Chapter 385 - Slowly Teach Her A Lesson (1/2)

Xiang Caiping was not wearing a pleasant expression at all. At this moment, she had completely lost all interest in purchasing this jade pendant.

She lifted her arms to shake off Madam Luo’s and Madam Song’s grip, attempting to get away from them. However, their hands remained clasped around hers tightly.

“What are you doing?”

Besides the ugly look on her face, Xiang Caiping’s voice was extremely cold too. She glared at Su Peizhen, thinking that this girl was absolutely detestable.

“Tell them to let me go.”

“Auntie. The boss is here already. Didn’t you want to buy this? Why aren’t you interested anymore?”

Su Peizhen’s scornful laughter was jarring to the ears. Xiang Caiping had already lost all interest in buying the pendant, but now she was just pissed off.

“Su Peizhen, don’t push it.”

“Oh, Auntie, just look at yourself. How am I pushing this? Didn’t I say that I’d buy this for you as a gift? Don’t be ungrateful.”

“I don’t need you to buy me anything as a gift.” Xiang Caiping glared at Su Peizhen. This girl must have grown up wrongly somehow — she shouldn’t have any connection to her at all.

Su Chenghui was such a modest gentleman when he was young, yet now he had a daughter like that.

Xiang Caiping lamented her fate, and suddenly, the idea of educating Su Peizhen dawned upon her.

“Miss Su, as someone who has clearly lived longer than you, I would like to give you some advice. Don’t just look at the surface of things, whether it concerns a person or something else — if you don’t understand, you’re better off keeping your mouth shut.”

“You—” Su Peizhen never expected to be chided by a homewrecker like Xiang Caiping. “What did you say?”

Xiang Caiping gave Madam Luo and Madam Song a cold look. She had not bothered to maintain her appearance in these last few years, so she appeared to look much older than she really was.

Facing a glare like that, Madam Luo and Madam Song couldn’t help but release their grip on her.

Xiang Caiping glanced at the jade pendant on the countertop. “Sir, from what your shop assistant told me earlier, the price of this jade pendant after the discount is 440,000. I don’t like this number at all. I’m interested in buying this jade Buddha as a gift to somebody else. Tell me straight — is it possible to sell it at 390,000? If it’s possible, I’ll swipe my card right away.”

The shopkeeper stopped short before returning her gaze. The quality of this jade pendant was indeed great. It was just that he did not expect Xiang Caiping to be so committed to buying it.

“You can’t? That’s fine, then.” Xiang Caiping had really liked that jade Buddha, but it wasn’t like she couldn’t live without purchasing it. She still could afford to get something nice at the price she was willing to pay.

“Sorry to interrupt.”

“Yes, we can negotiate the price. Your offer sounds good to me.” The shopkeeper said as he wiped away the non-existent sweat on his forehead. “For Miss Su’s friend, I can make a discount.”

Xiang Caiping was already meaning to take out her card to make the payment but stopped short when she heard that. “Sir, sell it only if you’re willing to. Don’t feel like you need to make any special discount for me. I don’t want any favors.”

“That—”

The shopkeeper felt that he could neither agree nor disagree.

Su Peizhen and her entourage stood there without uttering a word. They didn’t intend to say anything more for the moment.

“It seems like it is impossible, then. If that’s the case, I don’t think we have a deal.”

Xiang Caiping had an indifferent expression on her face and did not intend to stay any longer. She turned around and started to head out.

Madam Luo and Madam Song both sneaked a glance at Su Peizhen, clearly waiting for her reaction.

Su Peizhen watched Xiang Caiping’s back and sneered, “If you can’t afford it, just admit it. Why do you need to justify it by saying you don’t want any favors from me?”

She turned around and gazed at Bo Gu Zhai’s shopkeeper. “Sir, you don’t have to take my presence into account. Just tell this lady if you’re willing to sell the jade piece at the price she offered or not.”

“Miss Su, look at the way you phrased it.”

The shopkeeper could finally tell the animosity between Su Peizhen and the woman just now.
