Qin Bing’s current display of intelligence surprised Ye Fei!
Damn it!
When he first saw this young girl yesterday, Ye Fei felt she was just a naive and sweet girl!
But now, Ye Fei discovered she wasn’t as simple as he thought!
“What about the third condition?”
Ye Fei nodded, then asked about the third condition!
“The third condition, I’ve told you, brother-in-law, before. Sister was forced by the family to go to Jiangdong out of necessity!”
“On the surface, she went to help the main family develop. In reality, we all know she’s just paying for Grandpa’s past mistakes!”
“Once, we were the most glorious branch among the thirteen prestigious branches of the Jiangdong Qin family! But now, we live like rats in the street!”
“My third condition is that I hope brother-in-law can help us return to the Jiangdong Qin family!”
As Qin Bing finished speaking, she gazed at Ye Fei with fervent eyes, not blinking.
“And you want me to help your Qin family return to the Jiangdong Qin family?”
Ye Fei frowned slightly; this was something he hadn’t anticipated!
Damn it, I came here to break off the engagement, how did I get involved in the Qin family’s internal strife?
“Brother-in-law, the reason I’m asking you to help me so much is simply because I want to do something for the family!”
“Before, Grandpa and the others handled all the family matters. I couldn’t help with anything. Although they never said anything, I’m not stupid. Seeing them worry themselves sick over family matters, how could my heart not ache…”
After stating her three conditions, Qin Bing grabbed Ye Fei’s hand again and tried to appeal to his emotions!
Plop! Plop!
As she spoke, Qin Bing’s eyes reddened again, and crystal tears began to fall.
“Stop, stop, stop! Bingbing, don’t cry, don’t cry. I promise… but we need to agree beforehand. After I help you with these three favors, you must give me the Yin Jade! From now on, the Qin family and I will be square.”
Ye Fei’s head started to ache as soon as he saw Qin Bing playing the victim again.
“Deal! I knew brother-in-law was the best to me!”
In an instant, Qin Bing stopped crying and beamed at Ye Fei with a smile.
“…”
Ye Fei felt speechless when he saw her happy and excited expression!
Damn it, why did Ye Fei suddenly feel like he had been tricked?
Alas!
Forget it! Whether I’ve been tricked or not, the matter is settled, and it’s too late to go back on it.
“Let’s go get the broken Purple Crystal Jade Pendant from your grandfather. I need to take a look at it.”
“At the same time, you need to find me a piece of jade stone with the same material as the Purple Crystal Jade Pendant, as well as carving tools and other equipment.”
Since the matter had been settled, Ye Fei didn’t waste any more time with Qin Bing.
After all, Grandpa Qin had said last night that the banquet for the wealthy families of Xiling City was tonight!
There wasn’t much time left for them, they needed to hurry!
“Grandpa! There’s a way, there’s a way! Brother-in-law says he has a way to help our Qin family overcome this difficulty!”
A few minutes later, Qin Bing brought Ye Fei to the old man’s room!
As soon as they entered, Qin Bing immediately shouted loudly!
“What, little Fei, my good grandson-in-law, you have a way? What way? Quickly, quickly tell us.”
Inside the room, almost all the Qin family elders and high-ranking officials were discussing solutions.
Although they knew that someone was secretly targeting their Qin family, they were helpless.
However, after discussing it from last night until now, they still hadn't come up with a way for the Qin family to overcome the difficulty!
Therefore, when they all heard Qin Bing’s cry, their expressions became excited.
“Damn it! You old scoundrel, who is your grandson-in-law! Don’t just shout like that, we’re not that familiar!”
Ye Fei was fine until Grandpa Qin spoke. As soon as Grandpa Qin spoke, he immediately became unhappy.
Then, Ye Fei glanced at the Qin family members, noticing that they all had dark circles under their eyes. Seeing that they hadn’t slept all night, he didn’t say much more and got straight to the point, “My method is very simple: to carve a fake that looks like the real thing.”
“What, carve a fake that looks like the real thing?”
It was better if Ye Fei hadn’t said it this way. As soon as he did, Grandpa Qin’s eyes widened immediately, and he exclaimed!
The other members of the Qin family also turned their heads in unison to look at Ye Fei.
At this moment, the Qin family members looked at Ye Fei as if he were an idiot!
“Little Fei, do you have a fever? This Purple Crystal Jade Pendant is an artifact from the Qin Dynasty. For such an ancient jade artifact, let alone in this Xiling City, who in the entire Huaxia country dares to say they can carve an identical fake?”
Grandpa Qin had initially thought Ye Fei had come up with a good idea, but after hearing Ye Fei’s so-called method, he sighed with disappointment.
“Just because others don’t have this ability doesn’t mean I don’t! Forget it, forget it… I won’t waste my breath with you. If I carve an identical one later, you won’t say that.”
Ye Fei originally wanted to explain to Grandpa Qin, but seeing his expression, he swallowed the words that were about to be spoken.
Why bother explaining to these frogs in a well!
Ye Fei estimated that even if he wore his lips out, they wouldn’t believe him!
“Grandpa! Grandpa! We don’t have any other good solutions right now, let’s just trust brother-in-law this once.”
At this moment, Qin Bing quickly spoke up.
“Forget it, forget it. It’s like this anyway. Do whatever you want. Sigh!”
Grandpa Qin glanced at Ye Fei, clearly not taking him seriously, and sighed, ignoring him.
Seeing this, Ye Fei didn’t delay any further. He immediately asked Qin Bing to pick up the Purple Crystal Jade Pendant, which was broken into several pieces, and leave!
Half an hour later, Qin Bing had prepared everything Ye Fei needed.
Then, they went to Qin Bing’s bedroom.
“Brother-in-law! Won’t you take a closer look? If you don’t look carefully, even if it looks similar when carved, it won’t even resemble the shape…”
Qin Bing saw Ye Fei only glance at it casually and immediately picked up the carving knife, preparing to carve the Purple Crystal Jade Pendant, and said nervously.
“Damn it! I say, Bingbing, what are you talking about? Your brother-in-law… ah, no, Brother, am I that bad?”
Ye Fei glared at Qin Bing, who lacked confidence in him, and immediately complained!
“No, no, I’m afraid you won’t remember…”
“…”
Ye Fei was speechless. What’s the difference between not remembering and lacking confidence?
Then, Ye Fei stopped talking nonsense with Qin Bing and directly picked up the purple crystal jade, starting to carve!
When Ye Fei first picked up the purple crystal jade to carve, Qin Bing was still filled with nervousness and apprehension!
After all, carving was no joke. If a mistake was made with a single cut, the jade would essentially be ruined.
Moreover, Qin Bing also discovered that the carving technique of the Purple Crystal Jade Pendant was carved using both intaglio and relievo techniques!
Relievo was easy, but intaglio was ten times more difficult than relievo!
The combination of intaglio and relievo, where each was within the other, made it ten times more difficult!
This meant that compared to the hundredfold difficulty of ordinary relievo, Qin Bing couldn’t even imagine!
Another point was the hardness of the purple crystal jade itself!
Purple crystal jade ranked among the top three in hardness among all jade stones!
Furthermore, besides its great hardness, the most crucial point was that it was extremely brittle!
Meaning, if one wasn’t careful and damaged the texture of the jade, it would crack!
These two situations demanded an extremely abnormal level of skill and control of force for the carving!
Chilala! Chilala!
Ye Fei got to work. He didn’t have many worries, nor was he nervous!
Because in his opinion, carving this purple crystal jade was very simple and easy!
