After descending the mountain, the aloof female CEO became attached to me.

Seeing that Chu Tian didn't even bother to negotiate the price, the shop owner suddenly felt a pang of pity.

In the antique trade, there's a saying: "Three years without business, then three years of feasting."

Making too much money at once can severely damage one's reputation.

As for setting such a high price, it's to give customers some room to bargain.

After all, haggling is a perfectly normal thing in any industry.

"Young man, don't blame me for not warning you, this rough stone may not yield anything good."

"If you think the price is too high, you can choose some other options."

The shop owner offered a reminder.

"It's alright. I think this rough stone is pretty good. I trust my judgment and I'm sure I'll find something good inside."

Chu Tian said confidently.

"This……"

The shop owner hesitated.

"What do you call eldest brother?"

Chu Tian seemed to have seen through the shop owner's thoughts and asked with a smile.

"Thunder Dragon".

"Boss Lei, right?"

Chu Tian patted the other person on the shoulder, "Don't worry, even if this rough stone doesn't yield anything, I won't sue you for fraud."

"I spent this money willingly, and if I lose it, it's my own business and has nothing to do with you."

Hearing Chu Tian say this, Lei Long was filled with doubt.

This was the first time he had ever met someone like Chu Tian.

Not only did they not negotiate the price, but they were also incredibly generous.

Could it be that I really misjudged him?

Does this rough stone really contain some good material?

Or is the other person a rich second-generation heir who is foolish and has too much money?

Lei Long was puzzled, but since Chu Tian had already said so, he was too lazy to persuade him any further.

You're a bastard who doesn't make money.

"Alright, since you've made up your mind, I'll take you upstairs to cut the stone now."

After Lei Long finished speaking, he walked straight to the second floor.

Chu Tian and Lu Xiaoman immediately followed and went up to the second floor.

Unlike the first floor, the second floor is a place specifically for cutting raw stones, and at this moment, dozens of people are gathered around it.

These people were all there to cut stones, but most of them looked listless and dejected.

Clearly, they didn't get anything good.

Seeing this, Lu Xiaoman felt even more that the raw stones Chu Tian had bought were unreliable, so she thought of giving him a few more words of advice.

"Xiaoman, what are you doing here?"

However, before she could speak, a handsome young man dressed in white casual clothes suddenly walked over.

"Wu Liang?"

Lu Xiaoman's face instantly turned ugly when she saw this person.

Wu Liang, however, was overjoyed and extremely excited.

"Xiaoman, I never expected to meet you here. It's truly a blessing from heaven!"

"So, could you give me a chance and be my girlfriend?"

Lu Xiaoman frowned, her embroidered eyebrows furrowing, and said with disgust, "Wu Liang, I've told you many times, I don't like you."

Wu Liang said nonchalantly, "Xiaoman, I know you don't like me, but feelings can be cultivated slowly."

"Furthermore, our two families have been friends for generations, and we are both adults. When adults get married, isn't it all about matching social status and background?"

Lu Xiaoman was slightly angry and said irritably, "Wu Liang, are you ever going to stop? I said I don't like you, and that's final."

"Perhaps for you, feelings can be cultivated slowly."

"But for me, there must be feelings first before marriage."

"As for the so-called 'marrying someone of equal social standing,' that's laughable."

“When I, Lu Xiaoman, look for a man, I never consider his family background.”

Wu Liang gave a cold laugh and said in a lecturing tone, "Xiaoman, can you please stop being so naive? We're both adults now."

"Your so-called disregard for family background is because you are so focused on martial arts that you haven't experienced the harsh realities of society."

"Only marriages between people of equal social standing can last."

"And I happen to be the person who is most suitable for you."

Looking at Wu Liang's arrogant and conceited demeanor, Lu Xiaoman's eyes were filled with disgust.

She never had any feelings for Wu Liang, but because the two families were old friends, she couldn't go too far.

But the other person was like a persistent leech, always sticking to her.

Lu Xiaoman was already extremely annoyed, and with no other choice, she turned her attention to Chu Tian.

Chu Tian also noticed Lu Xiaoman's strange gaze and immediately sensed something was wrong.

But she didn't give Chu Tian a chance to speak at all, and said directly, "Wu Liang, seeing that you've never given up, I can't bear to keep it from you any longer."

"To tell you the truth, I already have a boyfriend."

"What did you say?" Wu Liang's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

“I said, I already have a boyfriend, and I love him to the core.”

Lu Xiaoman shouted loudly, then suddenly took Chu Tian's arm and snuggled affectionately into his arms.

Chu Tian was completely bewildered; things had happened so suddenly that he hadn't had a chance to react at all.

However, Wu Liang's eyes almost spit fire as he looked at the two so intimately.

"No, that's impossible."

“I have been secretly observing you, and I know your every move.”

"You don't have a boyfriend at all, you're lying to me."

Lu Xiaoman sneered, "Wu Liang, do you think you don't know who I, Lu Xiaoman, am? Would I joke about something like this?"

Wu Liang was speechless. Indeed, based on her understanding of Lu Xiaoman, she knew that Lu Xiaoman was a person who valued her reputation very much.

Therefore, Lu Xiaoman would not have said something like this unless it was a certainty.

It's even possible that the two of them slept together.

With this thought in mind, Wu Liang's eyes turned bloodshot, and he roared like a madman.

"Lu Xiaoman, even if you have a boyfriend, don't expect it to last. Your man can only be me."

Chu Tian, ​​who had initially been observing the situation, changed his expression upon seeing Wu Liang's reaction.

Suddenly, he tightened his grip on Lu Xiaoman's waist and said coldly, "Don't even think about it lasting? What a big mouth you have! You try taking away one of my women, Chu Tian's woman!"

Lu Xiaoman's body trembled. Hearing Chu Tian's domineering words, she felt a sense of security.

However, the next second, she realized something was wrong.

No matter what, Chu Tian is her best friend's man.

What does it mean to be held in someone's arms now?

Moreover, because of Chu Tian's force, their bodies were pressed tightly together, allowing them to not only smell each other's scent but also feel each other's heartbeats.

Lu Xiaoman blushed instantly and lowered her head in shame.

Enraged, Wu Liang roared, "Kid, who do you think you are, trying to steal my woman?"

"If you don't want to die, get out of here right now, or don't blame me for being impolite."

He knew all the wealthy young men in Guicheng, but none of them were surnamed Chu.

Therefore, in his eyes, Chu Tian must be a nobody who is not worthy of being mentioned.

Chu Tian chuckled, "Why are all you rich young masters the same? You're always so impolite. Can't you be a little more original? Hmm?"
