Chapter 558: Chapter 558: Coca-Cola Heiress_1

"Elder sister, are you home?"

The punk man pushed the door open, a devil-may-care attitude on his face, grinning at Zong Wangyue’s mother.

The latter glanced at him and said irritably, "Why do you have time to come here today?"

"Sis, I know you’re busy, so I won’t bother you with useless talk."

The punk man placed the black briefcase in his hand on the coffee table and with a "snap," opened the briefcase, revealing it was stuffed full with US dollars.

Upon seeing this, Zong Wangyue’s mother frowned and asked, "What are you doing with this?"

"Sis, this money is to buy something from you."

"What thing?"

"Actually, it’s nothing much, just a small glazed bead. Remember, the two of us dug it up together? You treated it like a treasure afterward, always hiding it, not even letting me take another look at it."

She really hadn’t expected her brother, who enjoyed living a carefree life, to set his sights on the glazed stone, which wasn’t of much value.

Han Bing, also known as Zong Wangyue’s mother, swept her cold gaze over the punk man, Han Peng, and said, "Han Peng, what exactly are you trying to sell in your gourd? How did you suddenly become interested in my stone?"

Knowing his sister’s temperament all too well, Han Peng realized that if he didn’t make things clear, she would never part with the glazed stone. So, he smiled and introduced the blonde beauty beside him to Han Bing.

"Sister, this beautiful lady is named Sophia. She is..."

"Sophia? Chandler, the actual shareholder of the Coca-Cola group, one of the owners of the American Y2K Antique Studio."

Zong Wangyue’s voice came from the second floor as he walked down the stairs at the entrance with a smile, leading Qiu Ju and Dongxue by the hands on each side.

"Little Yueyue, not bad, huh? Your interest in gossip is getting wider and wider." Han Peng looked up at Zong Wangyue, then got distracted by the twin beauties by his side, "Yo, who are these two?"

Zong Wangyue couldn’t be bothered to talk to Han Peng, walking down the stairs with the twin women, and said to Han Bing with a grin, "Mom, I’m presenting you with two genuine daughters-in-law now, heh heh, I’ve got things to do, off to school."

Han Bing had already noticed; she could tell just by the way the two women walked down the stairs, and her curiosity about you grew even more.

At the same time, this further solidified her stance.

"That glazed bead you’re talking about, I’ve already sold it to someone else."

"What?"

Han Peng’s face went pale. Before arriving, he had confidently promised Sophia and already received five million US dollars from her, now with the two million on the table for Han Bing, he was to pocket three million.

"Sis, don’t joke with me like this. My heart’s weak, I can’t take such scares."

Han Bing shot Han Peng a sideways glance. Although they were siblings, Han Bing, like her parents, was utterly disappointed with her good-for-nothing, daydreaming brother and rarely interacted with him.

"I’m not joking. The glazed bead has indeed been sold."

"But, but..."

At this point, Sophia had already turned around and was quickly heading towards the main entrance.

"Hey? Hey! Sophia!"

Han Peng quickly closed the briefcase with the money and hurried after Sophia’s steps.

By the time Han Peng caught up with Sophia, Zong Wangyue’s car had just pulled out of the driveway.

"Give it to me." Sophia’s accent was impeccable, and her expression had gradually turned icy.

"What?" Han Peng did not react at once.

"The car keys."

"Oh." Realizing what was happening, Han Peng hurriedly handed the car keys to Sophia from his pocket.

"Get in the car!"

No sooner had Han Peng settled in than the scissor doors began to rise; they had not even fully closed when Sophia already slammed down the gas pedal, roaring away from the main gate.

More than half an hour later, Zong Wangyue parked his car at a spot outside the "Guai Hua" coffee shop. Just as he got out, a Lamborghini pulled up behind him.

Zong Wangyue was familiar with that car and immediately turned around, watching quietly as Sophia and Han Peng exited the vehicle.

It was only now that Zong Wangyue realized he had been followed, and he couldn’t help but touch his forehead and sigh, "If this were espionage, I’d probably have been shot by the Boss already."

"Where is he?"

Sophia walked over, her expression cold and hard, looking down on Zong Wangyue from a superior position.

Without further ado, Zong Wangyue, with his quick wits, knew who Sophia was looking for. He gave a slight smile, his face naturally assuming the same insouciant grin he always wore, "The person you’re looking for is my Boss, who normally is elusive like a dragon seen but never caught. However, you’re in luck today; he’s right inside the coffee shop."

Upon hearing this, Sophia immediately strode toward the coffee shop.

Han Peng hurried over and said to Zong Wangyue, "Little Yueyue, can you give your uncle a heads up? Who exactly is this Boss you’re talking about? Can I afford to provoke him?"

Zong Wangyue laughed, sizing up Han Peng and said, "With you being a professional moocher, I doubt you’d even qualify to step into this coffee shop."

With a snort, he turned and entered the coffee shop.

"Hey! Hey, hey! Don’t be like that, I’m still your uncle after all!"

Han Peng followed Zong Wangyue’s footsteps into the coffee shop, while you were sitting at the bar, chatting casually with Wei Shuxian.

"Old Shu, looks like a green-eyed Persian cat is heading your way," Yang Kai, who had skipped class to hang out at the bar, remarked at your side.

Glancing sideways at Sophia, you smiled indifferently, "Although I knew she would come, I didn’t expect her to be so quick. She’s a pro."

"Is it about that Glazed Bead you mentioned earlier?" Wei Shuxian asked, frowning.

"Hmm."

"What’s the background of it?"

"The bead, or the beauty?" you asked.

"Calling her a beauty? With that rough skin, too tall, and those freckles on her face, tsk tsk tsk..." Yang Kai said disdainfully.

Wei Shuxian slapped Yang Kai’s face onto the bar counter and turned to ask you, "The bead."

"I don’t know."

"You really don’t know?"

You shrugged your shoulders, and by that time, Sophia had already come over to stand beside you, saying in standard Chinese, "Hello, my name is Sophia. I heard you have a Glazed Bead, and I would like to make a high offer to purchase it."

"Sorry, I don’t intend to sell the bead."

Sophia stared straight at you, and after a few seconds, spoke in a slightly icy tone, "I think you will agree."

"Oh? Give me a reason."

You wore a faint smile, but it carried a hint of veiled pressure.

Sophia’s eyebrows twitched, and she involuntarily took a step back because the moment she locked eyes with you, she suddenly detected an extremely dangerous aura!

It felt as if she was in a primeval forest, targeted by a venomous snake of unparalleled toxicity!
