3088 Wasted Kindness

Leng Xiaoyao decided to start from half-cut raw jade materials, because it was more likely to find jade from them. However, they were a lot more expensive than whole raw jade materials and there might just be a thin layer of jade.

If there was only a thin layer of jade, she might lose a fortune.

The prices of half-cut raw jade materials were estimated according to the value of the possible jade inside.

For example, the first one Leng Xiaoyao saw was the size of a basketball. It was cut a little and showed green. However, nobody knew whether there was really jade inside.

If Leng Xiaoyao wanted to figure it out, she would have to pick them up one by one to observe them.

After observing the first one with her magical senses, Leng Xiaoyao didn’t feel much magical power. It meant there might just be a thin layer of jade inside. It wasn’t worth the price on the tag.

All the half-cut raw jade materials were worth millions of yuan while the whole raw jade materials were worth hundreds of yuan.

Leng Xiaoyao observed five of them, but all of them weren’t worth the price. When Leng Xiaoyao observed the sixth one, she finally found one with thick magical power. Although she didn’t know what jade it was nor its value, she was sure that it was worth more than the price on the tag.

As long as she could make money, Leng Xiaoyao was willing to try it. Without delay, she bought this half-cut raw jade material.

There weren’t many half-cut raw jade materials in the store. Leng Xiaoyao checked about a dozen, and yet there were only two that were worth more than their prices. The rest weren’t very valuable or were simply stones.

Therefore, Leng Xiaoyao bought the two valuable half-cut raw jade materials.

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked over and kindly reminded her. “Miss, you bought two at a time. Aren’t you afraid to lose money? They look good on the outside, but there might not be valuable jade inside.”

“Thank you for your reminder, but I think these two are worth the money. I want to try it. If I lose the money, I will accept the result,” Leng Xiaoyao politely replied to his kind reminder.

“Fine!” The man sighed and said nothing else. He was only afraid that Leng Xiaoyao might suffer a great loss. He had no intention of interfering with her decision. After all, he had no right to do so.

Right at that time, a man said disdainfully, “Gu Yankai, you’re too timid when buying the raw jade materials. Why did you stop other people from doing it? What? Are you jealous? Even if you’re jealous, you can do nothing about it because you don’t have money!”

Gu Yankai was the middle-aged man who kindly reminded Leng Xiaoyao to be careful, while the man who interrupted them was a short, middle-aged, fat man. He seemed to be a whale.

Behind him were two young men in a suit. They were obviously his subordinates.

“Nonsense! Liu Peiyi, I didn’t stop the girl from buying the raw jade materials.” Gu Yankai retorted in annoyance.

“You didn’t stop her? Then why did you bother to say that to her? You said that, which proves that you tried to stop her,” Liu Peiyi said domineeringly.

“You…” Gu Yankai was mad. If Liu Peiyi was reasonable, he could talk to him about it, but Liu Peiyi was domineering. It was impossible for them to understand each other. Once Gu Yankai argued with Liu Peiyi, he would never win.

Liu Peiyi looked unpleasant, and Leng Xiaoyao had always been straightforward, so she said, “Hey, it’s none of your business. Why are you shouting here?”

“You…” Liu Peiyi was angry, then he blamed Leng Xiaoyao. “I stood up for you. Why did you criticize me? You didn’t cherish my kindness at all.”

Liu Peiyi was very loud and angry, so he immediately attracted attention from other people in the store. People turned to look at him at once, including Shen Xiyin.

After she walked over, she saw Leng Xiaoyao and was slightly surprised. She didn’t expect to meet Leng Xiaoyao here, but she didn’t go closer. She decided to see what had happened first.

Leng Xiaoran sneered at Liu Peiyi and asked instead, “You stood up for me? I didn’t cherish your kindness? Come on, this gentleman did nothing bad to me. Why would you bother to stand up for me? Don’t you just want to do something bad using that excuse? I’m not an idiot.”

She disliked it when people did bad things with the excuse that they stood up for her.

There were grudges between Liu Peiyi and Gu Yankai, so Liu Peiyi deliberately attacked Gu Yankai. By chance, he saw Gu Yankai reminding Leng Xiaoyao to be careful, so he seized that chance and picked on Gu Yankai.

“You…” Because Leng Xiaoyao pointed it out, Liu Peiyi felt humiliated and angry. “Don’t get me wrong!”

“I got you wrong? How did I do that? There is no grudge between you and me. If you hadn’t mentioned me all of a sudden, I wouldn’t have argued with you.” Leng Xiaoyao mocked. “Alright, I’m busy now. Please stop bothering me.”

Saying that, Leng Xiaoyao ignored Liu Peiyi and walked to the counter.

Liu Peiyi was furious, but he would only cause himself trouble if he continued to bother Leng Xiaoyao.

However, if he stopped, he was still wrong in other people’s eyes. After all, he stirred things up first.

Therefore, Liu Peiyi didn’t want to stay there any longer. He glared at Leng Xiaoyao’s back, then at Gu Yankai before leaving.

Actually, he wanted to curse Gu Yankai before he walked away, but he didn’t want other people to know that he stirred things up on purpose.

After settling the bill, Leng Xiaoyao walked to the place where they cut the raw jade materials. Gu Yankai also wanted to know whether there was jade in the two half-cut raw jade materials, so he followed Leng Xiaoyao.

Even though he didn’t think there would be jade in the two half-cut raw jade materials, he still looked forward to seeing the result.

When Leng Xiaoyao walked there, she met Shen Xiyin face to face.

Even if Leng Xiaoyao targeted Shen Xiyin, she couldn’t let her know that. Therefore, she acted surprised. “Miss Shen, what a coincidence! I didn’t expect to see you here.”

“It’s indeed a coincidence! I didn’t want to interrupt you earlier.” Shen Xiyin smiled.

Because Shen Xiyin was aware that Leng Xiaoyao knew a bit about jade, she wasn’t very surprised that Leng Xiaoyao bought two half-cut raw jade materials. She only thought it was a little risky.
