Chapter 173 - A Leaf

Pain.

I completely didn't expect that my thin thoughts would suddenly hit me. I didn't expect anything as I heavily fell to the side. A jade piece was inserted into my palm, causing me to bleed.

However, no one paid attention to my condition. Everyone's gazes were on Zhang Mancha who was crying sorrowfully while holding onto the broken bracelet.

I clenched my teeth and pulled out the jade slip from my palm with my eyes closed.

Blood was flowing out, but I didn't want anyone to see my miserable state. I tightly clenched my injured hand without leaving a trace.

"Lin Xiang, you're such a scary person, you actually broke the bracelet Mancha prepared for my mother!" My whole body was lifted up and the thin thoughts tightly grabbed onto my collar, making it hard for me to breathe.

"Cough cough, what nonsense are you talking about? Let go of me." How could I intentionally break the bracelet?

I grabbed hold of the thin thought's hand and struggled to get out of this unpleasantness.

"You're still not admitting it, Lin Xiang, you slut!" He released my collar.

Without binding, I took deep breaths of the fresh air. I felt lucky to have survived. However, I was struck senseless by a slap.

Seeing that my mother-in-law hadn't retracted her hand, the stinging pain on her face reminded me of what had just happened.

I have never formally acknowledged my identity as my mother-in-law, yet you gave me a slap?

"You want to become my son's wife with this appearance? Are you even worthy?" Grandma's face was puffed up, and she looked as if she wanted to give me a few slaps.

Funny, really funny.

Lin Xiang, why are you feeling wronged? What does it have to do with you?

"Mrs. Bo, what position do you have to care about what I, Lin Xiang, look like? From start to finish, you have never admitted that I am your wife. Just now, did you really not see who designed who? " I covered my face with my hands. The blood on my palms dripped onto my face, drop by drop. The fresh red blood made Grandma take a few steps back.

"Or could it be that you can't wait to find an excuse to completely end the conflict between your son and me? So you can marry this scheming, wise, and tearful wife behind you back to your home? "

I have never been a fool. If I was really stupid, then how could I mix in the entertainment circle? The scheming of the palace in the entertainment circle is way better than Zhang Mancha's method of recruiting people.

I looked at my mother-in-law, at her evasive eyes, and suddenly smiled.

"I won't disturb your interest any longer. I'm very busy. I have to endure once, and I have to endure twice. However, the rabbit will still bite if it gets anxious. Goodbye?"

I took out a wet towel from my bag, wiped off the blood from my face and hands, and walked out with a smile on my face.

After exiting the shop, he turned around to look at the shop behind him.

"Zhang Mancha, this is the third time."

Before I could buy Grandfather's present, because I didn't want to bump into Zhang Mancha who thought of nothing and my mother-in-law in name, I went to another street. Here, they won't come back.

To them, it was a street away, but it was a watershed between the rich and the poor.

If I enter the street I am walking on, I will lower their status.

Because there were no shops on this street, everything was displayed on the street. Moreover, not all of the items on the street were good stuff. Some black-hearted merchants even brought fakes to fish here.

I walked around and saw a few things, but I still hadn't decided which one to buy.

"Miss, look at my item. It's good stuff, but it's cheap. It's not good for me to sell it for money." I had just walked up to a stall when a young man in his twenties grabbed my skirt.

The corners of my mouth twitched as I looked at the blackened hand.

"Let go!" I'm wearing a long white dress. Even if this person doesn't understand the difference between men and women, he should at least know something.

My clothes, I seem to have seen the black handprint left by the hem of the man's skirt after he let go.

a palm mark on the face and a black handprint on the garment

I almost lost control of my emotions and went crazy.

"Miss, look at the items on my stall. They're cheap and I won't charge you a single cent. Five hundred yuan is enough to take back the treasures on my stall."

Five hundred?

How could this be called cheap?

"Let go!" Let alone five hundred, even if it's fifty, I won't buy it.

Really, just who is this guy and I don't dare to use too much strength. If I use too much strength, then my skirt will be ripped off by this guy. That would truly be embarrassing.

"I won't let go unless you buy my item. Fifty is fine too, I'll sell it to you for money in one go." That person's face was filled with the words' I am a scoundrel '.

The corner of my mouth twitched. Previously, I was shouting "500", but now that it's 50, there's still no problem. Is this person sure he's normal? You can bargain so much? What was he selling?

I was a little curious.

"Let go of me first. I want to see what you have." Maybe it was a liar who wanted my money and gave it to him, but he didn't have anything.

Although I haven't seen many of these kinds of scammers, but I've heard of them before. They specifically pick some simple, beautiful and kind little girls to take action.

Um, wait, everyone calm down a bit. I'm not saying that I have a pure heart, or that I'm beautiful or kind. I'm just saying that others think that I have a pure heart, or that I'm beautiful or kind.

After I said those words, the young swindler slowly withdrew his hand and took out something that caused my face to gradually turn ugly.

A withered leaf.

Yes, a leaf.

This person must be crazy, right?

Let me spend five hundred dollars on a leaf that's under my ass and I don't know what to smell? No, it's fifty dollars now. I think it's too much to give him five.

No, it was more than fifty cents.

"Is this what you meant by treasure? You want me to buy this? Is this a good thing? Brother, do you think you're stupid or me? This is clearly a leaf. It's fine if you let me buy it, but you even offered me such an expensive price. "

Just as I said that, I saw the young man on the other side frown and look at me disapprovingly.

How is this a leaf? This is not just an ordinary leaf, this is a leaf that I painstakingly found in the extreme north, a leaf that has existed for over ten thousand years. This is a leaf that exists for over a thousand years on the ice.

I wanted to laugh as I listened to the people opposite me flattering him about the leaves in his hands.

But after saying so much, wasn't that the leaf he was holding in his hand?

An extremely ordinary leaf.

"Big brother, I'm in a hurry. I'm looking forward to selling this leaf. Fine, I'll be a good person and give you fifty cents. If you sell this leaf to me, you can go back."

After I said that, the person in front of me frowned and suddenly stopped talking. I took a closer look and this fellow seemed to be considering the feasibility of my words.

[This fellow is serious now. I was just joking with him. Why is he so serious now?]

Just as I was about to speak, that fellow looked at me, conflicted.

"Fifty, I really can't go any lower. Fifty cents isn't even enough for my fare. I'll wrap it up for you right now."

I don't know where he pulled out a small box, but when I saw the box, I took another look at the young man in front of me.

Could it be that there was something wrong with his head?

I took a rough look at this box. There were embedded gems on its surface. Even if it wasn't real, this kind of hand-made box wouldn't be less than fifty.

I watched him put the fifty-dollar leaf into the box.

He handed it over to me in a serious manner.

"Here, can you give me fifty dollars now?"

"Fifty dollars? Brother, I can't afford the 500,000. Um, take out the leaf inside, I'll give you 50 yuan, but I really can't take this package. "

"Really?" The man frowned, as if he couldn't believe it.

Really! More real than gold.
