Chapter 647: Caused A Relapse

“Fighting for the stone is just a small matter. I won’t take it to heart. Besides, didn’t I also benefit from a disaster and let my granddaughter-in-law give me an imperial jade?”

“But the imperial jade came from our Soaring Clouds Pavilion!”

That implied that Ling Pinyuan gave the old master the imperial jade indirectly too.

Initially, everyone had a good impression of Miss Ling, who was clad in her military uniform. After all, everyone liked valiant girls like her. However, after watching her with all of her antiques, everyone realized that apart from the military attire she was in, Miss Ling did not seem as great as they thought, especially when it came to her character!

They started to criticize Ling Pinyuan.

The old master was not angry. He witnessed all kinds of shameless people in his life. Someone like Ling Pinyuan was just a fresh cucumber to him. She was still too young and too fresh.

“However, your Soaring Clouds Pavilion lost to my granddaughter-in-law, and she gave the imperial jade to me as a gift. So, Miss Ling, please don’t make it sound so ambiguous and make everyone misunderstand that it was you who gave it to me.”

Ling Pinyuan clenched her fists in anger. Being someone who had always been stubborn and refused to cry, she felt so aggrieved right now that tears started brimming at the edge of her red eyes.

When Luo Mengying saw this, she immediately helped by saying, “Grandpa Chi, since you heard Pinyuan bad-mouthing Zhong Nuannuan just now, you should’ve heard the reason Pinyuan’s here choosing raw stones for, right? Initially, she fought with you for the raw stone all because she wanted to choose one for you! If it wasn’t for Zhong Nuannuan, the one who gave you the green imperial jade today would be Pinyuan!”

Old Master Chi had always been an open-minded person and had always been rather forgiving toward the younger generation. However, since this matter concerned his granddaughter-in-law, the old man’s habit of being extremely protective was activated.

“Are you sure that’s the case? Then, how is it that I heard that if she gets an imperial jade, she won’t give it away?”

Ling Pinyuan, “…”

Luo Mengying, “…”

“However, I’m not the kind of person who accepts gifts easily. For example, I like my granddaughter-in-law. Even if she gives me a needle, I’ll still like it. However, for outsiders, even if you gave me imperial jade, I won’t accept it, much less you who isn’t willing.”

Looking at the old master’s proud look and Ling Pinyuan’s embarrassed look, Zhong Nuannuan could not help feeling inexplicably happy to be protected by her family.

This kind of pleasure was something that she could not recreate on her own even if she tried.

Suddenly, a muffled thud came from the side. The pavilion master of the Soaring Clouds Pavilion and the surrounding onlookers all cried out.

“Oh no, Miss, Old Master’s illness is relapsing!”

Ling Pinyuan felt as if her head was going to explode. She quickly turned around and squatted down beside Ling Li. She shouted anxiously, “Grandpa, Grandpa, what’s wrong? Please don’t scare me!”

Noticing that Ling Li’s lips were trembling and his face was turning green, Ling Pinyuan shouted at the pavilion master, “Call 120 now!”

The staff in Soaring Clouds Pavilion recollected themselves and immediately made the call fearfully.

Actually, even before the imperial jade was completely revealed, Ling Li felt a heart attack coming the moment he knew that the raw stone contained jade. However, to prevent anyone from looking down on him or the Ling family, he endured it without taking any pills that could alleviate his situation.

As more jade was revealed, the sharp pain in his heart increased.

When he realized that the gigantic raw stone that they were not in favor of turned out to be imperial jade—it was a 10-kilogram imperial jade—Ling Li could no longer hold it in anymore…
