Chapter 195 The slap in the face comes too quickly
The old lady frowned and was about to explode.
"I really know what you said." Jian Qingyi's voice sounded not far away.
Several people subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.
Jian Qingyi curved her lips and smiled at the few people.
She walked towards the few people at a steady pace, raising and lowering her feet alternately. Her movements were smooth and rhythmic, as if every step was following an invisible beat. She was light and graceful, making people look at her sideways unconsciously.
"Yi Yi, this is your great-grandmother." The old lady's expression obviously relaxed, and she smiled and introduced herself to Jian Qingyi.
"Hello, great-grandmother!" Jian Qingyi nodded slightly, with the corners of her mouth always maintaining a decent curve.
Lu Yujing was pulled away by his comrades to discuss serious matters. Jian Qingyi was not interested in listening to their patriotism, so he found an excuse to withdraw.
Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she heard someone chirping at her.
Damn it!
This is her home turf after all.
If she continues to be so cowardly, how can she ever stand up straight and be a decent person in the future?!
"Chen Yayun, even though your granddaughter-in-law is from a small county town, it's too unreasonable that you don't even give her a decent piece of jewelry on such an important day?!" Zeng Caiping squinted her eyes and glanced at Jian Qingyi with contempt.
It didn't look like he was looking at a person, but rather a piece of merchandise.
"Zeng Caiping..." The old lady became angry instantly and was about to go forward to argue with Zeng Caiping.
Jian Qingyi hurriedly grabbed the old lady's hand and signaled her with her eyes not to be angry.
Some people nearby had already noticed the situation and were looking over here. The old lady remembered that today was her grandson and his wife's engagement party, so she could only suppress her anger that was rising.
"The decent jewelry that Grandma Zeng mentioned couldn't be the low-quality pearl necklace full of flaws on your neck, right?!" Jian Qingyi was not polite either.
As he spoke, he glanced at Zeng Caiping with an undisguised look of sarcasm.
That provocative look really deserves a beating.
"Flaw! How dare you say my pearl necklace has a flaw? You are so uneducated! You are really not presentable coming from a small county." Zeng Caiping was so angry that her nose was crooked.
She spent a lot of money to buy this pearl necklace.
Just to slap the old lady in the face today.
Shows her extraordinary taste.
How could Zeng Caiping not be angry when a little girl pointed at her nose and said that the pearl necklace she bought at a high price was flawed and of low quality?!
Isn't this a disguised way of telling everyone that she can't afford nice things?!
"Grandma Zeng, have you ever seen any good pearls?" Jian Qingyi was not angry.
"Real pearls have a clear, lustrous satin luster. The best quality pearls can even reflect a person's face like a mirror. The brighter the luster, the higher the value. The pearls on my great-grandmother's neck have a weak luster..."
Jian Qingyi didn't say anything else, but the expression on her face made her meaning clear.
"You're from a small county, what do you know?" Zeng Caiping was so angry that her voice rose several degrees.
"I know the pearl necklace my great-grandmother wore was made of cultured freshwater pearls. Just the shape, color, and size of the pearls..."
Jian Qingyi raised an eyebrow and glanced at the pearl necklace on Zeng Caiping's neck, then slowly curled her lips and said, "One hundred yuan is the maximum."
"What nonsense are you talking about?! I spent more than a thousand yuan..." Zeng Caiping exploded.
This roar attracted everyone's attention in the hall.
"More than a thousand? Grandma Zeng only bought this..." Jian Qingyi smiled and shook her head, "Grandma Zeng is really generous."
It was still the same soft voice, but to Zeng Caiping's ears, it sounded like a knife.
"You're from a small county town. Have you ever seen a pearl necklace? Why are you talking nonsense here?" Zeng Caiping was so angry that her breathing became rapid.
The old face full of wrinkles turned the color of liver.
"A pearl necklace. Coincidentally, I do have one." Jian Qingyi smiled and waved to Aunt Wang who was carrying her bag.
Mother Wang then walked over with her bag.
Zeng Caiping's expression became even uglier.
She just said that...
When Lu Yujing rushed over after hearing the news, he saw his young wife taking out a rectangular jewelry box from her handbag.
"Wife..." Lu Yujing held his young wife in his arms possessively, with a look of concern on his face.
Jian Qingyi smiled and shook her head at him.
Show off your wealth...
She has never been afraid of anyone!
Seeing that his young wife was not bullied, Lu Yujing stopped talking.
Jian Qingyi opened the jewelry box with a smile, revealing a round, smooth and impeccable white pearl necklace. Each of the sparkling white pearls exuded a strong satin luster.
Look at the pearl necklace on Zeng Caiping's neck, the luster of which is so faint that it can be ignored.
A comparison between the two.
Even people who don't know much about it can tell the difference.
"What beautiful white pearls!" someone exclaimed.
"They are indeed good. Each one is round and smooth, as if they were cast from the same mold. I wonder how many pearls it takes to make a string like this."
"You can't find pearl necklaces of this quality in foreign trade stores."
"Last time, I saw a pearl necklace in a foreign trade store, it wasn't as good as this one, and it cost so much..." The woman who spoke held up five fingers.
"Five hundred?" someone asked.
"Five thousand!" the woman who spoke corrected.
Then there was a sound of inhalation.
Five thousand...
Buying a pearl necklace?!
Are you crazy?
key……
It’s not even this good.
Then this one...
"Is this a sea pearl?" someone asked Jian Qingyi.
"Yes!" Jian Qingyi nodded with a smile.
"Isn't this expensive?" someone else asked.
"It's indeed not cheap!" Jian Qingyi smiled.
This was bought by her grandmother at a top jewelry auction.
How could an ordinary foreign trade store possibly have pearls of this quality?
"Grandma Zeng, there are good things in small towns too." When looking at Zeng Caiping, Jian Qingyi returned to her annoying look.
Zeng Caiping was choked and completely speechless.
The old lady felt extremely happy when she saw her arch-enemy being humiliated.
"The pearls in this sea are so good! They are big, beautiful, and shiny, unlike some people's pearls..." The old lady sighed.
The main theme is a weird feeling.
Many people present knew that the old lady and Zeng Caiping were sworn enemies.
Everyone is already accustomed to the tit-for-tat between the two.
I just didn’t expect…
Jian Qingyi looked like a pretty and gentle little girl, but she was actually sharp-tongued and unforgiving.
He dealt with the man with a smile.
Zeng Caiping's face turned pale and blue.
After a long while, she finally managed to utter, "Chen Yayun, isn't it just a broken pearl necklace?! Look how proud you are of it."
"Who was the first to show off? Didn't you say that my granddaughter-in-law was from a small county town and had never seen pearls? I showed you what good pearls are, why are you still not happy?" The old lady raised the corners of her mouth high, and the pride in her eyes was not concealed at all.
