Chapter 275: The Feeling of Being Slapped in the Face

That longevity peach jade was so beautiful!

There were a few beautiful dark green patterns that were intertwined with the jade-green color.

The entire shape of the longevity peach was natural. It was simply the best choice to celebrate the old man’s birthday.

It was much more artistic than an ordinary rectangular paperweight.

What made people more envious was the color and breed of that jade...

“Gosh, Boss. If I had known that there was an old glass pit species in your shop, I would have bought it.”

“It’s too perfect to make this old glass type jade into a longevity peach. Why didn’t I see it just now?”

“That’s because your taste isn’t as good as this little girl. She doesn’t even want the ice jade but only has this in mind!”

“It’s just that the price is a little expensive. It must be 800,000, right? Even if I wanted to buy it, I didn’t bring enough money with me. This little girl is really generous...”

The surrounding customers’ praise stunned Gu Xuexue.

She didn’t know much about jade and looked at Gu Yuanyuan in confusion. “Sister Yuanyuan, what glass species do they think this is? Is a birthday peach made of broken glass worth being so excited for? 800,000? There must be a mistake, right?”

Gu Yuanyuan’s face flushed red. She gnashed her teeth and said, “This is called an old glass pit species. It’s not glass!”

She was already depressed enough, but this idiot Gu Xuexue actually added fuel to the fire.

Everyone knew that the ranks of jade stones ranged from low to high. They were Waxy, Ice, Glass, and Old Pit Glass!

Gu Qiqi actually took a fancy to the highest quality jade!

An expensive jade worth 800,000 dollars!

That cunning girl even deliberately hid it under her elbow and used that tattered sleeve to cover herself so that she wouldn’t discover it!

If she had known that there was such an old glass pit type jade, why would she have bought a low-grade ice type? Wasn’t she clearly being crushed by that country bumpkin?

At this moment, she looked at the ice type paperweight in his hand...n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was really getting worse the more she looked at it!

Gu Yuanyuan gnashed her teeth. With reddened eyes, she stretched out her hand and snatched it from Gu Qiqi once more!

Hmph, what’s there to be afraid of? She just had to snatch it away.

It wasn’t like she hadn’t snatched one before!

However...

This time, Gu Qiqi raised her hand lightly and slapped her claws away.

Then...

She handed a check to the boss and said lightly, “There, you don’t have to give me change.”

Gu Yuanyuan’s hand was slapped so forcefully that she felt like her bones were going to break.

But Gu Qiqi only patted it lightly with her hand, making her feel indescribable pain.

If she screamed, people would only think that she was delicate.

When she looked up again, she saw that the check that Gu Qiqi had taken out was actually...

810,000!

Gu Qiqi actually had that much money?

Was it stolen?!

Gu Yuanyuan was stunned and was even more speechless.

At this moment, Gu Xuexue’s face was also burning with pain. Just now, she had even mocked Gu Qiqi for only being able to afford a jade pen stand worth 3,000 dollars.

But she turned around and casually threw out 810,000 dollars.

Could it be that Gu Qiqi hasn’t left that man yet?

Or had Gu Qiqi curried favor with Gong Sheng?

Gu Xuexue’s face hurt and she was jealous.

In the end, she could only be thick-skinned and say, “Sister, Sister Yuan likes this very much too. How about you give her the ice jade paperweight in exchange for the old glass pit Longevity Peach jade?”

Gu Qiqi’s thin lips curved slightly. “Why? Are you addicted to snatching? Then, let’s see if her card is faster or my check is faster?”

Gu Xuexue paled.

Wasn’t that obvious?

It would take time to swipe the card. A check was equivalent to cash and could be paid directly.

Gu Yuanyuan didn’t have face anymore after being scolded by Gu Qiqi.

The feeling of being slapped in public was really unpleasant.

That longevity peach jade was like a thorn in her heart. She had to spit it out.

Her pair of eyes swept across Gu Qiqi’s body and she realized that the check in Gu Qiqi’s hand had already been emptied. There was only a particularly small amount left—about 500 dollars.

An idea formed in her mind.

She definitely wouldn’t tolerate Gu Qiqi crushing her in public.

Especially with money!

That country bumpkin was even richer than her, this big missy. How was she going to survive in the socialite circles in the Imperial Capital?
