“Don’t worry, I’m not that impulsive. We’re just going in to take a look. Can’t we just take a look? It’s been a long time since I bought any jewelry. At the very least, I want to see what the jewelry in Country M looks like and how much they cost!” Qiao Mei said.

What she said did make sense. They had heard that Country M was a gold-producing country and that gold was not expensive here. Perhaps after they earned some money, they could come here to buy some gold before they went back.

Xia He believed what Qiao Mei said and reluctantly walked into the jewelry trading center. The service staff inside looked up excitedly. The staff first sized up Qiao Mei and Xia He by looking at their outfits and the value of the jewelry they were wearing. After confirming that these were two poor people, all of them simply kept quiet.

Xia He glared at these service staff angrily. These people were really stuck-up. If this was the capital, she would definitely buy half of the jewelry displayed inside the counter in a fit of pique and show it to them!

“h.e.l.lo, Miss. Is there anything you need?” A sweet-looking service staff came over to Qiao Mei and Xia He.

Qiao Mei looked at the name tag of the service staff. Her name was Lisa. Qiao Mei said calmly, “h.e.l.lo, Lisa. I want to sell some jewelry. Do you buy jewelry here?”

“Yes, but the price will depend on the quality of the jewelry you offer,” Lisa explained.

“Do you also accept loose diamonds and gold?” Qiao Mei asked again.

“Yes, but Miss, I have to let you know that we don’t buy jewelry here based on the selling price. We can only quote you a price after the appraiser takes a look at it,” Lisa reminded her thoughtfully. She was worried that Qiao Mei and Xia He did not have much experience since it was their first time here. She wanted to give them more information so that they could avoid unnecessary trouble.

“Alright, thank you. Please take me there,” Qiao Mei said as she dusted off the tattered cloth bag in her hands.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Qiao Mei did not pack up the jewelry nicely. If it looked too nice or too grand and then got stolen or s.n.a.t.c.hed away on the street, her capital to make a comeback would be all gone!

She had taken precautions too. The jewelry in the bag was wrapped up tightly with vines. Even if she was robbed, the thief would not be able to pry open the vines unless it was set on fire. However, once the thief used fire, the value of these jewelry would be greatly reduced.

Lisa brought them to the appraisal center inside the building. This was the largest jewelry appraisal store in Country M. From the moment they entered, they were followed the entire time. This place also had a lot of bulletproof protection to guard against any incidents.

Qiao Mei was surprised to find that there were surveillance cameras here. These looked like the original types which were old and c.u.mbersome. As expected of a developed country, their equipment was already advanced. “Miss, please wait here. We can only place the jewelry on this tray. We’re not allowed to enter from this point,” Lisa said as she pointed at the tray.

“That won’t do! How do we know who gets hold of this jewelry in the end? What if you steal and change out our jewelry!” Xia He said quickly.

“Don’t worry, it’s absolutely safe here. We will be able to see the jewelry being delivered to the appraiser with our own eyes. However, we can only stay on the other side of the gla.s.s wall. The jewelry will be delivered inside and our surveillance cameras will also record the entire process. Please don’t worry, Miss,” Lisa said in a gentle tone.

Qiao Mei took out a loose diamond that was the size of a pigeon egg from her bag and placed it on the tray. Lisa’s expression did not change, but Xia He’s eyes almost popped out. She clearly remembered that Qiao Mei did not bring much jewelry when she came to Country M, not even the bangle that Grandmother had given her. Where did this thing come from? And how did she get past security checks?

Xia He knew very well that she could not ask these questions here. With a head full of questions, she accompanied Qiao Mei to the next stage of the process. They sat quietly in front of the gla.s.s window and watched the appraisers working inside the room.

This was the first time the appraisers in the room had seen such a perfect loose diamond with such purity and cut. Even the auction house would accept a loose diamond of this quality.

The rules of their profession did not allow them to buy the jewelry in the shop they worked at. This was to prevent them from deliberately lowering the price, among other things. Otherwise, the appraisers here would definitely want to keep this loose diamond for themselves.

After some discussion, they solemnly came up with an offer.

They quoted 120,000 dollars..
