Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen) -
Chapter 2271
It was obvious that Kingston was from a rich family. He must have been interested in Rachel, so he followed them all the way and even prepared these dishes to win her over.
However, it was a pity that she did not seem to be interested in him. A look of disgust would appear occasionally on Rachel's face when she frowned.
The four of them finished their meal amidst the somewhat awkward atmosphere.
After the 15 minute break, they got back into the vehicle and continued onwards with their journey.
Kingston constantly tried to get close to Rachel in the following journey. However, she hardly responded. In contrast, she took the initiative to chat with Fade.
Fade didn't know whether she was using him as a shield, or because he was one of the only few young people on board.
Her best friend, Hazel, had obviously been bought over by Kingston. Not only did she not help Rachel to reject his advances, she even tried to persuade her. Therefore, it seemed that Fade was the only viable candidate for conversation.
He ended up being blacklisted by Kingston just like that.
The person born with a silver spoon gave him many stern warnings with his glare. Fade ignored all of them though.
Another two hours of driving passed and the car finally entered Mancho City.
The city was not large and it did not have many tall buildings. Nonetheless, compared to the wilderness along the way, this place clearly had much more things going on. There were all types of shops on the side of the road, with many people seen walking by.
After driving for half an hour in the city, the car stopped in front of a jade store at about six o'clock in the evening.
The tour guide led everyone out of the vehicle and they entered the jade store.
Once the roll call was done, the tour guide waved a flag and announced, "Next up, it's the shopping time. Everyone knows that Pagodaland is rich with jade. The jade wares here are of high quality and their prices are cheap. Make sure you guys don't miss out on this opportunity."
"Didn't you say there won't be any more shopping? Why did you arrange a shopping session again?"
"It's past six o'clock. Why do we still need to shop? When can we have dinner?"
"Forget it, it's a cheap traveling group. It's not easy for them as well. Let's just go along with it!"
"That's right. Let's just look around. Maybe well be able to pick up a treasure or two."
Just like that, the tourists entered the store and began to shop.
Fade and Rachel strolled around casually with the rest of the young people.
As they were strolling along, Rachel seemed to have spotted a fancy Buddha pendant. She looked it over in her hand several times.
However, when she saw the price tag labelled with the high price of '4888', she hesitated.
While she was hesitating, Fade glanced at the pendant and simply said, "Don't buy it!" "Ah?" She was stunned for a moment, and then she turned to him in confusion.
He answered, "The pendant is fake. It's not worth that much."
"Fake? How could it be..." She was shocked.
Hazel, who was by Rachel's side, glared at Fade and protested, "Pagodaland is the jade country, and this is a place that specifically sells jade. How can it be a fake?"
"I'm just saying." It wasn't like they were close at all, so he did not intend to persuade her further.
Hazel glared at him again, and she pulled Rachel along. She said, "Rachel, don't listen to his nonsense. From how I see it, I think he's just bluffing. He's been browsing for quite a while and yet he didn't buy anything. He even said the store's products are fake."
He pretended that he didn't hear them and he was ready to leave.
However, the rich Kingston came over and looked proud. He waved his hand and said to the store assistant, "Wrap this pendant up."
He then handed the pendant over Rachel. His face was filled with tenderness. "Rachel, this is my gift for you."
"Kingston, this gift is too expensive. I can't accept it." She waved her hand as she refused.
He replied, "Rachel, we've known each other for so long. Are you not willing to accept this small gift?"
Hazel also tried to convince her. "Rachel, Kingston is also doing this out of the goodness of his heart. Don't reject him like that."
"B- But..." Rachel wanted to refuse, but she couldn't think of any other excuses. Thus, she said, "It might be fake. It would be better if we look around again."
"Rachel, do you really believe his nonsense?" Hazel asked.
Kingston shorted and glanced at Fade. He said mockingly, "You can't even afford that piece of jade that is worth less than 5,000 yuan so don't pretend that you know your stuff. He's nothing but a poor guy!"
Fade did not defend himself. He merely shook his head and was about to leave.
It was then when a burst of complaints and arguments came from the middle-aged men and women who were surrounding the counter.
"What the hell is this? 10,000 yuan for a bracelet like this? Even the prices in our country aren't that high!"
"For this kind of quality? It's obvious that this is a bean-type jadeite, but you're telling me this is a glass- type jadeite. This is just fraudulent!"
"The worst one is this jade pendant.
It's entirely made out of glass and yet, you dare to claim this an ice-type jadeite? Do you take us for fools?" "I won't buy it. It's all fake. I don't think anything here is real."
"Not only is it fake, but it's also expensive. Did you really think we were that gullible?"
"I'm sorry, sir. You've already torn the package. You have to buy it!"
"Lady, you've left stains on the jade. You can't return it."
"I'm sorry. I won't take responsibility once the product leaves the shelf."
"How can you all do this? You're basically forcing us to buy it, aren't you?" "The quality and prices are a complete lie. I want to file a complaint."
"I don't want to buy it. I want to leave!"
"That's right. I haven't had dinner yet. I won't buy anything either."
The group of people stormed towards the entrance and were about to leave.
When they reached the door though, the tour guide's initially friendly expression dropped and a chilling expression came over him. He ordered them crisply, "You're not allowed to leave if you spend less
than 10,000 yuan."
"All of you must purchase a total of 10,000 yuan for me. If you don't, everyone will be trapped here and will not be allowed to go out."
"What!" Everyone exclaimed in that instant.
"Didn't you say that you won't force us to purchase?"
"This is illegal. I'm calling the police."
"I won't buy it. Let's see what you are going to do about it."
"Let's rush out together. I don't really believe that they would lock us up here."
Amidst the noise, the crowd was stirred up. They even began to break through the entrance.
However, the tour guide had a smirk on his face. He was not afraid at all.
He waved his hand, and a few skinny but tanskinned locals appeared at the door. There were wooden sticks and steel rods in their hands. They were glaring fiercely at the tourists. This scenario frightened the middle-aged tourists, and they became quiet all of a
sudden.
