Smith didn't care when he saw Du Ruo throwing a tantrum. He would not say bad things to a lady. He just shrugged with a smile, looking casual.
Even gods cannot tell the quality of jade. When choosing a rough piece of jade, it is not certain that it will be green. He knew that Du Ruo was a jade carving master, but jade carving masters had nothing to do with gambling on jade. For example, the rough piece in Ji Bailin's hand now performed very well.
The surface of the yellow sand has a fine texture, with two dark green palm-wide worm stripes on the side, and some gray-white lines scattered in the middle. The pine flowers around the worm stripes are also dense in texture and very dark in color, with excellent performance.
"I don't like this stone. Throw it aside."
Hearing what Du Ruo said, Mr. Smith smiled. He didn't care at all and slowly selected the wool materials, letting Du Ruo choose in front of him.
In the next few days, Du Ruo seemed to be at odds with him. No matter where he went to choose raw materials, Du Ruo would choose in front of him with a threatening look, sometimes dragging Ji Bailin along, and sometimes dragging Yuan Tingchuan along.
The two grown men smiled helplessly at Smith, looking as if they were helpless against Duruo.
Although Mr. Smith frowned, he couldn't really argue with Du Ruo for the sake of both of them.
Besides, he always thought that this woman was just throwing a tantrum and it wouldn't have much impact. Looking at her appearance, he didn't know what she was up to, he just found her a little annoying, but he could tolerate it.
Although Ji Bailin didn't know what his sister was thinking, as a good brother, he cooperated very well. This was also due to his mother's training. He was habitually very tolerant of the women in the family.
The jade auction in the Jade City lasted for seven days. Du Ruo spent seven days selecting jadeite in front of Mr. Smith. She could be said to have come back with a lot of stuff. But it was hard to say about Mr. Smith. Eighty percent of his raw materials worth hundreds of millions of yuan could not even produce 10% of the green. Du Ruo breathed a sigh of relief and finally felt a little better.
If she could not openly provoke the old man now, she really wanted to run to Smith and make a bet with him. The two of them would compare the raw materials face to face, which would definitely make the old man furious.
It's a pity that she is now afraid to use her own weapons. The treasure is in someone else's hands. If she makes this old guy angry and he directly drops the Yaobian Tianmu Zan, she will have nowhere to cry and can only secretly trick the old guy.
Ling Yun arrived at the Jade Market on the day the trade conference ended and directly threw an invitation to Du Ruo.
When Du Ruo opened it, his eyes almost popped out of his head in surprise.
"Did your biological father give it to you? No, he's a forger of bronze artifacts. Why would he hold a bronze expo? What does he want to do?"
"He's crazy. As my grandfather said, he's not an ordinary person. Common sense can't be used to deduce him."
"Do you really want to go? In your previous life, he..." Du Ruo signaled Ling Yun with his eyes, meaning you know what I mean, your father killed you in your previous life.
Ling Yun gritted his teeth and said, "No venture, no gain. Besides, I'm also thinking that this might not be his doing. The last time I saw him, he said some incomprehensible things to me."
"Ah? So you don't even know who killed you in your previous life?"
"Could you please not bring that up?"
Ling Yun looked at her with eyes that were hard to describe. Ruoruo, could you please stop bringing up irrelevant issues?
"Will you go with me?"
"Yes." Du Ruo answered with a smile. She wanted to go even if Ling Yun didn't look for her.
Du Ruo's plan was interrupted by Mr. Smith.
Mr. Smith probably felt that he had been bothered by her for a few days and was a little bit hurt, so he was unhappy and wanted to make some trouble.
According to reliable sources, he was negotiating the price with a businessman from Country Y and was planning to sell the Yaobian Tianmu Zan. Du Ruo was shocked and angry when she heard the news. Before she could take any action, the transaction had been completed. She was almost so angry that she vomited blood. It was really something that her uncle could tolerate, but her aunt could not.
The next morning when they met in the cafe, Mr. Smith looked at her and smiled.
Du Ruo gritted her teeth and walked forward and said, "I think you are good at selecting raw materials. How about we make a bet?" Since the thing was not in the hands of this old man, she had nothing to worry about.
Mr. Smith shrugged. He didn't bother with ladies.
"You don't dare?"
Everyone in the cafe looked at the two of them with smiles on their faces.
Most of the people here came to participate in the trading conference. No one was uninterested in gambling on stones. Upon hearing the words, they all looked at the two people with great interest.
As Du Ruo expected, Mr. Smith said, "You've been following me in selecting wool materials for several days. Let's pick some out and have some fun. What do you think, Mr. Du?"
"Can!"
"Yuan, it's not that I'm ungentlemanly, it's that this lady insisted on betting with me. It's just a joke, don't take it seriously."
"That won't do. Since it's gambling on stones, there must be stakes."
"Oh? What are we betting on?"
Du Ruo pointed at Smith's chest and said slowly, "I want that." There was a hint of coldness in her voice, and her cold eyes pierced Smith like a sharp blade.
A hint of astonishment flashed in Mr. Smith's eyes, followed by a hint of shock and anger. Du Ruo was pointing at nothing else but the family emblem on his chest.
This is a provocation, a naked provocation.
He looked deeply into Du Ruo's eyes, tearing off the gentle mask on his face, with a hint of coldness on the corner of his mouth: "Ms. Du, are you sure? What is your bet?"
"My most precious treasure is the Qianlong Dharani brocade quilt."
In an instant, there was a burst of discussion in the coffee shop.
"Oh, this is a priceless treasure, and you're going to bet it on this little badge?"
"This isn't just an ordinary badge; it represents the dignity and reputation of my family. If I lose to someone else, I'll be humiliated."
"Then I don't think it's worth it, but the stakes are high for both parties."
Mr. Smith stared into Du Ruo's eyes and said, "See you in the square tomorrow morning."
He had to teach this ignorant woman a lesson. He turned his head and looked at Yuan Tingchuan with a deep look in his eyes. It's not that I don't give you face, it's that your woman is going too far.
Yuan Tingchuan had a blank expression on his face, as if what they said was really a joke.
Ling Yun looked at Smith with a smile. He had met this man before, but was not familiar with him. It seemed that this old man had really pissed off Ruoruo.
Ji Bailin looked at Du Ruo worriedly. Although he had witnessed his sister's ability last time, his opponent this time was Mr. Smith.
He was already thinking in his mind, what if his sister really lost, lost two of the museum's treasures in a row, and went home crying?
