Gu Xuexue and Bai Yingzhu immediately became nervous!
If it was just some rumors spread by Gu Qiqi, there was nothing to be afraid of. At most, they would let the security guards beat them up and say that it was a country girl’s nonsense.
But the reporters actually interfered!
That would be troublesome.
The two of them were like ants on a hot pan. For a moment, they didn’t know how to stop the reporters’ sharp mouths.
Unfortunately, Bai Yeyuan and Bai Lang—the two gods who held the fort—weren’t around!
At this moment, Gu Xuexue and Bai Yingzhu deeply realized that doing business wasn’t that easy. They were still inexperienced!
Faced with doubts from all directions, it was impossible to stop those words without some ability.
That reporter continued in one breath without hesitation. “If this piece of Hetian jade was produced from the Hetian Ridge, it would be fine. But it can’t be produced from the northern mountain range! Last winter, the Empire Investigation Team discovered a buried radioactive material in the northern mountain range that nearly covered half of the northern mountain range. Thus, the food and water supply in the northern mountain range were severely damaged. Now, everyone in the northern mountain range has to rely on external food supplies. Do you know why? It’s because those radioactive substances will cause permanent radiation sequelae in the body. The cancer-causing rate, deformity, and death rates are very high! Since this Hetian jade is produced from the northern mountain range, then there’s a high chance that it contains radioactive substances! Thus, I think that Young Lady Qiqi is right. If you want to live a short life, you have to wear more.”
When the rich madams heard this, their faces immediately turned pale!
It turned out that what Gu Qiqi said was true. This Hetian jade was really poisonous.
The jade even had the most terrifying radioactive toxin!
All of them couldn’t wait to throw the jewelry in their hands out immediately as if they had been burnt.
It was all their fault for not caring about current news at all. The northern mountain range was so far away. Who would worry about that kind of poor and remote place?
No! Qing Yuxuan should be blamed. Why did they sell toxic jewelry?
They were all implicated!
All of them looked angry.
Gu Xuexue was still trying to salvage the situation. “Esteemed guests, don’t panic first. Although there are radioactive substances in the northern mountain range, the reporters said just now that it’s not 100%. Perhaps our Hetian Jade originated from another small half of the land without any pollution.”
Bai Yingzhu even grabbed the appraisal certificate and swore. “That’s right. We’re doing an authoritative body examination here. If there’s poison, the appraisal certificate will definitely label it. Since it’s not written, then it’s safe! Everyone, please believe in our Qing Yuxuan’s quality. Don’t let someone with ulterior motives cause trouble and besmirch our Qing Yuxuan!”
Gu Qiqi raised her eyebrows coldly and didn’t give Gu Xuexue and Bai Yingzhu a chance to turn the tables at all. “That appraisal certificate only detects heavy metal toxins and not radioactive substances. Of course, it looks beautiful and harmless. Just because it’s not marked doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist!”
Bai Ying was so anxious that her face flushed red.
Gu Xuexue was speechless.
Amidst the awkward silence, Mrs. Mu, the die-hard fan, spoke.
She didn’t believe that there was a problem with Qing Yuxuan’s quality even if she was beaten to death. After all, her family had stored a lot of goods that were worth millions.
If Qing Yuxuan became worthless, wouldn’t her jewelry be wasted? Let alone selling them to earn money, no one would dare to want it even if she gave it away for free.
Thus, she spared no effort in protecting Qing Yuxuan. “You can’t say that. Although it doesn’t mean that there’s no radioactive material without a proper label, it doesn’t mean that there is either. No matter what you say, it has to be measured. Gu Qiqi, it’s useless no matter what you say here! Everyone, don’t believe her!”
“Sure. Let’s do a live test then..” Gu Qiqi was direct.
