Chapter 8 Jewelry Store Incident
Having said that, Gu Man had no choice but to compromise, but she reminded him: "Then you have to be careful and call mom if you feel uncomfortable."
"Got it," Gu Ning replied and went out.
After going out, Gu Ning looked at the mobile phone in his hand with disgust. It was one of those old-fashioned phones that cost only one or two hundred yuan.
To be honest, she is used to using smart phones, and now she is not used to the button system.
Make money and buy a smart phone for yourself and Gu Man.
Because there is no bus that goes directly to the antique market where Gu Ning is, Gu Ning has to take the bus to the city first, and then transfer to the bus to the antique market after arriving in the city.
When we got to the city, it was not rush hour, so the traffic was not very congested. It took us more than 20 minutes to reach the city center.
There was no bus to the antique market at the stop where Gu Ning got off, so he had to walk forward 300 meters, then turn right into the street, and walk another 100 meters to find the bus stop to the antique market.
Because it is in the city center and surrounded by commercial areas, many big-name jewelry stores are gathered here.
After taking a quick glance, when Gu Ning's eyes fell on the jade pendants displayed in the window of the jewelry store next to him, he suddenly had an idea, which was to go in and take a look at those jades.
Although I know how to absorb spiritual energy from that information, I have not actually put it into practice, so I am still curious about the feeling.
Just as I entered the store, I heard a sarcastic female voice: "Hey! Isn't this classmate Gu Ning? How come? Someone who can't even afford a meal can actually afford to come to a jewelry store!"
Yes, Gu Ning was the one who couldn’t even afford to eat at school.
Although Gu Man gave her pocket money every day, which was enough for her to eat, Gu Ning, who had always been frugal, seldom ate out and usually just had a steamed bun.
Otherwise, how could Gu Ning save 500 yuan for her own pocket money! The girl who picked on Gu Ning was called Shao Feifei, a classmate of Gu Ning and the cultural and arts committee member. In the class, she was the one who got the most intolerance towards Gu Ning. Not only did she verbally humiliate her, she also often threw paper balls at her, threw garbage in her drawer, scribbled on her textbooks, and teased her.
The reason why she targeted Gu Ning was not only because of Gu Ning's bad background, but more because of her good looks. This made Shao Feifei, who was called the beauty of the class but not the most beautiful, very jealous and unwilling.
How can a poor girl be prettier than me? Shao Feifei was with a girl of the same grade, but Gu Ning didn't know her.
When everyone heard Shao Feifei's words, they all looked towards Gu Ning. The well-educated people didn't show any expression, but those who thought they were noble showed disdain.
Especially when they saw her yellowed clothes, who knew how many years she had worn them, they looked down on her even more. They felt that Gu Ning, a poor guy, appeared in the place where they were, which simply lowered their class.
Gu Ning didn't care about the looks on everyone's faces, but he couldn't just sit there and let Shao Feifei humiliate him, so he retorted, "This is not your home, why can't I come here?"
"Come here, can you afford it?" Shao Feifei laughed, then made an expression of sudden enlightenment and said, "Don't tell me, you are here to steal it!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes on Gu Ning changed again, especially the waiter, who looked at Gu Ning with naked vigilance, obviously believing what Shao Feifei said.
Gu Ning was annoyed. He looked at Shao Feifei with a cold gaze and said coldly, "Shao Feifei, you are talking nonsense without any evidence. I can sue you for defamation."
"you······"
Shao Feifei was already frightened by Gu Ning's gaze, and was shocked again when she heard her words. However, she was even more surprised that Gu Ning dared to refute her.
You know, no matter how I mocked her before, Gu Ning was always depressed and didn't even dare to make a sound.
"Cousin, let's go first!" The girl who followed Shao Feifei was timid. When she heard what Gu Ning said, she was afraid that something really might happen, so she immediately asked Shao Feifei to leave.
"Why are you walking? I want to see what she can buy." However, Shao Feifei did not appreciate it. It should be said that she did not take Gu Ning seriously at all. Although she was frightened just now, she was not really afraid of Gu Ning.
That's right, Gu Ning is a poor student with no power, no influence, and no background, how can he do anything to her! After saying that, he looked at Gu Ning provocatively, as if he was watching a show.
"Who said you have to buy it before you come in?" Gu Ning was speechless.
"Why did you come in if you're not going to buy anything?" Shao Feifei knew this, but she still asked relentlessly.
"Can't you come in and take a look?" Gu Ning asked back.
"You..." Shao Feifei was so angry that she was speechless for a moment.
Gu Ning no longer paid attention to Shao Feifei. He just walked past her and continued shopping.
Although everyone looked down on poor people like Gu Ning, they didn't say anything.
Because as she said, there is no rule that says you have to buy it when you come in.
However, because of Shao Feifei's words, the waiter deliberately kept a close eye on Gu Ning, as if he was afraid that she would really steal.
But they forgot that, not to mention that there were surveillance cameras in the store, all the jewels were locked behind thick glass, so even if they wanted to steal them, it wouldn't be that easy!
Although Gu Ning was very unhappy about being questioned, he didn't know what to say.
Gu Ning came to the jade area and concentrated on looking at the jades. After about ten seconds, he saw a faint white mist on the surface of the jades. This faint mist was the spiritual energy.
It’s just that the spiritual energy is very thin, which means the quality is not very good.
Gu Ning didn't mind, but because these jade pieces were blocked by glass, Gu Ning was unable to absorb spiritual energy. He could only absorb it without any obstruction.
Therefore, Gu Ning could only watch and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
However, when she sighed, something went wrong again.
"Some people can't afford it and can only sigh. It's really pitiful." A sarcastic female voice came.
"Isn't it? Poor people like this can't afford it in their entire life, so they can only watch." Another woman echoed.
Gu Ning was a little speechless. He simply attracted a lot of criticism. Even sighing could make people laugh. He was really pitiful. Even she had to sympathize with him.
How could they be sure that she would never be able to afford it in her lifetime? She was poor now and could not afford it, but that did not mean she could not afford it in the future! Gu Ning looked at the two women. They were about forty years old, good-looking, and dressed elegantly, but it seemed that they were too elegant and looked a bit rustic.
Especially the woman on the right, look, she has three rings on each of her two fingers, a diamond ring, a gold ring, and a jade ring.
On her wrists, she wore a gold bracelet on one side and a jade bracelet on the other.
