Chapter 589: Trickery Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter
The faint aroma and softness that touched Ye Mo’s arm made him realize he had been impolite. He patted Su Jingwen’s hand gratefully, signaling his understanding.
An Ning also realized Ye Mo wasn’t trying anything. Su Jingwen was nearby, and with so many people present, he couldn’t have done anything anyway.
Seeing this, Zhi Rang stood, but Han Dan pulled him down before he could speak. Zhang Lailin’s eyes dulled with dejection.
Ye Mo patted Su Jingwen, telling her to wait, then said to An Ning, “An Ning, I want to talk to you alone. Don’t worry, I mean you no harm.”
An Ning realized Ye Mo was distracted. He probably wasn’t interested in her. She had wanted to ask him about going to Luo Yue anyway. If he truly possessed such power, she wouldn’t mind using him to achieve her goal.
“Okay,” An Ning readily agreed.
She returned to their room.
“Han Dan, why did you stop me? That punk was rude to An Ning; I’ll teach him a les—” Han Dan quickly covered Zhi Rang’s mouth. He looked worriedly at Su Jingwen and Yuan Chongchong before pulling Zhi Rang aside.
“Young Master Rang, do you want to die? Do you know who that is?” Han Dan hissed coldly.
“Who is he? Can he kill me?” Zhi Rang sneered.
Han Dan laughed. “Qiu Zhirang, don’t blame me for this, but if you want to die, don’t drag me down. He can kill you, and even if he did, your family wouldn’t dare retaliate.”
Zhi Rang shivered. Who in China could kill him with impunity?
“That person is likely Ye Mo—the one who made your grandfather apologize personally. If you provoke him, I’ll admire your courage,” Han Dan said contemptuously.
Hearing “Ye Mo,” cold sweat broke out on Qiu Zhirang’s back. He understood. If it was Ye Mo, he could be slaughtered.
“Brother Han, thank you. Without you, I wouldn’t know how I died,” Qiu Zhirang wiped his brow. Ye Mo was the one Young Masters in Beijing couldn’t offend.
He never thought Ye Mo would be in Tan Du. He was incredibly unlucky. Luckily, he remembered his father’s advice and hadn’t acted too cockily earlier. Otherwise, he’d have already offended Ye Mo.
“No need to thank me; you saved yourself. If you’d remained as you were, you’d be lying outside now,” Han Dan was pleased Qiu Zhirang now owed him.
“Han Dan, should we leave?” Qiu Zhirang wanted to leave immediately.
Han Dan patted him. “I heard Brother Zhang Jue say Young Master Ye dislikes trouble. As long as you don’t provoke him, he won’t bother you. Leaving now might make him think you still look down on him. Stay low-key.”
Then, Han Dan whispered, “Your family’s Qiu Zhizhe tried to attack Young Master Ye’s friend, and… you understand.”
Seeing Qiu Zhirang nod, Han Dan continued, “An Ning is pretty, and Young Master Ye took her to the next room. What do you think they’re doing? He must want her, so don’t show any interest in her. And don’t even look at Jingwen.”
Han Dan was using Ye Mo’s power. Ye Mo’s wife was beautiful; he probably wouldn’t be interested in An Ning. Han Dan, however, was interested in An Ning and wanted to use Ye Mo to discourage Qiu Zhirang.
…
Ye Mo closed the door, looked at An Ning, and said, “I want the necklace. Name your price.” Ye Mo knew he sounded arrogant, but he needed that necklace.
“You!” An Ning blushed, indignant. What did this guy want? It didn’t seem like he was after her.
“Do you know how rude that is? And do you know how much this costs?” An Ning’s tone sharpened. He couldn’t be that rich driving a girl’s Toyota.
Ye Mo smiled. “I don’t know how much you want, but 10 million should cover it.”
An Ning was stunned. She hadn’t imagined Ye Mo to be that rich. Her necklace was worth 3 million, plus the fish piece, around 8 million.
“US dollars,” Ye Mo added.
“You’re that rich?!” An Ning was shocked. Even Zhirang couldn’t afford that.
Who was this person?
“You can keep the necklace. I just want the Yin Yang Fish eyes,” Ye Mo added.
An Ning stared, shocked. “How do you know it’s a Yin Yang Fish eye?”
Ye Mo was taken aback. He couldn’t say ‘spirit sense.’ He quickly said, “I saw it when you bent over.”
What? When? Was it an accident? And if he’d seen the fish eye, hadn’t he seen other things?
Seeing An Ning silent, Ye Mo said, “Fish eyes aren’t good for girls. I can give you a diamond instead. It’s prettier.”
“What?” An Ning was dazed again.
Before she could react, Ye Mo produced a diamond larger than a soybean and placed it in her hand.
An Ning stared at the enormous diamond. She’d never seen one so large.
She felt it was better than the fish eyes, but her grandfather had given her the fish eyes.
Seeing her hesitate, Ye Mo said, “They’re Yin Yang Fish eyes. Aren’t you scared wearing them at night? I’ve heard these ancient things have strange magic.”
Though she knew he was scaring her, she did feel a little afraid.
As Ye Mo was about to continue, An Ning took the diamond. “You’re not simple at all, being able to produce 10 million USD and such a large diamond…”
