This was all his fault.
Regardless of anything else, those bottles of wine had indeed been brought by him, and he was the one who had suggested that Shen Li drink them.
So now, he was really in no position to refute.
He gently exhaled.
“Okay.”
…
In the afternoon, Shen Li and the others left Hong Kong City.
Because she still had an exam to sit for the next day, both she and Shen Zhijin directly returned to Skyleaf City. Lu Huaiyu sent them off before returning to Rongyue Mansion.
Fang Qingyun looked in the rearview mirror.
“Second Master, is Ah Li alright?”
He had received a call last night and flown straight to Hong Kong City. He had looked very anxious, not knowing what was going on.
Lu Huaiyu crossed his long legs and leaned against the back of the seat, his posture lazy and elegant.
When he heard this, his thin lips twitched slightly.
“She’s fine.”
Only then did Fang Qingyun heave a sigh of relief.
“That’s good, that’s good.”
At this moment, Lu Huaiyu’s phone rang. It was a call from Yi Bin.
He picked it up.
“Second Master, will you be going to attend the auction at Bo Xing Auction House next Saturday?”
Lu Huaiyu replied calmly.
“I’m not going.”
Yi Bin reminded him,”Second Master, Miss Shen’s painting will be at the auction this time.”
Lu Huaiyu paused.
“Alright, I’ll go.”
Before this, all of Shen Li’s paintings that circulated in the market had been bought by him anonymously.
All the outside world knew was that someone had bought those paintings at a high price, but they did not know that they had been bought by the same person, much less that the person was Lu Huaiyu.
However, now that everyone knew that Shen Li was Tree’s Shadow, and Lu Huaiyu had already admitted that he had bought her paintings before, there was naturally no need to hide it this time.
Yi Bin immediately agreed.
“Alright, Second Master. I’ll make the arrangements right away.”
Lu Huaiyu hung up the phone. After a moment of silence, he laughed.
This time, it would probably take a lot of effort to get the young lady’s painting.
…
After arriving home, Shen Li took a simple shower and changed her clothes. She sat down in front of the desk and prepared to read.
Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted the black backpack. Only then did she remember that Shen Zhijin’s birthday present was still inside.
Because there had been so many things for her to do today, she still had not had the time to open it.
Thinking of this, she took the backpack, unzipped it, and took out the blue box.
The palm-sized square gift box was the color of the sky. It was pure and simple, and there was no logo on it.
She did not know what was inside, but it was quite heavy.
She opened the box and was immediately stunned.
What was inside was actually… a meteorite.
It had an irregular shape and was suffused with specks of faint blue crystal light. It was like a brilliant galaxy in the vast night sky.
No, this was not an ordinary meteorite.
This was… an extremely rare and extremely expensive meteorite diamond.
There was only one piece that had officially been recognized in the country and it was currently stored in the National Planetarium.
There was one piece in the foreign market, and it was valued at more than 25 million US dollars.
Had Shen Zhijin actually given her such a gift now?!
Shen Li took the box and got up to leave her room.
Shen Zhijin was changing the water in the vase for the camellias in the dining room.
“Dad.”
Shen Li called out to him.
Shen Zhijin turned around and saw the box in her hand. He had already guessed something.
“What’s the matter, Tangtang?”
Shen Li’s lips moved and she raised the box in her hand.
“This…”
Shen Zhijin put the bunch of camellias back into the vase. His beautiful and indifferent eyes relaxed and she smiled faintly.
“This was originally meant for your mother, but she happened to be pregnant with you at that time. She said that she wanted to leave this unique gift for you.”
That was because, compared to everything else, you were the most unique gift we would ever receive.
