Chapter 306: City Lake under the Moonlight
"This imitation is quite real." Wang Lu looked at it for a while, and could not see any traces of the imitation with his naked eyes. However, he did not believe that this was the real thing, so he took another magnification and carefully watched the Buddha pendant.
"How is this Buddha pendant good? "Ma Qiushuang saw Wang Lu looking at it for so long but had not spoken, and asked anxiously.
"Let me take a look." Wang Lu's expression was a bit strange now. He was already looking at this Buddha pendant with a mentality of finding faults. However, no matter how he looked, he could not see any defects in this Buddha pendant. It was not the best jade produced by using inferior jade and using injection molding techniques.
But Wang Lu could not believe that this would be a real piece of glass-type red jade. This value was too high. Even Liu Jun would probably not give such a gift to others casually.
"How is it?" Ma Qiushuang saw that Wang Lu's expression was a little wrong. After looking at it, she was reluctant to speak for a long time. She didn't know what Wang Lu was doing.
"Li Mu, where did you buy this piece of jade?" Wang Lu didn't dare to determine that this piece of jade was inferior, but he was unwilling to believe that it was a real piece of jade, so he wanted to test Li Mu first with words.
"Once I went to Ruili with my friend and bought a few rough stones to play with. This was solved from one of the rough stones." Li Mu said calmly.
After hearing what Li Mu said, Wang Lu's expression suddenly became subtle. If it was really solved directly from the original stone, then this piece of red jade should undoubtedly be a real person. At least people like him who work in this industry cannot see any problem, so the possibility of being a fake is already very low.
Liu Jun also saw that Wang Lu's expression was not right. However, he couldn't say anything, so he could only continue to wait and see.
"Wang Lu. How is this piece of jade?" Ma Qiushuang asked anxiously.
"It's not bad, it should be worth some money." Wang Lu wanted to say that this piece of red jade is not good. But he couldn't say that. Li Mu had been to Ruili, and maybe he was a person who knew jade. If he insisted that this jade was not good, he would be ridiculed by Li Mu.
"Is this jade valuable?" Lu Xuejia looked at Wang Lu's expression and knew that this jade might not be as simple as it was not bad.
"It should be very valuable." Although Wang Lu was unwilling, he had to tell the truth when he reached this point: "Glass-type jade is rare, and this piece is a rare red jade. The color is also the best. Such a pendant should be sold for millions. If you are lucky, it is not impossible to sell it for tens of millions when you meet someone who likes this thing."
"What? Tens of millions?" Everyone except Li Mu opened their eyes wide. Li Chengqian looked at the Buddha pendant with an incredible look on his face. He really couldn't figure it out. The small Buddha pendant that looked like a glass product would actually be worth tens of millions.
"This Buddha pendant is really worth tens of millions?" Ma Qiushuang still looked at Wang Lu and asked again without believing it.
"There should be no mistake." Wang Lu returned the fall to Lu Xuejia.
After Lu Xuejia took it, she directly returned it to Li Mu: "This thing is too expensive, I can't accept it."
"This is cut out from a few rough stones I bought for a few thousand yuan. My friend asked someone to help carve it. The cost is not worth much. As for how much it really costs, I don't know very well. I'll give it to you, it's just a thought. It's just a birthday gift, and it has nothing to do with the value. If you refuse to accept this gift, where do you ask me to get the birthday gift for you?" Naturally, there was no reason for taking back what Li Mu gave it, and he refused to reach out to pick up the Buddha pendant.
"But this is too expensive, I really can't accept it." Lu Xuejia refused to accept such expensive things and insisted on returning them to Li Mu.
"I have already given my birthday gift, and there are no other gifts. If you don't like it, throw it away. The gift I gave will definitely not be taken back." Li Mu said calmly.
"This... well... I'll send you a gift back when you celebrate your birthday." Seeing that Li Mu had no intention of joking, Lu Xuejia knew that it was not good for him to insist on returning it, so she had to put away the Buddha pendant for the time being.
Liu Jun and others looked at Li Mu. It would be fine if Li Mu didn't know the value of the Buddha pendant. Li Mu knew the value of the Buddha pendant and insisted on giving the Buddha pendant to Lu Xuejia, which was a bit surprising.
Li Chengqian even shouted wildly: "Li Mu, what are you doing? That's something worth tens of millions. You actually gave it to someone as a birthday gift. Are you crazy or stupid? Just a woman? Are you as for it? You are lucky enough to get such a good thing. How many more opportunities do you think you will have in your life?"
Li Chengqian wished that Lu Xuejia would really throw the Buddha pendant into the lake next to him, so he jumped out of the lake to pick it up.
