51: Chapter 51 My Ex-Girlfriend and Her Best Friend!

"Holy crap!"

Shen Wang jolted, sitting up abruptly, his sleepiness instantly scared away by half.

Taking a closer look, the people who had come were none other than his ex-girlfriend, Lin Weiwei, and her best friend, Su Qing.

Lin Weiwei was going for a sweet and cute look today, wearing a light pink dress with a hemline just above her knees.

On her feet were a pair of white canvas shoes, her face was lightly made up with exquisite makeup, and her long, slightly wavy hair was draped over her shoulders.

Her looks and figure were about a six or seven out of ten; she was the petite and cute type.

But right now, those almond eyes, which should have been smiling, were filled with undisguised disdain and contempt.

As for Su Qing, who was beside Lin Weiwei, she was a completely different style.

A tight, black off-the-shoulder T-shirt outlined her ample bust, and she wore tight denim shorts on her lower body, revealing a pair of straight, long legs.

Su Qing's looks were a bit higher than Lin Weiwei's, probably around a seven or eight out of ten.

Right now, Su Qing was standing with her arms crossed, eyeing Shen Wang and his slightly messy rental apartment with the look one might use to inspect garbage.

"Wait, why did you guys come here?" Shen Wang was still a bit confused.

Lin Weiwei sneered and raised her chin: "Shen Wang, what are you playing dumb for? Didn't I tell you last week that I'd come by this Sunday to take the rest of my things?"

She glanced at Shen Wang with disgust: "Stop acting like you have amnesia or playing the victim here! It's only been a few days since we broke up, and you've already become this sloppy? You look like a loser!"

The more she spoke, the more she felt she had made the right decision to break up: "Let me tell you, the more you act like this, half-dead and moping, the less I think of you!"

"Look at the state you're in now. Even if you knelt down and begged me, I would never get back together with you! Keep dreaming!"

Shen Wang was berated by her, and subconsciously, he looked down at himself.

He had spent four days and three nights over there, and after coming back, he'd been too excited to sleep well, so he hadn't changed his clothes, washed his face, or combed his messy hair; he did look a bit disheveled.

But he really hadn't intended to play the victim to gain sympathy; he simply hadn't had time to clean up.

At this moment, Su Qing, who was on the side, also spoke up with a sarcastic tone: "Weiwei, what's the point of talking to this kind of man? I told you long ago that being poor and being dismissive are two different things."

"A man who can't even take care of himself, what can he give you for a future? What kind of security can he provide?"

"After breaking up, he starts wallowing in self-pity, trying to use such low-class tactics for emotional blackmail. Tsk, tsk, tsk, how pathetic!"

She slanted her eyes at Shen Wang and continued her tirade: "Men these days, the overall quality has really dropped!"

"Look at you, you can't even provide a decent home for a woman, yet you still have the nerve to date?"

"Our Weiwei leaving you was the most correct choice!"

Shen Wang had been a bit dazed from just waking up, but after being nagged by these two women, his anger began to rise.

Waking up only to be cornered in his room and scolded—no one would have a good temper after that.

But in the end, he couldn't bring himself to get physical with women.

"Are you done? If you're done, hurry up and pack your things, take them, and get out!"

Lin Weiwei was choked up by his cold attitude, stomped her feet in anger, and pulled Su Qing along to angrily start packing things up.

Shen Wang ignored them, walked straight into the bathroom, and prepared to freshen up to wash away the bad luck of the day.

When he had finished a quick shower, brushed his teeth, and walked out while drying his wet hair with a towel, Lin Weiwei and Su Qing, who were packing, subconsciously looked up at him.

"Huh?" Both of them were stunned for a moment.

For some reason, they both felt that the Shen Wang in front of them seemed a bit different.

They couldn't quite put their finger on it; his facial features were the same, but his overall energy and spirit seemed to have improved significantly.

His complexion seemed ruddier, his eyes were clearer and sharper than before, and the "corporate slave" aura had dissipated quite a bit.

"And even... he seemed to have become slightly more handsome?"

But upon closer inspection, it seemed nothing had changed; his features were still the same.

In reality, this was the subtle change brought about by that slight increase in "constitution," which had optimized Shen Wang's overall state.

Just as the two women were dazed and muttering to themselves, the door was knocked on with a "thump, thump, thump."

Shen Wang frowned and walked over to open the door.

Standing outside the door were none other than Xin Quan and his assistant.

"Big Brother! Good morning! Did I disturb your rest?" Xin Quan was all smiles, his tone respectful.

They had agreed to the transaction today in their private messages yesterday, and Xin Quan had rushed over from Zhejiang Province overnight.

"It's fine, please come in." Shen Wang turned sideways to let them enter.

As soon as Xin Quan entered, his eyes were immediately drawn to the two beautiful women packing things in the room—one sweet and cute, the other sexy and hot.

Xin Quan was stunned for a moment, then an expression of admiration appeared on his face, and he secretly gave Shen Wang a thumbs up.

As expected of Big Brother!

Before coming, when he saw the ordinary and somewhat old residential complex where Shen Wang lived, he had some doubts in his heart.

But now, he completely "understood"!

Look at that! This is what you call low-key! This is what you call a high state of mind!

Living in an ordinary apartment, yet hiding treasures used by the Emperor inside!

And having two beauties of different styles and good looks by his side, who were currently helping him tidy up the house!

And the relationship between these two beauties looked particularly harmonious, just like sisters!

Xin Quan's face immediately filled with enthusiasm, and with a "men understand" expression, he whispered to Shen Wang:

"Big Brother! We... didn't disturb anything, did we?"

Shen Wang hadn't expected Xin Quan to imagine so much in an instant; he just said indifferently: "No, let's talk about our business."

"Right, right, right, okay, okay."

Seeing that Shen Wang's expression was normal and he didn't seem to mind the presence of his two "female confidantes," Xin Quan's admiration for this "Big Brother" grew like a surging river.

He quickly signaled to his assistant to set up the equipment they had brought, reined in his gossipy thoughts, and refocused his attention on the matter at hand.

"Big Brother, shall we... take another look at that treasure?"

Xin Quan rubbed his hands, his tone full of anticipation and final caution.

Shen Wang nodded and took out that purple sandalwood sword case again, placing it carefully on the table.

This time, Xin Quan looked at it even more carefully than he had in the livestream.

He put on white gloves, took out a professional high-intensity flashlight and a magnifying glass, and almost laid flat on the table, examining the wood grain and the details of the carving inch by inch.

Especially the inscription "Made by the Imperial Household Department during the reign of the Emperor," which he observed repeatedly for a long time.

Although Lin Weiwei and Su Qing were still pretending to pack things, their movements had obviously slowed down, their ears were pricked up high, and their eyes were glancing over this way from time to time.

What's going on? You look so impressive!

Once women get curious, they simply can't help themselves.

After a long while, Xin Quan finally straightened up and let out a long sigh of relief.

This thing is flawless!

Except for the lid, it is exactly the same as the one in the Forbidden City.

"Big Brother, then it's a deal, 5 million..."
