Chapter 573 Za’s Embarrassment
“Mom!” Drew walked in happily. Seeing Drew, Miriam felt a little better. “I thought you were at your
Uncle’s ce. Why did youe to the manor again?”
“I know you miss me, so I came here to have breakfast with you!” Drew replied, taking a big bite out of
a steamed bun. Miriam watched Drew wolfing down her food and couldn’t help but smile.
“Is it because you didn’t like your Uncle’s cooking?” Miriam asked.
Drew stuck out her tongue and quickly denied it, saying, “My Uncle’s cooking is delicious! I just missed
you, that’s why I came up the mountain.” Miriam chuckled at Drew’s denial and handed Drew a fork.
“I gave birth to you and I know you too well. You’ve always been picky about food since you were a
child.”
“How can you me me?” Drew gave Miriam a look of innocence. “Well, that’s because you gave birth
to me so well!” Miriam was amused by Drew’s antics, and at this moment, Miriam felt a little better after
the heavy mood from the night before.
Looking at Drew who was wolfing down the food, Miriam couldn’t help but think of her other daughter,
who was five years older than Drew and three years older than Janus. However, Miriam had never
fulfilled her duties as a mother to this daughter.
“Mom, what’s wrong with you?” Drew looked at Miriam and asked worriedly, “Is there something wrong
with you? Don’t scare me…”
“No, I’m fine.” Miriam held Drew’s hand, “Just take your time eating, and don’t choke.’ As soon as
Miriam finished speaking, Drew stuffed a shrimp dumpling into her mouth.
Miriam couldn’t help butugh again as she watched Drew’s uncouth posture while eating. Miriam
decided to tell Drew about her older sister at an appropriate time in the future.
Now, with rence’s people watching Miriam closely, it was best for Miriam to be cautious with her
words, even when talking to her daughter, let alone mentioning her eldest daughter. With Drew’s
company, Miriam obviously ate a little more than before.
After a satisfying meal, Drew shared with Miriam about her life at the base these past few days.
Since Drew was only interested in having fun, rence’s people didn’t find any important information
from Drew. “Mom, I’ve eaten so much of your food, and I can’t just mooch off you! Let me give you a
gift!”
“What gift?” Drew took out a braided bracelet from her pocket, with beads of different colors on it, which
was very chic. “Bonnie taught me how to make it, and I picked out all the beads myself!”
“Here you go! It’s for you!” Drew said as she put it on Miriam’s wrist. Despite Miriam’s high status and
ess to all kinds of jewelry, the simple bracelet brought her great joy.
“Is that beautiful?”
“Of course, it’s beautiful. It’s you who made it, so it’s definitely beautiful, Drew was overjoyed and
hugged Miriam tightly, acting like a child.
“You’re almost an adult, yet you still act like a child. Who would want to marry you in the future?” “Mom,
it’s that nobody dares to want me, but I can want them!!”
“Them?” Miriam looked at Drew in shock. “You want to have your cake and eat it too?” Drew shook her
head immediately, “No, I wouldn’t dare.”
“I don’t think you would dare either. But don’t worry, I’ll make sure your future husband is a good one.”
Brew thought about it seriously.
Drew felt that her mother would definitely like Iowa! But Drew didn’t know if Iowa would like her. After
all, she was a sickly child with a short life expectancy…
As Drew thought about it, she started feeling a little sad and hugged Miriam tightly again. Drew left the
manor and returned to the base. Soon, the third round of assessment began. Jasmine was confident in
her jade appraisal skills. Jasmine was only one point apart from Za, and Jasmine believed she could
overtake Za in this round. After all, as a country bumpkin, it was impossible for Za to identify real
and fake jade after just a few sses.
“The assessment is simple. From hundreds of pieces of jade, they have to pick out the genuine ones.
The one who does it faster and with higher uracy will be awarded five points.” Old Mrs. Vaughan
exined the rules and scoring system clearly to prevent any cheating from rence or other judges.
The assessment began.
Two rectangr tables were filled with various types of jade pieces, including jade bracelets, jade
tes, jade pendants, jade ornaments, and even some uncarved jade stones.
Two baskets with soft cloth were ced next to the jades, one for genuine pieces and the other for fake
ones. Jasmine was confident and calmly picked up her tools to begin selecting the genuine pieces,
while Za just scanned the entire table without picking up any tools.
Za’s unusual behavior caught Jasmine’s attention. Jasmine was convinced that Za couldn’t have
learned to identify real and fake jade after just a few sses because Za seemed to haven’t fully
mastered the use of the tools. Jasmine was feeling proud and couldn’t wait to see Za’s
embarrassment. But in the next moment, Za’s unusual behavior caught everyone’s attention.
Za picked up the jade pieces and threw them into the baskets for genuine pieces with her left hand
and the basket for fake ones with her right hand as if she was picking out products at a store without
even examining them.
Within a few minutes, hundreds of pieces of jade were sorted out.
Just as Za reached out and pressed the bell on one side, her legs suddenly became weak, and she
had to support herself on the table. Old Mrs. Vaughan, the teacher of the course, quickly approached
Za. Old Mrs. Vaughan couldn’t show her concern for Za, so she asked in a stern tone, “What’s
wrong?” Za shook her head, “I’m fine, and I just didn’t stand firmly earlier.” Then Za ràng the bell.
Ding–
The bell rang throughout the room. Everyone looked at her in surprise! Jasmine was also shocked. On
her table, there were still two-thirds of the jade wares waiting to be selected!
Even an expert would need at least half an hour to identify and pick out genuine pieces from hundreds
of jade pieces. But now only ten minutes had passed! Was Za crazy? Did Za just give up on
identifying the real from the fake because she didn’t know how to do it?Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
