Chapter 199: Chapter 199 You Really Are Generous

“Hello, how can I assist you?” the pawnshop attendant asked.

“This is a Patek Philippe limited edition watch that I bought for four million eight hundred thousand. Could you appraise it and see how much it can pawn for?”

Liu Yujuan placed the watch on the counter.

At that moment, a young man with a scar on his face arrived at the entrance of the pawnshop and couldn’t help but take a deep look at Liu Yujuan upon hearing her words.

“A Patek Philippe limited edition watch worth four million eight hundred thousand?”

The staff member was taken aback, not reaching for the watch to examine it, but instead said, “Madam, please follow me this way, I’ll find someone to appraise it.”

The staff member led Liu Yujuan to a private room, poured her a glass of water, then went to find a watch appraiser to come over.

After an appraisal, it was confirmed to be genuine, and the pawn value offered was three million.

Liu Yujuan agreed on the spot, as pawning it there was merely meant to pay for a meal at the restaurant.

She would come back in a couple of days to redeem the watch with the money.

After obtaining the money, Liu Yujuan left with two security guards.

At the entrance, the previously mentioned young man with the scar pawned a piece of gold the size of a thumbnail.

The pawnshop also offered gold buying services, and after appraisal, the gold was worth over ten thousand.

After the transaction, the scar-faced young man casually inquired about Liu Yujuan.

“Brother Wang, who was that just now? A single watch worth four million eight hundred thousand, why would such a wealthy person need to pawn her watch?” the scar-faced youth asked offhandedly.

“I asked a security guard. That woman was dining at Yang’s Restaurant and, for some reason, ran short on money. She couldn’t borrow any more over the phone, so she had to pawn her watch here,” Brother Wang, the staff member, explained.

“Oh, the meals at Yang’s Restaurant are famously expensive. I haven’t had a chance to eat there myself. By the way, how many days did she pawn her watch for?” the scar-faced young man asked.

“Just five days,” Brother Wang replied, “Why are you so concerned about others? Where did you get this gold?”

The scar-faced young man had visited a few times, each time with gold of roughly the same size.

“Hehe, that’s a secret,” the scar-faced youth laughed, “I have to go now. When I get more gold, I’ll come back to sell it to you.”

The scar-faced youth got up, waved his hand, and left.

…

Liu Yujuan returned to the restaurant, paid off the three hundred and twenty thousand bill, and then drove away.

She did not return home.

Now that she had money again, she had to go shopping and buy some more things.

After all, the money spent could always be taken from her wealthy son-in-law, Xu Yang.

After buying items worth several hundred thousand, and paying another visit to the beauty salon, she finally went home.

Upon arriving home, she saw Zhao Yulu sitting on the sofa.

“Oh? Why are you at home? Why aren’t you with Xu Yang?”

“Or are you back to pack up your things, preparing to move in with Xu Yang?”

“Let me tell you, you can move out, but he must give me ten million first, for me to spend,” Liu Yujuan directly demanded ten million without feeling it was too much to ask.

Keep in mind, Xu Yang was a billionaire after all.

The valuation of Jiangdi Lao exceeded billions, and the worth of the copyright owned by that company, Pioneer Culture, was even up in the tens of billions.

To ask for ten million, Liu Yujuan felt she was asking for too little.

This was just the first time, so she didn’t want to ask for too much.

After spending this ten million in a short while, she’d probably ask for a billion at least. Anything less wouldn’t do justice to having such a wealthy son-in-law.

Zhao Yulu didn’t speak and didn’t turn around to look at Liu Yujuan.

“By the way, I called you, why didn’t you answer?” Liu Yujuan didn’t hear Zhao Yulu’s answer and asked again, but still received no reply. Sensing something was off, she quickly put down her handbag, walked over to the sofa opposite Zhao Yulu and sat down, only to see Zhao Yulu looking calm, seemingly lost in her own world, wondering what she was thinking about, “Yu Lu, at least say something, why aren’t you with Xu Yang?”

“Mom, I went to see Xu Yang,” Zhao Yulu said, her voice emotionless.

“I know that, he went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to divorce Zhao Yuxin and marry you, didn’t he?” Liu Yujuan asked expectantly.

“It’s impossible between us now…” Zhao Yulu briefly explained what happened during their meeting.

“What, how could this happen!” Liu Yujuan’s face went pale.

This was nothing like what she had expected.

She thought that once Zhao Yulu appeared in front of Xu Yang, even without saying much, the two would reconcile.

But according to what Zhao Yulu was saying, Xu Yang had truly fallen in love with Zhao Yuxin.

What to do now?

Just today, she had pawned her watch.

She had hoped to get some money from Xu Yang to redeem her watch.

Now, with Zhao Yulu not getting back together with Xu Yang, that idea had gone down the drain.

Where was she supposed to find the money to redeem her watch now?

“That’s how things are, don’t bring this up in front of us ever again!” Zhao Yulu said.

“No, you still have a chance. He must be blaming you for leaving him. He wants to punish you with this method, to make you suffer before he can forgive you. Arrange another meeting with him. On the second meeting, you two will get back together,” Liu Yujuan refused to give up.

“Mom, stop deceiving yourself. These are all your wishful thoughts. I won’t listen to you anymore. I’m not a child, and I can judge for myself. Whether he still loves me or if he sees Yuxin as a substitute, I can tell the difference. From now on, stop talking to me about this,” Zhao Yulu said.

“You…” Liu Yujuan wanted to continue.

“Don’t go on, just go cook. I’m hungry,” Zhao Yulu said.

“Alright, I’ll go cook,” Liu Yujuan saw Zhao Yulu was determined and didn’t say any more. After all, she had shopped the entire afternoon and was hungry as well. It was better to have dinner before discussing further.

After more than half an hour, the mother and daughter sat down at the dining table to have their meal.

As they were almost finished, Liu Yujuan opened her mouth as if wanting to say something, but was seen by Zhao Yulu who seemed to know what Liu Yujuan was about to say. She spoke first, “If you’re going to talk about Xu Yang again, don’t blame me if I get upset with you.”

Liu Yujuan, looking slightly displeased, changed the subject, “Okay, I won’t talk about Xu Yang. Let’s talk about something else.”

“What is it? Tell me,” Zhao Yulu said.

“I need some money right now, can you help me borrow some?” Liu Yujuan asked.

Zhao Yulu frowned, “What do you need money for?”

Liu Yujuan had spent all the money she got from the divorce, which infuriated Zhao Yulu.

But that was Liu Yujuan’s money, and she had no intention of asking for it; although she was angry, she kept herself from any radical actions.

But now, Liu Yujuan was actually asking her to help borrow money.

“Today, I…” Liu Yujuan told the story of inviting her friends to eat out, not having enough money to pay the bill, and ending up pawning her watch.

“What, are you crazy, actually dining at Yang’s Restaurant? Can we even afford a place like that?”

“One meal cost over three hundred thousand, you’re really extravagant. I haven’t even eaten such an expensive meal in my entire life,” Zhao Yulu trembled with rage.

This mother was really wasting the family’s resources.

Just to show off to a few friends, she treated people to a meal that cost tens of thousands.

She herself had never had such an expensive meal!
