Chapter 104: Let Him Buy First

The sales assistant had already consumed dozens and was starting to lose control, perhaps suffering a concussion; even kneeling, he swayed unsteadily.

"Enough, don’t let her keep knocking herself out—it’s affecting the public image."

Lin Shuyu kept pleading with her eyes at Hong Yu. With no other choice, Hong Yu reluctantly said this.

"Mr. Hong is right!" Liang Jiajie quickly nodded, then without any mercy, kicked the sales assistant hard.

“Damn you, get lost!”

Watching the assistant stumble away, Liang Jiajie was displeased. Originally, he had intended to cripple this sales assistant, who had nearly ruined the business he had worked on for twenty years. Even killing him wouldn’t satisfy his anger.

Liang Jiajie smiled and said, “Mr. Hong specifically came to this jewelry exhibition—are you planning to buy something for your sister-in-law?”

Hong Yu smiled. “Maybe. By the way, he just bought a diamond ring. Why don’t you have your sales assistant wrap it up for him?”

Liang Jiajie didn’t know why Hong Yu brought this up. After thinking for a moment, he recalled that the man and the woman beside him had seemed to mock both himself and Hong Yu earlier. He sneered and approached Wang Qi.

“Looking at you, you seem to be from Huaizhou. You look familiar. Who’s your father?”

Wang Qi felt awkward. He had boasted loudly in front of Lin Shuyu and Chen Yingying, but now all he got was Liang Jiajie saying he looked familiar.

Despite the embarrassment, Wang Qi quickly replied, “My father is Wang Ye, from Wang Real Estate...”

“Alright, alright, I know. Why do you say so much when I didn’t even ask?” Liang Jiajie interrupted impatiently.

He sneered, “With such a big mouth, I thought you were someone important.”

“So that old guy Wang Ye, huh? I remember that old relic once tried to sneak through my supreme VIP channel. What a shameless bastard—couldn’t get rid of him.”

Wang Qi blushed crimson immediately.

He had just been bragging in front of Chen Yingying about his father using the supreme VIP channel once, never expecting this to be the truth.

Chen Yingying, standing nearby, was first shocked when she heard this, glancing at Wang Qi, then suddenly smiled.

Wasn’t the super-rich second-generation heir she had been searching for right in front of her?

Chen Yingying stepped forward with a smile. “Hello, Mr. Liang. I’m Chen Yingying. You were really impressive just now. Could we get to know each other?”

Liang Jiajie frowned.

Having survived in Huaizhou for so long and mingled with the elite, he had seen all kinds of women.

He was certain Chen Yingying was a gold digger. He had no interest in such women anymore.

Just as he was about to slap her and tell her to leave him alone so he could attend to his important guest, he suddenly recalled what Lin Shuyu had said earlier.

Liang Jiajie laughed, “Are you a relative of my sister-in-law?”

Seeing Liang Jiajie smile and respond, Chen Yingying became excited. “Yes! I’m Little Yu’s cousin.”

A cousin? That was fairly close. Although she didn’t understand what was wrong with this silly girl, who seemed displeased with Young Master Hong earlier, family was family. Besides, a girl naturally had a charm that made people inclined to forgive. There was no reason to offend her lightly.

Liang Jiajie enthusiastically said, “Haha, a cousin! If she’s my sister-in-law’s cousin, then she’s my cousin too! Have you seen any jewelry you like? Cousin will gift it to you.”

Chen Yingying was stunned but greedy at heart. She immediately pointed to a diamond necklace in the display case. “Brother Liang, could you give me that one...?”

Chen Yingying was a little nervous. That diamond necklace was obviously expensive—two or three million for sure.

Liang Jiajie didn’t even glance at it and pointed at an intern nearby. “Go! Quickly wrap that diamond necklace and bring it here!”

Chen Yingying jumped up excitedly and hugged Liang Jiajie, planting a kiss on his cheek.

“Brother Liang, you’re so handsome. I love you.”

“Do you have any engagements later? Should we find a room at the hotel next door to chat?”

Now it was Liang Jiajie’s turn to feel awkward. With Chen Yingying hanging on him like an octopus, even his seasoned charm couldn’t handle it.

Especially with Hong Yu and Lin Shuyu watching nearby.

Helpless, Liang Jiajie gave Hong Yu a pleading look.

Hong Yu sneered and gave him a ‘good luck’ glance, while Lin Shuyu blushed.

Her cousin shamelessly clinging to a man, and in public no less—she really didn’t want to acknowledge Chen Yingying right now.

Lin Shuyu scolded, “Yingying, what are you doing? Have some shame and come here right now!”

Chen Yingying retorted, feeling wronged. She thought Lin Shuyu was jealous she had found such a super-rich heir.

She said mischievously, “Sis, just leave me alone. It’s lucky you’re my sister, or I’d think you want to compete with me for Brother Liang.”

Liang Jiajie was shocked.

He thought Chen Yingying was just a gold digger—maybe a little spoiled—but didn’t expect her to be such an idiot.

If he paid attention to a woman like her, didn’t she see why?

“Shut up!”

Liang Jiajie, who had hesitated for a moment, immediately pushed Chen Yingying away and hurriedly bowed to Lin Shuyu.

“Sis, please let me explain, I...”

Lin Shuyu awkwardly interrupted, “No need. I understand everything.”

Chen Yingying quickly took a few steps forward. “Sis, I was wrong. I got too excited and said the wrong thing. You won’t refuse to forgive me, will you?”

Only now did Chen Yingying realize the truth.

Liang Jiajie’s arrogant and domineering attitude earlier, his disdain for Wang Qi, and how he had scolded her just before—all of it came back.

She understood that the diamond necklace Liang Jiajie gave her was actually meant for Lin Shuyu, or... as a face-saving gesture for Hong Yu.

Lin Shuyu sighed helplessly, “Don’t do things like this in the future. Even if you’re poor, be proud.”

Liang Jiajie laughed. “Sister-in-law, what are you saying? As Mrs. Hong, if even you say there are few rich people in this world, then really, there aren’t many wealthy.”

Chen Yingying was stunned. She knew her sister well.

Liang Jiajie’s words sounded sincere, not at all fake. Could it be... Hong Yu really had some powerful background?

At this moment, the intern had finished wrapping the diamond necklace and stood respectfully nearby.

Liang Jiajie didn’t want to cause trouble and motioned for her to hand the necklace to Chen Yingying.

Chen Yingying hadn’t expected to earn a diamond necklace just by coming here. But she still remembered Lin Shuyu’s words; otherwise, she might have clung to Liang Jiajie again.

Liang Jiajie respectfully said, “Sister-in-law, whatever you want, just say it. Anything at the exhibition, ask away.”

Lin Shuyu shook her head. “No, no, that’s too embarrassing.”

Liang Jiajie sighed.

Why was there such a big difference even among relatives?

No wonder the woman chosen by Young Master Hong was truly different from ordinary girls.

Hong Yu smiled, looking over at the flustered Wang Qi. “Let him buy first.”
