Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 141: Chapter 141: The Master Wants to Take a Look

The antique stall owner caught up in the quarrel was a man in his thirties, with a face that seemed impervious to reason, looking like a simpleton with a rather large scar on his forehead that was quite intimidating.

At this moment, he was fully self-assured, holding a red bead bracelet and shouting loudly to the people around him.

”Look, everyone, look, this is a genuine southern red agate bracelet, which cost me a high price as the treasure of my stall! It was sitting there fine, and they wanted to try it on, but it fell to the ground, breaking two beads. Now, what do you say about this!”

Around him, there were many other stall owners, who usually hustled together, naturally sticking up for each other.

”She has to compensate, doing business these days is not easy. Top-quality southern red agate, that’s worth a lot of money!”

”Exactly, life for life, debt repayment, you break it, you pay, it’s only fair.”

”With the quality of this southern red agate, just look at how nice it is, it can’t be cheap.”

With some people backing him up, Scarface was also wearing a proud look, lifting the bracelet in his hand high, which was more like a red banner than a southern red agate bracelet.

”You’re exaggerating way too much, as if the thing in your hand is worth that much! Do you really think we’ve never seen anything good? You’re asking for the moon!”

One of the two women, the older one, retorted furiously. She seemed about thirty-five or thirty-six, with ordinary looks but exceptionally sharp eyes, speaking decisively, ”Besides, your ratty stall could not possibly have a ’treasure of the stall’ worth ten thousand. Who are you trying to fool! Let me tell you, we came out to relax, not to be fleeced by you!”

What an impressive way with words!

She could take on hundreds by herself!

Bai Xiaosheng was full of admiration as he listened.

Standing beside the speaking woman was another who could rival Han Shuying in figure, with black hair cascading down like a waterfall.

She wore a huge pair of sunglasses that almost covered half her face.

Yet, even so, the snow-white pert nose and the luscious, plump lips beneath the sunglasses were enough to make people’s thoughts run wild—

One could only imagine the breathtaking beauty that must lie behind those shades!

At the moment, the beauty with the sunglasses kept tugging at her companion, seemingly trying to calm things down.

Would she really agree to pay ten thousand?

Bai Xiaosheng observed the situation and could not help but scrutinize the woman more closely out of curiosity.

”Hey, you don’t agree, is that it? Want evidence? I’ve got it! Here is the expert appraisal certificate from the authoritative department, stamped and everything! I have three or five of them, do you want to see?” Scarface was undeterred, shouting his claim.

While shouting, he kept sneaking glances at the woman with the sunglasses.

”Hey, what do you think, are these appraisal certificates real or fake...” Han Shuying was engrossed and couldn’t help but nudge Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng, driven by curiosity, was so intent on scrutinizing the beauty, and with all the noise around, he didn’t hear Han Shuying’s words, naturally ignoring her.

When Han Shuying asked twice without getting a response, she noticed Bai Xiaosheng’s unblinking gaze and instantly became annoyed.

What, is she prettier than me? Can’t even take your eyes off her?

Women love to compare themselves, and when jealousy strikes, it’s terrifying!

Bai Xiaosheng was completely unaware that he was on the verge of danger!

Under Han Shuying’s fierce gaze, Bai Xiaosheng was still oblivious.

She was really angry!

Initially, Han Shuying wanted to give Bai Xiaosheng’s arm a twist, quietly reaching for his sleeve. Her eyes suddenly shifted, a wicked smile forming on her lips.

She had a new idea!

”Stop arguing, the appraisal master has arrived!” Han Shuying shouted loudly, giving a sudden push.

Caught off guard, Bai Xiaosheng stumbled, almost falling onto the glasses-wearing beauty, breaking into a cold sweat.

”What are you doing?!” Bai Xiaosheng exclaimed angrily, unable to help but glare back at Han Shuying.

Han Shuying looked nonchalant, with an ”it’s none of my business” attitude.

All the gazes around them, whoosh, turned towards Bai Xiaosheng, and the crowd began to murmur.

”How did a treasure appraiser pop out of nowhere...”

”How old is this kid, yet a master...”

”We already have a jade master, Sir Ran, here, and now a young talent is joining the fray?”

Surrounded by voices of discussion, most of which were filled with ridicule.

You see, appreciating antiques and jade requires an immense investment of time and money, not to mention one-on-one mentorship.

For someone like Sir Ran to exist was already a miracle, and this young man in front of them, who barely had any experience showing, dared to call himself a master?

The scoffing grew more and more intense.

Han Shuying glanced around at all the people pointing fingers, listening to their mockery and scorn, suddenly regretting her decision.

She had made Bai Xiaosheng the target of ridicule.

All men care about their pride.

Was this joke taken too far?

Sir Ran.

As for Bai Xiaosheng, he was indifferent; instead, his gaze flickered slightly, the name popping up again, seemingly with quite a high level of renown!

Being called ”Sir” at a young age—other than the ”Comedy King,” calling oneself that in the little world of Tiannan’s jade community might be a bit too arrogant.

Bai Xiaosheng shook his head; this was none of his business!

He took a step, intending to return to the crowd.

The woman wearing sunglasses clearly wasn’t short of cash, already prepared to compensate; he had no reason to wade into these murky waters.

”Don’t go, Master. Since you dared to come forward, why not have a look for us?” Scarface mocked with a sneer.

”Haha, does he even know about southern red agate?”

”Exactly, Scarface, you’re asking too much of him.”

The crowd joined in the senseless heckling.

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t be bothered to respond, but as he took the second step someone tugged at his sleeves.

There was a struggle.

With a rip.

Bai Xiaosheng’s sleeve came off.

He had been wearing that garment for quite a while, and although it had become a bit whitened from washing, it was comfortable to wear. Now, it finally tore.

The people around burst into uproarious laughter.

”The Master’s clothes are too worn, they’ve seen better days...”

”Sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean to,” the woman in sunglasses hurriedly said, and then she stuffed the torn piece of cloth back into Bai Xiaosheng’s arms, timidly adding, ”I just thought... If you understand these things, could you possibly take a look for us?”

Her politeness and courtesy, her voice still very sweet.

She exuded a vulnerable charm, making it difficult for anyone to refuse her.

Bai Xiaosheng sighed and turned around.

”What’s it gonna be, brother? Are you going to cover the costs for this miss? If not, go about your business!” Scarface frowned and dismissively said to Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng’s eyebrows twitched, he looked at him coolly, glanced at the strand of southern red agate in his hand, and took a step forward to walk over.

Seeing this, Han Shuying grew anxious. She had only meant to play a small joke; if Bai Xiaosheng came back, they could continue enjoying the spectacle, or if not, just leave. There was absolutely no need to get involved and complicate things for himself.

Han Shuying took long strides, reaching Bai Xiaosheng’s side in a few steps.

”Hey, you’re not seriously thinking of stepping in, are you? Don’t go looking for trouble!” Han Shuying said, ”Besides, do you even understand this stuff? You’ll be laughed at!”

”You said it yourself, I’m a master, so I’ve got to show some skill,” Bai Xiaosheng replied irritably, glancing at Han Shuying and truly walking over.

Han Shuying was both angry and annoyed, reaching out to grab Bai Xiaosheng but catching only air.

With one sleeve missing, Bai Xiaosheng was naturally out of her grasp.

The ’raggedly dressed’ Master Bai, stood proudly in front of Scarface, extending his hand.

”Pass it over, the master here wants to take a closer look!”
