Growing up in such a rural area with his grandfather, naturally he was the same as the children in the countryside. His simple and honest personality was also very carefree, and it was precisely because of this personality that Hu Qiantang made many male friends.

A man with such a carefree personality like Jiang Liu'er's was able to cause Hu Qiuting's good impression of this person to soar. In addition to Jiang Liu'er's good looks, he was also able to make Hu Qiuting somewhat fond of him.

"Haha, alright then. The price for this earring is 99. The other condition is that when I collect the crops here, you have to come and help. It's the same every year."

"Huh?"

Jiang Liu'er didn't think about the price and condition that Hu Qiuting offered. It was simply to the point of breaking his expectations. The price of 99 yuan for this earring, it couldn't be that Bai Jie was purposely making fun of him, right?

Jiang Liu'er thought about it and felt that it was impossible. With Bai Jie's identity and the wealth she had, even if Hu Qiantang were to pay one million, she would definitely not bat an eye. Furthermore, Bai Jie wasn't going to spend that much just to find an ordinary earring.

"Your reaction is a failure?" As Hu Qiuting spoke, he shrugged and got up, ready to leave.

Jiang Liu'er called out to her. The terms and conditions of this transaction were exactly the same. He didn't want to agree? There must be something wrong with his head, but...

"No, no, no. I can agree to your conditions and price, but …"

But what, everyone thinks that my condition is definitely hiding killing intent. Come on, I'm not making a movie, this earring is completely meaningless to me, but to others, it might be a pitiful memory of a love affair. Ninety-nine yuan, I just want to make a friend.

When Jiang Liu'er heard Hu Qiuting's words, her analysis was also correct. In addition to her attitude towards that little handsome brother from before, she didn't seem like some black-hearted girl who would think too much.

I just want to play too much, always running around outside. I'm worried about my grandpa being alone at home, plus he loves farming, an old man, how can he have the strength to harvest crops? So, I must take advantage of this opportunity to threaten others.

Jiang Liu'er looked at Hu Qiuting and agreed without hesitation. He had no reason to refuse a deal that only allowed him to earn money and not lose anything.

"You're really willing to agree?"

Hu Qiuting clearly did not expect that Jiang Liu'er would actually agree. 99 yuan was something anyone could take down in the blink of an eye, but this matter of helping to collect the crops was something that anyone would find odd and would definitely not agree to.

"Of course, it is just harvesting crops. Such a simple task, I can easily accomplish it with a bit of effort. However …" "Hehe, when can you show me the earrings?"

"What's there to be anxious about? Give me the 99 yuan. Hurry up and check out my earrings."

He quickly took out the money and gave it to Hu Qiuting. Hu Qiuting even seriously gave Jiang Liu'er a dollar before taking Jiang Liu'er to another room.

"Hm."

Even before they reached the room, Jiang Liu'er could already see the shiny black line, which made her feel happy. According to Bai Jie, this earring should not have such a strong black color, but the current black color clearly proved that this earring was a pretty good treasure.

Hu Qiuting walked into the room and carefully took out a box to hand to Jiang Liu'er. Jiang Liu'er took the box and, before the box had even been opened, saw those shiny black lines.

He stealthily took a deep breath and a stream of air flowed through his nose into Jiang Liu'er's body. That familiar warm feeling slowly removed the fatigue from his body.

Jiang Liu'er carefully opened the box, revealing a pair of silver earrings. The earrings were covered with blue gems and exuded a black aura.

This earring was definitely a priceless treasure. Was this Hu Lan Ting really willing to give him this earring just because it cost ninety-nine yuan? Seems a little unlikely.

"Are you sure you want to give me ninety-nine dollars for this earring?"

Hu Qiuting nodded, "Since it has already been agreed, you can't be thinking of going back on your word, right?"

Jiang Liu'er quickly shook her head. It wasn't that he wanted to back out of the deal, but this price was definitely suspicious. No wonder no one had made this deal with Hu Qiantang before.

"Since a gentleman pays the price, then thank you, beautiful lady." While he was speaking, Jiang Liu'er absorbed all of the air current in the earrings and carefully put them away.

"As for the matter of you agreeing to my harvest earlier, leave me your number. I'll call you when the time comes, come over and help."

"Of course." Jiang Liu'er gave her cell phone number to Hu Qiuting, who originally wanted to take Jiang Liu'er for a stroll around the area.

However, Jiang Liu'er kept on staying here. Since she had already gotten the earrings, she should quickly return them to Bai Jie.

"Alright then, I'll call you when the time comes. Oh right, thank you for today."

