Chapter 799: 205: Face-slapping at the Birthday Banquet!_3
By the time the two of them emerged from Guose Tianxiang, it was already past one in the afternoon.
Walking amidst the bustling streets, Grandpa Du caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
It was Ni Yang.
Where did she come out from?
The pawn shop?
Grandpa Du glanced towards the words on the signboard behind Ni Yang, a twitch playing at the corner of his mouth.
Did she pawn the Night Pearl?
Just like that?
That Night Pearl was from the Northern Song Dynasty, priceless, she must have gotten a load of money for it…
She’s still just a young girl after all.
She probably thought the Night Pearl was just a small pearl.
Such a quality Night Pearl, such a waste.
“What are you looking at, Grandpa Du?” Wang Zeqi asked, curious.
“Nothing,” replied Grandpa Du, averting his gaze. “Let’s go.”
If she wants to pawn it, let it be pawned!
After all, the pearl was already given to her.
Ni Yang originally intended to pawn the Night Pearl.
After all, such a pearl was all beauty but no value, and it would be better off converted to cash. But who would have known that the pawnshop owner didn’t recognize its value, insisting that it was a modern piece, offering only a thousand yuan for it.
And so, she left with the pearl.
Seeing Ni Yang leave, the pawnshop owner rushed out after her, “Miss, wait, wait, we can talk about this, actually, a thousand yuan is really not a small sum…”
A thousand yuan was indeed a significant amount, compared to an average monthly salary of thirty yuan.
But this Night Pearl was from the Northern Song Dynasty, a thousand yuan wouldn’t even buy a tiny fragment of it.
Ni Yang glanced back, “There’s nothing to talk about, I’m not selling.”
The pawnshop owner continued, “You’re quite hot-tempered, young lady. If you think a thousand yuan is too little, I can add another 500, isn’t 500 quite a lot? Your pearl might look pretty, but it’s not worth much!”
Ni Yang looked at the pawnshop owner, and with a serious expression said, “Actually, I’m 88 years old this year. Though I may look young, I’ve had a surgery abroad! So, young man, in the future, be honest when doing business, and don’t always think of cheating others!” freēwebnovel.com
