Chapter 48 Buying Jade

  Thank you for kuei's reward, wang150 and xuan shi brothers' reward! Meat stew thank you!

  "Little brother, you... go on, hurry up and leave! It's too expensive!" Although his eyes showed a hint of reluctance, he said firmly.

  "Sister, it's too late to return them now. Besides, these are all small change that I, your younger brother, am offering to you as a sign of respect. Just take them!" Xiao Ye said with a smile.

  "A small amount of money? More than 8,000 is still a small amount of money?" Xiao Yu said in extreme anger.

  After a moment, as if thinking of something, he looked at Xiao Ye with suspicion and asked seriously: "Younger brother, where did you get so much money? You didn't do anything illegal, did you?"

  When he heard his sister ask this, Xiao Yu thought of how their phone call had almost scared him to death yesterday and he forgot to tell them about his earnings when he got back.

  "Hehe, sis, don't worry! I won't do anything illegal! Don't I work at the antique city? Some time ago, I was on a treasure hunt - it was held in our area. That day, I went out for a stroll and picked up a leak (a rare item), sold it for tens of millions! Sis, rest assured that with me around, our family's days will only get more prosperous."

  Xiao Yu thought for a moment and didn't dare to tell his sister that he had gone to Zhongnan Province, got injured, and also didn't dare to tell her that he had sold over 10 million, after all, their place was a small city, hundreds of millions were already a huge sum, let alone over 10 million, in the entire province, those who could take out so much money were absolutely rare.

  If he told her that he had over 10 million, she would be worried every night and couldn't sleep. Although he was extremely unwilling to lie, in order not to worry his family, he decided to tell a white lie.

  "Little brother, are you telling the truth? I feel like I'm in a TV drama."

  Xiao Yu looked at his younger brother, who had been following him since childhood and needed his protection, and after graduating from university, he went out to work and actually earned so much money without a word? Xiao Yu still had some doubts in his heart.

  "Hey, sis, can I tease you? Why aren't you hitting me yet?"

  Xiao Yu's words made Xiao Yu completely put his mind at ease, possibly because he had to protect his younger brother since childhood. As a result, Xiao Yu was more aggressive and intimidating from a young age, and under this influence, his younger brother never dared to deceive him, even though Xiao Yu himself had never been cruel to him.

  "Wow, little brother you're so awesome! Sister's going shopping! Crazy shopping!" Xiao Yu exclaimed excitedly after knowing her brother really had money.

  Upon hearing his sister's words, Xiao Yu's face suddenly turned into a bitter melon, thinking to himself 'Aren't you tired? It's already been two hours,' of course, this was something he only dared to think in his heart.

  Looking at her brother's bitter face, Xiao Yu's mouth curved into a shallow smile with a hint of slyness, saying: "Little brother, you look like a bitter melon, aren't you afraid that I'll spend your money?" After finishing, she deliberately showed a hurt expression.

  Xiao Ye heard this, and his bitter expression immediately disappeared, a smile blooming on his face like a flower. He chuckled and said, "How dare I? If sister wants to spend money, it's my honor!"

  An hour later, Xiao Yu stopped shopping, while Xiao Ye proudly held five or six bags in his hand. Of course, Xiao Yu didn't buy those brand-name clothes, most of what he bought were just a few hundred yuan, Xiao Ye had wanted to take his sister to the boutique to buy some, but his sister refused, saying that as long as the clothes could be worn, it was fine, why spend so much money? In fact, Xiao Ye knew that his sister was trying to help him save money.

  Xiao Yu looked at his brother, who was holding five or six bags, and left the fourth floor very satisfied. Xiao Ye was really tired of shopping, so as soon as he arrived on the fourth floor, he saw a counter and stayed there, saying he wouldn't leave no matter what. Xiao Yu had no choice but to help his brother pick out two sets.

  After buying it, Xiao Yu was pulled by his sister to a boutique and took down a set of formal wear, letting him try it on.

  Seeing the formal wear in his sister's hands, Xiao Yu felt a headache coming on and pitifully said to his sister: "Sis, don't buy these clothes, you also know I never wear this kind of thing!"

  "No way, you have to buy it today. What will you wear on the blind date if you don't? Casual clothes?" Xiao Yu looked at her brother's pitiful expression without showing any mercy.

  "What? What did you say, sister? Blind date?" Xiao Yu exclaimed.

