Chapter 13: Preparing a Surprise

As Xiao Churan exited the Xiao Group, she felt an overwhelming excitement in her heart.

Tomorrow, Grandma would officially announce her new appointment, and she could finally hold her head high!

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but say to Ye Chen, “Thank you, Ye Chen! If it weren’t for your encouragement, I wouldn’t have dared to take on this task.”

Ye Chen smiled and replied, “Wife, this is all you deserve.”

Then he added, “By the way, dear, such a big happy event, shouldn’t we celebrate it?”

Xiao Churan nodded, “How do you want to celebrate?”

Ye Chen grinned, “It’s also almost our third wedding anniversary, so why not celebrate them together? I’ll take care of the arrangements, you don’t need to worry about it.”

Xiao Churan asked in surprise, “Are you planning to give me a surprise?”

“Exactly!” Ye Chen nodded, smiling, “I’m preparing a surprise for you!”

Xiao Churan felt a sweetness in her heart and said, “Then I won’t ask what it is!”

Ye Chen said, “No need to ask, just wait for it!”

To prepare a special wedding anniversary for his wife, Ye Chen thought of many plans in his mind.

Overall, it was mainly about making up for the past. After all, he had been poor before and couldn’t afford to buy gifts for his wife, not even giving her a proper wedding. Now that he had money, he definitely wanted to make it up to her.

After parting with his wife, Ye Chen went alone to a jewelry store in the center of Jinling City called Cui Ge Xuan.

Cui Ge Xuan was the most famous jewelry store in the area.

Gold, platinum, diamonds, jade, and emeralds—everything one could imagine was available.

Ye Chen wanted to buy a gift for his wife first, and then go to the best hotel to book a belated wedding.

Upon arriving at Cui Ge Xuan, the salespeople, seeing him in a four-stripe Adidas outfit, couldn’t be bothered to pay him any attention.

Ye Chen browsed for a while and spotted a jade necklace locked in a display case.

This necklace was made of the highest quality ice jade, exquisite and elegant, perfectly matching Xiao Churan’s temperament.

Ye Chen glanced at the price tag—13 million. To him, it was a small matter.

So he called over a salesperson and said, “Hello, could you please take this necklace out for me to have a look?”

The salesperson glanced at Ye Chen and said, “I don’t have the key; it’s with our manager.”

Saying this, he used the intercom to call out, “Manager Wang, someone wants to see our store’s treasure!”

Soon, a flamboyantly dressed woman hurried over excitedly. Her name was Wang Yan, and she was the sales manager here.

“Which esteemed guest wants to see our store’s treasure?”

The salesperson pointed at Ye Chen and said, “Manager Wang, it’s this gentleman.”

“What?” Wang Yan looked at Ye Chen and immediately felt disgusted, as if she had swallowed a fly.

How could someone like this loser possibly afford the store’s treasure?

Thinking this, she immediately said to the male salesperson, “Xiao Liu, are you kidding me?”

The other replied, “No, this gentleman really wants to see the store’s treasure.”

Wang Yan scolded, “Can a loser like this afford the store’s treasure? Are you blind? If you’re blind, just say so and get lost before you make me angry!”

Wang Yan prided herself on her ability to judge people.

She could tell at a glance what kind of person someone was and their purchasing power.

Thus, she immediately concluded that Ye Chen was just a broke loser.

Forget about the 13 million treasure; even a regular necklace costing 1,300 yuan, he definitely couldn’t afford!

Wasn’t this just wasting her time?

The male salesperson, scolded into silence, Ye Chen frowned and asked her, “Aren’t you open for business? What’s the problem with me wanting to see this necklace?”

Wang Yan sneered, “We are open for business, but we don’t do business with fools. If you can’t afford it, don’t come here to make a scene!”

Ye Chen frowned and said, “Which of your eyes sees that I can’t afford it?”

“Heh!”

Wang Yan said disdainfully, “This piece of jade is worth over ten million. What do you have to buy it? I know, you just want me to take it out so you can take a picture and show off on social media, right?”

As she spoke, Wang Yan crossed her arms over her chest, looking arrogant and full of contempt.

Hearing that the jade was worth tens of millions, many people around began to point and sneer, saying, “People like this really have no shame, can’t afford it yet still want to see it, what for?”

“Exactly, showing off without knowing their own status. With that outfit, how could they be worthy of such a premium jade?”

“I’m telling you, there are too many fools like this nowadays!”

Ye Chen glanced at Wang Yan behind the counter, seeing her sneering at him with disdain, he had already made up his mind to teach this arrogant person a lesson!

So, Ye Chen took out his phone and dialed Tang Sihai’s number.

“Come to Cui Ge Xuan and prepare 13 million in cash for me. I want to see it in ten minutes.”

“Got it, young master, I’ll be right there.”

Wang Yan smirked, saying, “This stupid fool is really getting into character! 13 million in cash? I’ve never seen that much cash in my life; I hope you can show me! You don’t know that cash over a million needs to be booked with the bank in advance, right? Hahaha, you’re really funny!”

Ye Chen nodded and said, “Since you’ve never seen that much cash, you will see it soon.”

People around began to chatter.

“Poverty isn’t the problem; the problem is pretending to be rich…”

“Haha, this person clearly doesn’t look like a wealthy individual. Even if he could take out 300,000, I’d call him dad!”

“I just want to see what 13 million in cash looks like!”

Hearing everyone siding with her, Wang Yan couldn’t help but smile, thinking about how she would enjoy watching that poor guy’s embarrassment when he couldn’t show the cash.

A few minutes later, at the entrance of Cui Ge Xuan, several Rolls Royces suddenly pulled up.

Then, from the first two Rolls Royces, eight bodyguards dressed in black suits stepped out.

They carried black leather briefcases, their muscles tense, faces stern, exuding a chilling aura that made the atmosphere around them feel heavy.

This scene instantly shocked everyone inside Cui Ge Xuan!

Who were these big shots, to have such an impressive entrance?
