The CEO's loser wife: Rebirth of the villainous queen of alchemy-Chapter 154 Pride comes before fall Part 6

Chapter 154 Pride comes before fall Part 6

Grandpa Su cast a sideways glance at the ore traders and a subtle sneer appeared on his aged wrinkled lips.

"How about we both spend a million yuans and see who manages to obtain the most valuable stone? Child, you have at least that much money right?" He chuckled.

The grey hairs on his small non-existent Fu Manchu mustache, that tapered down past his clean-shaven lips, vibrated with his exaggerated fake laughter.

Ah Min was about to say something, but Su Lin put her hand forward and signaled her to stop.

"Perfect. I accept the wager." A gentle smile hung on lips, hiding the laughter that was threatening to burst out.

The old codger was actually placing such a ridiculous bet with a foundation realm cultivator!!

Grandpa Su who was looking at her with disdain scoffed with intense dislike and walked away loftily.

He casually strolled towards the ore trader stall he frequented.

"Aye, Lu Che, you are becoming leaner and leaner every year." Grandpa Su greeted his old friend with a wide grin and settled in the stall.

"Haha. Nothing like that old master." The shopkeeper nervously replied. Grandpa Su was a VIP customer of his stall, patronizing him almost every year.

Su Lin didn't fail to notice the subtle sneer on his face.

Hmmm... So, this old man was a regular customer in this shop. Su Lin patiently waited for a few minutes to see just what the hell this old man had planned.

"I am buying for a million yuans this time around, old Lu. Bring me your best stuff." Grandpa Su slapped his thighs and chortled loudly.

Lu Che nodded gratefully and went inside to bring out the high-grade ores that he had gathered.

And soon a huge batch of obviously high-quality material was placed in front of Grandpa Su.

The stern old man satisfactorily nodded, "Lu Che, bring the gem cutter over."

While most buyers found a private gem cutter, some people liked to put on a show at the stall entrance and let the store's gem cutter reveal the precious stone on the spot.

Stalls typically did not allow this, because this method of publicity was a double-edged sword.

If the rate of success was very high, with every single ore revealing a precious jade, then their shop would become very famous overnight, with their sales shooting up monstrously.

But at the same time, if the rate of success became too low, then people would hesitate to even buy anything from that shop.

It might even be considered as a sign of bad luck to purchase from that shop!

Most jewel traders were very superstitious and took all these omens seriously.

So in the end, there would be nothing left to salvage, and he would have to inevitably pack up and abandon this business completely.

If he refused even this small request, he might as well forget about the Su family's yearly patronage.

But if he didn't refuse, there was only a small chance for things to end up very bad.

After all, old Lu trusted in his abilities as well, and believed that the high-quality ore materials he picked are truly top tier!

Noticing Lu Che's hesitance, Grandpa Su chuckled.

Grandpa Su considered himself to be a very fair man and of course, understood the risk of gem cutting right in front of one's stall. So obviously he wouldn't let his so-called friend suffer.

He chuckled and winked at old Lu, "For this purchase, I will be personally selecting the ores I want. I will do a bulk purchase later on."

The stall owner Lu Che immediately gasped in surprise. The old master was going to prospect the ores himself?? This was definitely a rare event!!!

Grandpa Su was a well-known connoisseur when it came to examining raw ores.

Lu Che excitedly clicked his tongue. Today, there was definitely going to be a good show.

And just as they were setting up, a crowd soon gathered near the stalls at the hotel entrance.

Since it was the first day of the exhibition, and people were just starting to trickle inside, most of them noticed the commotion at the ore stalls.

Some even gathered around to take a look.

But, this was not just any random normal crowd! This was a particularly high-class crowd, including the elite families from all over China!!

Lu Che looked at the woman on the side, whom Grandpa Su and his group had been eyeing intermittently with intense animosity.

Though the woman looked calm and composed, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her. This poor child had picked a fight with the wrong elder!

He knew that Grandpa Su was well natured and he wouldn't resort to this sort of cheap public humiliation unless someone really deserved it.

The woman must have definitely done something wrong! And she was also going to be punished accordingly.

A public humiliation like this, that too amidst the wealthy 10% of the entire country? There was simply no way to recover from this sort of brutal punishment.

Su Han helped his grandfather settle properly and started assisting him with stuff, while Mama Meng stood behind him ecstatically.

She was hardly able to control the vicious sneer on her face.

"This slut is going to be face slapped so hard today!"

"Hmph. How dare she treat our family like this and escape without any consequences!! Now I will see how this cheap whore is getting out of the hole she dug for herself?"

"She thought she was being so smart, but her stupid company or whatever is going to permanently shut down after this! Cheap woman and her cheap tricks! Hmph."

Mama Meng was happily picturing Su Lin's bleak future and incessantly murmuring to Shi Meng under her breath.

She couldn't wait for justice to be served!
