Chapter 71 - Use my credit card (4)
Elder Lu was used to waking up early and was already eating breakfast in the dining room. Seeing that Lu Lixing was dressed in business formal, he furrowed his brow. "You just got better. Why don't you stay at home to rest for a few more days?"
Lu Lixing sat down. "Grandpa, I'm pretty much recovered. It'll be fine for me to go back to work. There's so many things at the company that need my attention."
Elder Lu took a deep breath. He knew that he couldn't influence Lu Lixing's decision. "You know what's best for you to do, so I won't say much. Just don't stay at work too late. You're not a bachelor anymore. Don't forget that you have a wife at home now."
"I know."
After finishing his breakfast, Lu Lixing went to work by car.
Ji Qingqing came downstairs and had a few bites of food.
Elder Lu saw that she was dressed up today and kindly asked, "Qingqing, are you going out today?"
"Yup." Ji Qingqing decided to surprise Elder Lu with the gift, so she hid her plans for today. "I have to go to work today."
"I'll have the chauffeur drive you then."
"Thank you, grandpa."
An hour later, Ji Qingqing arrived at the antique store using the address that Lu Lixing had texted her. Once she told the store attendant that she was picking up something under Lu Lixing's name, she was led to a private room.
The store attendant recognized Ji Qingqing and looked at her a few more times. Smiling, the store attendant said, "Miss Ji, please wait a little. The manager will be with you shortly."
"Okay."
It didn't take long for a man dressed in a suit to enter the private room. He presented Ji Qingqing with an exquisite sandalwood box. "Hello Miss Ji, I'm the manager of this store. You can just call me little Chen. This is the prayer beads that CEO Lu ordered yesterday. Please take a look."
Ji Qingqing hadn't opened the box yet. She was examining the exquisite pattern on the sandalwood box when she heard the manager say those words and felt a trace of suspicion.
"Yesterday?"
The manager smiled. "Yeah, Mr. Lu ordered this yesterday evening. Is there a problem?"
Ji Qingqing mulled over the answer. Didn't Lu Lixing say he had ordered this gift a while ago? Why was the manager saying he had ordered this gift last evening?
Don't blindly believe what a man tells you.
Why was Lu Lixing always up to something?
She opened the sandalwood box. There was a bracelet with 49 prayer beads lying inside the box.
Although she didn't know much about Buddhist beads and couldn't judge the quality of the material or the price, she could tell that this bracelet would be expensive just by looking at the color of these beads.
"Manager, how much does this bracelet cost?"
"Miss Ji, this bracelet has 49 beads, and they're rare Phoenix Eye Bodhi beads..."
And so, Ji Qingqing ended up listening to the manager's spiel about the prayer beads for nearly ten minutes. She really couldn't keep the smile on her face any longer, so she interrupted him to ask again, "Manager, how much does this bracelet cost?"
The manager slightly smiled. "670,000 yuan."
Ji Qingqing took out her wallet. Her hand paused on the credit card that Lu Lixing had given her before taking out her debit card and handing it to the manger.
"Please charge it to this card, thanks."
