The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise Chapter 540 - Grumpy Fu Is Here To Save The Day

Chapter 540: Grumpy Fu Is Here To Save The Day

Wu Qi glanced across Lu Jingqing and his group in a condescending manner. “But since you’re my friend, I’ll not hesitate to offer you help if you need any. Should I lend you one of my advisors? Well, it goes without saying that he’s not as good as Master Chu, who’s known as the one with G.o.d’s eyes, but at the very least he’s better than your daughter.

“All of us came here for one reason: to get high-quality jades. Even if you don’t have anyone to help you, you shouldn’t put such a heavy burden on a child who does not know anything. Look at what she has done. She chased Master Chu away…”

As Wu Qi was talking, Wu Zhiheng was filled with a feeling of exaltation. He felt the sky had become bluer and the gra.s.s greener. Even the air felt more refreshed!

He was going to return all the humiliation he got from Fu Zhi the other day back to her.

He wanted her to know her own impotency and he wanted her to make a fool of herself in front of the public!

However, one might have great dreams, but more than often he or she could only enjoy harsh realities.

Fu Zhi just looked at him expressionlessly. There was no rage or anger or any kind of negative feelings on her face as Wu Zhiheng had expected as she said, “The one with G.o.d’s eyes?”

She harrumphed coldly, “He has astigmatism on his left eye and glaucoma on his right eyes, and you say he has the eye of G.o.d? Even if you’re an idiot, please keep it to yourself and don’t go around spreading your idiocy. Also, Chu Yunsheng, if you don’t know anything about stone gambling, stop acting like you’re a professional. Since you’ve decided to help the Wu Family, please give the money you get from the Gu Family back to me. Or else, I will sue you to the court for cheating.”

Both Wu Qi and Chu Yunsheng were stunned. By the time they came around to their senses, Chu Yunsheng’s face turned livid with rage.

Someone chuckled.

“I wonder why his eyes look so different from ours, so he has an eye disease.”

“Finally. The mystery has been solved.”

“Well, I know he has glaucoma… It’s just that n.o.body talks about it because of his fame.”

“So? You can’t ignore the fact that he’s still an expert in stone gambling even if he has glaucoma or eye disease?”

“An expert? Do you mean an expert in turning back on his words? A second earlier he promised the Lu Family that he would help them, but in the next second, he turned his back on them.”

—

Chu Yunsheng did not know what he should say.

He wanted to say something back to Fu Zhi, but no voice could come out of his mouth. This was something that he did not expect. He did not think that Fu Zhi would dare to talk like that to him in front of the public. Besides, the way she looked was like she was looking at a useless person, and he felt insulted.

In his opinion, he had never made a wrong decision in stone gambling before. The act of Fu Zhi chasing away was no different from spelling disaster, and he thought she would be begging him to come back. However, little did he expect that not only did she not do that, but she even had the guts to insult and belittle him? Chu Yunsheng could not accept it at all. He clenched his fist tightly and he could feel anger bubbling at the bottom of his heart.

Wu Zhiheng was in no better shape as well. He was here to humiliate Fu Zhi, but instead of getting what he wanted, Fu Zhi made them look like the laughing stock and it was a terrible feeling.

Overwhelmed by his rage, Wu Zhiheng said, “What do you mean by that, Fu Zhi? Are you looking down on Master Chu? This is stone gambling. It’s not a Physics compet.i.tion. You don’t know anything about stone gambling, so who do you think you’re to stand here and talk nonsense?”

Lu Jingqing stepped forward and interrupted, “Please mind your mouth, Young Master Wu. You’re willing to hire Mr. Chu to help you, and I’m willing to let my daughter help me. The Lu Family has money, so of course she’s qualified enough to stand here and voice her opinion. As for you, Young Master Wu. Don’t you think you’re being rude here for verbally a.s.saulting my daughter?”

“She’s qualified? You’re saying that she’s equal to Master Chu?!” Wu Zhiheng felt as if he had heard the funniest joke in his life. “Has the Lu Family become so poor that you can’t even afford to hire a better consultant?”

‘Well, have you guys forgotten about me?’ Jin Can thought inwardly after he heard what Wu Zhiheng had said.

Although he had not been very lucky recently, he could still be considered as a half expert.

“I guess it’s not your business?” Fu Zhi said as she threw a glance at the Wus, “You just need to know that the Lu Family will get every single piece of high-grade jade in this exhibition hall. As for you guys…”

Fu Zhi scanned across them before continuing, “Will get nothing.”

Wu Qi and Wu Zhiheng’s faces turned grim.

“Very well, Fu Zhi!” Chu Yunsheng took a deep breath to calm himself down and said, “Since you’re so confident that you will get a high-grade jade, why don’t we make a bet?”

