Chapter 502: Chapter 502: Extinct for Decades Now Chapter 502: Chapter 502: Extinct for Decades Now There are indeed several very precious flowers and plants there.

Like the small garden behind, they are all Shen Manru’s darlings.

Gu Qiaoqiao wasn’t interested in these, so she didn’t pay much attention.

However, dividing one for Qin Yize’s mother, was also within reason.

After all, without Qin Yize, where would she have found the Ice Orchid?

She might not even have seen a leaf.

So, the next morning, Gu Qiaoqiao returned to the Qin Family Courtyard.

Today just happened to be Sunday.

Shen Manru and Qin Xuan were sitting on the sofa talking.

Meanwhile, Grandma Qin had taken Xiao Yu out for a walk.

Gu Qiaoqiao pushed open the gate and walked in.

When Shen Manru saw it was Gu Qiaoqiao coming back, her eyes brightened, “Qiaoqiao is back.”

Then, looking behind her, she asked, “Didn’t Ah Ze come back with you?”

“He will be back a week later,” explained Gu Qiaoqiao in a gentle voice.

Shen Manru asked with some concern, “How’s the situation at the Jade Mine?”

“It’s fine now, everything has been resolved.”

Qin Xuan set down the newspaper and nodded, “As long as no one was hurt, that’s good.”

While speaking, Gu Qiaoqiao opened the bag she brought back.

Inside was the basket Qin Yize had woven.

Then she took out an orchid from inside.

Shen Manru’s eyes widened in surprise; she hadn’t expected to see such a superior Orchid.

Such Orchids had been extinct for decades.

Previously, her grandfather had grown them, but later, for various reasons, that particular Orchid had either died or gone somewhere else.

Anyway, it was never seen again in her grandfather’s house.

At that time, her grandfather had said that one pot of orchid grass could be worth three gold bars.

But judging by the quality, her grandfather’s orchid grass was not as good as this one.

Even a layman could tell at a glance which pot of Orchids was more precious.

“This is an Ice Orchid,” Shen Manru murmured.

“Mmm, Great Grandfather and Great Grandma said it’s a superior Ice Orchid.”

“Where did you get it from?”

“Ah Ze and I found it in a deep valley underground in Diannan. There were many of them; Ah Ze wouldn’t let me dig them all up, so we brought back two plants.”

Qin Xuan glanced at the orchid and asked Shen Manru beside him, “This orchid is the Ice Orchid?”

Shen Manru nodded, “Yes, it’s the Ice Orchid, and it’s of the finest kind; you can’t see such a species on the market anymore, and if you do, it’s at a sky-high price now.”

Gu Qiaoqiao looked at the orchid in her hand with surprise.

Well, there really are quite a few people who know their stuff.

And is this Orchid’s market value really high now?

“So, is the price of this Ice Orchid very high now?”

Shen Manru nodded, “Of course, it’s very high now; it’s already been bid up to over a hundred thousand since an Orchid of this quality hasn’t appeared for decades.”

Gu Qiaoqiao hadn’t expected such a fruitful trip.

However, she wasn’t likely to sell the Orchid for money.

Gu Qiaoqiao placed the orchid grass in front of Shen Manru and stood up saying, “You should plant this Orchid first; I still need to make a trip to Yubao Square.”

Shen Manru looked at the Orchid and joyfully accepted it.

After all, it was a thoughtful gesture from Ah Ze and Qiaoqiao.

And she really liked it too.

Gu Qiaoqiao got in the car and left the Qin Family Old Residence, heading in the direction of Yubao Square.

Meanwhile, Shen Manru carefully tended to the orchid grass, sighing internally.

She felt that Gu Qiaoqiao was getting busier by the day.

Her son was the same.
