Chapter 180: Name a Price

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After Lu Qianling managed to secure more pocket money, she spent her money generously. She went to buy a neck massager and personally tested its effectiveness- which was satisfactory. It was simple to operate and easy to get used to, so she bought it directly.

“This massager is very comfortable to use. Grandma will definitely like it.” Lu Qianling rubbed her small hands together. She was already looking forward to Grandma’s happy look when she received the gift.

Seeing that she had chosen a suitable gift, Meng Chuyuan was full of admiration. “You’re quite sensible.”

She thought about how Lu Qianling had to find people to help her get discounts when buying the steam blindfold a while ago. However, when it came to buying things for her elders, she could really do it without blinking.

“Of course. She’s my biological grandmother.”

Perhaps it was because they were separated by generations, every time Lu Qianling and the others went back to visit Grandma, they would always be able to enjoy the treatment of an emperor. There were all kinds of delicious food and fun things there. When they left Grandma’s place, they would even come back carrying countless Items.

Now that they were busy with their studies and careers, they could only eat at home obediently during the holidays.

Lu Qianling raised her head and looked at her curiously. “Is there anything you want to buy?”

Meng Chuyuan looked around and did not seem to see anything of interest.

“Let’s look around some more,” she said.

After she accompanied Lu Qianling to buy the massager, she wandered around the vicinity. The things that were sold here were basically not suitable for the elderly. Even if she bought them back, they would not be of use.

Lu Qianling felt that they had reached the end of the street. She slowly stopped and had a flash of inspiration. She turned to Meng Chuyuan and said, “There’s another floor downstairs. Do you want to take a look? I think you’ll definitely like it, it’s a rich lady’s dream world.”

Meng Chuyuan was a little surprised. “A rich lady’s dream world?”

“That’s right. Anyway, it’s a place I can’t afford to shop at. But I think you’ll like

it. ”

Coincidentally, there were many dazzling shops downstairs. There were gold jewelry, jade bracelets, and all kinds of things. Accompanied with the transparent glass windows and cold white lights, it was extremely dazzling.

The people passing by could not ignore the light emitted by the gold. When Meng Chuyuan came down, she went in to take a look.

She entered an emerald jade shop and looked at the various bracelets and pendants placed on the counter. The quality seemed to be not bad.

This was Lu Qianling’s first time following Meng Chuyuan around this kind of shop. Her eyes were filled with envy. She caught a glimpse of a jade rabbit with exquisite workmanship. She carefully stretched out her finger and touched the little rabbit’s head.

“This is a true jade rabbit!” Lu Qianling could not help but exclaim.

A rabbit carved from beautiful jade.

Seeing Lu Qianling staring at the little jade rabbit like a tiger eyeing its prey, the boss reminded her from the side, “That’s my treasure, it’s not for sale.”

At first, Meng Chuyuan didn’t pay much attention to the rabbit, but after hearing the boss’s words, she suddenly became interested in the “jade rabbit”. Meng Chuyuan leaned closer to take a look. The rabbit was carved vividly. The jade had been polished and its surface was delicate and smooth.

“This must be natural Hetian jade.”

When the boss heard Meng Chuyuan’s precise answer, his jaw almost dropped. “Beauty, you know your stuff. You can tell at a glance.

He did not expect such a young woman to have a pair of discerning eyes that could even recognize Hetian jade.

Meng Chuyuan looked at the good workmanship, and in her eyes hid a glint of satisfaction. She said calmly, “Such a big piece of Hetian jade is quite rare, it’s also rare on the market.”

The boss smiled happily and even felt a little proud. “That’s why it has become my shop’s treasure.”

Then, before the boss could retract his smile, he heard Meng Chuyuan say, “Name your price. I’ll buy it.”

Meng Chuyuan sincerely felt that this piece of jade was not bad, and the carving was very meticulous. It was suitable as a gift for Grandma Lu to place at home.

The boss shook his head and refused to let the rabbit go. “This is my treasure. I won’t sell it no matter what.”

“I don’t understand the market for jade anyway. Name any price you want. I’m serious.”

Lu Qianling looked like she was enjoying the show and said quietly from the side, “Boss, she’s not lacking in wealth. She can easily buy out your shop.”

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Qianling wanted to see how much money Meng Chuyuan could fork out to buy this rabbit.

As Lu Qingye’s woman, money was the last thing she lacked.

Originally, the boss was insistent and did not want to sell the treasure of the shop. However, when he saw the expensive big diamond ring on Meng

Chuyuan’s hand, he actually wavered a little.

Business had not been easy the past two years. Moreover, opening a shop here required tens of thousands of yuan in rent. Everything in life required money. If he could sell the jade for a satisfactory price, it could also alleviate his urgent needs.

The boss hesitated for a long time before asking tentatively, “I can name any price I want?”

“Sure.”

“Seven million, then.”

When Lu Qianling heard this, she immediately lost her cool. She stood up and retorted to the boss, “Are you trying to commit daylight robbery? This thing costs seven million?”

The rabbit was slightly bigger than an adult’s fist. It should be about a kilogram. Meng Chuyuan felt that the price was quite reasonable.

Just as the boss was about to flow into a rage out of humiliation and tell the two of them that he was not selling it, he suddenly heard a cold and calm voice.

“I’ll take it for seven million.”

In the end, Meng Chuyuan also bought a pair of jade bracelets to bring back with the little jade rabbit.

“Seven million yuan? You bought it just like that? At least bargain with him.

Maybe it’ll be cheaper.”

On the way back, Lu Qianling held the little rabbit that she had bought with both hands. When she thought about how this thing cost seven million, her heart seemed to be bleeding.

Lu Qianling chattered on and on. “If it were me, I would just turn around and leave. Why did you have to buy such a lousy stone for seven million yuan?

“In my eyes, it’s no different from a stone. It’s just a little prettier than an ordinary stone…” Lu Qianling suddenly looked at Meng Chuyuan and could not help but scold her. “You’re really a prodigal. If this continues, my brother will really become your free laborer.”

She drove seriously and said half-jokingly, “Your brother only knows how to earn money and not spend it. I’m just balancing it out for him.”

Meng Chuyuan only agreed because she felt that this piece of jade was worth that much. Otherwise, she would not have agreed so readily.

An hour later, the two of them returned to the Lu residence. When they entered, they saw Lu Jinsen and his grandmother chatting in the living room. “Grandma.” Lu Qianling ran over and gave her grandma a hug.

Grandma Lu patted her back with a smile and said dotingly, “Alright, alright. You’re suffocating me.”

It was only when Lu Qianling regained her senses that she slowly let go of her grandmother.

Meng Chuyuan parked the car in the garage. When she got out of the car, she realized that Lu Qianling had already disappeared.

She walked towards the villa unhurriedly and entered the hall. She happened to see Grandma Lu’s figure. She walked over calmly and called out softly, “Good evening, Grandma..”
