When Shi Qingyue heard this, her mind went blank for a moment. She asked in disbelief, “What?!”
Lù Yue’an stammered and repeated, “The necklace, I lost it.”
Shi Qingyue sat there in silence, as if someone had pressed the pause button.
At this moment, it was as if a project worth hundreds of millions had been stamped wrongly because of an oversight, causing the entire project to fail.
As Lù Yue’an cried, she could sense Shi Qingyue’s expression, and her cries were filled with grievance and guilt.
She gingerly tugged at Shi Qingyue’s sleeve.
Her voice trembled with fear. “Mommy… do you… not want me anymore…”
Shi Qingyue only came back to her senses and looked at her after she felt her sleeve being tugged.
For a moment, she was in a daze. She raised her hand and patted Lù Yue’an’s head, her expression softening a little. “Silly child, don’t be afraid. How could
Mommy not want you? Our family can still afford to lose this bit of money.”
However, the value of the necklace was immeasurable; yet what could she do? It was already lost, so she could only stop thinking about it.
Shi Qingyue comforted Lù Yue’an.
Lù Yue’an looked at Shi Qingyue with reddened eyes. “I’m sorry, Mommy. I actually was keeping it very well, I really kept it well. It’s… They said they wanted to take a look and wanted to see it, so I brought it out. I kept it very well, but it was lost somehow. I’m sorry, Mommy. I was too afraid to tell you. Can you forgive me…”
As she spoke, she cried and sobbed, and it was enough to make anyone’s heart ache.
At this moment, Shi Qingyue did not care anymore. Her heart ached as she looked at her and wiped her tears.
“Don’t cry, don’t cry. Mommy doesn’t blame you. Our family can afford this much, so don’t be afraid. Mommy won’t abandon you. Don’t cry, darling.” She gently stroked Lù Yue’an’s head and hugged her.
Lù Yue’an leaned into Shi Qingyue’s arms, still sobbing, but the expression on her face had relaxed a lot, and she heaved a sigh of relief.
As Shi Qingyue comforted her, Lù Yue’an’s cries became softer and softer.
Until she calmed down.
Shi Qingyue patted her, comforting her. “It’s alright, it’s alright.”
Lt.* Yue’an stopped crying, but she was still curious as to why Shi Qingyue would call her back so hurriedly because of a necklace.
She looked at Shi Qingyue, wiped her tears, and looked at her pitifully. “Mommy, what’s with the necklace? Why were you in such a hurry to get me to come back?”
Looking at her and afraid that she would be sad again, Shi Qingyue was not prepared to say anything. She only waved her hand. “It’s nothing serious.”
However, Lù Yue’an kept her eyes fixed on her. “Mom, are you afraid that I’ll overthink it? If you don’t tell me, I’ll end up dwelling on it even more. Tell me how big a mistake I’ve made so that I can learn my lesson.”
Shi Qingyue looked at her and sighed. “It’s nothing. It’s just that the necklace that was auctioned together with it previously has been cut, so our necklace has become the only one of its kind. Its value will increase by several times, and it might even become a collectible. That’s why Mommy called you back in a moment of excitement. It’s not a big deal. Don’t mind it.”
Lù Yue’an’s mind went blank when she heard this.
She did a simple calculation. If the price increases several times, wouldn’t it be.. nine, ten digits!?
And ifit even became a collectors item, it’ll be a priceless treasure!
And that… is now in Lu Nings hands!
Lt.* Yue’an was floored, and her face turned even paler.
Shi Qingyue looked at her expression and thought that she was feeling unwell again.
She was indeed unwell, but it was not from guilt. She simply loathed the idea that the necklace was now in Lu Nings hands!
Lu Nings holding a necklace which is now worth about a billion!
