Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!-Chapter 281: Gone in a Single Stroke

"The way this young lady looks, even without dressing up, she’s prettier than a star." The salesgirl knew how to compliment, and she made Lin Xiang smile from ear to ear.

What she said was the truth, Yun Yue’s face was all natural, a far cry from the girls who had plastic surgery.

Yun Yue, with eyes slightly lowered, said nothing and casually began to browse.

The salesgirl attending them became anxious when she saw her wandering away, fearing another salesperson might snatch her attention.

Lin Xiang didn’t notice her expression, "Could you please show me that bracelet?"

"Sure, sure," the salesgirl said, her mind somewhat elsewhere as she helped Lin Xiang.

After leaving, Yun Yue casually browsed and was approached by several salesgirls offering help, but she declined them all.

It was only after she had looked around the entire store that she went to find Lin Xiang, by which time Lin Xuanze had already bought some bubble tea and returned.

"Here, full sugar."

He held one cup in one hand and two in the other, handing Yun Yue her bubble tea with the straw already inserted, sitting down on the bench beside her, chin propped on his hand as he sipped his own drink nonchalantly, then watching Lin Xiang tirelessly try on one piece after another.

Yun Yue glanced at the time, and finally, with a sense of resignation, she got up, "Aunt Xiang, there’s a bracelet here that would really suit you."

"Bracelet?" Lin Xiang took a look at the pieces she’d been trying on for over an hour, none of which she really liked.

Yun Yue’s delicate brows lifted, and she looked towards the salesgirl, "Do you still have Yulan Flower’s exclusive collection?"

Typically, every counter would have a piece from the Yulan Flower exclusive collection; she just hoped it hadn’t been sold.

"Yes, we do," the salesgirl replied, startled, then quickly refocused her attention.

The Yulan Flower collection was not for sale to the public and few people knew about it. How did she know?

"Please wait a moment, I’ll go get the manager." She hurried off, her heart pounding.

Soon the salesgirl returned with the manager, holding an elaborately carved wooden box.

The box was crafted with an elegant and noble design, with each of its eight corners wrapped in gold, adding to its exquisite appearance.

Just by looking at the box, one could tell it was expensive, let alone the contents, which was said to be from an exclusive collection. How much could that be worth?

"Good day, this is the Yulan Flower. May I ask who would like to try?" The manager looked at Yun Yue.

She had a hunch Yun Yue wasn’t just anyone, but she didn’t expect her to even know about the Yulan Flower’s exclusive collection.

Yun Yue turned to Lin Xiang, her eyes shimmering with light, and smilingly said, "Aunt Xiang, why don’t you give it a try and see if it fits?"

Lin Xiang uttered a small exclamation and then the manager herself carefully placed the bracelet on her.

The manager, a professional in the jewelry industry, immediately recognized the necklace around Lin Xiang’s neck as one designed by the master artisans at Vankaf.

That particular necklace, along with another bracelet, had been sold in an auction in Beijing for 10 million each.

And this one was authentic.

She narrowed her eyes slightly as she helped Lin Xiang put on the bracelet.

The moment the bracelet was presented, Lin Xiang was stunned by its beauty.

The bracelet was a pure, translucent green without a single impurity, blending traditional jade carving techniques with Western gem-setting craftsmanship, on one hand inheriting the glory of the nation’s culture and on the other combining it with outstanding Western modern techniques.

The collision of art and craft was incredibly eye-catching.

It was truly beautiful, the kind that looked like a piece of art when worn on the wrist.

But just by looking, Lin Xiang could tell it was very expensive and began thinking about making up some excuse for why it wasn’t suitable.

Yun Yue, her refined features softening, knew it suited her perfectly.

"Wrap it up, please."

Upon hearing Yun Yue’s words, Lin Xiang nearly stumbled.

"Sorry, we won’t take this one, I’ll have a look at the other jewelry in the store," Lin Xiang said, stretching out her hand for the manager to remove the bracelet. She wasn’t wearing gloves, afraid of scratching such an expensive piece.

"But..." The manager didn’t move, looking up at Yun Yue.

It didn’t matter if you didn’t have money; the young lady there did.

She’s the one paying!

Such a gorgeous bracelet, and to think you wouldn’t want it even if it were free.

The salesgirl standing behind the manager thought the same.

You may not know, but the young lady in front of you is a wealthy big shot.

With a Hongsheng Bank Black Card, twelve million was swiped without hesitation.

Yun Yue’s eyes were clear and bright as she said nonchalantly, "Aunt Xiang, go ahead and buy it; this bracelet isn’t expensive."

The manager nodded in agreement, indeed it wasn’t expensive, just 12 million.

Lin Xiang hesitated before asking, "How much is it?"

"This..." The manager hesitated, looking towards Yun Yue, just about to reveal the price when Yun Yue spoke up.

"Aunt Xiang, isn’t it your birthday soon? Consider this bracelet my gift to you; I do have a little money after all."

Lin Xiang was choked up by her ’little money’.

The 10-million necklace she was wearing around her neck was also a gift from her.

Did this child have no concept of money?

Lin Xiang shook her head, "That won’t do, Aunt has already accepted the necklace without knowing, but I can’t accept this bracelet too."

The manager showed a knowing smile, sure enough, the necklace was a gift from this young lady.

Yun Yue kicked Lin Xuanze, who was beside her, absorbed in drinking his milk tea, and glanced at him with a look of indifference.

Lin Xuanze stood up, "Mom, I think this bracelet is just perfect for you, as if it was tailor-made for you, and it is a heartfelt gift from my sister..."

"How about this, sister and I will each pay half, as a way to show our filial piety to you."

Yun Yue’s delicate brows lifted playfully as she looked at Lin Xuanze.

The manager was somewhat surprised. Yun Yue was her daughter? But she didn’t really look like it... She must be the stepdaughter, right?

It was unexpected that the two of them could get along so well.

"Madam, all the customers who come to our store to buy jewelry are children begging their parents to buy it for them, you are the first one whose children are fighting to buy for you. You should be happy, you’re the luckiest one."

Happy, of course, but Lin Xiang knew this bracelet wasn’t cheap. How could she possibly have the face to ask for money from two children?

"Swipe the card." Yun Yue didn’t give Lin Xiang a chance to refuse, exuding a powerful presence as she handed over a Black Card.

Lin Xuanze, with perfect 2.0 vision and seated close by, could see the four big characters of Hongsheng Bank clearly!

Hongsheng Bank!

Black Card!

How much money was on that card?

One billion?! Five billion?!

There weren’t more than ten of these cards in the whole country; even multi-billionaire bigwigs hadn’t seen a Hongsheng Bank Black Card, and she had one?!

It must be fake, probably wouldn’t have any money to swipe.

He watched the Black Card with skepticism, unblinking. But to his surprise, the POS machine processed the payment.

The voice prompt for a payment of 12 million entered everyone’s ears.

"..."

Their heads buzzed, the voice prompt of 12 million echoing in their ears.

Lin Xuanze knew the bracelet was expensive, but had never imagined it to cost this much.

"Half?" Yun Yue teased, raising her eyebrows with a lazy voice and a malevolent smile.

Lin Xuanze: "..."

Half my ass.

A 12 million bracelet!

Even selling all his possessions wouldn’t add up to 6 million!

He said expressionlessly, "Just sell me; see if that can cover the 6 million."

Yun Yue took back her card, paying him no attention.

Lin Xiang was completely dumbfounded, feeling as though she was weighed down by 20 million in cash, somewhat at a loss. This bracelet was that expensive?!

12 million vanished in a swipe?!
