Chapter 346: Pure Gold Pixiu

“Not to mention our Nangong family, even the money in my hands… is like a mountain. I can fill in this small flaw at any time. As long as I say the word, everything will be resolved.”

Nangong Yupiao deliberately looked at Guan Chibei and specially displayed her ability.

Actually, for the past few days, Nangong Yupiao felt a little uncomfortable and conflicted. On the one hand, Guan Chibei’s status was low. According to normal standards, he was not worthy to appear by her side.

However, she seemed to like the other party a little… Nangong Yupiao felt that it was quite awkward. Guan Chibei… It was a little difficult for her to say that she liked him.

Secondly, Guan Chibei already had a wife… It was not that Nangong Yupiao cared about a married man, but Guan Chibei’s wife was a village woman. There was a huge difference between them.

Nangong Yupiao was interested in Guan Chibei, but she could not compare herself to Guan Chibei’s wife.

Therefore, after Nangong Yupiao returned from Yunwu Village that day, she had been conflicted for a few days. The main reason was that she couldn’t cross this hurdle.

Later on, she thought of a new trick. That was… in front of Guan Chibei, she would not lose face and lower her status.

However, she had to attract Guan Chibei’s attention.

Therefore, she thought of doing the opposite. She could not say that she had any thoughts in front of Guan Chibei, but she could show her power and status.

She would let Guan Chibei see her superiority.

She specially picked out the shortcomings Guan Chibei had and showed that she could help him… Wouldn’t that make Guan Chibei value her more?

Perhaps the best solution was to let Guan Chibei take the initiative to be interested in her.

This way, Guan Chibei would fall in love with her step by step… but she would also not lose her status and self-esteem.

This was why Nangong Yupiao had come today with such a tone.

However, only she felt that it was suitable. Everyone else frowned.

What else would this noble miss say?

The owner should be angry soon.

However, all the customers guessed wrongly. Guan Chibei was not angry. His expression was still calm as he said, “Miss Nangong, you’re from the Nangong family, so you naturally have an extraordinary status. We’re just a small shop. May I know why you’re here today?”

Nangong Yupiao smiled, but she was satisfied. She felt that Guan Chibei had made the first step to acknowledge her status.

She coughed lightly and said, “I happened to know that this is your shop. I happened to pass by today for your first day of business, so I came in to take a look. I once… knew you, so I wanted to see your new shop.”

Nangong Yupiao’s words sounded like she was superior.

“This is my gift to you for your opening. Yue’er, bring the gift up.”

A maidservant behind her walked forward with a brocade box in her hand. It was even bigger than Madam Rufei’s. It was covered in gold satin and looked very noble.

Everyone was in an uproar again and felt that they didn’t understand this noblewoman. What did she come over for? Her words were unpleasant, but in the blink of an eye, she gave such an extravagant gift.

“This is a pure gold Pixiu.” Nangong Yupiao had spent a lot. Not only was her gift shocking, but when she spoke, she was also very arrogant. She raised her chin and said, “There are gold coins everywhere under its feet. The thing that comes out of its mouth is liquid gold. I got a first-grade craftsman to carve this. The hairs on its body are obvious. Take a look. It’s definitely a treasure you’ve never seen before. It’s worth a lot of money and also attracts money.”

Yue’er opened the brocade box in front of everyone and immediately revealed the Pixiu inside.

Then, all the customers were shocked. This Pixiu was not small at all. It was as big as an adult man’s fist. If such a big Pixiu was made of pure gold…

This was at least a few catties.

This was really generous. Everyone was shocked and looked at this shop a lot differently. This new shop did not seem to have a prominent reputation. Why were there so many nobles coming to congratulate them?!

They were even so generous with their gifts…

“Take it. Place it on the table and attract money for your shop. When other people enter your shop, they could be considered to have something that they like.” Nangong Yupiao raised her head and spoke with a sense of superiority.

Guan Chibei’s eyebrows moved and he said, “Miss Nangong’s gift…”

At this point, his original words changed and he suddenly said, “Miss Nangong came to deliver a gift. Mother, go in and call Lulu out.”

There was no need for Mother Rong to shout. Ye Lulu had already heard the commotion in front and happened to come out. When she saw this scene, her eyes flashed and she walked over. She smiled and said to the few of them:

“Oh, this is Miss Nangong. Our shop has just opened today, and Miss Nangong is here personally. We are really grateful to Miss Nangong.”

Ye Lulu smiled and said a string of words of welcome.

Nangong Yupiao paused as if she did not want to see Ye Lulu.

However, there seemed to be no choice. Ye Lulu had a share of this shop.

“You…” Nangong Yupiao paused for a moment and subconsciously raised her stance. She looked at Ye Lulu disdainfully and opened her mouth, but she didn’t know what to say.

Ye Lulu curled her lips and looked at the Pixiu. Her eyes flashed and she said with a smile, “Miss Nangong is too polite. This congratulatory gift is really too expensive. It’s actually a golden Pixiu.”

Nangong Yupiao was a little stunned and did not know if she should reply to Ye Lulu.

She shouldn’t reply. She came here for Guan Chibei and did not want to interact with Ye Lulu.

She did not even want to see her at all.

She shouldn’t reply… Ye Lulu was one of the owners of this new shop. Since she had come with the excuse of congratulating them and everyone was looking, it was inappropriate for her not to talk to Ye Lulu. Otherwise, she would be suspected.

Therefore, Nangong Yupiao did not know what to do.

On the other hand, her maidservant, Yue’er, knew what her master was thinking. She also felt that Guan Chibei was far from worthy of her master. In the end, her Miss fell for him and even took the initiative to look for him repeatedly.

She did not like Guan Chibei’s wife at all.

As Ye Lulu was Guan Chibei’s wife, Yue’er treated Ye Lulu as an insult to her Miss’ existence. She was extremely rude and said to Ye Lulu:

“Who are you? How dare you talk to our Miss? You don’t even deserve to talk to me.”

Guan Chibei’s expression froze.

Ye Lulu did not look angry. Instead, she looked surprised. “Who am I? I’m the lady boss of this shop.”

“I’m not even worthy to talk to you? Oh, then why did your Miss come to our shop to congratulate us? Do you mean that your Miss went to a place that can’t even compare to a servant like you?”

Yue’er’s expression froze when she heard Ye Lulu’s words. Her reaction was extremely embarrassing.

Ye Lulu’s voice turned cold imperceptibly and she added, “However, to be honest, even the beggars on the streets are nobler than you. At the very least, they’re humans and normal citizens of the Shang dynasty. However, you’re just a maidservant. You can’t even compare to commoners. You belong to your Miss. You’re no different from cats and dogs. Do you understand?”
