The Young master's fake bride and her lucky system-Chapter 60: Handling precious things.

"You expected him to call you when you switched your phone off, how amusing." Her system snickered and reminded her.

Right, her phone was still switched off. Quickly Alix switched it on as she sat down in the chair Tai Ho Sun pointed her to.

"You are the one who married the Zhang family's second son, aren't you?" The old man, Tai Sun spoke up.

"Yes elder Tai." She answered.

"We were not invited to the wedding." He added seriously.

Alix moved her lips around, not truly knowing what to say to that.

"You can try saying me too because technically you were not invited as well until the last day when they needed to use you." Her system advised.

"You never offer any helpful advice. " she replied.

She smiled awkwardly at master Tai Sun and offered no response.

"If we had been invited we would have made sure that you were decked in the most beautiful jewels for your important day. I don't understand why you opted for the bare minimum on your own wedding." Master Tai Sun sighed.

Alix awkwardly smiled at the old man and then took a sip of water from a glass which was already sitting on the table.

"Grandpa, you are making miss Lin feel out of place. She still looked lovely even without jewelry." Tai Ho Sun said.

He was trying to make it less awkward for Alix.

She was here to make a sale and not discuss her wedding. His grandfather had a habit of being too blunt that he easily came off as offensive.

"Girl, I hope my words do not offend you. Ho Sun is right, you did look lovely. I just think you could have looked better. I am an old man whose greatest delight used to be seeing that bright light in the eyes of a bride when she looked at the jewels which she would adorn on her wedding day.

One string of pearls or the right set of jade, or perhaps beautiful cut diamonds flowing from your ears can be the difference between a memorable bride and an ordinary one." Elder Tai sighed as if it was such a loss that Alix had none of those things.

Even the way he was looking at her, it was with sad pity filled eyes as if he was looking at a lost injured puppy.

To think that a stranger noticed something her own family cared nothing about!

All they had done was stuff her in that dress and pushed her out of the bridal room.

"Let's not make this a sad sappy occasion father, miss Lin has her personal taste and choices. " In a lower but firm voice, Tai Heng patted his father's hand. "Perhaps we should see this jewel she want to sell off first." He suggested.

Relieved not to have to dwell on the issue much longer, Alix opened the bag which she had come with and removed something covered in an old brown cloth.

Slowly, she put it on the table and unveiled it while four men in the room held in their collective breaths.

Elder Tai was hoping to see jade, CEO Tai hoped that whatever it was it was rare and precious while Tai Ho Sun hoped it was beautiful enough to give them an edge over other jewellery companies.

Master Yuz who did not want to step on the toes of his bosses was simply glad to be in the room. With elder Tai here, his expertise was not really necessary.

Bit by bit, the sides of the red diamond were revealed to the greedy eyes of those who were awaiting to see its magnificence. At once, Alix suddenly removed the entire brown cloth on top.

She knew she had them when they gasped.

"What do you think?" She asked.

"It's huge!" Tai Ho Dun blurted out.

"It can't be real." Master Yuz whispered.

Alix, dripping with confidence shrugged and said, " It's a good thing that you all are experts. Examine it as much as you want, my asking price is only one hundred three million fifty four thousand ninety nine yuan.

Tai Ho Sun was about to touch the red diamond when he heard her asking price and his hands stopped.

He looked at her, thinking to himself that it was an oddly specific amount. Had she done the appraisal from somewhere else first?

"Be careful. Put it back down now." Master Tai's loud voice was heard.

Tai Ho Sun saw his grandfather glaring at his father whose hands were already on the diamond in the process of lifting it up.

"You don't know how to handle precious things." Elder Tai added.

But then, as soon as Tai Heng's hands left the diamond, the old man reached for it. It was even worse in his case because his hands were trembling.

Tai Ho Sun and his father shared a look of anxiety. Who was mishandling a precious thing now?

Master Yuz was one step ahead of them. He came closer to elderr Tai and lowered his body.

Both of his hands followed elder Tai's, waiting to catch the diamond if he dropped it.

"Go away." The old man ordered him.

Elder Tai held the diamond close to his chest and looked warily at master Yuz. It almost seemed as if he was looking at a thief.

"Yes elder." Master Yuz unwillingly did as ordered.

The old man caressed the diamond in a manner she was not new to. It was Tai Ho Sun's exact face around the imperial jade.

"So that's where he learned it from." She thought.

"Does this make the old man a pervert as well?" The blue elf laying around lazily on her virtual screen asked.

"No, he is old." She answered, slightly astounded by that question.

"And what, old people can't be perverts?" Her system asked.

She could hear loudly the disdain in the question.

"Host, you are ageist, tsk tsk, you are so ageist."

She wondered of she could muzzle it's mouth for a moment.

"It may not be jade, but my heart is still satisfied. " Elder Tai declared.

Alix cheered up and looked at the old man.

"Elder, does this mean we have a deal?"

Elder Tai nodded eagerly.

"Girl, don't call me elder, call me grandpa from now on. And that brat, just call him older brother.

As for my son, just call him uncle."

The girl was a lucky blessing to their company. First the imperial jade and now this. How much more did she have in stock?

Alix wanted to chuckle loudly because Jin Kang would surely faint if she witnessed this. With a diamond, she had forged a connection to one of the richest families in Beijing in an unexpected way.

It truly was a lucky diamond.

"Yes elder." She answered.

He stared at her intensely and she changed her words.

"Yes grandpa."
