Chapter 259: Chapter 259 - You Can Make A Fake
“Miss Yun, something’s weird with you today . ”
Yun Xiangxiang went straight to Qian Yongnian and stared at the stone after she came home . He noticed something was off with her .
“Grandpa Qian, I’m sorry . I need to send this away for a while,” Yun Xiangxiang was apologetic .
She understood how important it was for a jade sculptor to come across a piece of excellent stone . She sought him out first . She gave him hope, but now she had to destroy it . She knew that it was cruel .
“When are you taking it back?” Qian Yongnian didn’t notice the undertone . He was calculating the time he needed to make the accessories .
“Perhaps…never,” Yun Xiangxiang had to be honest with him .
“What?!” Qian Yongnian was shocked . “What happened?”
“This jadeite…” she didn’t hide anything and told him the transpired events . “Nothing’s more precious than life to me . ”
Qian Yongnian could understand her decision . When she was about to keep the jadeite in a bag, he stopped her . “We can make a fake one for the police . ”
“A fake?” Yun Xiangxiang was surprised .
“Make a fake one with a dark green jade . Just give them a heads up,” Qian Yongnian explained . “It also has a green gleam after polishing . But even the best one only shines a light shade of green . We can make a highly polished one, making it hard to tell them apart . ”
The criminals wouldn’t have much time to verify it . Not to mention, they might not succeed anyway . They only needed to hand it over to the police and make the criminals believe it was the real deal . The rest would be the police’s problem .
A fake black jadeite wasn’t a significant loss even if it was destroyed during the fight, even though it was also expensive .
They needed a better stone to make a fake . It at least had to be indistinguishable from the real deal even when checked from afar .
“Is it possible?” Yun Xiangxiang was starting to hope .
“I am confident it will,” Qian Yongnian guaranteed .
He knew how to make fakes . He learned it so he wouldn’t get duped, but it came back to bite him eventually .
“Tell me what you need . I’ll get someone to fetch them for you,” Yun Xiangxiang wanted to gamble on this .
“I don’t need anything . I have a piece of it right here . ” If Yun Xiangxiang or anyone around her were caught buying this dark green jade, their plan would fail .
The criminals were professional jewelry thieves . They must know jewelry to a degree .
Qian Yongnian had some materials left on him . But those who were into this didn’t want to buy his work . Amateurs couldn’t afford them .
He didn’t starve during all these years, so he didn’t take them out, even if he was poor .
He wanted to give it to his grandson when he would make a family . The stones could be exchanged into money, lightening the burden on his grandson’s life .
He didn’t tell Qian Qian about this . He didn’t want his grandson to rely on him too much .
He brought all of them here this time because his grandson would be sitting his entrance exam soon . He wanted to sell all of them here .
Qian Yongnian took a black oval stone the size of a bowl out . There were no traces of sculpting on it .
“The gloss is far too different from the black jadeite,” Yun Xiangxiang noticed it at a glance .
“Try and say that again conclusion after it’s polished,” said Qian Yongnian .
“Grandpa Qian, I’ll buy this jade from you . I can’t let you waste it . You can make some accessories with the leftovers . I’ll give them out as gifts,” Yun Xiangxiang offered .
“Sure . I’ll bill you after everything is done,” Qian Yongnian accepted her offer .
“How much time do you need, Grandpa Qian?” Yun Xiangxiang asked .
“I can finish it by tomorrow,” Qian Yongnian understood the urgency of the situation .
“Thanks for your hard work,” Yun Xiangxiang was grateful .
She left him to his own devices and went to see Song Qian, “Notice anything off recently?”
“No,” Song Qian knew about the situation from Ai Li . She snorted, “Just some small-time thieves . You don’t have to worry about it . ”
People like them were trash to Song Qian . If they dared to attack, she would kill them all .
“I know you’re not worried, but please be careful . You and Little Lin better don’t go upstairs these few days,” Yun Xiangxiang had to make preparations .
Song Mian’s house was different from hers . Most of the security measures there were installed during renovation .
Song Mian didn’t change any part of her house out of respect for her and He Wei . That was why he bought the units below and above hers .
“You should tell the young master about this,” Song Qian didn’t object to her arrangement, but she needed to remind her . ”
“Yeah, I know,” the situation had taken a turn for the worse . If she still kept it a secret from him, that would be too cruel to him .
She told him about it that night, “Everyone says I’m lucky . But they don’t see the dangers behind it . ”
Song Mian didn’t look nervous or worried . He consoled her gently, “Don’t worry, you’ll be fine . You’re a lucky girl . You can discover a threat against you even when you’re just staying in a hotel . ”
If this episode did not happen, the eventual attack could cause great harm to her . From this event, Song Mian knew he didn’t protect Yun Xiangxiang enough .
“You’re right,” she had to admit that he was correct .
“Here, let me take you on a sightseeing trip,” Song Mian hiked up the mountain with his phone in hand . He wanted to cheer her up .
As he went up, his phone showed her the land of South Africa . Yun Xiangxiang had never been to South Africa in both lives . To her, South Africa was desolate, barren . She thought it only had deserts, plains, and dried up earth… .
But that was not what Song Mian’s phone showed . The beauty of nature there looked like it came straight from an oil painting .
There were vast, green plains and rolling mountains . There was a purple sea of flowers, and a clear sky dotted with pure, white clouds…
Yun Xiangxiang brightened up like the nature that was shown to her . “It’s so gorgeous there . It’s totally different from what I had in mind . ”
“Their ecological reserve and the wilderness here are gorgeous . I’ll have to bring you here next time,” Song Mian smiled when he thought of coming here with her . “There’s also a private hunting ground . ”
“Okay, I’ll be waiting for that day . You better don’t forget this,” Yun Xiangxiang was more determined to go find him .
“I’ll retire once you decide to stop filming . When that happens, I’ll take you to all corners of the world . Ah Jun has gone to all sorts of places and found out many interesting spots . I want to see all of them with you . ”
He would only be by one woman’s side for his life, taking her to everywhere in the world .
This was a meaningful and romantic affair .
“Retirement? You should think about grooming your successor first . ” Yun Xiangxiang thought Song Mian was thinking too far . She was just eighteen . It would be at least twenty-five years before she would consider retiring .
