After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! Chapter 2307: An Old Man With a Young Wife



"The thing is I don't know what kind of attraction the hairpin holds for you. Why are you willing to spend so much money to get hold of it?" Gao Long asked curiously.

Qiao i looked into Gao Long's eyes and whispered, "Uncle, what if I say that it's part of my grandmother's belongings?"

"What!" Gao Long said as he looked at Qiao i in shock.

Gao Long did not interact much with Gao Tao, but he knew very well that Gao Tao had already passed away for many years by the ti Qiao i was born. How did Qiao i know that the hairpin belonged to Gao Tao?

"My eyes and ears are much sharper than an ordinary person. Although that hairpin looks simple, there's gold thread coiled around the edge of the black jadeite. The pattern on it looks similar to the jewelry I bought at the auction house in Country M. Moreover, there's indeed a hairpin missing from that set of jewelry, so I guess that it used to belong to Grandmother," Qiao i explained.

"Then has it crossed your mind that it might be a replica? Or you may see wrongly," Gao Long said.

Back then, Gao Tao had countless admirers. Over the years, most of the Gao family's things had already been plundered and Gao Tao's things had also been sold by those two assholes. There were very few things that they could find by now.

It was particularly difficult during this ti. Even if one had sothing nice at ho, one would not dare to show it to anyone. Finding Gao Tao's belongings was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"It's just 5 million dollars. It doesn't matter. At most, we can start all over again. There are many ways to earn money, but if we miss out on Grandmother's belonging, it will be difficult to find it again. Moreover, this 5 million dollars will go to charity. No matter how we spend that money, we have done a good deed," Qiao i said very seriously.

Gao Long nodded in understanding. If he was in Qiao i's shoes, he would have made the sa decision as her.

Many people ca forward to ask Qiao i for a dance after seeing how generous she was. Qiao i rejected them one by one. Qian'e and Nan Dong made their way through the big group of people to finally reach Qiao i's side.

Qian'e sighed deeply and said, "You're really too charming. Those who don't know better would think that the center of the dance floor is here!"

Qiao i shrugged and said resignedly, "Are you blaming for this? I'm thinking that I want to leave this place soon."

"That won't do. You've beco the focal point of this charity gala! If you leave early, it will be like a slap on the organizer's face," Qian'e said.

"Mr. Nan, why don't you sit down? There are still many seats here." Qiao i gestured with her chin in the direction of the sofa at the outermost corner. There were not many sofa seats in this spot. Gao Long was seated on Qiao i's left while Qiao i and Qian'e sat together on the main sofa. There was no other seat for Nan Dong, but they could not possibly let him stand beside them like a waiter.

The organizer of this charity gala was the president of the charity association in the capital, Chen Fei. He was also Qiao i's business associate. Chen Fei specially brought his wife over to et Qiao i.

"Madam Qiao, long ti no see~" Chen Fei's wife said.

Qiao i was caught off guard for a mont. Chen Fei was already in his 50s, but yet he had such a young wife. The person in front of her looked to be... around 20 years old. Based on what she rembered, Chen Fei's wife did not look like this.

Qian'e whispered into Qiao i's ear, "Chen Fei and his first wife have gotten a divorce. This is his new wife whom he married last month. Her na is Nan Li."

Another person with the surna Nan...

"Hello, this should be the first ti we're eting each other," Qiao i said.

"No, we t at a ball before. At that ti, you had even expressed your concern about my health! If I hadn't t you that day, I might have been fired from my job," Nan Li said.

Qiao i recalled that incident. At that ball, she had turned a corner and witnessed a waitress being scolded. She could not help but go forward to speak up for the waitress. She did not know that Nan Li was that waitress and definitely did not expect her to have beco Mrs. Chen.

"I rember now! Then it's really fate in motion," Qiao i said.

"Thank you for your kindness today, Madam Qiao and Mr. Nan. I wonder if the two of you are willing to have a dance together? In our rundown, we have made arrangents for the top four donors to grace the dance floor," Chen Fei asked tentatively.

Nan Dong stood up and said with a smile, "I'd be very honored to do that."

Qiao i looked at everyone without saying anything. She had always proclaid in public that she did not know how to dance, so no one had ever forced her to do it. Then again, in the early days, there were indeed many people who mocked Qiao i for being from the countryside and said that it was normal for her not to know how to do sothing elegant.

"If Madam Qiao is unwilling..."

Before Nan Li could finish her sentence, Qiao i patted the corner of her skirt and stood up, saying, "Alright."

Chen Fei was overjoyed. This would be Qiao i's first ti dancing in public. There were many reporters around today, so he intended to pay off a few reporters to do a writeup on this.
