Chapter 16: Addicted to Getting Beaten Up?

“Taking an inch and asking for a mile is not a good habit. Do you really think I care about your lousy jade?”

Tang Feng almost threw the jade in front of Gu Qingchen. This damn woman actually dared to bargain with him. Did she really want to die?

Gu Qingchen was not moved at all. Zhou Xiang watched anxiously and whispered in Gu Qingchen’s ear again, “Five million is already a sky-high price. That jade of yours isn’t worth anything at all. Don’t be too greedy, or else you’ll end up poor. Young Master Tang cannot be offended, so you should know when to stop.”

The others did not know the inside story, but Gu Qingchen knew that Tang Feng definitely did not like people who bet with him. Otherwise, who would spend five million on a piece of useless jade?

This five million was indeed very important to her. Her father could completely repay the money he owed Shi Tian, but she did not have any money on hand right now. If she wanted to continue testing her perception ability towards jade, she could only spend money to continue buying raw stones.

She had her eyes set on those large raw stones. However, the price of the large raw stones was also very expensive. Just the 1,000 dollars in her hand was not enough for her to buy.

Now that Tang Feng had delivered himself to her door, she naturally could not let him go.

“Since Young Master Tang thinks that it is expensive, it can only be said that you have no fate with this jade.”

Gu Qingchen extended her hand towards Tang Feng. Her intention was very obvious. She had Young Master Tang return the jade and handed over the check of five million dollars with her other hand.

Everyone was extremely excited by this wave of situation. First, Tang Feng spent a sky-high price to buy a piece of useless jade. Then, Gu Qingchen actually refused to sell it and returned the five million dollars.

These two were abnormal.

At this moment, they wished that the useless jade and the five million dollars were theirs.

Tang Feng looked deeply at Gu Qingchen. He stubbornly thought that Gu Qingchen was playing hard to get.

“Hmph, you don’t know what’s good for you. Since you’re not selling, I won’t force you.”

Tang Feng took back the check, threw the jade into Gu Qingchen’s arms in disgust, and turned to leave.

Having been in business for so long, Tang Feng knew how to play psychological warfare with his opponent. He didn’t believe that Gu Qingchen could still remain calm.

But who knew that after one or two steps… ten steps, Gu Qingchen actually had no intention of stopping him.

Tang Feng’s steps were already very small. He was just waiting for Gu Qingchen to go back on her word. A few more steps and he would really be out of sight.

At this moment, Tang Feng was a little confused. He had been immersed in the business world for so many years, and there were only a few people who he could not see through. Gu Qingchen in front of him had also become one of them.

Was it because Gu Qingchen knew that he had to buy this jade, or was it because Gu Qingchen was so stupid?

One moment, she wanted to give it to him, and the next moment, she wanted six million dollars. What was she trying to do?

He stopped, turned around, and strode towards Gu Qingchen again. His tall figure stood in front of Gu Qingchen like a king.

“Five million dollars is the limit.”

Tang Feng never thought that a young girl like Gu Qingchen would have such strong willpower.

If it wasn’t for Young Master Rong, he would never have done such a shameful thing.

Gu Qingchen looked at the check and then at Shi Tian and Shi Wei, the father and daughter pair. “This five million is just enough for me to pay off my debt. The other one million is for the raw stones I’m going to buy.”

She didn’t haggle over the price but directly informed the allocation of money to Tang Feng. She read from Tang Feng’s thoughts that he had to buy her jade with five million, so she gave Tang Feng a way out, hoping that Tang Feng was smart enough.

Sure enough, after Tang Feng heard about it, his eyes lit up. He took the jade back from Gu Qingchen’s hands and handed the check to her. “Five million. Put the raw stones that you like on my tab.”

“Deal!”

This was Gu Qingchen’s initial plan.

For some reason, looking at Gu Qingchen’s sly and successful eyes, Tang Feng did not want to leave again. He wanted to see the capabilities of this woman who had made him make an exception and made him uncomfortable.

Gu Qingchen took the check and walked towards Shi Tian. Although her steps were not big, it was as if she was stepping on someone’s heart.

“Here is the check for five million dollars. I have paid the money that my father owes you.”

Gu Qingchen was willing to pay the debt. However, after paying the money, they should not blame her for seeking undisclosed accounts.

Why would Shi Tian not want the money that was delivered to his door? He knew that Gu Yuanchuan did not have any money left. He was worried that the five million dollars would never come back. Now that Gu Qingchen had brought the five million dollars, he would definitely accept it.

Shi Tian could not wait to snatch the check, but he did not manage to snatch it. Looking at Gu Qingchen’s teasing gaze, Shi Tian’s face darkened. “Are you playing with me? Let me tell you, if you do not return the money today, I will immediately call the police and arrest your entire family and send all of you to jail!”

Gu Qingchen snorted coldly. “IOU.”

She was not stupid. It was better to be strict when dealing with a villain like Shi Tian.

Shi Tian did not waste any time. He took out the IOU that Gu Yuanchuan had given him from his inner pocket. The moment he took the IOU, Gu Qingchen felt an indescribable sense of relief.

A huge weight had finally been lifted from her heart.

In this life, she would never let her parents suffer any grievances!

“Five million… that’s a huge sum of money. With this five million, I can do nothing for the rest of my life.”

Gu Qingchen kept the IOU with a deep expression and said meaningfully.

Shi Wei and her father, Shi Tian, had different thoughts. Shi Tian hoped that Gu Yuanchuan could pay back the money, while Shi Wei thought that Gu Qingchen would always have to bow down in front of her if the Gu family owed the Shi family money.

Now that Gu Qingchen had paid back the money, Shi Wei could not accept it.

“You, don’t be so smug. Even if you pay off the debt, your family is still bankrupt. Don’t think that you can continue to be arrogant. Hmph, there’s still a long way to go. I’ll wait for you!”

The two of them were in the same school and the same class. Now that everyone in the school knew that the Gu family went bankrupt, Gu Qingchen would still have a hard time in the future.

Just wait and see!

Although Gu Qingchen did not care about Shi Wei, she was not a pushover that she’d let Shi Wei pinch her casually. She raised her eyebrows slightly and sneered. “Addicted to getting beaten up? Alright, we… have a long way to go!”

Shi Wei was so angry that she stomped her feet. In the end, she was dragged away by Shi Tian. There were too many people here, so it would be disadvantageous to fight with Gu Qingchen. This little girl had actually ruined his reputation. He would definitely teach Gu Qingchen a lesson.

Looking at the back view of Shi Tian and his daughter leaving, Gu Qingchen glanced at a corner. When she saw that someone had followed them out, the smile on her lips became much brighter.

She had forgotten to tell Shi Tian that if he wanted to take money from her, he would have to pay a price as well.

It was unknown if Tang Feng had been tortured to the point of insanity, but he actually took the initiative to look for Gu Qingchen. “Aren’t you going to pick the raw stones? Let’s begin.”

It was not that Tang Feng was insane, but Tang Feng felt that being defeated by Gu Qingchen made him feel uncomfortable all over. Since that was the case, he wanted to see what was so special about Gu Qingchen that she was actually able to attract the attention of that person from upstairs.

Gu Qingchen shrugged. Since Tang Feng was the financier, she naturally didn’t have any objections if he wanted to pick raw stones with her.
