Chapter 2753 Thirty Only: The Sea King's Deception!
When Wang Manni saw that Liang Zhengxian was still not leaving even after being rejected, she realized that she had been hit on!

She feels like she's been having a lot of romantic luck lately. Before, no wealthy men would come to her, but now they're all coming in droves!

Wang Manni was already of marriageable age, and if Liang Zhengxian had spent more time with her earlier, she would have been willing to spend more time with him.

But now Wang Manni is indeed referring to Liang Zhengxian as a potential client, and she speaks very politely.
“Mr. Liang, I’m from Shanghai, and it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

After exchanging a few polite words, Liang Zhengxian sensed that Wang Manni felt distant, which made him even more interested.

He tentatively asked, "Madam, the jade pendant you had earlier was very exquisitely crafted. Which master craftsman was it? I don't think I've ever seen it before."

Wang Manni didn't understand. Liang Zhengxian, are you really not familiar with him, or are you just pretending not to have seen him?

If it's just a hoax, Wang Manni can easily dismiss it as mere a joke.

But if what Liang Zhengxian said is true, then the jade pendant is likely fake, given that someone so wealthy doesn't know how to use it.

Wang Manni wanted to test the waters, so she shook her head and said, "Sorry, I don't know, and I don't understand. Is this thing very precious?"

Seeing that Wang Manni answered so frankly, Liang Zhengxian didn't mind showing off his extensive knowledge and connections. "Last year, Christie's auction house auctioned a jade openwork dragon pendant, which reportedly sold for two million."

"I think your carving is excellent, the material is perfect, and they look like two real dragons. They might sell for more, at least tens of millions, right?"

Wang Manni's hand trembled slightly. She didn't know whether she should hold the jade pendant tightly, but she was also worried that it would fall if she didn't hold it.

She couldn't believe her ears.

A small jade pendant can cost tens of millions of yuan. If Wang Manni had tens of millions more, she could have bought a house in Shanghai and wouldn't need to move anymore.

Liang Zhengxian noticed Wang Manni's expression and understood that she wanted to sell the jade pendant. He felt his opportunity had come, so he smiled and said...

"Let's exchange contact information. If you want to sell this jade pendant, you can contact me. My father-in-law's birthday is coming up soon, and I need a gift."

Wang Manni knew that her embarrassment had been seen through. She smiled awkwardly but politely and said, "Thank you. Let me ask my friend first. This is a gift from my friend."

"Okay, contact me again when you've thought it through."

Liang Zhengxian nodded politely, didn't bother him any further, and turned to leave.

However, Liang Zhengxian hadn't walked far when he called over a waiter, casually handed him a US dollar bill, and then asked...
"Do you know where that woman lives?"

Wang Manni was completely unaware of all this. Her face was flushed and her heart was pounding. Her fingertips, gripping the jade pendant, turned white, but she still dared not let go, fearing that if she did, the pendant would be gone.

Finally, it was the waiter who finished dry cleaning Wang Yue's clothes that brought her back to her senses.

Wang Yue was unaware of Wang Manni's chance encounter outside. He thought that if he wanted to successfully disguise his relationship without affecting his life, he could open a training class, such as a music, chess, calligraphy, painting, horseback riding, or archery class.

However, all of these things require money, and Wang Yue was torn about whether he should secretly start writing programs to make money.

When Wang Manni returned with the clothes, she saw Wang Yue wearing only a bath towel, clearly having just taken a shower, and standing there lost in thought.

Wang Manni put the clothes on the bed, and then asked curiously, "What are you thinking about?" Wang Yue smiled and said, "I heard you say before that you can't get anywhere in this world without money. Although I consider myself to be no less capable than others in both literature and martial arts, I want to earn money to support myself, but I don't know what I can do to make money here."

Wang Manni's mind was filled with thoughts of the jade pendant. She wondered if Wang Yue would want it back once he found out it was valuable.
However, the kind-hearted Wang Manni still felt that they should have a proper talk later, and of course, she should also clarify the matter of the jade pendant.

"You should get dressed first, and we'll have a good talk later."

"Thank you, young lady!"

Wang Yue performed a traditional Chinese greeting to Wang Manni before picking up the clothes, then looked at Wang Manni awkwardly again.

At first, Wang Manni was stunned by Wang Yue's impeccable manners; his movements were graceful, natural, and very beautiful.

After regaining her senses, Wang Manni found it quite amusing and felt more relaxed.

Wang Manni didn't know why Wang Yue was looking at her, but when she saw Wang Yue wave the clothes in his hand, she realized what was going on.

"Then I'll go outside and wait for you!"

Wang Yue didn't keep Wang Manni waiting any longer. He quickly changed his clothes, opened the door, and went out.

Wang Manni suddenly turned around and saw Wang Yue dressed in ancient costume, which made her dizzy.

The stranger is like jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world!
Fortunately, Wang Manni had gone to school and remembered this sentence; otherwise, he could only use one sentence.
Holy crap, that guy is so handsome!

It has to be said that Wang Yue, with his ever-changing temperament, is no longer the ordinary boy he was before he time-traveled.

Wang Yue was also satisfied with Wang Manni's reaction, and immediately asked in a gentle and polite manner, "You just said you had something to talk to me about, what is it?"

Wang Manni recounted the story of the jade pendant, then said helplessly, "To be honest, there was a moment when I didn't want to tell you the truth. After all, if I really sold this jade pendant, I could have a house in Shanghai. But I feel that I still have to tell you this."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yue smiled and said, "Let's not sell the jade pendant. Let's think of other ways to make money."

After all, that item is unique; once you take it out, it will be difficult to buy it back.

Wang Manni was moved to tears when she heard Wang Yue tell her to keep the jade pendant and showed no intention of taking it back to sell it.

When Wang Manni watched The Legend of the Condor Heroes before, she didn't understand why Huang Rong would fall in love with Guo Jing, but now she finally understands.

It's not that Huang Rong, who was pampered, would be moved by the gold and the fine horse Guo Jing gave her, but rather that she was moved by Guo Jing's naive and silly nature.

Wang Manni felt that Wang Yue was like Guo Jing now. The most valuable thing Wang Yue had was probably this jade pendant. But Wang Yue came to a strange place and didn't think about how he would live in the future. Instead, he wanted to give this jade pendant to her.

Wang Manni felt that this was a token of their love and indeed not suitable to sell, so she simply changed the subject and instead said with a smile...

"Let's go, I'll take you to eat. You've been drifting around for who knows how long, you must be hungry."
