Chapter 67
Celine was carrying the big bag Red had given her and was just about to come downstairs when a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
It was her fourth brother, Mateo.
He had just absorbed a crystal core, and he looked full of energy.
Seeing Celine struggling with the heavy bag, he didn't even hesitate. He teleported to her side and took it from her hands.
"What's this?" he asked.
Celine shook her head.
"Red brought it. He said it's jewelry."
The two of them walked into the living room and placed the bag on the coffee table.
Celine opened the bag. Right on top were several elegant jewelry boxes.
She casually picked one up. It was surprisingly heavy, and only then did she realize why the whole bag felt so heavy.
One of the boxes looked especially fancy. She picked it up and gently opened it. Inside was a jade bracelet, completely green and translucent.
Celine wasn't familiar with jade, so she immediately handed it to Shenan beside her.
Seeing how casually Celine moved, Shenan quickly warned her, "Be careful! That's an imperial green jade bracelet made from old mine glass-type jade!"
When she heard the words "imperial green," Celine's heartbeat sped up.
She had heard of that name before. She always knew it was valuable, but this was her first time seeing one in real life.
"What do we do with it?" she asked instinctively.
Shenan shook his head.
"To be honest, I don't really know where we could sell it."
"This kind of thing is worth at least tens of millions. For jade of this level, you can't just take it to any regular gold shop."
"Think about it. If you want to go through proper channels, like big pawn shops or international jewelry recovery centers, they all need official appraisal certificates."
"But to get it appraised, they're going to ask where it came from. Purchase records, receipts—we don't have any of that."
Shenan frowned slightly, his tone filled with clear frustration.
It really was a dead end.
Jewelry of unknown origin, especially top-quality pieces, is like a hot potato. No one dares to touch it.
With things said this clearly, the road ahead seemed completely blocked.
Celine quickly made up her mind.
"If that's the case, just leave it for now."
She carefully placed the Imperial Green jade bracelet back into the beautiful box, closed the lid, and waved her hand. The box disappeared. She had already returned it to her storage space.
Then she opened the other boxes.
As expected, there were a few more jade accessories inside. Their color and clarity weren't as amazing as the Imperial Green one, but judging from the jade quality and the carving, they were clearly high-grade items.
Celine didn't hesitate. Any pieces involving high-end jade that would be hard to sell quickly, she stored them all in her space.
These things would be useful someday. She could trade them for what she needed when the time came.
After clearing out the jade boxes, she looked at the dozen or so pairs of heavy pure gold dragon-phoenix bangles.
Each pair felt solid and heavy in her hands, each weighing more than a hundred grams.
The bangles were carved with dragons and phoenixes, made with great skill. Not only were they made of pure gold, but they also had small jade stones and red and blue gems inlaid into them. Under the light, they sparkled and looked extremely luxurious.
Looking at the bangles, Celine quietly made a plan in her heart.
Gold was always valuable. It would be easier to sell than jade.
She planned to sell half of them first to get some urgent cash.
As for the other half
She had the same thoughts as her mother, Mother Zhou. She had several older brothers at home. One day they would get married and start families.
When that time came, using these dragon-phoenix bangles as part of the wedding gifts would be very impressive.
It would be safest to let Mother Zhou keep them.
Of course, this was just a small plan she kept to herself. There was no need to say it out loud right now.
At the moment, something else was more important.
It was still about her oldest brother's leg.
