Chapter 36 Heirlooms
The impression that Jiang Yi that day gave Chu Mufeng was that Chu was pitiful and had a hint of indomitableness.
And now?
At this moment, Jiang Yi was walking towards everyone in a pink plaid lace dress. The petal-like lace skirt echoed the exquisite girl's heart.
Her long black hair is like a waterfall, her delicate face is like a flower and eyebrows are like a crescent moon, and her agile eyes are wandering away. Standing in front of everyone, she is like a white lotus that is not stained with mud.
Delicate and flawless.
As soon as he appeared, it caused a stir.
"Look, look, this Mrs. Helian stands with her daughter, and she looks like a sister, and she doesn't look like a mother and daughter!"
"Do you mean that his daughter is old?"
"Hey, what are you talking about? I didn't say that. I'm saying beautiful, beautiful, do you understand?"
...
When such a marvelous sound rang out, a hint of disdain flashed in Chu Mufeng's eyes.
Are you really envious?
As for the greed and desire that you guys are showing now, anyone who sees it will guess the dirty thoughts in your heart.
Just a group of people who want to be full and warm but want to be selfish!
"This guy!"
On the contrary, Shen Lang, not only did not pay attention to the scenery upstairs at this moment, but continued to tease a little girl beside him, making the other person blush.
"Everyone, this is the little girl Jiang Yi. Maybe some have known her for a long time, maybe some have known her but don't know her relationship with me, maybe they have never seen her before."
"So I'm here to introduce my little girl Jiang Yi, who has been admitted to the National Central University. So on the occasion of the top ranking of the little girl, I have prepared some wine in my house to thank you for your long-term help and care for our mother and daughter."
As soon as Mrs. Helian's words fell, there was a burst of admiration around her.
"Madam Helian is really a blessing. National Central University is a top-notch higher education institution in the country, and all the people who come out are talents!"
"In the future, Ling Yuan will definitely become a pillar of the country."
"Yes, I can still be admitted to the National Central University during my work in the political affairs department. This spirit alone is worth learning from!"
...
After receiving praise from everyone, Jiang Yi's cheeks were slightly red, and she seemed to lower her head shyly, showing her charming and tenderness.
Mrs. Helian looked around and smiled slightly, and then said, "Today I invite everyone here. In addition to celebrating the little girl and thanking everyone, there is another thing I want to announce in front of you."
"I think that with your testimony, I can also reflect my importance to my little girl, which is also a kind of wish I gave to her when she was about to study."
"Mrs. Helian's intentions must be not simple!"
A middle-aged man in a suit and tie stood in the middle of a crowd, couldn't help but say loudly after hearing this.
Anyone who knows him knows that this is the editor-in-chief of Fengwenzheng, Jiang Yi's immediate boss, with his surname Zhang and name Guangsheng.
"Yes, this intention is the heirloom of our Helian family!"
As he said that, Mrs. Helian picked up a wooden box from the tray brought by the servant next to her, opened it in front of everyone, revealing a necklace inside.
The necklace is all silver-white, probably made of platinum, and the middle is a white lotus-shaped golden trunk with countless broken diamonds inlaid with gold, but nothing inside, which looks a bit hollow.
Then Mrs. Helian took off the necklace on her neck, and then easily took off the deep and flawless jade gem in the middle of the necklace and gently embedded it on the white lotus holder.
"This is the gift I want to give to my little girl: Emerald!"
A whisper suddenly came from all around.
"Oh my God, this should be an emerald, right?"
Zhang Guangsheng was marveling. His eyes were flashing with brilliance. His steps subconsciously moved forward, and he said in a little amazement: "Madam Helian, your gem is so pure and so big, it is definitely the best among the best!"
"Yes, I look like emeralds. Our ancestors also had an emerald ring. Although it is not as big as this one, it is also valuable! I didn't expect that Mrs. Helian had such a big piece of it!"
"I remember that last week, an emerald of this kind was auctioned at Pingde Auction House, and it seemed that it was sold at a sky-high price of 60,000 French dollars!"
"Sixty thousand fiat currency, so expensive!"
"I am really worthy of being a big family, and my background is different!"
...
The current fiat currency has just been issued, and its purchasing power is still very strong. It is basically a one-to-one ratio with the ocean, so if it is 60,000 fiat currency, it is definitely a huge sum.
"That's right!"
Hearing the discussions of everyone, Mrs. Helian raised her necklace with a bright smile and said, "This is an emerald, a family heirloom of our Helian family."
"To be honest, our family was considered royal relatives and nobles back then, and there were many rare gifts. However, since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, many of the gifts were sold privately by their families. Only this emerald was preserved and circulated as a heirloom."
Having said that, Mrs. Helian put the necklace on her side and put the necklace on Jiang Yi's neck.