  Seeing her brother's shocked expression, Xiao Yu quickly covered her mouth. She had forgotten that Xiao Ye didn't know yet. Originally, she and her mother had planned to tell him on the day of the blind date, but unexpectedly, she had let it slip out just now.

  "Sister......what's going on?" Xiao Yu drew out a long tone.

  "Uh... uh... ask your mom about it, she arranged everything!" Xiao Yu said with embarrassment.

  "Pack up this set of clothes!" Xiao Yu said to the salesperson.

  Pay by card, take the clothes and leave. Xiao Yu did it in one go, without any delay. Seeing Xiao Ye's gloomy face, she felt it was necessary to hurry back and tell her mother, so that her mother could think of a solution. Since they had already promised the other party, what would happen if he didn't show up?

  Xiao Yu hurried to the elevator with something in hand, and when she arrived at the elevator, she saw Xiao Ye still lingering there, shouting: "Hurry up! Let's go home!"

  "Oh... sister, you go back first! Isn't Hanghai's birthday tomorrow? I'll go pick out a gift for him later!"

  Xiao Yu came back to his senses and said to his sister, who was already walking towards the elevator. Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said: "Then hurry up, it's almost time for lunch!"

  When Xiao Yu and his friends were over a year old, their uncles would give them gifts. Originally, Xiao Yu wanted to help his younger brother who was alone outside and thought it wouldn't be easy for him, especially since he was a big boy in a place where money was needed everywhere, so he wanted to help his younger brother prepare well and go directly tomorrow. However, thinking that his younger brother now had money, he didn't say anything.

  After his sister left, Xiao Yu walked alone to the second floor and came to the Jade Stone District.

  Talismans can be refined on yellow paper, special beast skins, and jade stones. Of course, the materials are different, and the effective time and power of the talismans are also different. Jade is the best, beast skin is second, and yellow paper is the worst. To make one for his nephew, he would naturally choose the best, so Xiao Ye came to the Jade Stone District to select some.

  In the Jade District, looking at the dazzling jade stones, Xiao Yu slowly began to examine them. After merging with Zhong Kui's memories, because Zhong Kui had been refining talismans for many years, Xiao Yu could distinguish between good and bad quality jade stones at a glance.

  Xiao Yu walked past one counter after another, only to find that although there were many jade stones here, their quality was extremely poor. He even saw a pendant made directly from glass.

  Xiao Ye turned the entire Jade Stone District, but didn't find a suitable jade stone. The jade stones here are mostly hard jade, also known as emerald, while the best for refining talismans is soft jade, especially the white sheep fat jade.

  Xiao Yu turned back and returned to a small counter that specialized in selling soft jade, where the decorations were mostly green jade and celadon jade, with only a few pieces of white jade, which were ordinary white jade. After looking for half a day, Xiao Yu didn't see any sheep fat white jade, so he revealed a faint smile and said to the service staff: "Is your manager here? If so, please call him over!"

  "Wait a minute! Let me ask!"

  The shop assistant looked at Xiao Yu with a suspicious expression. Earlier, she had seen Xiao Yu walking past here without any intention of buying anything. Moreover, looking at Xiao Yu's attire, he didn't seem like someone who could afford to buy jade. The cheapest piece of jade here cost over a thousand yuan, and the expensive ones were already in the tens of thousands! In this city, an ordinary worker's salary was only a little over a thousand yuan. And she rarely saw people dressed as simply as Xiao Yu coming to buy jade.

  Although the waiter did not believe that Xiao Yu could afford the jade, he still picked up the phone and dialed the manager's number. After connecting, the waiter occasionally glanced at Xiao Yu while talking on the phone. Not long after, the waiter hung up the phone and walked over to Xiao Yu, saying: "Please wait for a moment, our manager will be here soon!"

  In less than ten minutes, a big-bellied man walked over.

  "Director Chen! This gentleman is looking for you!" The waiter slightly bowed to Director Chen, then pointed at Xiao Ye.

  "Hello... hello... I don't know what this young brother wants from me?" Although he looked at Xiao Ye wearing not very well and young, he had already passed the age of judging people by their appearance! So he knew that Xiao Ye might not be able to afford jade, but still treated him with courtesy.

  Moreover, some rich people wear ordinary clothes and drive ordinary cars. These are truly wealthy people.

  "I don't know if President Chen has any better jade here, preferably sheep fat white jade." said Xiao Ye.
