639: Wrong Person

Wrong Person

Therefore, it was definitely Ling Pinyuan's fortune that Zhong Nuannuan would spend more than 20 million to buy these useless stones.2

"Are you done choosing?" Ling Pinyuan's lips curled up slightly, confident that she would win.

"Done."

"Then, let's witness this stone together. Is it a higher-grade jade or the oily green jade that you insisted?"

"Okay."

Everyone in the hall witnessed the argument between Zhong Nuannuan and Ling Pinyuan. Although they felt that the bet could end up with Ling Pinyuan as the winner or a draw, they could not help but want to see the result. They wanted to see if Zhong Nuannuan would acknowledge spending on the 20 million bucks worth of stones after she lost.

Just as the stone was about to be cut, the Ling family head arrived.

When he entered through the door, he noticed Old Master Chi who was standing in the middle of the hall with Zhong Nuannuan.

After all, the old master was the only grand marshal in Camino. His bearing and how he carried himself were definitely outstanding.

Even though he was just casually standing there, he emitted the presence of a superior.

Wu Maosong, Old Master Wu, stood not too far away from Old Master Chi, but Old Master Wu was a businessman after all. His bearing was significantly less impressive in Old Master Chi's presence.

Therefore, moments after Ling Li entered the hall, he asked no questions and walked to Old Master Chi's side self-righteously. He bent down with his shoulders and stretched out his hands. With a wide smile on his face, he bowed to welcome him.

"Chairman Wu, nice to meet you! I heard in the early morning that you're coming to the Soaring Clouds Pavilion. I should have waited here for your arrival. The raw stones here are all new goods that I brought from Cloud District. Please take a look and see if there are any that you're interested in. If there are any, you can just take them with you!"

Wu Maosong, "..."

Everyone, "..."

Ling Pinyuan, "...!!!"

At this moment, everyone no longer looked at Ling Pinyuan with the trust and admiration they initially had for the valiant and upright female soldier.

After all, the message that Ling Pinyuan sent them just now was that the Ling family and Old Master Wu had a good relationship—that Old Master Wu came specifically to Soaring Clouds Pavilion to support their business.

However, now that the head of the Ling family was here, he could not even recognize Old Master Wu. Was it not obvious that the girl was trying to trick everyone?

It would have been fine if it was just any typical family in the field of business trying to cheat someone, but the person who did it was Ling Pinyuan, the daughter from the rich in Jiang District, and a soldier in the special forces team.

"Grandpa, this is Grandpa Wu." Ling Pinyuan felt that her face was getting chucked down the drain by her own grandfather. She quickly tugged his sleeve and corrected him softly.

Ling Li, "…!!!"

After recovering from his horror, Ling Li hurriedly greeted Old Master Wu officially, lamenting that he failed to recognize a formidable person.

Old Master Wu was already unhappy that Ling Pinyuan took advantage of his name. Now that Ling Li repeated that, Old Master Wu no longer had a good impression of the Ling family. He did not feel that it was right for him to bring it up just now, but Ling Li just happened to recognize the wrong person. Thus, Old Master Wu said, "It's our first time meeting each other, so it's no big deal to make such a mistake. I was invited by a friend to attend the Jiang District Jade Association's establishment. On the way here, I heard that the raw stones are quite good, so I came in to take a look. Mr. Ling, there's no need to be polite. If there's nothing else, let's cut the stone open. I, too, wish to see whether it's oily green jade or ice jade inside."

"Very well, very well!" Ling Li hastily agreed and told the lapidary to cut the stone quickly.

He privately pulled Ling Pinyuan aside and started asking about the situation.

When Ling Li found out that the old man who Ling Li mistook for Old Master Wu was the troublemaker's grandfather, he glared fiercely at Old Master Chi. Even though he was certain that Zhong Nuannuan would lose, he did not welcome people who came here to interrupt everyone's enjoyment.
