Wang Zirou's gentle eyes glanced calmly at Qin Yi before she continued to pay attention to the items in the stall.
Qin Yi was at a loss.
He had greeted her out of kindness, but she had treated him as a nobody.
Qin Yi retracted his gaze in disappointment and continued to observe the jade in his hands.
At this moment, the young man beside Wang Zirou, Zhou Shaoning, was unhappy. He yelled at Qin Yi, "Who do you think you are? Do you think you have the right to get close to Zirou?"
Qin Yi was once again at a loss.
Was Zhou Shaoning possessed by Xu Hao?
Qin Yi was only saying hello to Wang Zirou. Out of the blue, Zhou Shaoning became jealous!
After some thought, Qin Yi straightened his body and revealed his white teeth. He smiled at him, "Hello, I'm Wang Zixing's brother-in-law."
There was nothing wrong with his words.
Not only Wang Zixing had Wang Zirou as his elder sister, but he also had Xiaofei, Moyun, and Muyan as his sisters.
"Brat! Are you looking for death on purpose?" Zhou Shaoning's brows were cold as he glared at Qin Yi. The two bodyguards behind him were also ready to take action.
"No, I think you're wasting your time."
Qin Yi wasn't afraid at all. He shrugged his shoulders sarcastically, "It's obvious that this beauty doesn't even want to look at you."
"D*mn it!"
Zhou Shaoning cursed angrily and shouted to the bodyguards behind him, "Beat him!"
Qin Yi also set up a battle posture.
F*ck!
Qin Yi was only saying hello. Why did Zhou Shaoning want to scold him? Who on earth was looking for death now?
Just as they were about to have a fight, Wang Zirou suddenly said, "Enough!"
The simple words made Zhou Shaoning and his bodyguards stop. They said unwillingly, "Zirou, he has said that to you. Why do you still want to help him?"
"It's my business!" Wang Zirou said flatly, "And please don't follow me anymore. I have something else to do."
"Zirou, but we..."
"Don't worry. I'll visit uncle another day," said Wang Zirou.
"Oh! Great!"
Only did half of Zhou Shaoning's anger dissipate. He then glared viciously at Qin Yi and left with his bodyguards.
After he'd left, Qin Yi said gently to Wang Zirou, "Thank you."
Instead of saying 'you're welcome', Wang Zirou looked at him calmly with her cold eyes. "If I hadn't spoken just now, you would have ended up in a miserable situation. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I don't." Qin Yi shook his head decisively.
Would he end up in a miserable state?
The one who ended up in a miserable situation should be the jealous man.
"Zixing said that you are good at martial arts. Even if you can defeat Zhou Shaoning's bodyguards, what about his following revenge?" Wang Zirou continued, "You can't always solve problems with violence. Ordinary people can't lay a finger on the things that they shouldn't have."
"You should know that we are not from the same world."
"So, stop hallucinating. If you touch something that doesn't belong to you, you will pay a great price for your action."
"I spoke for you just now because you are a friend of Zixing. I hope you can understand."
Qin Yi immediately understood what she meant.
She had regarded him as a jealous man who wanted to compete with Zhou Shaoning. Wang Zirou thought Qin Yi was a brazen-faced man!
"I think you've misunderstood me." Qin Yi felt it necessary to explain and said, "I only said that I was Zixing's brother-in-law. I wasn't referring to us as a couple. To be honest, you're beautiful, but you're not my type."
Qin Yi didn't lie.
He didn't like this kind of arrogant woman who put her thoughts on others.
Hearing that, Wang Zirou was slightly stunned.
It was the first time in history that someone had spoken to her in this manner.
Qin Yi couldn't be bothered by Wang Zirou anymore. He turned his head and asked the boss about the price of the jade.
Initially, Qin Yi thought of helping Wang Zirou because of her godlike appearance and his relationship with Wang Zixing. However, he didn't expect her to have such an arrogant attitude.
After some bargaining, Qin Yi finally purchased the jade with thirty-eight thousand yuan.
In actuality, the price could continue to drop. However, Qin Yi felt that it was troublesome and didn't think he needed to waste so much time here bargaining. The Imperial Green Jadeite inside was dozens of times higher than the amount he spent.
After he left, the stall owner saw that Wang Zirou was still in a daze, so he said with a smile, "Miss Wang, why do you bother arguing with that pretentious person? That piece of broken jade is not even worth 30,000 yuan. He only stared at the jade for a long time, trying to pretend he was experienced in this sphere. He probably wouldn't buy it if he didn't want to show off in front of you."
"Besides, which rich man would buy a piece of broken jade of terrible quality? Just ignore him."
......
Qin Yi carried the jade in his pocket and walked into an antique store behind the square according to the address on the pawn ticket that Li Chongyang had given him.
The boss got the ticket and soon took out a purple wooden box.
"Boss, are you keeping jade here?" Qin Yi asked.
"Yes, young man. What good stuff do you have?" asked the boss with a smile.
Qin Yi took out the jade he'd just bought and handed it to the boss. "How much do you think it's worth?"
When the boss saw it, he was immediately discouraged.
He thought it was a good thing, but it turned out to be a piece of jade of poor quality. It had a rough surface and poor color, and some cracks.
"Twenty thousand, no more than that," the boss said casually. He didn't want to accept it at all.
Any item in the shop was worth more than 100,000 yuan. He only bid for it when he saw that the jade was a tad bigger. Otherwise, he wouldn't take it at all.
"Haha! Boss, do you have any jade cutter here?" Qin Yi asked with a smile.
The boss took out a small cutter and said, "Young man, you must think about it carefully. If you cut it down, not to mention 30,000 yuan, even 20,000 yuan will be too much to sell it out."
"It's all right. Cut it!" Qin Yi smiled. "Just cut a small corner."
After a while, the boss cut off a nail-sized piece.
Qin Yi asked him to look through the cut.
The boss looked at it suspiciously and found something darker inside!
Realizing that this thing was unusual, he immediately took out the strong flashlight that was specially used to appreciate jade and carefully observed it.
The more he looked at it, the wider his eyes became, and his expression became more excited. Even his hands could not help trembling.
When he saw the thing inside was an Imperial Green Jadeite, he couldn't help but cry out, "Good stuff!"
He knew that he shouldn't be so excited in front of the guests and ruin the bargain, but he couldn't help it!
Imperial Green Jadeite was the king of jade, a precious stone hidden in an ordinary piece. It was the finest-quality jadeite among the gems!
"One million and two hundred thousand!" The boss immediately offered a price. He couldn't wait to buy the treasure immediately.
"Haha!" Qin Yi smiled but didn't say anything.
The boss knew he was too excited and accidentally revealed his weakness. He calmed down and said, "Young man, the Imperial Green Jadeite inside is too small. How about this? The price is fixed at 1.5 million!"
"Haha!" Qin Yi still smiled and remained silent.
He was excited under a facade of such a calm smile.
He only knew the general price of jade. 1.5 million yuan was beyond his expectation.
He was so calm because the boss was so excited that the price would probably rise again.
Sure enough.
The boss gritted his teeth and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Last price at one million and eight hundred thousand! It is the bottom line. I can't offer you more than this! You can go elsewhere if someone is willing to pay such a high price."
Before he could finish his words, Qin Yi added, "All right, I'll take a look elsewhere."
As soon as the boss heard Qin Yi's words, he became anxious!
