Chapter 1349: Chapter 1349: Where Have I Seen This Bead Before?
The table was set in the backyard. Because the house had just been renovated, the backyard was neat and tidy, still without Madam Li planting vegetables.
The backyard was spacious, setting several tables was not a problem at all.
Shu Yu brought the old lady to the main table. At this moment, the little girl Zaozao was already back in Zhou Qiao’s arms, looking around curiously with her eyes wide open.
Shu Yu glanced over, saw the dishes were served, and began to help the old lady with her food.
“It’s okay, sit down and eat yourself, no need to take care of me.”
The old lady pulled her to sit and chuckled, looking at the large family gathered together joyously, she was very pleased.
Shu Yu sat down, just lowered her head for a sip of soup when she suddenly felt a gaze fixed on her.
She slightly turned her body, lifted her head, and met Yuan Shanchuan’s gaze.
Shu Yu was taken aback, looking puzzled at her Fourth Uncle.
Yuan Shanchuan pursed his lips, gave her a look, and Shu Yu understood, saying to the old lady, “Grandmother, I suddenly remembered something I need to discuss with Fourth Uncle. I’ll go over first, lest I forget later.”
“Go ahead.”
Shu Yu got up, and over there, Yuan Shanchuan also said something to Lu Sixing, and then walked to the front yard with Shu Yu.
There wasn’t anyone in the front yard at this time, apart from those helping to serve dishes. Everyone was in the backyard enjoying the meal.
Once in the corner, Shu Yu asked, “Fourth Uncle, what is it you wanted to talk to me about?”
Yuan Shanchuan said in a low voice, “Yu, do you know Lele has a bead?”
Shu Yu froze, jerking her head up, “Why would Fourth Uncle suddenly bring up that bead?”
She certainly knew. The first time she saw Little Song Le, she thought the bead in the child’s hand looked somewhat familiar, like she’d seen it somewhere, but she couldn’t recall where.
Unexpectedly, hearing Yuan Shanchuan mention it, could it be…
“Fourth Uncle has seen it somewhere else too?”
“I have,” Yuan Shanchuan nodded.
Shu Yu hurriedly asked, “Where?”
“The black market.”
Shu Yu was stunned, the black market??
“Yu, do you remember when I was trapped in the black market for several days, there was a steward from the black market who coveted a painting I had. I had a conflict with that steward, and at that time I saw a string of beads on the steward’s wrist. The bead on it was exactly the same as the one Little Song Le had. The steward seemed to treasure it very much.”
After seeing the bead, Yuan Shanchuan thought long and hard about it, feeling he should e to ask Shu Yu first.
That steward was not a good person, and the black market is not a good place; the connections are intricate, and the powers behind it are significant.
Yuan Shanchuan was worried that Little Song Le might have picked it up from somewhere or someone gave it to him, which might cause trouble later.
If one were to get more conspiratorial, Yuan Shanchuan was even more worried that someone might target Shu Yu and then focus on Little Song Le.
Especially since Little Song Le seemed to cherish it so much, Yuan Shanchuan was even more concerned.
At that moment, Shu Yu felt as if lightning had struck her. She genuinely hadn’t thought of it until Fourth Uncle brought it up.
Now, as it suddenly came back to her, she indeed remembered seeing the bead on that steward of the black market’s hand, which was why it looked somewhat familiar.
Back then, she only had a brief encounter with that steward, and it was just a meeting. Later, that steward was punished for poor performance and then replaced by Steward Guo.
The ones Shu Yu met after that were all Steward Guo.
pared to Yuan Shanchuan, who had past grudges with the steward, she, who only met him once, naturally couldn’t recall it much.
