Chapter 65 Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
Xia Ruyue and Hu Yaosheng fled in panic, eventually leaving the mall and returning to their car.
"Ruyue, what exactly is the background of this abandoned son of the Xiao family?" Hu Yaosheng asked, his mind uneasy.
The facts he had just witnessed were so astonishing that they even challenged his understanding of the world.
It can be said that no one in the entire southern city could receive such extraordinary treatment from that shop, because no one was qualified.
How could someone rumored to be a useless outcast in the Xiao family be treated so well? This is simply unbelievable!
Hu Yaosheng absolutely refused to believe that the person didn't have an extraordinary background.
"I don't know what's wrong with him..." Xia Ruyue's heart pounded; she was truly terrified.
The Xia family has never respected Xiao Chen, but recently he has repeatedly surprised everyone, which is simply unbelievable.
"Oh, right!" Xia Ruyue suddenly exclaimed, "Is that clothing store related to the Ling family in the provincial capital?"
"It seems... there is some connection..." Hu Yaosheng replied uncertainly.
“That makes sense then.” Xia Ruyue said with a sudden realization, and then told Hu Yaosheng about the Ling family from the provincial capital opening a company in Nancheng and hiring Xiao Chen’s adoptive father.
"So he's just relying on the Ling family's influence. I thought he was something special," Hu Yaosheng said indignantly.
He didn't think about it in detail. Even if the Ling family from the provincial capital went to that special clothing store in Nancheng, they would never be treated differently.
"Let this kid be arrogant for now, he'll get what's coming to him later," Xia Ruyue said with a sneer.
After talking for a while, the two drove away.
Shortly after, Xiao Chen, Chen Shuyi, and Lin Youyou also left the mall.
Lin Youyou's hands were trembling as she carried the dress, which was worth hundreds of thousands of yuan.
These dresses are the most expensive luxury items she has ever owned in her life.
One of her dresses is worth more than her father's annual income!
"Brother Xiao Chen, where did you get so much money?" Lin Youyou asked the question that had been on her mind.
"This is my personal savings," Xiao Chen said with a smile.
Lin Youyou fell silent.
Who knows how much secret money he has, or how he got it?
"How many things have you been hiding from me?" Lin Youyou looked up at Xiao Chen.
She knew Xiao Chen had many secrets, and was only asking jokingly.
Chen Shuyi looked over curiously; she wanted to know too.
Xiao Chen is truly mysterious. Several things that happened today show that he is definitely an extraordinary person.
"I'll tell you everything later," Xiao Chen smiled.
“Youyou, my father’s birthday is coming up soon. He loves collecting rare antiques, so I’m going to go to the antique market to give him a surprise,” Chen Shuyi said.
"But I know nothing about antiques, I wonder if Brother Xiao Chen knows anything about them..."
"Antiques, I know a little bit about them." Xiao Chen shrugged.
"Great! Then please ask Brother Xiao Chen to help me choose one."
Before Xiao Chen could speak, Lin Youyou preemptively agreed. Faced with her coquettishness, Xiao Chen had no choice but to reluctantly comply.
Forty minutes later, they arrived at a bustling market.
This is the outer perimeter of the Nancheng Antique Market, where antique dealers can be seen setting up stalls everywhere, and the area is very crowded with people coming and going.
After the two went inside, Chen Shuyi kept looking around at the vendors' goods, seemingly very interested.
With her like this, the vendors naturally started shouting loudly at her, boasting about their antiques.
Xiao Chen shook his head helplessly.
Chen Shuyi is clearly a complete novice who knows nothing about antiques. Everything looks interesting and fun to her. Antique vendors love to fleece such easy targets.
"Ninety-nine percent of what these vendors sell are fakes and imitations; even if they are genuine, they're not worth much," Yang Ming warned.
"Uncle Ming, do you know anything about antiques?" Chen Shuyi asked.
"I know a little," Yang Ming said with a faint smile.
"Come on, generally speaking, people who know a little about things aren't really experts. I think you're just talking big again," Chen Shuyi scoffed.
However, she clearly knew the rules and didn't intend to shop around here. Instead, she led Xiao Chen straight to the deepest part of the place.
Finally, they came across a classically decorated antique trading hall.
There are far fewer people here, but the pedestrians are different from the various people outside; they have a higher social standing.
"I don't have much money left, and I don't know if I can buy a good antique..." Chen Shuyi pondered.
"How much money did you bring?" Xiao Chen asked.
"There are 70,000 left."
Xiao Chen paused for a moment.
I don't know whether to call her an amateur or naive.
I want to buy some good antiques for 70,000 yuan in this trading hall...
Judging from the size of this trading hall, Xiao Chen estimated that any rare item would be worth hundreds of thousands.
It seems I'll still have to rely on him to buy the wedding gift.
The two followed the flow of people into the trading hall.
Chan Suk-yee said there was an event here today, so she came to join in the fun.
There were quite a few people, and it was inevitable that we would run into acquaintances.
“It’s them again…” Chen Shuyi paused, her face darkening slightly.
She saw Xia Ruyue and Hu Yaosheng, who had previously fled the clothing store in a sorry state, and unexpectedly bumped into them here again.
However, this time there were not only the two of them, but also a middle-aged man.
“That person seems to be the head of the Xia family… He also likes antiques and often competes with my father for items at auctions; my father rarely wins…” Chen Shuyi read aloud.
Xiao Chen glanced at it and frowned slightly.
Xia Liuli's father, the head of the Xia family.
At the same time that Chen Shuyi saw them, Xia Ruyue also noticed the two of them.
"Uncle, look." Xia Ruyue tugged at Xia Yuanzhi, the head of the Xia family, and pointed to Xiao Chen and the others.
“It’s that kid Xiao Chen…” Xia Yuanzhi glanced at him, his brows furrowing quickly. “What are they doing here?”
Xia Yuanzhi's expression was not good.
The feud between the Xia family and Xiao Chen is irreconcilable.
Now they are on the same side as the Xiao family and are extremely hostile to Xiao Chen.
“I think they’re definitely here to buy antiques,” Xia Ruyue said.
"They dare to come here?" Xia Yuanzhi suddenly sneered.
"No money and no sense of judgment, aren't they just here to make a fool of themselves?" Xia Yuanzhi said, his eyes flashing, as if he suddenly had some ideas.
