Luo Jiachi's reaction exceeded the housekeeper's expectations.

In Hong Kong City for many years, I haven't seen any good things in Luojiachi. How much is a mere thing sent by the Shao family in Yuncheng worth, no matter how expensive it is?

Others don't know the old man's personality preferences, but she, the housekeeper who has been with the old man for decades, knows it all.

The old man is usually interested in calligraphy and painting.

The calligraphy and paintings at home are all the favorites collected by the old man, and the ones that can't be obtained are often really disappeared.

A small mahogany box is absolutely impossible to hold calligraphy and paintings, so the old man's reaction is abnormally tight.

Butler Xu understood clearly in his heart, seeing the old man's reaction, he became a little worried: "Master?"

Luo Jiachi ignored Steward Xu, but stretched out his trembling hand, took the box over, and took out the green sandalwood comb inside the box with an expression of disbelief.

Steward Xu saw a magnolia flower engraved on the green sandalwood comb held by the old man, and immediately understood why the old man's reaction was so abnormal.

"Master, this is..."

"Yes, yes..." Tears welled up in the old man's eyes, and his lips trembled uncontrollably. He was a little excited, but couldn't hide his grief, "This is the comb I gave Minzhi back then. .”

The housekeeper frowned, a little bit admiring the keen mind of the young lady from the Shao family.

After the old lady passed away, the master always remembered the last wish of the old lady that she could not find this comb before she died. For 30 years, she kept going to antique auction houses and various antique shops to find this comb that was pawned in difficult times. A token of love between the two.

However, it has never been found in 30 years.

The old man almost gave up.

However, at this moment, the people of the Shao family actually found out this thing, it is really intentional.

"Master, look... the young lady of the Shao family is still waiting for you outside." Butler Xu kindly reminded her.

The old man was in a very complicated mood. He slowly stroked the comb with his fingers, his heart was surging, and he recalled many memories of being with his wife in his mind.

"Go ask her to come here." The old man said.

He wanted to meet this girl and see what kind of person she was.

When Steward Xu heard the old man's order, he immediately nodded and turned to go out.

Shao Xue and Zang Linger were waiting in the living room.

Zang Ling'er took a sip of tea, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Shao Xue's hands clenched tightly.

She smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry."

Shao Xue pursed her lips: "Did the old man ask you to find this comb before?"

Since it is something very important to the old man, the Zang family is a collection and storage place for rare antiques, and the old man must have gone to her Ali to look for it.

Zang Ling'er didn't hide anything, and nodded frankly: "Yes, I did look for it at my place."

"Then why don't you give this thing to the old man?"

Shao Xue was puzzled.

Zang Linger smiled and replied: "The timing is not right."

The simple four words made Shao Xue understand immediately.

Yeah, the timing is wrong.

At that time, the Zang family didn't need the old man's help, so they didn't need to take out such a bargaining chip that could restrain the old man.

If you really hand over this comb, it will waste the important function of this comb.

Zang Ling'er did not continue to explain to you Shao Xue.

However, looking at Shao Xue's expression, she knew that Shao Xue had already thought through all the pros and cons.

Shao Xue exhaled lightly: "I hope the old man won't be angry."

If the old man knew that she used the token of love between her and his wife to ask to marry Luo Xi, would the old man feel threatened?
Zang Linger smiled and said, "I won't be angry with you, and I will thank you."

"I don't dare to think about being thankful, but it's good not to be angry with me."

Shao Xue smiled slightly.

At this moment, a housekeeper came down from upstairs and called Shao Xue: "Miss Shao."

Shao Xue heard the voice of the housekeeper calling her, so she followed the voice and looked over.

The butler's face was polite and distant, but he always felt that he was much kinder than his attitude just now.

The housekeeper said, "Miss Shao, our master wants to see you."

Shao Xue nodded: "Yes."

Then he got up and followed Butler Xu to go upstairs.

Zang Ling'er also stood up, ready to go there together.

But the butler thought about it carefully, and didn't remember the master's order to let Miss Zang follow up, so he said politely: "Miss Zang, stay a while."

Zang Linger stopped.

Butler Xu said apologetically, "I want you to wait here for a while."

Zang Ling'er knew that this matter was probably settled, even if she didn't go to see the old man with Shao Xue, it would be fine, so she sat on the sofa: "Then I'll wait for you here."

"Well, I'll be back in a while."

After Shao Xue finished talking to Zang Linger, she followed Steward Xu to the old man's study.

Compared with the Shao family's villas, the Luo family's villas are not inferior. They are all respectable families, and the decoration and furnishings in the home are carefully selected and designed.

At the door of Luojiachi's study, Steward Xu stopped, knocked lightly on the door of the study, and said, "Master, Miss Shao is here."

"come in."

An old but majestic and powerful voice came from the study.

