"good!"

The dismissive attitude seemed to have aroused Li Yan'an's competitive spirit. He didn't care how big the stakes were; as long as Wu Yujun agreed, he would have achieved his goal.

Wu Yujun was filled with doubt.

There was a mix of doubt and slight worry.

She didn't know what Ye Yun was going to bet with Li Yan'an on, or whether it would put her in a difficult position.

All she wants now is to sever ties with Li Yan'an.

Just as she was filled with doubt and worry, Ye Yun said what she wanted to say: "Mr. Li, if Sister Jun wins against you, will you really do as you say, stop bothering her, and explain the reason for your breakup in front of the children?"

"certainly."

Li Yan'an acted almost without hesitation.

Ye Yun nodded, her eyes showing a hint of appreciation: "Alright, based on what you said, Boss Li, I can't be biased towards either side. Let's not talk about whether Sister Jun can hold onto the gold shop or not, it's pointless. Let's make a bet with a target of 100,000 yuan!"

"A one-month period, with a target of 100,000 yuan."

"Let's see who can earn 100,000 yuan within a month. If Sister Jun earns 100,000 yuan before you, you must never bother her again. If you earn 100,000 yuan before her, she will forgive you."

"real?"

A strong light shone in Li Yan'an's eyes, and he looked at Wu Yujun with excitement and eagerness.

Wu Yujun frowned in disgust.

Being stared at with such affectionate eyes by a man she had betrayed filled her with nothing but disgust.

Now she's more worried about Ye Yun's bet.

What makes her so capable of earning 100,000 yuan in a month on her own?

Although she has some business acumen and owns several gold shops with a considerable income, 100,000 yuan is indeed an astronomical figure that cannot be underestimated. How could she possibly earn that much in just one month?

"Okay! It's settled then."

However, Li Yan'an didn't give her a chance to refuse. His face lit up with excitement, as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and he looked at Wu Yujun, who was filled with disgust for him, with a determined look:

"Yu Jun, I'm determined to earn this 100,000 yuan, and I'm determined to have you too. I will use my own abilities to earn a fortune and come back to see you in style!"

Wu Yujun didn't say a word.

He simply rolled his eyes silently, looking at Li Yan'an, who was making grand pronouncements, with an indescribable expression and complicated gaze.

Li Yan'an chuckled softly.

Then he turned around nimbly and walked away into the cold, drizzling rain.

"Eh..."

Ye Yun suddenly came to her senses.

Wu Yujun quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Ye Yun clapped her hands and pointed at Li Yan'an's departing figure, reminding him indignantly, "He left so decisively, without even signing a written agreement with us. What if he regrets it later!"

"..."

Wu Yujun was silent for two seconds, then raised her hand and patted Ye Yun's shoulder, finally giving a helpless smile, "You really make me not know what to do."

Ye Yun blinked. What?

"You think too highly of your sister," Wu Yujun said with a wry smile, holding her hand, her tone full of helplessness. "Do you even know what 100,000 yuan means?"

"I know."

"You still made a bet with Li Yan'an even though you knew?" Wu Yujun gave her a reproachful look, but her tone didn't mean to blame her at all. She said gently, "You should know that some people could work like oxen and horses for ten lifetimes and still not earn 100,000 yuan."

"I know that too."

Ye Yun readily agreed, patted her chest, and gave her a confident smile.

Wu Yujun couldn't help but laugh.

"I knew you had a trick up your sleeve, you little rascal." She smiled and tapped Ye Yun's nose familiarly. "So, what's your plan?"

Ye Yun silently extended a hand to her.

"Sister Junjun, I'm hungry, can I borrow some money?"

"..."

It took Wu Yujun a while to get used to her way of speaking. After thinking for a moment, she replied seriously, mimicking her manner:

"Sister Jun is poor; she can afford small amounts of money, but not large amounts."

"Don't worry, it's just a small amount of money."

How much do you want?

Two hundred thousand.

"Okay...what?!"

Wu Yujun's eyes widened suddenly, staring at Ye Yun in utter shock. She vigorously picked at her ear to confirm once more, "How many do you want?"

The sudden increase in volume was really too loud.

Ye Yun couldn't help but pick at her ear, looking very innocent: "Sister Junjun, don't ruin it, you're using a vulgar language."

"Stop being so silly, just tell me what you want!"

"Listen to me, I'm telling you..."

She beckoned to her, waited until she got close, leaned in, and whispered in her ear.

Wu Yujun understood immediately.

"I'll go get the money right now!"

"Sister Junjun, you're amazing!"

...

The gold acquisition was conducted almost entirely in secret. Wu Yujun was an expert in running gold shops, and Ye Yun used this opportunity to help her stockpile a considerable amount of gold.

However, the current gold price outlook is not optimistic.

International gold prices are in a continuous downward trend, and have fallen below the $30 mark in the past week, so when this news reached Li Yan'an, he was quite shocked.

But he was also intelligent and quickly guessed Ye Yun and Wu Yujun's intentions.

He happened to run into Ye Yun, who was accompanying Wu Yujun, and took the opportunity to mock her: "You're not planning to hoard gold, wait for a market reversal, and then sell it for a huge profit, are you?"

"Don't dream about it. The price of gold will only fall now, and it's impossible for it to rise in the short term."

"Even if prices rise, it will be months from now. By then, our bet will be over, and it will be too late."

"And I have already earned 30,000 yuan in just ten days. I'm sure I'll earn 100,000 yuan very soon."

After saying these words, he looked intently at Wu Yujun, who was standing next to Ye Yun.

His burning gaze was filled with intense obsession, as if he were looking at a treasure he had accidentally lost and vowed to get it back.

Wu Yujun was speechless.

She had no desire to speak to Li Yan'an and pulled Ye Yun away.

"What bad luck."

Once they reached a secluded spot, Wu Yujun didn't hold back in her complaints.

Ye Yun couldn't help but laugh.

But she didn't say anything.

It's their family matter after all. She can interfere, but she can't speak ill of the other side on one side's behalf.

"By the way, Ye Yun, I'm also curious, why did you ask me to hoard so much gold?"

Wu Yujun asked in confusion.

Is she really trying to make a fortune from this?
