Chapter 56: Rip-off Without Batting An Eyelid

“Do you think I’m selling vegetables? Bargaining of prices?” The owner did not make an exception for him but did for Shen Qianshu.

Hearing the owner, Li Zhiyuan thought, Damn, that hurts. I stood up for you while you watched us deal with this messed up couple.

Shen Qianshu was speechless.

“My dad has been controlling the amount of money he gives me lately. Money is a little tighter.” Li Zhiyuan revealed a troubled expression and continued. “Qianshu, shall we pick one that’s less costly?”

“No, I want just this.” After all, she was the mother of a talented child star, and her acting skills were pretty good as well. The vivid image she gave was very much like a woman who constantly clung onto her sugar daddy for benefits.

The look that Lin Xuan gave her was disdainful and complex, but Shen Lin could not hide the pleasure she got out of it.

That’s right, Brother Xuan needs to see the disgraceful side of her.

“Qianshu, my lovely Qianshu…”

Qianshu acted coquettishly and said, “… the spinel is just so beautiful.”

Shen Qianshu’s acting skills were at their fullest. Her voice was as sweet as honey, and Lin Xuan’s face turned pale. Shen Lin gave her a disdainful look.

Go on, get angry. Rage. The more you hold it in, the happier I am.

Trying to take advantage of me? No way!

“Oh right, isn’t your girl a jewelry appraiser? You saw the outcome of the appraisal, it is definitely not just twenty thousand. If you get it, you’ll definitely make a profit.”

Shen Lin was also attracted by the yellow spinel. It was a beautiful jewel. They knew Shen Qianshu was a renowned jewelry appraiser. When she graduated and returned to her country, she rejected the invitation from AG Jewelry’s design faculty and chose Gubelin. That left many people in shock.

Within a year, her name became known among the entire jewelry industry. Everyone knew that there was a professional appraiser in Gubelin named Shen Qianshu.

Young, beautiful and meticulous. She never messed up once.

She was also the favorite appraiser of many major pawn shops, auction markets, and high-end jewelry places.

“Qianshu, you have such a good taste. This spinel is really pretty,” Shen Lin said. She was very fascinated by it.

Ladies love jewelry.

The Shen Family had been working with jewels for ages. Since Shen Lin returned to the Shen Family, she had always been in contact with jewelry, and she loved them.

Shen Qianshu ignored her entirely. Lin Xuan asked gently, “do you want it?”

“It’s very pretty, but… Qianshu likes it.”

“I’ll buy it for you.” Lin Xuan pretended as if he did not hear the second part of the sentence and pushed his credit card straight to the owner of the stall. “I want it. The spinel,” he said.

“Little rascal, this spinel just arrived in the store. We haven’t even got a certificate for it, you…”

“I’m buying it.” Shen Qianshu was an appraiser who had already appraised it, yet she insisted on wanting it. Even if the spinel had no certificate, it did not matter as it was definitely not just worth twenty thousand. He did not want to admit that he had been paying attention to Shen Qianshu.

He knew that Shen Qianshu was a well-respected appraiser.

Li Zhiyuan was so done with all of it. Just as he was about to protest, the owner took over the card. SWIPE!

“You don’t even have money! Speak less!”

It all happened at one go. There wasn’t a pause.

Li Zhiyuan was speechless.

Bro, are you interested in joining the entertainment industry?

I’ll support you!

With those acting skills, you’re bound to become famous!

Shen Lin looked at Shen Qianshu from a side gladly with a tinge of pride.

So what if you took up fifteen years of my life?

You will never be as good as me.

“Shen Lin, you are really such an unqualified jewelry designer,” Shen Qianshu said as she gave her a mocking gaze. “CEO Li, let’s go.”

Li Zhiyuan left with Shen Qianshu, and the owner waved.

Li Zhiyuan said, “That’s so awesome. I wish that spinel is fake. Although they aren’t worth just two hundred thousand, purchasing a fake piece of rock with two hundred thousand will definitely piss them off. Isn’t Ms. Shen Lin a jewelry designer? Doesn’t she take a look at the jewels before she buys them?”
