Liu Ying Ying, who was originally like an iceberg, appeared extremely lively and cute in front of the youth.
Along the way, the two of them could be said to be talking and laughing, causing the bystander to be extremely envious.
After all, with such a great beauty by his side, he would definitely become the center of attention in a place with so many people.
And Ye Chen did not care much about his clothes, it seemed like a natural thing to do, but it was definitely not the style of a rich family, which made many people even more jealous.
"Ye Chen, let's go over there. I want to buy a bracelet."
After the two walked around for a while, Liu Ying Ying pointed at a shop called Jade Jewel Pavilion and said to Ye Chen who was beside her.
The youth nodded, but he didn't have any intention of refusing.
Originally, the reason he went out today was to accompany Liu Ying Ying shopping. He also wanted to try his luck and find something that he needed.
As soon as he entered the pavilion, Ye Chen could not help but frown at the noisy scene in front of him.
This was indeed a jewelry store, but the furnishings made it look more like a rock gambling shop.
On one side of the storefront, there were all sorts of different colored jades and jewelry. On the other side, there were all sorts of different shapes and sizes of ores. At a glance, there were all kinds of oddly-shaped stones.
"This batch was just imported from Maine. Look at the quality of this material, it's really good. I guarantee it will give out jade. Please don't miss it when you pass by!"
Inside the shop, the waiter shouted with all his might.
Ye Chen had been familiar with gambling before. What he could understand about this kind of thing was that it involved a lot of families. What he could not understand was the feeling of going bankrupt. What he was playing with was that kind of thrilling feeling.
"This is …"
Just as Ye Chen was about to look away, there was a faint aura of spirit power, which made the teenager happy.
Right after that, Ye Chen stared at an inconspicuous stone in the corner of the counter, as if he could tell something from it.
"What kind of stone do you like? Why don't we go and give it a try?"
Seeing that, Liu Ying Ying blinked her big, watery eyes and said to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen had been accompanying him for a long time, so he naturally had to help him look at some things as well.
"Yo, Young Master Duanmu, Master Chen, what brings you here today?" Quick, invite him in! "
As Ye Chen and Xia Xinyan were walking towards the rock gambling den, a loud noise came from the door, making the atmosphere in the hall even more lively.
The group of attendants put down their work and respectfully greeted Duanmu Lei at the entrance.
From the looks of it, the reputation of the Duanmu family here was not low at all.
Before Liu Yingying could react, Duanmu Lei and the rest first noticed their presence.
She naturally knew that the two of them were like fire and water, but it was too late for her to speak up.
"Ye Chen, I can really bump into you no matter where I go!" What? You want to bring a woman to play with the stones? "
Before Ye Chen could turn around, he heard a sarcastic sneer coming over.
Today, besides the white-haired old man whom the waiter called Elder Chen, Duanmu Lei also had a group of black-clothed bodyguards behind him.
From the looks of it, it was the appearance of a rich family's young master.
With all these support, Duanmu Lei was not afraid of Ye Chen at all!
"Only Young Master Duanmu can come here, we can't!"
Liu Ying Ying snorted coldly. She glared at Duanmu Lei and retorted.
Towards this fellow, the young girl didn't have a shred of good will towards him.
"Lady Liu, don't be fooled by this kid. He is just a delinquent little hoodlum who knows nothing at all. If you follow him blindly, you will suffer sooner or later!"
"Also, the rest of them might be afraid of your identity, but I, Duanmu Lei, will never do that. You'd better be obedient!"
Duanmu Lei mocked and warned Liu Yingying in front of him.
Their Duanmu Clan was also a powerhouse in Yan Jing. In fact, it could be said that they were the top second-rate powers.
Their jade and jewellery industries monopolized the entire Yan Jing city.
"You! Don't slander us! "
After all, Liu Yingying's aura was limited, not as domineering or as domineering as Duanmu Lei's.
The tense atmosphere attracted the attention of everyone else.
All of a sudden, Ye Chen, who was standing right next to Liu Yingying and had not said a single word, had become the center of attention.
"This kid is the hoodlum that Young Master Duanmu spoke of?" "He really does look like a hoodlum."
"Look at those clothes and shoes, are they comparable to Young Master Duanmu?"
"Ai, this person is like a flower stuck in cow dung when paired with that great beauty beside him …"
The crowd's vicious mockery and ridicule instantly drowned the two of them out.
After all, most of the people who came to this stone gambling market were from the business world, and some of the influential people in the political world. The people who were the most despised and despised by the upper class were the lowly people like Ye Chen, who only wanted to eat swan meat!
"You …"
Just as Liu Ying Ying was about to retort, her soft, boneless hand was held by another hand.
The young man's face was as dark as water, and did not change at all from the provocation and ridicule in front of him.
To Ye Chen, the cries of these flies were just the result of him casually patting them to death. There was no need to waste this time, it had even dirtied his own hands.
They had looked down on Ye Chen, but they had never expected that Ye Chen would also look down on them.
"Boss, I want that piece of stone over there."
Ye Chen pointed at an inconspicuous piece of stone in the corner, as he slowly said that, completely ignoring Duanmu Lei's sneer.
"This …"
On the other hand, the black-bearded middle-aged owner was stunned.
From Young Master Duanmu's posture, it seemed that this poor kid before him was just a little hooligan with no background. Not to mention whether he could afford to pay for the stones, if he offended the Duanmu family, it would not be a joke.
After all, a small shop like theirs could not afford to go through all this trouble.
"You also want this side character that others don't even want. It looks like, Ye Chen, the stone you chose, really fits your status!"
Seeing that Ye Chen had chosen that kind of stone, Duanmu Lei, who knew some stone-gambling techniques, became even more disdainful.
Usually, experts would choose stones with clear patterns, thin skin, and slippery skin. This kind of stone would easily yield jade, but this time, Ye Chen chose a piece of stone-like material with uneven edges. From the fact that it was abandoned, one could see the value of this stone.
"Oh? Since Young Master Duanmu is so interested, why don't we gamble again? "If you lose, from today onwards, you will see me and scram!"
