Thinking of that, Wu Maosong thought of the 15 raw stones that the girl pocketed and narrowed his eyes into slits.
Could it be that the raw stones that the girl picked like cabbages in the market were all good stuff that she had her eyes on in the first place?
The same question arose in Ling Pinyuan’s mind when the raw stone turned out to be oily green jade after getting cut.
At this moment, looking at Zhong Nuannuan, Ling Pinyuan’s scalp started to tingle.
When Zhong Nuannuan saw that the raw stone was out, she said to Ling Pinyuan with a smile, “I’m sorry, Miss Ling. Unfortunately, I’ve guessed the type of jade inside this raw stone correctly. I’ll gladly accept the raw stones you gave me. As for this oily green jade, since Miss Ling likes it so much, you can keep it for yourself. I told you before, I don’t want a useless stone.”
Zhong Nuannuan could not be blamed for stirring up trouble. It was this woman who wanted to secretly seduce Zhong Nuannuan’s Big Brother Chi Yang, was it not?
Ling Pinyuan nearly died of anger by Zhong Nuannuan. She felt that Zhong Nunanuan was simply here to stir up trouble on purpose.
Thus, Ling Pingyuan stepped forward from the crowd and walked to Zhong Nuannuan. Clad in her handsome military uniform, the aura of a soldier in the special forces instantly unleashed from her body, emitting a wave of pressure on everyone around her.
“Miss, I seriously suspect that you’re here to stir up trouble. I merely stole a piece of raw stone from your grandfather. Now, you’re holding a grudge and pretending to be a pig while eating up a tiger by cheating my Soaring Clouds Pavilion for over twenty million. Don’t you think you’re going a little overboard by doing this?”
Although Ling Pinyuan was a woman, she was a member of the special forces team. She had an iron-blooded aura that ordinary women did not have. Once this aura was unleashed, no woman would be spared from getting intimidated by her.
Seeing this, Old Master Chi was about to step forward to help his granddaughter-in-law. After all, it was not a physical fight. It was just a display of their pressurizing aura, after all. He believed that there was no one in this exhibition hall whose aura could be stronger than his.
However, before the old master could activate his skill to protect his granddaughter-in-law, his granddaughter-in-law’s aura had already been fully unleashed.
Frankly, Zhong Nuannuan did not fully unleash her aura. Instead, she did it just enough to suppress Ling Pinyuan.
Ling Pinyuan had taken a few steps towards Zhong Nuannuan previously. However, it only took Zhong Nuannuan one step forward for Ling Pinyuan and the onlookers to instantly feel how weak Ling Pinyuan’s aura was in comparison.
“So, you admit that you stole my grandfather’s raw stone now? Why didn’t you admit it when I first said you stole it?”
Ling Pinyuan’s mouth moved, but she realized that she could not refute Zhong Nuannuan’s statement.
However, Ling Pinyuan was, after all, an outstanding female soldier in the special forces. Not only was she strong, but as a born socialite from a wealthy family—the fact that she became a second lieutenant at the age of 26—showed that she was not stupid. Therefore, she did not continue down the path Zhong Nuannuan set for her. Instead, she immediately changed the topic.
“Therefore, you bore a grudge against me and extorted twenty million from my Soaring Clouds Pavilion. You’re thinking that to make you take a step back, Soaring Clouds Pavilion will have to compensate you with twenty million, right?”
To be honest, when Ling Pinyuan first stepped out of the crowd, everyone guessed that she was a sore loser. However, now that she said that, everyone felt that Zhong Nuannuan was probably pretending to be weak so that she could ensnare a tiger. This kind of… blatant scam was a little too much.
Zhong Nuannuan smiled and said, “Miss Ling is indeed a soldier in the special forces. You must be one of the soldiers in charge of negotiating, aren’t you? With your glib tongue, you’re able to subdue the enemy without a fight, aren’t you?”
