Chapter 9
Around her neck, there was a platinum necklace with a large jade .
And her gold earrings were also too big to ignore . The woman was apparently showing off her wealth .
But after a while, Gu Ning couldn’t help but snort with laughter .
The woman’s face changed a little with anger, “What are you laughing at?”
“You, of course! Since you’re so rich, why are you still wearing a cheap fake bracelet and jade,” Gu Ning replied plainly .
Yes, the bracelet and the jade around the woman’s wrist and neck were fake . Gu Ning had intended to absorb the power of the woman’s jewelry, but had failed, because they weren’t authentic .
As for the gold, Gu Ning barely know, but the jade ring around the woman’s fingers was authentic though .
Gu Ning understood the woman probably had no idea that most of her jewelry weren’t real . She did it on purpose to pay the woman back .
Gu Ning admitted that she wasn’t tolerant, and she wouldn’t stay quiet any longer .
“What did you say?” the woman was irritated . She felt embarrassed at once .
Those jewelry were from her husband, who was a super rich man . How could they be fake!
And in front of her was just a poor girl, who knew nothing at all!
“Gee! Shut your mouth . You’re being jealous . ”
Gu Ning stayed calm instead .
“Believe it or not, there’s a jewelry appraiser in every jewelry store . You can try it yourself . And now if you’ll excuse me, I have something else to do . ” Then Gu Ning turned around and left .
“You…” The woman didn’t want to let the go of Gu Ning, but was stopped by another woman beside her, “Let it go, she’s merely a poor girl . We better stay away from her . ”
The woman immediately put on airs, behaving like she was a real royalty .
She said to Gu Ning’s back with disdain, “I don’t care you poor people at all!”
Then, she focused on the jade again .
However, Gu Ning’s words stayed in her mind, and she wanted to identify them herself .
On the other side, Shao Feifei stood at the entrance of the jewelry store, waiting for Gu Ning . She had also witnessed everything that had just happened inside .
Seeing Gu Ning going out, Shao Feifei criticized, “Isn’t it interesting? You can’t afford a piece yourself, and you’re so jealous of the rich . ”
“If you can afford it, why don’t you buy a piece?” Gu Ning argued .
“You…”
Shao Feifei felt humiliated, because Gu Ning had hit the point .
Although Shao Feifei was born in a rich family with millions of wealth, she still couldn’t afford on her own .
The jewelry cost dozens of thousand yuan each, while she only had a monthly allowance of several thousand yuan . Besides, she spent much every month, and had no money left for a piece of jewelry .
She had been here today only because her birthday was around the corner . She wanted to choose her birthday gift, and her mother would buy it for her .
Gu Ning ignored Shao Feifei, and left .
Although Shao Feifei disliked the feeling of failure, she had no idea how to fight back again .
Shao Xue, who was Shao Feifei’s cousin, held her breath in case Shao Feifei would vent anger on her, which had happened before .
Shao Xue did this only because her family needed the sources from Shao Feifei’s family .
Gu Ning went straight to the antique market after she had left the jewelry store .
It took her half an hour on the bus to get to the antique market from the downtown . When she finally arrived, it was about three pm .
The antique market, also known as “the Old Market” . Only the old and ancient objects were called antiques .
The antique market had been popular for many years, and there were many people visiting the antique street . Most of them were middle-aged men or the elderly .
Gu Ning barely saw young people on the street, especially a female student of her age . Even though there were teenagers, they were either accompanied by their parents, or hanging around .
So when Gu Ning walked by the stands, nobody paid attention to her .
At the both sides of the street, there were countless stands with numerous commodities . However, authentic antiques were still rare .
Both antiques and the jade were business of high risk . The unspoken rule in this industry was “No Anti-counterfeiting” . You paid and got the commodities on-site without any after-sales service .
If you were lucky enough to get an authentic one, you would be rich overnight, otherwise, you would be broke .
Gu Ning walked slowly, because she felt exhausted after she had used her Jade Eyes for a short time . She needed to take a break before going on .
Along her way, Gu Ning hadn’t found out a single authentic object . She was disappointed .
The antique market had existed for too long to leave any authentic pieces for her .
Gu Ning felt she was naive to try to earn money by antiques .
There were many choices for stone gambling though, but most of the stones came from Burma and Province Y, and there were less quality stones in other cities .
Anyway, it wasn’t easy to find a perfect stone .
City F was far away from Burma, and it cost too much for Gu Ning to fly to there .
Though the flight ticket wasn’t very expensive actually, it was a lot for Gu Ning and her mother .
And the last thing Gu Ning wanted to happen was for her exceptional ability to be revealed . She didn’t want her mother to know as well . So, even Gu Ning was willing to go to Burma, she was short of a good reason .
Gu Ning didn’t maintain much hope in City F, but she still tried to find some . As long as it was a real gem, she would take it .
In the end, when Gu Ning was ready to leave, an object on a not noticeable stand got her attention .
It was a bracelet consisted of 12 blocks of china . Each block was as big as a toe . There were many stains and dirt around it . It didn’t have a good appearance, but Gu Ning saw a layer of light white fog from it .
