Divas Hit the Road 5: My eye-catching bag has my older sister going crazy for me.

The shop was closed and not open for business.

Chen Ran noticed that there were many shelves in the store, and each shelf was filled with many antique items.

Chen Ran walked in and immediately saw Boss Li's figure.

He was facing away from them, fiddling with something.

"Mr. Li, I'm here again..." Hua Qianyu called softly, a sweet smile appearing on her pretty face.

"Oh, little girl, that dress you're wearing today is really pretty. Where did you buy it?" Boss Li turned around, his eyes immediately lighting up when he saw Hua Qianyu, and he praised her.

Chen Ran's lips twitched slightly.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Li." Hua Qianyu said happily, then asked, "Do you have any antiques here?"

"Antiques? We have some." Mr. Li nodded, took a jade bottle from the shelf, and handed it to Hua Qianyu.

"Come, what do you think of this jade bottle?"

Hua Qianyu reached out suspiciously and took the jade bottle.

Although the jade bottle is old, it exudes a faint, precious light.

"Wow, Mr. Li, you're so stingy! Such an expensive item is fake!" she said, feigning shock and scolding.

"Don't talk nonsense, this is Jade Spring water from Qingyuan Mountain, it's priceless," Mr. Li said hurriedly.

"You're kidding me. Qingyuan Mountain is so far away from here, how could it possibly come to your shop to get a bottle of Jade Spring Water?" Hua Qianyu didn't believe it.

“Young friend, this young lady is right. This jade bottle was indeed transported from Qingyuan Mountain, and it is quite expensive.” A middle-aged man interjected, advising Chen Ran not to speak carelessly.

Chen Ran glanced at him, then looked at Boss Li and asked, "Do you still buy antiques in your shop?"

"Young friend, do you want to replace this porcelain vase?" Boss Li asked in surprise.

"good."

"Although this porcelain vase is fake, it would be a great gift for friends and family, since such antiques are rare and hard to come by," Mr. Li suggested.

Chen Ran pondered for a moment, then asked, "Could you make it cheaper?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Li burst into laughter.

He knew that Chen Ran must be short of money to be bargaining for the garden.

"Young man, there's no need to haggle. No matter how high the price you offer, I won't agree. After all, this porcelain vase is extremely valuable; I found it in an ancient tomb!"

"Uh..." Chen Ran said awkwardly.

"Hehe, I'm not teasing you anymore. Fifty thousand, are you willing to trade?" Boss Li laughed.

Chen Ran's eyelids twitched.

This... is definitely a fake...

However, this price is not something that ordinary people can afford.

"Deal!" Chen Ran said without hesitation.

Mr. Li's eyes gleamed, thinking that Chen Ran must be short of money to have chosen this jade pot. He scoffed inwardly, lamenting Chen Ran's lack of knowledge.

“This bottle is valuable, but that’s only because it’s old and a specialty of Qingyuan Mountain. It’s not actually worth 50,000 yuan. And I won’t lose much if you take it.” Mr. Li thought to himself, but laughed heartily and said, “Alright, you’re a straightforward person. I, Mr. Li, will be your friend.”

He patted Chen Ran on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"This jade pot is unique to Qingyuan Mountain. It's called the 623 Green Bamboo Pot, and it's a work of calligraphy by an ancient master. I guess you recognize it too; it's called 'All Living Beings Like Dragons.' This is a piece of calligraphy that's priceless."

"..." Chen Ran's lips twitched.

He thought Mr. Li was incredibly shameless. He couldn't help but think of that note.

"Alright, keep this jade pot for now. Write me three hundred characters, and I'll consider it. If I'm satisfied, I'll give it to you for free!"

“This…” Chen Ran hesitated.

"What? You think it's not enough?" Boss Li glared.

"No." Chen Ran quickly shook his head.

"Then hurry up and write it!"

"Forehead……"

"What are you dawdling for? Are you afraid I'll steal your money?"

Chen Ran rolled his eyes and then began to write.

He wrote: "The common people are like dragons, soaring through the vast sky, and the whole world is under my control."

"Hmm, not bad. Keep writing, write five hundred more!" Boss Li was quite satisfied after reading it.

But the next moment, he angrily cursed: "You son of a bitch, are you kidding me?"

"Ah? No."

“How can this be described as ‘the common people are like dragons’?” Boss Li pointed to the four lines of poetry on the note.

“Oh, then write one more sentence. This time, write ‘All people worship the saint!’” Chen Ran suddenly realized and quickly added.

"Pfft!" Hua Qianyu couldn't help but burst out laughing. Seeing Boss Li's livid face, she felt extremely pleased.

"The masses worship the saint?" Boss Li gritted his teeth.

“Yes, you say that all people worship, isn’t that the same as all people worshipping a saint?” Chen Ran retorted.

“You…” Boss Li paused, unable to find any words to refute him.

"You...you bastard!" he finally managed to utter.

"Mr. Li, I really helped you out." Chen Ran chuckled.

"You wait, one day I'll get my revenge," Boss Li said viciously, then turned and left.

"Hmph, serves you right!" Hua Qianyu snorted.

Chen Ran shrugged, unconcerned.

Then he took Hua Qianyu for a stroll.

"Young friend, this is Dendrobium officinale, which contains vital essence and is a beauty tonic, suitable for girls..." A vendor pointed to a bright green and crystal clear plant on the counter and enthusiastically promoted it.

Chen Ran ignored him completely, while Hua Qianyu picked out items with great interest.

Suddenly, Chen Ran stopped in his tracks.

"What have you taken a fancy to?" Hua Qianyu followed Chen Ran's gaze.

"Nothing, just browsing." Chen Ran shook his head.

Hua Qianyu frowned. The items here aren't just for show; they also have powerful medicinal effects.

"I'll stay with you," she whispered, standing there with Chen Ran.

Chen Ran was taken aback, then shook his head with a wry smile.

“I’m really fine, I just want to be alone for a while,” he whispered.

Hua Qianyu pursed her lips, her eyes slightly red.

Chen Ran panicked upon seeing this. He quickly explained, "Hua Qianyu, I didn't mean to ignore you."

“I understand, you don’t need to explain to me.” She sniffed.

"I……"

"Okay, stop talking, I understand." She interrupted Chen Ran.

"I really have no other thoughts," Chen Ran said hastily.

Looking at the stubborn Hua Qianyu, he felt a strange feeling welling up inside him.

"I know……".

She spoke softly, her voice growing increasingly choked with emotion.

Then she turned around and left, tears streaming down her face.

Chen Ran stared blankly at her departing figure, unable to calm down for a long time.

He took a deep breath and turned to look at the stall owner.

At this moment, the stall owner was staring intently at the green bamboo teapot in Chen Ran's hand, wishing he could snatch it and keep it for himself.

"Brother, how much is this bamboo teapot?" he asked, suppressing his excitement.

"Two thousand," Chen Ran said indifferently.

"What?" The stall owner was stunned, then his expression became uncertain.

He stared intently at Chen Ran, saying incredulously, "Do you think I'm stupid? This jade pot must cost at least tens of thousands of yuan."
