luo chenxi and the rest surrounded him.
the locksmith was very tactful.
he took the initiative to step back. ” young master mu, if there’s nothing else, i’ll take my leave first. “
mu yichen nodded. ” yiling, send mr. qian out. ” remember to reward him properly.”
in fact, mu yiling was more willing to stay and look at the things in the safe.
however, he gave in decisively after mu yichen’s glance.
he quickly left with his men.
mu yichen then turned to the petite woman. ” open it and take a look. “
luo chenxi nodded and took a deep breath. she raised her hand to open the safe.
the moment she opened the box, she was almost blinded by the dazzling jewelry inside.
he was stunned for a few seconds before he came back to his senses.
“this …! why does my mommy have so many pieces of jewelry? every piece is very expensive! this … this … even if you sell the entire lu family, you wouldn’t be able to afford any of these, right?”
initially, luo chenxi did not have much knowledge about jewelry and jade. however, she had seen many good things after she married into the mu family. naturally, her judgment improved as well.
the jewelry in lu wenjun’s safe was worth at least a few hundred million yuan.
thinking of how she had stood alone on the street with a piece of jewelry worth hundreds of millions the day before, she felt a little scared!
on the other hand, mu yichen who was sitting beside her was shocked.
he raised his eyebrows, picked up a ruby necklace, and looked at it carefully.
“i couldn’t tell that mother-in-law was so valuable.”
luo chenxi blinked her eyes. she was even more confused when she thought about it.
“but, that’s not right. ‘my mommy … i can’t tell that she’s so rich!’ didn’t i tell you? in the past, when i wanted to study abroad, my tuition fees were hundreds of thousands a year. in order to pay for my studies, my mommy had to work three jobs at the same time. she was so tired that she was hospitalized. if she had that much money, she could spend it for a lifetime just by selling a piece of jewelry!”
mu yichen stared at the necklace in his hand as if he was deep in thought.
“i think it’s understandable.”
luo chenxi was stunned for a moment. she turned around and looked at him. ” what do you mean? “
mu yichen thought for a moment and said,”i think there are only two possible reasons for mother-in-law’s refusal to sell jewelry.” the first one … they probably don’t dare to sell it!”
“you don’t dare to sell?”
mu yichen nodded and gestured to luo chenxi to look at the necklace in his hand.
“look at the craftsmanship of this necklace’s lining. it’s very exquisite. this is definitely not ordinary jewelry, but specially customized. this ruby’s color is so good, and it’s so big. if such specially made jewelry were to be sold at an auction, it would definitely attract the attention of the people who made this batch of jewelry.”
“if mother-in-law was deliberately avoiding the jewelry’s original owner, then she would naturally not sell the jewelry. otherwise, i’ll definitely expose myself.”
luo chenxi frowned upon hearing that.
” you’re right, but my mommy isn’t the kind of person who’s immoral. she must have gotten these accessories through proper means. what reason does she have to be so careful and afraid of exposing herself? “
mu yichen did not refute her. instead, he brought up the second possibility.
“there’s another possibility, and that is that he’s not willing to sell it! perhaps, these jewelries were very memorable to his mother-in-law. for example, it was a gift from someone important to her. aren’t you also unwilling to sell the jewelry i gave you?”
luo chenxi blinked. ” who said that? it’s not like i haven’t sold it before.”
