538: Chapter 538: Enemies Meet!

No Commerce Without Cunning!

Broad-shouldered and corpulent!

Dressed in brand names from head to toe!

She smelled as if she had doused herself in half a pound of perfume, the scent overpowering and choking.

The arrival was none other than Xu Changshan’s younger sister, Xu Juan, right?

Thinking back.

Xu Changshan had issued a hefty bounty for Wu Jie’s death, offering a tidy sum.

And Fang Qingya had invited Wu Jie and Tang Xiao to dinner, inadvertently walking into a restaurant owned by Xu Juan.

As a result, they had nearly been poisoned to death that time.

At the time, Xu Juan was far away in Liuli City, and even though she hadn’t poisoned them personally.

But would her employees dare to poison customers without her consent?

After that incident, Wu Jie had visited Liuli City.

But that wretch, Xu Juan, was busy scheming with other relatives to fight over the inheritance with Xu Changshan’s daughter, Xu Xinyi.

Always surrounded by a retinue, Wu Jie never got a chance to act.

Once Xu Changshan died and the death bounty was withdrawn, plus being busy as usual, Wu Jie gradually let the matter slip from his memory.

And now.

Wu Jie recognized Xu Juan at a glance.

He also instantly understood why her face turned cold as soon as she walked in the door.

After all, the Tang Family has always been at odds with the Xu Family.

And Wu Jie’s relationship with her deceased elder brother, Xu Changshan, was even more like fire and water.

Giving Wu Jie a sidelong glance, Xu Juan approached the desk, sat down, and arrogantly lit a lady’s cigarette for herself.

Crossing her legs with swagger, she squinted at Wu Jie.

“Mr.

Wu!”

Xu Juan called out with a smirk that seemed more strange than amiable.

“Just last week, I heard that a rich client had bought the crown jewel of my jewelry store!”

“Back then, I was wondering who in Tianyuan was so impressive?”

“It was only after seeing the news this weekend that I found out it was you getting married to President Tang!”

Taking a deep drag on her cigarette, Xu Juan smirked and asked:

“What brings you here today?

Looking to buy some more?”

“I heard you’re going back to your rural hometown this weekend to hold another function, do you perhaps want to buy another diamond ring?”

Xu Juan asked with a smiling face.

But in her eyes, there was clear mockery and disdain.

No helping it!

Underdog winning over the Fair-skinned, Rich and Beautiful!

Put nicely, it’s an underdog success story, but put bluntly, isn’t it just brown-nosing?

When a woman marries a man with good financial status, people praise her as fortunate and blessed.

When a man marries a super wealthy and powerful wife, however, people scoff at him as an in-law who married into the wife’s family and a pretty boy living off a woman.

People are different.

Everyone has their own opinion about the same matter.

So…

If some people think Wu Jie is an everyman’s hero, there will certainly be others who think he is shameless.

In Xu Juan’s eyes, Wu Jie clearly fell into the category of ‘super shameless jerk’.

Wu Jie guessed that if he hadn’t bought that Pure Love diamond ring worth 58.88 million,

he would probably have been met with a torrent of abuse, with being the subject of mockery the least of his concerns.

Snap!

Wu Jie was unhurried.

Lighting a cigarette, he took a few puffs before taking out the ring box, the invoice, the certification, and the payment receipt.

“I’m not here today to buy another one.

It’s this one…

I don’t want it anymore!”

Wu Jie’s lips curled in a smile as he stared at Xu Juan.

Indeed!

With a swish!

Xu Juan jumped to her feet as if her hemorrhoids had flared up.

Her fake smile evaporated in an instant.

She gnashed her teeth as though Wu Jie owed her millions.

“You…

say that again??”

Xu Juan seemed not to have heard clearly.

Wu Jie opened the ring box, “Here!

This Pure Love diamond ring that could blind a dog, I don’t want it anymore!”

Xu Juan glanced at the ring and then glared angrily at Wu Jie.

Her expression was volatile.

Looking like she was about to explode in anger, pound the table, curse, or even pick up a stool and strike someone.

But she clenched her teeth and her fists, forcibly holding back her impulses.

She was probably weighing her options.

Her brother Xu Changshan was no longer around, and Wu Jie was now rightfully the son-in-law of the Tang Family.

Moreover, it was well known that Wu Jie was skilled in combat.

If a fight broke out, Xu Juan guessed she wouldn’t last three seconds before being forced to her knees.

What to do?

Xu Juan gnashed her teeth as if she had suddenly turned mute.

She glared at Wu Jie, puffing on her cigarette continuously.

Her chest heaved as if she was about to explode with rage at any moment.

Wu Jie had no interest in admiring her plump body.

His brow furrowed slightly, he was somewhat puzzled.

