“She isn’t the only one who has seen a porcelain vase with hollowed-out jade rings. I’ve seen it too,” Qiao Xi said casually.

“You’ve seen it before?” Gu Yao was surprised. Then, he lowered his voice and asked, “Where did you see it? Do you know that porcelain master?”

Gu Zheng’s eyes were deep as he looked at her. How could he have thought that she was a weak little woman who could be bullied?

At this moment, Tang Ruge said gently, “Sir, if you think it’s okay, I can invite the descendant of the Luo family to give it a try. However, I can’t guarantee that he can create a perfect piece. If it really doesn’t work, I can try to invite that expert from the Luo family.”

The usually calm shop owner’s eyes suddenly lit up. He said in surprise, “You can really invite someone from the Luo family?”

Tang Ruge smiled and said, “The Tang family and the Luo family are two of the four great families of porcelain. We’ve always been in contact with each other. Although the Luo family has already gone into seclusion, my father and Mr. Pei can still contact them.”

Mr. Pei was the famous porcelain master, Pei Lingquan. He was also Tang Ruge’s teacher.

The shop owner was surprised by Tang Ruge’s connections, but he still asked calmly, “May I ask if you can invite Mr. Pei over now? Maybe he has the ability.”

Tang Ruge said, “Sure.”

She had never lost a bet. As long as she could invite Mr. Pei, she would have won half the bet.

To be honest, she did like that necklace very much. Although only the chain was revealed, she could still tell that this necklace was expensive. This necklace was probably worth all the jewelry in the Tang family.

Tang Ruge nodded at everyone, then went out to make a call. When she returned, she smiled elegantly. “Sir, Teacher said that he’ll be here soon. Please wait a moment.”

Gu Yao pulled Qiao Xi aside and muttered, “Qiao Xi, are you just going to quietly watch them? It’ll be too late if you wait for that Pei person to arrive!”

Qiao Xi blinked and said indifferently, “So be it. I can’t stop her.”

Tang Lingyun looked proud, while Tang Ruge tapped her forehead and said, “You’re just a child. How could you ask others to use such a precious thing as a bet?! Don’t do this again!”

“I didn’t force them. Who asked them to have the intention of snatching the vase from us? If I don’t make them learn their lesson, they’ll really think that our Tang family is easy to bully!”

Tang Lingyun glared fiercely at Qiao Xi and said disdainfully, “We know that you can’t invite a porcelain master, so we won’t make things difficult for you. As long as you leave the necklace behind and get out of this shop immediately, this matter will be settled!

“If news of this gets out, how will you still be able to survive in high society in the future?”

As soon as she finished speaking, a voice came from outside the door. “Mr. Pei is here!”

Pei Lingquan was a master in the world of porcelain. He usually attended all kinds of banquets and competitions, so everyone knew what he looked like. Every time he appeared, he would be extremely high-profile, bringing along a group of disciples and followers.

“Miss Tang, you’re indeed capable. You called Mr. Pei over with just one call!”

Pei Lingquan walked in. Tang Ruge hurriedly went forward and said respectfully, “Teacher, you’re here.”

“Where’s the porcelain vase?” Pei Lingquan nodded and went straight to the point.

Tang Ruge immediately brought Pei Lingquan to the porcelain vase. The shop owner smiled and said, “Mr. Pei, sorry for not going out to welcome you!”

Pei Lingquan had been in the porcelain industry for so long and naturally knew the background of this shop. He did not dare to be arrogant in front of the shop owner and only said indifferently, “Sir, I can indeed make a porcelain vase, but the hollowed-out jade rings will be a little difficult. I might not be able to do it perfectly, so I can only invite that expert from the Luo family to come. Do you think it’s okay?”

In the world, only that expert from the Luo family could make a perfect porcelain vase with hollowed-out jade rings. If Mr. Pei could invite that person, Grandpa’s wish would naturally be fulfilled.

The shop owner immediately beamed with joy and became more respectful. “That’s good. I’ll thank you on behalf of my grandpa.”

At this point, the winner of the bet seemed to have been finalized. Miss Tang had invited Mr. Pei, and Mr. Pei could invite the expert from the Luo family. Qiao Xi seemed to have given up.

Tang Lingyun pointed at Qiao Xi and ordered, “Quickly admit defeat! Don’t waste any more time. Hand over the necklace now!”

Pei Lingquan’s gaze landed on Qiao Xi. “You’re the one who made a bet with my student?”
