Chapter 260: She Is the Queen of Jade

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Master w.a.n.g, you must be kidding me. This jade of the pink lotus-root type is worth at least twenty million yuan. Why should I abandon it? Well, I’m not an unreasonable person either. If I win, you don’t have to give this jade of the pink lotus-root type to me, but you have to pay me the same amount of money as its price. The w.a.n.g Family is a well-known super-rich family in City Teng, so I think that twenty million yuan is barely anything to you, right?” Gu Ning said, still in a provocative way.

w.a.n.g Hongming was displeased and slightly mad. Although twenty million yuan truly was nothing for the w.a.n.g Family, he wasn’t willing to give it to a stranger out of the blue.

“Miss Tang, are you sure?” w.a.n.g Hongming asked and threatened.

“Why not? Your granddaughter is the one who proposed the bet, and now she wants to deny it? Don’t you think that it’s shameful?” Gu Ning asked coldly. She wasn’t weak or a chicken.

The crowd burst into discussion at once.

“Exactly! They have no right to do that.”

“The w.a.n.g Family is an influential family. It’s so inappropriate for them to do that.”

“Indeed. I saw Miss w.a.n.g grab the jade of the pink lotus-root type from Miss Tang just then with my own eyes!”

“What? It’s so shameful!”

“It’s not the first time the w.a.n.g Family has done such a thing either.”

…

Although the w.a.n.g Family was powerful, it wasn’t dominant, so many people still dared to discuss it.

Especially the representatives of the jewelry companies, they stood with Gu Ning and weren’t afraid of the w.a.n.g Family at all, because the power behind them was much more influential than the w.a.n.g Family.

w.a.n.g Hongming was embarra.s.sed, but couldn’t vent his anger in public, because it would give others ammunition.

Thus he tried his best to curb his anger and said icily, “Fine, you can continue cutting those raw materials. If you win, I’ll pay you the same amount of money as its price.”

The w.a.n.g Family didn’t lack jade, but it didn’t have many pieces of medium-high-level jade either, so he would rather pay Gu Ning the money and keep the jade.

“Grandpa…” w.a.n.g Xinyan disagreed.

“Shut up! You brought this up, and you must bear the result,” w.a.n.g Hongming snapped. He was now a little annoyed at w.a.n.g Xinyan’s self-willed personality. If she hadn’t made the bet with Gu Ning, it wouldn’t have ended up like this.

“Grandpa, we’re one of the most influential families in City Teng, and my uncle is the vice mayor. Do we have to care about a stranger?” w.a.n.g Xinyan argued, and didn’t hide her intention to threaten Gu Ning at all.

“Oh, so the vice mayor can bully others whenever he wants to? Shouldn’t a government officer be upright and reasonable? Why is your uncle the opposite? Moreover, the vice mayor isn’t the most powerful man in this city. What if someone in a higher position than your uncle finds out about what you’ve done, what will happen to your uncle?” Gu Ning said.

Actually, w.a.n.g Hongming wanted to see whether Gu Ning would panic because of their family’s network, but unexpectedly, Gu Ning wasn’t afraid at all.
