Yang Xuefei naturally wouldn't refuse the opportunity to slack off.

Xu Lang drove her away without caring what she would do next.

He was simply worried that whatever he did would be betrayed by Yang Xuefei.

He didn't completely believe Yang Xuefei.

When Xu Lang returned to the original place, the girl had not left yet.

"You're back! I haven't thanked you properly yet!" In fact, she was not stupid, but she didn't expect that everyone around her was a liar.

Xu Lang looked at the young girl who was not very worldly-wise.

shook his head.

"Hello, my name is Xu Lang."

"Ah, my name is Shangguan, Shangguan Xue. I'm from the Shangguan family in Magic City."

Shangguan Xue didn't care whether Xu Lang knew her home or not, and just introduced it.

"I came here today to pick out a birthday present for my grandfather, but I didn't expect..."

Shangguan Xue explained the purpose of her visit.

Xu Lang looked at the girl in front of him, a little dazed.

Of course he had heard of the Shangguan family.

This is the only family in Mo Du that can be called the Shangguan family.

Although it is not in the same system as the Tianji Association, it is also a top family in the Magic City. Its power is far stronger than that of the Tianji Association. Whether in the political or business circles, it is quite powerful.

However, the Shangguan family is famous for its reputation and power.

The family tradition has never been very good. It can even be said to be notorious.

Their family has a lot of illegitimate sons and daughters, and the private lives and relationships of the Shangguan family's clansmen are just like a melodrama at the 8 o'clock prime time.

Even worse.

After all, melodramatic dramas sometimes require logic, but the Shangguan family does not.

Xu Lang could also see through the Shangguan Xue in front of him.

This girl is probably not a real lady of the Shangguan family, but may be an illegitimate daughter.

I want to take advantage of Mr. Shangguan's birthday to give him a gift and show my face.

Chapter 212: Halfway Out

Although Shangguan Xue in front of him was most likely an illegitimate daughter, Xu Lang did not see her clearly because of this.

The two people of similar age quickly became familiar with each other.

"Xu Lang, how can you be so amazing? I didn't even realize it was fake just now!"

Shangguan Xue asked.

"Oh, I work at the Tianji Association. Didn't my colleague leave with the Security Department because he caught those scammers?"

"That's it!"

Shangguan Xue looked at Xu Lang with sudden enlightenment.

"No wonder, then it's no wonder you're so amazing!"

She nodded, then asked with some concern: "Are you free today? Can you help me find a suitable birthday gift?"

Maybe he felt it was too presumptuous to say that, after all, it was the first time he met Xu Lang.

"Don't worry, I will definitely repay you. My family has some influence in the Tianji Association. I can promote you when the time comes!"

Looking at Shangguan Xue taking on so much responsibility.

Xu Lang just found it a little funny.

Promote yourself? If you promote Feng again, Mr. Feng’s position will be in jeopardy.

I was afraid that if I told her my identity, the girl in front of me would be frightened.

Although Shangguan Xue said this, Xu Lang was not disgusted.

He could sense that the girl in front of him was not a materialistic person, and the reason she asked for his help was because she was young and inexperienced.

"Okay! I'll go with you and take a look!"

The two continued walking.

"This place is so big!" Xu Lang sighed.

This was his first time here, but Shangguan Xue seemed to have been here several times.

"Eh? Aren't you from the Tianji Association? Haven't you been here?"

"Oh, I just came to the Magic City!"

Shangguan Xue nodded.

"Then let me introduce you to the Magic City!"

After Shangguan Xue finished speaking, she began to introduce without caring whether Xu Lang wanted to listen or not.

She talked about a lot of different things, sometimes introducing the delicious food and fun things in Shanghai.

Sometimes we would talk about some gossip about the various families in the Magic City.

Xu Lang listened with great interest.

"How about this one?"

Shangguan Xue stopped halfway and pointed at a golden statue of Guanyin.

"Not so good, new stuff!"

Xu Lang said in a low voice.

Shangguan Xue naturally would not doubt Xu Lang, and shook her head in disappointment.

The stall owner didn't blame them. He just thought they were young people who came here to have fun and didn't expect two people to buy anything.

Little did he know that these two people would buy everything on his stall without any problem.

"What about this?"

Shangguan Xue was like a little child, asking questions as she walked.

Some are genuine but not valuable, some are new, and even more are simply fakes.

Xu Lang explained everything to Shangguan Xue one by one.

"Why don't you look around a bit more and pick out some better ones!"

Shangguan Xue pouted when she heard Xu Lang's words.

It's not that she was angry, she just wanted to compete with Xu Lang. After being rejected by him so many times, Shangguan Xue wanted to see what Xu Lang could find.

After Xu Lang once again rejected the things Shangguan Xue chose.

A casual glance and my eyes brightened.

Squatting in front of a very small stall.

Shangguan Xue was a little curious. This was the first time she saw Xu Lang interested in something.

So I squatted over with Xu Lang to see what he was thanking for.

This is an ordinary stall selling some Buddha statues.

These are all things with clear prices.

It's more like a handicraft stall than an antique stall.

What Xu Lang was playing with in his hand was an ebony Buddha statue.

Shangguan Xue looked at it for a while but still couldn't figure out what it meant.

But Xu Lang asked: "Do you believe in Buddhism, old man?"

When Xu Lang asked this, Shangguan Xue became interested.

"Yes. My grandfather is a devout Buddhist. In our Magic City, my grandfather is at the top of the merit list of many temples, big and small!"

Xu Lang couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

I sighed at the old man's generosity.

The Magic City is not a remote place.

Places like temples are where rich people compete with each other for the sake of face.

If you want to stay at the top of a temple's merit list for a long time, you will have to spend tens of millions of dollars.

This old man buys several companies at a time.

As if noticing the smile in Xu Lang's eyes, Shangguan Xue also began to explain.

"This is the only hobby of the old man, and his family is not short of money, so of course he can do whatever he wants."

Xu Lang didn't know what to say after hearing this.

"Then let's go with this thing. It's quite suitable. It's the perfect birthday gift for the old man."

"This...isn't it a bit shabby?"

Shangguan Xue, on the contrary, became a little hesitant.

It’s not that I don’t trust Xu Lang.

Because I wanted to please Mr. Shangguan, I knew a lot about Buddha statues.

This Buddha statue is worth its price tag, two thousand.

Any more wouldn't be worth it.

It would be fine if it were just an ordinary family.

"If you trust me, I will sell it to you. Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any loss."

Shangguan Xue was also a straightforward person. It was only two thousand yuan anyway, and she was just about to pay.

Suddenly a middle-aged man's voice sounded.

"I want this Buddha statue, give it to me!"

As he said this, he was about to take the Buddha statue from Shangguan Xue's hand.

Shangguan Xue didn't care at first, but when the man's hand reached out, she subconsciously dodged.

"What do you mean by that? Can't you see I have the money in my hand ready to pay? And you come and steal it!"

"Yes, you are going to pay, haven't you not paid yet?"

"Two thousand, I swept it!"

The middle-aged man said to the stall owner.

Yang Xue was so angry at this man's shamelessness that she laughed.

Even if I don’t make steamed buns today, I have to fight for my reputation.

With this attitude.

"I'll give you four thousand! Sell it to me!"

"Hey, I paid!"

"How about we return the two thousand to you? It was indeed this lady who came here first!"

Although the stall owner said this, he was actually very happy in his heart.

He just thought that Shangguan Xue was a young girl who was easy to bully, so he doubled the price when he provoked her.

The middle-aged man over there was not willing to be outdone, and looked at the Buddha statue in Shangguan Xue's hand with some indignation.

"Eight thousand!"
