Invisible Rich (The Invisible Rich Man 2)
Chapter 890
They both entered the antique shop.
There was a tall girl with long hair standing at the counter.
"Look at this. How much is this jade bracelet worth?” The girl asked.
Gerald raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the girl's voice.
There's no way she's here, is she?
Next, the girl's back faced the two of them.
Therefore, Gerald remained silent. Instead, he simply sat in the waiting room next to the wall.
The shopkeeper was an overweight man in his fifties. He had a small beard and also a wretched face that was permanently etched on his face.
He held the jade bracelet in his hand as he looked at it for a while.
After which, he shook his head and said, “That guy is actually quite good. However, this type of jade is very common and its circulation rate in the market is very low. If you really want to sell it, then I can offer you five hundred dollars for it.” Boss replied.
"What's? Only five hundred dollars? But I looked it up on the internet and I saw this type of jade cost over fifty thousand dollars! This is our family heirloom passed down from our ancestors!” The girl answered worriedly.
"Ha ha ha! What are you talking about? More than fifty thousand dollars? Miss, you seem like a reasonable person at first but your claim is completely ridiculous! Five hundred dollars is actually already a very good offer! You cannot simply trust what you see online!”
“Look at your jade bracelet! See those polished spots? I don't think it's worth it now that I mention it. If you don't believe it, I happen to have a jade bracelet made from the exact same material as your jade bracelet. I sold it for one thousand five hundred dollars but compared to yours, that jade bracelet has a much better color!”
The girl took out a jade bracelet and examined it closely. As he said, the materials look identical!
At this time, he said anxiously, “But boss, I really need money. My mother is very sick and I need money now! Can you give me a thousand two hundred dollars for that at least? ”
“Based on your accent, I can say that you are not from Salford Province. You must be from the south, right? Wh why? Are you here to beg Mr Jenkinson to treat your mother's illness?”
The girl nodded.
"Incitrate. As much as I sympathize with you, if I give you a thousand two hundred dollars for it, I will suffer a huge loss. Why don't we just do this? I'll give you another three hundred dollars for that. I'll pay you eight hundred dollars for the jade bracelet. If that's not enough, I don't think how else I can help you!” Boss replied.
The girl thought for a moment. After which, he gritted his teeth and said, “Alright then. If you can give me eight hundred dollars, I'll take it!”
"Hi!"
At this moment, the girl who was feeling extremely confused and upset suddenly felt someone pat her on the shoulder.
He turned around to see who was calling him.
When he saw the boy standing behind him, the girl's eyes sparkled with delight.
He was surprised and happy at the same time.
“Is that really you...Gerald!?”
The girl started to jump excitedly.
“Naomi! I barely recognize you!”
Gerald began patting Naomi's head gently.
This girl is Naomi Milton.
Naomi's hair was clearly longer than before.
And he seems to have grown a little taller.
No wonder he sounded so familiar when he first walked into the store.
But before looking at his face and confirming his suspicions, Gerald refrained from revealing his identity.
By the way, she has not seen Naomi since she left Mayberry City.
Six months passed in the blink of an eye.
Naomi was her best friend when they were in college.
In fact, he is still his best friend now.
"I haven't seen you in a long time!"
Gerald said with a smile.
“That's right, Gerald. I've heard Felicity say that something happened to you and your whereabouts are unknown. It's a surprise to see you here in Salford Province!”
Naomi said with misty eyes.
He then stepped forward and hugged Gerald.
Gerald patted Naomi's shoulder gently as he said, “I'm fine. Look at me, there's nothing wrong with me, right? By the way, didn't Felicity and you start a company together? Why you…"
Gerald asked curiously.
Naomi wiped her tears.
Afterwards, he choked and said, "Gerald, you may not know this but Felicity, she .. Something happened to Felicity!"
