Chapter 743: Ginger Is Still Spicier when Old

Xiao Meng lowered her head and pinched the blue diamond bracelet. The delicate and smooth gem surface scratched her skin, which actually made Xiao Meng feel a strange obsession.

Maybe girls like this kind of shiny things, it's natural.

The little boy, who was being held by Xiao Meng's hand, saw that his sister was motionless and timidly tugged on Xiao Meng's sleeve.

"Sister, I'm hungry..."

The boy's eyes were watery, with a little grievance and sadness.

When Xiao Meng heard these words, she suddenly broke away from her reluctance.

She turned her head, glanced at the short brother beside her, and subconsciously ran her hand through his soft and short hair, finally suppressing the reluctance in her heart.

But even if she likes this bracelet, she and her brother still need food and accommodation!

Xiaomeng gritted her teeth, and finally pulled her brother and walked quickly towards a jewelry store.

…

It was a large-scale jewelry store, all decorated splendidly, but there were only a few customers.

Xiaomeng's family background is not very good, and she rarely goes to such a high-end place, so she can't help but feel a little cramped.

As soon as she entered, she saw two female clerks in uniform chatting and laughing at the front desk.

Xiao Meng held her brother by the hand and walked quickly towards the two female clerks.

"Hello, can you ask the shopkeeper to come out and let me sell some jewelry?"

After hearing Xiao Meng's words, the two clerks finally raised their heads. They saw Xiao Meng's simple clothes and a fresh blood scab on her head, and they became a little impatient at that moment.

A little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, what can she sell?

"Go, go, little girl, our store only sells jewelry and does not accept jewelry."

As she spoke, the tall female clerk showed a look of disdain in her eyes, which made Xiaomeng shrink her eyes, but tightened her grip on her brother's sleeves.

She hates being looked down upon most...

Xiao Meng glanced at the few customers who were far away in the store, and finally gritted her teeth and took out the blue diamond necklace from her pocket.

In just a moment, Xiao Meng took it back.

But just a few seconds were enough for the two shop assistants to notice the extraordinary blue luster of the bracelet.

Especially the rose carved from blue gemstones in the middle is so dazzling.

The texture of this jewelry...

It feels like a blue diamond?

The two clerks couldn't help looking at each other when they thought of this.

The two of them have been involved in the jewelry industry for many years, but if what they just saw at a glance was genuine, how could it be possible that an ordinary girl in her fifteenth or sixteenth year could handle it?

It's not just a matter of age and clothing. When Xiao Meng stood in front of her, her expression was obviously reserved. She was obviously not an aristocratic lady who often played with jewelry.

Xiao Meng saw the expressions of the two clerks changing, and felt relieved suddenly, while pretending to be impatient and urging.

"I will only communicate with your shop owner. If you like it, call him out immediately!"

The two shop assistants looked at each other. In order not to miss a good string of jewelry, they finally invited Xiao Meng to come to the inner room to talk, and the person in charge of their store was inside.

…

The owner of this jewelry store had a sharper vision than the two female clerks. He immediately confirmed that this was an authentic product, but at the same time he was still a little confused.

"Little girl, this bracelet isn't yours, is it?"

The shop owner has already had the idea that he must get this blue diamond bracelet, but on the surface he is still trying to trick Xiao Meng, and he has not made it clear what kind of gemstones are inlaid on the bracelet.

"Who said that! It's... it's mine!"

Xiaomeng is young, and she knows that this bracelet is indeed not hers, and the shop owner made it clear in such a straightforward way. No matter how precocious she is, she is still a little timid.

When the shop owner saw Xiao Meng's trying-to-cover-up but unavoidable panic look, he became even more aware.

He reached out and knocked on the table, simply not discussing the source with Xiao Meng.

——He has been in the jewelry industry for so many years, and his chain stores are all over the major stars. He is also a well-known veteran in the industry.

No matter where this blue diamond bracelet comes from, the shop owner is confident that he can sell it off the black market. At that time, it will be none of his business!

"Okay, I'm too lazy to ask these questions. The quality of this bracelet looks good. It's worth 10,000 interstellar coins, no matter the price. If you are willing to sell it, I can transfer the funds to your card now!"

When Xiao Meng heard the store owner say 10,000 interstellar coins, she was a little stunned. She had already guessed from the attitude of the store owner and clerk that this was a genuine product, but she didn't expect it to be worth so much money.

To her, it was an astronomical figure!

After all, Xiaomeng learned from Gu Gu's people that selling a pretty slave girl would only cost a few thousand interstellar coins at most.

Just seeing that the shop owner agreed so readily and said that he could pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the same hand, Xiao Meng, a little fox, still realized that something was wrong, but she didn't think too much, she just thought that the price could be raised a few more times.

"No, too little!"

When the shop owner heard this, his face suddenly turned cold. He looked at Xiao Meng with disdain and scolded her.

"No one else would dare to accept items of unknown origin like yours, and the quality is just mediocre. Do you think anyone would want it after it has been released from our store?"

The shop owner has long been sure that this bracelet is not Xiaomeng's, so this is definitely the little girl's Achilles heel.

Xiao Meng blushed and tried to tell a number.

"Ten thousand is too little! I want to raise the price...five thousand! Fifteen thousand, the best price!"

Hearing Xiao Meng's words, the shop owner laughed in his heart, and at the same time he felt like he was lucky.

A country bumpkin is a country bumpkin, not counting the dozens of fine diamonds. The blue rose diamond in the middle alone is enough to fetch a sky-high price. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is worth a fortune!

However, the shop owner didn't show it on the surface. Instead, he had a pained expression, as if he was hesitating whether it was worth it.

"too expensive……"

How could Xiao Meng compare to an old fox like this who had been up and down in the mall for many years? She suddenly panicked and immediately muttered about lowering her worth.

"Since you think it's expensive, then go for 13,000!"

The shopkeeper was very happy and nodded solemnly: "Deal! Where is your card, little girl?"

Xiao Meng said nonchalantly: "I don't have a Star UnionPay card, I lost it..."

The shop owner couldn't help but be stunned - he didn't even have a UnionPay card, but he was becoming more and more curious about how Xiao Meng got such a rare necklace.

In order to avoid trouble, the shop owner simply gave her a new card. Compared to the blue diamond necklace, the cost of this card was nothing to mention!

…

As soon as Xiao Meng was sent out of the room, the shopkeeper immediately took out the blue diamond bracelet and used various tools to examine it carefully.

The more I looked at it, the more amazed I became, and even felt a faint sense of fear.

The shop owner rubbed his brow, and in order to avoid getting into trouble, he finally took a photo and prepared to contact an old expert.
