Chapter 1065 Ran away crying
It would have been better if Song Yan did not say anything but as soon as she spoke up she pierced Dong Xielian's heart who looked at the pure green again and then almost fainted. Who would have thought that an A-grade jade could be found in the pile of nothing but trash? The stone was big and heavy but it did not seem any different than the stones found next to the river side.
Who would have thought that it would be hiding such a big jade? That too an imperial one!
" Miss Song is right," though Dong Xuelian smiled everyone could see that her smile was worse than crying. And why wouldn't it be? This was an imperial jade if she hadn't given it away so carelessly then she would be the one who would be basking in the glory!
Dong Xuelian turned to look at Chu Nanzhi and then said in a low and gloomy voice, " Celestial Master cannot detect what is inside the stones, if I could do that then I would have never handed away that stone. Blame me for being unfortunate." As she finished speaking she gritted her teeth in hatred and heartache but at the same time, she soothed her heart by telling herself that compared to Chu Nanzhi she was still a bit better.
At least she only lost a great sum of money but Chu Nanzhi lost all her face!
When Chu Nanzhi heard that Song Yan had picked up the stone with her own luck, her face immediately paled. She turned to look at Song Yan who was smiling at her and did not know what to say anymore, a part of her was telling her that she should run away but before she could do that, Song Yan stopped her.
" Miss Chu, I hope you haven't forgotten the bet that you placed just now," her voice was cool as she studied the green jade in her hand. " You said that as long as the jade was an imperial jade you would kowtow to me and call me ancestor while apologizing?"
"Sister-in-law, there is no need for you to go this far right?" When Feng Ruoxuan saw that the matter was going too far she tried to stop Song Yan. " I mean Nanzhi is your junior, it will be too bad if you make her apologize to you like this, right?"
Song Yan arched a brow upon hearing Feng Ruoxuan's words and then questioned calmly, " Miss Feng thinks I am bullying her friend? Then why did you not try to tell your friend to watch what she was saying before, if I ask her to hold the side of her bet then I am being too much but if she makes fun of me by disrespecting and calling me an idiot, it's fine?"
Though Song Yan's voice was not too forceful, she mentioned two things. First, she did not make Chu Nanzhi make that bet, the latter agreed on her own and second it was Chu Nanzhi's fault. She was the one who disrespected her first, even if Song Yan was betting willfully, who was Chu Nanzhi to call her an idiot and compare her to the mud on the ground?
Song Yan was more than ten years older than Chu Nanzhi and could be counted as her elder!
When the people in the crowd heard Song Yan's words they had to admit that what she said was indeed right. She never asked Chu Nanzhi to make trouble, did she?
Feng Ruoxuan bit her lip when she saw that Song Yan had turned the situation around. If she was not lucky enough to get an imperial jade then maybe they would still be able to manoeuvre the situation around but now that Song Yan had brought up the matter of Chu Nanzhi disrespecting her after she got her hands on the imperial jade no one would be willing to stand up for them!
" Young lady you should apologize to this woman. Your words were indeed a bit unkind!"
" Thats right, this lady here bought the stone and paid for the cutting, why did you have to call her names?"
More and more voices started to speak up for Song Yan.
Chu Nanzhi who was now facing public criticism was so angry that she trembled and pointed at the noses of the elders who were calling her out.
" Who are you to tell me what I should do? Do you even know who I am?" After yelling she turned on her heels and then ran out of the store with tears brimming down her cheeks.
The elders who were screamed at looked at the young girl who ran away after disrespecting them and did not what to say. They looked at Chu Nanzhi's back with offended looks on their faces but did not say anything, after all, they were old enough to be grandfathers of that girl, how could they fight with her?
" I apologize for her actions, she was a bit too much." Feng Ruoxuan bowed her head and apologized to the elders though she did not know whether or not these elders were rich and powerful but just now they bought stones that were worth millions, she did not think that someone who could buy such expensive stones could be from a low background family.
Which was why she was quite enthusiastic towards them right now!
But because of Chu Nanzhi, her good work seemed to have gone down the drain.
" There is no need for young miss to apologize after all you were not the one who spoke rudely to us just now," though the elder who just spoke was polite, he seemed to have lost the enthusiasm that he just had when he was talking to Feng Ruoxuan.
Even the other elders did not seem to be happy with her.
In their eyes how could Feng Ruoxuan be any good if she was friends with someone like Chu Nanzhi, what was more this girl did seem to have done some tricks just now. Because they were old they were a bit muddleheaded but they were not idiots!
