As soon as Dong Xuelian heard Feng Ruoxuan's words, she could not help but gloat at Song Yan's misfortune. Who asked this woman to find trouble with her? With just one glance she could see that Song Yan actually used the stone that she threw at her. Was she really an idiot? To take an ordinary stone as important just because she said so? Even if she was a rookie, she should not be this bad, right?
Fu Rong could not help but turn to look at Feng Ruoxuan with an annoyed look on her face. She parted her lips and then said harshly, " Feng Ruoxuan, there is no need to say such words is it? Even if it's a dud, my sister-in-law paid for it. If she returns it and stops the cutting, the money is not going to be returned to her pocket anyway, why is it that you are asking her to stop?"
Feng Ruoxuan did not expect Fu Rong to contradict her like this, she pursed her lips and then said with a soft voice, " I am sorry if my words offended you, Ah Rong. I just think that your sister-in-law is wasting the time of others by stubbornly insisting to cut a stone that has nothing inside it."
" Thats right," one of Feng Ruoxuan's lackeys suddenly spoke up from behind as she contemptuously glared at Song Yan. " Everyone knows that your sister-in-law is not an expert compared to Sister Ruoxuan, she is like a pebble in the mud! Sister Ruoxuan is being kind enough by advising her lest she is embarrassed later on!"
A few of the experts who were waiting for their chance also could not help but bob their heads in agreement.
" Thats right lady, we all are here to cut our stone. Instead of stubbornly stating that there is jade in this useless rock, why don't you give up?"
" Exactly!" Another man chimed up from the side. " This rock looks like a boulder to me, maybe the shop workers made a mistake and brought it back with them. Listen to our advice and stop, maybe you can still ask for your money back."
" You… Chu Nanzhi, you better watch your mouth!" On the other hand, Fu Rong could see that Chu Nanzhi was trying to step on her sister-in-law to suck up Feng Ruoxuan. Her eyes turned red as she shouted, " My sister-in-law is much better than the likes of you! You are just an illegitimate daughter who relies on her sweet words to keep her footing in the Chu house. Who are you to compare my sister to? Whoever she might be, she is a hundred times better than you!"
When Chu Nanzhi heard Fu Rong's words, she was so angry that she wanted to fight with Fu Rong but she was stopped by Song Yan.
" This lady seems to have a lot of opinions about me?" She raised a brow and then looked at Ch Nanzhi who stiffened under Song Yan's cold glare. She wanted to say something but under immense pressure, she could not open her mouth.
Song Yan did not give her a chance to speak and stated coldly, " I have given money just like everyone else. Why is it that everyone else is allowed to cut the stones in peace but when it comes to me it's a waste of time? If it's a waste of time then this shop might as well be closed since they refuse to do what they are supposed to do. The stone that I bought belongs to this gambling den, whether big or small it is supposed to be cut and handled by the shop, does Miss Feng think that just because the stone is big, it's a bad thing and a waste of time?"
" If so, then it's the fault of the store for keeping such big stones, are you going to fight for justice with the gambling den now?"
Feng Ruoxuan stiffened. She only wanted to act solicitously just now and embarrass Song Yan, she did not mean to get dragged into a bigger mess!
Seeing that the shop owner was looking at her with slight annoyance, she could only grit her teeth and say, " I did not mean that sister in law, I just think that your stone is a normal one. I don't want you to be upset that is why I asked you to give up. I did not mean anything else."
" You might not mean it but your friend did seem to mean something," Song Yan did not push Feng Ruoxuan instead she turned to Chu Nanzhi who was barking at her for her master. Since this woman liked to bark like a dog so much then it was time for her to learn that she could also be beaten.
Chu Nanzhi was slightly embarrassed when pointed out by Song Yan. At the same time, she hated Song Yan for harping, she only said a few words what was the point of hanging on it? She could have just moved past the matter, all right?
" So what, did I say anything wrong?" Chu Nanzhi did not want to step back so she could only stubbornly quibble with Song Yan.
" Of course not but what if this stone really has a jade?" Song Yan questioned. " If the stone is opened completely and we find a green inside it then you would have to kowtow to me and apologize. I am afraid that as the matriarch of the Fu family, I cannot allow you to compare me to any Tom, Dick and Harry," she paused and added, " Of course, I have no harsh meaning towards you."
lightsΝοvεl ƈοm Feng Ruoxuan could only smile stiffly. She did not know what to say anymore, even if she was to quibble she would only make herself look like a fool.
When Chu Nanzhi heard Song Yan's words, she was so angry that she trembled but she did not want to let Song Yan have the upper hand, so she sneered and coldly said, " Fine but that jade has to be an imperial jade! If not I will not lower my head! I am the young miss of the Chu family, no one can take my kowtow!"
