Chapter 574: Ruined by Her Own Hand
When Li Weiyun regained consciousness, she found herself lying on a hospital bed while her father, Li Sheng, was wearing a grim look on his face.
Li Sheng was the head of their family, so it was his duty to take stock of the family’s development.
He was utterly infuriated by what had happened this time, and Uncle Zhang’s complaint made his chest heave with intense rage.
If they had missed the first-rate ore of the imperial green jade from the start, they might regret it for some time.
However, they were the first ones to have their eye on it!
They had their minds set on it first!
This massive piece of imperial green was priceless to them!
It would do great wonders if they could make it the signature of their store, thus drawing in a major surge of customers!
However, Li Weiyun let it slip from her hands, giving it away to someone else for free!
As he thought of that, Li Sheng got so mad that he nearly choked!
Besides that, Uncle Zhang was also enraged by what Li Weiyun did.
He had made her purchase the ore early on as he knew that it contained treasure.
However, she got swindled by Xia Xibei and ended up giving the treasure to another.
Otherwise, the ore would have been the zenith of his career!
Li Weiyun had ruined it all!
“Dad...”
Li Weiyun looked pale, her expression hesitant and awful looking.
She had recalled what happened earlier.
Li Sheng looked grim and unfathomable, the air around him horridly cold, signaling the onset of a major thunderstorm.
“Do you have any idea how much that piece of jade was sold at?” he asked in a low, deep voice.
Li Weiyun’s face fell instantly, her eyes aggrieved and resentful, tinged with hints of unconcealed curiosity and wariness.
“How- How much?”
“300 million yuan! 300 million!” Uncle Zhang stepped forth and proclaimed loudly, his expression distorted and seeming insane.
How could he not be furious?!
Apart from the potential breakthrough in his career, he would also have received a large commission.
With the price of the imperial green jade, he could have gotten a seven-digit sum at the very least!
However, Li Weiyun had ruined it all!
His chest hurt as he thought of how stupid Li Weiyun had been, despite being the heiress of the prestigious Li family.
Li Sheng knew that Uncle Zhang was indignant, but he did not try to stop him from throwing a fit.
After all, he was a veteran in the profession, and a capable one at that, so he had to be tolerant toward him.
“300 million?!” Li Weiyun gasped sharly, nearly passing out once again.
She might be the heiress of a family who owned a great deal of properties and funds, but 300 million yuan was a remarkable amount of working capital!
Getting 300 million in exchange for 50 million was an exceptional deal, and it should have been hers!
However, it was all ruined by her own hand!
She had to toughen up as she thought of that. Nevertheless, her expression turned ferocious, and her eyes were soon filled with hatred and madness.
“Uncle Zhang told me about what happened today.”
Li Sheng’s heart couldn’t help but reach out to his daughter as he watched her trembling like crazy.
She was the child that he had pampered from a young age, after all.
As he thought of Li Weiyun’s foolish deed however, he suppressed his emotions, and chided her in a cold voice, “What you did today was absolutely stupid!”
“Dad, it was all because of Xia Xibei! She set me up!” Li Weiyun snarled.
“To hell with that!” The usually polite and civilized Li Sheng couldn’t help but swear. “You still don’t think you’re at fault, even now?!”
Although Xia Xibei had set a trap, it was Li Weiyun’s own will to make a fool of herself that led her to fall into it.
Besides, Xia Xibei had made it clear that the stone contained treasure. She had even turned it down a few times.
But his idiotic daughter had given it up like it was nothing!
