The boss had just closed a big deal and was feeling happy, but the sight of the bracelet in Lin Chen's hand left him sorely disappointed.

He had bought the bracelet for twenty yuan from the countryside; it was essentially worthless.

"A thousand yuan," the boss said offhandedly.

"Boss, do you take me for a fool like that idiot, selling such a shoddy bracelet for a thousand? I'd say two hundred at most," Lin Chen said lightly.

"Two hundred!" The people around were stunned.

Zhou Bin had just given a gift worth a hundred thousand yuan, and here you were complaining about a thousand yuan, not to mention you haggled it down from a thousand to two hundred in one breath, which seemed utterly insincere.

After thinking for a moment, the boss said, "Fine, I'm in a good mood today, I'll sell it to you at cost."

What! From a thousand down to two hundred, and the boss actually agreed.

Zhou Bin's face turned sour, wondering how much money this guy had made off him given such a huge markup.

Humph, a two hundred yuan bracelet versus one worth a hundred thousand, they are worlds apart in value, Zhou Bin smirked inwardly, confident that An Xiaodi would definitely prefer his.

However, what happened next completely shocked Zhou Bin.

"I really like this bracelet, Lin Chen, put it on for me," An Xiaodi said happily, extending her wrist.

Lin Chen smiled and placed the tarnished bracelet on An Xiaodi's wrist.

"Thank you, Lin Chen," An Xiaodi said with a face full of happiness and satisfaction.

"An Xiaodi, how can you wear something so low-quality," Zhou Bin said coldly.

"It's just utterly insincere, sending out a two hundred yuan bracelet as a gift."

"A pauper is a pauper, hitting on girls without money is simply shameless."

Zhou Bin's lackeys also mocked Lin Chen coldly from the side.

Truthfully, when An Xiaodi saw that Lin Chen had only bought a two hundred yuan bracelet, she did feel a little disappointed, but since it was a gift from Lin Chen, she liked it.

There's no reason in love; anything from him, no matter how cheap, is precious to her, whereas the things Zhou Bin gives her, even worth a hundred thousand, are worthless in her eyes.

"Humph, though the gift Lin Chen gave me isn't expensive, as long as it's from him, I like it," An Xiaodi said, touching the cold bracelet on her wrist.

"Who says the bracelet I bought isn't worth much? It's actually worth several hundred thousand!" Lin Chen chimed in.

"Several hundred thousand!" Zhou Bin and his lackeys couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Kid, are you out of your mind? Claiming it's worth several hundred thousand when you paid two hundred, are you dreaming?"

"Pretending a two hundred yuan bracelet is worth several hundred thousand, dude, are you a comedian?"

"I think this guy has totally lost it to poverty!"

The group exchanged words, freely humiliating Lin Chen.

Even the boss was shaking his head; a twenty yuan item claimed to be worth several hundred thousand was unbelievable, not only to others but even to himself.

Lin Chen gave a faint smile, "Do you dare to bet that my bracelet is worth more than a hundred thousand, and yours is worth at most two hundred?"

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, the boss's complexion changed drastically, and he seemed somewhat panicked.

"Nonsense, the bracelet that gentleman just bought has a certificate of authenticity; it's definitely genuine. I was already selling at a loss at a hundred thousand. As for your bracelet, young man, I'll tell you the truth, I bought it for twenty yuan, it's really not worth anything," the boss said coldly.

Hearing the boss's words, Zhou Bin grew even more smug, "Hear that, fool? Yours is only worth twenty, and yet you had the cheek to give it to An Xiaodi."

Lin Chen offered a faint smile, "How about this? If you're not convinced, we can go to the appraisal center to get it checked out and see who is the fool."

"Fine, let's go." Zhou Bin snorted coldly, clutching the bracelet as he walked toward the appraisal center with Lin Chen.

Seeing the group leave, the stall owner wiped the sweat from his face, hurriedly packed up his stand, and scurried away.

At the appraisal center, Zhou Bin took out his bracelet and handed it to a staff member.

"This is a ruby bracelet I've just bought. Please help me appraise it."

Meanwhile, An Xiaodi was somewhat hesitant, "Lin Chen, let's just forget it, shall we?"

She looked at the bracelet in her hand, which no matter how one looked at it, seemed like something from a street stall, not something that could possibly be worth hundreds of thousands.

Lin Chen smiled, grasped her wrist, and removed the bracelet, "Don't worry, we need to let them appraise it to find out who's the fool."

Handing the bracelet to the staff member, Lin Chen smiled, "Could you appraise this bracelet for me as well?"

The staff member glanced at the bracelet in Lin Chen's hand and frowned, "Sir, our appraisal fee is two hundred yuan. Are you sure your bracelet is worth appraising?"

Damn, I'm actually being looked down upon.

Lin Chen nodded in frustration, "Of course it's worth appraising, please go ahead."

The staff member nodded and took away both bracelets.

"See? They didn't even want to appraise your piece of junk," Zhou Bin snorted coldly.

"Who's junk is still up in the air," Lin Chen said with a calm and composed face.

"Buddy, I advise you to stay away from Xiaodi. I'm from the Zhou family. Do you know the Zhou family? They're not something a loser like you can afford to mess with," Zhou Bin said with a smug look.

"Again with the Zhou family. Could it be that your Family Head is a pig, giving birth to so many foolish descendants?" Lin Chen remarked with a light smile.

"What did you say?" Zhou Bin's face darkened. Had it not been for the presence of security, he would have had his lackeys strike long ago.

The others looked at Lin Chen as though he were an idiot. To dare insult the Zhou family, this guy was seeking death.

Zhou Bin's eyes narrowed slightly, his lips curling into a cold sneer, "Kid, dare to make a bet? Once the appraisal results come out, whoever's bracelet is more valuable gets to slap the other. A difference of ten thousand means one slap."

All eyes were on Lin Chen, though most people were certain he wouldn't dare take the bet.

"Betting a bracelet that costs twenty yuan against one that costs a hundred thousand? Zhou, aren't you bullying people?"

"Right, this poor guy can only shoot his mouth off. Who knows, he might just be a kept man that Miss An is supporting!"

"Yeah, looking at his tender skin, he fits the bill for a kept man perfectly."

Bursts of laughter rang out from the surroundings, and Zhou Bin also wore a look of triumph.

"Ten thousand a slap? Alright!" Lin Chen said flatly.

The laughter stopped abruptly, as no one expected Lin Chen to agree to the bet without a moment's hesitation.

Zhou Bin chuckled coldly, "You've got guts, kid. Let's see how I turn you into a pig's head later."

"Is that so? Who'll slap whom is still undecided! By the way, my favorite thing to do is slapping people from the Zhou family," Lin Chen responded with an easy smile.

Zhou Bin huffed and began flexing his wrist at the side, resolve set in his heart to slap this detestable poor kid as hard as he could.

An Xiaodi tugged at Lin Chen's side, "How could you make a bet with him? How could your street stall trash be as valuable as his?"

Lin Chen replied with a light smile, "Who says street stall goods aren't valuable? You'll soon see how much the gift I gave you is worth."
