Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Is This Thing Really Worth That Much?

Seeing the colorful paper of the paper airplane.

Xu Li’s breathing became a bit rapid.

She unfolded the paper airplane, and on the back were several words: "China Welfare Lottery."

Flipping it over to the front, it was a ticket with a total amount of 100 yuan.

Isn’t this the lottery ticket I lost!

Swoosh!

Xu Li turned her head to look at Little Cotton Padded Jacket, who was focused on creating various shapes with snowflake pieces on the coffee table.

Well, I blamed myself for a day and a half, and it turns out it was Little Cotton Padded Jacket who was careless!

Jiang Xue seemed to sense her mother’s loving gaze and turned her head to look at her mom and the colorful paper unfolding in her hands.

"Mom, why did you take apart the airplane I folded for Shuke?"

Jiang Xue blinked her big, watery eyes, bewildered, and asked her mom, whose chest was heaving as she took deep breaths.

"Breathe... breathe... breathe... breathe..."

Xu Li took several deep breaths, her expression changing from cloudy to sunny, and she finally returned to the stable role of a mother.

What has happened has happened; blame is of no use now.

In family education, a calm approach is far more effective than yelling.

Besides, I can’t completely blame my daughter; I share half the responsibility.

Such an important thing should not be treated so casually again.

Xu Li gently asked, "Xiao Xue, where did you get this folding paper?"

Jiang Xue pointed to the clothes rack on the balcony outside, her eyes clear, "From Mommy’s coat pocket."

"Mom needs to tell you, this isn’t folding paper; it’s something very important to Mommy and Daddy, so you can’t use it for folding anymore."

"Today, Mommy will take you to buy lots and lots of colorful paper specifically for folding, okay?"

"Okay, okay! Long live Mommy!"

When Jiang Xue heard that her mom was going to buy her lots of folding paper, she was as happy as if it were New Year’s.

Sometimes, a child’s happiness is just that simple. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Seeing her daughter so joyful, Xu Li’s mood, which had been gloomy for a day and a half, finally improved.

She suddenly felt a sense of relief.

The guilt of losing 30,000 yuan disappeared in an instant, and the pressure vanished without a trace.

After educating her daughter, Xu Li didn’t even bother to smooth out the folded lottery ticket before calling Jiang Tao to share her joy.

"Honey! I found that lottery ticket!"

"Your precious daughter folded it into a paper airplane and threw it behind the TV!"

"Yeah, yeah! I’ll ask my mom and sister to go with me to claim the prize in a bit."

"With so much prize money, I don’t dare go alone; what if I get robbed."

"Yeah, you make sure to eat on time too. Love you, bye~"

"What? You found a pearl while eating seafood? You didn’t choke, did you?"

Just as Xu Li was about to hang up the phone, she heard Jiang Tao mention the seafood incident.

"Melo pearl? It can sell for hundreds of thousands? Really!!"

"Honey, you’re really on a lucky streak lately!"

"Drinking tea and finding a cellphone, receiving a nice number while delivering goods, dreaming about winning the lottery, and now finding a pearl while eating seafood!"

"This is unbelievably fortunate! Yeah, go get it appraised, and don’t forget my share if it sells, hehe~"

"Yeah, bye, honey. Here’s to your success! Go for it~"

After the phone call, Xu Li felt wonderful.

All the clouds over her heart dispersed, revealing the blue sky and white clouds she had missed for so long.

The vanished smile returned to Xu Li’s face.

The lottery ticket worth 30,000 yuan was lost and found.

Last night, her husband found an online-reviewed valuable pearl while eating seafood.

A double blessing!

Character comes from the heart; after one phone call, Xu Li felt much brighter.

"Let’s go, Xiao Xue~ Today, we’re going to eat delicious food and have lots of fun~"

Putting her phone back in her pocket, Xu Li called her daughter.

The two beauties, big and small, holding hands, stepped out with laughter and joy.

...

Around 10:30 in the morning.

Jiang Tao exited the B4 exit of Pan Garden Subway Station and arrived at Antique Street.

Today’s sunny with fine weather.

The traffic on Antique Street is higher than usual.

"Do these people not have work on weekdays..."

Jiang Tao wondered in his heart.

No matter if it’s a workday or rest day, the buses, subways, and streets are always crowded.

While grumbling inwardly, Jiang Tao joined the crowd and ventured deeper into Antique Street.

After more than ten minutes, Jiang Tao stopped outside the Boya Auction House.

Previously, he sold a special serial-numbered note here, and the transaction went smoothly.

The young master of the store paid promptly, leaving Jiang Tao with a positive impression.

When he obtained this jewel-like Melo pearl, this auction house was naturally the first place that came to mind.

"Hello sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

Zhang Bo saw someone enter and greeted Jiang Tao with a cheerful welcome.

Jiang Tao remembered the young boss Zhang Bo, but Zhang Bo, processing dozens of customers daily, had obviously forgotten Jiang Tao.

"Boss, I came here before to sell a currency note with an all-4 serial; do you remember?"

Jiang Tao smiled as he chatted with Zhang Bo.

"Oh! I remember! Are you here to browse some old items or do you have a treasure to sell?"

Upon Jiang Tao’s reminder, Zhang Bo’s memory of him was activated.

Recently, apart from Jiang Tao’s all-4 note, Boya had not acquired any other bills.

The exclusive note they purchased from Jiang Tao for 40,000 was eventually sold for a little over 50,000, netting over 10,000 in profit.

Jiang Tao, without wasting words with Zhang Bo, directly asked, "Does your place buy jewelry?"

Zhang Bo curiously asked, "What brand? What type? Necklace or bracelet? Can I see it first?"

"It’s not finished jewelry; it’s a Melo pearl I recently stumbled upon."

While speaking, Jiang Tao reached into his inside pocket and took out a small medicine bottle for Six-Flavor Rehmannia Pills.

Opening the cap, he removed the Melo pearl wrapped in tissue paper.

When Zhang Bo saw the bottle and tissue storing the gem, he couldn’t help but twitch his lips.

This guy really doesn’t treat his treasures with care!

Zhang Bo vividly remembered Jiang Tao extracting his special serial-noted bill directly from his wallet the last time.

When Jiang Tao handed him the Melo pearl, he asked, "Boss, have you heard of Melo pearls?"

"I’ve heard of them, but we’ve never dealt with this here. Let me take a look..."

Zhang Bo carefully took the Melo pearl from Jiang Tao, unwrapping the tissue paper to reveal the shimmering gem inside.

The surface of the pearl was smooth as a mirror, and the classic flame pattern inside caught Zhang Bo’s eye.

After examining it from every angle for more than three minutes, Zhang Bo finally looked at Jiang Tao and inquired:

"Brother, how much do you want for this pearl?"

"120,000 yuan."

Jiang Tao’s tone was quite calm, as if he were quoting a price at a vegetable market.

"120,000??"

Zhang Bo looked again at the pearl in his hand, stunned by its value.
