My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 696 Red Beans Yearning 1

Su Chaoyang, the tomboy, held the dazzling red gemstone and offered it to Ye Junqing like a treasure. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Grandfather, this red gemstone would be more suitable for making a crown for auntie, oh~~"

Leaning against the chair back with a lazy and noble posture, Ye Junqing suddenly sat upright. He took the large and sparkling red gemstone from the child’s hand, laughed heartily with surprise, and lifted her up, saying, "You little darling, how can your eyes be so sharp?"

The dazzling red gemstone was not as captivating to Ye Junqing as Su Chaoyang herself. If only this child were his granddaughter!

People in the back rows could not see, but several guests in the front row were all stunned, filled with envy and jealousy.

Who could have imagined that an ordinary-looking vase would hide such a large, dazzling red gemstone?

And the quality of that red gemstone was top-grade!

Just one look, and it became an object of irresistible affection.

Several people looked with sympathy at the vase’s former owner, thinking he must be a fool.

The vase’s original owner was sick with regret. His grandfather, before dying, had only said the vase was a family heirloom. He never mentioned it concealed a red gemstone that looked incredibly valuable! If I’d known, I would never have sold this vase, even if I had to pawn everything I owned!

The host also stepped off the stage and said to Ye Xinguang, "Your Majesty, would you like us to invite a couple of experts for appraisal?"

Ye Xinguang, her face beaming with delight, replied, "Sure."

At the auction, there were several appraisal experts specialized in authenticating collectibles.

The high-end charity auction had invited national-level appraisal experts.

Three experts, renowned in the appraisal field, respectfully approached. They took the red gemstone from Ye Junqing’s hands and began to study and appraise it by the side.

After a short while, they were absolutely astonished.

"Your Majesty, this is the ’Acacia Red Bean’ that went missing a hundred years ago. I never imagined it would appear here."

The guests at the charity auction stirred with excitement upon hearing the name "Acacia Red Bean."

"Acacia Red Bean? That’s a rare treasure of incalculable value!"

"What’s that? I’ve never heard of it. Someone enlighten me, please!"

"It’s the red gemstone that Empress Pei’en wore on her Phoenix Crown for her grand wedding a hundred years ago! It’s said that later, when Empress Pei’en’s most beloved daughter got married, Empress Pei’en took the Acacia Red Bean off the Phoenix Crown and gave it to her daughter as part of her dowry. But the dowry went missing en route and has been unaccounted for ever since. Who would’ve thought it was hidden in an ordinary vase?"

"Wow! That little boy has hit the jackpot! He spent only 110,001 to buy the red gemstone from Empress Pei’en’s Phoenix Crown. His luck is just too unbelievable, right? If I had known, I would have bid on it too. I missed out on a fortune!"

"It seems like that little boy knew there was a red gemstone in the vase. Otherwise, why would he smash it as soon as he got it?"

"An eye for gems, first-rate appraisal skills—awesome!"

"Haha, look at the original owner of the vase! He’s regretting it so much his eyeballs are about to pop out. If it were me, having sold a priceless family treasure for 110,000, I’d be depressed enough to vomit blood!"

"What can be done? The transaction is complete, and everybody heard what he said. Regretting it now is useless. Who’s to blame for him squandering his heritage?"

"Maybe it was even stolen. If Your Majesty conducts a thorough investigation, his family will be considered thieves. Would he dare ask for it back? At this point, staying alive is what matters. It’s wise for him to tuck his tail and behave."
