Beads are on the side, the president is on the top

Chapter 21

Lin Xi asked Chen Lu to have dinner at home. Grandma was very happy, and even though she was not feeling well, she still helped Lin Xi cook a large table of dishes.

After a happy meal, grandma made Lin Xi's favorite mushroom chicken and Chen Lu's favorite roast beef.After the meal, grandma asked Lin Xi to wash the dishes in a daze, and asked the two to go to the room to talk.

Lin Xi carefully took out the Nanhong pendant, and insisted on giving it to Chen Lu no matter what.

Seeing that Lin Xi was so persistent, Chen Lu felt that something must have happened, so she asked Lin Xi to speak clearly.Lin Xi actually didn't want to tell Chen Lu the value of this pendant. She knew that Chen Lu would definitely not accept it, but at present, the matter has come to this point. Chen Lu should be able to find out soon, and then Chen Lu will know the value of the pendant, and maybe he will blame her for not telling her earlier.

"Lulu, Su Mingyu offered 200 million yuan to buy this pendant. Do you want to sell it to him? If you really want to sell it to him, I will introduce you to each other. If you don't sell it, you can keep it for yourself. But He may find you soon and ask you to sell him the pendant."

"You speak too fast, let me digest it." Chen Lu stared at the Nanhong pendant, not too surprised, as if she had known that this pendant was very valuable, but another problem is that this pendant is Su Mingyu wanted to get it wholeheartedly, and even crossed Lin Xi to find her, which made her feel a little strange, "Why did Su Mingyu buy this pendant, can you tell me the reason?"

Lin Xi took over the words: "Lulu, this is related to Su Mingyu's family affairs, I haven't got his permission, so it's inconvenient to talk about it."

Chen Lu glanced at her narrowly: "Yo, I can tell, you really think about him!"

"Lulu, don't make trouble. Let me ask you, do you want to sell him the pendant?"

"Do you want me to sell him?" Chen Lu tested her.

"I don't know." Su Mingyu's disappointed look flashed before Lin Xi's eyes, and he always felt that he shouldn't just watch him get anxious.

"No matter how valuable this pendant is, I won't sell it. Besides, I think you definitely don't want me to sell it. Otherwise, with Su Mingyu's high price, you could have persuaded me to sell the pendant before."

"I'm different from you. That's because this is a gift from me. I don't want money to affect the relationship between us..."

"Then I am the same as you. How can I sell the gift you gave me to others?" Chen Lu held Lin Xi's hand: "Thank you for the gift, I like it very much, and I am also very touched. Save this pendant for me. But I personally feel that this pendant seems to be very useful to you now, with it, you can continue to see Su Mingyu, so you should keep it?"

"Lulu, I don't want to see Su Mingyu..." Lin Xi blushed, feeling a little embarrassed.

"You have already had dinner with him, why don't you take a step forward and see if there is any possibility of further development with him." Chen Lu persuaded her, "If Su Mingyu really wants this pendant, wait until your relationship is confirmed. It's down, so why not give it to him, Lin Xi, it's not easy to meet a man you like, why don't you be brave?"

Lin Xi was very embarrassed. Unexpectedly, Chen Lu would be so direct, and quickly denied: "Chen Lu! How can I like him?"

"Don't lie to me, you are already attached to Su Mingyu, you see, you didn't even notice how many WeChat messages you sent me about him." As she spoke, Chen Lu turned on her phone and clicked out A WeChat message that Lin Xi sent her, "Look at this one is 'Su Mingyu was very upset when he heard that I gave the pendant to a friend who went to the United States, Lulu, did I go too far and shouldn't lie to him?' If you were just an ordinary friend, would you care so much about what he thinks of you? Also, you are still so troubled about his affairs, and even want to persuade me to sell the pendant to him. Now you are standing in his position for He thought about it, Lin Xi, how do you explain this?"

Lin Xi's face turned red from neck to ear, "I was just moved when I heard what he said about the pendant's meaning to him, so I'm asking you, don't think too much... As for inviting you over for dinner, that's Because I haven't seen you for a long time, it's definitely not to convince you."

"Well, I can ignore these details. Let's put it this way, you gave me the pendant now, so I can handle it as I like?"

"Of course I can handle it as you like." Lin Xi replied hastily.

"Okay, then I will transfer the pendant back to you now."

"Lulu..." Lin Xi never thought that Chen Lu would make such a decision.Chen Lu interrupted her, and continued: "You can consider giving the pendant to Su Mingyu, but I think it's not the time yet, you can lend him the pendant first. When the time comes, you can give it to him."

"Lulu..."

"Listen to me, you're right!" Chen Lu blinked at her, "In this way, you can have more opportunities to meet Su Mingyu and develop your relationship."

