Bai Xiao quietly withdrew his hand, "I really can’t afford this stone. I’m going to look over there. But don’t blame me for not warning you; this thing isn’t worth so much. If it gets cut poorly, it’s a big loss."
Liu Chuanfeng didn’t laugh out loud, but the surrounding big shots did.
"Girl, you’re going too far. My eyes are still eyes, and so are the eyes of all these people here. Are you suggesting that we’re all going blind?" The people from Modu were not convinced. This hobby had been a lifetime passion for him; he could live without his life but not without stones.
He had looked over this stone time and again, and the girl’s words were infuriating.
The people from Capital City also spoke up, "You’re not afraid of your tongue snapping from talking big!"
"It’s infuriating!"
"Stone gambling also depends on character. If someone’s character is bad, the stones won’t ’open their eyes.’
"I want to see what kind of stone this girl will pick!"
Bai Xiao, at a loss for words, wondered if he had incited public outrage?
Shang Kaiwen hurried to smooth things over, "Everyone misunderstood, my sister... No, Bai Xiao just speaks without a filter. Please forgive her, considering her young age!" She was constantly trying to link Bai Xiao to their family.
Especially in front of An Zhiyuan! Although she noticed that An Zhiyuan didn’t pay attention to Bai Xiao, instead, he was accompanied by another woman! But such pretentious acts were clear to all. An Zhiyuan was also a prominent young man from Capital City; liking two women wasn’t considered a big deal in their eyes.
Did you notice that Bai Xiao didn’t make a sound herself, playing deaf and dumb? She didn’t want to burn bridges with An Zhiyuan, it seems Bai Xiao wasn’t as principled as I imagined.
Bai Xiao stood in front of Shang Kaiwen, looking her up and down, and all around, making Shang Kaiwen very uncomfortable.
As he roamed around, he also touched his chin and nodded repeatedly, exaggerating his gestures and carrying a sleazy demeanor, which even made Liu Chuanfeng unable to hold back.
Liu Chuanfeng moved to protect Shang Kaiwen, placing her behind him.
"What do you want to do?"
"What do I want to do? I just wanted to see to what extent some people’s shamelessness could reach. Is it thicker than a city wall, or is it that President Shang became the president by being shamelessly pushy? That’s impressive. Who are you to call me sister? Stop falsely recognizing relatives, or I might have to sue you. Spreading false defamation is legally punishable."
Shang Kaiwen’s face turned red instantly.
Being publicly humiliated like this, probably only Bai Xiao could do such a thing. This woman really was seriously outrageous, not even caring about her own face.
Baldy raised his thumb, "Doctor Bai! You’re awesome, my idol. Such pretentious women, only you dare to speak out publicly. Otherwise, so many people would just pretend not to see because of her background and status, while secretly wanting to vomit countless times!"
Bai Xiao suddenly felt that this Baldy really wasn’t too bad, at least he was living authentically.
"Baldy, you really don’t mince words, huh? I didn’t say that; nobody take it personally, please. If you guys want this stone, feel free, feel free!"
Bai Xiao started looking around the exhibition hall; each stone had a price tag. Because they had already been through several rounds of elimination, most of the remaining stones had potential, but what kind of quality they were was another matter. This was the moment to really compete in skill and discernment.
