My Sweet Physician Wife Calls The Shots Chapter 634 - Useless Stone

Chapter 634: Useless Stone

Honestly speaking, the old man was definitely not someone who lacked money. However, when it came to his hobbies—like stone gambling—he would act like a child and easily fuss over every little thing.
He did not like this Ling Pinyuan, to begin with. As a soldier in the special forces, she tried to seduce her superior after knowing that Chi Yang had already submitted a marriage report. That was simply unethical.
Now, there was the matter of her stealing stones again, and this annoyed the old master a lot.
Even though he did not touch the stone, he was an aged man who moved slowly. He already bent down to grab the stone. As long as one was not blind, they would know that he was going to grab it, but the other party rushed forward to snatch it first.
This logic was similar to when Zhong Nuannuan had gone to the movies with Chi Yang. Zhong Nuannuan wanted to queue up to buy popcorn, but just as she was about to enter the queue, someone crashed into her from behind and rushed forward to cut her queue. It was the same.
Even though Ling Pinyuan abided by the rules, she had shamelessly taken advantage of that.
Therefore, the old master refused to give in.
He looked at his granddaughter-in-law with a pair of melancholic eyes. Looking like this, how was he the all-powerful Grand Marshal in all of Camino’s history? He was just an ordinary old man who was waiting for her granddaughter-in-law to stand up for him and compete with Ling Pinyuan.
Zhong Nuannuan secretly squeezed the old master’s arm, signaling him to calm down.
Sure enough, Ling Pinyuan picked a fight with Zhong Nuannuan before the old master could say anything to Ling Pinyuan.
Ling Pinyuan said unhappily, “Useless stone? Miss, keep your opinions to yourself if you have no idea what’s going on. If you defame our Soaring Clouds Pavilion’s reputation for no reason, we can sue you. At a glance, this raw stone of mine has a thin shell, delicate crystals, and a closely-packed structure. There’s also a black spot and a dot-shaped pine flower here. The chances of this raw stone containing jade are extremely high. What right do you have to say that this is a useless stone? Professional masters in Soaring Clouds Pavilion put in a lot of effort when choosing every raw stone. Those that can be displayed here today are all the best of the raw stones. Even if they don’t contain jade, they can’t be called useless stones. Furthermore, the chances of this raw stone containing jade are very high.”
Ling Pinyuan’s good friend also joined the battle at this moment. “If it’s truly a useless rock, why is this old man fighting with Pinyuan?”
“Mengying!” Ling Pinyuan stopped Luo Mengying’s foolish behavior and said, “I was indeed faster than this old man just now. Although I refuse to admit that I stole from the old man like this lady mentioned, this old man isn’t fighting with me either. Don’t talk nonsense.”
Luo Mengying felt a little embarrassed after being exposed, but she could not say anything. She could only shut up. After all, her father gave her very little pocket money, and she often took advantage of Ling Pinyuan. Therefore, although she was a little unhappy, she could only endure it.
Ling Pinyuan’s words received unanimous praise from everyone. Some onlookers even said that Ling Pinyuan was indeed a resounding rose in the army—she did things openly and straightforwardly.
Therefore, those who did not see Ling Pinyuan snatch the old man’s raw stone thought that Zhong Nuannuan was making a mountain out of a molehill and spouting nonsense.
Ling Pinyuan, on the other hand, not only stole from the old man, but she also received everyone’s praise.
“No matter what, to me, this stone is just a useless stone. Even if it has spots and hints of pine flowers, the chance of it containing green is high, but…”
