"Beauty, I have to support my family too..."
The stall owner looked embarrassed.
"It's just doubling the amount. I'll give you 20,000!"
"forty thousand!"
"fifty thousand!"
"One hundred thousand!"
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then made another offer: "150,000!"
"I'll pay you two hundred thousand!"
When the stall owner heard Shangguan Xue's offer, his eyes sparkled.
This is much higher than the price I paid for it myself.
"This gentleman?"
The stall owner still wanted to make more money, so he looked at the middle-aged man again.
Shangguan Xue also looked at her with a proud look on her face. She was happy to accept the two hundred thousand even if it was just to buy her own comfort.
The middle-aged man paused and wanted to add more money.
But Xu Lang couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
"That's enough, a grown man like you is arguing with a little girl!"
Xu Lang's voice was somewhat cold, he was already suppressing his anger.
Chapter 213: Little bastard?
Xu Lang's words caught the middle-aged man's attention.
"Oh? I thought it was someone else? Turns out it's just some little naked guy who wants to be a hero and save the damsel in distress?"
The middle-aged man's expression became more and more disdainful.
He glanced at Xu Lang and no longer looked at him directly, with an extremely contemptuous attitude.
"Young man, if you want to be a hero and save a beautiful girl, you need to have power. If you have the ability, you can pay for this girl. Or if you offer a higher price than me, I will accept it."
Although middle-aged people are arrogant, they are still very rational.
He knew in his heart that the value of this Buddha statue was far more than that, but he couldn't let his boss know.
The people here are all very cunning. If there is even the slightest sign of trouble, they will hold on and won't let go.
He is simply a wolf.
So the middle-aged man kept leading the matter to the conflict between the two parties, making the stall owner think that the two people offered such a high price just out of spite.
But it was his aggressive attitude that made Shangguan Xue a little annoyed.
Young people are impulsive.
Shangguan Xue did what the stall owner wanted to see most.
"Xu Lang, get out of the way. It's just money! I'll give you 100."
When the stall owner heard this number, his eyes widened.
But Xu Lang would not let this happen, and subconsciously covered Shangguan Xue's mouth with his hand.
Then he took another step forward.
I don’t know why, but the middle-aged man just felt that there was an indescribable sense of oppression from this young man.
As if it was a conditioned reflex, he took a step back.
"Do you understand the rules? We haven't even put our stuff down yet, and you're already bidding? Do you still want to stay in this business?"
Because I retreated before and heard Xu Lang say this.
The middle-aged man just felt a little embarrassed.
"Rules? My rules are rules.
I'm going to make it clear today that I'm Wang Haiping, the resident appraiser of Shanshui Antiques! I've taken a fancy to this Buddha statue, and I won't mind if you offer a higher price than me or have more influence than me.
You want to use the rules to make me give up? Impossible! "
Wang Haiping looked very proud, especially when he mentioned Shanshui Antique Shop, the pride on his face did not seem fake.
At this time, there were already quite a few onlookers around. When they heard the name, they subconsciously took a breath of cold air.
The antique stall owner also looked at the Buddha statue meaningfully. In his eyes, it was no longer just a Buddha statue, but a money tree.
The stall owner is also an old hand here and knows the situation well.
Shanshui Antique Shop is one of the largest antique shops in the entire antique city.
The reason why it is not called an antique shop is because the owner of this shop is rich and powerful, with extremely wide connections. Most of the items in the shop are vintage antiques and are truly good things.
This Wang Haiping, who claims to be an appraiser there, must be quite capable. If he likes this Buddha statue, it must be extraordinary.
In fact, not to mention passers-by and stall owners, even Xu Lang felt the name of Shanshui Antique Shop sounded familiar.
What he didn't know was that if Yang Xuefei hadn't been sent away by him, she would definitely tell him.
This antique shop is one of the few shops on Antique Street where Zhuge Boss often goes to extort money, and the rewards are very generous.
"Young man, why don't you just forget about it. This antique business is a tough one. It's not worth it just to get angry!"
"That's right. The last time we competed with this antique shop, it was said that the tendons in his hands and feet were torn. Later, they were reconnected, but he is still disabled!"
"Yes, and besides, the appraiser must know the bottom price of this Buddha statue. If you add more money out of anger, you will be accused of wasting money later!"
"Why are you trying to persuade him? It's hard to persuade a ghost who wants to die with kind words. Just let him do what he wants!"
"We can't give up. The girl next to him is pretty!" The people around were talking about it, some were trying to persuade him, while others were mocking him.
