633: Provocation

Provocation

"She's the exact kind of girl that Chi Yang and I won't like! She's nothing compared to you!"0

Zhong Nuannuan, who was initially unhappy, instantly felt like someone brushed her standing hair into smooth locks.

On the verge of evolving from a kitty into a Tyrannosaur Rex, she returned to being gentle and loving.

"Yes, I know. Big Brother Chi Yang won't fall for someone like her."

Old Master Chi nodded. "That's right! She's not as fair, not as pretty, and not as smart as you. She's annoying when she talks; arrogant, despises the weak, has bad values, and utterly clueless on how to perform acupuncture. She doesn't have anything, yet she's so stingy that she won't give me the imperial jade!" Old Master Chi pursed his lips. "It's as if I really care about her imperial jade. Even if she gives me a kingdom, I won't like her. Little Girl Nuan, don't worry. You're the only one Chi Yang and I like!"

Zhong Nuannuan chuckled. "Grandpa, you flatter me."

"Hehehe, what flatter? Grandpa and Chi Yang aren't blind, y'know. Come, come, come, let's choose some stones together."

"Mmhmm." Zhong Nuannuan nodded and said, "I'll get you an imperial jade later!"

The old master burst into laughter.

Hearing this girl's words, he instantly knew she was an amateur.

Furthermore, she must be someone utterly unfamiliar in this.

Did she actually think that there would be imperial jade here?

In Jiang District, even if all the raw stones on the antique street got cut open, there would not be a single imperial jade!

However, he accepted the little girl's kind intentions.

Ling Pinyuan and her friend already walked past Zhong Nuannuan. As Zhong Nuannuan kept her emotions in check, Ling Pinyuan did not notice the flash of hostility in Zhong Nuannuan's eyes.

The old master stopped in front of a raw stone with an oily green jade inside. After observing it for a while, he finally confirmed it.

He already bent down to pick it up. Just as he was about to touch the raw stone, a pair of strong slender hands blocked him at the last moment. Then, while the elderly man was still in a daze, the same hand picked up the raw stone that caught his eye.

"This is the one. It's the only thing that I like after a gigantic round of browsing. From the looks of it, I think there's a 70% chance that it contains jade."

Ling Pinyuan did not feel sorry for snatching the stone that the old master liked. Instead, she ignored the old master completely and started to talk to the woman beside her.

"Miss Ling, my grandpa saw this stone first. Don't you think you've crossed the line to snatch it from someone else's hands?"

Everything about this woman triggered Zhong Nuannuan so much.

Annoying!

Zhong Nuannuan's voice was a little loud, so everyone looked over at once.

Ling Pinyuan frowned unhappily and said, "Miss, please don't slander others. Did you take a fancy to it first? I'm sorry, but there are rules in the stone gambling industry. Whoever takes a fancy to it first doesn't count, it only counts once it's in your hands. Just now, this old man stopped on this raw stone for a long time and didn't make a move, so I took it. How can you say that I snatched it? There are plenty of cabbages in the market. If you take a fancy to it and don't make a move, can you blame others for being quicker than you?"

There was nothing wrong with this logic. Although the oily green jade in the raw stone was not worth much, what else could she do? Zhong Nuannuan was blinded by her annoyance toward this woman who was about to launch her attack on Zhong Nuannuan's man and thought Zhong Nuannuan undeserving to be called her rival.

Zhong Nuannuan turned around and said to the old master, "Grandpa, that's just a useless stone. Since she insists that there's something good in it, let's just give it to her. We'll look at something else."
