Son-in-Law Is a Medical Genius novel Chapter 182
"Forget it, let’s not bring it up again," Helen said angrily. "I’d get angry every time I think about it!”
Demi played with the jade bracelet and said, "Mom, let’s sell this bracelet. On one hand, we can get some money. At the same time, my sister will finally know that the old crone’s bracelet is just a worthless piece of trash. Let her come to her senses for a bit!”
Initially, Helen wanted to throw the jade bracelet, but she didn't do it when she heard that they might make some money by selling it.
"Sure, go ahead. You can keep the money.”
Helen did not think that the jade bracelet was worth much. It was dull; certainly not good jade.
As such, Demi and Liam took the jade bracelet and went directly to a nearby jade shop, intending to sell it.
When the owner saw the jade bracelet, he froze for a moment. Then, he leaned close, examining it for a long time.
Demi said impatiently, "Hey, I think you’ve looked at it long enough. Quote a price now; I still have errands to run!"
The boss narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled. "Miss, where did you get this jade bracelet?”
"I'm just selling a jade bracelet, so what’s with the twenty questions?” Demi said sullenly.
The owner shook his head. "That's not what I meant. In our industry, we don't accept inauthentic jade. This is the unspoken rule!”
Demi did not know either, so she casually said, "It was an old woman who gave it to me. She wanted to pass it down to her own daughter, so she took me in as a goddaughter and gave it to me."
As she spoke, however, she did not notice the look that flashed across the owner’s eyes.
He took a breath and smiled. “Miss, since you know the primary source of this jade, it is easy to negotiate. This jade bracelet is not of good quality, and it is very common. However, I have a similar jade bracelet here. Combined, it might have a bit more value. So, I can give you a higher price for this. What about 18,000?” The owner spoke in a low voice, seemingly hesitant with his words.
Demi was stunned. She thought the bracelet would be worth one to two thousand at most. She didn't expect it to be more than ten thousand.
But she wasn’t a fool either.
The owner's first bid must be a little false.
Demi pursed her lips and said, "18,000? Are you kidding me?! How can this jade bracelet be worth so little?”
“H-How much do you want then?” asked the boss, his expression changing slightly.
Demi thought carefully before saying, “35,000!”
The owner had been observing Demi closely, and saw that she looked uneasy. He knew that she did not understand a thing about jade.
He wanted to accept the bargain, but he was worried that he would seem too eager, and Demi wouldn't sell it.
“I can’t give you that price! Well, let's make a compromise. I'll give you 25,000! This is also the maximum amount that I’m willing to pay, so think carefully!"
The owner pretended to hesitate, which made Demi panic.
Finally, after some bargaining, this jade bracelet was sold for 28,000.
Demi took the large sum of money and happily walked out of the store.
Meanwhile, the owner took the jade bracelet and immediately went into the backyard, making a phone call.
"Honey, pack up our things quickly! Don't worry about anything else; just take the valuables along. Pick up our child and wait for me downstairs, quickly! Don’t ask questions. If we were able to leave, we are going to be rich! I just got a jade bracelet worth more than a hundred million. If we can sell it, our family will be able to live a lavish life!”
