The Reborn Girl Wants to Kill Me
Chapter 89 The wretched man who took my jade pendant to the pinnacle of life 2
"Tell your brother about the jade pendant. I'm willing to buy it. He can name the price. Xin'er, I beg you. The jade pendant is really important to me. Your brother just bought it for fun. He won't lose anything by giving it to me."
"Jade pendant, jade pendant, jade pendant! You keep talking about jade pendant. What magic power does that jade pendant have? Besides, what do you mean my brother just bought it for fun? Even if he smashes it for fun, it's still his stuff. I have no right to interfere."
Ji Xiner said this out of spite. If Cheng Dong could talk to her nicely, she might ask her brother for help. But he started blaming her and then demanded she do something...
Cheng Dong's face turned cold. "Okay, you guys are rich, but the things I like are only worth smashing to pieces in the eyes of you. It's okay if your family looks down on me, but I didn't expect you to look down on me too. It seems I have to think carefully about our relationship."
The two parted unhappily.
Cheng Dong was in a bad mood. He felt that he had missed something important. He felt very depressed and walked aimlessly outside.
It was not until he arrived at the antique street that he realized what he wanted to do.
He visited every alley, every stall, and every shop, but no object could give him the same feeling as that jade pendant.
He stood at the street corner feeling lost, people were coming and going around him, and the cell phone in his pocket kept ringing.
He picked it up and saw that it was a message from the loan platform reminding him to repay the loan. He opened the app and saw the word "overdue" in bright red on it.
After being with Ji Xiner, even if Ji Xiner was sensible, her spending level was too high for his wallet to cover. He didn't want to show weakness in front of Ji Xiner, so he could only pretend to be rich and borrow high-interest loans from lending platforms.
He originally thought that as long as he could win Ji Xiner's heart and the favor of the Ji family, he would have no problem paying back the small amount of money. However, Ji Xiner's family was a snob and even stole his things. He lost his temper and got angry with Ji Xiner. Now, he didn't have enough money to pay back the debt.
After much deliberation, Cheng Dong downloaded another loan app, preparing to use one loan to pay off another loan.
Ji Yanli came to the small gambling stone market.
The materials inside are all imported from R Province, for people to have fun with. People who really love these things will fly directly to R Province to gamble on stones every year.
When he entered, it was very lively inside, with stones being cut. When he entered the circle and saw Liu Jun standing next to the cutting machine with a look of great interest, his eyes darkened.
The Liu family started out in jade and jadeite, and they have considerable influence in the local community. Liu Jun is even known as the "Poison Eye."
It means that he has a sharp eye and is very good at judging materials.
The fact that he can show this expression shows that the material is good.
"It's green!"
Someone exclaimed.
Ji Yanli also looked over. It was more than 40 kilograms of old elephant skin, with the green color eaten through it. It looked like an old pit ice type, which was indeed worth exclaiming.
But, Ji Yanli shook his head almost imperceptibly, what a pity...
Liu Jun was nodding in satisfaction when he inadvertently saw Ji Yanli's expression. His smile paused. He turned back to look at the material carefully, and his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
“There’s a crack!”
Not only are there cracks, but the more you rub it, the more cracks appear. Apart from the good water head at the beginning, there is a piece of white cotton at the back.
The people around sighed and shook their heads, but they also knew that gambling on stones was like this: one cut could make you rich, another could make you rich, and even a god couldn't tell the difference between pieces of jade.
Ji Yanli casually glanced at the pile of stones in the corner. They had basically been selected by the store owner, and it was almost impossible to find jade. There might be a chance of finding a jade, but the chance was very small.
"Why did you decide to go to the market today?"
Liu Jun came over to say hello, and Ji Yanli politely responded: "I have nothing to do, so I just came out for a walk."
The Ji family also owns a jewelry store, but the company has special people to select and buy materials. Ji Yanli doesn’t usually ask much about it. He has dealt with Liu Jun before, so they have some friendship.
But in the original plot, the bankruptcy of the Ji family was closely related to Liu Jun in front of him.
After Cheng Dong obtained the special ability, he did not restrain himself at all. He took away any material with a little value. At that time, the quality of the jade sold by the Ji family was greatly reduced due to problems with the raw materials, so they found Liu Jun and hoped that he could help to judge it.
Liu Jun agreed on the surface and contacted Cheng Dong privately. The two of them got a piece of raw stone that was one meter tall and tricked the original company into buying it. It turned out to be a fake, and the Ji family company's capital chain was completely broken.
As for the reason for doing this, it was simply because Liu Jun's daughter also liked Cheng Dong and felt that Ji Xiner was an eyesore. She wanted to attack the Ji family and also wanted to please Cheng Dong.
Suddenly, Ji Yanli's eyes focused and he walked towards a basketball-sized rough stone in the corner.
Cheng Dong followed his gaze and took a look. "This was thrown here by the store owner. It's half unbuttoned, and there's a piece of white cotton inside."
But that was not what Ji Yanli saw. The mysterious purple and vibrant green were hidden under the white cotton. The beautiful colors showed its uniqueness.
He picked up the stone and called the shopkeeper: "I want this one."
The people around were both amused and confused when they saw this.
"Mr. Ji, this stone is useless. Master Liu is right next to you. If you want to buy a rough stone, you can ask him to help you identify it. This one... won't produce green."
Liu Jun didn't say anything. He had some friendship with the Ji family, but he wouldn't rush to help others with the selection. He just said, "This one won't work. You can look for something else."
Ji Yanli insisted and asked the shopkeeper: "I want this one, how much is it?"
He looked like a fool with too much money and no idea how to act recklessly. If it were anyone else, they would have been ripped off long ago. But the Ji family had this piece of jade, so the shop owner couldn't really treat him as a fat sheep and ripped him off. He waved his hand:
"No need, Mr. Ji likes it, take it and play with it."
Ji Yanli's face turned serious: "You gave this piece to me. If it turns out to be green, whose will it be? You name a price and I'll buy it. Even if it's a waste stone, I chose it myself."
Finally, he transferred one thousand yuan to the store and started cutting the stone using the store's stone-cutting tools.
There was a crowd of people around him, but most of them were there to laugh at him.
"Hey, Mr. Ji, I've looked at this stone. It has almost no chance of turning green. It's even worse than the white-gray one next to it."
There was also a schadenfreude in Liu Jun's eyes. Some people thought that just because they had dealt with jadeite, they really understood gambling on jadeite. How naive.
Ji Yanli was very calm.
After a while, someone shouted, "Fuck! Look, is it green?!"
"It really is."
Liu Jun's face darkened.
The waste stone that he had already stamped turned out green. Doesn't this damage his reputation?
That’s not all. After a while, the stone was revealed - an old pit ice-type spring-colored stone.
Liu Jun's face was swollen.
