After lunch.

Yuan Xue left the door early, and Yuan Zhongqing and his wife didn't care.

These days, Yuan Xue is all busy with work alone in the store. It would be nice to come back for lunch for a meal, and it would be normal to be busy at a little bit.

As soon as Yuan Xue left, the couple changed into clothes and rushed to the warehouse.

...

Qingyang.

Chen Yue accompanied Yuan Xue, and the two stood at the door of the pawnshop and did not go in.

After a while, Chen Yue whispered: "Why would you better call Li Dong. After all, this necklace is a birthday gift he gave you. If you pawn it, Li Dong will know in the future..."

Yuan Xue frowned slightly and said, "No need, let's just pawn it. I can redeem it when I have money."

Chen Yue couldn't understand her a little and whispered: "Why should I call him?"

"Don't, don't tell him about this."

Seeing that Yuan Xue was unwilling, Chen Yue didn't mention this matter again, but she felt a little complaining in her heart.

She called Wang Jie a few days ago. In Chen Yue's opinion, Wang Jie would definitely tell Li Dong about this.

But Li Dong didn't care about it and didn't even have a phone call, which also disappointed Chen Yue. This guy might not be willing to care about this matter.

Who made Xiaoxue stay close to him? A successful businessman like Li Dong must be full of money now. There is no benefit to this guy. This guy may not be willing to pay for Yuan Xue.

After thinking about it, Chen Yue felt a little embarrassed: "Why don't you wait anymore, Wu Qiang is raising money with his father..."

Yuan Xue said as soon as he heard this, "Don't bother with Wu Qiang. He is just a student, where does the money come from? Besides, I don't even want to ask for Li Dong. Even if Wu Qiang raises money, I won't ask for it."

Wu Qiang is Chen Yue's boyfriend and his family has little capital.

Since Chen Yue found out about Yuan Xue, he naturally couldn't hide it from Wu Qiang.

When Chen Yue said that he would borrow money, Wu Qiang agreed happily, but these days passed, but Wu Qiang had no news. Chen Yue actually knew that this matter was probably absent.

But in front of her best friend, Chen Yue couldn't say that, so she had to say that Wu Qiang was still raising money.

Seeing Yuan Xue refuse, Chen Yue first breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "You really think it?"

"It's done!"

Yuan Xue bit her lip and said, "Anyway, it's just an object, and it can't be eaten as a food. At this time, I don't care about that much."

Chen Yue wanted to persuade him, but finally sighed and didn't speak again.

When the two of them entered the pawnshop, the employees inside had already seen them standing at the door for a long time. As soon as they entered the door, a male employee in his thirties smiled and said, "What are the items that you two pawn?"

Yuan Xue was slightly hesitant, but soon took out a packaging box from the bag and opened it and said, "Look, how much does this cost?"

The male employee carefully picked up the box. After seeing the things inside, the man couldn't help but squint, and then smiled and said, "Two, are they diamonds?"

"Of course!" Chen Yue replied.

The male employee sighed with emotion: "If such a large diamond is a whole piece, the price will not be cheap."

The male manager sighed for a while and said, "Ms., do you have a certificate?"

Yuan Xue shook her head and said, "No, but the diamond must be true."

"No?" the male manager said with confusion: "Is the certificate lost or?"

"I don't know this, it was given by someone else."

"Oh." The male manager thoughtfully and then said: "Ms., you have to identify the authenticity of jewelry in advance. But I don't know much about jewelry. Let me tell you that. Can you tell me?"

It was the first time Yuan Xue and the others came to such a place, and they didn’t know the specific process, but it seemed necessary to determine whether the diamond identification is true or not.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xue nodded and said, "Okay, you can identify it, but this diamond must be true."

Li Dong is so rich, how could the fake diamond necklace given to her be? Yuan Xue didn't care too much, and felt that there would definitely be no problem after the identification was completed.

Seeing Yuan Xue agreeing, the male employee squinted his eyes and smiled, "Okay, but the appraisal master is behind me, I'll go and call me. You two sit first, Xiao Liu, come and entertain the two guests."

A young woman called next to him saw this and hurried over and started pouring tea for Yuan Xue and the others.

The male employee smiled again, "Then I'll go and call the master first and come over immediately."

Yuan Xue nodded, and when the male employee left, Yuan Xue suddenly frowned and said, "My necklace is still in his hand..."

Before she finished speaking, the girl next to her smiled and said, "Don't worry, ma'am, that's the manager of our pawn shop. He went to find the master with a necklace, probably to ask the master to take a look in advance and he will come back soon. And we also have surveillance here, so things will not be lost."

