Chapter 88 The Core of the Array is in Hand
Then, in front of everyone, Aunt Lan took out the ancient wooden box from under the fire pit, opened it to reveal the bronze bell inside.
"This is our Luo family heirloom. We don't know its origin. It has been passed down orally from generation to generation in our Luo family. As a family heirloom, it cannot be sold easily."
Xu Lu picked up the bronze bell from the wooden box with a puzzled look on her face.
"Aunt Lan, isn't this just an ordinary bronze artifact? Is it that valuable?"
"I don't know either. I heard from the elders that this was dug out of the ground by the founding emperor. Seeing that it had been buried in the soil for so long without rusting, he figured it must be a valuable antique, so it was passed down as a family heirloom."
Regarding this bronze bell, not only Aunt Lan, but even the Luo family's ancestors were unaware of its value and had never had it appraised.
"By the way, Ying'er, did you inquire about the approximate price of this item when you went to the antique market?"
"No, I hadn't even had a chance to consult an expert before that happened."
Luo Ying'er gave a wry smile. She had originally planned to take the picture of the bronze bell to the antique shops in the antique street to ask the experts about its price, but she was ripped off by the stall owner along the way, and then she met Su Muchen, so she lost interest in thinking about it anymore.
"Sister Xiaolu, do you know any experts who could help with the identification?"
"I don't know any of these people, but I can ask my family to help me see if they know any antique experts."
After speaking, Xu Lu took out her phone, pretending to call her family.
Upon seeing this, Su Muchen could no longer remain calm and quickly spoke up to stop it.
"Officer Xu, I think you shouldn't trouble your family. I can tell Aunt Lan really doesn't want to sell this family heirloom. How about this, you don't have to sell this bronze bell. You can keep it for now. I can provide accommodation for Aunt Lan and Miss Ying'er. I happen to have an empty villa in Yue Qingshan. The environment is nice and quiet enough. It would be perfect for Aunt Lan to recuperate there."
Su Muchen's words startled the two sisters and Aunt Lan, who then showed expressions of disbelief.
"Brother Su, you...you're so rich! You drive a car worth tens of millions, and you even have an empty villa in Yue Qingshan. I've heard that villas in Yue Qingshan cost at least several million each."
"Indeed, Mr. Su, judging from your requirements, your villa must be in a prime location, which would cost over ten million. Where would you get so much money at your age?"
Faced with the two women's questions, Su Muchen smiled and remained noncommittal. Money was truly like dirt to him; with his methods, making money was a piece of cake.
"You've all seen my medical skills. Just think about it, how much would I get for treating a rich person? Making money is really not difficult for me."
Su Muchen had once again subtly put on an act.
The two women thought about it and agreed that Su Muchen's words made sense. Indeed, with such superb medical skills, making money would be a piece of cake.
"Mr. Su, I'm becoming more and more interested in your identity."
Hearing Xu Lu's words, Su Muchen chuckled inwardly. It seemed that this beautiful policewoman had also developed feelings for him. Who knows, maybe in the future... Hehehe!
"What do you think of my suggestion? I will keep this bronze bell for now. Aunt Lan and Miss Ying'er can move to my villa. Once Aunt Lan's health has improved and her illness has not relapsed, you can move out whenever you want. I will give the bronze bell back to you then."
Su Muchen thought this was reasonable. It was unreasonable to let the mother and daughter move into a big villa without making any effort. Not to mention him, the mother and daughter would not accept that.
After all, they don't have any relationship, and Su Muchen's sudden behavior towards them makes it easy for people to suspect his intentions.
Luo Ying'er was more than willing to accept Su Muchen's suggestion, but Aunt Lan was hesitant.
"I think Mr. Su's suggestion is very good. Aunt Lan, you and Ying'er are just going to stay at Mr. Su's vacant villa for a while. That way, you don't have to sell the family heirloom. You can leave the heirloom with Mr. Su, so both of you can feel at ease."
Xu Lu's brilliant assist earned Su Muchen's silent thumbs-up.
"Well... alright, then I'll leave it to Dr. Su!"
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all!"
Seeing that Aunt Lan had finally agreed, Su Muchen was overjoyed. With the replica of the Eastern Emperor Bell in hand, he could start setting up the Spirit Gathering Array.
Although this divine object is only temporarily held by me, who can predict what will happen in the future? Perhaps Aunt Lan will become my mother-in-law and live in the villa I provide. In that case, I wouldn't have to return the divine object.
"Brother Su, thank you so much. Don't worry, when Ying'er becomes successful in the future, she will definitely repay you properly."
[How can I repay this debt? Perhaps I should repay it with my body.]
A wicked thought arose in Su Muchen's mind. Luo Ying'er admired him so much, and now that he was in a good position, he might be able to win her over very soon.
"Miss Ying'er, we can talk about that later. You two pack your things first, and I'll make a call to have the house cleaned and then take you there."
After finishing speaking, Su Muchen left the inner room, walked out of the courtyard, and took out his phone to call Xiao Ru, the manager of Yue Qingshan's sales office.
After communicating with Xiaoru, we finally secured the villa No. 3 in the development. I also asked her to cooperate and not give anything away. We could discuss signing the contract later.
Xiaoru naturally obeyed Su Muchen's requests without hesitation, and there was no need to rush into signing the contract and making payments.
After Su Muchen finished his call, Aunt Lan and her daughter had packed their luggage. Actually, there wasn't much to pack; they just took a few clothes. After all, Su Muchen had said that the villa was fully equipped, and they could just move in with their bags.
The group rode in Su Muchen's Phantom towards Yue Qingshan. Xu Lu followed along, wanting to familiarize herself with the place so she could easily visit the mother and daughter in the future.
Inside the car, Aunt Lan looked at the luxurious interior and was filled with curiosity about Su Muchen. He was handsome, rich, and had superb medical skills. Wasn't he the perfect candidate for son-in-law?
It's said that mothers-in-law like their sons-in-law more and more the more they look at them. Aunt Lan has already secretly decided that she will definitely let her daughter get closer to Su Muchen in the future. After all, such a good son-in-law is hard to find even with a lantern.
Luo Ying'er was unaware that she had been sold by her mother. Of course, even if she knew, she would be more than willing to accept it.
