BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1024 - Pay the Money
Chapter 1024 Pay the Money
“Do you know an expert who’s also a member of the Antiques Association?” the middle-aged man asked Gu Ning again.“Sure,” Gu Ning said. Actually, if this middle-aged man was willing to pay the money without causing trouble, Gu Ning wouldn’t bother to call an expert over.
The middle-aged man hesitated, and others all noticed his unusual reaction. They began to believe that this Yixing clay teapot was a real antique.
“If the teapot is real, and this man refuses to admit that he broke it, the boy and his grandfather will be victims.”
“Right, he’s such a bad man.”
“Lower your voice. He’s the brother-in-law of the boss of Juxiang Shop. Don’t mess with him!”
“What? The boss of Juxiang Shop is his brother-in-law? No wonder he’s so arrogant!”
“Well, if the girl really knows someone in the Antiques Association, even Juxiang Shop couldn’t deny it.”
“I do hope that the girl can really help the poor boy.”
“···”
Gu Ning had heard of Juxiang Shop, but it was barely comparable to her Xiangyun Antique-store.
Xiangyun Antique-store had the support of Jiang Zhongyu who was the ex leader of the Antiques Association, so nobody dared to cause trouble for Xiangyun Antique-store.
If it was necessary, Gu Ning would turn to Jiang Zhongyu for help.
The middle-aged man still hesitated to make a decision.
“Sir, why are you hesitating? Please make the call right now. We’re all waiting for you,” Gu Ning said and urged him.
“You...” The middle-aged man felt cornered. All of a sudden, he pushed the boy away with violence and said, “It’s none of your business!”
After that, he wanted to escape, because he believed that the onlookers didn’t dare to stop him. However, just as he moved, Gu Ning made him stumble and fall.
With a loud sound, the man hit the hard ground and screamed in pain.
Most people were scared by his loud scream, but some still felt amused and laughed.
The middle-aged man felt humiliated in public.
“How dare you!” He turned to glare at Gu Ning.
“So what?” Gu Ning sneered.
“You...” The middle-aged man didn’t know what to say.
“Pay the money now, or I’ll call the police,” Gu Ning said with impatience.
“The boss of Juxiang Shop is my brother-in-law, and he’ll punish you!” The middle-aged man used Juxiang Shop to threaten Gu Ning.
“Are you an idiot? If I was afraid of Juxiang Shop, I wouldn’t have stopped you from escaping after knowing about your relationship with Juxiang Shop,” Gu Ning said and mocked the middle-aged man.
Hearing that, people were curious about Gu Ning’s family background. Since she wasn’t afraid of Juxiang Shop at all, her family must be more powerful than it.
“You...” The middle-aged man glared at her again.
“Who are you?” he asked.
“The boss of Xiangyun Antique-store, Gu Ning,” Gu Ning said.
Most people who visited the antique street often had heard of the boss of Xiangyun Antique-store. They knew that its boss was a young girl named Gu Ning, but not many of them had seen her in real life. Therefore, people were all shocked looking at Gu Ning now.
What? She’s the boss of Xiangyun Antique-store, Gu Ning?
Nobody thought that she was lying, because Xiangyun Antique-store wasn’t far from where they were on the antique street.
“She’s the boss of Xiangyun Antique-store?”
“She’s so young and beautiful!”
“Since she’s the boss of Xiangyun Antique-store, this man is doomed.”
“Right, I heard that Xiangyun Antique-store has the support of Master Jiang and Master Xu!”
“Ha-ha, the man deserves it.”
“He must pay the money.”
“···”
People began to discuss them, and the middle-aged man was totally stunned now.
“I’ll ask you for the last time. Will you pay the money, or should I call the police?” Gu Ning asked.
“I-I’ll pay the money,” the middle-aged man said and clenched his teeth.
“Great, let’s go to the appraisal center to see how much you should pay,” Gu Ning said.
“Fine.” The middle-aged man was left no choice. He tolerated the pain around his body, and did his best to get back to his feet.
“Come on, let’s go to the appraisal center together,” Gu Ning said to the boy.
“Thanks!” The body put the pieces of Yixing clay teapot into a bag and followed Gu Ning.
The middle-aged man also walked behind them towards the appraisal center.
Because of the heavy fall, the middle-aged man walked slowly, but Gu Ning didn’t urge him.
“Thank you again for your help,” the boy said to Gu Ning after walking ahead for a while.
“My pleasure.” Gu Ning smiled. She was very kind to the boy.
When they walked near, Gu Ning saw Chen Darong looking around at the door.
“Hi, boss!” Chen Darong walked to welcome Gu Ning once he saw her.
