Chapter 104: Chapter 104: This Bottle Is Worth Over Ten Million

On these fragments before her eyes, the carvings clearly depicted various longevity symbols, and to her surprise, these images were identical to those on the pair of Northern Song Dynasty Hundred Longevity Jade Vases worth twelve million she had seen earlier at Hanjiang Pavilion!

Worried she might have seen it wrong, Loh Anni even took out her phone to compare with the photos she had taken earlier, and the comparison only served to astound her completely.

Now she could confirm the longevity images on these fragments were exactly the same as those on the Northern Song Dynasty Hundred Longevity Jade Vase!

The fragments before her were actually from that Hundred Shou Jade Vase!

"Annie, what’s wrong with you?" Han Jingting, seeing Loh Anni looking like she had lost her soul, asked in confusion.

"Jingting, where did you get these fragments from?" Loh Anni, excitedly grasping Han Jingting’s arm, asked as if she had seen a ghost.

"This..." Han Jingting paused, then she explained how the vase was a gift from Chen Xuan.

After listening, Loh Anni was completely dumbfounded, "A gift from Chen Xuan? How... How is that possible?"

Just now, Loh Anni was nearly one hundred percent certain that these fragments were definitely from the pair of Northern Song Dynasty Hundred Longevity Jade Vases auctioned off that evening.

But now, she hesitated.

If it were anyone else, it might be possible, but Chen Xuan...

A man without a job, who spent all day just looking after the children and doing household chores like laundry, how could he possibly afford an antique worth twelve million?

That was clearly an impossibility.

Ding Lijuan, noting Loh Anni’s reaction, sensed something was off and asked, "Annie, is there something wrong with this vase?"

"Auntie, to tell you the truth, this vase is identical to the one sold for twelve million at the auction I mentioned earlier!"

"What..."

Upon hearing this, Ding Lijuan and Han Jingting both stood frozen.

A moment later, Ding Lijuan let out a scoffing laugh.

"Annie, you can’t possibly be suggesting that the vase Chen Xuan gifted is worth over ten million, can you?"

Ding Lijuan laughed as if she had just heard the funniest joke in the world, rocking back and forth in her mirth.

Seeing Ding Lijuan’s reaction, Loh Anni doubted her own judgment to the point of absurdity and said with an embarrassed smile, "Maybe I made a mistake."

"Of course, you made a mistake. That good-for-nothing Chen Xuan, let alone ten million, if you sold him he probably wouldn’t even fetch a hundred yuan!"

"Only those upper-class people who appear at Hanjiang Pavilion are the real rich folks who truly have the means to spend over ten million on a vase. That good-for-nothing Chen Xuan could at most spend a hundred yuan on a counterfeit!"

Ding Lijuan shook her head and sneered even more disdainfully at Chen Xuan.

While Han Jingting also hoped that Chen Xuan really had the ability to afford an antique worth over ten million, she knew all too well that this was utterly impossible.

Loh Anni had already stopped believing that Chen Xuan was capable, but Ding Lijuan’s last few words reignited her suspicions.

She suddenly remembered the figure that resembled Chen Xuan which she had seen at Hanjiang Pavilion!

First, she saw that person at Hanjiang Pavilion, and then the Hundred Shou Jade Vase suddenly turned up in their home.

Could it really be just a coincidence?

Moreover, why did Wang Yukun, who had once pursued her fervently, suddenly change his behavior after meeting Chen Xuan?

Taking all of these things together, an astonishing thought suddenly arose in Loh Anni’s mind.

If she hadn’t been mistaken and it really was Chen Xuan in the elevator at Hanjiang Pavilion, then all of this would start to make sense!

It was Chen Xuan who had bought the pair of jade vases, and then he gifted them to Ding Lijuan.

It was also Chen Xuan’s extraordinary identity that caused Wang Yukun to drastically change his attitude after meeting him.

With that, everything became much simpler.

Unfortunately, these were nothing but Loh Anni’s unrealistic fantasies.

Chen Xuan, capable of spending tens of millions? Even Wang Yukun, a scion of a billion-dollar fortune, would be wary of such expenditure.

Even if Loh Anni could believe in ghosts, she would never believe that!

"It seems that today, the grand gesture from private room 888 really shocked me; I actually started to think that Chen Xuan was rich. I’m beyond help!"

Loh Anni shook her head with a bitter smile, deciding not to think about it anymore.

Han Jingting didn’t take Loh Anni’s words to heart at all and, after tidying up the pieces of the Hundred Shou Jade Vase off the floor, casually tossed them into the trash bin.

Naturally, Chen Xuan had no idea that his good intentions had been mistaken for ingratitude by Ding Lijuan.

After leaving Fenghua Residential Area, Chen Xuan first went to the old alleys to deliver another Hundred Shou Jade Vase to Xuu Suzhen.

Unlike Ding Lijuan, Xuu Suzhen was very fond of the gift because it was from Chen Xuan.

Though she didn’t know the value of the jade vase, she treated it as a treasured possession.

By the time Chen Xuan returned to Lakeside Villa, it was already past ten in the evening, but he still made a call to Zheng Qingxue.

"Chen Xuan, calling me so late, what’s the matter?"

In the Zheng Family Manor, Zheng Qingxue, clad in dark blue pajamas, leaned on the headboard with a smile gracing her beautiful face.

"Sorry to disturb you this late. I just wanted to ask, has your brother left yet?"

"Oh, his flight is early tomorrow morning. Do you need him for something?"

"If possible, ask him to postpone his departure by a day. I’ve found a way to treat his chronic ailment!"

"Really!" Zheng Qingxue was overjoyed, sitting up straight.

Chen Xuan nodded, "It’s a bit late today, have him come over tomorrow. Tomorrow, I can help him overcome his bottleneck!"

Zheng Qingxue’s excitement was readily apparent.

She was well aware of what it would mean for the Zheng Family if her cousin, Zheng Yunfeng, could break through his bottleneck—it would elevate the influence of the Zheng Family to a new level.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xuan took a shower and quickly fell asleep.

He didn’t know how much time had passed, but Chen Xuan, while asleep, suddenly sensed something and instantly opened his eyes.

With Chen Xuan’s current abilities, his senses were far beyond those of a normal person. Even in his sleep, nothing in his surroundings could escape his perception.

Chen Xuan expanded his hearing, listening carefully, and immediately heard noises coming from the courtyard.

There were people in the courtyard!

And not just one person!

At this moment, in the darkness, more than twenty stout men dressed in black were approaching the bedroom.

Their movements were light, indicating they all had some skills.

In this dark night, over twenty stout men were like a black venomous snake, silently invading someone else’s territory.

From the window, the corridor, the door, those stout men were all in position.

In the dim light, the leading man, sporting a goatee, made a throat-slitting gesture to the others.

The next moment.

Bang!

Seven or eight men in black burst through the door, wielding short knives and lunged straight for the bed.

Suddenly, several holes were punctured through the duvet, with feathers flying all over the room!
