Chapter 9: A Christmas Gift Seventy Years Late

Zou Yijun auctioned this jade pendant at a super sky-high price of 100.2 million US dollars, his expression was quite complicated, he couldn't see whether he was happy or worried, and he left the scene immediately after the auction, and the auction items needed to wait for the successful bidder to pay the full amount before handing them over, if the parties could not pay the full amount, the deposit would be lost.

Many people doubt that Zou Yijun will do this, although this rich man from China is quite rich, but not wide enough to take out 700 million yuan to buy a jade pendant, and this jade pendant does not have room for speculation and appreciation like other cultural relics, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, it is just a gadget worn by politicians in the Republic of China, 100 million US dollars, can buy a pile of sheep fat white jade like a rockery.

Similarly, Liu Yanzhi's items have to be withdrawn after paying the full amount, he didn't wait for Hannibal, and he was not in a good mood, and soon left the venue, and when he left, he saw Chen Jiao still sitting in the back row, watching the staff on the stage remove the jade pendant in the glass box, reluctantly with sadness and sadness, as a child, she should keep her father's relics, but as a mother, she needs to be responsible for her son's debts, only her granddaughter can understand the mood of the old man, and sit quietly with her, Liu Handong, who was passing by, showed a grateful smile.

That night, the auction house was stolen, and the sky-high jade pendant was lost!

Sotheby's is the world's top auction house, the security measures are also first-class, but the auction items are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, the reserve price of the jade pendant is relatively low, so the level of security enjoyed is not so high, there is no special personnel for 24-hour guarding, just take some technical security, now the thing has not been handed over and lost, naturally the auction house is fully responsible, fortunately they bought insurance, the loss will eventually be passed on to the insurance company, Zou Yijun has not paid, naturally there is no loss, but he feels extremely unhappy, The storm thundered and threatened to sue the auction house.

……

On Long Island, New York, Chen Jiao's home is a two-story small wooden building, and the old lady doesn't like to live in a bustling place like Manhattan.

At night, Chen Jiao lies on the bed to read, reading before going to bed is her long-standing habit, she lies on the left side of the bed, the right side is reserved for her husband, Tan He's gentle smile is fixed in the photo frame on the bedside table, the musician has died of illness the year before last, eighty-year-old Chen Jiao lives alone in this house, accompanied by only a cat of the same age.

After reading a chapter, Chen Jiao was about to fall asleep, and suddenly found that something was wrong, the community where she lived was quite safe, there were no blacks and Mexicans, but she felt as if someone was peeping outside the window, so close, it was too late to call the police, Chen Jiao put her hand under the pillow and found a nickel-plated point 38 caliber revolver, Chen Zikun's family is good at using firearms, and she is no exception.

The old cat's fur exploded, jumped on the windowsill and jumped back.

"Who's there?" Chen Jiao shouted, there was no movement outside, she walked over with a gun, and found that the window was not closed, and a crack was leaking, so she closed the window tightly, turned around, and found that there was a jade pendant on the bedside table, and the stolen jade pendant actually came back.

Chen Jiao was shocked, she had lived for 80 years, and it was not that she had never experienced bizarre things, but it was a very young memory.

"Could it be that you have followed my father for so many years, have an aura, and come back by yourself?" Chen Jiao picked up the jade pendant and asked.

Yu Pei did not reply.

Chen Jiao sighed, and said, "It's not okay for you to fly back by yourself, people spent a lot of money to buy you, and you ran away, isn't this trapping me in injustice, you are a handsome jade pendant, you can't make a small character." ”

A voice rang out: "It's just a gift, don't think so much." ”

Chen Jiao was startled, picked up the gun again and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Santa Claus." The voice replied, "I didn't bring a gift last time, so I made up for it today." ”

Chen Jiao heard this, at first she was puzzled, and then trembled, it is not winter, it is early before Christmas, from childhood to adulthood, she receives a lot of gifts every Christmas, and no one has ever owed this, except for the Christmas in 1948......

"You...... You're the one who flew me on the roof of Sincere Department Store...... Traverser! Chen Jiao became excited, and after 70 years, the traverser reappeared, so that the devout Christian Chen Jiao had to believe that this was God's will and the reappearance of miracles.

Seeing that the other party remembered his origin, Liu Yanzhi appeared openly, he jumped in through the window and said, "I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting for seventy years." ”

"No, it's not too late at all." Chen Jiao recognized Liu Yanzhi, she had seen him at the auction, as for the person she saw when she was nine years old, his appearance had long been annihilated in the long river of memory, and all she could remember in her mind was the fragment of the bell tower flying with snowflakes.

"You're old." Liu Yanzhi said with emotion.

"People will always grow old." Chen Jiao was very calm, "Drink coffee, I'll make a pot, it seems that your appearance has not changed." ”

Liu Yan said straightly: "I'll accompany you." ”

Chen Jiao was wearing pajamas, holding a candlestick, there was an electric light in the house, holding a candlestick was just her hobby, and Liu Yanzhi went downstairs to make coffee in the kitchen, chatting by the way, the naΓ―ve little girl was now an eighty-year-old man, she would not ask you if you were Santa Claus, but made a request directly.

"You're free to planeswalk, aren't you, sir?"

"Yes."

"Then you must not be messing around, right, you are correcting history, if I guess correctly, my father is a key figure in history, which is why you visited my house on Christmas Eve seventy years ago."

Liu Yan nodded straightly.

"So, I want you to change the fate of my big brother and sister, can you?" Chen Jiao said, "Fate shouldn't treat them like this." ”

Liu Yan thought about it and felt a little embarrassed, his porridge was not cold yet, how could he have time to take care of the children of the old Chen family, but it was unkind to refuse it, so he said vaguely: "I'll fight for it, but even if I change their fate, I'm afraid I won't be able to live now, and you won't be able to see them when you wake up tomorrow." ”

Chen Jiao said: "That's not important. ”

"What's important?"

"It's important to me that they have less suffering."

After the coffee was brewed, Chen Jiao poured Liu Yanzhi a cup, and the two sat down and chatted for a while, Chen Jiao said: "The person I want to bid for 100 million US dollars must value that jade pendant more than me." ”

This is a euphemism, Chen Jiao is a decent person, she has already made a choice, selling these things, it is one thing for someone to buy them back and give them to herself, and it is another thing to steal them back, she will not accept stolen goods, but she will not force Liu Yanzhi to do anything.

"Okay, I'll go back." Liu Yan said straightly, "Then the Christmas gift is gone." ”

Chen Jiao said: "Actually, I prefer the gift substitute last time, take me to fly." ”

Liu Yan said straightly: "If you like it, fly again." ”

Under the moonlit night, in the sky of Long Island, there are two people flying.
