I Am Born With A Silver Spoon novel Chapter 249

Li Zhenguo called to talk about the jade pendant.

He inquired around and found out that there was an old and experienced master at the Jade Antique Street in Ping An County.

According to Li Zhenguo, the old master was very famous in the local area. His craftsmanship was passed down from his ancestors.

Needless to say, it was better to find an old master to examine this kind of ancient jade.

Chen Hao had decided to let the old master have a look at the jade first. If he couldn’t get any information from him, he would then find some other masters across the country.

After all, the old director didn't know anything about Meng Xin’s identity. It was impossible for Chen Hao to carry out the investigation if there were no clues at all.

Hence, that jade was the only clue that he had.

At first, Li Zhenguo wanted to accompany Chen Hao. But since Chen Hao’s father had told him that it would be better if fewer people knew about Meng Xin’s case, and coupled with the fact that Li Zhenguo was busy at the moment, he decided to go on his own.

After all, Chen Hao knew the way to that street.

The Jade Antique Street was not big, with only several shops selling ancient porcelain.

When Chen Hao reached the place, an old man with a long and white beard, dressed in a Tang suit as well as a pair of spectacles, was already waiting for his arrival. It was obvious that Li Zhenguo had arranged everything beforehand.

“Hello Mr. Chen, I am Xu Monian,” Xu Monian smiled at Chen Hao and said.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Xu. Let's get down to business. I would like you to help me appraise a jade pendant as well as finding out its history, including its age and origin. Anyway, it will be better if I can get more details from it!”

Chen Hao went straight to the point. After that, he carefully took out the jade pendant.

When Xu Monian saw this jade pendant, his eyes couldn't help but twitch slightly.

Immediately, with a respectful expression, he carefully took the jade pendant from Chen Hao.

“This kind of jade is exceedingly rare! It’s a good quality jade, an extraordinary one! How did you get your hands on this jade, Mr. Chen?” Xu Monian asked curiously.

He looked at Chen Hao up and down but couldn’t figure out his background.

Usually, those who owned this kind of jade were filthy rich.

From that, Chen Hao realized that Li Zhenguo didn’t reveal his identity to this man although he had arranged for this meeting.

At that moment, he said, “Mr. Xu, you don't need to know. Just tell me the origin of this jade pendant.”

Xu Monian said, “I apologize that due to my poor eyesight, it's a bit difficult for me to tell you the origin of the jade pendant right away. However, judging from the feel and the texture of the jade, I think I’ve seen some relevant records in one of the notes left by my ancestors. Mr. Chen, I wonder if it would be convenient for you to leave the jade pendant here? I'll let you know once I find out anything.”

“Alright. I hope you can check on it as soon as possible!”

Since Li Zhenguo had made the arrangement, he must have known the background of this old master. Chen Hao thought about it and then nodded his head.

After a short chat, Chen Hao was ready to leave.

What should I do now?

It was still a little early to go for his blind date. And so, Hao planned to withdraw some money now as the place where he bought the house was just nearby. Since Chen Hao also had his agreement contract in his bag, he figured he should just pay off the remaining balance for the house.

After all, Chen Hao didn’t want to get a loan.

“Chen Hao?”

At this time, a girl suddenly called out to Chen Hao. Obviously, she was very surprised to have met him here.

Chen Hao was surprised too when he turned and looked at the girl.

The girl came out from the shop, so it was obvious that she was living here.

It was none other than Xu Xin, Jiang Ranran’s best friend.

When Chen Hao first went to Jiang Ranran's house, the beautiful Xu Xin had left a deep impression on Chen Hao. He thought that she was a very kind girl.

Chen Hao smiled and asked, “Xu Xin, is this your house?”

Xu Xin walked toward him and replied with a smile, “Yep, he is my grandfather! By the way, why are you here in our shop?”

Xu Monian was stunned at first, then he quickly lectured Xu Xin and said, “Xin, how can you speak like that? You should call him Mr. Chen!”

Xu Monian was unclear about Chen Hao’s background, but he knew that Chen Hao was definitely not an ordinary person. After all, the middle-aged man who had asked him to listen to Mr. Chen’s order was close to the county head and even knew the president of the National Association for antique research.

Otherwise, Xu Yinian wouldn’t be so respectful to Chen Hao.

Hearing Xu Xin talked in that casual manner, he couldn't help but remind her.

Xu Xin laughed and replied, “Oh, grandpa, this is my new friend, Chen Hao. He’s also a childhood friend of Ranran’s!”

Chen Hao smiled and said, “It’s ok Mr. Xu. I’ll just leave you to your work.”

Xu Xin asked, “Ah? Chen Hao, you haven't told me about your business with my grandfather?”
