191: Chapter 191 Chenguang Jewelry Encounters Provocation!

Ye Xueying looked at Wang Yang.

Wang Yang nodded at her.

"Try it on."

The Shop Clerk carefully placed the necklace around Ye Xueying's neck.

The thin platinum chain rested against her fair collarbone.

The tiny heart-shaped diamond pendant rested right in the center of her collarbone, swaying gently with her breathing and shimmering with delicate light.

Wang Yang's gaze fell upon her collarbone and lingered for several seconds.

"It looks good. It suits you very well."

Ye Xueying stood before the small mirror on the counter, looking left and right, a faint smile appearing on her face.

It really did look good.

The Shop Clerk chimed in with praise from the side.

"Miss, your skin is fair, so platinum really complements it. Although this small diamond isn't large, its clarity is excellent, and it sparkles brilliantly in natural light. Look, it's already this bright under the store lights; it will look even better if you wear it out in the sunlight."

Wang Yang nodded.

"We'll take this one. Wrap it up."

Just then, a shrill voice came from nearby.

"Honey, this necklace is so pretty! I want this one!"

The two turned their heads to see a woman in her forties walking over, arm-in-arm with a man.

The woman was wearing a leopard-print fur coat and heavy makeup.

The foundation on her face was so thick it looked like a mask, and her lips were painted with fluorescent pink lipstick.

She looked like an internet celebrity whose shelf life had long since expired.

Her figure had lost its shape significantly, and her waist was as thick as a barrel.

Yet, she was squeezed into a tight-fitting hip-hugging skirt, which made the rolls of fat on her stomach bulge out in several layers.

The man beside her was dressed in designer brands, wearing a gold watch on his wrist; he had a greasy face and hair, and quite a large belly too.

The woman clicked over in her high heels and pointed her finger directly at the necklace on Ye Xueying's neck.

"This is it! I saw it in a magazine a few days ago and couldn't find it after looking for so long. Honey, I want it!"

She squinted and sized up Ye Xueying and Wang Yang.

A young girl and a young man—they were quite good-looking, but they weren't wearing any major luxury brands.

She curled her lip.

She had seen plenty of young people like this; they looked polished but didn't have much money in their pockets.

Unlike her husband, who made millions a year in business.

"How much is this necklace? We'll take it."

The Shop Clerk was stunned for a moment, looking awkwardly between Wang Yang and the woman.

"Miss, I'm sorry, but this gentleman and lady are already looking at this necklace. Also, this is a limited edition piece, and we only have one in the store."

The woman scoffed.

"So what if they're looking at it? Looking doesn't mean they can afford it. Do you know how much this costs? Young people couldn't afford it even after saving up several months of salary. Honey, don't you agree?"

Her husband nodded from the side, his gaze sweeping over Ye Xueying with a hint of hidden greed.

"Hmm. This necklace doesn't look cheap. Young people should just look; when it comes to actually buying, it's up to us."

Ye Xueying's face turned slightly pale, and she clenched the corner of her clothes.

It wasn't that she didn't have money; her pocket money was more than enough to buy this necklace.

But being spoken to like that in public still made her feel humiliated.

She instinctively leaned closer to Wang Yang.

Wang Yang wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him.

He looked down at her, a smile on his lips—a steady smile, like a mountain.

"Don't be afraid."

His voice was very low, heard only by her.

Ye Xueying's heart instantly calmed down.

Wang Yang looked up at the woman, the smile still on his lips, but his eyes had turned cold.

"My girlfriend had her eye on this necklace first."

The woman scoffed.

"Girlfriend? Little girl, you're quite pretty, so why find such a shabby boyfriend? Hesitating over buying a necklace for so long. Honey, don't you agree?"

Her husband nodded from the side.

"Young people shouldn't try to act tough if they don't have the strength. This necklace is twenty-eight thousand; are you sure you can afford it?"

Wang Yang leaned against the counter without speaking.

Just then, a mechanical voice suddenly rang in his mind.

[Ding! Detected that the host has encountered provocation from passersby, triggering a random system reward!]

[Reward Content: 100% equity in the Yuntian City Chenguang Jewelry flagship store! All relevant procedures have been completed, and the equity documents have been placed in the host's system space, ready for review and signing at any time.]

Wang Yang was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, turning from a smile into a laugh.

Chenguang Jewelry flagship store.

One of the largest jewelry stores in Yuntian City, and the very one he was standing in right now.

The system had just handed the store over to him directly.

He had just been wondering how to slap these two people in the face, and the system had given him the capital to do it.

He mentally gave the system a thumbs up.

This was truly like being handed a pillow just as he was getting sleepy.

Ye Xueying tugged at his sleeve secretly from the side.

"Brother Wang, let it go. Let's go."

That Mrs. Wang smiled even more smugly.

"If you can't afford it, then leave. It's not easy for young people to date; save your money and buy something cheaper. A jewelry store like this isn't a place you should be coming to."

Wang Yang put his phone back into his pocket, a smile slowly curling at the corners of his mouth.

He ignored the woman and turned to look at the Shop Clerk.

"Call your manager out."

The Shop Clerk was stunned for a moment, nodded, and walked quickly toward the office in the back.

That Mrs. Wang was still laughing on the side.

"Calling the manager? What's the use of calling the manager? Do you think the manager will help you when he comes? Let me tell you, my husband is friends with your manager. Manager Li has to be very polite whenever he sees my husband. You calling the manager here will only embarrass yourself."

Wang Yang ignored her.

Just as the woman was about to say more, her husband pulled her arm.

"Forget it, why bother arguing with such young people? Once the manager comes, he'll naturally be asked to leave."

A middle-aged man walked quickly out of the back office, wearing a suit and tie, his hair slicked back.

Seeing Mrs. Wang and Mr. Wang, his face piled up with smiles.

"Oh, Mrs. Wang, Mr. Wang, what wind has blown you here?"

The woman looked at Wang Yang triumphantly and pointed to the necklace on Ye Xueying's neck.

"Manager Li, I want this necklace. But this young man insists on fighting me for it. You handle it."

Manager Li looked at Wang Yang, then at Ye Xueying, his gaze sweeping over the two of them.

Young, good-looking, but indeed not wearing any major luxury brands.

He weighed the situation.

Mrs. Wang and Mr. Wang were regular customers, spending hundreds of thousands in their store annually.

These two young people were unfamiliar faces, here for the first time; it didn't matter if they were offended.

He turned around, a professional, fake smile on his face.

"Sir, I'm truly sorry. Mrs. Wang is a regular customer of our store, and since she has taken a liking to this necklace, could you please step aside? We have many other styles in the store, and I can recommend others to you."

Wang Yang leaned against the counter, not moving.

"No."

Manager Li's expression changed.

"Sir, in business, harmony brings wealth. Why not be generous and help others fulfill their wishes—"

Wang Yang interrupted him.

"I said, no. Is it the rule of your store to leave customers who are already about to pay hanging on the side just to pander to those who came later?"
