This jade bracelet was somewhat similar in appearance to the one that Li Chuchu had just bought. However, in terms of luster and quality, the one Li Chuchu bought was far superior.
If Li Chuchu were here, she would probably be able to tell that this jade bracelet was not a valuable item. But Su Huan was an outsider and couldn't tell the difference.
"Right, right, this is the one!"
With this treasure, she wouldn't have to kowtow to anyone for the rest of her life. She could live a prosperous life on her own!
At this thought, Su Huan was so excited that her face contorted.
Just as she was about to reach for it, the old woman pulled back her withered hand clutching the bracelet and said, "Hey, it's 1,500 yuan."
This figure was like a bucket of cold water, drenching Su Huan from head to toe.
So expensive?
Su Huan rummaged through her whole body and only managed to scrape together 700 yuan.
At this time, she wasn't married yet. She hadn't married that good - for - nothing husband, so she didn't have much money.
Su Huan hesitated, but then she thought that as long as she had this treasure, she wouldn't have to worry about money in the future. So she must get this item at all costs.
"I only have 700 yuan. Is that okay?"
The old woman glared at her.
"If you don't have enough money, what are you doing shopping? Get out of here!"
She thought she was dealing with a rich person! Turns out she was just a pauper. What a waste of time! She should have shown this bracelet to that little girl earlier. Judging from how readily the girl took out money, she might even buy two at once.
"Please, sell it to me. I'll definitely pay you back if I get money later!"
Su Huan's eyes were a bit bloodshot.
The old woman's shrewd eyes rolled twice.
This bracelet wasn't from the Jiang family's batch of goods. It probably wasn't worth that much. Maybe she should just sell it to this little girl. After all, even a small mosquito is still meat.
After making these two sales today, she and her old man could just relax at home for the whole month.
"Fine, fine, take it."
The old woman waved her hand, pretending to be reluctant.
Su Huan's face lit up with joy. She immediately stuffed all the money into the old woman's hand and happily carried the bracelet back.
On the way, Su Huan ran into a friend.
The friend joked, "What good thing did you get? Why are you so happy?"
This friend also knew Guan Rumeng.
An alarm bell went off in Su Huan's mind. She subtly hid the item in her bosom and said indifferently, "It's nothing. I just took a fancy to a piece of jewelry and bought it on a whim."
Her friend snickered inwardly. In their circle, everyone knew each other well. The Su family had long since declined. But Su Huan always liked to act like a wealthy young lady.
The friend said half - jokingly and half - seriously, "Why haven't you gone to play with Guan Rumeng lately? She was still asking about you a few days ago."
At the mention of Guan Rumeng,
A look of hatred flashed across Su Huan's eyes.
In her previous life, after she helped Guan Rumeng come up with a plan to get rid of that bitch Li Chuchu, Guan Rumeng actually betrayed her.
Guan Rumeng had promised to help her marry Shen Yanshan after the deed was done. But instead, she not only didn't help her but also tricked her into marrying a gambler.
Although her gambler husband was addicted to gambling, his family was quite well - off. Thanks to her in - laws' jobs, Su Huan lived a comfortable life. And after she heard that Shen Yanshan died in a car accident, she gave up on that idea.
Unexpectedly, a few years later, her father - in - law had an accident at work.
Their whole family was sent to the border for labor reform.
With no money to gamble, her gambler husband tortured her day and night. Finally, she was beaten to death by her husband.
It was all Guan Rumeng's fault!
In this life, she must not repeat the same mistakes! She was going to take everything from Guan Rumeng!
Seeing that she didn't say a word for a long time and her expression became extremely strange, the friend asked, "Su Huan, what's wrong with you?"
Su Huan composed herself. "It's nothing. I just suddenly thought of something. Do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll go home first." She had to go back quickly to study how to activate this thing.
The friend was a bit confused. "No, go ahead."
The two parted ways by the roadside.
On the other side of the city, Li Chuchu returned home.
Sure enough, Shen Yanshan was still lying sick in bed. Li Chuchu felt his forehead. It seemed even hotter than before.
Tsk, he was almost burned to a husk.
Did this guy endure his illnesses on his own before?
Li Chuchu poured a cup of hot water from the thermos.
She walked to the bedside, gently patted Shen Yanshan's shoulder, and whispered in his ear, "Shen Yanshan, Shen Yanshan, wake up."
Shen Yanshan was woken up from his hazy dream.
Just a second ago, he was in an abandoned garbage dump. Several mangy dogs with drool dripping from their mouths were eyeing the half - bun in his hand menacingly, as if they were about to pounce at any moment.
Shen Yanshan gritted his teeth and curled up his body. Vaguely, he heard someone calling his name.
Who was it?
Shen Yanshan slowly opened his eyes. Noticing someone beside the bed, his muscles tensed up immediately. The ferocity in his eyes made Li Chuchu take a step back.
She said nervously, "I... I came to bring you medicine."
Seeing the frightened look in the girl's eyes, Shen Yanshan frowned slightly, and his hostility subsided a bit.
Li Chuchu quickly helped him sit up straight and then handed the medicine to him.
"Take the medicine while the water is still hot."
Shen Yanshan pursed his lips into a straight line. His dark and gloomy eyes stared fixedly at Li Chuchu, making her feel scared.
His face was sickly pale, and his lips were very pale too. If it weren't for his overwhelming presence, Li Chuchu felt that he might faint at any moment.
Even when he was this sick, his vigilance was still so high. It seemed that trying to increase the villain's favor by bringing him medicine wouldn't work.
Just as Li Chuchu was hesitating whether to leave, Shen Yanshan reached out and took the medicine.
Li Chuchu quickly put the water cup to his lips to help him swallow the medicine.
After taking the medicine, Shen Yanshan looked much more harmless.
He neither spoke nor rested. His eyes were vigilant and a bit blank.
He was like a little stray dog baring its teeth at others, suddenly being stuffed with a mouthful of dog food, at a loss and nervous. His superior appearance and unique temperament were far better than many current popular stars.
However, Li Chuchu didn't dare to look at him for too long.
The villain's mood was unpredictable. Who knew if he would suddenly fly into a rage the next second? Not to mention anything else, just his imposing manner made it hard for her to breathe.
"You had a really high fever this morning. You must have caught a cold from the rain last night. I just went out to buy you some fever - reducing medicine. You need to take this medicine twice a day. Remember to take the other dose. I'll go out first."
Li Chuchu said all this in one breath, then smoothly and neatly walked out of the door and closed it.
Outside the door,
Li Chuchu leaned against the wall, still in shock.
She hoped that the remaining conscience of the villain could sense her concern so that he would spare her life in a critical moment.
There was a clattering sound of pots and pans outside. It should be the neighbor cooking.
