CHP:8 (A Drama At The Jewelry Store)

At the end , Gu Man compromised . "Then you must be cautious , and call me once you feel uncomfortable . "

"I will," Gu Ning answered , then went outside .

when Gu Ning was out on the street , she looked at her phone in her hand with intense dislike . it was a cheap old phone .

To be honest , Gu Ning was used to smart phones , and she disliked the old one with buttons on it .

i'm going to make money and buy my mom and myself a smartphone . Gu Ning thought to herself .

There was no direct bus from where Gu Ning lived to the antique market , so she decided to transfer from the downtown .

luckily , it wasn't the rush hour , and it only took Gu Ning 20 minutes to arrive at the downtown .

Gu Ning stepped off the bus , and walked ahead for another 300 meters to get on the next bus to the antique market .

there were many jewelry stores of well-known brands around the downtown .

Gu Ning was attracted by the jade shown in a window of a nearby jewelry store . she wanted to walk inside and take a look.

Although , she knew how to absorb power , she hadn't practiced yet , and was curious about the feeling .

but when she just entered the store , she heard an acid female voice , "Wow ! Isn't this Gu Ning? What ? you dare to walk in a jewelry store when you have no money to feed yourself ?"

Yes , when Gu Ning was at school , she was known for her poverty .

Though Gu Man gave her allowance everyday, which was enough for her meals , she was used to saving as much as she could , and normally ate a standard bun as her dinner .

that was how she had managed to save 500 yuan .

the girl who had verbally abused Gu Ning named Shao Feifei . she was Gu Ning's classmate . back in the classroom , Shao Feifei had always laughed at Gu Ning . she would hurt abuse at Gu Ning, throw garbage into her desk and even ruin her textbooks .

the reason why Shao Feifei hated Gu Ning so much , not because Gu Ning was from a poor family but because Gu Ning was more beautiful than her . Shao Feifei , who was so-called "the prettiest girl" among the students was super jealous of Gu Ning .

Gu Ning was merely a poor girl from a poor family . How could she be more beautiful than Shao Feifei !

and there was another girl of same age stood beside Shao Feifei , but Gu Ning had no idea who she was .

Everyone in the store turned with one accord , looking at Gu Ning , those well-educated ones stayed calm , while those who were arrogant wore a face with dislike .

Especially when Gu Ning showed up in her worn-out clothes , it was a humiliation for the rich people to be in the same place with the poor .

But Gu Ning ignored all of them except Shao Feifei , "This isn't your home. why couldn't i be here?" she argued .

"Well , can you afford anything here ?'' Shao Feifei laughed at a Gu Ning , then wore an exaggerated face with surprise , "Gee , do you plan to steal something ?"

At that time , everyone's look on Gu Ning changed . especially the workers who were alert . they obviously believed what Shao Feifei had just said .

Gu Ning was annoyed " Shao Feifei , you don't have any proof for that , and i can sue you for libel ." Her eyes were full of coldness.

"you..."

Shao Feifei was scared by Gu Ning's look at first , then was even more more astonished Gu Ning had argued back .

In the past , no matter how Shao Feifei had laughed at Gu Ning , Gu Ning had always stayed quiet.

"Sister, let's go now ." the girl who was with Shao Feifei felt threatened . she wanted to leave right away .

"why? I'll stay and see what can she afford ," Shao Feifei raised her voice . she didn' t want to run away infront of Gu Ning .

In her eyes , Gu Ning was merely a poor student without any power , wealth and support .

Then she looked at Gu Ning with an aggression .

"I don't think i have to buy something just because I've walked in " Gu Ning argued back again .

"if you aren't going to buy anything , then you shouldn't have walked in ," Shao Feifei insisted .

"i want to have a look first and it's none of your buisness , " Gu Ning said .

"you..." suddenly, Shao Feifei had no idea how to fight back .

Gu Ning then ignored her , walking by directly .

Though those rich people disliked the poor , nobody stopped Gu Ning .

just like what she had said , you didn't have to buy something just because you had walked in.

but all the workers in the jewelry store kept their eyes on Gu Ning , like she was a real thief .

Actually , there were many monitors in the store , all the jewelery were locked in thick and heavy glasses . it wasn't easy to steal a piece of them .

Gu Ning felt uncomfortable under the suspicion , but she didn't say a word .

she went to the area of jade , and focused on them . Seconds later , there was a layer of white fog appeared above those jade , and the fog was exactly the power Gu Ning needed.

however , the fog was thin , which meant the jade wasn't good enough .

Gu Ning didn't care at all, but the glasses blocked her out from those jade . she could only absorb the power without any medium in the middle .

Thus Gu Ning had to give up . she sighed slightly .

but her sigh drew attention again .

"The poor can't afford a piece of jade , and all they can do is sigh . poor little thing " a woman said.

"Exactly , the poor can never afford a piece of jade throughout their whole life !" another woman agreed .

Gu Ning was speechless . whatever the poor had done , it was wrong.

but how could they be so sure that she wasn't able to buy it throughout her whole life ? she was poor for now , but it didn't mean she couldn't afford an expensive commodity in the future .

Gu Ning looked to those two women . they were around 40 years with good appearance . both were in luxury dresses , a little over though .

Especially the right one , there were diamond , gold and jade rings around her two fingers .

and a gold bracelet around her wrist while a jade bracelet around another one .