Although he didn't know if Li Mu was really so generous and was still pretending to be fat, he actually gave Lu Xuejia such a priceless Buddhist pendant without hesitation, which made Ma Qiushuang look at him with some admiration.
Wang Lu regretted it a little. He heard from Li Mu that he had no idea of the value of this Buddha pendant. He shouldn't have told the truth just now, nor would he let Li Mu show off like this.
The atmosphere of the birthday celebration became a bit subtle, and Liu Jun also changed his words to a lot less. After dinner, everyone chose the wooden house on the island to rest.
"Li Mu, are you really stupid or fake? So you really gave the valuable stuff to that woman?" Li Chengqian followed Li Mu to his room, looking at Li Mu with a look of regret and said.
"The delivery has been sent out, I can't go and ask for it back, right?" Li Mu said with a smile.
"Yes, you have to come back. That's something worth tens of millions. How many tens of millions can you still have in your life?" Li Chengqian wished he could run over and take the Buddha pendant back.
"I can't pull that kind of face off." Li Mu said.
"How much is the face worth? If you have 10 million yuan, buy a house and a car, what kind of woman you want? If you give it to that woman, you can't even touch it. It's useless." Li Chengqian said anxiously.
"Let's talk about it later. I'm a little tired and want to rest. You can go back to sleep too." Li Mu pushed Li Chengqian out and closed the wooden door.
"Hey... listen to me..." Li Chengqian slammed the door and shouted a few more times. Seeing that Li Mu ignored him, he had to go back to his room hatefully.
After a while, Li Mu's cell phone rang, and it was Lu Xuejia who asked him to take a walk by the lake.
Today is not the middle of the moon, there is only a crescent moon in the sky, shining on the lake, and it is also a little brighter.
Li Mu and Lu Xuejia walked shoulder to shoulder on the stone road by the lake. After walking for a while, Lu Xuejia took out a small box from her pocket and stuffed it into Li Mu's hand.
"What are you doing?" Li Mu naturally recognized that this was the box where the Buddha pendant was placed.
"I have accepted your wishes, and I am very moved, but you have to take them back. The value of the things doesn't matter to me. I just need to know your wishes." Lu Xuejia felt that Li Mu was not a rich man. She finally got such a valuable piece of jade, so she could not just accept them. She couldn't do such a thing.
Moreover, Lu Xuejia is not a blind person. Although she has always had such a girlish dream in her heart, her reunion with Li Mu made her very happy, but after all, the two of them have been separated for too long. She doesn't know Li Mu at all, and it is even more impossible to accept such a precious gift from Li Mu, and it is impossible to make any promises to Li Mu.
Li Mu didn't say much, picked up the box and threw it directly into the sparkling city lake. With a plop, the box fell into the lake water from afar, rippling with ripples.
"What are you doing?" Lu Xuejia was immediately anxious. It was too late to stop Li Mu.
"I said that it was my birthday gift for you. If you don't like it, then throw it away." Li Mu said calmly.
"You..." Lu Xuejia bit her lip and stared at Li Mu. Under Li Mu's burning eyes, Lu Xuejia softened after a while and sighed: "After so many years, your temper has not changed at all. You are still so stubborn. You look like a gentle person, but once you make a decision, you are like a tyrant and don't allow others to resist. This is not good."
"There is no way. People say that the country is easy to change and nature is hard to change. My temper cannot be changed." Li Mu laughed.
"If I had known that you still had this temper, I wouldn't have returned the Buddha pendant to you. It's really ruined now. The lake is so big, I don't know if it can be fished up." Lu Xuejia looked at the lake with some worries.
"What are you doing when you fish it out? You don't want it anyway, it's useless to fish it out." Li Mu said.
Lu Xuejia gave Li Mu a blank look: "You are the uncle, you are the emperor. You said you asked me to accept it. How dare I not accept it? I will ask people nearby to salvage it tomorrow. I hope I can find it."
"If you want it, you don't have to wait for tomorrow. I'll take it back for you." Li Mu smiled.
Lu Xuejia suddenly showed anger and pinched Li Mu's waist hard: "It turns out that you didn't throw it away, and you deliberately lied to me. You are so hateful."
Li Mu stretched out his big hand to grab Lu Xuejia's jade hand and said with a smile: "I didn't lie to you. I really threw it into the lake just now. I'll go to the lake to get it back."
Lu Xuejia's face turned red and wanted to break free from Li Mu's hand. She struggled for a few times but couldn't pull it out. She glared at Li Mu fiercely: "I heard that the city lake is dug very deep now, it's so big, and the sky is so dark. How can you fish it? You'd better wait until you ask someone to salvage it tomorrow."
Li Mu didn't answer, but just smiled at Lu Xuejia, took her hand and walked towards the lake. (To be continued...)
