian walked past Yun Xiangxiang, she called out to him .
Yongnian had great eyesight and a decent memory . He recognized Xiangxiang at a glance . “It’s you girls . It’s late now, you shouldn’t be here . It’s not safe for girls . ”
“Aren’t you curious about how I know you, Mr . Qian?” Xiangxiang was surprised that Yongnian reminded them first .
“You came here for me?” Yongnian asked .
“Let’s have some barbecue first . We’ll talk in another place after this,” Yun Xiangxiang pushed the grilled food to him . “We had our dinner already . ”
Wei Shanshan nodded incessantly .
Yongnian asked his grandson to eat with him . He gave most of the food to his grandson and paid for their food himself, Yun Xiangxiang did not stop him .
This was the respect she showed for him .
She came here herself because she was concerned that Yongnian would not trust anyone easily . Forcing him wasn’t what she wanted either .
Jade sculpting was a spiritual art . The sculptor’s spirit would determine how the work looked in the end .
Shanshan’s agent started calling her . He looked for them as they spoke . But he couldn’t recognize the duo when he was already standing right beside them .
“I’m here…,” Shanshan whispered .
Shanshan’s agent took a double-take before saying resignedly, “My dear girls, please don’t be so…unusual the next time you come out . ”
“I don’t think we are being unusual,” Xiangxiang didn’t think much of it .
It might be a messy spot, but many girls their age lived here .
“Mr . Qian, please come with us,” Xiangxiang invited Yongnian .
Yongnian brought his grandson along . The agent sent them to the new hotel they reserved .
It was where Shanshan was staying . Xiangxiang removed her makeup and changed . Yongnian’s grandson was incredulous, “Goddess!”
“Hello, Mr . Qian . I’m Yun Xiangxiang . You might have seen me before,” said Xiangxiang humbly .
She wasn’t really known by the whole of China .
“I saw the news about you two days ago,” Yongnian only knew about her because of the black jadeite .
“Then you must know why I sought you out,” Xiangxiang cut to the chase .
“Didn’t you sell your jade already?” Yongnian was puzzled .
“It’s a little more to it than that,” Xiangxiang gave an indirect answer .
Yongnian used to work with giants of the jewelry world . He might be old, but he wasn’t senile . Even though he knew what was happening, he said nothing about it . “Then you must have looked me up . You must have known about my past . ”
“To err is human . I came here today because I think you’re who I need right now, Mr . Qian,” Xiangxiang replied honestly . “I’m short on time, and I need you to come with me to Beijing . I’ll be sponsoring all your expenses until you finish your work . Also, I’ll pay you double the market fee . ”
Xiangxiang wasn’t worried about Yongnian’s integrity . She was worried he might get murdered if someone saw him with the black jadeite .
If disaster befell Yongnian because of her, Xiangxiang would be riddled with guilt for the rest of her life .
Because of that, she wanted to supervise him . Because of that, she went to look for him herself as a sign of sincerity .
Only a forgotten sculptor like Qian Yongnian wouldn’t raise any suspicions even if he disappeared for some time .
If she sought out a famous sculptor, the ruse she did with MonRoe would be for nothing .
“I can go with you . You don’t have to pay me anything except my expenses,” Yongnian was worked up .
“Do you have any requests?” Nobody would work for nothing .
“Only one . I must be credited for the final work,” Yongnian was adamant .
He was in a sorry state now . But if he wanted to, people would kill for his work .
He only lived in squalor because he stuck to his principles, and was backstabbed .
“Of course,” Xiangxiang didn’t hesitate .
“I hope you have thought it through . I…”
“Mr . Qian, I’ll tell you this . I will not sell even one product made from my black jadeite,” Xiangxiang reassured him .
Yongnian was just worried the price of the jadeite would be affected by his infamy .
She wouldn’t be selling it . Besides, a product’s value was determined by the product itself, not its maker . At least that was what Yun Xiangxiang thought .
“Give me three days to make my arrangements here,” Yongnian agreed to go .
Xiangxiang nodded, “Alright then . Someone will pick you up after three days . ”
She took out her phone and showed him Song Qian’s photo, “Keep an eye out for her . ”
Yongnian memorized the face and nodded . “What are you planning to do with that black jadeite?”
“I only need six cloud-shaped beads for a men’s wristrope . You can do what you want with the rest,” Yun Xiangxiang made her request . “Also, make a pair of studs for the lady there . ”
Xiangxiang pointed at Shanshan . She smiled sweetly at him, “It will be perfect if you can make some patterns for it . ”
“You need the beads as soon as possible, correct?” Yongnian confirmed .
“Correct . This might be troublesome, but I don’t know the size of the rope either . For now . ” Xiangxiang knew she was troubling the sculptor . “I can only spare one month . ”
“That’s enough for me,” Yongnian accepted it .
Xiangxiang asked the agent to send Yongnian and his grandson home .
Xiangxiang believed that he knew what to do with his grandson .
“This might be fate-changing for them,” Shanshan lamented .
“Yeah, I’m the fate-changer . Come, butter me up,” Xiangxiang nodded narcissistically .
Song Mian video called her at this time . Xiangxiang felt the vibration of the phone in her hands . She accepted the call before the ringtone started playing .
Shanshan didn’t notice it . She thought Xiangxiang was just looking at her phone . Shanshan pounced on her, “Buttering you up is no fun . I’ll make you mine!”
Song Mian was shocked!
Facing his questioning look, Xiangxiang tensed up and immediately pushed Shanshan away .
“Um… trust me, I only like boys…”
When she recalled how he said he would get jealous at even girls, she started feeling guilty even though she did nothing .
Shanshan noticed him too . She came over to explain sheepishly, “Xiangxiang’s boyfriend . Don’t misunderstand . I was just playing with…”
Shanshan slowly quieted down . She stared at the perfect face looking back at them from the screen . “Oh my god . I can’t believe someone so handsome exists!”
Xiangxiang pushed her away, and Shanshan fell down to the bed . She held the pillow while being in a daze .
It wasn’t until Xiangxiang hung up did Shanshan snap out of it . “Yun Xiangxiang, your boyfriend looks too unreal . He might be a spirit that has managed to change into a human!”
