Chapter 323: Chapter 323: College Entrance Exam Jade Pendant
The Hengshan devotee asked indifferently, “Mr. Duan, are you buying this or not?”
Upon hearing this, Duan Xiuhao hurriedly said, “Buy, buy, buy, just this one first.”
The Spirit Talisman was made of jade with a hint of green in the white jade. Even though its appearance wasn’t particularly pleasing, Duan Xiuhao still bought it.
The price of a single Jade Talisman was five hundred thousand.
For Duan Xiuhao, this price wasn’t considered expensive.
One should know that the Spirit Talismans from the Hengshan devotee, when auctioned at Hongng, had been sold for as high as three million, and this one was made of jade, no less.
...
Upon this reflection, Duan Xiuhao felt not so upset anymore.
But just this one Talisman…
Duan Xiuhao took the Jade Talisman back to the house he and his son lived in, still undecided about who to give it to.
After all, Duan Xingye’s grades seed a bit lacking…
“Dad, you’re back?” Just as Duan Xiuhao had settled down on the sofa, he noticed the front door open, and Xu Xingchen ca in with a backpack on his back.
Duan Xiuhao asked in surprise, “Xingchen, you went out? Weren’t you at ho preparing for the college entrance exams?”
Xu Xingchen explained, “I went to visit Mom in detention, to tell her I’ll be taking the college entrance exams in a few days, so she shouldn’t worry about .” After speaking, Xu Xingchen forced a smile.
A sharp pang seized Duan Xiuhao’s heart!
Xingchen’s mother was already in prison, and now he only had his father left…
If he didn’t do well on this college entrance exam, there would be even less reason to convince the old man to let Xingchen return to the Duan family.
Duan Xiuhao looked at the only Jade Talisman in his hand and, without any more hesitation, handed it directly to Xu Xingchen, “Xingchen, this is a protective Jade Talisman I sought for you. Wear it to the examination venue, and you will surely achieve a great score!”
Xu Xingchen received it with both hands and imdiately knew from the touch that the quality of the jade was good. He expressed his gratitude, “Thank you, Dad. What about Xingye?”
Duan Xiuhao was montarily choked up and then waved his hand dismissively, “With his grades, it would be a waste to give him this Jade Talisman. It’s good enough that you have it. I’ll get him sothing else when the ti cos.”
“Alright, you go on and study hard. I’m going to buy so gifts for Xingye.”
Carrying his bag, Duan Xiuhao left the house directly, entered a store to choose a piece of clothing for n, and only then did he return ho satisfied.
Upon entering, he saw Duan Xingye with a fruit in his mouth and a formula book in his other hand.
Duan Xiuhao approached with the paper bag containing the clothes, speaking with a hint of pride, “Xingye, the college entrance exams are just a few days away. Your father has specially bought you clothes. See if you like them.”
Duan Xingye was so surprised that the fruit fell from his mouth. His eyes shone, filled with a stunned joy, “Dad… did you really buy this for ? Specifically for ?”
Duan Xingye felt insecure. This couldn’t be sothing bought for Xu Xingchen that, upon finding it unsuitable, was handed down to him, could it?
Duan Xiuhao pretended to scold, “Of course I bought it specifically for you! Could it be that I would give you your brother’s cast-offs? Do you like it or not?”
After receiving a definite answer, Duan Xingye was thrilled beyond words.
“I love it, thank you, Dad! I will definitely achieve a great score on my college entrance exams for you to see!”
Duan Xingye cheerfully took the clothes back to his room to try them on. They were a bit smaller than his usual size, but it didn’t matter…
He couldn’t recall how long it had been since he last received a gift from his father.
Duan Xingye took out his phone, snapped a photo of the clothes, and prepared to show it to Bai Chuwei.
Seeing Xu Xingchen’s profile picture on his social dia feed, he impulsively clicked on it. The first post was from Xu Xingchen, uploaded just a few minutes ago.
Seeing the content, the smile froze on Duan Xingye’s face.
