Chapter 297 The Successor of the Jade Carver

"how is this possible?"

Shen Lu laughed and then pointed out something: "Look at Lu Xingye's face and figure, your sister must be interested in her!"

Shen Shenqi was stunned for a moment and quickly reacted.

Lu Xingye does have the capital to arouse people's attention.

But my sister is not bad either.

"Then maybe he's also interested in you."

"Then don't we just match each other?" Shen Lu didn't mind at all.

Shen Shenqi: "...What you said makes sense." At least he couldn't refute it.

"Brother Siqi, don't worry about me. It's just an engagement. The elders have agreed to wait until I turn twenty before making a decision."

"If there is someone I like by then, I will treat it as if the engagement does not exist. If not, then announce it to the public."

Shen Lu explained.

Shen Shen listened together, as long as his sister didn't suffer.

"That's good. You haven't gone to college yet. Maybe you'll meet someone better-looking in college. It's always good to have multiple choices."

"You are too young to be bound by a marriage contract."

Otherwise, if the two of them make the same mistake as the third aunt, wouldn't it be the second regret of marriage for the Sheng family?

If it were revealed, it would be the Sheng family who would be scolded.

The two quickly ended the topic because the hospital also arrived.

When the hospital arrived, Shen Lu and Xiao Tu went to visit his mother.

Shen Shenqi asked people to inquire about Xiaotu's mother's condition.

Knowing that Xiao Tu's mother's illness was caused by overwork and that there was a possibility of recovery as long as she was willing to receive treatment, Shen Shenqi paid a sum of money at the hospital without saying a word.

Two hundred thousand is enough to cover the treatment expenses for Xiaotu’s mother.

Shen Shenqi also specifically explained that any unused money does not need to be returned to the original account, but will be returned directly to Xiaotu's mother and son.

This is the tacit understanding between Shen Lu and Shen Siqi.

Shen Lu went directly to the ward to visit Xiaotu's mother.

Xiao Tu had no idea that someone had paid such a large sum of money on their behalf.

If he knew, he definitely wouldn't want it.

"Mom." Xiao Tu entered the ward very gently, fearing to wake her mother from sleeping.

As a result, when he went in and saw that his mother was not asleep, but looking out the window in a daze, he couldn't help but scream.

Xiaotu's mother turned around and smiled weakly when she saw her son.

Just after the operation, her body actually hurt, but Xiaotu’s mother didn’t show it at all in front of her son.

"Xiao Tu, who is this?"

Xiaotu's mother saw Shen Lu standing behind her son.

"This is the kind person I told you about." Xiao Tu introduced Shen Lu, "If Miss Shen hadn't bought that piece of wool, it might have been snatched away by that person."

"That person wanted to use the materials to pay off his gambling debts. Fortunately, I sold the materials to Miss Shen first."

Xiaotu's mother looked pale, but she was full of gratitude when she looked at Shen Lu.

"Thank you, Miss Shen. If it weren't for you, I'd probably be separated from Xiao Tu by now."

Shen Lu shook his head: "I didn't do anything, I just fell in love with that piece of wool, and I paid for it."

"It's not like helping."

Xiaotu’s mother didn’t think so.

"You don't know. Although that piece of wool was left by my father, many people say it is worthless. The chance of getting a high green is very small, but the chance of it falling apart is high."

"I have been coaxing my ex-husband, saying that the piece of wool is very valuable, so that he knows that we are still profitable and will not give up on the child Xiao Tu."

"He will also coax us to get that piece of wool, and he will not sell Xiaotu..."

Lao Tu actually wanted to sell Xiao Tu, and Shen Lu's eyes turned cold.

Waste like this should be sold!

"But that piece of wool really came out with jade, and it still went up significantly." Shen Lu had to tell Xiaotu's mother this fact.

"Really?" The surprise on Xiaotu's mother's face was not fake.

It seems that she has no idea that the price of that piece of wool can increase significantly.

I always thought that the one my father kept was more memorable, so I kept it to this day.

She had always regarded the piece of material as a reminder of her father, and had never thought about making a fortune from it.

"Yes, this piece of wool is of the glass type Zhengyang Green. I conservatively estimate it to be worth this amount."

Shen Lu made a "six" sign.

She thought she would see regret on this aunt's face.

but.

Xiaotu's mother was only shocked for a moment, and then smiled very openly: "That proves that my father had a good vision."

"Miss Shen also has good taste."

Xiaotu's mother has clean eyes and no trace of greed, which is really rare.

Shen Lu suspected that Xiao Tu's mother's natal family used to be wealthy. At least her parents were both upright people, otherwise they would not be able to educate such a daughter.

"Xiao Tu said that you might want to see what was made from that piece of wool. We brought it here. Do you want to see it?"

Shen Lu asked Xiaotu’s mother for her opinion.

Xiaotu's mother was indeed very curious: "Then I'll trouble Miss Shen."

She had hidden this piece of wool for many years, and of course she had thought about what it would be like to unwrap it.

It's just that I haven't touched it before, and this piece of material has become like a family heirloom.

To say that I have no regrets would definitely be a lie.

Now in order to treat his own illness, he has not been able to pass the materials to his son.

Xiaotu’s mother really wanted to see what the jadeite from this material looked like.

Shen Lu understood her mood, opened the door and asked Shen Shenqi's bodyguard to hand him the box containing the jade.

She brought it in and opened the box.

When Xiao Tu’s mother saw the piece of Zhengyang green jadeite planted in glass, she couldn’t help but sigh: “It’s so beautiful.”

"Can I touch it?"

Xiaotu's mother looked at Shen Lu.

Shen Lu nodded: "You touch it."

Xiaotu's mother was holding the infusion bottle in her left hand, and Shen Lu deliberately moved the box to the other side.

She saw Xiaotu's mother stretching out her hand. There were many small wounds on her hand, some of which had turned into old scars.

Looking at her love for this piece of wool, an idea suddenly flashed in her mind: "Mom Xiaotu, what do you do?"

"I usually make some small items to sell."

Xiaotu's mother obviously didn't expect Shen Lu to ask such a question.

Shen Lu raised his eyebrows: "Are you a jade carver?"

Xiao Tu's mother was startled: "My ancestors did have masters of jade carving, and my grandfather was also a very good master of jade carving, but my father's craftsmanship is not good, and in my generation, I have only learned a little bit."

It's not that her family is bad, it's just that she was suppressed too much.

If you can't get ahead, you will naturally give up on this line of work.

"For some people, even if they learn a little bit, it's enough to support their families."

"Why don't you teach Xiao Tu this craft?"

Shen Lu felt that Xiao Tu, who worked so hard to make money to treat his mother's illness, might as well have a serious craft.

"Nowadays, many jade objects are polished by machines, and there are not many opportunities to use manual labor." It's not like Xiaotu's mother has never thought about it.

But she thought she was not good at academics, and she seemed to have nothing to teach her son.
