Chapter 138: Her Red Coral!
Chapter 138: Her Red Coral!
Upon hearing Wen Wan's words, Zhou Guohua said, "Let's hurry and find it before they do."
Wen Wan agreed, absolutely determined not to let Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia find it first!
"Let's hurry and find it!" Wen Wan urged, lowering her head to continue searching.
Zhou Guohua glanced at the vast beach and felt that searching aimlessly wasn't a feasible plan.
It couldn't be that they had to sift through every grain of sand on the entire beach, could it?
Wen Wan replied, "In my dream, I saw Zhou Chenglei picking up coral on this beach."
A few days ago, Wen Wan had told Zhou Guohua about her dreams that sometimes foretold the future and helped her avoid disasters. She had informed them that the typhoon would arrive at 4:00 pm that afternoon, and they must return before 3:00 pm.
And indeed, at 4:00 pm that day, the typhoon arrived as predicted, with massive waves. Wen Wan's dream was even more accurate than the weather forecast. Zhou Bingqiang believed it!
Only then did he allow his son to continue dating Wen Wan.
If her dreams could foretell the future and bring good fortune, wasn't that a sign of being a husband-boosting wife?
Zhou Bingqiang's family now treated Wen Wan very well. When Wen Wan expressed her desire to come to this island to search for something, they immediately provided a boat for Zhou Guohua to accompany her.
Zhou Guohua responded, "Since you dreamed that Zhou Chenglei picked up the coral, we just need to keep an eye on him. We can simply follow his lead and grab it first. Why bother searching so hard?"
Follow his every move? Wen Wan suddenly understood, and she smiled at Zhou Guohua.
Feeling embarrassed under her gaze, Zhou Guohua, fearing that Wen Wan might think him shameless, added, "We can also search on our own. I'm here with you."
Wen Wan, with her keen eyes, said, "No, you're right! We'll follow his lead. Whatever he does, we'll do the same!"
"Let's go, let's get closer to them." Wen Wan was slightly excited.
When one blockage is cleared, all blockages are cleared!
Jiang Xia, after her rebirth, knew that Zhou Chenglei would become the tycoon, so she didn't want a divorce, aiming to be the tycoon's wife. But sorry, she also experienced rebirth, and she has the ability to foresee the future. She can dream about all of Zhou Chenglei's opportunities and knows the path to his success in his previous life!
Therefore, although she couldn't marry Zhou Chenglei, the future tycoon, she could seize the opportunity and become the tycoon herself! She would prevent Zhou Chenglei from becoming the tycoon and Jiang Xia from becoming the tycoon's wife.
However, she lacked a boat and capital, but Zhou Guohua had more than Zhou Chenglei!
She could partner with Zhou Guohua.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Zhou Chenglei took off his rain boots and rolled up his pants before jumping off the boat.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, a splash of water rose, and the rippling seawater washed away the loose sand beneath his feet. Then, he noticed a hint of red hidden in the sand by his feet.
With just a glance, he averted his gaze.
Zhou Chenglei saw Wen Wan and Zhou Guohua approaching. He lightly stepped on the spot with one foot and extended both hands towards Jiang Xia on the boat, saying, "Come."
Jiang Xia leaped from the boat into his embrace.
Zhou Chenglei caught her steadily and held her tightly, remaining unmoved even as he balanced on one foot.
After catching Jiang Xia, Zhou Chenglei didn't carry her towards the beach as he had done before. Instead, he supported her with one hand while using the other to remove her rain boots and toss them onto the beach, saying, "Roll up your pants, and I'll put you down."
"Oh," Jiang Xia replied.
She could feel that Zhou Chenglei was standing on one foot and guessed that his other foot was probably stepping on something.
She quickly lifted her feet in his embrace and rolled up her pants.
Zhou Chenglei held Jiang Xia in his arms as she rolled up both pant legs.
Wen Wan rolled her eyes in disgust. Not only was Wen Wan rolling her eyes, but even the people on the boat found this couple's display a bit much.
Why couldn't Zhou Chenglei just carry Jiang Xia directly to the beach? Even Tea Caihua couldn't bear to watch.
Only Zhou Fu was grinning, wondering if this new affectionate move of theirs concealed some hidden treasure.
Zhou Chenglei waited until Jiang Xia had rolled up both pant legs before setting her down.
Then, he bent down, moved his feet aside, and reached into the water, stirring the sand beneath.
Wen Wan spotted a crimson tentacle hidden in the sand, shimmering vividly through the rippling seawater.
Her red coral!
She rushed over, "Brother Zhou, that's mine! I've been searching for it here for days!"
Jiang Xia quickly bent down and grabbed the red coral, then turned to Wen Wan, "What are you blabbering about? Get lost and stop grossing me out!"
Wen Wan: "..."
Ah!
She was so infuriated she could explode.
"Don't be unreasonable. You saw me searching everywhere here for days!"
Jiang Xia: "The logic is simple—whoever finds it first gets to keep it. If you don't like it, go report it to the police. Get lost and stop bothering me!"
Wen Wan: "..."
She turned to look at Zhou Guohua.
Zhou Guohua didn't know what to say either.
Jiang Xia was stating a fact—finders, keepers.
If it were just Jiang Xia, she could have tried to grab it, but with so many people around, it was impossible.
It seemed Zhou Chenglei had incredible luck. They had searched the spot where they had just disembarked from the boat, but found nothing. Yet, the moment Zhou Chenglei jumped down, he stumbled upon it!
Zhou Chenglei asked the people on the boat, "Hand me two small shovels."
"Coming right up!" Zhou Fu responded and hurried off to find the shovels.
Prosperity God indeed, he found treasure as soon as he stepped off the boat.
Tea Caihua, still on the boat, unaware of what Jiang Xia had snatched from Wen Wan, asked, "Xia Xia, what did you find? A big conch?"
Zhou Chenglei: "Red coral."
Tea Caihua: "..."
Red coral?
If it's of good quality, it's incredibly valuable.
What incredible luck Jiang Xia had!
Zhou Chengsen raised an eyebrow, "Quite the luck. How's the quality?"
Zhou Chenglei: "Unknown."
Tea Caihua couldn't bear to stay on the boat any longer and jumped straight into the water, creating a splash.
The others followed suit, jumping into the water one after another.
As they jumped, Zhou Chenglei quickly shielded Jiang Xia with his body to prevent her clothes from getting wet from the splashes.
Zhou Fu handed Zhou Chenglei two small iron shovels with a grin, "Here you go! Be careful while digging! That thing is worth a fortune if it's in good condition. Forget it, let me do the digging!"
Zhou Chenglei took the shovels and, noticing Jiang Xia's skirt getting wet, quickly pulled her up, "Don't get your clothes wet. I'll do the digging."
Jiang Xia straightened her body, letting him take over.
The coral was buried quite deep, and being underwater made it challenging to dig out.
Zhou Fu also jumped into the water and joined Zhou Chenglei in digging.
The waves made it difficult to dig, as the sand kept getting washed back into the hole by the seawater.
Their clothes were instantly soaked!
Wen Wan watched as the family gathered around, digging up the coral she had been searching for days.
She was fuming with anger!
In her heart, she silently prayed that they would only dig up a small piece, just as she had.
But after digging for so long without success, could it really be just a small piece?
