Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Etiquette? I Only Speak of Strength! Third Update
Getting out of the car, he looked up at the sign above the entrance and read out loud, "Yongxing Jade Market."
"Senior sister, you’re not thinking of having me pick out jade for you, right?" Piecing together what Su Yumei had said about needing to borrow his eyes, Chen Wei immediately guessed her true purpose.
"You got it, you’re still so clever." Su Yumei poked Chen Wei’s face with her hand, "The Cai Family sent me an invitation asking me to attend the Family Master’s birthday banquet. No matter what, they are one of the four great families, and I have to give them that much respect."
"The Cai Family..."
Hearing this, Su Yumei seemed to discern something and asked, "What? Did something happen between you and the Cai Family?"
"Senior sister, let’s walk and talk."
"Okay."
On the way, Chen Wei told her about the little incident between him and the Cai Family while at the Han Family.
"I see, Cai Yuancheng is a prideful and stubborn man; he probably detests you now, but..."
Su Yumei wasn’t worried at all because she knew Chen Wei had leverage over Cai Yuancheng, "His sickness can only be cured by you, and he’s well aware of that, so he absolutely wouldn’t dare to mess with you. At the birthday party, I will also make clear the relationship between you and me. If Cai Yuancheng still dares to make a move against you, from that point on, the Cai Family might as well cease to exist."
River City’s four great families? Sounds impressive in name only. If Su Yumei wanted, she had plenty of ways to effectively erase the Cai Family’s name!
"Thanks for having my back, senior sister." Chen Wei let out a sly grin, hugged Su Yumei’s arm, and leaned on her shoulder.
"Do I even need to say it? I’m your senior sister; if I don’t look after you, who will?" Su Yumei raised her hand and gently patted Chen Wei’s head.
"Regarding the jade, since it’s a gift from you, the standard certainly can’t be low; it has to match your status." Chen Wei analyzed.
"I really don’t understand much about this area. Since the Head of the Cai Family seems to like jade so much, I wouldn’t have bothered you otherwise," Su Yumei said, understanding the importance of giving gifts that cater to the recipient’s tastes.
There was no need to burn bridges with the Cai Family just yet; naturally, she had to be more attentive.
"Don’t worry, leave this matter to me. I guarantee to make you the most eye-catching presence in the entire event," Chen Wei confidently patted his chest and promised.
"Then I’m really counting on you," Su Yumei said with a smile.
"Miss, please wait, you’re looking to select some jade, right?" Suddenly, a person emerged from behind and appeared in front of Chen Wei and Su Yumei, blocking their path.
This person did not look like a vendor from the Jade Market, dressed quite lavishly—a garb that would cost tens of thousands at the least. Who would wear such attire to set up a street stall?
Or perhaps he was one of those shop owners.
"Do you have connections?" Su Yumei asked in response.
"Of course, here’s my card. Please take it," the man handed the card only to Su Yumei, his gaze fixed on her the entire time.
Su Yumei took the card and read, "Ding Yifan, Master Appraiser..."
"That’s correct!" The man puffed out his chest and introduced himself with pride, "Ding Yifan, there’s no one in this area who understands jade better than I do—be it stone gambling or jade appraising, I can handle it flawlessly."
"Do you know what they call me?" Ding Yifan asked.
"What do they call you?" Su Yumei followed up on Ding Yifan’s words, avoiding any awkwardness and affording him some dignity.
"They call me clairvoyant vision because my eyes are like they can see through everything, accurately identifying which rough stones contain jade," Ding Yifan said, lifting his head higher and higher, as if reaching for the sky, lucky it was attached to his neck.
"Clairvoyant vision? That impressive huh? Then can you see through whether I’m wearing briefs or boxers today?" Chen Wei suddenly asked.
"You, how can you speak with such a lack of manners!" Ding Yifan simply couldn’t understand why Su Yumei would let such a ruffian follow her; he was absolutely not a match for Su Yumei’s temperament!
"Manners? I only speak of strength. You think you’ve got a little skill and now want to chat me up, you’re really overestimating yourself," Chen Wei reached out, grabbed Su Yumei’s waist, and pulled her into his embrace.
Su Yumei knew that Chen Wei was assertive, but she hadn’t expected him to behave like this in the middle of the street.
Seeing Su Yumei submit without a hint of resistance, Ding Yifan felt even more imbalance in his heart, "What, do you think your jade appraisal skills are stronger than mine?"
"I wouldn’t dare claim anything else, but I do have the level to beat you handily."
That still counts as not daring to say?
"Beat me handily? You really dare say that! Fine, dare you make a bet? If you lose, disappear from my sight immediately!" As long as Chen Wei was out of the way, Ding Yifan felt that with his looks and talent, capturing a woman like Su Yumei would be as easy as flipping over his hand.
"Bet on what?" Chen Wei just wanted to drive this annoying fly away from Su Yumei as soon as possible.
Ding Yifan looked around, then pointed at a stone gambling stall that displayed rough stones and began to introduce the rules of the game, "Let’s see who can select the most valuable jade from this pile of rough stones."
"Wait a moment," Chen Wei let go of Su Yumei’s waist.
"Mhm." Su Yumei obediently nodded her head.
Chen Wei walked over to the stone stall, casually picked up a stone, and asked the owner, "How much for this one?"
"Three hundred."
Chen Wei directly scanned a QR code and transferred three hundred to the owner.
Turning to face Ding Yifan, he said, "Your turn."
"I didn’t expect you to concede so quickly." In Ding Yifan’s view, Chen Wei’s behavior was no different from surrendering without a fight.
If stone gambling were really this simple, where one doesn’t even look but picks up a stone and can cut a fine quality jade from it, wouldn’t everyone be a billionaire?
Ding Yifan opened a box, took out a magnifying glass, and a powerful flashlight, and began to scrutinize each stone intensely, spending a long time on every single one of them.
"Can you hurry up? Don’t you have clairvoyant vision?" Chen Wei was getting impatient.
"What’s the rush? I’m not as amateurish as you!" Ding Yifan regretted choosing this stall—it was filled with nothing but worthless rough stones.
After looking over forty or fifty pieces, having examined almost every stone big and small, he could only select one with mediocre color and quality that barely qualified as a piece of jade.
He was worried that this would make Su Yumei think he only had this much ability.
"But it’ll have to do. I—" Ding Yifan really couldn’t find any rough stone better than the one he held in his hand. He rose to his feet; he had been squatting for too long, and his legs were slightly numb, "I... I’ll choose this one."
"This one is five hundred."
You’re saying this piece is worth five hundred?
Ding Yifan really wanted to bargain, yet he didn’t want Su Yumei to see him as stingy.
After weighing his options internally, he swallowed his words and paid promptly.
"Here you go, I’ll have him cut the stones for the both of us. Although there’s no need, I must make you lose convincingly," said Ding Yifan, his smile cold as he extended his hand to Chen Wei.