In Shao Xue's heart, I was a little nervous.

The butler smiled at Shao Xue before saying, "Go in, Miss Shao."

Steward Xu pushed the door open for Shao Xue.

The bright study room is very large, Shao Xue only saw the light coffee-colored carpet with exquisite patterns covered in the study room.

She took a step forward, butler Xu closed the door wisely, and waited outside.

Going deep into the door, you can see bookshelves of various books on the wall of the study.

The bookshelves are high, all the way to the roof.

There are many scrolls of picture scrolls on the bookshelf.

The old man was sitting behind the desk, and behind him was a large bookshelf with various original French and English books on it.

Perhaps because he heard Shao Xue's footsteps, he raised his head against it.

It was the first time that Shao Xue clearly saw the appearance of Luo Jiachi, and immediately said hello to him: "Mr. Luo, hello."

"Please sit down."

Luo Jiachi motioned for her to sit opposite him.

Shao Xue sat down on the seat, and saw a book in front of Luo Jiachi, and on the opened page was the green sandalwood comb that was just taken out of the mahogany box.

"How did you find this thing?"

The old man asked her directly.

Naturally, Shao Xue couldn't say that it was brought from the Zang family, but it couldn't be said that it was brought from the Shao family either.

Because the old man flatly rejected his marriage with Luo Xi at first, the reason why the old man flatly rejected it must be that he didn't want to get involved with the Shao family.

Or maybe he hates the Shao family.

She hesitated in her heart, but after thinking twice, she still spoke the truth: "Yun Xuan helped me find it."

"Yunxuan?"

Luo Jiachi frowned slightly.

Shao Xue thought she didn't know Song Yunxuan, so she explained, "Song Yunxuan from the Song family in Yuncheng."

Having said that, Luo Jiachi suddenly remembered: "You mean, Song Yan's little daughter?"

"Yes."

Shao Xue nodded.

Mr. Luo has heard of Song Yunxuan. After all, Song Yunxuan had been entangled with the Huo family for a long time when she came to Hong Kong City. The mother and daughter of the Huo family lost their power because of Song Yunxuan. It was beyond redemption.

Speaking of this, Song Yunxuan was a good assist, which is indispensable.

"Miss Song, you are far-sighted."

Listening to the old man of the Luo family, Shao Xue felt that the sentence was half praiseful and half derogatory, so she didn't say anything.

However, it can also be seen from the reaction of the old man of the Luo family that this old man doesn't like this young lady of the Song family very much, nor does he dislike this young lady of the Song family very much.

Attitudes fluctuate, no preference can be seen.

The old man looked at the green sandalwood comb in front of him, and said again: "When did you and Luoxi meet?"

When Shao Xue set off from Yuncheng, Song Yunxuan had already taught her how to answer if the old man asked her this question.

So, now that the old man asked about this matter, she didn't think much about it, and said kindly: "I met you at the Hong Kong City University celebration two weeks ago."

Luo Xi once told Song Yunxuan that she participated in the centennial celebration of her alma mater two weeks ago.

The old man likes his eldest grandson to attend parties that are good for him, but he doesn't like his grandson to attend banquets held by rich children who are useless.

Saying that we met on the school celebration, the old man is quite satisfied.

"You and Luo Xi are not alumni, are you?"

If they were alumni, they would have known each other a long time ago, why did they only meet two weeks ago?

Shao Xue nodded: "I am a former exchange student from Daogang City of Yuncheng Business School. I happened to hear about the school celebration, so I came to Hong Kong City to have a look. Unfortunately, I met Luo Xi."

Afterwards, Shao Xue didn't say anything in detail, but she had a somewhat shy expression on her face, which made people understand what happened naturally.

The old man of the Luo family nodded and said, "Then this can be considered fate."

Shao Xue didn't speak, but she acquiesced.

The old man asked again: "I heard that you are not Shao Tianze's real sister."

When Shao Xue heard this question from the old man of the Luo family, she knew that it was tricky.

Shao Tianze killed her adoptive parents in order to cover up her parentage. Naturally, she couldn't talk about it, but to argue with an old man who already hated Shao Tianze that she and Shao Tianze were not real sisters, but they were like brothers and sisters. Let the old man hate her.

This is really a difficult question to answer.

Seeing that Shao Xue didn't answer for a long time, the old man didn't ask further, but changed the topic and asked, "You are with Luo Xi, you won't harm him, right?"

When the old man said this, Shao Xue immediately said, "Absolutely not!"

Shao Xue answered quickly, resolutely and firmly.

Almost subconsciously, he made another promise: "I will definitely not harm Luo Xi when I am with Luo Xi. Please rest assured, Grandpa."

When she and Luo Xi were together, even if they used each other, she never thought of doing anything to hurt Luo Xi.

She even wanted to thank Luo Xi for giving her a shelter in times of crisis.
