Then, Xiao Ye mentioned the antique small box.
"Actually, I took a fancy to the box in the old man's stall today, and I felt like there might be something terrible hidden in it."
After hearing this, the uncle raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was curious about Xiao Ye's intuition, but then shook his head.
"It was just a bet. I never like investing in unknown things."
Xiao Ye felt slightly disappointed after hearing what his uncle said.
Xiao Ye originally wanted to pay the bill and express his gratitude, but he soon discovered that the uncle seemed to be well-connected in this restaurant. He only exchanged a few words with the boss and left with Xiao Ye without paying the bill.
After the meal, the two walked out of the restaurant together and stood on the busy street.
Xiao Ye turned to his uncle with a sincere smile on his face.
"Uncle, thank you very much for sharing today. Chatting with you is really rewarding."
The uncle nodded slightly, smiled, and looked very kind.
"Young man, stop dreaming about getting rich overnight."
As he spoke, the uncle seemed ready to leave.
He waved gently to say goodbye.
Xiao Ye stood in the bustling street, feeling a little disappointed and dazed for a while.
Just as he was about to turn around and go home, a familiar female voice suddenly came to his ears.
He immediately turned around and found Zhao Yasi standing there among the crowd not far away, as if she was also here to hunt for treasure.
I saw her arguing with someone.
Xiao Ye immediately walked towards Zhao Yasi and curiously observed the dispute between her and the stall owner.
He saw a determined expression on Zhao Yasi's face, obviously not intending to compromise easily.
Finally, she shook her head and said she didn't want to buy it, then turned around and saw Xiao Ye.
Their eyes met in the crowd, and a relieved smile suddenly appeared on Zhao Yasi's face.
She walked towards Xiao Ye and said hello.
"Mr. Xiao, are you here too?"
Xiao Ye nodded and smiled.
"Yeah, I was just passing by and saw you and the stall owner arguing so fiercely. What happened?"
he asked curiously.
Zhao Yasi sighed and explained.
"I'm actually looking for a gift. It's my grandma's birthday party in a few days, and I want to find a special gift for her."
Xiao Ye's eyes lit up after hearing Zhao Yasi's words.
"Oh, a birthday gift?
After listening to Zhao Yasi's words, Xiao Ye suddenly had a thought in his mind.
He thought of the antique small box he saw in the old man's stall. What was hidden in that box might be the original manuscript of the famous Longzhong Dui in history.
"Miss Zhao, come with me. I have a place I want to take you to."
There was mystery and urgency in his voice.
Zhao Yasi looked at Xiao Ye's expression. Although she was a little curious, she still followed him through the crowd and came to the old man's stall.
The small box was still placed there quietly, as if waiting for their arrival.
Xiao Ye pointed to the antique small box and said to Zhao Yasi seriously.
"Ms. Zhao, I think this box is very suitable as a birthday gift for your grandma."
Zhao Yasi frowned slightly, obviously questioning Xiao Ye's suggestion.
"This box? It does look good, but is it really suitable? Its value..."
Xiao Ye smiled slightly and interrupted her.
"Ms. Zhao, do you remember what happened at the last auction? I can guarantee that the value of this box is far beyond your imagination."
A trace of hesitation flashed in Zhao Yasi's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.
She recalled Xiao Ye's accurate judgment at the auction, and her heart gradually became firmer.
"Okay, I believe in your vision. Let's buy this box."
Xiao Ye nodded, feeling pleased with Zhao Yasi's trust. He turned to the stall owner and said in a deep voice.
"Boss, we want this box."
The old man looked at Zhao Yasi and Xiao Ye, his expression still indifferent, but there was a shrewd light in his eyes.
"Five million, not a penny less."
Although Zhao Yasi was shocked when she heard the price, she did not flinch. Instead, she took out her bank card from her handbag and prepared to pay.
She handed over the bank card, and after the transaction was completed, she carefully took the small box into her hand.
The two left the stall, and Zhao Yasi couldn't help but ask.
"Mr. Xiao, how are you sure there is really something in this box?"
Xiao Ye replied with a smile: "Intuition, there are still some small details, but no matter what, I believe this box will never let us down."
Zhao Yasi asked curiously while holding the antique small box.
"This box looks very old. How do you open it?"
Xiao Ye smiled slightly and reached out to her.
"Miss Zhao, can you let me take a look? The way to open this kind of antique box is often very special."
Zhao Yasi handed the box to Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye took the box and observed it carefully.
[Push the middle of the four corners to open it. 】
His divine pupils flickered slightly, as if he was looking for something.
His eyes fell on the four corners of the box. Xiao Ye followed Shentong's instructions and carefully pushed the four corners toward the center.
There was a soft "click" sound, and the box seemed to be loose, but he was not in a hurry to open it.
"Ms. Zhao, this box can be opened now."
Xiao Ye said and gently put the box back into Zhao Yasi's hand.
"But I suggest you go home and open it again. After all, such treasures are best appreciated in a quiet environment."
Zhao Yasi looked at the box in her hand that could be opened, her eyes full of curiosity and expectation.
She nodded, feeling warm in her heart at Xiao Ye's consideration and consideration.
"Okay, Xiao Ye, thank you. I will open it carefully when I get home."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Xiao Ye felt a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
Zhao Yasi walked into the house holding the antique small box, and Zhao Gangyan's voice came from the living room, full of concern and curiosity.
"YELTS, where did you go today?"
Zhao Yasi put down her handbag and walked towards her father.
"I went to the antique street to pick out gifts. I wanted to find something special for grandma's birthday party."
Zhao Gangyan's eyes flashed with interest.
"Oh? What good things did you buy? Let dad see it."
Zhao Yasi smiled slightly and gently placed the small box in her hand on the coffee table.
"Actually, I haven't looked at it yet. This box is very special. I plan to open it later when it's quiet."
The moment he saw the small box, Zhao Gangyan's expression was dull for a moment, and then quickly changed into a complex expression mixed with surprise and dissatisfaction.
Zhao Yasi asked uneasily after noticing her father's reaction.
"Dad, what did you buy?"
Zhao Gangyan's expression became a little helpless, and he pointed to the folding fan on the table.
"I bought this folding fan, which cost a lot of money. But this box of yours..."
