Hmm?
Wu An narrowed his eyes and turned to look!
A woman was walking over, arm hooked around a middle-aged man's!
At that moment, she was staring at Wu An with a mocking expression!
"What's wrong? Nothing to say now?"
"Weren't you quite the talker just now?"
"Too scared to speak now?"
The woman was in her thirties, heavily made up, and carried herself like a shrew!
Especially now, with blatant contempt written all over her face!
She clearly looked down on Wu An!
"Who are you?!"
"My brother was talking to me, not you!"
Nini said in her childish voice!
Even someone as innocent as her could tell that this woman was deliberately picking a fight!
"Besides, I believe my brother!"
"If he says he can buy this jewelry store, then he definitely can!"
Nini glared at the woman indignantly!
As the two spoke!
The people nearby also noticed the commotion!
After all, a jewelry store was a public place and usually had plenty of customers!
Especially Ye Jewelry!
It was the leading jewelry store in all of Eastsea City!
At that moment, everyone was whispering among themselves!
"Isn't that Boss Chen? Why is he here?"
"Hehe, obviously Boss Chen is trying to please his mistress. Why else would he come to a jewelry store?"
"This young man is in trouble!"
"But this little brother is seriously handsome!"
"Tch, what's the use of being handsome? He offended Boss Chen. Do you think he'll get off easy?"
"That's true. What a shame!"
Everyone was talking at once!
Their gazes toward Wu An were filled with sympathy!
After all, with Boss Chen's methods, dealing with a young man like Wu An would be effortless!
If Wu An did not know better, the consequences would be dire!
"When adults are talking, why is a child like you butting in?"
The woman who had started the argument glared at Nini!
Then,
she turned to the middle-aged man beside her and whined coquettishly:
"Hubby, look! Even a little kid is bullying me now?!"
"You have to stand up for me!"
Her affected manner was nauseating!
Wu An frowned!
He had not expected to run into someone so cluelessly suicidal on one of his rare outings!
"Ma'am, you were clearly the one who started it!"
At that moment, Xu Qing could not help speaking up!
To her, Nini was like a little sister!
"I was educating you!"
"If you go around talking nonsense outside and something really happens, what will you do?"
"So I'm doing this for your own good, understand?"
The woman was being utterly unreasonable!
At the same time, her eyes filled with intense jealousy as she looked at Xu Qing!
Xu Qing had been wearing a women's hat that concealed most of her face!
So the woman had not noticed her before!
But the moment Xu Qing spoke, she noticed her!
Although Xu Qing was still wearing her hat!
The slender chin and red lips she revealed were enough to show that she was an astonishing beauty!
The woman became jealous on the spot!
She was past her prime and could not stand seeing women prettier than herself!
Especially Xu Qing!
It was no longer simply a matter of Xu Qing being prettier!
They were not even on the same level!
Like a top celebrity compared to a shrew on the street!
"When you go out, you deliberately wear a hat to hide most of your face!"
"Is it because there's something wrong with your face?"
"Are you usually too afraid to show your real face?"
The woman's words were venomous,
and she pressed her attack relentlessly! Xu Qing trembled with anger as soon as she heard that!
"Why aren't you talking now?"
"Did I hit a sore spot?"
The woman continued to shout arrogantly!
However!
Wu An suddenly raised his head and swept the woman with an icy gaze!
The next moment, the woman's words abruptly stopped!
She looked at Wu An in terror!
Just then, she had clearly felt that Wu An's gaze was filled with killing intent!
It was real killing intent!
The woman had once been fortunate enough to see a prisoner awaiting execution in prison!
That prisoner had dozens of lives on his hands!
He could be said to have killed countless people!
Yet compared to Wu An's gaze just now, the prisoner's aura had been as weak as a baby's!
How many people had he killed?!
The woman's legs immediately went weak!
Just then!
Boss Chen beside her spoke!
"You little brats, apologize now!"
"Otherwise, it'll be too late later!"
Boss Chen waved a hand and spoke arrogantly!
He was a developer for several residential complexes, with assets worth tens of millions!
When facing a few city officials, he naturally acted like an obedient grandson!
But when he saw young people like Wu An, he naturally had plenty of confidence!
"As expected of Boss Chen, so Haki!"
"That's right. His mistress was clearly the one who provoked them first, but without even asking, he wants these two young people to apologize!"
"Well, he is Boss Chen!"
"Hehe, in this society, the rich are kings!"
Everyone murmured quietly!
"That's right, hurry up and apologize!"
"A poor brat like you wants to buy a jewelry store?"
"Keep dreaming!"
With Boss Chen backing her up, the woman became arrogant again!
Although Wu An's gaze had frightened her so badly that her legs went weak!
Thinking back on it now, it had definitely been an illusion!
Wu An did not even look twenty!
He might still be in high school!
At that age, let alone killing someone!
He might not even have killed a chicken!
It had definitely been an illusion just now!
Yes!
It had to be an illusion!
The woman desperately encouraged herself!
"Wu An, how about we apologize first?"
"It's better to avoid trouble when possible!"
Xu Qing whispered!
She also felt that something was wrong!
This woman and the man beside her clearly had some influence!
This was not the time to keep confronting them head-on!
Nini also hid behind Wu An, clutching the corner of his clothes tightly!
"Apologize?"
Wu An curled his lips into a mocking smile!
In the past, he might truly have chosen that option!
The Wu Family had fallen, and as the eldest young master of the Wu Family, simply surviving had already been difficult!
He had no right to make trouble everywhere!
But now...
"You think I can't afford this jewelry store?"
Wu An's expression was blank!
This time, he was truly angry!
"Keep pretending, then!"
"I'd like to see how long you can keep it up!"
The woman's face was full of mockery!
Xu Qing was immediately stunned when she heard that!
Why was Wu An talking about this again?
Xu Qing did not understand!
Even she thought Wu An had definitely been joking when he said that earlier!
Buy this jewelry store?
How much would that cost?
Tens of millions?
Hundreds of millions?
"Alright, alright, kid. I won't make things difficult for you!"
Boss Chen looked impatient!
"Since you like playing games, I'll play along to the end!"
"I won't ask you to buy this store. You can't afford it anyway!"
"How about this? As long as you have something on you more valuable than this of mine, I'll admit defeat!"
As Boss Chen spoke, he took out a gift box. When he opened it, it revealed a set of dark green jade bracelets!
"As long as you have one!"
"And can take it out!"
"Not only will you not need to apologize!"
"I, Chen Wu, will apologize to you and admit my mistake!"
Boss Chen wore an arrogant expression, utterly confident!
Yet,
under everyone's incredulous gazes,
Wu An casually replied!
"Fine!"
