Wrongly married sweet marriage, the president's contract wife

"No." Qiao Ran asked subconsciously, "What's the matter? What happened?"

"I don't know, it's a bit strange. Originally, Dean Li Ruoying was going back to the K City Orphanage last night, and the Daoist Hall arranged a car to take her back. However, she didn't take the Daoist's car in the end, and she didn't say anything. This morning the driver Tell me." Lin Yuyue replied.

"Could she have gone back by herself? I walked around the charity gala a few times last night, but I didn't see Dean Li. However, I didn't finish the final awards and flower presentation, so I left first. Yesterday Did Dean Li attend the award presentation tonight?" Qiao Ran asked.

"No. I asked the staff, and Dean Li was not present." Lin Yuyue said, "I called Dean Li, but she didn't answer. I just called the K City Orphanage, and they said Dean Li I haven't been to the orphanage yet. This is strange. Ordinarily, if Dean Li went back by himself, he must have been in K City after so long."

Qiao Ran looked at her watch, "Although it's still early, it's impossible that Dean Li hasn't woken up yet. As I remember, she always wakes up very early, so she must have woken up after five o'clock."

"The Daoist Hall invited Dean Li here, but now there is no return, so it's hard to explain." Lin Yuyue worried, "Principal Li is so old, where will she go?"

"Otherwise, check the surveillance at the charity venue?" Qiao Ran suggested.

"We have seen our own surveillance at the venue. Although Dean Li has appeared in the surveillance, we have not seen her again since 09:30, and we don't know her whereabouts. As for the surveillance of public parts, after all, Dean Li disappeared. 24 hours, and we can't report missing, and we don't have the right to check." Lin Yuyue replied.

"We have to wait and see." Qiao Ran frowned, "At the charity party, it's impossible for Dean Li to have an accident."

Although she denied it like this, she panicked for no reason and felt her scalp tingling.

"Yeah, I think so too. With so many people, how could something happen? What could happen? Maybe I'm thinking too much." Lin Yuyue breathed a sigh of relief, "Qiao Ran, I'll hang up first. There is news I will contact you again."

"Okay, if you find Dean Li, let me know."

Qiao Ran replied.

Although she couldn't see Dean Li Ruoying with her current face, but Dean Li Ruoying treated her well since she was a child, and she didn't want anything to happen to Dean Li Ruoying.

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Ran started the car and drove out of the underground garage.

On the company side, the design plan is halfway through, and it will be busy recently.

On the other side, Zuo Chenye drove to the antique appraisal place according to the address Xu Anning sent him.

This antique appraisal is privately run, and its address is located in an old historic site.

When Zuo Chenye arrived, Xu Anning had already arrived.

He took Zuo Chenye along the long bluestone road, with old wooden carvings and painted buildings on both sides, corridors and cornices, at least a hundred years old. Exquisite as before.

Once you walk in, it's like stepping back in time.

The warm winter sun diffuses down, and time seems to slow down.

The bustling outside life seems to have come to a standstill, leaving only the quaint atmosphere lingering around.

"How did you find this kind of place?" Zuo Chenye looked around and asked in surprise.

"Oh, it was recommended by a friend. You sent me a photo of the pendant yesterday, and I immediately asked for a professional identification structure. But they can only identify the material, and have no experience in history and cultural relics. These must be specialized in looking for talents on the road of antiques Okay." Xu Anning explained, "After asking a few times, everyone finally recommended this place. Master Huang here has been engaged in antiques all his life, with rich experience and knowledge, and can tell a thing or two about even the most wicked things."

Zuo Chenye walked and walked, and finally reached the main hall.

He looked up and saw "Three Questions Hall" written on the door plaque.

"That's right here. Young Master Zuo, go this way." Xu Anning led the way to the workshop inside.

Master Huang stood up and said with a smile, "Hello, both of you. The conditions here are simple, so I won't pour tea for you." He could tell that one of the guests was well-dressed, either rich or expensive.

Zuo Chenye took out the pendant from his pocket and handed it to Master Huang, "Please take a look, Master. I think there was a pattern on it, but I can't see it clearly."

"Okay." Master Huang took the pendant from Zuo Chenye's hand, and sat back on his workbench.

After looking at it carefully, he said, "It's a certain age, I can't tell if it's too many, it must be a hundred years old. So, if you don't mind, I'll clean it first, the oxidation is too severe."

He pointed to the Chinese-style sofa in the room, "Please sit down, it will take a while."

"Okay." Zuo Chenye sat down, and he looked around. The room was full of antiques, hanging on the walls, on the floor, and hanging from the ceiling. Even what he was sitting on now were all antiques with a history of hundreds of years.

It's like another world here, different from the outside world.

"Master Zuo, sit down for a while. I'll go out and buy you a cup of coffee." Seeing the long waiting time, Xu Anning suggested.

"Okay. You go." Zuo Chenye nodded lightly.

Xu Anning left sideways and respectfully.

Master Huang turned on the work lamp on the table, put on a cyclopean magnifying glass, and began to clean the silver pendant. He took out a paste, squeezed out a little on the cotton swab, and carefully wiped the silver pendant.

"The carving is very good, and the shape is unique." While cleaning, Master Huang said, "It must not be a folk thing."

"It's not from the common people? Could it be from the former palace?" Zuo Chenye didn't quite understand, so he asked casually.

"No, no, no, that's not what I mean. It's not the cultural relics from the palace. I mean that ordinary craftsmen can't make them, like palace craftsmen, but the shape of the utensils is definitely not what the court wants." Master Huang replied.

It took him some time to spread the silver pendant evenly.

Then he poured some transparent solution into a glass vessel, and put the silver pendant coated with the paste into the vessel containing the solution.

Wait a moment.

At this time, Xu Anning had already bought the coffee.

"Master Zuo, I'll give you coffee." He respectfully handed it over.

Zuo Chenye took it, drank a few sips, and put it on the tea table. He waited patiently for Master Huang.

Xu Anning also brought a cup of coffee to Master Huang, and he put it in front of Master Huang.

Master Huang raised his head and said with a smile, "Thank you, I'm not used to drinking these, foreigners' stuff. Haha."

"That's right, I was negligent." Xu Anning said politely.

Master Huang continued to concentrate on his work.

Suddenly, he frowned, "Strange, why does this shape look familiar to me?"
