Chapter 1163: Twenty thousand yuan in hand. Ye Qian turned her gaze away from Lu Yun and smiled at Cang Wei: "Don't be so humble with me—after all, we're both women. You don't know my network, do you? So, what's all this fuss about calling me over just to chat the usual small talk?" As she spoke, Ye Qian settled herself directly across from Lu Yun and Cang Wei. "Of course not," Cang Wei said mysteriously. "I've come to talk to you about a major business deal—I'm just afraid you might not be able to handle it." Cang Wei was thoroughly familiar with the intricacies of business affairs, and by keeping the details to herself, she aimed to spark Ye Qian's interest. Indeed, upon hearing this, Ye Qian's eyes sparkled with delight and she laughed: "No more delays—don't we need to go around all this?" Cang Wei smiled: "The real deal isn't me—it's my younger brother, Lu Yun." Yue Jian nodded at Lu Yun, silently thinking to herself that her feeling was indeed correct. She glanced at the tea table, where the cups were now empty, and her face changed, sighing, "How could Rain Shan have treated our guests so poorly—she didn't even offer a cup of water! I'll deduct her bonus for this." "Qianqian, are you seriously eyeing my little Yun? I'll be honest—Yun's mine. Don't even think of making any moves." While joking, Weiwei reached into her挎bag beside her and pulled out the remaining four beads. "Weiwei, you've always been so sharp and critical—be careful, no man will dare to marry you!" Ye Qian countered with a smile. However, when her eyes caught sight of the beads in Weiwei's hand, she paused mid-sentence, her expression suddenly surprised as she stared at Weiwei. "Weiwei, are these beads yours?" Weiwei shook her head and glanced at Lu Yun beside her. "They're my brother's." Ye Qian frowned, silent for a while, then finally lifted her gaze to Lu Yun. "Do you know Yang Yanping?" Lu Yun nodded. "I'm her student. These beads were given to me by her." Ye Qian sighed in relief. "Ah, now I understand. You'd like to sell these beads to me, then?" "Yes," Lu Yun replied, "I'm in a hurry to raise some cash." "One at fifty thousand, four at twenty thousand." Ye Qian seemed very familiar with Yang Yanping. Seeing Lu Yun nod, she calmly stated her price. Fifty thousand—though half of what a hundred thousand would be—surpassed Lu Yun's expectations. He immediately nodded, saying, "Very well, deal." "Wait a minute," Weiwei suddenly interjected, looking at Ye Qian with a puzzled expression. "Qianqian, this is quite unfair. Didn't you notice that my brother is just a child? Are you trying to take advantage of him?" Ye Qian was puzzled. "Wewe, what are you talking about?" "Our friendship is friendship, but this business can't be taken lightly. These beads are worth at least one hundred thousand. You offered a 50% discount right off the bat—doesn't that seem a bit harsh?" Weiwei said, her expression serious. Yue Qian chuckled bitterly, saying, "Weiwei, this pearl is indeed worth one hundred thousand, but here, the only one who truly knows its value is me. Even if you take it to a big city, you might not find many people who appreciate it. I have a special purpose for buying these tears—otherwise, at such a high price, we'd end up holding onto unsold items, even if they were truly valuable." "Lu Yun said. "Alright, I'll wait for half an hour—both the 50,000 and the remaining funds will be there by then." Upon saying so, Ye Qian left the reception room. As soon as she went, Wei Wei immediately grabbed Lu Yun's ears and scolded him, "You fool! Do you know how much money Qian has? It's enough to crush you! Didn't you think of asking for more?" Lu Yun sighed, "Miss Wei, isn't 50,000 quite a good amount? When I came here, Teacher Yang told me this pearl could only sell for around 10,000 to 20,000. Five ten thousand was way beyond my expectations—by several times over. Besides, I truly needed the money right away." "What are you going to do with all this money? Are you planning to keep a household of young ladies at your school? With 200,000, you could comfortably support all the female students and even the female teachers—arranging dates with them, one after another!" Wei Wei tightened her grip and said angrily. "I—I haven't..." Lu Yun cried out in dismay "So you're really after Ye Qian, aren't you? Intentionally selling her at a low price so you can build a good relationship with her, huh? Just now I noticed you've been constantly staring at her the whole time, huh? Does her bust really match her sister's? Is it really as full and firm as her sister's...?" As she spoke, Rosalie suddenly paused, muttering to herself in frustration. "Oh for heaven's sake! Qian's bust—seems to be a bit larger than mine, and a little firmer too. I remember back then it wasn't even close to mine!" Land Yun heard Rosalie's words and was left speechless. Rosalie quickly returned, took a seat between Land Yun and Rosalie, and pulled out five stacks of one-hundred-yuan banknotes from her bag, smiling at Land Yun. "Fifteen thousand has already been credited to your account. Here's an additional five thousand in cash—please count it over." "What do you need me to count? Your Shun Tai Jewelry Store claims 'one genuine, ten replacements'—you'd rather have all five thousand be counterfeit, wouldn't you? Then you'll come back to me "Before, I said something unkind to her and casually slipped five stacks of red bills into her small crossbody bag. Lu Yun was absolutely thrilled—twenty thousand! That could buy so many things he'd always wanted, build a beautiful tiled house, marry several wives, and warm his beds with them all... "Wenwen, if you have time for lunch, I'd like to invite you and Lu Yun for a simple meal," said Ye Qian, feeling particularly pleased. This pearl was very significant to her—she had once bought a few from Yang Yanping, and now, unexpectedly, she had managed to acquire four. Her excitement was truly palpable. "No thanks," Wenwen replied bluntly. "After having you take me to the bank and lose twenty thousand, I simply don't have the energy to sit down for a meal with you. Besides, haven't you noticed how Lu Yun has been constantly looking at your daughter? If I keep dining with you, I'm afraid I'll end up losing my good brother to her. Now I've not only lost my wife, but also my own troops." Just then, when the girl Rosalie spoke, Lu Yun's gaze was indeed fixed on the two inviting pale patches revealed at Ye Qian's V-neck. Ye Qian spat at Rosalie, her cheeks flushed as she glanced at Lu Yun, secretly annoyed—this young fellow was truly spying on her! What a brother Rosalie had brought her! ...
