Of course, she had the manuscript, but she had already lent it to someone else.
She naturally wanted to continue lending said manuscript to the person. The last thing she wanted was to hand that one over to Yang Nian all for this bet.
It was why she was thinking of the object that she could take out that Yang Nian wouldn’t be able to. That’s why she’s been so conflicted.
What was she going to choose? Her eyebrows were furrowed over as she stroked her chin.
This was a difficult choice.
Yao Tang’s face appeared a little conflicted. Qin Jing was busy gazing at her phone every few seconds, waiting for her brother’s reply. Lin Xinwas also busy typing into her phone.
Their anxious expressions made Yang Nian feel a bit relieved.
They certainly wouldn’t be able to take out the item he had proposed. After all, not everyone had a violin manuscript score propped in their homes. It required a certain foundation in the music community and a lot of money to acquire one.
He crossed his arms over his chest. “How about you? What is it do you want me to acquire?”
Yao Tang still had a conflicted look on her face. She, at first, wanted to say the Black Gold Diamond Card from Tian Run Mall—the very same card she had. However, her phone rang, and several messages popped up in her screen.
She immediately changed her mind.
“I want City D’s….”
As she spoke, the entire room was quiet. Everyone was listening attentively to what she had to say.
What was she going to choose?
Qin Jing and Lin Xinshared worried glances. If she had asked for something that was too ordinary, Yang Nianwould obviously be able to acquire it.
City D was quite far from here though. Perhaps Yao Tang was trying to take advantage of the distance.
However, for someone as affluent as Yang Nian, the distance wouldn’t be a problem at all. He could get his hands on items all the way from Europe if he wanted to.
The Yang Family was incredibly powerful, with businesses spread around the globe. Whatever she’d say, he’d be sure to get his hands on the item by the afternoon.
Then, she said, “Tombstone.”
Qin Jing and Lin Xin both took a deep breath.
They certainly didn’t expect her to say that.
Even Yang Nian had to do a double take, believing that he had heard it wrong.
He had expected her to say something valuable like an antique or a pink diamond. He didn’t expect her to say a tombstone.
Before he could say anything, she added, “A carved tombstone from the Liu Family.”
The Liu Family was an aristocratic family that specialized in hand-carved tombstones. However, they only ever carved tombstones for those who had already proven to have made outstanding contributions to this country. It was an object inherited and passed down from one member to the other. It was an honor to be given such a special item.
Yang Nian instantly fell into deep thought.
He definitely didn’t have this.
Even if he used his family’s influence, the results wouldn’t grant him a sure win.
Although many things could be bought and sold in the market, this type of tombstone was difficult to acquire.
Even if they were to go to the cemetery, to find a tombstone that had been carved by the Liu Family themselves was almost impossible.
They would naturally be heavily guarded and well-hidden. Unless he knew someone, it would be impossible to spot one on a common gravesite.
Even if he knew someone, who would allow him to take it?
Why would Yao Tang even have such a thing?
It was strange.
“Student Yao Tang, we’ve already made a deal,” he slowly said. “You must also have the item that you’ve requested. That’s one of the prerequisites of this bet.”
She nodded. “I have it.”
Everyone gazed at her in surprise.
“Yao Tang, you’re really certain that you have it?” Yang Nian shrugged. “You don’t have to do this just because you wanted to win.”
The tombstones were only available in D City, so how would she be able to bring one back?
How could she have acquired one in the first place?
That in itself was extremely unlikely.
However, her gaze was cold and her face remained unmoved. “I really do have one,” she said again, waving her hand dismissively.
