Chapter 469

It was that kind of comparison between beauties, determining who was superior.

In the company, she could be called a unique beauty.

But now...

Ye Yaoguang frowned.

Could Gu Lao be joking? Letting the least experienced and youngest girl in his team see if her item could be repaired?

Was this a way to brush her off?

Even if Gu Lao didn't want to repair it, feeling the price she offered was too low, he shouldn't have found the least experienced one to fool her, right? Ye Yaoguang felt dissatisfied inside, but she didn't dare to show it.

Gu Lao held a pivotal position in Jing City, and all families had to give him face; if she wore her dissatisfaction on her face, it would be no different from making an enemy for herself.

If it weren't for the fact that nowhere else could repair it, she wouldn't have come to Gu Lao.

Although Huo Jingyan gave her quite a bit of money, she had used it all, and now she couldn't come up with much money to pay for the repairs.

This porcelain vase was accidentally dropped and broken this morning.

After Huo Jingyan left, she didn't continue sleeping, but instead looked for several places wanting to repair it; the result was that they said it was shattered too badly, the difficulty was too high, and they couldn't do it.

This porcelain vase was very important to her.

She had to repair it as soon as possible; otherwise, she would have no way to marry Huo Jingyan as she wished.

"Shu Xia, come take a look."

Gu Lao pointed at the fragments placed before them, asking Shu Xia to come over and take a look.

Shu Xia glanced at Ye Yaoguang again without leaving a trace, then looked at the broken porcelain pieces placed before her.

It was shattered very badly.

And there might even be missing fragments among them.

She picked up a piece and lowered her eyes to observe it.

When she saw the pattern on it and smelled a faint, lingering scent on it, her gaze darkened, and she immediately put the fragment down.

Then she took a tissue from the tissue box nearby to wipe the lingering scent off her fingers.

Seeing Shu Xia's actions, Gu Lao was somewhat surprised.

Gu Cheng blinked; why did it feel like Shu Xia was very disgusted by the fragment she just held? She put it down immediately after just one look?

Could it be that this porcelain vase was shattered too badly, making it too difficult for Shu Xia?

Seeing Shu Xia's action of wiping her hand, Ye Yaoguang said with some dissatisfaction: "I wipe the porcelain vase every day, it isn't dirty, and it was broken at home, and my home isn't dirty either; Miss Shu doesn't need to be so disgusted."

"I cannot repair this porcelain vase." Shu Xia looked at Ye Yaoguang with a cold gaze, then said to Gu Lao.

Gu Lao was somewhat surprised; the porcelain vase Shu Xia was currently repairing was much more severely shattered than this one, yet Shu Xia had said she could repair it without a hint of hesitation.

Yet now...

Gu Lao guessed there must be some reason for this, so he said to Ye Yaoguang: "You should find someone else to repair it."

Ye Yaoguang had long guessed that Shu Xia couldn't repair it; how could a newcomer with very little experience have the ability to repair this degree of shattering?

Seeing that Gu Lao was about to show her out, Ye Yaoguang's eyes immediately turned somewhat red, "I know that asking Gu Lao to repair it must be several times higher than the price I am currently offering, but can I please ask Gu Lao to help me? This porcelain vase is really very important to me."

"I cannot repair it, you should look elsewhere." Gu Lao refused directly.

Clearly, the beauty trap that Ye Yaoguang used so smoothly was ineffective in front of Gu Lao.

Gu Cheng crossed his arms and sized up Ye Yaoguang, "This young lady, you picked the wrong person to act coquettishly with, right? Gu Lao is old, you should save your energy."

If the money wasn't paid, did she think she could get someone to work for her just by batting her eyes and shedding two tears?

Never mind whether this job could be done, even if it could be done, it wouldn't be done.

Ye Yaoguang choked, her face turning red.

Gu Lao glared at Gu Cheng, "Say less, no one will think you're a mute."

Ye Yaoguang knew that staying any longer would be of no use; Gu Lao would not change his mind.

She would think of another way; Jing City was so big, she didn't believe no one could repair it.

After Ye Yaoguang left in shame and anger, Gu Cheng asked Shu Xia about his confusion.
