Bab 39: Chapter 39
"It's not real because the Ruby Dragon was lost back in the Li Dynasty. It was given to the Prince who soon became the King because of his strength and power because when he was a child, he was always sick."
"Believe me or not, but the real Ruby Dragon has a dragon's face in the middle of it. Not the whole Dragon Snake craved in this old man's fake stone."
"Get out!"
Liu Ru's voice roams around the area as he heard what Meixiu just said. His eyes were shaking in the process.
Who is she? She knew a lot!
What Meixiu said was true. It was given to the Prince who was always sick when he was a child.
He recently knew about it upon stumbling into a book inside his colleague's house.
His colleagues told him the antique has been lost in history for a long time so no one paid attention to look after it.
By hearing what he said, Liu Ru suddenly got the idea to make a fake one to sell to someone rich.
His main target is Suyin and the Jia family. He knew they wouldn't bother looking at it around to know if it was true as long as it was Liu Ru who was talking.
But he didn't expect Suyin to bring someone who has more knowledge than him.
Suyin look at Liu Ru and furrowed her eyebrows.
"Is it true?"
Liu Ru looks at her with a smile and shakes his head.
"Ms. Jia, you know I won't lie to you right?"
"There's a way to know if I'm telling the truth."
Suyin and the gentlemen all look at Meixiu. Zhaohui scoffs before he crosses his arms.
"I don't believe you. Liu Ru's been in this industry longer than you."
The two look at each other and nodded their head. Tingguang steps forward and smiles at Suyin.
"Ms. Jia, maybe you bring the wrong person. If you don't want to believe Liu Ru, I can just buy the stone from him."
"No! Tingguang! I already told you my business has been declining recently. I needed more than you!"
Chonglin said to him. Suyin walk towards Meixiu and hesitantly held her arms. The taller girl looked at her.
"Ms. Song, may I know how am I going to believe you?"
Meixiu smiles and patted Suyin's hands around her arms. She looked at Liu Ru whose eyes is shaking again but he didn't say anything.
"We need alcohol and a tissue. It's not just ordinary paint as it's something but the alcohol and the tissue can show us."
"If we can remove the unique paint, that only means it's not real."
Suyin nodded and ask the staff if they had alcohol and a tissue.
"Me. Song, here it is."
Suyin went to Meixiu and gave the things. The taller girl grab the things and went towards the stone.
Liu Ru looks at Meixiu before approaching her and grabbing her arms.
"Mr. Liu."
"Little girl, you'll only get embarrassed."
"Mr. Liu, let her."
Suyin approaches Liu Ru and held his arms. Meixiu continues to approach the stone, opening the bottle of alcohol.
She pours it all over the stone and put tissue around it. She looks at Suyin and invites her to see it.
Suyin removes her arms around Liu Ru's arms and walls toward her. The gentlemen all look at each other before approaching.
They all saw the red paint being visible and slowly started to scatter.
"The paint in the tissue is becoming redder. That only means it's not real. The real Ruby Dragon will only look like pink with tissue and alcohol."
Meixiu grabs the tissue and put it aside. She points at the darker part of the stone.
"This is a fake one. The color shouldn't come out like this."
Suyin and the others all look at the stone. They gasp and look at Liu Ru, who's already trembling in fear.
"You're trying to sell that to us!?"
Chonglin is the first one to approach him and held his collar. Liu Ru smiles awkwardly before shaking his head.
"It's not me!"
"Don't lie to us! You know you are at fault!"
Tingguang stands beside Chonglin and points at Liu Ru's nose.
"I-it's not me! I promise!"
"Who is it then!? Tell us!"
Zhaohui pushes Liu Ru towards the trolley. The old man stumbled and he accidentally bumped into the stone.
The stone broke in half and it causes Meixiu to widen her eyes. She approaches it and grabs the dark stone it has inside.
She quickly put it inside her pocket and look at Liu Ru, who is being beaten by Tingguang at the moment.
Suyin shakes her head and looks at Meixiu. She smiles apologetically and bows down.
"Ms. Song, let's go now. I'm sorry for wasting your time."
Meixiu nodded. Suyin went first but was stopped by the gentlemen.
"Ms. Jia, let us apologize to the master."
Suyin looks at them before nodding her head and stepping aside. The gentlemen all bows down at Meixiu.
"Master, thank you for helping us. We apologize for our action earlier."
They all said together.
Meixiu smiles at them and waves her hands.
"It's nothing, Suyin ask me to help her so I did."
Suyin blushes at what she heard.
The gentlemen all look at Suyin and saw her action.
"Still, we want to thank you for what we discovered."
Zhaohui said and bowed down. He quickly grabs a calling card and gives it to Meixiu.
"You can call me anytime you needed something."
"Please, you can also call me."
Tingguang also offered his card. Chonglin glares at the two before doing the same.
"I can also offer you services."
Chonglin said, giving his card with two hands. Meixiu looked at the confused before nodding and grabbing all of the cards.
"You can always count on me."
They all said. Meixiu looks at Suyin and smiles.
"I still need to go home, my mother and grandmother still need to eat dinner."
"Yes, please."
The gentlemen all look down and make way for Meixiu. The taller girl nodded at Suyin who walk first.
"Ms. Song."
Suyin went to Meixiu's side.
"I'm sorry about what happened earlier. I feel embarrassed because of what Mr. Liu did."
"It's fine. It's not you who did it."
"Still, Ms. Song, I apologize for inviting you to nothing."
"I did something though..."
Meixiu stops and looks at Suyin. The smaller look back at her and blushes a bit.
"... I protected you from a scammer, don't say sorry."
Meixiu patted Suyin's shoulder. The smaller bowed her head and nodded.

"Why are you here?"
Mingxia asked, looking at Xiaohui who's bringing a basket full of fruits.
The younger put the fruits on the table beside the bed and sat down on the chair.
"Ms. Zhong wants to give this to you."
"Huh? She's suddenly nice to me? I thought she only likes you."
"What are you saying? She's not nice."
Mingxia sneered at her.
"You still tried to deny it? Tell me, what did you do for Ms. Zhong to like you?"
Xiaohui shakes her head as she couldn't think of anything. The door opened and the two of them both look at it.
"Mingxia!"
"Mom? Dad?"
The old couple both stride toward the bed and hug the girl. Xiaohui stands up and stands on the side.
"Mingxia! What happened? Who did this to you?"
"Mingxia, we went out for a while and this is what happened to you?"
The woman look to the side and saw Xiaohui. She scoffs and looks at her in hatred.
"What are you doing here?"
She crosses her arms.
Xiaohui bows down to greet her uncle and auntie.
"Welcome back. Auntie, Uncle."
"We just went back and saw you. It's not good!"
Zheng Yan is Xiaowen's older brother. Yan is known for not liking his sister because of how Xiaohui grabs the attention of the old Master.
His wife, Xiong Chen, is the same as he is. She doesn't like Xiaowen because of how arrogant she is.
Maybe because Xiaowen was spoiled by her mother.
"Yeah, don't anger us!"
"Uncle, Auntie, I just wanted to visit Mingxia."
"I don't want to see you! Go and leave!"
Mingxia said, glaring at Xiaohui. The younger girl couldn't speak and just nodded before leaving.
Xiaohui's eyes become teary and she quickly wiped them, not wanting anyone to see them.
She went out of the hospital to the bus station to went back to the company.
