After finishing a hearty lunch, Lin Feng and Dong Jie changed into the clothes that Dong Jie had asked the waiter to wash and dry in the morning, and the two of them headed out together.
Considering that Chen Xinni's family were experts in jade, Lin Feng and Dong Jie, being novices, knocked on Chen Xinni and her father's door.
After knocking for a long time, Lin Feng learned from the waiter that they had left early in the morning.
Oh... were they in such a hurry? Upon discovering that they had already left, Lin Feng felt quite curious. Didn't they need to rest?
In fact, this was also Lin Feng's ignorance; antique markets typically open early in the morning, and since Chen Sheng and his family were specifically there to dig for jade, they naturally had to arrive early. If they went over like Lin Feng and Dong Jie did now, they would only be picking up what others had left behind.
However, since they weren't there, Lin Feng decided not to disturb them. The original intention of coming to find them was Dong Jie's idea; she said that since they all came together, it was only polite to say hello when going out. That was why Lin Feng came.
"Hehe... now that they're not here, we can enjoy some time alone together," Lin Feng said more directly after having made a slight breakthrough in his relationship with Dong Jie last night.
"Are you afraid of being laughed at?" Dong Jie said as she lightly tapped Lin Feng on the head.
"Hehe... I bet that if I walk down the street with you, aside from those envious people who can't have what they want, most will just be expressing their admiration," Lin Feng replied confidently despite being tapped on the head by Dong Jie.
"Are you saying they're envious of you?" Dong Jie asked with wide eyes.
"Hehe... they're probably envious of you! After all, who wouldn't be impressed by my extraordinary demeanor, handsome looks, and youthful talent..." Lin Feng said with a smile.
"I told you to stop talking!" In the end, Dong Jie pulled Lin Feng by the ear and dragged him out of the hotel, causing the waitstaff to stifle their laughter.
After leaving the hotel, Dong Jie put down Lin Feng's ear and hailed a taxi. The two sat in the back seat, and although Dong Jie didn't speak, Lin Feng could see the uncontainable joy in her eyes, which made him grin foolishly as well.
"What are you grinning about?" Upon arriving at their destination, which the driver said was the largest Jade Street, Dong Jie asked Lin Feng, who was still smiling.
"Is it a crime to smile? Aunt Dong," Lin Feng replied earnestly.
Dong Jie was taken aback for a moment before realizing that Lin Feng had compared her to an old woman with a red armband who scolded people for littering. Does she really look that old?
As a result, Lin Feng paid the price for his comment, as both of his ears received a gentle reprimand from Dong Jie's delicate hands, turning slightly red.
"Does it hurt?" After finishing with Lin Feng's ears, Dong Jie asked while rubbing them. By this time, they had already walked into a roadside stall.
Unlike the stalls filled with jade stones that they often saw in City B, this roadside stall had some small trinkets. Although these items were small, some of them were quite interesting—provided you had a discerning eye.
Neither Lin Feng nor Dong Jie knew this common knowledge; they were just there to take a look and didn't need to know too much—they were simply looking for something fresh and new.
"Hehe... what do you young folks want to see?" The vendor was an older man in his fifties or sixties with a somewhat lecherous appearance. Although Lin Feng wasn't one to judge by looks, he didn't feel much from the man's enthusiastic greeting.
If it had been a beautiful woman instead, Lin Feng might have felt differently.
In the end, it was Dong Jie who approached first, and then Lin Feng followed her.
"This beautiful lady, how about buying a jade bracelet to wear? A beautiful lady like you should take care of jade," the vendor said, quickly recognizing that Dong Jie was his main target for sales.
"Beautiful lady? At your age, where are your eyes wandering?" Lin Feng was visibly irritated. Despite being discreet, the vendor had dared to glance at Dong Jie's sensitive areas, and there was no escaping Lin Feng's keen mental perception.
Unfortunately, Dong Jie seemed momentarily distracted by the jade ornaments, perhaps because Lin Feng was nearby, and she didn't notice.
Lin Feng could only continue to keep an eye on the sleazy vendor. If he couldn't manage his own eyes, Lin Feng wouldn't mind helping him out.
"Beautiful lady, take a look at this bracelet. I promise you, it's not a scam. A BMW pairs with a hero, and fine jade pairs with a beauty. A bracelet like this is just meant for someone like you," the vendor said, completely ignoring Lin Feng's presence as he picked up the bracelet to put it on Dong Jie.
What a blatant attempt to take advantage! Lin Feng couldn't hold back any longer and snatched the bracelet from the vendor's hand, stopping his actions.
A quick glance revealed that this was jade, but of the inferior kind—like the type that no one cared for.
This guy was exaggerating about this piece of worthless jade. Learning the truth only worsened Lin Feng's impression of this sleazy character.
He had an old buddy from another planet who had seen it all; did this vendor really think he could fool him? Lin Feng felt he had been too low-key.
"How much is this jade?" Lin Feng asked directly, his tone as casual as if he were asking the price of a bag of salt at the market.
The vendor immediately recognized that Lin Feng was an ignorant fool and held up one finger, smiling without answering.
"One piece?" Lin Feng inquired. If that were true, he might reluctantly buy it.
"No!" Old Buddy cryptically shook his finger again and said. Lin Feng thought that Old Buddy was just showing off in front of Dong Jie.
Standing next to such a handsome guy, why are you still foolishly showing off? Lin Feng really wanted to expose this sleazy guy's sinister intentions.
"One hundred?" Lin Feng thought that someone who earns tens of millions shouldn't be intimidated, so he directly raised the price to one hundred times the original.
The guy didn't even respond verbally, just shook his head mysteriously.
Lin Feng also stopped talking. It's not like he was doing business; why should he be the only one speaking? He knew that if he remained silent, the guy would definitely speak up.
"Ten thousand." The guy finally spoke, but unfortunately for him, as soon as he finished, Lin Feng threw the bracelet back at him and said, "I wouldn't even want this bracelet if it were given to me; it just takes up space."
His tone was filled with disdain.
Did he really think Lin Feng was a fool? Even if Lin Feng agreed, Tesla wouldn't agree to it.
However, although Lin Feng threw that bracelet back, he still picked up another piece of jade. This piece wasn't in great condition, but Tesla said it was the best piece in the whole stall, so Lin Feng naturally had to take a look.
"Hehe... Sir has a good eye; this is an old piece passed down from my ancestors." Even though Lin Feng's earlier tone had embarrassed him, the vendor still smiled broadly. However, his smile seemed a bit forced, and Lin Feng could sense something strange in it.
