Probably because of the "serious business" that her companion was talking about, the arrogant girl waved her fist at Yan Shule and left angrily. The others looked at Yan Shule and followed closely. The last girl was pulled by the person in front of her and followed slowly with her head down.
Yan Shule watched them leave and originally didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but the look in the little girl's eyes before she left made Yan Shule feel a little uncomfortable, so he followed them from a distance.
Yan Shule watched them walk to the square at the end and stop in front of an antique stall. Then a few people pointed and said something to the little girl at the end, with an air of commanding. The little girl walked forward tremblingly and took the small wooden box from the antique stall owner.
Maybe it was because of the golden finger, but Yan Shule's eyesight was much better than that of ordinary people. Even from a distance, she noticed that the honest girl who had just tried to stop the fight winked at the owner of the antique stall. The next second, the owner let go, and the wooden box fell to the ground before it even reached the girl's hands.
The little girl's companions immediately rushed forward and started to criticize, and the boss also looked heartbroken.
Yan Shule's eyes were fixed on the small wooden box that had fallen to the ground. If she was not mistaken...
"You are so careless. You just broke Liu Ke's box and asked me to buy you a replacement. But you broke the boss's box again. Let's see how you are going to compensate me this time."
"Haha, I don't think it was an accident. You are targeting me on purpose." The Shamatte girl who had just had a conflict with Yan Shule sneered with a vicious look on her face.
Gu Yizhen's panicked face was covered with tears, "I didn't..."
"It's not easy for the boss either. Let's not talk about your box for now, Liu Ke. I think Zhenzhen, you should compensate the boss first." The honest girl advised with a look of regret on her face.
Gu Yizheng looked at her blankly.
The owner of the antique stall was still attacking him, "This box of mine is a real antique, you have to at least compensate me 10,000!"
Ten thousand yuan! Gu Yizheng looked up at him in panic, with a hint of obscurity in her eyes. If it were in the past, ten thousand yuan would only be her monthly pocket money, but now, she really couldn't come up with so much money.
"Otherwise, I think we should just cripple her troublesome hand." Liu Ke said with a sinister smile, his eyes full of malice, "If you cripple your hand, we'll be even. You don't have to pay for the box, and I'll buy it for you. What do you think?"
Gu Yizheng put her hands behind her back tremblingly under Liu Ke's murderous gaze. No, no, how could this be possible? How can she paint without these hands?
"Tsk, you don't still want to paint, do you?" Liu Ke laughed exaggeratedly, "Can you afford a box of paint with all the money you have now?"
Gu Yizheng stood with his hands behind his back, biting his lips and saying nothing.
"I will compensate you." She said in a low voice after a while.
Liu Ke sneered, "Compensation? How do you compensate? Do you have money? Or..." She looked at Gu Yizhen with ill intent, "Selling yourself to make money?"
The commotion on their side has attracted a lot of people's attention. Many people looked at Gu Yizhen with sympathy, but there were also one or two people with ulterior motives who looked at her unscrupulously, and no one knew what they were thinking.
Gu Yizhen's face turned red, and she was about to cry, but she tried hard to hold back her tears. "I will find a way to make money. Please don't insult me."
"I bought this box." At this time, a voice came from the side.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Yan Shule walking straight towards them. The onlookers spontaneously made way for her.
"It's you?" Liu Ke sneered, "Why? Are you going to help her out?"
Yan Shule smiled softly, "It's just ten thousand yuan, what's the big deal? This little box looks exquisite, just buy it and play with it."
After that, she picked up the broken box on the ground, took out her phone and asked the boss, "Ten thousand yuan, right?"
The boss glanced at Liu Ke and the others, then at Yan Shule. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he could only nod helplessly.
Yan Shule simply scanned the QR code on the boss’ stall and paid.
The people around couldn't help but talk about this. Where did this sucker come from? If it was a man, he could say that he was a hero saving a beauty for other purposes, but it was a girl, could it be that she was just being chivalrous?
"This is money I borrowed from you. I will pay you back later." Gu Yizheng looked at Yan Shule gratefully and said in a low but firm voice.
