Chapter 159 Breakthrough Part 5
"And now that I actually managed to win the bet, you are smearing mud on my family name and backing out so casually? Tch. Tch. That doesn't seem fair at all."
The typically calm and silent woman suddenly became eloquent making Grandpa Su speechless.
Every single word she spoke was accurate. So he couldn't refute her argument in the slightest.
His mind raced to think of something sound to counterattack her words, but Mama Meng beat him to it. "Slut, how dare you run your mouth after cheating so brazenly?"
Of course, when one lacks both class and manners, why would logic matter?
So Mama Meng didn't care about anything else and continued chiding her without any reason.
Su Lin face palmed in frustration. With this loud-mouthed woman around, how can anyone else peacefully carry on their conversation?
She threw a threatening glance towards Shi Meng, who instantly shivered and pulled his mom away.
And just like that within seconds, the silence was restored. Grandpa Su again started walking away but Su Lin stopped him.
"How about I pick a rock from your old friend Lu Che's shop? Would you then accept your genuine defeat?" Her cold gaze arrested Grandpa Su in place, forcing him to face reality.
"Surely your loyal friend must not have colluded secretly with me beforehand?" Today he was not leaving without accepting his defeat! Su Lin was determined.
Grandpa Su started sweating. The situation was turning stickier by the second.
By now this small bet had turned into such a fiasco that he even regretted talking to Su Lin in the first place.
He should have just ignored the damn woman and went his way. Then none of this would have happened.
But now that he was completely cornered, he had no other choice but to accept her terms.
Her proposal was so genuine that he couldn't refuse.
Grandpa Su cursed Su Lin under his breath and walked back towards Lu Che's shop.
"Show her some raw materials old Lu?" His tired voice sounded weak and lethargic.
"Such a vicious woman. She is not even letting the tired old master be."
"It is just a small bet. So what if she lost? How petty!"
"Youngsters nowadays completely lack manners."
No matter what Su Lin did, the crowd always seemed to be against her in one way or the other. That was the power of reputation!
Su family's solid foundation and monstrous reputation was completely overshadowing Su Lin and her efforts.
She can't always afford to be so kind-hearted and generous.
Monkey would have rolled his eyes if he had heard Su Lin say this, but unfortunately, he was not here. When was his evil master ever kind-hearted? What a load of bullshit?!
Again with all the eyes on her, Su Lin looked around and randomly picked a rock just after a mere 2 seconds.
"Are you serious?" Grandpa Su couldn't help but exclaim in frustration. He just couldn't understand her actions.
But Su Lin calmly nodded. This indeed was her selection!
"Fine. Here, get this processed Lu Che." Grandpa Su tiredly called the gem cutter over.
Su Han lifted his head and looked at Su Lin with frustration. "Why are you doing all this? Can't you see Grandpa is tired?"
"Did I ask him to block my papers?" Su Lin instantly shot back. She did not want to take any more shit from this hypocritical family.
"Fine. I will personally make sure your stupid papers are signed and approved. Now can we put an end to this unnecessarily exaggerated drama."
Su Han ignored his grand father's protesting looks and tried to smooth the situation over.
"Fine by me. Don't change your words tomorrow." Su Lin shrugged her shoulders and agreed.
Even she was fed up with this whole endeavor. It was almost evening and she wanted to see her two loved ones.
Besides, she knew what was going to happen in the next two seconds...
She was already determined to win this wager, so of course, she was not going to let them off so easily.
Just as Su Han and grandpa Su started leaving the shop, loud gasps echoed in the crowd.
Perfect timing!
The profusely sweating gem cutter was dusting off the sand and gravel from the pristine transparent emerald green precious stone, the Imperial jade.
The very sight of this beautiful hue struck fear in the on looker's hearts.
A monster had arrived!!
A new monster that can apparently pick out extremely precious jadeites within seconds from seemingly ordinary rocks had arrived!
The grandfather and the son, who were almost out of the shop stood frozen in their spot.
Both of them stared dumbfounded at the sight in front of them. They regretted not backing out of this crappy situation much sooner.
Observing the awkward situation, the crowd slowly dispersed. No one wanted to be around for the fallout which was about to happen.
One wrong look and the Su family's wrath might target them instead. It was best to get out before this scene any more unsightly.
One thing was for sure. The jewelry industry hierarchy was going to see a major upheaval.
Ignoring the awkward plight of the grandfather and grandson pair, Su Lin revealed a brilliant smile as she passed a few instructions to her dumbfounded assistant Ah Min.
"Don't forget to get all our precious stones delivered."
Ah Min finally snapped back to reality and nodded fervently at her boss.
Her boss was a god! What almighty talent and what inhumane guts?! The woman deserved to be worshipped on a pedestal!!
