1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 303 Water Moon Guanyin
Lu Youyou thought about it and agreed.

Five minutes later, the butler appeared at the door with a “small, insignificant gift”.

"Miss Lu, excuse me, may I come in?"

To be honest, this scene was completely unexpected for Lu Youyou.

There was a wooden crate taller than a person in the hallway. A man and a woman, wearing white gloves, stood next to the butler and looked like assistants.

Lu Youyou made way, and the group pushed a cart to bring the boxes in.

The butler waved his hand, and two assistants deftly opened one of the wooden boards.

Lu Youyou was truly shocked; it was actually it...

This is a large wooden seated Guanyin statue. When Lu Youyou saw it in the antique shop that afternoon, she could hardly take her eyes off it.

With willow-leaf eyebrows, slightly open eyes that seemed to contain endless compassion, large earlobes, full cheeks, and a smile at the corners of her mouth, she had a dignified and serene demeanor.

The nearly two-meter-tall Water Moon Guanyin statue stands quietly in a corner of the shop. Its complete preservation and large size are something Lu Youyou has only seen in the National Museum of China in her previous life.

Without detailed comparisons or carbon-14 dating, she couldn't be sure if it was the one in the National Museum of China. She was about to get closer to take a look when the armed robbers appeared.

She had planned to go again tomorrow, but now the thing she had been longing for was right in front of her.

Lu Youyou rarely finds herself speechless. She did want the Guanyin statue, but receiving the gift felt like a hot potato.

"Sir, how much is this statue? I'll buy it. As for the gift... saving lives was just a small favor, there's really no need to be so polite."

“Miss Lu, it’s just a small favor for you, but it’s a life-saving grace for Mr. Rockefeller. Giving you a small gift is already impolite, so please accept it.”

Lawrence insisted that the money be delivered to Lu Youyou, as he was determined not to accept it.

If the Guanyin statue hadn't been so conspicuous, Lawrence only remembered that Lu Youyou glanced in that direction a few more times, and perhaps she would have bought everything that caught her eye.

Money is really just a number.

Lu Youyou was also from a wealthy family in her previous life, so she knows very well that rich people are often just this willful.

They'll give you a house, a car, shares, a promising future, and even incredible luck. As long as you feel it's worth it, you don't care how much it costs.

Alright, then accept it. Compared to the life of the Rockefeller family's young master, a Guanyin statue is indeed too "insignificant".

The task was successfully completed, and the butler smiled more.

"Ms. Lu, we will repackage it and send it to your plane tomorrow. Is that alright with you?"

"OK thanks."

"You're welcome, this is what we should do."

The two assistants quickly put the wooden planks back in, and after pushing the car out, they carefully smoothed out the carpet.

The room quickly returned to silence, and the Water Moon Guanyin statue seemed to truly be a mirage.

This day was so "fulfilling," it felt like ten days' worth of events were crammed into one.

Lu Youyou never imagined she would personally experience robbing a bank with a gun. When the robbers appeared, she thought her good luck had finally run out. Fortunately, God still loved her, even to an absurd degree.

She was looking for a bargain, and a great bargain fell into her lap, even being delivered to her in a convenient way, saving her the trouble of "delivery".

The aroma of rose essential oil lulls people to sleep, and the bedding in top luxury hotels always delivers a high-quality sleep experience.

Lu Youyou thought it would be a night of dreams and nightmares, but she slept soundly until dawn.

With the groundwork laid the previous night, she wasn't surprised at all when she was put on the private jet the next morning. Professor Hopkins across from her also seemed to accept it well, apparently already aware of her assistant's privileged background.

Lu Youyou didn't ask, and the professor didn't say much either. It was just a young master from a wealthy family doing his studies incognito, nothing serious.

Upon arrival at San Francisco International Airport, the butler thoughtfully arranged a private car, but Lu Youyou had already contacted Zhao Xiang in advance.

Startled again, Comrade Zhao rushed over as if his pants were on fire and drove a large truck at Lu Youyou's request.

He had seen the news about the armed robbery in New York yesterday, but he never expected that Lu Youyou would actually be at the scene of the crime!

The moment he heard it, he felt as if he had been hit on the head. If Lu Youyou hadn't repeatedly assured him that she was alright, he would have almost bought a ticket and flown to New York overnight.

One scare wasn't enough, so she wanted a second one. Lu Youyou said she wanted to donate another baby, this time even bigger, so big that a truck would be needed to pick it up.

Zhao Xiang was practically asleep with one eye open when he arranged a car early in the morning and headed straight to the airport with the military attaché.

He waited anxiously at the exit, tiptoeing every five seconds, afraid of missing a single scare.

"Lu, over here!"

Finally, Lu Youyou arrived, and Zhao Xiang's hand moved so fast that it left afterimages.

After examining the person from head to toe, Zhao Xiang noticed that only the left hand was bandaged and there was no other visible problem, so he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Are you sure everything's alright? Have you checked everything?"

He already asked this question yesterday, but now that he's met the person, he can't help but ask it again.

"It's nothing, it's been checked."

Zhao Xiang still had a lot to say, such as whether he was scared or how he ended up encountering robbers.

Before he could speak, Lu Youyou pointed to the large box beside her: "Let's go back first, it's inconvenient to carry this."

Only then did Zhao Xiang have time to pay attention to the large wooden box that was more than two meters tall, and the two foreign friends behind Lu Youyou.

The man and woman were the same two who opened the package yesterday. They personally delivered the "delivery" to the car before saying goodbye and leaving.

Zhao Xiang waited until this moment before asking, "Student Lu, are these two from the Rockefeller family?"

"Ah."

Zhao Xiang felt that the amount of information was too much, or rather, since he met Lu Youyou, the amount of information he received had far exceeded the normal threshold.

What international student would know someone from the Rockefeller family, save their life, and receive a national treasure as a return gift!
Zhao Xiang couldn't imagine what a two-meter-tall wooden Guanyin statue would look like. When he returned to the embassy and opened the wooden box, he stood there dumbfounded.

"Oh my God!"

The same three-person team signing for the national treasure was still there. The top leader and the second leader remained relatively calm, but Zhao Xiang almost stumbled on the spot.

How could anyone give such a thing as a gift? How could someone accept a gift and then immediately donate it?

"Lu, is this a donation made free of charge?"

"Yes, still anonymous. By the way, can I specifically donate to the National Museum?"

Lu Youyou still wanted this treasure to be like the place she went in her past life.

"It should be possible. We will try our best to make this happen according to your request."

Where can you find such thoughtful and enlightened young people?!
The big boss looked at Lu Youyou with more affection than he would at a statue of Guanyin, and he was terrified just thinking about how close the danger had been yesterday.

"Lu, please be careful when you go out in the future. Try not to go to dangerous places. If you need to, contact Zhao Xiang directly and ask him to accompany you."
