"My dear brother, this really isn't expensive! Look at the patterns, look at the quality. Besides, I'm telling you, this jade was used by the wealthy during the Tang Dynasty. There's a hole drilled here, and when it's worn as a pendant, it can ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune!"
"Boss, how about this? I'll buy this jade for 1,500 yuan, but give me some trinkets too."
The dimpled man froze for a while, feeling the pinch.
However, there were some items that definitely could not be sold, many of which he gave away with purchases.
Since his opening today, she was the only one who took a liking to a jade ornament.
He looked around, took a few small things, and pushed them to Lin Rui.
"Little Brother, pick out two of the items here. Only two, no further additions! I'm already selling it to you at a loss. Ah, if it wasn't for your good looks... Oh, if it wasn't for the fact that you look kind, I wouldn't even give you a discount!"
Lin Rui looked down a little and seemed to have hesitated for a while before nodding again reluctantly.
Lin Rui first picked a circular fan from the pile of knick-knacks.
In fact, there were all sorts of fans in the shop. Although they looked nice, they only cost about 20 yuan.
After she picked and selected, she finally chose a wooden comb.
The wooden comb was black in color, and the patterns on it were more like cracks. The quality was mediocre, and it may not be as valuable as the small round fan.
Seeing that she had chosen those two inconspicuous things, the dimpled man finally put his mind at ease.
He delightedly wrapped up those three items for Lin Rui before enthusiastically showing her the QR code for the WeChat mobile payment.
"Little boy, you can just make the transfer directly."
"Sure." Lin Rui took out her cellphone, and just as she was about to scan the code, someone pressed her hand down.
Seemingly afraid of gossip, the man immediately retracted his hand and gently pressed down Lin Rui's hand.
However, at the instant that she came into contact with that hand, Lin Rui suddenly felt a wave of pressure.
He was a cultivator!
'Perhaps, he might be related to those alchemy families.'
"Hey, don't be fooled by him. These items are not even worth 100 yuan."
Lin Rui raised her head again and saw a man with an icy cold aura. He was frowning and speaking in a serious and righteous tone.
If he put on a uniform, he would be a proper law enforcement officer.
Lin Rui was holding onto a bag of items and her cellphone, not in a hurry to answer.
The dimpled man was immediately upset.
He strode away from his stall with his long legs and grabbed the collar of the austere man.
The dimpled man barked fiercely, "Mo Ran, are you bent on making things hard for me? Since when did I cheat him? I didn't try to hard-sell these items to this boy, he took a liking to them on his own accord. If you don't believe me, ask him for yourself!"
Mo Ran effortlessly pushed his hand away, as if he didn't use any force at all.
He turned his head and said to Lin Rui solemnly, "Kid, these things are not valuable at all. You don't have to give him 1,500 yuan, At most, just give him 150 yuan."
"Mo Ran!" the dimpled man immediately flared up and hollered again.
He was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Mo Ran reached out to press his hand on the head of the dimpled man and said softly, "Yixiao, cut it out."
"Screw you! Who are you to change the prices presumptuously? Do you know that I will soon be homeless and stranded on the streets? If I become homeless, I'll go live in your place!"
"Sure."
Bai Yixiao was speechless.