After hearing what she said, the storefront of this pawn shop is quite large and the decoration is quite luxurious. Although Yuan Xue felt something was wrong, she didn't say anything else.

The two of them were drinking tea absent-mindedly while waiting for the manager to come back.

However, I waited for a while this time, and after more than ten minutes, the other party had not come back yet.

Yuan Xue was a little anxious and stood up and said, "Why haven't you come yet? My necklace is still in his hands."

The female employee comforted her and said, "Ms., don't worry, our backyard is a bit far from this. The master may be identifying other jewelry. Let's do this. I'll call our manager and ask him to come over quickly."

"Then please make him hurry up."

"OK."

After saying that, the female employee called out in front of the two and said a few words to the phone. The female employee hung up the phone and smiled: "Two, our manager will arrive soon. Master Chen, who is identifying jewelry, is helping a customer identify a jade bracelet, which is a bit delayed."

Seeing this, Yuan Xue frowned slightly and said, "That's good. I would have known that I wouldn't give him the necklace just now."

The female employee smiled and said, "Don't worry, ma'am, our Jinyuan Pawnshop is the first-class in the city, and there will be no problems."

Yuan Xue didn't say anything. After about three or four minutes, the previous male manager came late.

When Yuan Xue saw him coming back, she hurriedly stood up and said, "Manager, where is my necklace?"

The male manager quickly handed over the box in his hand and apologized: "Sorry, I just held it in my hand and forgot it for a while. The necklace is here, look, there will be no problem."

Yuan Xue quickly took the box, opened it and looked at it, then picked up the necklace and glanced at it. She found that it was the same as before, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when he touched the diamond pendant, Yuan Xue suddenly retracted her hand.

Chen Yue next to him saw this and said, "What's wrong?"

Yuan Xue frowned and said, "The diamonds are quite hot."

The male manager next to him laughed and said, "Sorry, I just played with it, maybe it was the temperature on my hands. It would be better later. It was a little cold outside. It was probably because it suddenly felt a little hot when I touched it."

The male manager explained with a smile. Yuan Xue didn't want to talk nonsense to him and said straight: "Where is your appraiser?"

The male manager hurriedly said, "Come soon, come soon."

After he finished speaking, an old man in his fifties and sixties walked out of the small door next to him. The old man looked shrewd. When he saw Yuan Xue and the other two, the old man said lightly: "Those two are going to be identified, right?"

The male manager nodded and said, "Master Chen, it's them. Let's take a look. After all, such a large diamond is expensive, so we can't read it wrong."

"Yeah, bring it."

The old man sat on the appraisal stand, and the male manager hurriedly linked the diamond necklace from Yuan Xue.

It took a long time for the old man to identify diamonds. During this period, he was dazzled by various tools, which made Yuan Xue and Chen Yue confused.

After waiting for about half an hour, the old man waved to the male manager. The male manager walked over and whispered a few words to the old man.

Then the male manager walked over with a necklace and handed the necklace to Yuan Xue. The male manager smiled and said, "Madam, are you good at this necklace?"

"Life? Is it the kind that can be redeemed?"

"right."

"How long can it last?"

"The rules of pawn shops are usually 5 days to half a year, and this depends on your own."

"It's only half a year?"

Yuan Xue frowned slightly. Half a year was too short. After half a year, she would not have the money to redeem it.

After hesitating for a moment, Yuan Xue gritted her teeth and said, "Then it's only half a year, how much money can you give?"

"Five thousand."

Yuan Xue thought she had heard it wrong, and said differently: "How many?"

"Five thousand!" The male manager repeated it and smiled and said, "Five thousand dollars."

Yuan Xue suddenly changed her face, and Chen Yue next to her said angrily: "You really dare to say it! Five thousand? This platinum chain is probably more than five thousand, but this diamond is hundreds of thousands!"

The male manager laughed and said, "Yes, what I'm talking about is the chain."

Yuan Xue suddenly understood something and frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

The male manager smiled and said, "It's not interesting, but we Master Chen are a little confused about this diamond, so diamonds cannot be counted, so we can only count them as chains."

"I can't see it?" Yuan Xue said unhappily: "Do you mean diamonds are fake?"

"Ahem, I can't say that, I can only say that we look at this place. Otherwise, the two ladies will go to another house to see it, maybe the other houses will see it more accurately."

After hearing what he said, Yuan Xue snorted, turned around and wanted to leave.

However, before leaving the door, Yuan Xue's face suddenly changed, and she picked up the necklace and looked at it.
