Becoming The Business Magnate's Spoiled Wife
/ Becoming The Business Magnate's Spoiled Wife Chapter 90 – Snatching a Low–Priced Jade
In the furniture store, Qu Xiao and Shang Yan were waiting for the store owner to process the order.
Qu Xiao sat on the sofa leaning against the floor-to-ceiling glass window and looked outside with her chin resting on her hand out of boredom.
Shang Yan was afraid that she would get bored from waiting, so he wanted to arrange for Li to come over to wait for the store owner in their place.
Shang Yan was about to ask Qu Xiao, but he realized that her gaze was fixed on a certain spot outside and she was in a daze.
Shang Yan followed her gaze and saw Ling Chi.
At the shop opposite the shopping mall, Jiang Xue'er was wearing a beige dress. Her eyes were filled with love as she chased after Ling Chi.
She tried to hold Ling Chi's arm, but Ling Chi avoided her. Jiang Xue'er lowered her eyes in disappointment.
However, she quickly smiled and said, “What kind of office desk do you want? I'm quite familiar with furniture. I can help you!”
Ling Chi's expression was cold as he said in a perfunctory tone, “I just want to take a look around…”
The Ling family had been very strict with him recently. He was not allowed to show up at the company, nor could he handle any project-related matters.
He felt depressed and wanted to ask Qu Zhen out for a walk.
However, Qu Zhen was busy with work at Qu Group and did not have the time. Coincidentally, Jiang Xue'er heard about it, so she took the initiative to accompany Ling Chi. She did not want to give up any opportunity to be alone with him.
Qu Xiao looked at Ling Chi, but her mind was occupied with another matter.
According to the plot of the original novel, it was around this period of time when Ling Chi had bought a piece of warm jade for a low price in the shopping mall.
Wearing that piece of warm jade had a healing effect on the body. It could nourish the body.
If she could buy it first, it should be helpful for Shang Yan's leg disease treatment!
As Qu Xiao thought of this, the corners of her lips curled up as she stood up.
She did not notice that Shang Yan's expression had become ugly, and there was even a hint of anger.
Qu Xiao patted Shang Yan's shoulder lightly and whispered in his ear, “Wait for me here, I'll be back soon!”
After saying this, Qu Xiao hurriedly ran outside and chased after Ling Chi and Jiang Xue'er.
Shang Yan silently clenched his fists. His deep eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.
His appearance was reflected on the floor-to-ceiling glass window. At this moment, jealousy crawled onto his face and could not be hidden at all.
“Why do you still care about Ling Chi?”
Shang Yan muttered to himself in a hoarse voice.
At the entrance of a jade shop, Ling Chi held a warm jade in his hand. He pretended to be uninterested as he tried to negotiate with the shop owner, “This jade pendant looks very ordinary. There are even cracks on the back of the cylinder. It can't be sold at this price.”
“I'll give you 20,000 yuan. That's already considered a high price.”
“Other than me, no one else would be interested in a defective jade pendant like this.”
Ling Chi's words made the boss waver. Just as the boss was about to grit his teeth and compromise, Qu Xiao suddenly interrupted them.
“Boss, I quite like this jade pendant. The original price is 50,000 yuan. I would like to pay the full price now.”
Qu Xiao grabbed the jade pendant's hanging rope and snatched it from Ling Chi's hands. She smiled kindly at the boss.
The sudden appearance of Qu Xiao stunned the Boss and Ling Chi for a moment.
Ling Chi quickly reacted. He furrowed his eyebrows and questioned, “Are you deliberately looking for trouble and going against me?”
Qu Xiao shrugged her shoulders. Her eyes were filled with contempt and disdain as she replied, “I'm sorry. You're really not that important to me.”
“When I passed by this shop just now, I liked this jade pendant very much. I came back specially to get it.”
“Don't fight with me over something that I take a fancy to. Besides, the shop owner wouldn't sell it to you for 20,000 yuan…”
“You've lived far away from commoners for too long. It's understandable that you don't understand the prices of goods in the market.”
Qu Xiao mocked Ling Chi while the shop owner looked at the two of them suspiciously. For a moment, he was at a loss.
When Jiang Xue'er saw Qu Xiao, she subconsciously took two steps forward and stood between Ling Chi and her. She used a sharp and harsh tone to speak, “You just can't get rid of your habit of snatching other people's things! First a man, now a jade pendant.”
Qu Xiao rubbed her ears lazily. Her gaze swept past Jiang Xue'er and she mocked, “I'm already a little better than you.”
“After all, I didn't chase after others with my eyes wide open and mouth drooling.”
