After the divorce, she disappeared overnight

Chapter 217: There is no return or exchange once you leave the house.

"Wife, you've gone around in a circle..."

Luo Yao stopped walking when she heard the voice, looked at the man and said unhappily, "I don't expect you to accompany me. If you feel tired, go back."

"Not tired, not tired. How can I be tired when accompanying my wife shopping?" Huo Chenqi immediately shook his head in response.

Then, he didn't dare to say another word and followed obediently.

Xu Nuo could only hold back his laughter, as if this had become the norm.

The few of them came to and passed a store, and Luo Yao stopped again.

Standing at the door of the store, he took a look inside and walked in.

The decoration style of the store is relatively retro, with several paintings hanging on the wall and many carved jade products on the shelves.

There is also a pile of stones of different sizes in the corner.

There was an old man sitting at a table not far away, holding a cup of tea in his hand and sipping it slowly.

The old man saw someone coming in and said, "Everyone, would you like to try my newly opened Longjing?"

Hear the words.

Just as Luo Yao was about to walk over, her hand was grabbed by the man next to her.

She raised her eyes to look at him in confusion.

"Wife, why don't we go somewhere else."

But Luo Yao didn't listen. She shook off his hand in dissatisfaction and walked straight towards the old man.

Huo Chenqi had no choice but to follow closely, looking around, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

The old man asked, "Little girl, which one do you like?"

Luo Yao walked to the table and sat down. She picked up the teacup and took a sip. She smiled and said, "The tea is good."

"Hahaha." The old man laughed out loud when he heard Luo Yao's praise, "Interesting."

"How much does that pile of stones cost?" Luo Yao asked straight to the point.

The old man couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after hearing this. He looked at her with interest and said slowly, "One hundred thousand."

"Can I see it?"

"Please go ahead." The old man smiled and gestured.

Luo Yao nodded, then stood up and walked towards the pile of stones in the corner, slowly squatted down and observed carefully.

……

Time passed minute by minute, Huo Chenqi stood behind her, not daring to disturb her.

Suddenly, a fist-sized stone caught her attention.

She walked over and picked up the stone, gently stroking the surface of the stone with her fingers, and a gleam of light that was imperceptible to others flashed in her eyes.

Then he picked up another stone from under his feet.

"For these two pieces, do you want to pay by card or transfer?" Luo Yao walked back to the table with the two stones and gently placed the stones in front of the old man.

The old man smiled again, with a probing look in his eyes, "Little girl, are you sure it's just these two pieces?"

"Correct."

"No returns or exchanges once you leave the house," he emphasized.

"know."

"Okay. Someone, help this little girl put it on."

Following the old man's shout, a woman came out of the house with a box in her hand.

"Miss, please pay this way." The woman said politely.

"Promise." Huo Chenqi turned slightly sideways.

"Yes, boss." Xu Nuo responded and followed the woman to pay.

……

Soon, several people walked out of the store.

As they walked along the road, Huo Chenqi couldn't help but ask, "Wife, you clearly knew what that old man meant, why did you buy it?"

"What do you mean? You don't believe me?" Luo Yao raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a smile.

"No, he opened such a big store, the good stuff must have been collected by himself."

"Wait." Luo Yao didn't explain much and continued walking forward.

"?"

Walked for a while.

Luo Yao saw a group of people gathered not far ahead, bustling and lively.

Her curiosity was instantly aroused by the bustling crowd, and she involuntarily walked towards that direction.

"Wife, be careful, don't get squeezed."

Huo Chenqi stretched out his arm, put it around her shoulders, and brought her towards him.

"It's okay." Luo Yao smiled indifferently, her eyes still fixed on the source of the bustle in front of her.

"Xu Nuo, lead the way." Huo Chenqi frowned slightly and ordered Xu Nuo behind him.

"Yes, boss." Xu Nuo received the order and quickly stepped forward, clearing a passage for them in no time.

Soon, Huo Chenqi hugged Luo Yao and walked forward, and the scene that caught his eyes was the stone-cutting scene.

"You see, you spent a lot of money on it and it's a loss." A man said sarcastically with a slightly smug smile on his face.

The man looked depressed, so he had to take the stone he had just mined and turned away dejectedly.

"Who else wants to open a car?" the man looked around and asked loudly.

"Brother, is it free?" Luo Yao asked curiously, blinking her bright big eyes.

"Yes, little girl, do you have any stones?"

"Well, I just spent two hundred thousand to buy this little gadget." Luo Yao smiled sweetly and nodded to Xu Nuo behind her.

At this time, Xu Nuo quickly took out an exquisite box.

Luo Yao took the box, carefully took the stone out of the box, and gently placed it on the cutting board.

"Little girl, based on my many years of experience, you won't get anything good out of this stone. It's at most an agate." The man shook his head and kindly reminded her.

"It's okay, thank you. Just make a small cut here."

Luo Yao used her fingers to mark the cutting position on the stone, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

"Okay, but don't cry if the results are not satisfactory, otherwise people will think I am bullying a little girl." The man looked at Luo Yao and teased with a smile.

As soon as this joke was made, everyone burst into laughter.

"No, you drive." Luo Yao said softly, disapprovingly.

As the machine started, a harsh cutting sound suddenly rang out.

Amid the sharp noise, the stone was cut open bit by bit, and the inner part slowly came out.

The result was disappointing, it was definitely not worth the price.

"Look, little girl, I'm right."

"I have another piece here, please work hard for a while."

"Alas, you won't give up until you reach the Yellow River. Give it to me." The man sighed and shook his head.

Xu Nuo took a stone out of the box and put it on the table. The difference from the previous one was that this one was bigger and had a crack on the edge.

"There's no need to cut this stone. Look, from this crack, it's obviously an ordinary piece." The man picked up the flashlight and shone it for Luo Yao to see.

"Brother, go on."

"alright."

The machine started beeping again...

Only people who are very close can see what is cut out.

Luo Yao looked at the gradually revealed interior of the stone, a satisfied smile slightly raised at the corner of her mouth.

This stone is opaque when you shine a light on it from the outside. The stone layer is quite thick, so it is impossible to guess what is inside.

After cutting, the man rinsed it with water, and pink slowly leaked out.

He was stunned for a moment, with surprise in his eyes, "Little girl, you have made a fortune, you are a fan."

As the words fell, people rushed forward and whispered after seeing what happened.

Someone asked, "Where did you buy this, little girl? Tell me quickly."

"Oh, I just bought it for fun in a store not far away. I was just lucky." Luo Yao pointed forward and said modestly.

"No, I'll try my luck too."

As soon as the words fell, several people ran over, chasing each other.

Luo Yao smiled helplessly.
