Everyone looked on dumbly at Ye Mo. Who was Edward? Who could dare question one of his men in front of him? That was asking to die!
"Whatâs the big deal with me beating her? She did something wrong, canât she be beaten then?" Ross was so angry he started laughing.
Ye Moâs tone went cold, "What did Yin Si do wrong?"
"She broke-" Ross suddenly stopped. The white jade statue was completely fine.
Ross looked at Edward and knew that their target should now be changed to Ye Mo.
Thinking about this, Ross quickly took out a 100 dollar bill and gave it to Yin Si, saying, "One slap for 100 dollars - youâre lucky."
Ye Mo took that 100 dollar bill and gave it a look, after which he took out a 100 dollar bill from his own pocket and gave it to Ross, "How could I take your money. Here, Iâll give you this 100."
Ross subconsciously took the money sneering, âI thought you were tough, but you donât even dare take my money.â
Slap slap- Two slaps landed on Rossâs face, making his mind stop for a moment. He was spinning on the spot. He really didnât get why he was being hit suddenly.
"Although I have quite a bit of money, I canât waste too much on a pig. 2 slaps for 200 it is," Ye Mo said.
But these two slaps were of a different caliber. Ross spat out a bunch of teeth and felt a burning sensation on his face. He couldnât even speak as he slumped to the ground.
Everyone was dazed. No one had expected Ye Mo to have the guts to hit someone in front of Edward, and so harshly at that.
Edwardâs face went bleak. Just when he wanted to speak, Ye Mo stopped him, "Edward, Iâm very interested in your white jade statue. I believe itâs very valuable, and Iâm wondering whether you have any more valuable antiques over at your place. Iâd gladly go back with you and buy some from you. Of course, as long as itâs valuable, the price is negotiable."
What? This young man wanted to go back to his place and buy his antiques? Edward wanted to laugh. There was still such good luck in the world, and he had encountered it? He had been troubled trying to come up with a way to bring the young man away all along.
The young man knew the jade statue was worth 10 million yet still wanted to go with him. Didnât that mean he had a lot more money? Thinking about it, Edwardâs heart was on fire.
While he was getting excited, Ye Mo sighed, "I wanted to buy some treasures from America before going back, and today I finally found someone who owns real treasures."
Then, Ye Mo took out a card and waved it in front of Ross, "I really need to thank you for giving me the opportunity to get to know Mr Edward. Otherwise, where would I go to spend all this money?"
It was as though Ye Mo had so much money that he didnât even know how to spend it.
Edwardâs bleak expression disappeared immediately. It turned into a fervent smile. He looked at Ye Mo as though he was looking at dollar bills.
"Mr Ye, you-" Annie was dazed. She really didnât get how Ye Mo could be this dumb.
He was asking to die trying to do business with Edward!
Yin Si was also worried. She didnât know Ye Mo, but even if she did and she tried to stop him from making Edward earn a fortune, her family wouldnât live to see tomorrowâs sun, and this young man would still be tricked into doing business with Edward afterwards.
Before Annie could finish, Ye Mo said, "Annie, wait for me at Back Street. Iâll come back immediately after completing this business with Edward."
Just as he was about to leave with Edward, Ye Mo seemed to have thought of something and turned back to Ross and smiled, "I almost forgot. You said that you will eat the statue if there was no marks on it and give me 1 million. But the white statue is worth so much, so of course I canât let you eat it. Although 1 million is just change to me, but itâs still my money. I will have to take it, Mr Ross."
Ross covered his mouth and wanted to go to the hospital as soon as possible, but he didnât dare to move. This youth was really asking him for 1 million? Was he crazy?
"You donât want to give it to me?" Seeing how Ross wasnât talking, Ye Mo didnât leave with Edward and walked back in front of Ross again.
Ross looked pitifully at Edward. He knew that Edward was going to do business with Ye Mo now and wasnât going to do anything to him, but 1 million was a big sum to him. His total fortune amounted to only 2 million.
"Ross, you said it, so you should give it to him." Edwardâs words made him understand that all hope was lost.
He hatefully transferred Ye Mo one million. That represented many years of his savings!
Ye Mo waved the card in his hand again, "Ross, to be honest, one million is like a drop of water in the sea in my account. Itâs your honor for me to be taking your money. Mr Edward, letâs go do business. This place is too boring."
Yin Si and Annie couldnât do anything as they watched Ye Mo and Edward leave.
"Annie, who is this person? How did you meet him?" Yin Si asked desperately.
Annie said, "I needed a couple hundred dollars, so I found him."
"What Annie?! Donât tell me you-" Yin Siâs face changed drastically. She knew her brother was in a relationship with Annie. If Annie had gone to bed with someone else, what would she do?
Annie had indeed planned on doing that. The reason why she chose to do it in the morning and with a Chinese man was because Yin Jia needed the money by tonight. She also thought that someone who was up that early wouldnât be too lustful of a person. But those who lived in the town all had a very loose lifestyle and thus wouldnât wake up early.
Ye Mo was a foreign Chinese man, and he looked clean. When she approached Ye Mo, she did indeed like the refreshing smell on him. Going to bed with someone she didnât dislike while earning the money she desperately needed - of course, that was more than Annie could have hoped for. She just hadnât expected Ye Mo to be unwilling.
Even though Annie didnât really care about it, when she saw Yin Siâs face, she immediately knew that Yin Si was disgusted by it. So she waved her hand and denied it, "No, no, I didnât go to bed with him. How could I? I was just showing him the way."
Hearing this, Yin Si finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "You were showing him the way? Our town is so small, why would he need you to show him the way?"
"I donât know. He said heâs called Ye Mo and heâs here to look for someone. That person is Chinese too, so I took him to the underground boxing ring and then to Chinese Back Street-" Annie said.
Suddenly, the man with the trolley rushed in and as he saw that Annie and Yin Si were fine, he felt relieved.
"Uncle De, thank you for today," Yin Si said.
"Sisi, youâre fine? Thatâs great. Your aunty heard what happened and wanted to come look for you too, but sheâs a bit weak and fainted," Uncle De said quickly.
"Huh, aunty fainted?" Yin Si immediately ran back to her house. Annie also followed.
