"Let's not beat around the bush, one hundred taels, as a firm offer!" Zhang Xiaoying got straight to the point.

The shopkeeper's eyes flickered with hesitation, "Madam, this is a pawnshop, not Shantang. If you were to quote such a price elsewhere, you'd be thrown out."

"The shopkeeper knows his goods, this jade has been passed down in my family. If it weren't for my no-good son falling seriously ill, I would never consider pawning it," Zhang Xiaoying wiped away a nonexistent tear, "but a life is at stake!"

The shopkeeper took the jade pendant from Zhang Xiaoying's hands again.

The item was truly exceptional, but businessmen always seek larger profits.
