The Crazy Son-In-Law

Yao Cen looked at that smug and pretentious face, and thought about how worried he had just made her. She frowned and gave him a good pinch on his arm, and Xiao Shun almost cried out.

At this time, the staff of the auction had already delivered the jade sculpture.

Yao Cen looked at that smug and thought about how worried he was about the oddly shaped jade sculpture. She felt not only her heart bleeding, but also those strange looks from the people around her.

Would anyone with a right mind buy such a thing?

She gritted her teeth and frowned, “Twenty million for such a thing? You can’t waste your money like that even if you’re rich?”

Xiao Shun smiled but did not say anything. He took the jade sculpture handed over by the attendant, put it in his hand, and secretly injected his spiritual energy slowly into the jade sculpture. Soon, he perceived that the spiritual energy inside it was activated. They started rushing around and eventually scattered in all directions.

The auction had been quite generous with their air conditioning and the temperature was only about sixty degrees.

Those around him, however, felt a constant wave of warm air. It felt like a comfortable cool breeze in a summer night, and it was even more obvious to the few people standing right next to him.

Song Qingshan looked surprised and said, “Mr. Xiao, this is…?”

“This piece of jade is in fact a spirit stone and it nourishes its owner.”

Xiao Shun said. He handed the jade sculpture to Song Qingshan, “Put your hand on it.”

Song Qingshan put his hand on the jade sculpture. At first, he felt a chill, and then a wave of warmth that seeped through his skin and then slowly spread throughout his body.

Past military training had left some wounds on his body. Yesterday, after such a long journey back to this city, he had long felt a little tired. After a few seconds, however, he was surprised to find his body full of vitality.

The first round of the auction had ended.

In the hall, people had already noticed that the jade sculpture Xiao Shun had bought was unusual, and those who had mocked him came around to feel the energy waves the sculpture sent out. They all felt surprised.

Sikong Xing felt so regret that he stared at Xiao Shun with a gloomy face.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Yao Cen was standing next to him, naturally. Subconsciously curious, she asked, “So you knew from the beginning?”

“Yes, or do you really think I’m a fool? I spent so much money.” Xiao Shun laughed and said.

Yao Cen rolled her eyes at him, “Then why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

“You wouldn’t believe even if I said that.”

Yao Cen felt speechless and she said in mild annoyance, “How do you know if you don’t tell me?”

“Mr. Xiao, we meet again.”

At this moment, someone walked over and greeted them. He was Ouyang Zheng. They had met once at Yao Zhenshu’s birthday banquet.

Ouyang Zheng was not much interested in unusual things, so he did not participate in the first round, and he came over just now for the second round where some more premium objects, such as some paintings and antiques, were sold. As the president of the Antiques Association, he naturally could not miss out on it.

Xiao Shun nodded towards him.

“I heard that Mr. Xiao got a certain good thing. It is this jade sculpture?”

Ouyang Zheng just approached and felt something unusual. Even when he greeted Xiao Shun, his eyes were fixed on the jade sculpture that Xiao Shun was holding.

“It was just luck.” Xiao Shun said.

“May I see it? Although I don’t know much about jade, but I have seen quite a few,” Ouyang was asking.

“Of course.” Xiao Shun handed the jade sculpture over.

Ouyang Zheng received the jade sculpture and immediately got the same feeling as Song Qingshan. He instantly changed his face slightly, and surprise was written all over his face. He carefully held the jade sculpture in his hand and carefully examined it.

The sculpture was just ordinary, and so was the jade used.

As the president of the antique association, he had seen enough jade items, but he had never seen something like this.

“This is something I have never seen before, and I can hardly find anything I know from it. One thing is for sure though. This is by no means ordinary.”

Ouyang was returning the jade sculpture to Xiao Shun, and said in a somewhat embarrassed tone.

‘Of course, why should I pay twenty million dollars for some ordinary item.’

Xiao Shun smiled and said, “Thanks a lot.”

Ouyang was thinking for a moment, and said in some embarrassment, “I have been in the antique association for many years, and know a lot of high-end collectors. If Mr. Xiao wants to sell it, I can help you find some reliable buyers.”

Everyone could see that it was actually him who wanted to buy this jade sculpture, he just didn’t quite mean to say it out directly, so he made an excuse.

“How much is Uncle Ouyang going to pay for this jade sculpture?”

Before Xiao Shun could say anything, Song Qingshan was the first to say.

No one would like to miss out on such an extraordinary item. He wanted it after he sensed the extraordinary nature of the jade sculpture. Although he was a straightforward person, when it came to money, he was like Ouyang Zheng, not very good at speaking directly.

At this point it just so happened that Ouyang was giving him a good opportunity.

Xiao Shun spent 20 million for it, so it would not be less than that at least, and that alone had made it quite prohibitive to most of the people in the hall. But there were still a lot of people there who were full of interest and could afford the price. At this point they finally heard someone haggle, so they all came around.

Ouyang was holding out five fingers without expression. Fifty million.

“Fifty million! My God! He directly doubled the price!”

“Bluffing, right? This thing would be worth fifty million?”

“Shut up, he is the president of the antique society of this city! Can he be wrong?”

Fifty million was enough to kick ninety percent of the crowd out of the game.

Xiao Shun naturally understood that Ouyang Zheng and Song Qingshan were interested in buying the jade sculpture. This thing was of little use to him, so for sure he wouldn’t want to keep it.

But he had already figured out what to do with this thing.

He smiled lightly and said to Ouyang Zheng, “I have found a buyer, but still, thanks a lot.”

“If that’s the case, I will not be bothering you here.” said Ouyang Zheng with some regret.

After Ouyang Zheng left, Xiao Shun handed the jade sculpture to Song Qingshan and said, “Take this back to your father. This thing can ensure his good health in the next twenty years.”

“Really?”

Song Qingshan was surprised, then he hastily waved his hand and said, “I can’t… I can’t take this.”

“I didn’t say I’d give it to you for free.” Xiao Shun laughed.

Song Qingshan took the jade sculpture, showed a plain smile, and said readily, “Mr. Xiao, how much do I have to pay you?”

“Just give me back the money I spent.”

Song Qingshan frowned, and then said.

“Why? According to you, this is a priceless treasure. Can I first bring it back to my father? I’ll just let him make the decision. How’s that?”

Xiao Shun also did not care about such things, “Whatever you want.”
