Chen Jin looked at Gu Qingyao, then looked at Mo Beihan who was standing next to her. He gulped!
She was truly worthy of being Elder Brother’s girl. She was amazing!
But he cleverly forbore asking questions. In his line of work, he knew the rules – deal without asking questions.
Chen Jin was about to speak, but Gu Qingyao was not yet done. She also took a kilogram of raisins, two kilograms of melon seeds, a kilogram of dried strawberries, and three kilograms of dried apricots from her basket!
Gu Qingyao pinched a dried strawberry and popped it into her mouth. “Try some. They’re delicious.”
Chen Jin: “…”
Chen Jin looked at the things on the table. He had never eaten such preserved fruits in his life!
What good things had he not seen in his line of work? But today, this young girl had completely floored him!
Gu Qingyao raised her brows at Chen Jin’s shocked expression. When she thought carefully, she seemed to recall that Chen Jin was one of Mo Beihan’s adherents. Later on, Mo Beihan had moved to the capital and returned to the Mo home, and Chen Jin had followed him. He had done fairly well too!
pαпᵈα-noνɐ1·сoМ He was sharp and well connected. To be frank, he got along with all kinds of people, on both sides of the law. In addition, Mo Beihan had promoted him, which allowed this fellow to do even better.
But she had not had much contact with him and had only seen him a few times in her previous life.
Mo Beihan was extremely well connected and she could not remember them all.
Young fellow!
I can see that you have a bright future. Let me give you a boost!
Chen Jin could not help but pop a piece of dried strawberry in his mouth. It was both sweet and sour and absolutely delectable. If a grown man like him liked it so much, one could imagine how the women and children would receive it!
Chen Jin could not help but eat a piece of dried apricot. He almost drooled.
Chen Jin hurriedly swallowed his saliva and said, “Sister… Sister-in-law, I’ll take them, I’ll take them all. Here… I have eight hundred dollars which people paid me in advance. I still have some other things. Hold on!”
Chen Jin hurried to get the items. His steps were especially swift.
Because he understood that the rarer and more expensive the item, the more those important people would desire them. It was no easy matter to build connections with these people!
Sister-in-law?
Gu Qingyao raised a brow and glanced at Mo Beihan. Mo Beihan covered his mouth and coughed softly. He could barely hide his smile.
Gu Qingyao was amused and did not deny it!
Chen Jin returned before long. He carried several small boxes with him, and when he opened them, they could see that they also contained gems.
There was a slightly larger box with some snuff bottles, trays for washing brushes, ink stones, and other small items.
Then he ran to another room and dragged out a huge box.
“There are a lot of things here that I collected from some remote areas. They came from farmers who probably looted the landlords’ houses, then secretly hid them.”
“They said these are antiques, but I’m not certain about some of them. Why don’t you take a look and see if you want them?”
Chen Jin displayed the items and allowed Gu Qingyao to take her pick.
Among the gems and jewelry, Gu Qingyao selected six jade bangles, three sets of rose gold hair ornaments, and four sets of diamond jewelry which included a necklace, earrings, bangles, rings, and a brooch!
Then she selected three top-quality gem necklaces, twelve rings set with gemstones, and six diamond rings.
In addition, she selected two sets of pearl jewelry. The pearls were of good quality, but the settings were old-fashioned. They were probably of the old Shanghainese style. Her grandmother would like these.
Lastly, she selected two pearl head ornaments set with gems and tiny diamonds. These were special.
They had a vintage feel, but also had the classic Shanghainese charm. They were very special and very beautiful!
Gu Qingyao liked them the moment she set eyes on them.