"I really didn't think about it that much. Maybe he's already married. Besides, we... are really not suitable." Lin Xi felt inferior when he thought of his identity and status.But in this low self-esteem, it's not difficult to hear her feelings for Su Mingyu.She rambled on to Chen Lu about the details of their acquaintance, indicating that the only connection between Su Mingyu and her was the pendant, and there was nothing else.

Her gentle and pleasant voice contained the girl's beautiful and troubled thoughts, and gradually disappeared from the window sill in the dusk of the setting sun.In the bedroom with the lights on, Chen Lu's eyes fell on the family portrait on Lin Xi's desk, with a hint of sympathy inadvertently showing in his eyes.At the same time, she also hoped that Lin Xi would be stronger and braver.

"You're right, take the pendant and go find Su Mingyu."

"This……"

"Now this pendant is yours, you can dispose of it as you like!"

Seeing Chen Lu's insistence that no one could shirk, Lin Xi nodded. She was persuaded, and took the pendant from Chen Lu's hand that was stained with her friend's body temperature, her heart was full of emotion.

While Su Mingyu was extremely worried about the pendant, he also knew that Jin Yuze had already learned what had happened from Jin Feifei, and he was planning to leave for China soon.

The purpose of Jin Yuze's return to China this time should be to find out the truth, and he is ready to join forces with Jin Zhongguo to fight against him at any time.

Su Mingyu didn't take Jin Yuze seriously, and decided to hold a family gathering to welcome Jin Yuze. In order to maintain a short-term harmony, he first dispelled Jin Yuze's wariness.

After arranging everything, Su Mingyu came to Antique Street again.

Lin Xi was a little excited to see Su Mingyu, she seemed to be waiting for his arrival.

However, Su Mingyu didn't respect him when he invited her to dinner at all, but coldly added 100 million to buy the pendant.

Lin Xi was a little surprised, and took over the words: "I said I wouldn't sell it..."

"Then what do you want?" Su Mingyu stood at the door of the shop, staring at Lin Xi who was standing inside, his face was completely impatient.

"I..." Lin Xi was suppressed by his unfriendly aura, didn't know how to answer, and swallowed the words "I plan to give it to you".

"Let's be honest, you didn't give the pendant away, it's in your hands now. I've checked, you don't have any friends who have gone abroad recently, and you had a friend's fiancé who went abroad before, but that was when you bought the pendant I went to America before." Su Mingyu tapped his finger on the surface of the glass cabinet, "Lin Xi, I underestimated you. Are you trying to sit on the ground and raise the price?"

Lin Xi blushed, he completely misunderstood her, and she didn't know how to explain it.

The clear sky gradually turned gloomy, and after a while, the clouds covered and it began to rain heavily.Su Mingyu stood at the door, because the shop had almost no eaves to cover the rain, the rain fell, and soon wet his shirt.

Lin Xi bit her lip, holding the pendant and staring at him quietly.

Su Mingyu glanced at Lin Xi with a little disappointment: "I wanted to be friends with you, but now it seems that I think highly of you. Today, I'll just say, I paid 300 million for the pendant. Before you can speak properly, you can raise the price."

Lin Xi's heart ached a little, she didn't know that he would think of her as so scheming.

Part of what she told him before was the truth, except that Chen Lu hadn't gone to America yet, and it was just that Chen Lu returned the pendant to her.However, he would not listen to her explanation at all.

A flash of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating half of his face, and his eyes were getting colder and colder like winter, making her feel like she was falling into an ice cellar.

"Mr. Su, I never thought of making money from you." Lin Xi defended without confidence, because she did force him to buy her wooden beads a few times before, but now she treats him differently, "It wasn't like that at the time. I sold you the pendant because I had already given it to my friend, but she didn’t accept it at the time, so the pendant has been kept here with me.”

"Stop talking about fooling children. Let's stop wasting each other's time. Tell me, how much is it?" Su Mingyu's eyes were full of contempt. Although Lin Xi looked a little depressed today, he thought she was just lying She seemed a little flustered by being exposed, so she repeatedly forced her to bid.

"If I don't sell you the pendant, what kind of tactics will you use to deal with me?" Taking a deep breath, Lin Xi asked such words. She pretended to look at him toughly, just wanting to know his sincerity.

The world outside the door was dark, and Lin Xi standing in the store door seemed to be overwhelmed by the gloomy gray, as if it took a lot of courage to stand there.

Su Mingyu seemed to want to see through her, but felt that his eyes were full of mist.He didn't know what she was thinking, he just felt that his mood was terrible with her questioning.

"I will buy this shop and change hands, so that you can't hang out here." He had a cold attitude, his voice was deep and cold, and Lin Xi's heart gradually sank as he said each word.

"Mr. Su is really a good method!"

Lin Xi "finished the compliment" and packed up his things on his own.

Su Mingyu looked at her actions coldly, felt her fearless ridicule, he was almost sure that she really wouldn't sell him the pendant.

But until now, he only wanted to get the pendant as soon as possible, and he didn't care too much.
