Chapter: 4387
This jade cuff may seem like just another piece of jewelry to someone who doesn't understand jade, but for those who truly appreciate jade, this cuff has already reached the pinnacle of the jade world.
Jade is abundant in color and variety, with even more emphasis on quality. All enthusiasts of jade acknowledge that imperial green is the king among jade species.
While being able to reach the imperial green level of material, it is simply one in a million. Among these, only a few can be made into a wristlet.
Jade is not like metal; it is a natural stone material that forms through geological processes, with a wide range of colors and extreme changes within each piece. Moreover, internal cracks, impurities, and fibers are very common.
Generally speaking, the imperial green color is extremely rare, and among those who can achieve such a color, only a few can find large pieces suitable for making wristlets, while still having no cracks, no impurities, and no fibers - the probability is simply one in a hundred million.
Grandma's wristlet was truly an old glass-type imperial green from her youth, which has been passed down through the palace since the Qing dynasty era. The value has long surpassed tens of millions of US dollars.
Among jade enthusiasts, that mythical wristlet worth 500 million RMB is none other than this one.
Although Autumn Qiu didn't understand jade, she could guess its value just by looking at the color and immediately tried to decline: "Grandma, how can I take your things away from you......"
Grandma spoke seriously: "Child, you are the fiancée of my grandchild, and this is your first time visiting. According to our rules, a gift is not optional! This is my duty as a grandma to give you, the future daughter-in-law, a welcome gift!"
An Ke Shan also quickly chimed in: "A gift is definitely necessary! Sheng Qi, go find the proof of ownership for our suite of four houses in Yanjing Yiren Courtyard and transfer it to Miss Gu's name."
Sheng Qi nodded hastily.
At this moment, An Ke Shan turned to Autumn Qiu and said: "Miss Gu, I have walked through every room of that suite of four houses in Yanjing Yiren Courtyard, all with golden lacquered wood decorations. That suite of houses was once a marquis's mansion during the Qing dynasty era and later became private property after being bought by someone else. Twenty years ago, I spent 30 million US dollars to buy it from an old Chinese expatriate, and now even the interior golden lacquered wood is likely worth tens of millions."
The old lady beside him looked helpless and said, "Ke Shan, that's a forty-year-old thing now..."
Due to insufficient medication effects, the blood-rescue heart pill managed to save Ke Shan, but his Alzheimer's symptoms did not decrease, so his perception of time remained basically stuck at twenty years ago.
Autumn Qiu was shocked and gestured frantically, her mouth filled with anxiety saying, "Grandpa... this is too valuable for me to take..."
"What can't be done," Ke Shan blurted out. "This house was originally intended for Chen'er, but now Chen'er hasn't found it yet, so I'll find his fiancée first, and then you'll get half of it when we find Chen'er, and you can use it as your new home!"
As he said this, he rubbed his temples, unable to resist saying, "But Chen'er is only eight years old... getting married will have to wait a few more years, besides, you're so much older than him, please don't bully him after marriage..."
The old lady heard this and quickly said, "Ke Shan, didn't I tell you? It's already twenty years later, and if Chen'er is still alive, he would be twenty-eight years old now!"
"Ah?" Ke Shan was taken aback and exclaimed, "Twenty-eight years old? What year was that? He just had his eighth birthday party recently..."
After saying this, Ke Shan's expression froze, his eyes welling up with tears as he said, "Chen Ci... Chen Ci... it's my fault... don't worry, I'll give my life to find you back..."
The old lady saw Ke Shan's emotional pain and felt a sharp pain in her heart; she quickly told everyone, "He's having another episode of confusion, let's get out of here before we disturb him..."
To Ah Shan's family, they had long been accustomed to his condition.
Knowing that his memory was severely impaired, everyone initially made a great effort to help him recover his memories in his brain, but the reality proved this to be just their futile wishes.
Ah Shan had actually lost all memory of the past 20 years; no matter how hard they tried to help him recall it, there was no way to make him remember anything that happened during those 20 years.
So, at first, Ah Shan's family had to figure out ways to explain things to him every day, telling him what was really going on and what he had forgotten. JrNovels.com
