Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Panda Novel

Shen Qianshu looked at Lu Mengxi and squinted. She could not hide her mocking smile. Indeed, Lu Mengxi had looked at this stone, but she did not put her name on it. Now that she was about to pick it, was Lu Mengxi trying to claim it from her?

What a… smart tactic!

Yun An looked displeased. This stone was black, and the outer appearance looked like asphalt. The two of them had just studied it, and they knew that this was probably going to be emerald jade. It could be used for making bracelets, jade pendants, and all kinds of jewelry. They were lucky. It was not a difficult thing to identify it as emerald jade.

This jade was clearly way better than the one he had just picked.

Lu Mengxi smiled and approached them before pasting her name sticker onto the stone.

Coincidentally, the cameras had shifted, and they did not get a shot of them. The audience sat too far away, and the big screen was showing the stones of other contestants. Everyone could only tell that a few people were surrounding to discuss something.

Yet, in the control room, Ye Ling had zoomed in on the scene. He saw everything clearly.

Ye Tingjun said, “She stole sister’s stone?”

Ye Ling’s face was extremely gloomy. There seemed to be a storm brewing in his amber eyes. Without him around, would any nonsensical creatures dare to bully his big princess? He was so mad that his ribs that were broken hurt badly.

Ye Tingjun panicked. “Big Brother, why don’t we…”

“No!” He looked at Ye Tingjun coldly. “You have your own girlfriend. Why are you trying so hard to defend other’s girlfriends? Who needs your help!”

“… ” Ye Tingjun was at a loss for words.

I have been wronged…

Since when did I have a girlfriend?

And isn’t that sister-in-law?

Are you seriously getting jealous over this as well?

Ye Tingjun said, “Lu Mengxi is the proxy of Mr. Yuan from Southeast Asia. That’s why she’s so daring. However, snatching someone else’s product in a competition so publicly is such a low thing to do. How scared is she of losing to sister?”

“She will lose,” Ye Ling said.

Ye Tingjun said, “Why? She has already taken sister’s stone though?”

“Shen Qianshu will win!”

“Why?”

“Because I said so!”

“… ” Ye Tingjun was at a loss for words.

Ye Tingjun’s voice was cold and did not have much emotion, yet it sounded persuasive. It was as if he was speaking the truth. Ye Tingjun cursed inwardly. Love is blind, indeed. Big Brother, being in love has caused your intelligence to fall steeply.

Shen Qianshu looked expressionless as the stone that she desired was taken away so abruptly.

Yun An said, “Lu Mengyun, when did you pick that stone? Why didn’t I know about that?”

“I just told the professionals that I wanted this stone, but I wanted to look around for a bit more, so it got delayed. Why? Does Miss Shen want this stone?” Lu Mengxi looked as if she was open-minded. “If Miss Shen wants it, I shall not hog something someone else wants.”

The cameras turned towards them.

Yun An could not say anything.

If Shen Qianshu dared to remove Lu Mengxi’s name tag on the stone, the audiences would bash her for it. Without the results, she would have lost the competition either way.

What a smart move!

She felt inferior!

Lu Mengxi smiled at Shen Qianshu and was just about to speak up so that the world would see the conflict between them, but Shen Qianshu congratulated her humbly. “Miss Lu, congratulations on picking this stone. I hope it will be good.”

Shen Qianshu was not giving her a chance to speak. She shut her up.

Lu Mengxi was startled. She lost her chance, but she was not anxious either. “May Miss Shen pick a great piece of jade sooner.”
