Chapter 65: Lifting a Rock Only to Smash Your Own Foot

A smile curled at the corner of her mouth. “So it really is an antique. Then I’ll have to treasure it properly. But…”

Su Qian paused slightly.

Then she continued, “Boss, I heard your shop also buys antiques?”

Wang De Fa froze for a moment.

[As expected of a heiress-she was so easy to fool.]

He was just about to speak when Chen Zi Hao stepped forward with a flattering grin. “Classmate Su Qian, don’t worry. As long as it’s genuine, my uncle will definitely buy it.”

As he spoke, Chen Zi Hao shot Wang De Fa a look.

[This was such a perfect chance to build connections-he couldn’t let it slip.]

Wang De Fa got the hint and nodded rapidly. “Yes, yes, yes. Miss, don’t worry. As long as it’s real, the price will definitely satisfy you.”

“Okay.”

Su Qian’s lips lifted slightly. “I left it in the trunk. It’s a bit heavy. Zi Hao, can you help me carry it?”

That single “Zi Hao” made Chen Zi Hao’s heart itch.

He felt like he was floating.

He nodded quickly. “Of course, Classmate Su Qian. Just wait a moment-I’ll go right now.”

[Miss Su is asking me to run errands? Doesn’t that mean she still approves of me?]

Thinking that, Chen Zi Hao was overjoyed. He still put on airs and shot Lu Yao a provocative look.

Lu Yao: “?”

Lu Yao stared at Chen Zi Hao’s provocative look, completely confused.

“Here are the keys. The car is at the East Gate intersection.” Su Qian handed the key to Chen Zi Hao. “Sorry to trouble you, Zi Hao.”

“No trouble at all. It’s my honor.”

Chen Zi Hao took the key excitedly, his hands even trembling.

This was a Lamborghini key!

He hurried toward the East Gate intersection.

Wang De Fa watched Chen Zi Hao’s back and felt smug.

[This nephew was pretty sharp. He knew how to seize the chance to flatter the heiress.]

Before long, Chen Zi Hao reached the East Gate intersection and found Su Qian’s car.

He didn’t rush to the trunk. Instead, he opened the door and sat in the driver’s seat.

“So this is what it feels like to sit in a luxury car worth tens of millions?”

Chen Zi Hao leaned back comfortably, a blissed-out look on his face.

“It won’t be long before I can drive this car openly.”

Chen Zi Hao felt pleased with himself.

It was as if he could already see himself successfully courting Su Qian and living a lavish life.

He sank into his sweet fantasy, and only after a long while did he snap back to his senses.

He quickly got out and opened the trunk.

The moment he saw what was inside, he froze.

It was a huge crate, and it looked extremely heavy.

Chen Zi Hao gritted his teeth and struggled to haul the crate out of the trunk.

“Th-this… this is way too heavy.” Chen Zi Hao panted hard.

Yet a strange excitement rose in him.

[Once I do this well, Miss Su will definitely see me in a new light. Then I’ll have a chance to pursue her.]

He took a deep breath, gripped the edges tightly with both hands, and dragged the crate the rest of the way out.

By the time he finally got it to the antique shop entrance, Chen Zi Hao was already breathing hard.

He wiped the sweat off and said to Su Qian, “Classmate Su Qian, I brought it.”

“Zi Hao, you worked hard.” Su Qian smiled at him.

Her tone was even a little gentle.

It made Lu Yao, standing nearby, feel oddly uncomfortable.

“I can carry it too,” Lu Yao said gloomily.

Su Qian froze.

[Big brother, why are you being jealous? You love doing hard labor or what?]

[I’d never make you do this kind of work when there’s a free worker right here.]

Su Qian immediately laughed. “Alright, I know you’re capable too. But Zi Hao already went through the trouble this time.”

Hearing Su Qian praise him, Chen Zi Hao’s heart surged with excitement. “Not hard at all, not hard at all. Being able to do things for Classmate Su Qian is my honor.”

He even took the chance to shoot Lu Yao another provocative look.

[Looks like this kept pretty-boy is just a pretty face. He doesn’t really win Miss Su’s favor at all.]

Su Qian didn’t care about their little exchange. She looked at Wang De Fa and said, “Boss, can you take a look at what I brought now?”

Wang De Fa’s face was packed with smiles. “Of course. Miss, please wait a moment.”

He turned and gave Old Zhang a look.

Old Zhang understood and immediately stepped forward to open the crate.

Once the crate opened, what was inside was revealed.

When Wang De Fa saw it clearly, he was stunned!

“Th…”

Wang De Fa’s eyes went wide.

The crate was filled with identical “God Stone.”

Wang De Fa’s face turned paper-white in an instant.

“Miss, th-this… what’s going on?” Wang De Fa asked in a trembling voice.

Su Qian’s lips curled slightly. “Boss, didn’t you say this ‘God Stone’ is an antique? I just happen to have a whole crate.”

Fine beads of sweat broke out on Wang De Fa’s forehead, and his eyes flickered.

He had no idea what Su Qian was trying to do.

He stammered, “Miss, th-then… where did these come from?”

“Family heirloom.”

Su Qian’s smile didn’t fade. “Oh, and the ones you sold my friend yesterday are mixed in there too.”

Wang De Fa was almost dumbfounded.

[Family heirloom, my ass.]

These were decorative stones made from resin and polyester fiber.

He silently cried in misery. How was he supposed to tell which ones were his and which were Su Qian’s “family heirloom” now?

“Miss Su, please don’t joke around.” Wang De Fa forced a dry laugh.

“I’m not joking.”

Su Qian narrowed her eyes slightly. “Boss, didn’t you say this ‘God Stone’ is an antique? If it’s an antique, then it’s not strange for my family to have a whole crate passed down, right?”

At this moment, Chen Zi Hao still hadn’t realized how serious things were.

He leaned in and looked at the stones curiously. “Uncle, aren’t these all antiques? Why won’t you buy them?”

Wang De Fa glared at him fiercely. “Shut up!”

Chen Zi Hao jumped at the glare and immediately didn’t dare say another word.

Su Qian watched their reactions, her lips lifting slightly. “My friend bought ten here yesterday and spent two hundred thousand in total, right?”

She looked at the crate and continued, “Boss, count them. How much do you think this whole crate is worth?”

Wang De Fa’s heart sank.

He understood.

So she really came looking for trouble.

[If she had shown up demanding a refund, I could’ve insisted it was genuine and refused returns.]

[But now it’s ‘genuine’-I lifted a rock only to smash my own foot.]

“Miss Su… maybe there was some misunderstanding with the appraisal.” Wang De Fa stammered.

This was a whole crate!

How much was he going to lose?

And he’d already said it out loud-if he didn’t buy them, he still had to buy them.

[Compared to that, shifting the blame would cost the least.]

“Oh?” Su Qian raised an eyebrow slightly. “So you mean the appraiser in your shop isn’t reliable? Then can people still feel safe buying things here?”

Her tone carried a hint of mockery.

Her eyes locked tightly onto Wang De Fa, making him feel pressured.
