Gu Qingyao did not know what to say.
Old Master Qin sat next to her and said earnestly, "It's true, what I say is all true. I am certainly not deceiving you. Let me tell you! About the necklace I gave you… I have many others! All about the same as the first.
"There's more! I have other jewelry and precious things, all as valuable as the necklace. What do you think? Aren't I something? I am very, very rich. As long as you can make Grandmother Qin better, I will give them all to you. All right?"
Gu Qingyao stared at him and did not say anything.
Old Master Qin was frantic. He used to be so cautious!
Now that he saw a glimmer of hope, he could not maintain his composure any longer. He flung aside all caution.
Old Master Qin looked at his old and shabby little house, and his clothes, that made him look like a beggar. When he said he was a tycoon…
He himself felt a little embarrassed.
