Chapter 643: Caught Red-handed
“Sure.” Zhong Nuannuan agreed readily.
Hearing that, the expression on Ling Pinyuan’s face instantly darkened. She immediately added, “I won’t take advantage of you either. Choose five, and you’ll win if there’s one out of five!”
Just a second ago, she spoke about how there should be ice jade in this pile of raw stones; and in the next second, she said one out of five. No matter how dumb the onlookers were, they could somehow see through her tricks.
It seemed like this Miss Ling was not as excellent as everyone claimed!
At least the part where she was a petty sore loser was true.
“Sure,” Zhong Nuannuan agreed immediately at the simple request.
Seeing Zhong Nuannuan agree, Ling Li was secretly happy.
20 million was not a lot, but he was not willing to hand it over to this woman just like that. However, if this woman lost, it would be equivalent to her spending money to buy these raw stones. Of course, he was more than willing to sell this truckload of raw stones that did not look like much to Zhong Nuannuan.
“What does the president, Mr. Ling, think about this?”
Ling Li, who was secretly feeling pleased with how things turned out, heard Zhong Nuannuan calling out his name and immediately responded, “This is just a small matter. Pinyuan can make the decision herself.”
“Fine. However, Miss Ling has been pestering me for a mere 20 million, so I’m rather concerned about her nature. How about this? Can you sign a contract with me this time, Mr. Ling?”
“Sure.”
Without another word, Ling Li signed a contract with Zhong Nuannuan. At this moment, he was more confident than Ling Pinyuan that he could win.
Previously, when Zhong Nuannuan and Ling Pinyuan signed the contract, Ling Pinyuan did not care to know Zhong Nuannuan’s name and thus, did not bother reading about her name. This time, Ling Pinyuan specially craned her neck to look at Zhong Nuannuan’s signature.
“Zhong Nuannuan? You’re Zhong Nuannuan?!”
Ling Pinyuan could not help but exclaim.
Zhong Nuannuan calmly signed her name and looked at Ling Pinyuan. “Yes, my name is Zhong Nuannuan. Is there a problem?”
“You… Which Zhong Nuannuan are you? You can’t be…” She could not be, right? After all, there were too many people called Zhong Nuannuan in this world.
Unfortunately…
“I am the woman that you mentioned earlier when you were chatting with this lady. The one who can’t compare to you in any way. I don’t deserve to be your rival in love, so my fiancé is someone you can simply steal from. Yes, that Zhong Nuannuan.”
The crowd was in an uproar.
“What did I just hear?”
“Miss Ling actually wants to snatch this Miss Zhong’s fiancé?”
“Tsk tsk, and she’s a military officer!”
“That’s too much!”
Ling Pinyuan and Luo Mengying’s expressions paled. They did not expect their conversation exchanged in whispers to be overheard by the person in question.
“Miss Zhong, you’re going overboard by defaming me! When did I say that I wanted to snatch your fiancé?”
“Miss Ling, there are so many cameras here. Even if no one here can lip-read, I can help you restore the content of your conversation via lip-reading if you release the video to the public. Do you want everyone to hear how horrible your words were when you said that you did not care about me, the main person implicated in your scheme and that you were going to steal my fiancé? Don’t tell me the cameras here are just for show.”
Never in her entire lifetime did Ling Pinyuan felt that she was ever embarrassed like this.
Now she finally understood why Ou Mingxi chose to harm this woman.
Zhong Nuannuan was overly harsh when the truth was on her side. She was simply too despicable!
Ling Li did not know what happened, but he could basically guess that Zhong Nuannuan was Chi Yang’s fiancée.
He was furious that Zhong Nuannuan embarrassed his granddaughter, who was his pride and joy, in this manner. Yet, he could not tell her off in any way. Judging by his granddaughter’s expression, there was all the more reason not to take out the surveillance footage.
