Chapter 213 Winning the Bet
Chapter 213 Winning the Bet
He put down the book and picked up a flower-shaped glass ornament, his face filled with amazement. "Oh my God! This glass ornament is simply a masterpiece! The flower-shaped petals look like they were just picked, so beautiful and shimmering, like morning dew. I can even smell the fragrance of flowers! This is not glass, it's magic!"
The people around were attracted by his words and exclaimed in admiration.
Several small business vendors also gathered in front of the fruit-shaped glass ornaments.
One of the dark-skinned men widened his eyes, swallowed hard, and exclaimed, "Oh my goodness! The fruit-shaped glass ornaments are so lifelike! The apples are as red as fire, the grapes are a brilliant purple, and each one is so plump and looks real. The light makes my mouth water. This is too scary!"
Everyone else burst into laughter, looking carefully at the glass fruits while laughing.
There was also a group of children playing in front of the animal-shaped glass ornaments.
A little girl with buns pointing at a bunny figurine exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, those animal-shaped glass figurines are so adorable! Look at that bunny, with its long ears and sparkling eyes, it looks like it's about to jump into my arms!"
A little boy nearby chimed in, "And there are kittens, curled up lazily, their fur smooth and soft, glowing with warmth. They look just like real kittens! The craftsman who made these is a genius!"
The children's laughter attracted the attention of many adults.
Those who originally supported the outsider now all had red faces and shut their mouths, no longer able to say the words they had used to question Su Panpan.
They lowered their heads, their eyes filled with embarrassment and regret, wishing they could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
The stranger's face was as pale as paper and his body was shaking. He stared blankly at the glass objects, knowing in his heart that he had completely lost this time. What was waiting for him would be an extremely embarrassing scene of fulfilling the bet, but at this moment he didn't even have the strength to escape.
Shen Ru was smiling brightly at the side. She held Su Panpan's hand tightly and said proudly, "Panpan, you are so amazing. Look how shocked everyone is!"
Su Panpan stood there, enjoying the astonished gazes of the crowd, her heart full of pride and a sense of accomplishment. She knew that she was sure to win this bet.
Seeing that the men who helped carry the frame were exhausted and out of breath, Su Panpan smiled and took out a few glass balls from the frame and handed them to them.
"Brothers, thank you for your help in carrying these items here today. Consider these glass balls as your reward. Take them as a souvenir."
When the men heard this, their eyes widened. They had never seen such exquisite glass balls in their daily lives. They were surprised and delighted.
They have been busy in the town all year round, so they naturally know how valuable these glass items are.
An older man said in surprise: "This lady, it is really for us."
The other men also looked at Su Panpan with eyes full of doubt and disbelief.
"Of course, I said I would pay you. Why don't you want this?"
"No, no, it's just such a surprise." The older man hurriedly explained.
After hearing this, the other men looked at each other and saw the unconcealable desire and surprise in each other's eyes.
Finally, they carefully took the glass ball, as if they were holding a rare treasure.
"You are such a kind person, thank you!" A younger man said with gratitude on his face, and then he held the glass ball tightly, as if he was afraid that it would fall.
Then, several people thanked Su Panpan profusely before turning around and preparing to leave.
They walked so fast, as if the wind was blowing under their feet, and they looked back at Su Panpan from time to time as they walked.
It looked as if he was afraid that if he was a second late, Su Panpan would regret it and take the glass ball back.
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw the actions of these men.
The bearded man laughed and joked, "Hey, look at these guys. They got the treasure and ran away so fast. Are they afraid that Madam Su will regret it?"
The crowd burst into laughter again.
At this moment, the stranger was watching this scene from the side, feeling even more uncomfortable. His already regretful face now showed even more bitterness.
He knew that he would have to face the embarrassing situation of fulfilling his bet, but he really couldn't avoid it. He could only sigh inwardly and wait for Su Panpan to "sentence" his fate.
Su Panpan then turned around slowly and looked at the stranger, with a look of pride and unquestionable determination in her eyes. She said loudly, "Stranger, now it's time for you to fulfill your bet!"
When the stranger heard this, he shuddered violently and his face became even uglier.
At this time, various conversations were also heard in the crowd.
A woman said to the people beside her: "Look at this woman, she is so capable! That foreigner was just boasting about her skills. Now we have to teach him a lesson."
Another small vendor laughed and said to the person next to him, "Haha, I was wondering if this was possible. This woman seems to be very capable. Now that stranger is in big trouble. Losing a bet is more than just a matter of losing face."
The stranger became even more panicked when he heard everyone's discussions.
He pointed at Su Panpan and said in a trembling voice, "You...you must have used some illicit means, otherwise how could you have gotten so many glass objects so quickly!"
Su Panpan sneered and said, "Don't cheat me! I got all these by my own ability. Everyone is watching us. Now it's time to fulfill the bet and give me all the glass balls on your stall!"
Everyone started to jeer, "Right, right, outsider, hurry up and honor your bet! Don't try to cheat!"
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something to beg for mercy, but looking at the eyes of the people around him who were waiting for a show, he swallowed his words back.
Seeing this, the stranger knew he couldn't escape, so he could only hang his head, his face full of regret and frustration, cursing himself in his heart for accepting the bet in the first place.
He slowly walked towards his stall to collect the glass balls that he had hoped to make a fortune from, preparing to cash them out one by one according to the bet.
The embarrassed look caused everyone to point and talk about it again.
Shen Ru, standing aside, was filled with joy. She held Su Panpan's hand and whispered, "Panpan, we've finally gotten rid of this bad feeling. Let's see if he dares to cheat everyone and ask for exorbitant prices here again."
Su Panpan nodded slightly, with a smile on her lips. Looking at the miserable appearance of the stranger, her heart was filled with joy of victory.
At this moment, everyone in the market gathered around the stranger's stall, waiting to see how he would fulfill the bet. This lively scene was unlikely to stop for a while.
