My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World
Chapter 774: The Legendary Dong Zhu
Walking along the pedestrian pathway, Feng Xiyan looked at Bai Hanyun, who was walking beside him, and asked, "Yun’er, where do you want to go next?"
Bai Hanyun smiled and replied, "To the gold store."
Since she couldn’t cash out her antiques today, she could only sell some gold jewelry for quick cash to buy the construction materials for Feng Xiyan.
Knowing what she was thinking, Feng Xiyan smiled. "Alright."
Bai Hanyun led Feng Xiyan to the nearest gold store located just outside the antique street where the Gu Bao Antique Store and her Bai Feng Antique Store were located.
Pointing at the huge building across the street, she said, "Xiyan, that is the nearest gold store. Let’s just walk there."
Feng Xiyan nodded in agreement, then held Bai Hanyun’s hand.
They waited for the traffic light to change before crossing the wide street filled with vehicles and busy pedestrians.
Arriving outside the five-floor building, Bai Hanyun calmly scanned the gold jewelry and valuable gems displayed inside glass boxes behind the glass windows.
Seeing that the gold store also sold jade jewelry, diamond jewelry, and other gemstone jewelry, Bai Hanyun’s eyes lit up.
She pulled on Feng Xiyan’s coat and said in a low voice, "Xiyan, cover me."
Feng Xiyan knew what she wanted to do, so he led her to the wall. Spreading his black trench coat, he perfectly concealed Bai Hanyun between himself and the wall.
While Feng Xiyan blocked the sight of curious strangers, Bai Hanyun quickly took out two Dong Zhu from her spatial ring.
Casually storing the Dong Zhu in her pocket, she said, "It’s done."
Hearing this, Feng Xiyan nodded, then held her hand.
Bai Hanyun smiled and led him into the gold store.
When one of the salespersons saw them approaching, he quickly opened the glass door for them.
Bowing slightly, he politely said, "Welcome to the Gold Treasury, dear customers. I will be your service assistant today. You can just call me Xiao Lu."
Bai Hanyun nodded in response.
Xiao Lu saw that Bai Hanyun and Feng Xiyan were holding hands, so he asked, "Are you two visiting today to buy engagement rings?"
Bai Hanyun didn’t expect him to say that and hurriedly waved her hand. "No, no, no. We came to sell something."
When he heard this, Xiao Lu’s expression didn’t change in the slightest. He made an inviting gesture and said, "I see. Our buy-back section is located on the second floor. Miss, please come this way."
"Mhm."
With Xiao Lu leading the way, Bai Hanyun and Feng Xiyan followed him to the second floor.
Along the way, Feng Xiyan stared at Bai Hanyun thoughtfully.
Arriving on the second floor, Bai Hanyun scanned the surroundings and saw that there was also a lot of jewelry displayed there.
"Customers, this way, please." Xiao Lu’s words pulled Bai Hanyun out of her thoughts.
Bai Hanyun nodded and followed him to one of the small rooms hidden behind the wall.
Gesturing for Bai Hanyun and Feng Xiyan to take a seat, Xiao Lu sat across from them and asked, "Customers, may I see what kind of jewelry you two want to sell?"
Bai Hanyun took the two Dong Zhu out of her autumn coat’s pocket, then casually placed them on the plate covered with thick but soft fabric in front of her.
The second Xiao Lu saw the two Dong Zhu, he thought he was imagining things. Blinking twice, he pushed up his glasses slightly, put on a pair of white gloves, and then reached out to pick up one of the Dong Zhu.
Holding the Dong Zhu, Xiao Lu turned on the special light used to identify pearls and gemstones, then used it to carefully inspect the Dong Zhu.
A few minutes later, he looked at the Dong Zhu in his trembling hands.
’No way... Is this really the legendary Dong Zhu?’
Filled with doubt, Xiao Lu put the Dong Zhu back on the plate. He stood up, bowed slightly, then said, "Customers, I’m not a specialist regarding pearls, so I need to ask my manager to take a look at your pearls. Is that alright with you?"
It was only right for them to be careful when buying things to avoid being scammed or buying fake items, so Bai Hanyun nodded in agreement.
"Sure."
After receiving her answer, Xiao Lu left in a hurry.
Before long, he returned with a tall, slender woman in a formal business suit.
The second she stepped into the small room, the manager smiled and quickly apologized, "I’m sorry to have kept you two waiting."
Bai Hanyun shook her head at her words. "No problem. We didn’t wait long."
The manager then took a seat across from her, put on her white gloves, and began to carefully inspect the two Dong Zhu.
Ten minutes later, cold sweat slowly slid down her forehead. The manager took a deep breath to calm herself, then looked at Bai Hanyun and Feng Xiyan.
After a brief moment of observation, she said, "Dear customers, if I’m not mistaken, these should be the legendary Dong Zhu."
Bai Hanyun nodded but remained silent.
Seeing that she admitted it without hesitation, the manager was stunned for a moment.
Regaining her senses, she asked, "Miss, can you tell me where you got these Dong Zhu?"
"They are heirlooms passed down through generations in my family," Bai Hanyun lied smoothly without blinking an eye.
Sitting beside her, Feng Xiyan couldn’t help glancing at his fiancée.
This was the first time Feng Xiyan had accompanied Bai Hanyun while she was discussing business. Seeing that her attitude toward Li Qin and this gold store’s manager was very different, he couldn’t help but think in admiration,
’So this is what she looks like when doing business. My Yun’er is indeed very capable. She knows when to act and when to be sincere.’
While Feng Xiyan stared at Bai Hanyun with admiration, the manager frowned slightly. She was certain that these two Dong Zhu were genuine, but she was not sure whether Bai Hanyun was telling the truth.
If Bai Hanyun was lying about the source of these two Dong Zhu, there might be a lot of trouble in the future. However, giving up on these Dong Zhu was impossible.
After struggling for a moment, the manager finally gritted her teeth.
