Chapter 11
“Thirty thousand? Are you kidding? I’ll give you 50 thousand, young girl . ”
“Sixty thousand,” another man bid .
“Seventy thousand . ”
“Eighty thousand . ”
…
“One hundred and twenty thousand!”
Everyone was shocked again . One hundred and twenty thousand for a blue and white porcelain bracelet from Ming and Qing Dynasty was way too much .
Gu Ning was shocked as well . This was her first time to sell an antique . She knew antiques were expensive, but the price was still a great surprise to her .
She thought forty thousand would be high enough, because the power of this bracelet wasn’t strong . It wasn’t worth too much because it had a short history .
One hundred and twenty thousand meant nothing for Gu Ning in her last lifetime, but for now, it was a huge amount of money .
In the end, Gu Ning sold the bracelet for 120 thousand yuan .
Although everyone felt surprised by the high price, only experts knew this bracelet was worth much more than that in the market .
A bracelet made of blue and white porcelain from Ming and Qing Dynasty, even from a broken one, was expensive .
Nowadays, a blue and white porcelain plate from Ming and Qing Dynasty was worth millions of yuan . The price of this bracelet wouldn’t be lower than 200 thousand in the market .
Though Gu Ning wasn’t experienced, and had no idea how much exactly this bracelet was worth, she wouldn’t regret .
She needed money right now, and had no time to wait for a more generous buyer .
Besides, she didn’t know how to put this bracelet into the market .
There was a designated bank in the antique market . One needed to go to the bank for the money .
Gu Ning didn’t have a bank card, but her ID card, so she had one bank card on-site .
When she had received the money, she gave the bracelet to the buyer, and the service fee was transferred to the appraiser afterwards .
The service fee ranged from hundreds to thousands . It depended on the seller .
What Gu Ning had earned wasn’t much in the antique industry, so she only needed to pay two thousand yuan .
But Gu Ning was generous, who directly paid the appraiser 10 thousand .
When she had left the bank, Gu Ning felt she was targeted .
The antique street wasn’t a safe place with all kinds of people around . It was quite normal that she had become someone’s target as soon as she had earn a large amount of money .
Gu Ning calmed down . She left the antique street without any delay .
The minute Gu Ning had left the street, several men, who had been stalking her rushed ahead to stop her .
Four hoodlums around 20 years old surrounded Gu Ning .
The others all ran away in fear, and no one was willing to help .
“Give us all your money, or I’ll teach you a lesson . ” The head of those hoodlums, who has yellow hair threatened Gu Ning .
“Oh, how?” Gu Ning squinted, like she couldn’t care less .
And the onlookers were surprised by Gu Ning being so calm .
Wasn’t she scared? Was she pretending? Or, did she think anyone would help?
Those hoodlums were notorious around this area, and no one dared to be involved .
“Don’t ever hope that someone would help you . Let me tell you, no one dare to . Just give me your money!” The man in yellow hair threatened once more .
Gu Ning knew no one would help her, because everyone had run away . However, she was confident she could easily beat those bad guys .
“Take it by yourself if you want . ” Gu Ning challenged him .
“You…” Those hoodlums was irritated at once .
“Great . Beat her!” The man with yellow hair ordered .
Then, two hoodlums ran to Gu Ning, trying to catch her .
But before they could come near her, Gu Ning kicked one man in the stomach . The man fell down on the ground in pain immediately .
Then, Gu Ning turned to another one, and punched him directly . The latter suffered at once .
The other two hoodlums were in shock now . It was beyond their imagination that a teenage girl could be so violent .
All of a sudden, a boy who rushed out nearby attacked the man in yellow hair . The man fell down instantly .
The only one, who was left alone standing there, escaped right away . Unfortunately, he ran too fast to recognize the direction, and hit a pole, then bounced back to the ground .
Gu Ning laughed out loud by this funny scene .
Right at this moment, the boy who had attacked the hoodlum in yellow hair ran to Gu Ning . He said in excitement, “Gu Ning, it is really you! I thought I was wrong . Wow, you’re so good and beat down two men easily . ”
Gu Ning knew this boy . He was a senior from the top class in their high school . His name was Mu Ke .
Mu Ke was nearly 5’11” tall . He was a handsome and good-looking boy .
Gu Ning and Mu Ke were from different classes . She knew Mu Ke was Qin Zheng’s classmate and they were good friends . Mu Ke also knew the truth behind she and Qin Zheng’s relationship .
But Mu Ke was different from his friends . He was a good upright boy, and even told her secretly that Qin Zheng wasn’t her Mr . Right .
But back then, Gu Ning had loved Qin Zheng so much . She wouldn’t listen to anyone else .
Thinking of that, Gu Ning actually held a great opinion of Mu Ke .
“Thank you so much, Mu Ke . ” Gu Ning smiled to Mu Ke, and thanked him sincerely .
Though she was able to deal with it all on her own, Mu Ke had helped her indeed . She ought to thank him for that .
Gu Ning was a beautiful girl . She seemed ordinary only because she spent less time on appearance .
Gu Ning’s smile had made Mu Ke flush .
“You’re welcome . And I think even though I didn’t helped you, they couldn’t hurt you at all . ” Mu Ke was a little shy before Gu Ning .
“Anyway, thank you so much for helping me . ” Gu Ning said .
Suddenly, Mu Ke remembered something important . He looked at Gu Ning with astonishment, “Oh, I’ve heard Qin Zheng has broken up with you on Friday, and then you’ve caught by a car accident . How are you right now?”
Mu Ke had no intention to hurt Gu Ning’s feelings . He really cared about her .
But he hadn’t been there in person, so he had only heard of it .
He believed it was Qin Zheng’s fault, but he had no right to get involved in his friend’s personal relations .
