Chapter 180: Paid One Hundred Thousand
"Alright, everyone watch me throw the sandbag ball; there’s nothing particularly special about it," Chen Tianlong said nonchalantly.
"Wow, that’s amazing!"
"This guy actually threw five sandbags at once, and hit all of them. He’s really something!"
"Truly a legend!"
The crowd showered him with compliments.
Chen Tianlong walked up to the owner and said casually, "I’ll take the bracelets, and I want two of them. You can keep the rest. Your trick was so basic, the setup wasn’t even a challenge for me."
"Huh?"
The owner was completely dumbfounded. He never expected his little trick to be seen through by this young man, who decided not to expose him. Otherwise, he’d be beaten up and forced to compensate right there. So at this moment, the owner was very grateful to Chen Tianlong for keeping quiet.
"Okay, I’ll give you two."
The owner quickly handed over his only stock, feeling a bit heartbroken, but he had to give them up or else he’d probably be out of business soon.
"Thanks!"
Chen Tianlong accepted them without hesitation and prepared to turn around and give them to the two girls behind him.
"Darling, I also like that bracelet. Get it from him for me," said Mo Bolun’s girlfriend, unhappy that not only had Tianlong hit the target with a sandbag, but the owner also gave him two bracelets. She really thought Mo Bolun was lacking.
"Um..."
"Hmph, well, if you want it. If you don’t, just don’t think about finding me tonight," the woman snapped, giving Mo Bolun a disdainful look.
"Alright, I want it!"
Mo Bolun took a deep breath, approached Chen Tianlong, and said, "Chen Tianlong, you have two bracelets... sell one to me!"
"Heh, and who are you? Just because you say sell, I have to sell? ****," Chen Tianlong retorted, then turned his head, completely ignoring Mo Bolun.
Mo Bolun felt the heat of the eyes around him, humiliated on the spot.
"Bolun, how come you’re such a coward? Didn’t you tell me before that you’re not afraid of heaven or earth, and you’d punch anyone who provoked you? Now someone insults you, and you don’t even dare to fart," the woman instigated.
"Who said I wouldn’t dare? I’ll get that bracelet for you, and if he doesn’t give it to me, I’ll beat him up," Mo Bolun vowed. He couldn’t bear the embarrassment in front of others, but losing face in front of his woman meant no more duels in the future.
He took two steps towards Chen Tianlong, about to speak loudly, but when he saw Chen Tianlong’s fierce gaze, he swallowed his words back down.
"Chen Tianlong, let’s make a deal. Isn’t that bracelet priced at 1999 yuan? I’ll pay you three times as much, sell it to me," Mo Bolun proposed, not daring to directly confront Chen Tianlong even though in South Sea, Chen Tianlong couldn’t possibly do anything to him, but he also didn’t dare to provoke Chen Tianlong.
"Three times? Sorry, I’m not short of money," Chen Tianlong replied lightly.
"Ten times!" Mo Bolun gritted his teeth.
"Even ten times can’t buy anything decent, better to keep it as a small gift for the beauties," Chen Tianlong thought it would be fun to tease Mo Bolun seeing his anxious face.
"Huff..."
Mo Bolun exhaled deeply, glanced back at his girlfriend, and saw her angrily stomp her foot.
It seemed like if he didn’t get the bracelet for her, not only wouldn’t there be a ’battle’ tonight, but possibly never again.
"One price, 100,000 yuan!"
When Mo Bolun shouted that number, his heart was bleeding. Although the Hao family had money, it wasn’t spent recklessly. That was his half-year’s living expenses!
"Deal!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Tianlong readily agreed. With that 100,000 yuan, he could buy a diamond-studded one for the young mistress later.
Mo Bolun knew he was losing big time, but for his pride and future happiness, he had no choice but to go through with it.
In less than a minute, Mo Bolun transferred the money to Chen Tianlong’s account via mobile banking. After receiving the confirmation message, Chen Tianlong handed one of the bracelets to Mo Bolun, then turned to approach the two girls.
"Chen Tianlong, why did you keep us waiting so long? What were you doing with Mo Bolun just now?" Lu Xiaoyu asked curiously as Chen Tianlong walked over.
"It’s a secret!" Chen Tianlong said mysteriously.
"Hmph, a secret? It must be something shady. Mo Bolun’s no good; better not hang out with him," Lin Wushuang advised, thinking Chen Tianlong was getting mixed up with Mo Bolun.
Chen Tianlong chuckled, gave the bracelet to Lu Xiaoyu and said, "Xiaoyu, this is for you!"
"Wow, it’s so pretty, Chen Tianlong, I love you!" Lu Xiaoyu exclaimed boldly, not afraid to speak her mind.
"..."
Lin Wushuang was speechless. Her friend was so easy to bribe; a cheap bracelet had completely won her over. How could she seek her advice in the future?
Chen Tianlong didn’t mind. Lu Xiaoyu’s personality was crazy like that, and believing her would get anyone in trouble.
"Huh? Chen Tianlong, why aren’t you giving something to Wushuang? That’s not right," Lu Xiaoyu noted after putting on the bracelet and noticing Chen Tianlong hadn’t made a move.
"Uh..."
"Hmph, who wants anything from him? I definitely don’t," Lin Wushuang huffed, clearly upset that Chen Tianlong gave a gift to her friend but not to her.
After speaking, she strode ahead. Sensing something was off, Lu Xiaoyu quickly followed, holding Wushuang’s hand, laughing and joking all the way, while Chen Tianlong followed behind.
Suddenly, Chen Tianlong felt someone watching him. He quickly turned his head but couldn’t tell what was wrong.
After observing a little, he concluded he was just being paranoid, shook his head, and caught up with the girls.
When the elevator was about to go up, Lin Wushuang suddenly remembered something. She’d recently noticed her bust had grown a size, maybe the last burst of growth.
So, for the past two months, she’d been meaning to change her lingerie but hadn’t found the chance.
Now that she was out, when better than now?
"Xiaoyu, let’s head to the lower first floor!" Lin Wushuang suggested, not mentioning what for, as it was a bit embarrassing.
"Oh? Why the lower first floor? Isn’t that Women’s Street? Does Wushuang want to buy lingerie?" Lu Xiaoyu noticed, looking at the elevator’s sign.
"..."
Lin Wushuang was mortified. Her friend always spoke without thinking. Didn’t she see that Chen Tianlong, a guy, was standing there? How awkward!
She glanced at Chen Tianlong beside her. He showed no reaction, so Lin Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief, while Lu Xiaoyu covered her mouth, amused by their situation.
Chen Tianlong was clearly pretending. As soon as Lu Xiaoyu mentioned it, his mind couldn’t help but picture those colorful intimate garments, causing a slight rush of heat throughout his body.
