Chapter 500: We Don’t Take Handouts!
It was a full-on threat, and that did the trick. Once everyone heard that: the guys got up and didn't want to stay there any longer. They didn't want to mess with Huang Mingyue.
They left in defeat as they couldn't win against Lu Chen. Of course, a girl like that would have a boyfriend. And a handsome one at that.
"..." Lu Chen shook his head. Huang Mingyue's face turned red as she shouted, "Grandpa?!" She questioned why he would say something like that.
"What? Didn't you guys want the guys to disappear as well? This is the perfect way to get them out of your sight." Huang Muyang said with a smirk.
And he was right. Saying you have a boyfriend would make any guy think twice about asking you out.
"..." But there was a problem with this. Lu Chen sighed as he sat on the opposite side of them,
"Couldn't you have told them to back off in the beginning?"
"You think we didn't do that? Heck! They continued to follow us?!" Even before, the guys came to Huang Mingyue in droves. They were asking her out in front of him. And his face was dark.
Lu Chen shook his head. And then he asked, "Elder Huang, did you really have to text me so much?" This had to be said. Huang Muyang blasted his phone to the ends of the earth.
He couldn't take it.
Huang Mingyue was the one to apologize, "Lu Chen, I apologize for what my grandfather did." Huang Muchen and her were on the mark. Lu Chen was annoyed to the point of having to accept.
"It's fine." Lu Chen sighed as he asked, "The reason why you called me was because of this, right?" He took out the jade pendant. Huang Mingyue nodded as she looked at it.
Take it." Lu Chen didn't think about it as he slid the pendant over.
Huang Mingyue's eyes widened.
"To be honest, I really don't have a need for it. Actually, it's a hassle to hold onto it." Lu Chen said as he glanced at Huang Muyang. Huang Mingyue understood his words too.
The only one who didn't was the man himself; he continued to drink his tea.
And I got what I wanted. Lu Chen thought in his mind.
"Well-" Huang Mingyue was going to take it. If Lu Chen said so himself, then she would accept it. But,
"No way!" Huang Muyang screamed out. The two looked at him,
"How can we accept this like this! We're not taking handouts!"
"..." Your granddaughter stuck her hand to take it? Also, how is a priceless heirloom a handout?!
"Today is the day I'm going to get my revenge!" Huang Muyang said with a triumphant face.
Lu Chen gave him a strange expression. Shouldn't it be your granddaughter who said this, not you?
"Are you kidding me?!" Lu Chen sighed as he grabbed his head. And he could see Huang Mingyue making the same tired face too. But then she asked,
"To be honest, I want to have a match with you." "Huh?" Lu Chen was confused. Don't tell me you're that character?
"You beat me, grandfather. I want to see if you're that good." Huang Mingyue wanted to have a chess battle with him. Hearing that, Lu Chen sighed,
"Fine. One game. But what are you willing to wage on this?" Lu Chen smiled. It was a go-to way to get quick cash. He already sold the other jades off.
"I want to wager half of my tiger necklace."