“Bet?”

“If I get a high-grade jade, you’ll have to apologize to me and you’ll have to pay for the jade. Similarly, if you get a high-grade jade, I’ll also pay it regardless of the price. Are you up for the challenge?”

‘Holy, regardless of the price?’

Everyone was shocked. The price of a good piece of jade could reach up to a few hundred million, and it took a lot of guts to make such a bet!

It would be great if they won, but it would be h.e.l.l if they lost.

Just when everyone thought Fu Zhi was going to turn the challenge down, she fell into a short contemplation before nodding, “Okay.”

The crowd was dumbfounded and they looked at Fu Zhi like they were looking at an idiot. After they came around to their senses, they began to laugh at her.

Jin Can felt as if there were ants in his pants. He wanted to say something, but he found he was in no place to say anything at all. Therefore, he could only keep sending signals to Lu Jingqing to ask him to do something about his daughter.

However, Lu Jingqing said, “That’s been decided, then. I believe in my daughter.”

“Seriously? Dude, you…” Jin Can wanted to say something, but he did not know what to say. He hemmed and hawed for a long while before saying, “Get ready to lose all your money, dude.”

“Alright! Everyone here will be our witnesses, so you can’t go back on your words!” Wu Zhiheng said, his eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with delight.

After all, with Chu Yunsheng on their side, there was no way they would lose to an amateur like Fu Zhi. Not only were they able to get a high-grade jade without spending a single penny, but they could also deliver a fatal blow to the Lu Family. It was like killing two birds in one stone.

Wu Zhiheng then walked away with Chu Yunsheng. When Wu Qi was about to follow after his son, he turned his head and looked at Fu Zhi, who was making notes on a paper in her hand.

He wondered if she was being fearless because of her ignorance, or if she was hiding some trump card in her hand.

Wu Qi would not be so worried if it was the former, but what if it was the latter? He wondered who else was going to help her.

After all, Chu Yunsheng was the top stone gambler in Myanmar, so who else could Fu Zhi invite?

Wu Qi could not think it through, so he decided to not think about it.

It was just that he could not shake off the trepidation in his heart as he felt something was amiss.

Fu Zhi was unperturbed by the interlude.

“Girl, you only have to focus on two things when it comes to stone gambling: the appearance and the origin of the jade stones. This is because different mining areas will produce different qualities of jade stones, and…”

Since he could not stop Fu Zhi, Jin Can could only do his best to help her.

Fu Zhi felt a little annoyed at Jin Can, so she said, “Uncle Jin! I’ll make you a jade necklace if I get a high-grade jade, so can you stop talking?”

“Well, thank you… No, how can you be so sure that you can get a high-grade jade?!” Jin Can shouted, “And why are you looking at this jade stone? Look at the mining area. This mining area is notoriously well-known for its lack of high-grade jades, so there’s no way you will get a high-grade jade from this jade stone. Trust me, girl, let’s bid one billion on jade stone No. 20. After all, Chu Yunsheng is going to pay for it!”

“Uncle Jin, I’m sure that’s what Chu Yunsheng is thinking as well.”

Jin Can became speechless.

Four hours pa.s.sed by rapidly. When it’s 12 o’clock in the afternoon, all of them went back to their respective lounge to finalize their choices.

Even though she had done a lot of research, she only managed to appraise 40 or so jade stones since there were too many selections in the exhibition hall.

She was holding Lu Jingqing’s bidding form in her hand, and before anyone knew it, she wrote 26, 28, and 42 with the bidding price of 200 million, 80 million, and 40 million respectively on the form.

Jin Can did not know what to say.

“Hold on a second. Are you really sure about this? Are you not going for No. 20? I think No. 46 is quite promising as well. And n.o.body is going to bid for No. 26, so why do you put 200 million on it? You’re just wasting your money?”

Fu Zhi then replied firmly, “That’s not necessary. Just do as I say. No. 26 is the right one. If we set the price too low, other people might get it!”

Sitting on the couch, Lu Jingqing looked at Fu Zhi as she filled in the form. Although he looked as if he was very calm, in reality, he was nervous as well.

He even had made up his mind inwardly that he would eat instant noodles for the rest of his life so that his wife and daughter could live in a rather stable living environment.

Truth be told, could Lu Jingqing stop Fu Zhi? It went without saying that he could and bid on jade stone No. 20. It was just that he had full faith in his daughter, and he did not want to give her any trouble.

Jin Can did not know what to say anymore.

After today, not only the Lu Family had to declare bankruptcy, they would become the laughing stock in Myanmar as well.

Since he had tried everything he could to stop Fu Zhi, Jin Can just hoped that Lu Jingqing would not kill himself by jumping off a building.