"Today, in front of everyone, I will give my Helian family heirloom to my daughter in front of everyone. I hope that her studies will be successful and will recreate the glory of my Helian family in the past."
"mom!"
After Jiang Yi looked down at the necklace, she couldn't help but jumped into Mrs. Helian's arms with emotion.
"Wow!"
When the onlookers saw this scene, they couldn't help but applaud.
"Everyone, it's getting late. I've prepared a formal dinner on the second floor. Please move on."
Mrs. Helian took Jiang Yi's hand and said with a smile: "The little girl is so talented, but she plays the guzheng well. We enjoy the little girl playing music while eating, as it is to cheer everyone up."
"good!"
Zhang Guangsheng took the lead and cheered: "Everyone, I can't guarantee anything else, but when it comes to the words of Guzheng, Jiang Yi played it well."
"Didn't our newspaper hold a Guzheng competition at the beginning of the year? What do you think? Hey, those who participated in the competition did not compete after seeing Jiang Yi playing, and all quit the competition. Why is there no suspense!"
"Editor Zhang, you are really over-reward!"
Jiang Yi smiled slightly and said, "Mom, take all the VIPs to have a meal first, I'll change my clothes and come!"
"good!"
A group of people went upstairs in high spirits.
Taking advantage of this gap, Jiang Yi, who was sharp-eyed, came to Chu Mufeng and said with a smile: "Captain Chu, I am very happy that you can come to the dinner. Thank you very much that day!"
"You're welcome, that's what I should do."
Chu Mufeng responded and muttered in his heart: You are a typical example of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. If you show your name as a mother, how dare that kid provoke you!
"My mother will come here later and thank you in person! Captain Chu, go first, I'll come right away!" Jiang Yi said generously.
"Okay!" Chu Mufeng nodded slightly.
After Jiang Yi turned around and left, Shen Lang suddenly came over, shook his head and smacked his lips, saying, "Fourth, this girl is pretty good, she has a big butt, and she is the material for raising her son!"
"Can you guy have a bit of a text!" Chu Mufeng said angrily.
"Hehe, don't bite Lu Dongbin and don't know the good people's hearts. I'm thinking about you!" Shen Lang took a pose of saying big truths, but Chu Mufeng had already stepped upstairs.
"Come on, stop being too lazy, hurry up and finish your meal and leave."
"Okay!"
Shen Lang followed upstairs happily.
The dinner with sobbing and chatting kicked off.
As Zhang Guangsheng said, Jiang Yi's Guzheng is indeed delicious, flowing, and has a sense of artistic conception. At least he has more than ten years of skill.
So, Jiang Yi became the object of praise for everyone.
Just as the dinner was about to end, Jiang Yi suddenly ran over, her face full of panic, her eyes full of anxiety, and she stood at the entrance of the stairs and shouted: "Mom, no, that emerald gem is gone!"
"What?"
Mrs. Helian, who had been joking with the guests, heard this and suddenly stood up, walked over quickly, and asked nervously: "What did you say? The emerald was stolen?"
"Mom, look!"
As Jiang Yi said that, he raised the necklace in his hand and saw that the position where the emerald should have been embedded in it has now become a hollow and looks particularly dazzling.
"How could this happen? How did you lose it? Do you know how important that gem is to our family? How could it be lost if it is a good thing?"
Mrs. Helian's face suddenly turned pale, she grabbed the necklace and shouted while watching.
"I... When I went downstairs to change my clothes, I took off my necklace and put it on the dressing table. After playing the guzheng, I went over and prepared to put it away, and I found that the gem was missing."
"I have searched all over the house just now, but I haven't found it. Mom...I...I didn't mean it, and I didn't expect it!"
As he spoke, tears of grievance that had been spinning in his eyes couldn't help but burst out, wetting Jiang Yi's collar.
"Madam Helian, Jiang Yi, don't worry, it's impossible for the gem to disappear for no reason. We are all here, which means that even if the emerald is stolen, it will definitely be on the scene."
Zhang Guangsheng walked forward and said with concern: "Madam Helian, I suggest you call the police now and let the police come over to deal with this matter."
"Yes, yes, call the police!"
Mrs. Helian seemed to have woken up from her anxiety, then slapped her forehead and said to Jiang Yi.
"Xiaoyi, I remember you didn't invite the police department Chu...Captain Chu, is he here?"
"Who is Captain Chu? We need to call the police!"
Jiang Yi raised her head with tears in her eyes, swept her eyes, and then fell to the side of the hall and said.
"Captain Chu, please help me quickly and find that gem!"
Swish.
Everyone's eyes suddenly changed. Chu Mufeng, who was originally just a spectator, suddenly became the focus of the audience.
The emerald gem was stolen!
When Jiang Yi came out to shout, Chu Mufeng's pupils shrank slightly, his brows frowned, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Chapter completed!
