Chapter 1057: Want the Family Compass
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
From the direction of the camera, only half of the family compass could be seen. The other half was blocked by Jian Yiling’s arm and the other pieces inside the suitcase.
However, Lucy still recognized it.
Her eyes burned and she could not resist getting closer to the screen to see it more clearly.
“Impossible… Impossible… How could that thing be here?”
Lucy’s eyes were wide open and her whole face was filled with the word ‘shock’.
That compass had their family crest engraved on it. It was the item that recorded their secrets that were handed down through the generations.
The compass that she had been looking for was in the hands of Jian Yiling!
“I need to calm down… I need to calm down…”
Lucy repeated as she muttered to herself. She told herself to calm down and not to mess up.
“Why did our family compass fall into the hands of Jian Yiling? Is this a coincidence or is there some connection?” Lucy muttered to herself. “Surely there isn’t a connection. There can’t be a connection between Jian Yiling and the Goodman family… It must be a coincidence… Our family compass was probably sold as a piece of ordinary jewelry and it just so happened to be bought by Jian Yiling.”
“Furthermore, Jian Yiling doesn’t seem to know what that thing is. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have thrown it into her suitcase with the other pieces of ordinary jewelry. I need to find a way to get the compass out of her hands as soon as possible whilst the rest of the Goodman family still do not know about this news.”
However, she had to act quickly. If someone else from the Goodman family discovered this, it would be too late for her.
She knew very well that she could not compete against the other members of the Goodman family.
As she thought about this, Lucy could not wait to contact Jian Yiling. She intended to buy the compass from Jian Yiling at a high price.
To the Goodman family, the compass had a special existence. However, to Jian Yiling, this compass was merely an antique.
As long as she put out an attractive price, Jian Yiling had no reason to not sell it to her.
However, Lucy did not have Jian Yiling’s contact details. She didn’t even have Zhai Yunsheng’s contact details. She only had Zhai Yunsheng’s assistant’s contact information.
And thus, she called Zhai Yunsheng’s assistant and asked him to schedule a meeting for her. However, Zhai Yunsheng’s assistant told her that he did not want to meet her.
This attitude made it evident that Zhai Yunsheng did not want to even give Lucy an opportunity to meet him.
Upon hearing this, Lucy felt hurt. However, she merely responded: “I want to talk to Jian Yiling about a business deal. I’m serious about this. There are no other intentions.”
For the family compass, Lucy was willing to be nice.
“I will pass the message on to Master Sheng. I will contact you if Master Sheng is interested,” the assistant responded. He was very cold and had a business-like attitude.
“Alright, I will wait for the good news.”
After hanging up the call, Lucy was still worried.
Jian Yiling had been live streaming. There was no telling when the rest of the Goodman family would find out about this.
She couldn’t wait for long. If she didn’t get a response by tonight, she would go and wait in front of Jian Yiling’s apartment.
Lucy turned her attention back to the stream. Her eyes were fixated on the compass that appeared on her screen.
When she saw the compass being shown to countless viewers, her heart beat rapidly and she was incredibly nervous.
Finally, Jian Yiling picked out her gift. It was a hairpin that was inlaid with sapphires.
After Jian Yiling gave the gift to Luo Xiuen, she closed the suitcase again.
Lucy let out a sigh of relief when she saw this.