At this time Shangguan Xue also reacted.
Her mouth had just been covered by Xu Lang, and she blushed for some reason.
Especially when Xu Lang stepped forward to stand in front of her, she, who had lacked care since childhood, felt an unprecedented sense of security.
But when she heard about Shanshui Antique Shop, she was awakened from the feeling she had just been immersed in.
She had been to this place before, but couldn't afford the things there, so she came out to try her luck.
She also wanted to retreat. Although she was the daughter of the Shangguan family, she was only an illegitimate daughter and was not included in the family tree. Her power and wealth were limited. If she really confronted such a force, nothing good would happen to her.
Shangguan Xue pulled at the corner of Xu Lang's clothes.
This action did not escape Wang Haiping's eyes.
"What's wrong? Little girl, you don't dare to compete? What were you doing earlier?
Besides, it's too late for you to back down now. If you, my mistress, kneel down and kowtow to me, I might let you go!"
Wang Haiping frowned halfway through his speech.
Then his expression relaxed again, and the disdain on his face reappeared.
He originally felt that Shangguan Xue looked familiar, as if he had seen her at a dinner party before.
He was still worried about which family the lady was from, but he soon remembered Shangguan Xue's identity.
"I was wondering why he looked so familiar! The bastard from the Shangguan family.
Such a lowly thing dares to compete with me. Do you really not know who you are?
Do you really think of yourself as the eldest daughter of the Shangguan family?
I have changed my mind now. You and your mistress, kowtow to me together, and I will let you go.
Otherwise I will tell the Shangguan family what happened today.
But you shouldn't be punished, after all, you are from the Shangguan family, hahahaha! Otherwise, how did a little bastard like you come out!"
Wang Haiping spoke more and more, and his words became more and more vulgar.
He revealed all of Shangguan Xue's identity.
For one thing, the fact that he knew people from the Shangguan family was actually something he should be proud of.
Secondly, Shangguan Xue was humiliated like this, and the thin-skinned girl would definitely not be able to stay there.
As expected, Shangguan Xue felt very uncomfortable when her identity was revealed.
She has been particularly concerned about her identity since she was a child.
She also felt that the people around her who were pointing and talking were discussing her and laughing at her for being a real bastard.
For some reason, Shangguan Xue's eyes became red.
The water couldn't help but flow down.
She turned around and was about to leave the place.
But at this time, Xu Lang took action.
He grabbed Shangguan Xue.
She kept shouting, "It's not your fault, why did you leave?"
The other empty hand was not idle either. It took a step forward and slapped Wang Haiping twice on the cheek.
But Wang Haiping was still some distance away from Xu Lang, and Xu Lang held Shangguan Xue's hand tightly and did not let go.
Shangguan Xue couldn't stand steadily and fell towards Xu Lang.
Fortunately, Xu Lang reacted quickly and hugged Shangguan Xue around the waist.
After a very brief pause, Xu Lang helped her stand steadily again.
Chapter 214: Alone in a Room
"You dare to hit me?" Wang Haiping looked at Xu Lang in disbelief.
"Just because you bully a little girl, what's wrong with me hitting you? You really are getting more shameless as you get older."
Facing Wang Haiping's rebuke, Xu Lang was not afraid at all.
Feeling the intense pain on his cheek and taking a look at Xu Lang's height and build, Wang Haiping finally did not fight back.
He thought it through very clearly. Once the people he called came, he would do whatever he wanted.
This is called "a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall." Wang Haiping found an excuse for his bullying.
"Okay, if you have the guts, don't leave. I'll call someone and they'll be here soon. Don't even think about running away. I know this little girl. If you run away, I'll find someone to take revenge on her."
Wang Haiping stared at Xu Lang, afraid that he would run away now.
The ferocious look frightened Shangguan Xue so much that she shrank behind Xu Lang.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Xu Lang's gentle voice calmed Shangguan Xue's uneasy heart.
Looking at Wang Haiping who was on the phone, Xu Lang also made a call.
Although I am not afraid of Wang Haiping, his words are true: a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
Sometimes, you really don't need to do it yourself.
Wang Haiping put down the phone, and the other end of the phone had already given him a positive answer.
Wang Haiping was confident in his decision and became more and more arrogant.
"Wait kid, your retribution is coming.
Don’t you know to ask me if I know the rules?
You go away today, I will let you know what rules and manners are. "
Xu Lang also gave instructions.
After hanging up the phone, I looked at Wang Haiping in front of me and felt a kind of confidence that came from a lack of brain stem.
