Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Aren’t You Being a Bit Too Calculating?

Watching the clerk carefully retrieve the jewelry box from the showcase and place it on a black velvet tray for her to look over,

Ye Li kept her gaze fixed on "Green Waist," prompting Chen Qiyue to ask, "Ms. Ye, do you really like Green Waist?"

Beautiful things, who wouldn’t like them?

Ye Li nodded frankly, "I like it, but..." I don’t like it to the point of must-have.

"If Ms. Ye likes it, I’m willing to give it to you."

Chen Qiyue cut off Ye Li’s words, "I heard you have L’s Silver Frost. If Ms. Ye is willing, I’d like to trade Green Waist for it, how about that?"

Ye Li was taken aback.

Silver Frost was a limited edition clutch by L.

The bag was made of silver-white crocodile leather, the edges studded with 1900 diamonds, reportedly totalling 50 carats.

Whether it was the style of the clutch or the extremely high reputation of the master, Daniel, who made it by hand, Silver Frost had gained international renown before it had even been launched.

Ironically, only L’s most esteemed VIPs were eligible to order this particular clutch.

Just one was available in the country and, after changing hands several times, it landed with Ye Li, who was the young heiress of the Ye Family at that time.

When the Ye Family went bankrupt, Ye Li listed the Silver Frost both on her social media circle and in a private shop; overnight, it was bought for 3 million yuan.

When Chen Qiyue found out, that bag, which she had thought was already secured for her collection, was bought out at a higher price and sent back to the Ye Mansion.

Not only that, the Ye Mansion, cars, including the jewelry, accessories, and bags Ye Li had sold... they all were said to have been bought back.

As a result, during this time, there were rumours in the circle that Ye Li had gotten involved with a mysterious tycoon.

Chen Qiyue had been wanting to contact Ye Li to get her to give up Silver Frost, but the two had no connection.

Unexpectedly, they met today at Forever.

"Silver Frost was sold for 3 million by you; this set of Green Waist is 3.5 million. I won’t ask you for the extra 500 thousand, let’s just call it making a new friend, how about that?"

Chen Qiyue asked.

Ye Li blinked and smiled, "Ms. Chen, aren’t you being a bit too shrewd?"

Chen Qiyue’s expression froze, and the smile in her eyes immediately faded.

Ye Li spoke softly, "I don’t blame you for not knowing the true value, after all, there are only a handful of Silver Frosts in the world. Not many people have even heard of it, let alone seen it. But do you know the current price of Silver Frost?"

"Starting at 8 million."

Before Chen Qiyue could speak, Ye Li answered her own question, "I sold it for 3 million back then because I was desperate for money. But now, I have no intention of selling it! Sorry..."

Having said that, Ye Li turned to walk to another area.

Behind her came the sound of Chen Qiyue’s cold laughter, "Ye Li, you don’t really think that just because you’ve got a big-shot backing you up, you can do whatever you want, without fear, do you?"

The Ye Family couldn’t even keep all its wealth safe, so you just sold off bags worth millions and houses worth tens of millions.

Some man, taken with your face, enamored with your beautiful body, spoils you now and brought back what you lost.

But who’s to say he won’t tire of you one day and discard you just as quickly?

Do you really think that just because it’s been returned, it’s yours?

Isn’t the money in your own hands the most reliable?

Understanding the unspoken mockery in Chen Qiyue’s tone, Ye Li’s expression remained cool, her voice indifferent as she repeated the very same words, "Sorry, not trading, not selling!"

"Ye Li, don’t be so arrogant!"

From one side, Fang Zixuan raised her voice.

As the words fell, the surrounding area fell deathly still.

It was as if the mall’s central air conditioning had been turned on, with a powerful cooling system blasting out intense cold air, a chilling, pressuring atmosphere whirling in from all directions.
