Chapter 100 — Sell into a Brothel (1/2)
Xiao Xi blinked her eyes, give it to her? Is there such a good thing?
Okay!
Since the owner of this jade shop despises her so much and thinks that she is a poor girl, she will give him a hard time to irritate him!
”Boss, you better stay true to your words! Everybody's watching. When the time comes get ready to lose some face.”
Xiao Xi smiled and took out a thousand liang from her person and shook them before his eyes.
”Well, this little lady can really pull out a thousand liang, certainly from a rich household, this time Chen Heixin really lost a lot.”
”Indeed, I see that the silver note the little lady is holding is worth even more than a thousand liang. There could even be more than a few thousand liang worth of silver notes in there! Chen Heixin's jade hairpin will be given to the little lady.”
”Calm down, don't forget to breathe, ha ha ha…”
”No way, ha ha ha ha…”
Onlookers who just watches deals with no consequence, everybody chimes in their thoughts, making the owner of the jade shop, Chen Heixin, the b.u.t.t of the joke.
The owner of the jade shop had an ugly expression, he glared angrily at the people standing watch at the door, ”What are you laughing at? What's so funny? You dogs, scram. If you can't afford it, then don't stand at the door blocking the customers from entering themy shop.”
”Chen Heixin, you act like a sn.o.b. Today you lost to the hands of a little girl and you still don't give the jade hairpin to her? Do you want to be called Shameless Chen?
”Shameless, just very shameless. You are the only one in the entire capital to be t.i.tled Shameless Chen. Ha ha ha ha…”
Everyone around here knows that the owner of the jade shop is a black-hearted man. They aremore or less upset with him, his business was going well and so he looks down on others. But to see him now, as he fell in Xiao Xi's hand, how can everyone let go of this chance to laugh at him heartlessly? Who's going to defend him?
”All of you shut up.”
The owner of the jade shop had a gloomy expression, he threw a glare at Xiao Xi and put the jade hairpin in her hand, ”It's yours, now get lost!”
Xiao Xi clicked her tongue, now holding the hairpin on her hand, she smashed it to the ground and broke it into pieces.
When the people saw this scene, they all stopped laughing. Even the owner of the jade shop was rendered speechless by Xiao Xi's sudden display.
”This cheap thing is not worth my attention.” After a pause, Xiao Xi spoke again, ”Selfishness is a disease, go cure it. Otherwise, this shop will be off of your hands sooner or later.”
After saying that, Xiao Xi walked away with Ling Er in her arms.
The crowd gave way and looked admiringly at Xiao Xi's departing figure. This little lady is remarkable.
After Xiao Xi left, people continued to sneer at the owner of the jade shop, leaving him seething with anger.
Xiao Xi went towards the Regent's Palace with Ling Er in her arms. After such an spectacle with the owner of the jade shop, she was in no mood to continue shopping.
Suddenly, someone b.u.mped into Xiao Xi's shoulder.
”Sorry, sorry, my mistake.” After that, the man trotted away.
Xiao Xi frowned and touched her sore shoulder with her small hand. Does this person not look where he's walking?
Suddenly, Ling Er jumped down from Xiao Xi's arms and chased after the man.
”Ling Er, don't run ah!”
Xiao Xi hurried to catch up with Ling Er.
The man who just b.u.mped into Xiao Xi heard the commotion behind him and ran faster.
Seeing his reaction, Xiao Xi reflects on the situation, that person… If he were to steal her silver notes, Ling Er will undoubtedly give chase.
Soon, the man ran into an empty alleyway, and Ling Er bit into his leg. Immediately, blood leaked out, staining his whole leg. He could not shake Ling Er off at all.
”I'll give you the money back. So tell it to let go!”
When the man saw Xiao Xi coming, his face was riddled with fear and pain. He took out the silver notes stolen from Xiao Xi and pleaded.
”Ling Er, stop biting, let go.”
Xiao Xi sees the man take the initiative to take out the stolen silver notes to beg for mercy, so she pardoned him because she was not an unforgiving person.
Ling Er heard Xiao Xi's voice, loosened its bite on the man's legs, leaped up, and threw her claws at the man's hand that was holding the silver notes. The frightened man quickly loosened his hold on the silver notes and ran away with a pale face.
Ling Er trotter over to Xiao Xi with the silver notes in its mouth. Seeing this made Xiao Xi smile, what Zi Yi had given her….. was truly a treasure.
Suddenly a net fell from the sky, trapping Ling Er within it. Xiao Xi immediately got a bad feeling, she ran over towards Ling Er and tried to get the net off. Behind her, someone took advantage of her being caught off guard and hit her acupuncture point.
Xiao Xi stood there unable to move, she slid her pupils to the side and said, ”Big brother, if you come for money, you can take away those silver notes, so please let me and my pet go.”
The person behind her only replied with boisterous laughter, but from the voice, she could tell that it was a man.
”Boss, this little girl is so good-looking, if we sell her to a brothel we can get a lot of profit, ha ha ha…”
”Junior brother is right. The brothel keeper of G.o.ddess Pavilion asked me a few days ago if I had any excellent little beauty. She was willing to spend a thousand gold to buy a beautiful little beauty. Isn't this little beauty just right?”
