SAG -Chapter 59 Meng Mingxuan’s Suspicion

Liu Lu did not speak too definitively.

Otherwise, if Zhang Ran refused later, she was afraid Wang Jiajia would be caught in an awkward position.

Before doing anything, Liu Lu always considered other people’s circumstances first.

After hearing her explanation, Wang Jiajia thought for a moment and said, “Alright. I’ll help you ask.”

“But I only met this person through my best friend, so I don’t know the details very well.”

“When the time comes, Sis, you should still be careful.”

“Thank you.”

“It’s nothing. Just a small matter.”

Wang Jiajia then sent Fan Kai a message.

After the photo shoot, they had added each other as friends.

She explained the situation to Fan Kai, though she didn’t speak too definitely either.

She only said there was some interest in selling.

Fan Kai soon saw Wang Jiajia’s message.

The moment he read it, he became excited.

He hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly.

Originally, he had still been wondering how to get his hands on the necklace.

Just as he was struggling to find a way, the necklace had practically delivered itself to his door.

However, Fan Kai did not rush.

He knew impatience would ruin things.

Besides, he couldn’t produce one million yuan right now anyway.

He had indeed earned quite a lot over the years, but he had spent even more.

But he didn’t need to buy it with his own money.

Moreover, he had no intention of spending that much on a women’s necklace.

Fan Kai found another phone and posted a status update, attaching photos he had taken of the necklace.

“Andrew masterwork available for sale. Interested buyers, contact me. [Image] [Image] [Image]”

The people on this account were all wealthy individuals—company owners, executives, rich second-generation heirs, and nouveau riche.

These were connections he had accumulated over the years.

He had done this kind of thing before, and quite often at that.

Because of his work, he frequently traveled all over the world.

When he saw rare or unique items, he might not want to buy them for himself, but he could purchase them and resell them to these people.

He simply earned the price difference.

Everyone knew this, and no one cared.

They got the things they liked, and Fan Kai earned money.

It was a normal transaction.

As for how much Fan Kai made in the middle, that was his own ability.

No one bothered thinking too deeply about it.

Only after posting the status did he reply to Wang Jiajia.

At the hospital.

“Sis, Teacher Fan replied.”

“He said the price should be about right, but he isn’t completely sure whether the necklace is genuine.”

“If you really want to sell it, he can help take a closer look.”

Wang Jiajia said.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Lu replied, “Then ask if he can look at it first.”

“If it’s real, we’ll decide later whether to sell it.”

Wang Jiajia quickly replied.

Fan Kai smiled when he saw the message and wrote back, “Sure. If you’re free tomorrow, you can come find me.”

To him, Liu Lu’s hesitation was nothing more than an attempt to raise the price and gain an advantage in negotiations.

He had encountered this sort of thing many times before.

Half an hour later, Fan Kai received a message.

“Is this necklace genuine?”

Seeing who had sent it, Fan Kai’s heart began to race.

“It’s real. No matter how bold I am, I wouldn’t dare deceive you, Sister Ning.”

“You’re an expert yourself. You’ll be able to tell at a glance when you see it.”

“Besides, don’t you know my reputation after all these years?”

Fan Kai replied.

“Fine. When can I see it? As long as it’s genuine, the price won’t be a problem,” Sister Ning replied.

“You can come see it tomorrow. Same rules as usual,” Fan Kai said.

The “same rules” meant that she could inspect the item, but she could not make an offer in front of the seller.

She had to complete the transaction through Fan Kai.

Sister Ning was familiar with this arrangement.

This was not her first time cooperating with Fan Kai like this.

That evening, Meng Mingxuan was drinking with a group of friends.

After what had happened that day, he kept feeling uneasy, so he wanted to blow off some steam.

“Mingxuan, help me check whether this necklace is also one of Master Andrew’s works, like your bracelet.”

Ning Qing handed him her phone.

Meng Mingxuan said casually, “Sis, how would I know? I only found out about mine after asking someone to check it.”

“I told you to look, so look. Why are you babbling so much?”

Ning Qing was not polite at all.

They were close friends, so there was no need to be overly courteous.

“Fine.”

Meng Mingxuan took the phone and examined it carefully.

“You know, it really does look similar.”

“Even from the photos, you can tell the quality should be good.”

“And even if it isn’t Master Andrew’s work, this is still an excellent piece of jewelry.”

Meng Mingxuan judged based on his own feeling.

“And it looks a bit like my sister’s necklace. It should be right.”

“Then I’m relieved.”

“Come with me tomorrow to take a look,” Ning Qing said.

“Sis, I have things to do tomorrow. Can you not drag me into this?”

Meng Mingxuan had wanted to use these two days to rest properly. He didn’t want to go out.

Ning Qing chuckled.

“Sure. But then things with my uncle might become a little difficult.”

Meng Mingxuan immediately changed his tune.

“Sis, now you’re treating me like an outsider.”

“Your business is my business.”

“Call me when you go tomorrow.”

Ning Qing’s uncle owned a renovation company.

Meng Mingxuan had asked Ning Qing for help—not because of the price, but because he could trust her.

He didn’t want any strange problems with the renovation later.

If something went wrong, it would make him look bad too.

“Then it’s settled.”

Ning Qing looked at him as if he at least knew how to behave.

“But lately, why are there suddenly so many of Master Andrew’s works?”

“You have one. Your sister has one. Now another one has appeared.”

A little chubby man beside them spoke with a smile.

Hearing that, Meng Mingxuan also grew suspicious.

Master Andrew’s works rarely appeared on the market anymore.

Most people who owned such things were not short of money.

They usually kept them as collectibles or used them themselves.

He knew that his and Meng Zixuan’s pieces had both been gifts from Zhang Ran.

So where had this one come from?

And from the look of it, it seemed to belong to the same series as Meng Zixuan’s necklace.

Meng Mingxuan suddenly thought of Liu Lu.

He knew Zhang Ran had also given Liu Lu a gift.

Could it be…

Meng Mingxuan shook his head, trying not to dwell on it.

In any case, he was going tomorrow too.

He would know once he saw it.

At this point, even if Ning Qing didn’t want him to go, he would still insist on taking a look.

After thinking briefly, he decided to bring his sister along tomorrow as well.

If the necklace really was from the same series as hers, then he would have to ask some serious questions.

Meng Mingxuan still didn’t know that because Fan Kai didn’t have enough money on hand, he had chosen to arrange for both sides to meet together.
