Chapter 444: A Realization

"Brother Chen, are you good?" Zhang Jian looked at him with worry.

"Nothing, Just thinking about something." Lu Chen said. But Zhang Jian walked beside him,

"When were you interested in jade?" Zhang Jian noticed a jade pendant in his hand. It wasn't the white one he got from the shop.

It was the green one.

Lu Chen kept looking at it. It has been a couple of days since Lu Chen won the pendant.

The Huang family. Like the Bai family, they were also a powerhouse family. But wasn't this odd? Lu Chen never thought he would meet up with another one!

Is this the buy one get one free special?!

Another thought came into his mind; is that how he got close to the Huang family?

Long Shen was dipped into every single big family somehow or another. That included the Huang family. And this was a surprise for Lu Chen as he thought it was from another way.

A realization hit him: I cut off two routes for him. With this one move, he cut Long Shen off from the Bai and Huangs.

But the question was whether or not the Huang family would be pissed off at him. Remembering what Elder Wu said, Lu Chen grabbed his head.

...

Elder Wu was shaking, which stunned Lu Chen even more! He never saw him like this at all!

He explained, "The Huang family's company is the biggest in the jewelry industry. The amount of famous jewelry that they created is too much to count.

And their most popular crafts come from jade. And the rarest of them all is-"

"This thing?" Lu Chen said as he pointed at it.

Elder Wu nodded, "Yes. Long ago, the Huang family found one of the rarest imperial jades. And instead of selling it, they decided to make it into a pendant as an heirloom. They made it into 2 matching pendants. One for the head and the other for his spouse."

"..." Lu Chen looked at it. No wonder it was split. The symbol was supposed to form the Huang name. He grabbed his head.

"Young master, how did you get one of the pendants?" Elder Wu asked.

"Ugghh, would you believe me that the head of the Huang family bet this for my Qin-dynasty white jade?" Lu Chen showed him the other jade pendant.

"Where did you get that now?!" Elder Wu was about to get a heart attack from all these surprises.

"Umm, from an antique shop?"

"...I think you need a better explanation."

Alright. Lu Chen sighed as he talked about things that went down and how he found the pendant.

"..." No words.

Elder Wu had no words after hearing how Lu Chen found it. But then he suggested,

"Young master, you should hand the pendant back to the elder. If you don't hand it back, we might cause friction with the Huang family." That pendant was in their family for generations.

And he took it from him over a simple game of chess! This was the stupidest situation that Elder Wu had no words to describe.

"...I understand." Lu Chen knew he had to hand it over too. But I think it might be over. Remembering how much he was messing with Huang Muyang, he might have started a war with them.

...

Lu Chen looked down at his phone, which was ringing. It was none other than Huang Muyang.

Kid! Play chess right now!

Are you done with your work?! Come and play chess! I need my payback!

Brat! Don't think about hiding from me!

Ugh, He's so annoying. Lu Chen shook his head. The old geezer was texting him to the ends of the earth. But he was too focused on something else to care,

"Zhang Jian, are you going to the Bai family's birthday party?"
