Chapter 631: Contempt

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This— This must be the legendary Miss Ling Pinyuan from the famed Ling family, the richest family in Jiang District!
It was said that although Ling Pinyuan came from a wealthy family, she did not have the temperament often found in the precious daughters from wealthy families. She was generous and straightforward. Even though she had a powerful family behind her back, she still worked hard to earn her place to become an outstanding soldier.
With a few years of hard work, she quickly became a lieutenant. After joining the special forces team and gaining a few military merits, she was now the youngest female second lieutenant in Jiang District.
Therefore, Ling Pinyuan attracted a lot of attention the moment she entered.
Even though many people were attracted by Zhong Nuannuan’s beauty when she walked in, Zhong Nuannuan did not reveal her identity nor was she in her military uniform. Therefore, Ling Pinyuan’s entrance attracted more attention.
Ling Pinyuan strode in valiantly. As she looked at the raw stones, she listened to the reports presented by the master of Soaring Clouds Pavilion.
After hearing that, she laughed and replied, “Grandpa is really stingy! Got it, I’ll choose one out of the 15 raw stones that actually contains something. I’ll make him beat his chest in pride.”
Ling Pinyuan’s words attracted a burst of friendly laughter from the crowd. There was nothing the pavilion master of the Soaring Clouds Pavilion could do but say, “Take your time. Do you need my help?”
“No need. You can continue taking care of everyone else.”
There was a woman beside Ling Pinyuan. She looked about the same age as Ling Pinyuan and was about 25 years old. However, this woman did not wear a military uniform and so, complemented Ling Pinyuan with the stark contrast.
“Pinyuan, your grandfather has only given you 15 chances. Are you sure you can find the green ones from these 15 chances?” the woman asked.
“As for whether I’ll be able to find the green ones, just wait and watch me! I’ve been researching this since I was young, and I’m pretty good at it! When the time comes, the old master should worry about crying his eyes out.”
When the people who stood closer to Ling Pinyuan heard what she said, they laughed again. Some of them even stopped doing whatever they were doing to watch if this young lady from the Ling family could find any jade.
Zhong Nuannuan was about to help the old master pick some raw stones, but Ling Pinyuan slowly browsed through them and started getting close to Zhong Nuannuan with her friend. The conversation between the two girls that followed left Zhong Nuannuan depressed.
“Pinyuan, are you really going to give a big piece of jade to Chi Yang’s grandfather as a gift? Wouldn’t that be too expensive?”
Ling Pinyuan smiled. “Unless it’s imperial jade, nothing is considered too expensive if it’s for his grandfather.”
“Tsk, tsk. You’re infatuated, aren’t you? But I heard that he already has a fiancée. Do you think you can ‘get’ him with this gift of yours? I just hope you won’t lose all your eggs in one basket.”
“I accidentally heard from Ning Wenhao that his grandfather likes antiques and jade. I’m going to Emperor District for a business trip in a few days, so I’ll go look for his grandfather first. If his grandfather has taken a liking to me, so what if he has a fiancée? Chi Yang is a filial son! He doesn’t have parents, only his grandfather. He’s devoted all his kinship to his grandfather.
“Plus, I heard that his fiancee is just the niece of the CEO of Cloud Group. She’s an unfavored young lady who was kidnapped and sold to the farming district. She’s only 17 years old, not even legal for marriage yet.
“But I, Ling Pinyuan, am his comrade. I’m someone who can fight and die at his side. Not only is my age similar to his, but I’m also the eldest daughter of the Ling family…”
