Chapter 60: 59. Meng Mingxuan's Suspicion (Seeking collections, seeking recommendation tickets!)

Liu Lu did not speak in absolute terms either; otherwise, she feared that if Zhang Ran did not agree later, it would be difficult for Wang Jiajia to act as the intermediary.

Before doing anything, Liu Lu always considered the situations of others first.

Upon hearing Liu Lu say this, Wang Jiajia thought for a moment and said, "Alright, then I'll help you ask, but I only know this person through my best friend, so I don't know the specific situation very well. Anyway, you should be careful yourself when the time comes, Sister."

"Then thank you."

"It's nothing, it's just a small matter."

Afterwards, Wang Jiajia sent a message to Fan Kai; they had added each other as friends after the photo shoot.

Wang Jiajia explained the matter to Fan Kai, but she did not speak in absolute terms, only saying that there was an intention in this regard.

Fan Kai saw this message from Wang Jiajia very quickly, and he became excited immediately.

Fan Kai had not expected things to go so smoothly; he had originally been thinking about how to successfully get his hands on the necklace, and just as he was feeling troubled, the necklace had delivered itself to his door.

However, Fan Kai was not impatient; he knew that haste makes waste.

Moreover, he could not come up with one million right now; he had indeed earned a lot of money over these years, but he had spent even more.

However, he did not need to take out his own money to buy it, and furthermore, he would not spend so much money to buy a woman's necklace.

Fan Kai dug out another phone and posted to his Moments, attaching the photos he had taken of that necklace at the time.

"Intending to sell a work by Master Andrew, those interested please contact me. 【Image】 【Image】 【Image】."

The people in this account were all wealthy individuals—company bosses, executives, second-generation rich kids, and nouveau riche; these were all the connections he had accumulated over so many years.

He had done things like this before, and quite a few times at that.

Because of his work, he often traveled all over the world; when he saw some novel and unique items, he didn't want to buy them himself, but he could buy them and then sell them to these people.

He just earned the price difference in the middle; everyone knew this, and no one cared.

They obtained the things they liked, and Fan Kai obtained money; these were all normal transactions. As for how much Fan Kai earned in the middle, that was his own ability, and these people didn't give it much thought.

After posting this to his Moments, he then replied to Wang Jiajia.

Hospital.

"Sister, Teacher Fan replied. He said the price should be about right, but he isn't too sure about the authenticity of the necklace either. If you really want to sell it, he can help take a closer look," Wang Jiajia said.

Liu Lu thought for a moment and said, "Then ask him if he can help me take a look first. If it's real, we can talk about whether to sell it or not later."

Wang Jiajia replied quickly. Fan Kai smiled when he saw this message on his end and replied, "Sure, if you have time tomorrow, you can come find me."

As for Liu Lu's hesitation, in his view, it was just her wanting to raise the price to gain some advantage during negotiations; he had encountered such things more than once or twice.

Half an hour later, Fan Kai received a message: "Is this necklace of yours real?"

When Fan Kai saw who sent the message, his heart immediately began to race.

"It's real. Even if I were bolder, I wouldn't dare to deceive you, Ning Jie. You are also an expert; you'll be able to tell the authenticity at a glance. Besides, don't you know my reputation after all these years?" Fan Kai replied.

"Alright then, what time can I see the item? As long as it's real, the price is not a problem," Ning Jie replied.

"You can come see the item tomorrow, same old rules," Fan Kai said.

The old rules were that she could look at the item, but she could not make an offer in front of the seller; she had to trade with him, Fan Kai.

Ning Jie was familiar with such things; it was not the first time she had cooperated with Fan Kai like this.

In the evening, Meng Mingxuan was drinking with a group of friends. After experiencing today's events, he felt a bit flustered, so he wanted to vent a little.

"Ming Xuan, help me see if this necklace is a work by Master Andrew, just like your bracelet," Ning Qing said, handing over her phone.

Meng Mingxuan said casually, "Sister, how would I understand this? I even had to find someone to help me look at mine."

"I'm asking you to help look, so just look. Why are you dawdling?" Ning Qing said bluntly. They were all good friends who hung out together, so there was no need to be too polite with each other.

"Alright." Meng Mingxuan took the phone and looked at it carefully.

"Don't say, it really is quite similar. You can tell from the photo that the quality should be quite good, and even if it isn't a work by Master Andrew, such jewelry is still very good," Meng Mingxuan said, relying on his own intuition.

"And it's somewhat similar to my sister's necklace; it should be correct."

"I'm relieved now that you've said that. Come with me to see it tomorrow," Ning Qing said.

"Sister, I have things to do tomorrow. Can you not ask me?" Meng Mingxuan wanted to take advantage of these two days to get some good rest and didn't want to go out.

Ning Qing chuckled and said, "Sure, but things might be a bit difficult for my uncle's side then."

Upon hearing this, Meng Mingxuan immediately said, "Sister, you're being a stranger now. Your business is my business; call me when you go tomorrow."

Ning Qing's uncle ran a renovation company, so Meng Mingxuan had asked Ning Qing for help. It wasn't about the money, but about peace of mind; he didn't want to worry about any more tricks being played during the renovation, which would make him, Meng Mingxuan, look bad.

"Then it's settled," Ning Qing said, looking at him as if to say the kid knew how to be sensible.

"But why are there so many works by Master Andrew lately? You have one, your sister has one, and now another one has appeared," a little fatty on the side said with a smile.

Once he said this, Meng Mingxuan also became a bit suspicious. One had to know that Master Andrew's works rarely appeared in the trading market anymore; most people who owned these things weren't short of that bit of money and basically kept them for their own collection or use.

He knew that both his and Meng Zixuan's were gifts from Zhang Ran, so where did this one pop out from? And it looked like it was from the same series as Meng Zixuan's necklace.

Meng Mingxuan thought of Liu Lu; he knew Zhang Ran had also given Liu Lu a gift. Could it be...

Meng Mingxuan shook his head, not wanting to think about it anymore. Anyway, he was going over tomorrow, so he would know once he saw it.

At this point, even if Ning Qing didn't let him go, he would have to go and see. After thinking for a moment, he decided to drag his older sister along tomorrow to see if this necklace was from the same series as hers. If it was, then he would have to ask about the situation carefully.

Meng Mingxuan did not yet know that this time, because Fan Kai did not have enough money on hand, he had chosen to arrange for both parties to meet together.

PS: A spoiler for the plot—the necklace will not be sold. This plot point is only to make the pacing of the upcoming story more reasonable and serves as a setup.
