Chapter 158: Chapter 158: That is for Flower Arranging

The next day was the weekend, and Chen Xuan went back to the old hutong with Xiao Yu early in the morning.

Not long after Chen Xuan left, Han Jingting, who was in the office, thought of something and immediately called Loh Anni.

"I bought a new outfit for Xiao Yu’s grandmother. I planned to have Chen Xuan take it over, but I forgot. Could you run an errand for me if you’re not too busy?"

Loh Anni was quite displeased, "Big sister, you’re really playing the dutiful wife. Aren’t you and that loser almost divorced? Why are you still buying things for his mom?"

"That’s a separate matter. Do you have time or not? If you’re busy, I can go another day."

Loh Anni sighed, "Fine, I’ll go for you. Who made me like you so much!"

A doting smile appeared on Han Jingting’s face, "I knew you were the best, thank you!"

After hanging up the phone, Loh Anni picked up the new clothes bought by Han Jingting and went straight to the old hutong.

Half an hour later, looking at the dilapidated old hutong, Loh Anni’s face was full of disdain.

To her, a place so poor and backward was somewhere she never wanted to visit in her lifetime; it simply lowered her status as a wealthy and beautiful woman.

Having finally found the place, Loh Anni knocked on the courtyard door impatiently.

"Chen Xuan, open the door!"

The courtyard door opened, but it was Xuu Suzhen who came out. "Miss, who are you?"

"Oh, I’m Jingting’s friend. Jingting bought some clothes for you and asked me to bring them over."

Loh Anni said as she casually handed over the clothes to Xuu Suzhen.

Xuu Suzhen was delighted, "Jingting really shouldn’t have. I haven’t even worn the clothes she bought last time. Why buy more? Miss, thank you for making the trip. Come in and rest, have some water."

Loh Anni rolled her eyes. Such a shabby place didn’t deserve her entrance.

"It’s okay, I have other things to do, so I’ll be leaving."

Loh Anni turned to leave.

But the next moment, when her gaze accidentally swept over something in the yard, she was rooted to the spot.

She saw, sitting casually on top of the TV cabinet in the living room, an item she had seen in the Hanjiang Pavilion.

It was the Northern Song Dynasty Hundred Longevity Jade Vase, worth twelve million!

"That... that is..."

Loh Anni, pointing at the Hundred Shou Jade Vase, was too excited to speak coherently.

Xuu Suzhen glanced back, "Oh, that was given to me by Xiao Xuan, he said it was for holding flowers."

Loh Anni was struck as if by lightning.

An antique worth over ten million, used for holding flowers?

Loh Anni felt her sense of value had been hit like never before.

"Auntie, may I take a look at the jade vase?"

"Of course you can."

Loh Anni rushed into the living room, picked up the jade vase, and scrutinized it carefully.

The vase was engraved with the Hundred Shou Scroll, identical to what she had seen in the Hanjiang Pavilion!

Taking into consideration the vase Ding Lijuan received earlier, Loh Anni was almost entirely sure that what she was seeing was the Northern Song Dynasty Hundred Shou Jade Vase, individually valued at six million!

"Auntie, that vase looks really pretty. I like these kinds of vases the most. How about this, I give you two hundred yuan, and you sell the vase to me?"

The Xuu Suzhen in front of her clearly didn’t know the value of the vase, using it for flowers was nothing short of a waste.

This time, Loh Anni truly saw an opportunity to make a fortune and wanted to take advantage of it.

Xuu Suzhen didn’t think much of it, "Miss, you’re too polite; there’s no need for money. You’re Jingting’s friend, and if you like the vase, just take it with you."

"Really... really?"

Loh Anni couldn’t believe it.

Was it really possible that she got her hands on a six million antique jade vase just like that?

Wasn’t that too easy?

"Then thank you very much, auntie!"

Loh Anni nonchalantly threw away the flowers inside the vase and hugged the Hundred Shou Jade Vase in her arms, her whole being already brimming with excitement.

This wasn’t just any vase; it was essentially a huge windfall of six million!

In her heart, Loh Anni was already reveling in how she would splurge all the cash once the vase was exchanged for money!

However, just at that moment, a voice suddenly erupted from outside.

"Put that thing down!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xuan walked into the living room leading Xiao Yu.

"Chen Xuan?" Loh Anni felt somewhat guilty, as if caught committing a crime.

But Chen Xuan’s expression was icy, "That vase was a gift I gave to my mother, who gave you permission to touch it!"

Xuu Suzhen hurriedly explained, "Xiao Xuan, you’ve misunderstood, I was just giving it to this girl because I saw that she liked the vase."

"Liked it?" Chen Xuan looked at Loh Anni and snorted coldly, "It seems to me that she’s not only interested in the vase, but other things as well!"

"What do you mean by that, Chen Xuan?"

Chen Xuan just smiled faintly, "What do I mean? You should know better than anyone else!"

Loh Anni had also been at the Hanjiang Pavilion that day and, of course, knew the value of the Hundred Shou Jade Vase.

Now, taking the chance while he wasn’t home, she actually tried to trick his mother into giving her the vase.

Chen Xuan had a clear view of what she was really after.

A chill settled in Loh Anni’s heart. Could it be that this guy knew the value of the jade vase?

In fact, Loh Anni herself had always been puzzled: How could Chen Xuan, with his status and resources, possibly afford an antique worth over ten million yuan? That was simply impossible!

A thought struck Loh Anni, and she began to insinuate indirectly, "To tell you the truth, my friend bought a pair of Northern Song Dynasty Hundred Longevity Jade Vases at the Hanjiang Pavilion a month ago, exactly like this one. But they were worth over ten million yuan!"

"Over ten million yuan?" Xuu Suzhen’s eyes widened in shock.

Chen Xuan just smiled faintly, "Is that so? If you hadn’t told me, I would’ve truly been unaware that this vase was worth that much money!"

Loh Anni snorted coldly, casting a scrutinizing glance at Chen Xuan, "I actually want to ask you, where did you get such an expensive vase from?"

Loh Anni deliberately fabricated a lie, just to probe into Chen Xuan’s secrets.

Chen Xuan, of course, understood Loh Anni’s intention but didn’t care at all, casually remarking, "It was a gift from a friend."

"A gift from a friend?" Loh Anni looked at him with disdain, "With your kind of status, you know a friend who just hands out gifts worth millions? You think I would believe that?"

"Whether you believe it or not, what does it have to do with me? Do I need to explain myself to you?"

Loh Anni still wouldn’t give up, "Fine, since you say it’s a gift from a friend, then show some guts and tell me, what is the name of your friend?"

"No comment!"

Chen Xuan really didn’t want to waste words on this woman.

"Alright, you can leave if there is nothing else. You’re not welcome in my home!" Chen Xuan opened the door and issued his eviction order directly.

"You..."

Ashamed and enraged, Loh Anni reluctantly put down the jade vase and walked out angrily.

Watching Loh Anni’s retreating figure, Chen Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He had thought that this woman was merely arrogant and materialistic, but he never expected her to be so blatantly greedy for money.

It seemed that in the future, he really should steer clear of such people!
