Dingjing Antique Market.

Jiang Chen had already brought Gong Yue here.

Gong Yue glanced outside the car and turned her head with a mocking tone, "Jiang Chen, you bumpkin, playing with antiques? Are you out of your mind? Be careful, or you'll lose so much you won't have any pants to wear."

After giving Gong Yue a glance, Jiang Chen ignored her and got out of the car to head towards the antique market. Rolling her eyes, Gong Yue followed, curious to see if Jiang Chen really knew how to deal with antiques!

After looking around for a while, Jiang Chen slightly frowned. He still hadn't found what he was looking for. Annoyed, he walked into the next shop.

Huh?

Upon entering, Jiang Chen was momentarily taken aback. To his surprise, the clerk in this shop was his cousin, Shen Xiaojiao.

Shen Xiaojiao saw Jiang Chen too, furrowing her brows. Recalling yesterday's incident, she still had no good feelings towards Jiang Chen. Glancing at Gong Yue by his side and seeing her covered in branded clothing, Shen Xiaojiao was even more infuriated.

Good for you! Having a rich wife, flaunting around in the antique shop, yet not willing to lend even a bit of money to us. Today, I'll sort you out properly. Since you're so wealthy, you'd better be ready to bleed cash!

A cold smirk appeared on Shen Xiaojiao's face. Knowing that Jiang Chen was broke, she fixated on Gong Yue, preparing to trip her up. If Gong Yue didn't cough up the cash for Jiang Chen, it would all be in vain.

Jiang Chen gave Shen Xiaojiao a glance but didn't engage with her, instead starting to look at the items in the shop by himself.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, a crisp sound echoed. Turning his head, Jiang Chen saw Gong Yue, her face slightly panicked, stepping back two paces. Right in front of her, a large jade stone had fallen to the ground and shattered.

"What's going on here? Huh? You're just looking at the jade; what do you mean by smashing it?" Shen Xiaojiao pointed at Gong Yue's nose and shouted angrily, "This piece of jade is worth 500,000. You must buy it today, or you're not leaving."

"No, I didn't even touch it. I didn't drop it; it fell on its own!" Gong Yue exclaimed in her defense.

Jiang Chen stepped beside Gong Yue and looked down at the jade stone. At first glance, he saw it was just a piece of low-quality jade, and there was a fine fracture line on one end of the stone—clearly, it had been dropped deliberately.

This was a scam!

Staring deeply at Shen Xiaojiao, Jiang Chen was just about to speak. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he looked down at the jade stone again, his eyes lighting up fiercely.

Just now, his bloodline had actually reacted!

"This is a scam!"

"Yeah, that jade is just a piece of scrap jade, right? They were using it as a paperweight, weren't they?"

"These young people are going to get swindled!"

As the commotion spilled out of the shop, a crowd gathered at the entrance. Some knowledgeable people immediately recognized that the jade stone on the ground was scrap jade, and low murmurs of discussion started among them.

"What's happening?" At that moment, the shop owner came out, glanced at the scrap jade on the floor, and then at Shen Xiaojiao and Gong Yue. He quickly understood the situation. He strode over to Gong Yue's side, blocking the entrance, and harshly said to Gong Yue, "You broke our jade, so you have to buy it. 500,000, not a cent less!"

"Jiang Chen, say something!" Gong Yue was anxious and tugged at the somewhat distracted Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen came back to his senses, looked up at Shen Xiaojiao, then turned to Gong Yue, "The jade looks so nice, it must be a good piece. 500,000 is not expensive, let's buy it quickly!"

Gong Yue was stunned and shouted angrily, "Jiang Chen, I asked for your help! What are you talking about? Are you doing this for revenge?"

"Haha, with such poor judgment, you come to play in the antique market? You're on the road to ruin!"

"Really, if you don't know how to play the game, then don't mess around. With skills like that in the antique market, you'll end up losing even your underwear!"

Everyone at the door who had come to watch the excitement burst into laughter upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, each mocking him in turn.

The shop owner also looked at Jiang Chen with a bizarre expression on his face. It wasn't his first time dealing with a scam, but who would've thought he'd encounter someone this cooperative? What a fool?!

Jiang Chen glanced at the crowd at the door, didn't bother with them, and turned to Gong Yue, "I'm telling the truth, you better buy it fast!"

"I'm not buying. If you want it, you buy it!" Gong Yue retorted angrily.

Jiang Chen shook his head with a helpless expression, "Alright then, I'll buy it myself."

Turning to Shen Xiaojiao, Jiang Chen took out his bank card and handed it over, "Here, I'll buy this good jade!"

Shen Xiaojiao had been amused the whole time, a trace of scornful smile appearing on her lips. Good jade? Good, my foot. It seems this kid has some money. Should I scam them again later?

While thinking, Shen Xiaojiao took the card and looked at her boss with eyes seeking praise.

The shop owner was happy too. He quietly gestured to her with his palm, meaning, I'll give you a bonus of fifty thousand later.

Shen Xiaojiao was suddenly overjoyed, happily swiping the card for the payment. Five hundred thousand in the account!

After receiving his bank card back, Jiang Chen turned to the shop owner, "I've paid the bill, so this good jade is mine now, isn't it?"

"Yes, yes, yes, this good jade is yours now!" The shop owner said with a full smile, purposely dragging out the word 'good' to mock Jiang Chen's ignorance.

"What a fool! Keeps saying good jade, good jade!"

"Really don't know where such a clown came from!"

"To be scammed and still so happy, I've never seen a fool like this before!"

The people at the door couldn't stand it anymore and began to loudly deride Jiang Chen.

Shen Xiaojiao's eyes darted around, feeling that scamming Jiang Chen wasn't enough. She pointed at Jiang Chen and said, "This guy is a poor relative of our family. He has really poor taste, and after hanging out with a minor rich lady, he thinks he's on top of the world. Now it seems, a donkey can't change into a horse no matter how much it dresses up!"

"Haha..."

"No wonder, I thought he was a low-key rich heir when he settled the bill so decisively. Turns out he's just a gigolo!"

"That's not surprising. Gigolos, normally no capabilites. If they had any, who would be a gigolo, eh!"

"Exactly, hey, look, that little rich lady next to him seems angry. His days as a gigolo are probably over! Haha!"

The crowd at the door burst into laughter.

Gong Yue, her face an ashen tone, looked at Jiang Chen with a mix of resentment and anger. No wonder he conned me so smoothly; he ran into a relative. Humph, thinking of scamming me as well, no way!

"Let's go! Aren't you ashamed?" Muttering to herself, Gong Yue pulled on Jiang Chen.

But Jiang Chen didn't move. He swept his gaze over the people inside and outside the shop, smiled slightly, raised his hand to Gong Yue, and shouted, "Next up, the moment to witness a miracle."

Everyone was startled, giving Jiang Chen odd looks.

Shen Xiaojiao, the shop owner, and others all looked at him with derision.

Jiang Chen, indifferent to the onlookers, picked up the jade carving knife and started scraping away at the Scrap Jade.

Everyone looked on with curiosity at Jiang Chen. Shen Xiaojiao was all set to ridicule him again, while the shop owner looked on with the same expression one would give a fool.

Gong Yue, too, looked disdainfully at Jiang Chen, just waiting for him to make a fool of himself.

But as the scraping continued, everyone's expressions changed.
