Chapter 19 Raw Stone
"Where are you?"
Jiang Chenfeng had just dropped Liu Xinlan back at the Liu Group when he encountered another problem.
Su Yanran, that Leg Spirit, called him!
Talk about fearing something and having it happen!
He tried his best to distance himself from the Female Protagonists in the book, yet they kept seeking him out on their own.
What on earth is going on?
What is wrong with this world?
Why is no one following the plot script?
Do they really want the protagonist to kill me?
"Miss Su, do you need something?"
"I'm going to the jade market tomorrow. If you have time, come with me!"
"Huh?"
Jiang Chenfeng suddenly shuddered, recalling the upcoming plot.
That's right!
It's the jade market plot!
There isn't a single urban novel that can avoid the protagonist's treasure appraisal plot.
According to the original novel's plot, Protagonist Lin Tian would cut open a top-tier Imperial Green jade in the market and make a fortune!
Along the way, during the treasure appraisal and stone gambling, the protagonist would show off and slap faces, winning the admiration and heart of a beauty.
Picking up bargains!
Showing off!
Slapping faces!
These are the three essential elements of stone gambling plots.
A stinky Villain like Jiang Chenfeng could only end up being the target of the face-slapping.
"If it's a blessing, it's not a disaster; if it's a disaster, it's unavoidable!"
Jiang Chenfeng gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! I'll go with you tomorrow!"
He had to participate in the original plot to earn rewards and improve himself!
If he kept avoiding every plot point and didn't get any rewards, he would be dead sooner or later!
...
The next morning.
Jiang Chenfeng drove to the Su Family and waited for Su Yanran at the main gate.
Not long after.
He saw Su Yanran walk out of the Su Family, dressed very beautifully!
Especially those long, straight legs; they made Jiang Chenfeng's heart race, and his gaze was uncontrollably drawn to her flawless legs.
He didn't know if Su Yanran had deliberately dressed like this to show off her long legs.
[The Leg Spirit really lives up to her name. These legs are truly soul-stirring; they're going to be the death of me!]
[Not to mention how beautiful her face is, just looking at these legs, I could play with them for a year without getting bored!]
Su Yanran, sitting in the passenger seat, heard Jiang Chenfeng's inner voice and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
She had to admit, although Jiang Chenfeng's inner voice was a bit lewd, it actually made her quite happy.
What woman doesn't want to hear praise for herself?
Su Yanran used to hate Jiang Chenfeng, but now her opinion of him had changed.
Even hearing Jiang Chenfeng's lewd inner thoughts, the joy in her heart outweighed her disgust.
"Why are you going to the jade market?"
Jiang Chenfeng tried his best to control his gaze from wandering, but he still couldn't stop himself from glancing at the passenger seat.
[What a Leg Spirit! She's ruining my dao heart!]
[Knowing that her legs are arguably the best in Yun Province, she still dares to dress like this!]
[If you walked out with these legs, wouldn't all other women be ashamed to show their faces?]
Su Yanran's lips curled up uncontrollably. She leaned back against the passenger seat, crossed her left leg over her right, stretched, and said, "I'm going to visit an elder. That elder likes jade very much, so I want to go to the jade market myself, pick one that catches my eye, and buy it as a gift for that Elderly Person."
"I see! Aren't you afraid of buying a worthless piece of jade? Wouldn't it be embarrassing to give that as a gift?"
"That's where you're wrong! Even if I don't understand jade and buy something worthless, that elder won't be angry. Instead, it gives us something to talk about. Do you think they really care how expensive the jade I give is? They just want my sincerity. If they wanted expensive jade, I could just pay a lot of money to buy it directly; why would I need to make the trip myself?"
The ways of the world!
Someone who could make Su Yanran visit in person must not be an ordinary person.
They certainly aren't short on pocket change!
On the contrary, if Su Yanran brought a worthless piece of jade, it would actually let the other person know that Su Yanran had personally gone to the jade market to pick it out, which would show her sincerity, right?
Jiang Chenfeng didn't say anything more. After half an hour, they arrived at the jade market.
They parked the car outside and walked into the jade street, seeing many street stalls set up along the way.
Su Yanran's pair of perfect long legs really attracted a lot of people's attention.
Perhaps because Jiang Chenfeng wasn't the protagonist, no one intentionally came up to hit on Su Yanran.
If Jiang Chenfeng were the protagonist in the book, there would probably already be thugs coming up to hit on her.
In the end, they would fail, get angry out of shame, try to get physical, and then be taught a lesson by the protagonist.
Jiang Chenfeng already knew this clichéd plot by heart.
Jiang Chenfeng checked the time; the real protagonist's entrance should be soon!
He and Su Yanran entered a relatively well-decorated jade shop and started browsing.
About ten minutes later.
Noisy, clamorous sounds came from outside the jade shop.
Many people walked out, as if something lively was happening outside.
Jiang Chenfeng also ran to the door of the jade shop and saw that Protagonist Lin Tian had already appeared, arguing with a middle-aged man.
"You haven't paid yet, so why can't I buy it?" Lin Tian held a piece of rough stone and said.
The middle-aged man said dissatisfiedly, "I was just hesitating about whether to buy it or not, and you just snatched it away. You should at least respect first-come, first-served, right?"
"First-come, first-served means whoever pays first gets the jade!"
Lin Tian took out a stack of hundred-yuan bills and threw them in front of the stall owner.
He hadn't come here specifically for stone gambling; he was just passing by and decided to come in and take a look.
When he saw the rough stone in his hand and determined that it contained high-value jade, he bought it without hesitation.
It was just that the middle-aged man had set his eyes on this rough stone first and was struggling with whether to spend the money to buy it.
As a result, Lin Tian came and cut in, making the middle-aged man feel uncomfortable, which led to the argument.
[It's here, just as expected!]
[This passerby doesn't even know who he's dealing with! If he knew Lin Tian's identity, he would definitely run away with his tail between his legs. How would he dare to stay here? Isn't he afraid of getting his face slapped?]
[In front of the protagonist, even a stray dog passing by would get slapped twice!]
Su Yanran heard Jiang Chenfeng's muttering and almost laughed out loud.
Even a passing dog would get slapped twice?
Is it really that exaggerated?
"It's opening! It's opening!"
"Huh? It's showing jade!"
"Hiss! This clarity is pretty good!"
Sure enough.
When the rough stone in Lin Tian's hand was cut open, it immediately caused a sensation at the scene.
The stall owner also showed surprise and regret, saying enviously, "Looking at this clarity, it's worth at least several hundred thousand!"
