Chapter 933 He Can't Do It After All
He actually let people mock him for being poor!
He was so ashamed and angry that he was about to explode.
But Qiao Xuan was still unreasonable: "What's wrong with us? Aren't I just trying to give you some advice out of good intentions? Don't take my kindness for granted!"
"."Qiao Hongxi's eyes were full of stars and his breathing became disordered.
How could Qiao Hongxi be willing to lose face like this? He was about to speak in a fit of anger.
Shao Yunduan said calmly: "Do you really want to buy it?"
Qiao Hongxi paused and swallowed back the words that were about to rush to his throat.
He wished he could make a fortune of one hundred thousand or eighty thousand right away, then take out the banknotes and slam them on the counter, giving these two men a slap in the face. How satisfying that would be!
Unfortunately, he couldn't do it after all!
There was a little person in Qiao Hongxi's heart yelling and cursing angrily.
It is the greatest misfortune in life to be short of money when you need it to slap someone in the face!
Shao Yunduan smiled again, calm and composed: "Sir, please don't interfere with the shopkeeper's business. Since you don't want to buy it, shouldn't you put the jade pendant down?"
Qiao Hongxi tightened his grip on the jade pendant. Veins on the back of his hand became prominent and it was trembling slightly. He was obviously furious.
If he buys it, he can't afford it; if he bargains now, he will humiliate himself; if he lets it go, it means he has endured such humiliation!
Nothing is right.
He secretly hated where these two lunatics came from! Why couldn't they buy anything else with their money? Why did they have to go against him!
Qiao Xuan pouted: "Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you going to buy it or not? Tell me the truth! If you want to buy it, then buy it. If not, put it down quickly! You are not very kind!"
Qiao Hongxi felt like he was going to be angry to death in the next second!
He can't lose! Absolutely can't lose!
Otherwise, he, an editor of the Hanlin Academy, would lose all face!
"Of course I'll buy it!" Qiao Hongxi sneered, almost uttering these words through gritted teeth.
After saying this, his mood suddenly became cheerful! He raised his eyebrows and looked at Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan proudly: "There is nothing for you two to do now, so why don't you leave?"
Qiao Xuan: "Hey, go ahead and buy it. That's such a pity! You buy yours, can't we look for something else? Is it appropriate for you to chase away customers on behalf of the shopkeeper? I want to buy that, but you chased us away. Do you want to buy it too? Then go ahead! We won't compete with you."
She pointed to a small jade rabbit on the shelf. It was a three-inch-long jade rabbit pounding medicine ornament. The carving was smooth and the jade was translucent. It was very attractive and the price would not be cheap.
The shopkeeper was also very capable. He immediately took down the small and exquisite ornament and carefully placed it on the counter. He said with a smile: "This jade rabbit pounding medicine ornament is made of the finest Lantian jade. Look at the carving, how delicate it is! This one only costs one hundred taels of silver, it's a good deal!"
Qiao Xuan looked at Qiao Hongxi with a half-smile: "Sir, do you want it?"
Qiao Hongxi glared at Qiao Xuan fiercely.
I don’t know how many times I cursed “bad luck!” in my heart. I really didn’t check the almanac before going out today. How could I run into such a weird couple?
The reason why he was so impatient to get rid of them was mainly because he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of them.
Who knew these two people would be so difficult to deal with.
Qiao Hongxi really wanted to buy everything out of generosity, but it was impossible.
He didn't dare to pretend to be strong anymore. He snorted and ignored Qiao Xuan's words. He gritted his teeth and thought, let it be embarrassing!
He fished out the fifty taels of silver from his bosom and said, "I didn't bring enough money today. Here are fifty taels. You can go to the Qiao family in Liuzhi Alley, West Sixth Street to get the rest."
