The boss was a native. He babbled a long string of words. But Chi Enen could not understand a single word he said. She took the ring and gestured to ask him the price, using the few foreign words that she knew to communicate with him.

All of a sudden, a delicate and pampered voice interrupted them. “Wow, such a good-looking ring. Honey, I want the ring in her hand! Buy it for me.”

Upon hearing someone speaking in her language, Chi Enen turned to check out the person.

She saw a man and a woman standing not far away.

The man was in his early forties. He was heavy-jowled and potbellied, he was slightly bald as well. He was interestingly ugly-looking. The woman who held him by the arms seemed very young. She had an oval face, large eyes, long black hair that reached her waist. She seemed very refreshing and pretty.

The two of them seemed to be at two extremes when they stood next to each other.

Chi Enen could not help but take a second look at them. It was nothing offensive, everyone would take a few looks at this oddly matched couple. However, she seemed to have riled up the lady. She arched her eyebrows and glared at Chi Enen, shouting at her in a nasty tone. “What’s there to look at? Is this the first time that you see a beautiful woman? What a bumpkin!”

Chi Enen was never one who would smile graciously after being given a tight slap by others. She curled her lips and retorted. “Indeed, this is the first time that I’ve seen a beauty who swears.”

She enunciated “a beauty who swears” clearly.

The lady’s demeanor changed and she glared at her, shooting daggers from her eyes. She held the arms of the man, acting the coquette. “Hubby, I want that ring in her hands.”

Chi Enen pretended not to see them. She took the ring and continued to gesture with the boss.

The lady gritted her teeth in anger. She exerted force on her grip on the man’s arms, speaking in a higher pitched voice. “Hubby!”

The man who was pestered by her had no other choice but to walk forward, pointing toward the ring that Chi Enen held in her hands and spoke to the boss.

The boss of the booth suddenly saw the light and stuck out two fingers. The man took out his money and handed two hundred yuan to the boss.

He then turned to Chi Enen. “Miss, I have bought the ring. Please pass it to me.”

Chi Enen took the ring and retreated one step, refusing to pass the ring to him. “Sorry, I am the one who picked out the ring first. I won’t give it to you.”

Seeing that Chi Enen refused to hand over the ring, the lady became unreasonable, yelling in a high pitched voice. “We have already paid for it. Are you that shameless you’ll take our stuff without returning it?”

Her voice was loud and jarring. It attracted a crowd in no time.

“What’s going on? Are they fighting?”

“They seemed to be fighting over something. This lady saw the ring first but she didn’t know the language and was unable to settle on the price with the seller. The beauty who kept scolding her wanted the ring as well. She got her husband to pay for the ring. Now she wants the lady to hand over the ring.”

“That’s taking advantage of others’ difficulties for one’s own benefit?”

Some people thought that there was nothing wrong with that. “They already paid for the ring. The ring should belong to those who paid for it.”Read more chapter on novelhall.com

Some people could tell what was going on. “The beauty who wanted to snatch the ring did not really like that ring, she just feels like taking other people’s things. Look, the silver ring is for men and her husband has a lot of rings on his fingers. How can he possibly want that ring?”

The people around them pointed at the man.

The old man felt embarrassed and he looked toward Chi Enen, walking toward her, looking upset. “Miss, what will it take for you to give us the ring?”

He looked at Chi Enen. She was quite young and she was dressed simply, there was a look of disdain in his eyes. He took out his wallet, took two one-hundred yuan notes from it and threw it in front of Chi Enen. “Is this enough?”

He was simply insulting her!

Chi Enen paled and was about to hurl the money back to him.

Just then, there was a familiar voice among the crowd. “Tsk, that was only a few hundred yuan and you dare to boast with it?”
