Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 137: Chapter 130: The Consequence of Cursing Her Mother

“Hmm.” After Qiao Jing nonchalantly responded, she grabbed another gemstone necklace and presented it to Zhan Nanqing, “How about this one? Compared with the one just now, which one looks better?”

The single “hmm” from Qiao Jing, as well as the question posed to Zhan Nanqing, pulled her out of her shock. The next second, the price tag on the gemstone necklace once again stunned Zhan Nanqing into immobility.

Three million!

“Hiss—” Zhan Nanqing sharply inhaled a breath of cold air.

The ginseng from Wonderful Hall was certainly worth far more than three million and was indeed priceless. But given Qiao Jing’s exceptional medical skills, it was possible that she had previously saved the life of the owner of Wonderful Hall or something of the sort, so the ginseng was given to her out of goodwill.

But the gemstone necklace was clearly priced at three million. Did Qiao Jing really have that much money?

If that was the case, then Grandfather was far too biased, giving Qiao Jing far too much for pocket money.

Actually, for the Zhan Family’s wealth, giving their younger members a few million or even ten million wasn’t a big deal. But the Zhan Family’s education was strict, to prevent them from developing luxurious and decadent habits, so their monthly pocket money was controlled.

Qiao Jing shook her head; she wasn’t too keen on either necklace. She then turned to the sales associate, “May I ask, which necklace in your store is the most expensive?”

She thought for a moment, since she couldn’t pick a good style, then she would just choose the most expensive one—that way, it couldn’t be too bad.

“Hello, Miss, take a look at this one. It was personally designed by our brand’s chief designer, a limited edition, with only three pieces in the entire world,” The sales associate did not look down on her because she thought Qiao Jing, who was dressed plainly, could not afford it; instead, she was captivated by Qiao Jing’s stunningly beautiful features and her ethereal aura, which made her not want to serve anyone else but Qiao Jing.

Qiao Jing looked at the necklace in the sales associate’s hand. It was dazzlingly bright. She thought that girls should like this kind.

“Zhan Nanqing, do you think this one looks good?”

Zhan Nanqing’s eyes were almost blinded by the diamonds. To be honest, she wanted it, but she could tell that this necklace was very expensive!

“How, how much is this?”

“Thirty million,” the sales associate replied.

Zhan Nanqing thought, of course, she knew it!

Such expensive jewelry, she had received a necklace like that from her mother on her 20th birthday.

If she asked her mother to buy it for no reason, her mother would definitely not agree.

Zhan Nanqing’s gaze shifted from the diamond necklace and she looked at Qiao Jing speechlessly.

“It’s beautiful, of course, it’s beautiful. A thirty-million necklace is bound to be beautiful, but do you have that much money to buy it?”

“I’ll take it,” Qiao Jing said, as she took out her wallet.

“Pfft!”

To Zhan Nanqing, Qiao Jing’s behavior was simply showing off.

Right at that moment, the necklace in the sales associate’s hand was suddenly snatched away.

“Pretty nice, huh. I will take this necklace,” said a voice.

Qiao Jing’s brows furrowed slightly, revealing a hint of coolness in her eyes as she turned to look at the girl who had taken the necklace.

The girl appeared to be about her age but was dressed rather extravagantly.

Her neck, hands, and fingers were adorned with various pieces of jewelry, and her makeup was also applied in a very mature style.

“First come, first served. Don’t you understand?” Qiao Jing’s eyes narrowed as she coldly addressed the girl.

“Hah!” the girl sneered as she glanced at Qiao Jing with disdain. “You must be the country bride that Zhan Qipei married, right? I saw you once on your wedding day. He didn’t come and left you there alone, making a fool of yourself. Let me tell you, if I were you, I’d have found a mouse hole to crawl into that day.”

Zhan Nanqing stepped forward, hands on her hips, facing off the girl, “Zhu Tingting, what gives you the right to talk about others? I don’t know who it was that stripped in my brother’s office, trying to seduce him, only to be thrown out directly by my brother. I wasn’t there, but I heard that when you got thrown out, your clothes were in tatters, barely covering your body. A lot of people saw it, and if I were you, I’d be the one looking for a mouse hole to crawl into.”

It was precisely because of Zhu Tingting’s sordid reputation that her family had married her off to a divorced old man.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“You, you—” Zhu Tingting glared at Zhan Nanqing, her eyes filled with rage and her teeth clenched.

Zhan Nanqing had stepped forward not to speak up for Qiao Jing, but because she and Zhu Tingting were archenemies, always at odds since childhood.

Zhu Tingting took a moment to compose herself, then her eyes fell on the diamond necklace in her hand, “Someone sure talks big, but doesn’t know that my husband is a shareholder of this store and has the right of first purchase. Unlike some, even if you are the darling daughter of the Zhan Family, what does it matter? You can’t even afford a necklace that’s thirty million.”

Even though Zhu Tingting had married an old man, he was rich — and he doted on her, which made her feel quite balanced inside.

The back-and-forth between Zhu Tingting and Zhan Nanqing was as intense as a battle of blades, exciting to watch.

Just then, Qiao Jing snatched the diamond necklace in Zhu Tingting’s hand back.

“What’s mine, no one can take away.”

“You—” Zhu Tingting began angrily, but before she could finish, she saw Qiao Jing pull out a black card.

This was the King of Cards, specially issued by the M Federation, the Black Card!

Her husband didn’t have one!

How could this country bumpkin have one?

She figured it out!

“Qiao Jing, you’ve got some nerve! Daring to steal a card from Zhan Qipei?”

As soon as the sales assistant heard this, she didn’t dare to take the card.

Zhan Nanqing frowned, as she too believed that the card in Qiao Jing’s hand belonged to her brother.

Moreover, she knew very well that her brother had no such interest in Qiao Jing, so he couldn’t possibly give such an important card to her.

Qiao Jing arched her eyebrows lightly as she looked at Zhu Tingting, “Did you see me steal it? Or do you have any evidence?”

“Heh, do I need evidence? A poor country girl like you, don’t tell me this card is yours?” Zhu Tingting looked at Qiao Jing with eyes slanted, as if she was looking at trash.

“A country person is a country person, with no manners at all. Oh, I also heard your mother died a long time ago, and your father doesn’t want you. No wonder you have no class at all. It’s lucky your mother died early, or she’d be even more embarrassed by a daughter like you.”

No good! Zhan Nanqing mentally cursed, then turned her head to look at Qiao Jing, only to see that frosty, grim-faced look of hers.

At the same time, Zhan Nanqing remembered the first day she met Qiao Jing. In her attempt to drive Qiao Jing away, she had said nasty things too, similar to what Zhu Tingting had said.

And her consequence was—

“Slap—” With a sharp sound, Qiao Jing’s hand came down hard, spinning Zhu Tingting like a top on the spot several times before she fell to the ground, sprawled on all fours, cupping her face, her eyes wide in shock as she stared at Qiao Jing.

Zhan Nanqing’s eyes were also wide open, this scene was eerily familiar, like déjà vu.

Looking at Zhu Tingting’s swollen face, Zhan Nanqing was reminded of her own situation back then, and couldn’t deny that Qiao Jing’s slap was indeed forceful; it took a week for the swelling to go down.

“You, you actually dared to hit me? Do you know who I am?” Zhu Tingting roared out.

Qiao Jing looked down at Zhu Tingting with an expressionless face, “I don’t know who you are. I do know you must have eaten crap this morning, dirty and stinky.”
