Chapter 171: Starry Sky (I) Chapter 171: Starry Sky (I)
"Grandpa Jiang, what exactly did you talk about on the phone?" After entering the study, Qiu Ye stopped pretending. She helped Grandpa Jiang to a chair and sat down to ask him carefully. You know, Grandpa Jiang didn't explain clearly on the phone. He just said he would talk about it when they met, which made her worried all the way. She always wondered if there was something wrong with her jade.
Grandpa Jiang paused, somewhat afraid to look at Qiu Ye, coughed and said: "This is not bad news for you. From another perspective, it is also a good thing."
After seeing Grandpa Jiang's unclear words, Qiu Ye stopped talking and became even more anxious. "Hey, Grandpa Jiang, just tell me what's the matter. We are so familiar with each other. It doesn't matter if you accidentally damaged my jade carving. I don't blame you."
"Nonsense, nonsense. Your Grandpa Jiang's craftsmanship is the best. How could he ruin the jade carving? Even if there is a small mistake, with my skills, I can bring it back to health." Grandpa Jiang's beard was shaking with anger. He was a master in jade carving, so he couldn't stand anyone doubting his craftsmanship.
Qiu Ye didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly, meaning if this is the reason, then tell me what it is.
"It's a long story..." Old Master Jiang pretended to pick up the tea and took a sip.
"Let's make it short." Qiu Ye said simply.
Mr. Jiang was choked and said with a smack of his lips: "I won't beat around the bush with you. I have made the baby's breath that you asked me to make last time you came."
Qiu Ye nodded. He could imagine that a set of jewelry would take at least half a year to complete. However, the point the old man wanted to make was definitely not this. There must be something more to it.
Sure enough, Mr. Jiang looked at Qiu Ye and saw that she was staring at him expressionlessly, so he continued, "But someone else took a fancy to it and came home to buy it. That's why I asked you to come over quickly. This set of jewelry is yours, and only you have the right to decide whether to sell it or not."
In Grandpa Jiang's life, everything except jade is dirt, so in his mind, it is normal for someone to like that set of baby's breath, but if someone wants to buy it with money, that is a blasphemy.
Qiu Ye thought for a while and asked, "Is the other party from a powerful background? Can he not sell it?" She knew Mr. Jiang's character. If an ordinary person said such a thing, he would have sent the person away long ago. He would not be so embarrassed. The other party must be from a powerful background.
"Well, it's not small, but it's mainly because you helped me a lot in the early years, and I can't refuse directly, so I've delayed it until now and let you decide." Old Master Jiang was very ashamed. It was all because of him. It was very likely that Xiao Ye would be forced to sell the baby's breath. Alas, it doesn't matter what you owe, but you can't owe favors to others.
Qiu Ye thought about it in her mind. She didn't have the integrity to despise money. If the set of baby's breath could really be sold for a good price, it might not be a bad thing. Anyway, she still had the jade in her hand. If she liked it, she could ask Grandpa Jiang to make another set for her. There was no need to offend big shots and be so stingy with money. She wanted to buy a house in BJ, but it would cost a lot of money.
Seeing Qiu Ye sitting there without saying anything, Old Man Jiang thought that Qiu Ye was like him and didn't want to sell it. He frowned and said, "Hey, this is actually all my fault. If I had kept the baby's breath well, Binghan wouldn't have found it, and I wouldn't have been able to show it off and let others like it."