After leaving the road, Jiang Liu'er drove home. The road was not far, plus he had just absorbed the air flow from the earrings, he was full of energy. He stepped on the accelerator and the one hour journey actually ended in half an hour.

He called Bai Jie and made an appointment to meet up with her. Then, the two of them headed off in separate directions.

The appointed place was a coffee shop. When Jiang Liu'er left, Bai Jie still hadn't come. He ordered a cup of coffee and drank it mouthful by mouthful, but still felt that there was no good taste, so he just quietly looked out the window, waiting for Bai Jie.

However, Jiang Liu'er had to wait for an hour for Bai Jie to arrive. The moment she sat down, she picked up the coffee on the table and gulped it down.

"Phew …" He took a few deep breaths before calming down. "I'm sorry, I was delayed by an urgent matter and made you wait for a long time. Oh right, you said on the phone that you got the earrings, is it true?"

When Bai Jie mentioned the earrings, her eyes lit up and her expression became even more excited.

Jiang Liu'er nodded her head and took out the exquisite box from her bosom. "Of course I have it. I will definitely do what I have promised you. Here, take it."

Bai Jie's hands were trembling as she took the small box. Holding it in her hands, she opened the box with trembling hands. Seeing the pair of earrings quietly lying inside the box, a happy smile appeared on her face.

"This matter has finally come to an end."

"Matters? End? " Jiang Liu'er suddenly became interested in Bai Jie and the earring. He had heard from the people on the antique street that every antique had a story or legend.

The value of the antique itself, aside from its long duration and its exquisite craftsmanship, lies in the legend of the antique itself.

The fact that this story could be passed on for a long time was the real reason why everyone's eyes were focused on this antique.

"Right." Bai Jie nodded her head, closed the box and put away the earrings. Then, she raised her head and looked at Jiang Liu'er, "If you want to hear it, I'll tell you."

Jiang Liu'er didn't reply. Bai Jie continued on her own.

"Actually, I only heard a story about this earring, so I wanted to try my luck and find it. I didn't expect you to actually find it."

Bai Jie smiled, took a sip of coffee and continued.

"When I was young, my grandmother told me a story of love. This earring was actually a token of love between a loving couple. My grandmother said that if I obtained this earring, I would definitely be able to find the person I love. To others, this earring might just be an ordinary earring, but to me, this earring is a symbol of my happiness."

Jiang Liu'er understood the meaning behind Bai Jie's words and could not help but look at her. Bai Jie's gaze was lazily placed on her coffee cup, as if there was something unhappy going on.

Since Bai Jie didn't say anything, Jiang Liu'er wouldn't ask. The two of them just sat there without saying anything, yet they didn't seem too awkward either.

Bai Jie raised her head and looked at Jiang Liu'er. Suddenly, she felt a little stunned, and remembered the first time she had met Jiang Liu'er.

That high-spirited young man at the auction seemed to have something to do with her. She couldn't help but want to see that man, and she also couldn't help but think of that young man.

She hadn't even thought that she would have any interaction with this young man in the future. But now, she was sitting across from Jiang Liu'er and speaking about some of her little secrets. She had never felt this way before.

In front of everyone? She had always been hiding herself, unwilling to tell anyone about her little world. But today, she couldn't help but ask. If she wanted to speak out her thoughts, perhaps Jiang Liu'er already had some different feelings in her heart.

"Phew, it's getting late. Oh yeah, I told you about the earring payment. Give me your account number, I'll call you."

"Oh, that's not a small amount of money. I think it's better to pay in cash."

Speaking of the reward for the earrings, Jiang Liu'er couldn't help but want to laugh. She suddenly wanted to play a joke on Bai Jie.

"Ah?" Cash? I'm afraid I won't be able to get that much money in a short period of time. Forget it, tell me how much it is first and I'll think of a way to raise it for you. "

Jiang Liu'er touched her chin and laughed, "Oh, that's fine too. I'm afraid that you won't be able to afford all this money by yourself, or do you want me to go with you?"

Bai Jie looked at Jiang Liu'er and frowned, "This earring shouldn't cost that much money, right? Forget it, since I've already brought the earring, it's impossible for me to not pay. Tell me, how much money is it?"

"Hahaha, look at how nervous you are. I'm kidding with you. The owner of this earring gave me 99 yuan and a very simple condition. I won't take this money. How about you sell it to me as a favor?"

"Huh?"

Jiang Liu'er's words had caught Bai Jie off guard. The situation wasn't progressing at the tempo she expected, but the tempo wasn't too bad either.
