Chapter 18 The Fate of the Antique Store

He glanced at Yan Xiaohuan with a strange expression. Shang Junze cleverly did not take over the topic just now, but just said: "Get on the bus, it's getting late."

Yan Xiaohuan is not a person who is unyielding, especially she once said that she would not care about the matter between him and Wei Jingen, so she did not ask questions anymore, but got into the car. However, she did not speak, sitting next to Shang Junze.

Even though he knew that Yan Xiaohuan was not happy at this moment, Shang Junze would naturally not be so stupid that he could speak casually.

The car was very silent, and the car was driving quietly on the road. When I got off work, there were more pedestrians and cars on the road.

Yan Xiaohuan looked at everything outside the window in a daze. When the car was parked on an inconspicuous street, Yan Xiaohuan looked at Shang Junze in surprise. She could bet with her head that Shang Junze's grandfather would never live in this place. After all, Shang Junze is a person who wants to save face, and he will never let his grandfather live in a bad situation.

He glanced at Yan Xiaohuan in shock, and Shang Junze didn't explain. He just smiled at Yan Xiaohuan and said, "Get out of the car."

Yan Xiaohuan didn't say anything, she followed Shang Junze quietly.

All the buildings on the street deep in the street maintained the style of the Republic of China period. Inside, Yan Xiaohuan had an illusion that they were on the set of a film and television base. Behind Shang Junze, she even found that there was a shop with faint lights that had the word "pawn shop" written on it.

Yan Xiaohuan was even more shocked. In her heart, pawnshops were the product of ancient times. It was already the 21st century now. Pawnshops still exist, which can be regarded as a miracle.

Shang Junze walked to the depths of the alley, and the lights around him became weaker and weaker. Yan Xiaohuan even heard the sound of mice chirping from the trash can beside him.

Goosebumps all over her body came out, and she quickly walked to Shang Junze. She instinctively wanted to reach out to grab Shang Junze's arm. However, thinking that the relationship between the two was not good, she could only put her hand in her pocket and followed Shang Junze tightly.

As if he noticed the fear in Yan Xiaohuan's heart, Shang Junze, who was walking in front, actually stopped and even reached out to hold Yan Xiaohuan's hand.

Yan Xiaohuan looked at Shang Junze in surprise, and her feet seemed to have their own will, following Shang Junze forward.

Being familiar with the road, Shang Junze and Yan Xiaohuan finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous shop in the deepest part of the alley. A dark purple printed cloth was hung on the door of the shop. He lifted up the cloth, and Shang Junze took Yan Xiaohuan's hand and walked in. After entering the shop, he let go of Yan Xiaohuan's hand.

Looking around curiously, Yan Xiaohuan realized that this place turned out to be an antique shop.

The store is not large in size, with shelves on all four walls, and there are all kinds of antiques on it.

Yan Xiaohuan always thought that the antique shop was a very magical place. Every antique inside was a story. They always stayed quietly in the corner with the most elegant posture, waiting for those who were destined to take them away.

Yan Xiaohuan's feet uncontrollably walked to the stand beside her and looked at everything in front of her curiously.

Shang Junze walked to the counter and sat behind the counter with a gray haired old man wearing a crescent-white robe, giving people the feeling that he was a man who had traveled through the Republic of China.

He noticed a shadow in front of him. The old man holding a magnifying glass to study the jade in his hand raised his head, pushed the reading glasses on his nose, and when he saw Shang Junze, he said, "Here you come."

Shang Junze said "yes", "Look at it slowly by yourself", and the old man said this and lowered his head to study the jade in his hand.

Looking at the interaction between Shang Junze and the old man, Yan Xiaohuan realized that Shang Junze should come to this place often, and it is no wonder why he is so familiar with the environment here.

Thinking about the connection clearly, Yan Xiaohuan shrugged casually and continued to observe the small jade pendant in front of her. However, what she didn't notice was that the energetic old man was observing her through the reading glasses.

Although Yan Xiaohuan had no research on jade, the crystal clear jade in front of her seemed to have a certain degree of charm, which made her unable to remove her eyes. Her hands seemed to have their own will, holding the jade pendant in the palm of her hand.

The cold touch of the jade pendant made her love unconsciously. She unconsciously took the jade and looked closely under the light. Seeing the jade flowers in the middle of the clear jade body, she couldn't bear to look away.

"This piece of jade belongs to the Tang Dynasty."

The sound from his ears shocked Yan Xiaohuan. When he turned around, he realized that the old man had been standing behind her at some point. Thinking that he had touched other people's things without the consent of his master, she smiled embarrassedly and said, "Sorry, I shouldn't have touched them randomly."

The old man waved his hand indifferently. He took the jade in Yan Xiaohuan's hand, looked around casually, then looked at Yan Xiaohuan and said, "Do you like it?"

Yan Xiaohuan smiled and said, "I think anyone who meets you will like it, right?"

It is said that gold and silver are priceless. Although she doesn't understand jade, she also knows that the older things are, the more valuable things are, let alone this piece of jade with a history of more than a thousand years.

The old man touched his gray beard, smiled and said, "Give it to you."

Yan Xiaohuan widened her eyes in surprise and looked at the old man in disbelief. She even thought she had hallucinations. However, the smile on the old man's face made her realize that everything she had just heard was true. When she came to her senses, she quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no, I can't ask for such a valuable thing."

The old man ignored Yan Xiaohuan's refusal. He took Yan Xiaohuan's hand and put the cold jade into her palm, saying, "Some people choose jade, some people choose people. This piece of jade tells me that it chose you."

Yan Xiaohuan still shook her head and said, "I really can't want it."

It was really strange to give such a valuable thing to her, a stranger who didn't even know her first meeting or even her name.

"Old Mr. Dong has given it to you, just take it!" Shang Junze, who walked behind Yan Xiaohuan at some point, spoke.

"But……"

"If you refuse, you will look down on me," Old Dong said pretending to be angry.

Shang Junze also signaled her to hold it, but it was hard to stop her affection. Yan Xiaohuan had to take over the jade pendant that had been in history for more than a thousand years.

Old Dong glanced at Shang Junze and said, "Have you chosen?"

"Yes." Shang Junze presented the pipe in his hand with both hands.
