Chapter 1200: Foolishness
Bai Xiang once again gave Xia Liu a warning.
Although these families are not martial artist families, the abilities they possess are not weaker than those of martial artist families.
Moreover, the Fang Family and Xiao Family both have many martial artists under their wings.
If you really offend these two families.
Xia Liu might as well prepare to be crippled.
"Jingyun, don't listen to this guy's nonsense. If you like it, buy it. I'll pay for you."
Fang Yan stepped in front of Xiao Jingyun under everyone's gaze and handed over a bouquet to Xiao Jingyun from his attendant.
"Showing off, huh!"
"Who is this girl, being able to afford five million, definitely not from an ordinary family."
"Even Young Master Fang is so attentive. This girl's background must be extraordinary!"
...
Many present had never seen Xiao Jingyun and were quite curious about her.
Now with Fang Yan giving her flowers, her identity became even more mysterious.
"Young Master Fang, you buy it if you like. I don't need it for now."
Xiao Jingyun showed no mercy to Fang Yan.
She felt no affection whatsoever for this spoiled young master.
"Jingyun, don't be fooled by the sweet words of certain people. Judging by my observation, some people's faces surely have been touched by the knife."
Fang Yan didn't name names, but his gaze was fixed on Xia Liu.
"This has nothing to do with him. I've suddenly lost interest. Are you saying I can't change my mind, Young Master Fang?"
"Wouldn't dare, wouldn't dare, but earlier seeing that you liked it, should I buy it for you?"
Xiao Jingyun's cold demeanor left Fang Yan without the slightest temper.
This amazed the onlookers.
When did the most spoiled young master in Nanyun City ever bow his head?
Xiao Jingyun was indeed beautiful, but not to the Supreme-Grade level that would leave people helpless.
As the young master of the Fang Family, Fang Yan would put aside his stature and pride, only for one reason: Xiao Jingyun's background is extraordinary!
"Boss, how much is this stone? Arrange to have it opened on the spot for me."
Not waiting for Xiao Jingyun to respond, Fang Yan turned to the boss.
"Deserving to be Young Master Fang, such guts are truly frightening!"
"Awesome! I want to be so rich too!"
"Impressive!"
...
In response to Fang Yan's actions, everyone gave thumbs up; rich people are awesome, buying whatever they want, however they want.
Fang Yan's gaze was fixed directly on Xia Liu.
If you want to compete with him for women, go earn a few billion first.
A mouth alone doesn't accomplish anything!
"Foolish."
Xia Liu quietly muttered a word, and everyone understood whom he meant.
All eyes turned to Fang Yan, anticipating his reaction.
"Say nothing!"
"Young Master Fang, what I say should be my own business, why are you taking it personally?"
Seeing Xia Liu's frustrated expression, Fang Yan instantly exploded with anger, glaring ferociously at Xia Liu, wishing he could shred him.
Yet seeing the change in Xiao Jingyun's expression, Fang Yan backed off a bit, then focused his gaze on the booth owner.
"I'll let you know who's really foolish; this material definitely has goods!"
Fang Yan had considerable experience in gemstone trading.
In this affair, he wouldn't lose to Xia Liu.
After all, his experience came from burning money up to now.
However, what raised suspicion was that the booth owner seemed a bit hesitant, apparently afraid to face Fang Yan.
"Boss, it's five million, right? Help me move it to the front opening area, even if it's not Supreme Grade goods it's alright."
Fang Yan's aggressive tone meant like saying, I've got money, it's not the best goods, anything's fine as long as there's something.
If the raw material contains goods, then Xia Liu's claim will be crushed.
In that case, Xiao Jingyun will see his true colors.
"Young Master Fang, you're a VIP of the trading venue. I can't charge you that much, fifty thousand is enough."
After thinking for a while, the booth owner said with a smile.
"Fifty thousand!"
Upon hearing this amount, many present were shocked.
From five million down to three hundred thousand, even considering Fang Yan's formidable background.
Even if he is a VIP of the trading room, no booth owner would drop the price to this degree.
If they do, there's definitely some shadiness involved.
Perhaps, this raw material truly is fake as Xia Liu said!
The onlookers weren't fools, quite the opposite—they were shrewd.
The booth owner's words instantly sparked significant doubts.
Now this stone, even at the price of ten thousand, none of them would buy it.
Xiao Jingyun's face grew serious.
She already believed Xia Liu's words—the stone definitely has no goods inside.
The booth owner is faking it!
Fang Yan's face was filled with frustration.
He's not a fool; this situation clearly proves the problem with the raw material.
He felt swindled!
"I'll give you one chance, what's going on with this stone?"
Fang Yan angrily pointed at the booth owner, and the two bodyguards accompanying him immediately came forward.
This arrangement directly frightened the booth owner.
The booth owner immediately knelt on the ground: "Young Master Fang, I didn't mean to deceive you, it was truly unintentional!"
This owner almost burst into tears.
The stone had been modified over countless days to reach its current form.
With favorable luck, scamming a million wasn't out of the question; yet he encountered Fang Yan.
If he really scammed this guy, the outcome would surely be a death sentence!
When Fang Yan voiced his intent to purchase the raw material, he knew he was done for.
In a moment of panic, he dropped the price to thirty thousand, planning to run away if Fang Yan paid.
Scamming Fang Yan for thirty thousand—the Fang Family's financial power should prevent them from pursuing.
Unfortunately, the booth owner chickened out in the end.
He was scared stiff by Fang Yan's presence.
Now there's no courage to continue; he quickly begged for mercy, hoping to spare his life.
"Damn!"
Fang Yan's expression instantly changed.
This time, it was pure embarrassment!
Embarrassed in front of the woman he pursued!
"Forget it, Young Master Fang, you haven't lost anything. Just be more careful next time when buying."
"Thank you, miss, thank you, miss. I promise not to fake it again in the future!"
The booth owner immediately kowtowed gratefully, recognizing the weight of Xiao Jingyun's words!
"Damn! A swindler!"
"Damn it! A real swindler!"
"That handsome guy sure has sharp eyes!"
"Right! That handsome guy is amazing, being able to tell the stone is fake!"
...
After hearing the booth owner's confirmation, everyone searched for Xia Liu's figure.
To identify the fake material at a glance requires considerable skill.
Fang Yan's gaze was extremely intense.
In their first clash, he had lost outright!
Utterly defeated!
He wished he could kill the booth owner on the spot.
But Xiao Jingyun gave him an immediate pardon.
Fang Yan was seething, but helpless; after calming down, he suddenly said: "Hmph! You think I didn't know you were faking it? If you hadn't admitted just now, a ten-year sentence would have been lenient."
