"Miss Shu, please don't be in such a rush to refuse. I can add another million, for a total of three million. I hope Miss Shu can repair it; I know that with Miss Shu's ability, you can definitely repair it," Ye Yaoguang said with great confidence.

Although three million was a huge sum, she felt that as long as she achieved her goal in the end, everything would be worth it.

She thought about how she was still one step away, and how Huo Jingyan, ever since finding out she was pregnant in Y City, had made her return to Jing City, had her undergo detailed examinations to confirm the stage of the pregnancy, and had told her to abort the child.

Huo Jingyan hadn't put it quite so heartlessly, but she had guessed it: Huo Jingyan only wanted the child born by Jiang Nannan.

She knew Huo Jingyan absolutely did not want her to give birth to this child, and she didn't have much time left.

Therefore, this porcelain vase had to be repaired as soon as possible.

She thought three million would be enough to make Shu Xia tempted to accept, but...

Shu Xia's expression was cold, and her attitude remained firm, "Even if it were ten million, I would not change my original intention."

Ye Yaoguang's expression changed, and she said in disbelief, "Give me a reason!"

She couldn't understand it.

Turning down money delivered right to her door?

Was this Shu Xia being too high and mighty?

The price she offered was already several times higher than the market rate.

"What kind of reason do you need? Not wanting to repair it for you just means I don't want to repair it for you," Gu Cheng rolled his eyes and sneered.

Doesn't she even know what kind of messy thing her own item is?

And she dares to ask why.

"It's not that it can't be repaired; tell me where the porcelain vase was bought," Shu Xia suddenly changed her mind just as she was about to leave.

Recently, many Evil Objects had suddenly appeared, and she always felt it wasn't a coincidence.

The appearance of these Evil Objects would harm quite a few people.

Some people didn't even know that the antique they spent a fortune on was actually a life-taking, harmful thing.

Ye Yaoguang's eyes flickered, avoiding Shu Xia's probing gaze, "Why are you asking about this? Whether you take this job or not doesn't have any direct relation to where my porcelain vase came from, right?"

Gu Lao did not speak to interrupt.

He had guessed what Shu Xia's plan was.

He also gave Gu Cheng a look, telling Gu Cheng not to speak nonsense.

"I also want to buy one; is that reason enough? If Miss Ye doesn't want to say, then forget it. I have a lot of work on my hands recently, and I don't have time to repair your porcelain vase," Shu Xia said in a flat tone.

It didn't look like there was anything special about it either.

Ye Yaoguang frowned tightly, "It's not that I don't want to tell you; I bought this porcelain vase by chance while abroad. At the time, the person selling it said that I had a connection with this porcelain vase. I have no idea who the person who sold me the vase is, let alone their whereabouts."

Actually, she knew.

It was just that she had been strictly ordered not to leak anything about him, otherwise she wouldn't have a good end.

Having experienced so much recently, she certainly didn't dare to take that risk.

Shu Xia looked at Ye Yaoguang thoughtfully, "Fine, since Miss Ye doesn't want to say, I won't force it."

When her words fell, she had already walked out.

Since Ye Yaoguang didn't want to say, then even if she asked again, Ye Yaoguang wouldn't reveal a single word.

She had likely been silenced.

She felt that Ye Yaoguang should have more than just this one Evil Object in her possession.

Gu Cheng followed closely behind Shu Xia as she walked out.

Ye Yaoguang's complexion immediately turned ugly and sank; she turned back to look at Gu Lao, "Gu Lao, can you help me? This porcelain vase is really important to me. If Miss Shu cannot repair it, is there anyone else in your team who can?"
