After the universally disliked young master is reborn, the older sisters panic.

Gu Xingzhou was furious that his good friend was being mocked. He shouted, "What will you do if it turns out to be a top-quality jadeite?"

The shop owner scoffed, "If you find a top-quality jadeite, I'll give you my prized possession."

Gu Xingzhou saw the exquisite jade displayed in the center of the shop, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. He chuckled and replied, "Alright, it's a deal!"

Seeing that Gu Xingzhou agreed without hesitation, the shop owner sneered, "Do you think I'm stupid? What about your bet?"

After a pause, he continued, "How about this: if you don't find any top-quality jade, you'll all kneel down and admit your mistake."

That brat dared to ruin his plans; he'll be punished.

“This is a bet between you and me, it has nothing to do with him, he won’t bet with you,” Gu Xingzhou corrected him.

Chen Hao looked speechlessly at the impulsive Gu Xingzhou. Just because of a casual remark, he made a bet with someone. Should he be happy or angry?

He looked up at Gu Xingzhou, "I was just saying it casually, and you actually believed me? What if there isn't any top-quality jadeite?"

“You’re my brother, I just believe what you say,” Gu Xingzhou said nonchalantly.

He doesn't care about kneeling.

"Brother?" Chen Hao murmured.

In his past life, he treated Chen Qian as a brother and gave everything for him, but was eventually killed.

Having only met Gu Xingzhou once, he didn't think their relationship could be so good, especially when it came to interests.

Thinking of this, he looked up at Gu Xingzhou and said coldly, "We just met, we're not brothers."

"Don't you want to be my friend, my brother?" Gu Xingzhou asked, sounding aggrieved.

His eyes looked pitifully at Chen Hao, as if to say, "How could you do this to me?"

Chen Hao looked helpless. "You shouldn't lack friends, so why are you chasing after me?"

He reached up and touched his face. If Gu Xingzhou weren't a man, he would have suspected that Gu Xingzhou was attracted to his face.

Otherwise, he couldn't understand why Gu Xingzhou insisted on being friends with him.

“Because you’re the only one who isn’t after my money and won’t call me stupid,” Gu Xingzhou replied with a forlorn expression.

He was certain that if anyone else saw that sign, they would never tell him, and would secretly call him an idiot.

From childhood to adulthood, he was most often criticized for being foolish and rich, and he never met a close friend.

Chen Hao may seem cold and taciturn, but he has a soft heart; otherwise, he wouldn't have meddled in other people's business. He wanted to be friends with him.

Looking into Gu Xingzhou's sincere eyes, Chen Hao was touched. He couldn't let his past life's experiences prevent him from making friends.

He gave Gu Xingzhou a helpless smile, "Alright, good brother, we'll bet, but I don't want this stone."

"Can……"

"Stop talking, or we're not friends anymore," Chen Hao interrupted him.

Although he coveted the finest jadeite, he had his own principles.

Besides, this isn't the only piece of top-quality jade here.

After a top-quality jadeite was found in the cheap stones at the Zhenpinlou store in his previous life, the shop owner opened all the cheap stones in the store and actually found two pieces of jadeite, but their value was insignificant compared to the jadeite in Gu Xingzhou's hands.

The shop owner, standing to the side, said impatiently, "Have you two made up your minds? Do you want to gamble?"

"I'll bet!" Chen Hao replied firmly.

"Open now?"

Chen Hao didn't answer him, but instead pointed to a few more stones, "I want these."

"Brother Hao, do you like these pieces? I'll give them to you." Gu Xingzhou insisted on paying.

Chen Hao stopped his hand and took out his phone to pay the boss.

Then he joked with Gu Xingzhou, "I'll pay for it myself. If it turns out to be jade, is it yours or mine?"

"It's all yours, and this piece is yours too," Gu Xingzhou replied nonchalantly.

His family is not short of money. Even if he finds jadeite, he won't feel bad. He gambles on stones just for fun and doesn't intend to make money.

Chen Hao smirked. "Let's go, let's go next door and open some stones."

"Not opening here?" Gu Xingzhou asked in confusion.

There are machines right here, why bother going next door to quarry stones?

Chen Hao replied seriously, "Our bet needs witnesses, of course. What if the boss doesn't honor it?"

"Hmph, ridiculous! I won't deny it!" the shop owner shouted angrily. "Let's go next door and have Mr. Tang be our witness."

Just what he wanted, Chen Hao pulled Gu Xingzhou and walked to the next room.

Gu Xingzhou believed whatever his good friend said and let him pull him toward the next room.

As soon as Chen Hao stepped into the adjacent Yu Ling Xuan restaurant, a waiter came up to him and greeted him politely, "Boss Zhang, what brings you here? Please have a seat, I'll go and call our boss."

"Go ahead, we'll wait here." Boss Zhang nodded arrogantly.

The waiter turned his head, pursed his lips, and went upstairs to invite the boss.

A moment later, a refined-looking middle-aged man came down from the second floor.

"Mr. Zhang, what brings you here?" Mr. Tang asked casually.

"I'd like to ask you to be my witness..."

After hearing what Boss Zhang said, Boss Tang looked at Chen Hao and the other man, "You agree?"

“Yes, my brother and I both agree to the bet,” Gu Xingzhou replied lightly.

Chen Hao chimed in, "Yes, we'll bet."

“Alright, I’ll be your witness,” Mr. Tang agreed with great interest.

Today, let's teach young people a lesson: it's good to have ambition, but you can't be overconfident.

He glanced at those stones from a distance and knew there was absolutely no way they could contain jade.

Chen Hao cupped his hands in thanks, "Thank you very much, Boss Tang."

"Please follow me, everyone."

Boss Tang led his men to the backyard.

Chen Hao looked around and saw several cutting machines in the center of the yard, two of which were in operation.

When Boss Tang entered, he attracted a lot of attention.

"Hey, Mr. Tang, what brings you here?" a man in a suit called out.

Boss Tang glanced at Chen Hao and said, "I'll be a witness."

This remark piqued the interest of many, who gathered around.

The man in the suit picked up the stone from Gu Xingzhou's hand, glanced at it, and then gently advised, "Young man, if you apologize to Boss Zhang now, I'll plead for you, and we'll let this matter go."

If things get out of hand, it'll be so embarrassing for a grown man to kneel down and apologize.

Moreover, this kid is clearly not from an ordinary family; his kneeling is a disgrace to the family.

Gu Xingzhou looked at Chen Hao, as if Chen Hao was in charge.

Chen Hao smiled slightly, "Uncle, thank you for your kindness, but a promise is a promise."

"You have guts," the man in the suit praised, giving a thumbs up.

At this moment, Boss Zhang arrogantly shouted, "Let's begin, I have to rush back to do business."

What's the point of wasting time on a predetermined outcome? Let's teach this brat a lesson today, and he'll never meddle in other people's business again.
