Chapter 500: Chapter 500 Second Brother’s Blind Date Chapter 500: Chapter 500 Second Brother’s Blind Date Ye Miaoshan struggled with stars in her eyes, “There must be a problem, I don’t believe it, I want someone else to appraise it.”

“Madam, the fact is as it is, if you don’t believe it, you can go to an appraisal institution.”

The appraiser felt dissatisfied, having been in the business for so many years, this was the first time they encountered such a troublemaker.

To think she was a lady from a noble family, just like this?

“Gambling on stones is all about luck, some people spend a few hundred million, and the jade they cut out is only worth a few million.”

Someone advised, trying to get Ye Miaoshan to relax.

Ye Miaoshan questioned, “I suspect this raw stone isn’t the one I just bid on.”

“Raw stones are auctioned and cut on the spot.” The appraiser suspected Ye Miaoshan was trying to make trouble, “There are so many people here as witnesses.”

Everyone here was a seasoned player.

Now seeing Ye Miaoshan saying such things, they actually looked down on her.

Is she trying to ruin the rules of their business just because she didn’t get the result she wanted?

“What’s wrong? What happened?” asked Mrs. Lin, the organizer, as she walked over to inquire from the appraiser.

The appraiser relayed the recent events, and concluded, “Madam, she’s trying to renege on the deal.”

“I’m not reneging; it’s just forty million, the Su Family certainly can afford to pay it.”

Ye Miaoshan felt somewhat guilty. Blushing under everyone’s gaze, she said, “I’ve spent so much money on a worthless stone, surely I have the right to raise questions?”

Mrs. Lin politely responded, “Mrs. Su, the venue is under surveillance, if you have any doubts, we can pull up the footage. Or do you suspect the integrity of the Lin Family?”

Ye Miaoshan opened her mouth but suddenly found herself speechless, her complexion turning from pale to flushed.

With so many people around, how could she possibly suggest that the Lin Family had tampered with something?

“It seems Mrs. Su has no further doubts, in which case…” Mrs. Lin gave the host a look.

Understanding the cue, the host said, “Mrs. Su, please settle the forty million.”

Hearing this, Ye Miaoshan wished she could faint on the spot.

She had been irrational just now, and it was only after calming down that she realized where was she going to get forty million from!

The sum total of her assets was decent if it reached five million.

Su Fan was good to her, but she didn’t control the finances because he was afraid she’d spend recklessly.

If he found out she had spent so much on a stone, how could she continue living with him?

Now she was really in a tough spot.

“Could you give me a few days? I can’t come up with this amount right now.”

Ye Miaoshan’s palms were sweating with nervousness, feeling such embarrassment for the first time in her life.

“No problem, we will give Mrs. Su two days to arrange the funds.”

Mrs. Lin showed understanding, “I trust the reputation of the Su Family wouldn’t default on a payment, right?”

“Of course.”

She had brought up the Su Family herself, what else could she say?

Ye Miaoshan, holding the ink jade worth two hundred eighty thousand, felt like the sky was falling and the earth was sinking, she was about to faint.

She truly regretted her actions.

Why hadn’t she resisted the temptation?

Why hadn’t she cut her losses in time!

Why did she get greedy?

If she couldn’t produce the money, how would others view her?

How could she continue to establish herself in the circle?

The urgent task now was how to gather forty million in two days.

Ye Miaoshan bit her lip, her expression tangled.

All her so-called friends were housewives; they couldn’t possibly come up with so much cash.

Should she go to Su Mian to borrow money? She couldn’t bring herself to do it.

And if Su Mian knew, Su Fan would surely find out.

Ye Miaoshan was frantic.

She couldn’t help but think of the man who had assured her just moments ago that the raw stone could be cut into something worth hundreds of millions.

She looked around angrily for the man, only to find that he had already disappeared.

By then, the man had left the venue and sat down in a car parked outside.

And then he made a phone call.

“Boss Pei, the job’s done.”

The man explained everything that had happened at the meeting to Pei Yao.

In fact, the raw stone was fine.

The man’s only task was to entice Ye Miaoshan to spend more money.

As for the raw stone that cost forty million, the man had no idea what it would actually yield.

He had mentioned it offhand, not expecting Ye Miaoshan to truly believe it could be worth over a hundred million; ending up being worth only two hundred eighty thousand– it could only be said that Ye Miaoshan was just unlucky.

“Okay, got it.”

Pei Yao’s voice sounded somewhat schadenfreude, “You’ve got your bonus for this month.”

Now Ye Miaoshan wouldn’t have the time to bother Professor Qiao.

Forty million…

Pei Yao clicked his tongue, “Really rich.”

Thinking about his own currently liquid funds counted in billions, he clicked his tongue again; he was so poor.

Compared to Professor Qiao, he was indeed but a minor magician before a great sorcerer.

Pei Yao then called Qiao Yun.

“Boss, the job’s done. You can rest easy, that Ye guy won’t have time to pester you for a while.”

Qiao Yun didn’t ask what Pei Yao did to Ye Miaoshan, and said indifferently, “Good.”

After a pause, she added, “Thank you for the trouble.”

Pei Yao was struck dumb on the spot, not speaking for quite some time.

“What’s wrong?” Qiao Yun asked, puzzled.

Pei Yao said dramatically yet sincerely, “This is the first time you’ve said ‘thank you for the trouble’ to me. My God, I’m really moved to tears. Have my long efforts finally paid off? Am I not the dummy anymore?”

Qiao Yun: “Shut up.”

Pei Yao: “…”

“Chirp.” (+`#’)+(+-+

…

Qiao Yun hung up the phone and walked back to the living room.

She heard Lu Zhanxing speaking with a voice full of resistance, “Mom, if you want to go, go yourself, I’m not going.”

“What’s the point of me going? Listen to mom, taking a look won’t hurt,” Su Mian said gently.

Qiao Yun came to sit on the couch, her fair little face looking at Lu Zhanxing’s dejected expression, blinked and asked, “Unhappy?”

“Qiaoqiao, you’ve come at the perfect time, please persuade your brother.”

Su Mian said exasperatedly, “It’s just a blind date. Is such a big fuss necessary? It’s not like he’s being asked to marry right away.”

Su Mian was feeling frustrated by Ye Miaoshan, and if she didn’t find something to busy herself with, she’d feel uncomfortable all over.

Then she thought, since Lu Zhanxing was still not well physically and couldn’t run around, it was a good opportunity to set him up on a blind date.

It was also a chance for her to experience the feeling of urging someone to marry.

Qiao Yun asked Lu Zhanxing, “Do you want to have a blind date?”

Lu Zhanxing hadn’t explained yet.

Su Mian said, “Qiaoqiao, don’t you want an additional sister-in-law to dote on you? Later you might even have cute little nephews, though a granddaughter would be nice too, definitely as adorable as Qiaoqiao.”

As Su Mian said this, she was already envisioning the future.

Qiao Yun pursed her lips, her clear eyes gazing at the handsome Lu Zhanxing.

Lu Zhanxing hummed, “Sister, what’s the matter?”

“Nothing,” Qiao Yun shook her head lightly.

She just suddenly realized.

Her kind brother would one day have a family of his own, his own children, more important people in his life.

Qiao Yun felt a slight sense of loss at this realization.

But everyone has their own life.

It’s just…

As long as having other family members doesn’t mean distancing from her, it will be fine.
