Chapter 702 - Playing Around With Ye Lier
Chapter 702: Playing Around With Ye Li’er
The virtual screen displayed that there was indeed a broadcast and there were comments rolling in on the screen. In addition, all of them were talking about Ye Li’er.
People on the internet did not fear her status at all and each comment was sharper than the previous one.
Zi Yi tapped on her watch and a voice was heard.
“It turns out that the daughter of Country Em’s Prince is so petty. She must be jealous of Zi Yi’s appearance and is deliberately trying to make things difficult for them, right?”
“Perhaps she has a crush on Zi Yi’s husband but the guy doesn’t fancy her. As a result, love has grown into hate.”
“Haha. To think that she’s a young lady from high society. That behavior of hers has expanded my knowledge.”
“There’s this saying that ugly people will do all kinds of weird things to get attention. I believe it’s a fitting description.”
...
Ye Li’er instantly turned red from embarrassment after hearing the remarks made. Her body trembled from anger. She clenched her fists, while she wished that she could head over to Zi Yi and tear her apart.
However, she did not dare to do anything in front of the whole world.
/
In the end, she could only take out her card and pass it to one of her guards. “Go and foot the bill.”
The guard hastily took the card and left to make payment.
The others around her started to whisper among themselves.
While everyone was whispering, Bu Di asked Zi Yi, “Zi, when did you turn on the live broadcast? How come I wasn’t aware?”
Zi Yi shrugged her shoulders. “I didn’t turn on a live broadcast.”
She merely played around with Ye Li’er with the use of technology.
Zi Yi and Bu Di both laughed at the same time.
When Ye Li’er saw the grins on their faces, she found it exceptionally piercing and wanted to tear their faces apart.
Lu Jingye looked at his wife, who was smiling like a fox, before he turned around and walked towards an empty cutting machine.
Ye Li’er glared in their direction. At the thought that they had randomly bought a raw stone and that it was sure to have no good minerals inside, she did not say anything else.
When the crowd saw that there was no more drama to watch anymore, all of them left to keep watch on their lapidarist cutting the stones.
For a period of time, countless cutting machines were activated as they produced grinding sounds. There was no need to describe how spectacular the scene was.
There were a group of people surrounding each cutting machine. All of them showed tension and an expectant gaze at the same time.
Zi Yi’s side had the least number of people.
Lu Jingye did not bring along a gambler or a lapidarist. He only had two bodyguards.
When Lu Jingye rolled up his sleeves and stood next to the cutting machine, everyone was surprised.
“He’s going to cut the stone himself? Don’t tell me that Song Jewelry doesn’t even have a single lapidarist anymore?”
“To think that Mr. Lu would have a day where he’s in such a plight. Sure enough, those rumors must be real.”
Bu Di saw how Lu Jingye was about to cut the stones himself, and he also got a shock. “Zi, your husband is really planning to cut the stones?”
“Is there a problem?” Zi Yi did not think of it as a problem. “The minerals inside are the best of the best. It’s more reassuring if Ah Jing does it.”
Bu Di was silent for two seconds after hearing Zi Yi making such a confident remark. “Zi, you only randomly chose a raw stone and even though I believe that our raw stones are good, the chances of opening a randomly selected raw stone and getting top-grade minerals is very small.”
Most importantly, he had not checked the raw stone as he had to play along with Ye Li’er earlier.
Even he dared not make such a guarantee. However, Zi Yi dared to do so. Why does he feel that it was so unreliable?”
Zi Yi walked over to Lu Jingye’s side and touched the raw stone. She turned to Lu Jingye and asked, “Ah Jing, will you draw the lines or shall I do it?”
Lu Jingye knew that she wanted to draw and so, he passed her the line drawing pen in his hand.
Zi Yi happily took the pen and took out a pair of glasses from her pocket. After she wore the glasses, the exact location of the mineral inside the raw stone could be seen.
She looked at its position and started drawing the lines. Her speed was considerably fast.
Bu Di saw Zi Yi wearing glasses and he even specifically praised her. “Zi, I didn’t expect you to give off such a scholarly aura after wearing glasses.”
Just as Zi Yi wanted to tilt her head and look at him, she was blocked by a large hand.
Lu Jingye’s voice was slightly deep. “Concentrate on drawing the lines.”
Zi Yi looked up at him. At the sight of his serious expression, her lips curved up and she lowered her head to continue drawing.
Lu Jingye looked at Zi Yi who had her head lowered and his gaze instantly softened.
After Zi Yi finished drawing the lines, she took off her glasses and put them in her pocket before she then moved back.
Lu Jingye started the cutting process.
Many people had their attention on Lu Jingye’s side. They felt that the scene was somewhat surreal.
“I didn’t expect that the President of the Lu Group would end up cutting raw stones in person.”
“Moreover, his wife had randomly drawn the lines. As expected, they are treating this as a game.”
“Without the halo of the President, he is the same as everyone else.”
Everyone had feared him in the past and at the same time, they would think of ways to curry favor with him.
The reason for the fear was that they were afraid that he would scheme against them someday.
The reason for currying favor was that they wanted to enjoy some of the riches he gained.
Yet, everyone was looking at him coldly and waiting for him to embarrass himself right now.
Ye Li’er who was standing somewhere further away looked in their direction and sneered. “I’d like to see what kind of mineral you could possibly get.”
Just then, her phone rang. After she answered the call, she could hear Dan Wei grinding his teeth. “Ye Li’er, what did you just do? Why did you spend 200 million so early on in the day?”
Ye Li’er told him what happened earlier in a simplified manner.
After Dan Wei heard her story, he nearly fainted on the spot. “You... Bu Di had selected the raw stones at such quick speeds and he’s obviously choosing at random. Yet, you bought them all?”
“Brother!” Ye Li’er was also unhappy. “Zi Yi had been broadcasting live and if I did not pay for the raw stones, I would become a laughingstock worldwide.”
Dan Wei had gotten his men to check up on Zi Yi’s live broadcast. When he heard that there was no broadcast at all, Dan Wei started gasping in anger.
“You-! Don’t you know to call me and discuss things first?”
Ye Li’er did not expect herself to get tricked by Zi Yi. Her mind was in chaos and she said angrily, “I’ll go and reason it out with her!”
Having said that, she hung up the phone.
“Zi Yi, how dare you deceive me?!”
Other than Lu Jingye who was currently cutting the stone, Zi Yi and the rest looked towards Ye Li’er who was walking over with a posture similar to that of a fighting chicken.
Zi Yi smiled. Her smile was extremely irritating. “I did deceive you. What can you do to me?”
“You! Do you believe that I won’t get people to arrest you right away?”
“You don’t have that ability.”
As soon as Zi Yi said her piece, she shifted her attention away from Ye Li’er and directly ignored her.
Ye Li’er got anxious and she ordered the guards who followed her. “Arrest that woman!”
As soon as Ye Li’er shouted, everyone turned around and looked in their direction.
Everyone saw the guards heading towards Zi Yi and they held their breaths.
However, one of the staff members ran over and said, “Miss Ye Li’er, please calm down.”
The individuals here were all the gods of wealth of Country Em. In particular, Mr. Lu was from the Lu Family, one of the eight aristocratic families in his country. If they really allowed Ye Li’er to arrest Mr. Lu’s wife, they were unable to bear the responsibility.
Ye Li’er had already lost all reason. “She must be arrested today. I’ll bear the consequences.”
“I’m afraid you are unable to bear the consequences.”
As soon as Zi Yi said that, her eyes turned towards the entrance.
Everyone subconsciously followed her gaze, only to see an officer striding through the gates with a group of guards.
