Gold has a high density and small volume, convenient to carry. After safely keeping three heavy ounces of gold, Zhou Mingyu pulled out a red porcelain vase from the cloth bag hanging under the cart.

A color as deep and vibrant as ox blood added a bright splash to the still dim restroom.

"I'll give this to you." Zhou Mingyu stuffed the porcelain vase into Feng Qingxue's hand. "I took your money, found some people, went through several twists and turns, and finally got hold of some old items from Zhou Ping's family. This is one of them. When my father was alive, he loved nothing else but collecting porcelain and wooden artifacts. Those old items were his treasures, and among them, the Ru Kiln pieces were his favorites. Although I didn't retrieve them all, I got back more than half, thanks to you. If I had been any later, someone else might have bought them. I heard offers had already been made, but Zhou Ping and his spouse were too greedy, thinking the offers were too low, and held back. Luckily, the people I found acted just in time, spending a total of eight hundred yuan."

Feng Qingxue looked at the porcelain in her hand and said, "Is this Lang Kiln Red?"

Zhou Mingyu's eyes were full of admiration, "It's rare to see a young person so knowledgeable about these things. Yes, this indeed is Lang Kiln Red from the Kangxi Era, imitating the red glaze porcelain of Xuande Gem Red."

The Friendship Store also had red glaze porcelain, from the Ming Dynasty. After sending off Adrian, Feng Qingxue went and bought it.

She had twenty thousand yuan in hand, quite wealthy.

All day long, aside from buying things, she just bought more things.

Ye Yan returned the money, but Xia Shuhuai's money wasn't returned. The reason was simple: if you pay back money shortly after borrowing it, people will inevitably have suspicions, so it's better to pay it back slowly later.

Feng Qingxue was worried the store clerks would become suspicious since she was buying so much, so she specifically asked Li Jiaoyang to assist.

Having lived in different environments, Li Jiaoyang didn't know much about these things, so Feng Qingxue would first browse around, noting the treasures she liked in her notebook, and then let Li Jiaoyang buy them.

To divert attention, Li Jiaoyang also invited a friend from his orphanage to help.

After four or five days, Feng Qingxue only had two to three thousand yuan left.

Almost everything bought outside was hidden from the children, and Feng Qingxue would store them in a space on her way back to the hotel. To those aware, she would say she had sent them to the Capital.

She socialized widely, so Li Jiaoyang had no doubts.

Using the excuse of sending stuff, Feng Qingxue moved most luggage and belongings out of the hotel, directly storing them in a secluded place, as many were bought openly at the Friendship Store.

Thus, when returning to the Capital, they only carried minimal luggage.

Before boarding, she sent a telegram to Lu Jiang, and as soon as they got off the plane, they saw Lu Jiang and two cars there to pick them up.

"I've carefully calculated it, only a few days of your two-month vacation are left. The sent items arrived early, but I didn't see you. I thought you had forgotten to return." Lu Jiang complained while taking the suitcase Feng Qingxue was carrying, the one Adrian had brought.

Feng Qingxue flashed her white teeth, dimples appearing, "I'm truly a bit reluctant to leave Shanghai."

That city was indeed a treasure trove; what she bought was just a tiny fraction.

Even separated for two years, Lu Erxiong hadn't grown distant with his father, happily pushing his head between them, saying, "I know why Mom is unwilling to leave Shanghai; there are many lovely pieces of jewelry there, which Sister really likes. She bought a beautiful green bracelet and is reluctant to take it off. I think Mom likes it too, Dad, you must buy one for Mom!"
