CHAPTER 966: CHAPTER 946: THE DEAL

"You shouldn’t rely on family gifts to do business." The Old Master said, "Once you repay the money, the family won’t interfere with your affairs, and you’ll have the right to make your own decisions. Is that what Qhianqhian is concerned about?"

Luo Qianqian nodded sheepishly. Although her Second Aunt wouldn’t do that now, who knows what the future holds? He still felt uneasy.

"My mom would never..."

"Your mom won’t, but what about your uncle? Your grandfather?" Old Master Luo said with a calm expression, "At times like these, it’s best to settle the money clearly, even leaving a proof of transfer."

Although he knew his in-laws wouldn’t do such things, Jia Ning’s sister-in-law seemed to be a formidable character too.

He sighed, "Decide on your own matters, our family won’t get involved."

Luo Qianqian nodded repeatedly.

After Cong Rong delivered the family gifts, he also stayed at the Luo family, as it was too late and unsafe to return.

Early the next morning, Luo Qianqian went out with Tang Tianyi, this time without driving, unlike the urgency of last night. Today, there was still time.

They happily took a cab but were surprised to see a young man already seated by the window, even though it wasn’t time yet, rendering them speechless.

Tang Tianyi stuffed a box from his pocket into Luo Qianqian’s hand, looking calm and composed.

Luo Qianqian placed it in her pocket, then smoothly tucked it into the ring, leaving only the box visible, making it seem like the item was still in her pocket. With the Green Spirit inside, her heart was trembling.

Once seated, they ordered coffee and then looked at the young man, "Did you come so early? The bank isn’t open yet."

"Yeah, just came early to show sincerity. Isn’t it embarrassing to be late?" The young man replied naturally.

Luo Qianqian nodded, squinting slightly, as she looked at her hand.

She sensed the attention from the tables in front and behind, raising an eyebrow, "I’m going to the bathroom."

As she spoke, she took out the box from her pocket, thinking of placing it on the table, then considered handing it to Tang Tianyi, but finally stuffed it back, "Forget it, it’s safer with me."

Saying this, she turned and went to the bathroom.

Tang Tianyi just smiled faintly, not saying a word, quietly gazing at the glass window.

After Luo Qianqian entered the bathroom, two more people, a man and a woman, followed her in.

Luo Qianqian calmly walked out to wash her hands and dried them.

As she turned to walk back, she accidentally bumped into a man emerging from the men’s bathroom, stumbling back two steps, and was caught by the woman behind her.

Luo Qianqian quickly said, "Sorry, sorry." addressing the woman behind her.

The woman smiled gently and shook her head lightly.

The man quickly apologized to Luo Qianqian as well, with a face full of urgency.

Luo Qianqian smiled and shook her head, then patted her pocket and walked back to the table as usual.

Returning to her seat, she chuckled, "Your boss’s men aren’t very skilled."

Saying that, she took out the box and looked at the jade pendant inside, which was of excellent quality and bore some resemblance to the one on Yue Tingyu’s hand, though there were minor differences in details.

The young man was stunned by what Luo Qianqian said.

Luo Qianqian examined the jade stone closely, "Getting something for free is quite enjoyable, so I’ll accept it."

The glassy, full green Emperor Green was now even being used as fake material?

Luo Qianqian couldn’t help but chuckle again.

The young man was left speechless, clearly understanding what had transpired, "I’m sorry."

"No problem, this thing is quite valuable, but don’t think I’ll give you a discount because of it. Tell your boss, due to what just happened, his price has doubled."

Luo Qianqian maintained a calm expression.

The man, blushing, returned the box, "Miss Luo, I’m sorry."

Initially, it was a matter of luck; if Luo Qianqian hadn’t gone to the bathroom, there would’ve been no chance. If she did, they would have profited.

They just didn’t expect that she had already noticed.

She even deliberately went to the bathroom to tease them.

"Fool!" The young man was filled with exasperation.

Even he couldn’t easily approach, let alone Luo Qianqian, who was no less skilled than him, perhaps even above that impostor...

"Hurry and make the call; what if we run out of funds?" Luo Qianqian shrugged, accepted the jade stone given for free, and casually set it aside.

The young man hurriedly went to make a call.

When he returned, his expression wasn’t very good.

"He said he can offer at most 800 million." The young man’s face betrayed a hint of helplessness, "Could you tell me how much you want?"

"Why? Isn’t she his daughter?" Luo Qianqian had a strange expression, slightly furrowing her brows.

The young man smiled bitterly, his face looking rather embarrassed, "Daughter... heh, if she didn’t have some value, she would have been married off early, regardless of whether to an old man or someone with multiple wives..."

A few strands of speechlessness crossed Luo Qianqian’s face, "999.99 million."

It was as if ice washed over the young man’s eyes; he thought the price was unattainable, yet it was right within reach.

Luo Qianqian added a clause, "This is the last time; there’s no second chance for you. If it happens again, I’ll take action." Her face shone with a sudden chill, and a fist clenched tightly.

"Okay." The young man agreed readily.

"You shouldn’t attack ordinary people," Tang Tianyi glanced at Luo Qianqian, speaking earnestly, "You could set a fire, maybe sprinkle some poison."

... Luo Qianqian was at a loss, so you think this is a good idea?

Seeing that the time was about right, she provided her bank account number. The young man over there immediately made a call, and shortly after, nodded, "Check it."

Luo Qianqian picked up her phone; with people like these, she really couldn’t trust them.

After verifying the balance, she nodded satisfactorily, took the jade pendant from the ring in her pocket, and placed it in the empty box, "Hurry and take a picture. This is really being given to him, don’t blame me later."

Tang Tianyi nodded, suppressing a laugh, but still took several photos of the box.

Luo Qianqian turned towards the monitor, pushing the box to the young man, "We’re leaving now; don’t accuse us of taking it. You can’t close the box before we leave."

The young man took the flat, square box, nodding solemnly with a face full of gratitude.

Once outside, Luo Qianqian exhaled, looking at Tang Tianyi, "Suddenly feels like making money is so easy?"

"Others would be furious at your way of making money." Tang Tianyi smiled helplessly.

With the rarity comes the value, especially when all the supply is controlled by them. It’s odd if people aren’t infuriated, and the unit price is sky-high; there’s no wholesale price, and it was limited in quantity.

However, who knows, there might be some on the black market in the future; for now, it doesn’t exist.

Some people couldn’t wait to flaunt it daily, selling it? Is that possible?

Some are low-key, like Luo Xisi, whom no one knows about.
