Xia Liang was still complaining, but Qin Shiya didn't know how to begin.
She was the heiress of Qinhang Group, an enterprise valued at 50,000 Yuan. As such, she considered herself a wealthy person and had mingled with top-tier, second-generation heirs before, but she had never seen anyone more capricious than Xia Liang. For a sum of 3,210 Yuan, one would just assume he was buying a model airplane and leave it at that. It's how the scions of great families behave, spending money like water, ignorant of real prices, just forcing the purchase through. But you *knew* the plane was worth 3,210 Yuan! Couldn't you have at least gone aboard to check it out? To take even one look inside?
For a moment, Qin Shiya felt a million things stuck in her throat, but she couldn't voice any of them.
Fortunately, it wasn't long before a woman with fluffy, big wave curls, dressed in a slim-fit casual suit, came trotting over.
"Qin Jie, here's the contract you wanted."
"Hmm."
Qin Shiya simply nodded faintly, taking the contract from the woman's hand. When she turned back to Xia Liang, her face was already adorned with a sweet smile.
"Mister Xia, if you find no issue with this, please sign your name here, and this Boeing 747 will be yours."
Clearly, Qin Shiya's demeanor surprised Big Wave. Even a tycoon who could afford a Boeing 747 doesn't warrant this kind of treatment. This is practically fawning! And you're the heiress of Qinhang Group, a company with a market value of a solid 50,000 Yuan! she complained to herself while sizing up Xia Liang. So this is the big shot who spent 3,210 Yuan on a Boeing 747? His entire outfit is worth less than a single Zhen, all cheap goods from a street stall. He looks so young… the only praiseworthy thing about him is his face.
"Is this what they mean by 'appearances can be deceiving'?" Big Wave murmured to herself.
Glancing at the contract Qin Shiya handed him, Xia quickly scanned it and then wrote his name.
I've already bought it, so what can I do? Return it? Just the thought of how troublesome that would be is enough.
He handed the contract back to Big Wave. Qin Shiya also smiled.
"Congratulations, Mister Xia. This Boeing 747 officially belongs to you."
Hearing Qin Shiya's words, Yang Ying, who had been in a daze, finally snapped back to reality.
"Impossible! Liar! Xia Liang! You liar! This must be part of your plan, right? You're trying to make me regret it, aren't you! Qin Fen! This woman isn't really your company's general manager, is she? You just misspoke, right?"
Like a madwoman, Yang Ying seized the middle-aged man's collar, shaking him nonstop. Clearly, she couldn't accept any of this. Just a moment ago, Xia Liang was a penniless nobody. Why, right after she left him, did he suddenly transform and buy an airplane?
A whole 3,000 Yuan! That was enough for him to live a carefree life forever. And judging by Xia Liang's nonchalant demeanor, he must have even more money. He could drive luxury cars, live in a mansion, and buy all sorts of luxury goods. That kind of life had completely slipped through her fingers, and she simply couldn't accept it.
Yang Ying's actions immediately drew everyone's attention.
Qin Fen's face turned ashen. He had been hoping that Xia Liang had forgotten about him, but Yang Ying's outburst had put him right back in the spotlight. Xia Liang found it hard not to notice him and couldn't help but hiss, "You crazy woman! Let go! Stop making a scene!"
Seeing that Yang Ying was still acting frantic, Qin Fen slapped her hard across the face.
SLAP!
The sound was incredibly loud, leaving a bright red handprint on Yang Ying's face.
"You… you hit me?"
Coming to her senses, Yang Ying looked at Qin Fen in disbelief. She couldn't imagine that the very man who had promised to protect her forever just this morning would actually slap her.
However, Qin Fen was in no mood to indulge her. He shot Yang Ying a fierce glare. "Shut up! Say another word and I'll make you regret it."
Then, rubbing his hands together, he looked at the others with an embarrassed expression. "Ahem, my apologies for this embarrassing display. She just went crazy, and I was afraid she might hurt one of you. Let's just have them thrown out."
Having said that, he yelled into the distance.
"Security!"
Hearing this, Xia Liang crossed his arms, his thoughts unreadable. Qin Shiya, however, glanced from Yang Ying on the ground to Qin Fen, keenly sensing there was more to this than met the eye.
As security guards started jogging over, Yang Wei panicked. I finally made it into the airline's airport I've always dreamed of. Just a few moments ago, I was soaring through the sky in a helicopter, and now I'm about to get thrown out? No! It can't end like this! That's right!
Yang Wei's thoughts suddenly turned to Xia Liang. He's so rich he bought a Boeing 747! Surely he can keep us from getting kicked out, right? I just have to beg him! Not only could we stay, but we might even get to see the cockpit of the Boeing 747. Maybe if I get them back together, I could even get the airplane as part of my sister's dowry!
At this thought, Yang Wei's heart surged with excitement, and he hurried over to Xia Liang, his face full of expectation.
"Brother Xia! They're about to throw me and my sister out! Please, help me beg for them to stop!"
As he spoke, he grabbed and shook Xia Liang's arm. The force of the movement pulled Xia Liang's hand from his pocket, and along with it, four coins.
CLATTER!
As the four coins fell to the ground, everyone's gaze was drawn to them.
Those were…
Those were four one-Yuan Jade Coins!
Qin Shiya was naturally the first to notice. She had lost count of how many times she had been shocked today.
Qin Shiya completely lost her composure. Four one-Yuan coins, just casually kept in his pocket. Isn't he afraid of losing them? What if a thief stole them? Just what kind of person is he?
Then Big Wave and Qin Fen also understood. If we had any doubts before, these four coins are the ultimate proof. A man who casually carries four Yuan in his pocket! The thought alone is terrifying. He really is the tycoon who could buy a Boeing 747.
While they'd never eaten pork, the Yang siblings had certainly seen a pig run. The coins on TV all looked just like these.
At once, Yang Wei's eyes grew even more feverish. Buying the Boeing 747 for 3,210 Yuan was just a string of numbers he hadn't seen, but the coins on the ground before him were a tangible four Yuan. This was the equivalent of a whole one-point bill from Qin Fen.
Looking at the boy in front of him, Xia Liang felt a wave of amusement.
"And why should I?"
His tone was frigid, but Yang Wei didn't care at all.
"Don't you like my sister? I'll get her to make up with you, don't worry! This time I definitely won't let her leave you! Sis!"
As he spoke, Yang Wei forgot all about the coins on the ground and started winking frantically at Yang Ying.
"Oh, oh, right!"
Yang Ying finally snapped out of it. She tidied her hair, jogged over to Xia Liang, and reached for his hand, her voice taking on a coquettish tone.
"Liang, darling! Let's get back together! I know I was wrong, but you do love me, right? I promise I won't ever leave you on a whim again."
