Translator: 549690339

It was her first time in Capital City, and she had to bring back gifts for her family.

Capital City is famous for its jade production.

So, taking jade back home was always a good idea.

Diana Hershey nodded, “Alright. I also want to buy gifts for my brother and sister. ‘ I

Viola Thompson naturally had no objections and followed their footsteps. The jade market here was dazzling, with various colors of jewelry and antiques, everything you could want, with so many choices to confuse the eye.

“This one looks nice!”

Fiona Knight picked up a bracelet.

Almost immediately, the owner enthusiastically introduced the piece, “Young lady, your taste is excellent! This is A-grade icy jade, let me shine a light on it for you.”

As he spoke, the owner picked up a small flashlight and shone it on the beads of the bracelet.

Looking at it this way, the quality of the jade beads did look quite nice.

“Young lady, are you buying this for yourself or for someone else?” The owner continued to ask.

“I’m giving it to my grandmother,” Fiona Knight replied.

The owner immediately praised, “You are so kind-hearted, young lady! Our jade is all natural, not only beautiful but also beneficial to health and longevity when worn for a long time.”

“How much?” Fiona Knight asked.

Upon hearing her question, the owner sized up Fiona Knight, as well as Viola Thompson and Diana Hershey next to her, without a change in his demeanor.

Three young ladies.

None of them seemed to be very old.

They looked to be around sixteen or seventeen years old.

Most importantly, all three of them seemed to be quite wealthy, especially Fiona Knight, even her hair tie was from a famous luxury brand.

The owner smiled and said, “We usually sell this for over a hundred thousand, but since you are so filial, I’ll give it to you for eighty-eight thousand! Just for good luck.”

Eighty-eight thousand.

It wasn’t too expensive.

After all, the bracelet was indeed very beautiful.

Fiona laughed and said, “Please wrap it up for me.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the middle-aged ma_n who was also looking at bracelets nearby was completely stunned.

This bracelet looked beautiful, but as long as one knew a bit about jade, it was obvious that this was not natural jade but a synthetic product meant to deceive outsiders.

This owner was really good at scamming people!

The middle-aged man wanted to say something, but when the words reached his lips, he didn’t say anything.

Forget it, forget it.

He didn’t want to meddle and cause unnecessary trouble.

It was none of his business anyway.

Hearing her request to have it wrapped, the owner couldn’t contain his joy. Young ladies these days were too easy to deceive, indeed fools and their money were soon parted.

“Alright, little beauty, I’ll wrap it up for you right away. Since you’re gifting it, I’ll make it look extra pretty!

The owner was so excited that he changed his way of addressing Fiona Knight from young lady to little beauty.

If only more little beauties like this came every day.

“Alright,” Fiona Knight nodded, “Thank you, Boss.”

“Wait a moment,” Viola Thompson placed her phone down and spoke calmly at this point.

“What’s the matter, little beauty?” The owner looked at Viola.

Viola put her phone back in her pocket, “How much did you say this bracelet was?”

“The original price is one hundred thousand, but for this little beauty, it is only eighty-eight thousand,” the owner said with a smile.

Viola picked up the bracelet, speaking softly, “We’ll take it for eighty-eight.”

Eighty-eight?

The owner’s eyes widened, “Young lady, are you joking?”

The discount from eighty-eight thousand to eighty-eight was too drastic.

Not only could the owner not accept this, but even Fiona Knight and Diana Hershey were shocked, their eyes all turning to Viola.

Amazement filled the depths of their eyes!

Was Viola trying to cause a scene?

Viola spoke calmly, her red lips parting slightly, “Boss, what material did you say this bracelet was made of?”

“Natural jadeite!” The owner declared confidently with no blush of shame, “This is A-grade material! You, young lady, must know a lot since you always buy. I don’t need to say more.”

He did not believe that a young girl would understand jade.

Gold has a price, but jade is priceless.

The jade world is the most elusive, not to mention a young girl; even he, a jade expert with family heritage, can mistake it sometimes.

Viola picked up the flashlight and shined it on the jade, “Real jadeite has a strong glass-like feeling, and when you shine a light on it, it is very transparent. A- grade jadeite has a very intricate internal structure without any acid-etched spider-web patterns. Look at this one; it is obviously washed with chemical agents and has had glue injected into it. You are trying to sell us a fake item for eighty-eight thousand, Boss. Do you think the Consumer Association is just for show?”

Her expression was hardly serious, but it gave others a cool and impressive feeling.

Fiona Knight and Diana Hershey looked at Viola with admiration in their eyes..
