Hearing that, Gu Man jumped to her feet and looked like she wanted to eat Yun Nan alive as she snapped, “What are you talking about? Are you saying that I’m wearing fake jewelry?”

Shi Nian couldn’t help but reach out to shield Yun Nan from the woman as he frowned and glared at Gu Man. Gu Man’s face reddened as she realized she had lost her composure.

Yun Nan appeared surprised as she commented, “It looks like Miss Gu doesn’t know the tourmaline on the bracelet she’s wearing is a fake?”

Gu Man couldn’t take it anymore and angrily retorted, “Miss Yun, don’t you think you’re being rude?”

Yun Nan smiled and replied. “My apologies, Miss Gu. I thought you Imew this bracelet wasn’t worth much. I was sincere in my praise; it is indeed beautifully designed. We also like to collect such accessories sometimes. I thought you were aware these things are fake. I didn’t realize you didn’t… I’m very sorry; this was my fault.”

Gu Man felt stumped; she didn’t know how to respond to that comment. Seeing her friend’s dilemma, Lin Yu quickly came to her aid. “Gu Man usually likes to collect these little accessories. I didn’t know you liked them too, Yun Nan. Gu Man is the apple in her family’s eyes; she doesn’t care about the price tag if she likes something. Whether it’s real or fake—if she liked it, she would buy it; if she didn’t like it, she would throw it aside. She’s truly quite spoiled by her family.” So saying, she pulled Gu Man’s hand and gestured for her to take a seat.

“Hmm, I can tell.” Yun Nan nodded with a rather meaningful smile, leaving others to guess what she meant by that.

Gu Man’s pride—which had just been restored by Lin Yu—was trampled down again. She swallowed her anger, sat down, and stated unhappily, “Miss Yun, you say this tourmaline is fake. Do you have any basis for that claim?”

Yun Nan gave her a friendly smile as she answered, “Do you know of the master appraiser, Song Ning? I once studied with him for some time because of my work. I can ask Teacher Song if you wish to confirm my words, Miss Gu.”

Yun Nan picked up her phone and made a video call. Lin Yu wanted to stop her, but it was too late. Meanwhile, Gu Man didn’t believe her bracelet was fake at all and waited for Yun Nan to make a fool of herself with complete confidence.

The call went through, and Song Ning appeared on the screen, loudly saying,

“Whoa! Look who it is! Well, look who finally decided to call! Yun Nan, you finally got your conscience back and remembered to call me!”

Yun Nan chuckled. “Teacher Song, there’s something I want you to look at.”

Song Ning rolled his eyes. “No! Can’t you look at it yourself? I taught you everything I know, so something like this shouldn’t be a problem for you. Are you trying to embarrass me?”

Yun Nan still kept smiling as she responded, “Teacher Song, my knowledge is superficial compared to yours. Please, give me some pointers.” She then aimed her phone screen at Gu Man’s bracelet and showed it to Song Ning from different angles.

“Tsk! Yun Nan! Is this what you wanted me to look at? Can you really not tell? Really, I— If I officially take you on as my disciple, I’ll make you stand in the corner for three months! Can’t you even tell if this thing is real or fake? Why are you showing me this fake thing? Don’t you know it’s an eyesore?!” Song Ning scolded her vociferously.

Yun Nan begged for mercy and told him, “Alright, Teacher Song, calm down. I’ll treat you to a meal sometime!”

Song Ning went off on her like an exploding chestnut. “And when would that be? Are you cooking or are we going to a restaurant? I’m not going if it’s the latter! ”

Yun Nan laughed. “You can come look for us at the studio any time. Miss An and I will cook. How does that sound?”

“That’s more like it! I’ll find you when I’ve arranged the time off work! Don’t go back on your word!” Song Ning warned.

“Don’t worry, I won’t. Even if I do go back on my word, Miss An and Mika won’t, ” Yun Nan very good-temperedly cajoled.

“Hmph! I won’t help you next time if you dare to break your promise!” And with that, Song Ning hung up the phone.

Yun Nan smiled at the shocked crowd and said, “As you just saw, Teacher Song has a temper. We got scolded every day when we were learning from him. He’s a good person with very keen eyes, but he does have a vicious mouth.” “You should introduce him to our sister-in-law,” Shi Nian suggested a little boastfully.

Yun Nan loudly whispered, “He’s quite afraid of Xiang Yang; he doesn’t even dare to mention her name aloud.”

Shi Nian chuckled, “Then that settles it. If he yells at you in the future, you can look for Xiang Yang to back you up.”

The two of them laughed softly together. Shi Gao—sitting opposite Yun Nan— lowered her eyes and viciously stabbed the chicken wing before her with the chopsticks she was holding. Gu Man’s face paled before turning green with envy, and she felt extremely humiliated..
