Ancient paintings connect the present, I hoard goods to support the villain Wang

Now that the words were made clear, Shi Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought it was something!"

"Don't worry, once you arrange your time, I'm here anytime, so you can leave right away."

Shi Xi chuckled and agreed immediately.

At worst, I can just prepare more food and oil for Xiao Jingyan these days. As for fruits, vegetables, meat and eggs, I can ask Yan Ran to help deliver them.

I just don’t know if the ancient painting will still be useful in Yan Ran’s hands!

The two chatted while eating.

Soon, the meal time was almost four hours, from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm.

Qi Ji glanced at the time on his phone. It was really too late as he had a book signing event in the evening, so he had to stop chatting with Shi Xi.

Shi Xi didn't want to keep him any longer, so she let him go first.

She paid the bill herself.

But he found that the order had already been paid for by Qi Ji.

Just now, during the meal, Qi Ji went to the bathroom. Shi Xi guessed that he must have bought it at that time.

Shi Xi thought Qi Ji was quite interesting.

But she invited Qi Ji to dinner just to thank him, which made Shi Xi feel a little embarrassed.

After much thought, she decided to transfer the money to Qi Ji.

Unexpectedly, when I was driving home, I received a message from Qi Ji on my phone:

"How can you let a girl pay for your meal?"

He did not take the money and returned it to Shi Xi.

Shi Xi felt helpless and could only think of compensating him through other channels in the future.

She hated owing others the most and always wanted to settle things separately, so she wanted to return the two boxes of jewelry that Xiao Jingyan gave her yesterday.

When I returned to the supermarket, I saw the letter from Xiao Jingyan and the two boxes of antiques that were still there.

"Thank you, Xixi. Everything is normal here. The warehouse has been prepared and is waiting for the arrival of coal at any time."

"Two boxes of jewels are not a token of respect. I hope Miss Xixi will accept them and please do not be polite to me."

"If Xixi thinks it's too little, I'll give you more in a few days."

Shi Xi almost had a heart attack after reading these words.

She wanted to know how rich Xiao Jingyan was!

Give it away?

No matter how many antiques her house has, she is afraid that others will mistake her for a tomb robber!

She hurriedly wrote back to Xiao Jingyan:

"I'll keep these two boxes of jewels for now, but please don't give me the rest."

"At worst, I can ask you for money when I'm short of it."

After writing this sentence, she did not forget to explain to Xiao Jingyan that she had prepared a car for him and wanted to teach him how to mine.

Xiao Jingyan had mentioned to her before that he wanted to go to Qianshuo to open a mine.

But Shi Xi felt that their mining technology was not good enough, so he asked Qi Ji for help. He wanted to find an expert to learn it himself, and then teach it to Xiao Jingyan after returning.

After telling Xiao Jingyan all these things, she changed into sportswear, took the ancient painting, picked up three pieces of jewelry she had picked out for Yan's father, and drove to Yan Ran's manor.

Yan's manor was on a mountain outside the city. When she passed by a farm road, she saw a white-haired old couple and a middle-aged man with only one leg and one arm selling peaches on the roadside.

Their peaches were loaded from the back of a farm four-wheel-drive vehicle.

The whole carriage was filled with peaches.

Shi Xi was driving fast, but judging by the appearance, these peaches must weigh at least 100 to 180 kilograms.

She didn't look at them any further, and quickly passed by them and headed straight for Yan Ran's manor.

"Xixi, I knew you were coming this afternoon, so I stayed home all day just to wait for you!"

I was moved by what Yan Ran said.

Shi Xi: ...

"Who doesn't know you're a homebody?"

"If you can stay at home, you should try not to go out at all!"

Shi Xi directly exposed Yan Ran's lies.

"Hey, isn't my jewelry store about to open?"

"I've been busy designing some new designs lately!"

As she spoke, she took out her tablet and showed Shi Xi the new pattern she had designed.

Shi Xi took a quick look. Yan Ran was an art student in the school, so her painting skills were naturally not bad, and the jewelry she designed was also very unique.

"Don't worry, when you open your business, I'll give you some antique jewelry so you can keep it as your store's treasures!"

Shi Xi said with great confidence.

This is the first store opened by her best friend, so naturally she has to support it.

Yan Ran smiled contentedly.

Shi Xi took out three antiques for Yan's father.

One is a jade ornament, the same variety as the white jade lotus sold at the auction last night; the other is a wide ring worn by a man, the texture and material of which were exclusively supplied to the ancient royal family; and the other is a calligraphy and painting from the Dayong Dynasty, said to be the work of Xiao Jingyan's father, Xiao Xiuyan.

This calligraphy and painting is also extraordinary. The landscape of Dayong depicted on it is particularly charming.

When Yan Ran saw these three things, he could hardly take his eyes off them.

Each of these items could be worth hundreds of millions!

How much are these hundreds of acres of land in their estate worth?

"No, Xixi, these things are too valuable, my dad can't accept them."

"Just give him a few of the vases you brought last time."

Yan Ran quickly refused.

Shi Xi knew that she was not a greedy person. She shook her head with a slight smile on her lips.

"Xiao Ran, we are good sisters. Uncle Yan has treated me like a family member over the years."

"These things were never exchanged with you. Instead, they were presented to Uncle Yan by me as a younger generation."

"Don't worry. Just tell your father what I said. If he still refuses to accept it, tell me."

Shi Xi's few words made Yan Ran's eyes moist.

In a family like hers, her father is a first-generation entrepreneur who started from scratch, and there are many weird relatives who are full of corruption.

Many relatives from far away also want to come to their house to ask for money.

After Shi Xi was kicked out of the Shi family, the Yan family's concern for her and the effort they put into helping her find Zhong Lijing were mostly because they sympathized with her situation and felt the same way.

To Yan Ran, although Shi Xi is not her biological sister, she is better than her own daughter.

"Thank you, Xixi. I will tell my father all your words."

Yan Ran hugged Shi Xi excitedly.

After the two sisters exchanged some personal words, Shi Xi went to the warehouse and delivered the coal to Xiao Jingyan.

Seeing Shi Xi delivering batches of coal to Xiao Jingyan, Yan Ran helped out:

"How much coal do you need? I'll ask my dad to get some for you."

When Shi Xi first delivered winter supplies to Xiao Jingyan, half of them were provided by Boss Qi and the other half by Yan Ran.

"Okay, help me get as much as you have over there."

"It's winter in the Great Yong Dynasty, and it's very cold. Their city happens to be a bitterly cold place."

Shi Xi was not polite to Yan Ran either.

"Okay, I'll contact them in person tomorrow."

"But it's cold there. Can it be done just by burning coal?"

Yan Ran asked curiously. She remembered that she had helped to get a lot of quilts, cotton-padded jackets and other things last time, and wanted to ask Shi Xi if she would need them this time.

Shi Xi shook her head. "They are ancient people after all. It would be a bit out of place for them to wear our cotton-padded jackets and down coats."

"Then we can send them cotton and let them sew their own cotton clothes." Yan Ran asked with an idea.

"Do you know anyone who grows cotton?" Shi Xi couldn't do it at all.

Yan Ran chuckled softly and asked, "Just tell me whether you want it or not?" "Happy weekend everyone, little treasures! I'll add another chapter tonight, come and read it~~"
