Back to the 80s: Raising my Wolfy Boyfriend

Chapter 861: Chapter 861: Jin Feels Empathy

An Mingji held her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze, "I know, the Darwin Family has plenty of jade mines, and even though they have mined Emperor Green Jade over the years, they have never found something as significant as the Royal Emperor Green owned by Aunt. It shows how rare it truly is."

"What should we do now?" Gu Jin’s delicate brows furrowed slightly.

An Mingji pressed his lips together and then spoke, "First, let’s make some calls to see if anyone in Beijing has ever collected Royal Emperor Green Jade; we might be able to purchase it at a high price."

Even if the hope is thin, at this point, we need to search.

Gu Jin nodded, "I’ll first call and ask the Wanqi Family."

Considering the jade’s inestimable value, Gu Jin thought it best to first fish for information with the Wanqi Family.

In Beijing, the likelihood is slim for the pillar families to possess Royal Emperor Green Jade; it’s more likely if one of the Four Great Families has it.

An Mingji: "Okay, ask first. If anyone has it, price is not an issue."

Gu Jin took out her phone and directly called the Wanqi Family Head’s mobile.

"Young Master Nine?" The other party answered the call.

Gu Jin didn’t mince words and asked if he knew which family might have Royal Emperor Green Jade, specifying that no matter the color or texture, it had to be top-notch and about the size of two fists.

This inquiry to the Wanqi Family Head was indeed well-placed.

The other party thought for a moment and told Gu Jin, "I remember the Mu Family having a piece of Emperor Green Jade, but I’m unclear about the size; I just know the former Mu Family Head, who has passed away, treasured it."

Gu Jin: "Could you please probe the Mu Family to see if we can take a look at their jade?"

She didn’t directly say they wanted to purchase, merely asking to view it.

If the Mu Family’s Emperor Green Jade is truly comparable to what An Feng once owned, then they would consider buying it.

"I’ll contact the Mu Family and ask, I’ll call Young Master Nine back shortly."

"Alright."

Gu Jin hung up the phone, lost in thought.

An Feng is nearing the end; her body has reached its limit, and no matter how many rare treasures she consumes, they cannot preserve her life.

This is fate’s decree, an irreversible truth.

Before leaving, she remembered the Royal Emperor Green Jade that her husband gifted her during his lifetime, showing her lingering thoughts of him; the jade’s damage was a regret that weighed on her heart.

At this moment, Gu Jin surprisingly felt somewhat empathetic.

Sensing Gu Jin’s low mood, An Mingji squeezed her hand, "Don’t be too burdened, Royal Emperor Green Jade is exceedingly rare worldwide; even if we can’t find it, Aunt won’t blame us."

"I understand."

Gu Jin smiled faintly, dispelling the heaviness in her heart.

Their route home remained unchanged.

Upon returning to the Left Bank Pavilion, An Mingji and Gu Jin didn’t go home directly; they went to see An Feng.

When the butler opened the door and saw them, he seemed to have spotted a savior.

"Young Master, Miss Gu, you’re finally here! Madam isn’t doing well today, please come in quickly to see her."

Hearing this, An Mingji’s face turned grave, and he rushed into the room first.

An Feng’s body is now exceedingly frail, unable even to sit in a wheelchair, eternally confined to her bedroom bed.

He pushed open the door, and the sounds within the bedroom filtered into his ears.

"Kasi, Andel, go find the piece of Emperor Green Jade that Jerry gave me. I remember when Jerry obtained it, he joyfully presented it to me like a child.

I’m about to leave, and I want to take it with me; otherwise, when I see Jerry and he doesn’t see the jade, he might think I don’t cherish it—"