Why hadn’t the system announced any good news?

After a moment of thought, he suddenly understood.

Because he had exposed the video of Yuan Shikui and directly confronted many of the forces behind him, he had attracted too much jealousy.

Thus, Wu Jie had long since turned off the system’s good news feature.

But ‘seeing’ the history messages, he was somewhat speechless.

Before, being hated by Xu Juan would net 200 energy points.

But now, she must have seized some of the Xu Family’s inheritance, right?

However, how was it that it amounted to only a thousand points?

It seems that Xu Juan’s assets had increased considerably, but her social status had dropped.

After all, the Xu Family, once one of the three great families of Tianyuan, was now shattered and in decline, a far cry from its former glory.

As for the exceptional Pure Love diamond ring, he had no idea how much profit it yielded.

In any case, after getting it back, it would probably take who knows how long to sell it.

So…

After struggling for a while, Xu Juan asked through gritted teeth,

“You’re not joking, are you?

You were the one who willingly bought it to give to Tang Xiao as a wedding ring!”

“The whole world saw your grand and dreamlike wedding, and the Pure Love diamond ring sparkled brilliantly at the event!”

“In many people’s minds, it belongs to Tang Xiao.

Now that you’re returning the ring, it will become second-hand!”

“The kind of person who would buy such a ring for a proposal or wedding must also be extremely wealthy.

Who would want to wear a second-hand ring for their wedding?”

“If you spend a fortune on a ring to marry someone, people will praise you for being generous!

But if you return it right after getting married, aren’t you afraid of being called stingy?”

“You might not care about your reputation, but does Tang Xiao not care either?”

…

Xu Juan wasn’t angry.

Instead, she tried to persuade Wu Jie to drop the idea of returning the item.

However…

Wu Jie shrugged his shoulders.

“You don’t need to say so much nonsense.

It’s my wife who wants to return this ring!”

“You’ve promised a seven-day no-reason return policy, and the invoice clearly shows the transaction date.

Up to now, it hasn’t been seven days!”

“So…

hurry up and process the return!”

Wu Jie urged with some impatience.

Xu Juan clenched her fists and took a deep breath.

58.88 million!

Really want to return it?

Xu Juan felt enormous pressure.

In the battle for the family’s wealth, she hadn’t gained much advantage.

Her elder brother, Xu Changshan, had selfishly kept many assets for his daughter, Xu Xinyi.

Xu Juan had acquired some shops and businesses, but without the rental income from the shops.

But today, labor costs aren’t low!

Employees’ wages, commissions, social security, and the daily utility expenses…

Moreover.

The western restaurant that almost poisoned Wu Jie and the others had been shut down later and heavily fined.

If she were to return the over 50 million yuan to Wu Jie that she had only recently acquired, Xu Juan’s cash flow would nearly break.

“Mr.

Wu!

My cash flow is tight recently; could you possibly come back to return it next month?”

Xu Juan spoke in a tone of negotiation.

Wu Jie shook his head decisively.

“You’re tight, but I’m even tighter.

I’ve spent so much on the wedding, I’m almost unable to make ends meet!”

Xu Juan snorted lightly, not too harshly.

Show-off!!

At the wedding attended by so many wealthy businessmen and celebrities, could the cash gifts be small?

Even if the banquet cost several hundred thousand per table, that wouldn’t use up all the cash gifts, right!

So, Wu Jie’s subtext was telling Xu Juan to stop crying poor and to hurry up and refund the money.

After drawing a deep drag from her cigarette, Xu Juan slowly sat down.

“The seven-day no-reason return policy is a promise from my store!”

“But…

there are conditions to this return.

The Pure Love diamond ring has been worn by your wife, Tang Xiao.

This is evidenced by plenty of online videos, a fact you won’t deny, right?”

Wu Jie nodded slightly, “True, she has worn it, but only briefly on two occasions, and there’s nothing wrong with the ring!

If you believe there should be a fee for its use, then I can accept 80,000 less in the refund!”

Xu Juan scoffed,

“Whether there are issues is not for you to say.

We must have it authenticated by experts!”

“Of course, if you’re worried about fraudulence, you can invite a professional appraisal institution to conduct a fair and impartial verification!”

“If there are no issues, I will certainly honor my promise and refund you the full price!”

“But if there are problems…

heh, then sorry, the store will not issue a refund!”

Confronting Xu Juan’s arrogant gaze, Wu Jie finally understood.

This damn fatso, she simply doesn’t want to refund.

All that nonsense about an appraisal…

By the time the appraisal results come out, it will be motherfucking past seven days.

Then she’ll say that it’s beyond the time limit, no refund granted.

What fucking trickery!

It’s true what they say, no commerce without deceit!

So brazen, is she really forcing me to act?