Yan Shule was looking through the box in his hand. He turned his head and looked at her steadily. After a while, he sighed and stuffed the box into her arms. "It's okay now."
She hadn't seen such a rich green for a long time. Well, just do a good deed that day. She won’t lose anything anyway.
Liu Ke, who was standing next to her, sneered when he heard Yan Shule's words, and looked at her with disdain, "I thought you were a hero who regarded money as dirt, but it turns out you are just a coward."
After that, she looked at Gu Yizhen sarcastically, "Do you really think that anyone can help you? Just accept your fate. From the moment your family goes bankrupt, you will never be able to turn things around in your life."
Gu Yizhen was stunned for a moment, the light in her eyes dimmed, she tightly grasped the box in her hand, still whispering, "I should have paid it back in the first place."
The people around also started talking and pointing at Yan Shule and his group.
Yan Shule turned a deaf ear to the discussions around her. She took the box from Gu Yizheng's arms and suddenly threw it to the ground.
The people around her were stunned by her sudden action.
In the silence, Yan Shule squatted down calmly and picked out a yellowed piece of paper from the fragments of the wooden box.
"What's this?"
"There's something else going on with this box?"
“It can’t be a real antique.”
"You're overthinking it. How is that possible? That box doesn't look worth much at first glance."
"If it wasn't an antique, why would you go to so much trouble to hide it?"
"How did this little girl know this?"
Yan Shule shook off the sawdust on the paper, opened it and took a look. It turned out to be a recipe. She looked at it carefully and it should be a lost royal dish. This thing might be a treasure to some foodies, but to some people, it might be worthless. No wonder she felt that the light in the box was red but not very real.
She handed the recipe to Gu Yizhen and said, "It's a lost recipe. Find a decent restaurant to sell it for some money. Remember to pay me back after you sell it."
Gu Yizheng took the recipe in a daze.
"Wait!" A man suddenly rushed out from the crowd, "I'm the owner of Juxianlou, can I see the recipe?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed in front of Gu Yizheng.
Gu Yizheng hadn't reacted yet and blankly handed the recipe in her hand to him.
The man carefully flipped through the books while laughing. When he had seen enough, he raised his head and held up two fingers. "Two hundred thousand, what do you think?"
Gu Yizheng subconsciously looked at Yan Shule.
Yan Shule took two steps forward and glanced at the recipe. "Five hundred thousand."
The boss looked embarrassed and said, "Two hundred and fifty thousand at most."
"Five hundred thousand."
"Three hundred thousand is not more."
"Three hundred and fifty thousand. I won't sell it for less." Yan Shule said coldly.
"Okay, deal." The boss readily wanted to transfer the money to Yan Shule on the spot. Yan Shule pointed at Gu Yizhen and said, "She is the seller, just give it to her."
Boss: …So after talking for so long, it’s not you who’s selling it?
Gu Yizhen refused to accept it, "I didn't find this recipe, I can't take it."
"Didn't you say you were borrowing my money? Since I lent you the ten thousand yuan, then naturally it should be considered that you bought it." Yan Shule said without question, "Hurry up and collect the money."
Gu Yizhen couldn't refuse, so she had to tell her boss her account number. The boss quickly transferred the money and left with the recipe.
With the gimmick of accidentally discovering a lost recipe in the antique market, his restaurant will be prosperous for a while.
Liu Ke and his group, who had been stunned on the spot since Yan Shule discovered the recipe, finally reacted at this moment. They didn't expect that their plan to trap Gu Yizhen failed, but instead made her earn 300,000 yuan for nothing. Thinking of this, Liu Ke felt so angry that he almost felt itchy.
She looked at Gu Yizheng hatefully, then at Yan Shule, blaming this nosy woman.
The owner of the antique stall was regretting his decision so much that his intestines turned green. He should not have taken the 50,000 yuan to help these girls set up the scam. He lost more than 200,000 yuan for nothing!
Gu Yizhen watched Liu Ke and the others leave angrily, and her worried face relaxed a lot. She walked solemnly to Yan Shule and bowed, "Thank you so much for today."
Yan Shule noticed that the green color on her body had faded a lot, but was still quite strong, so she knew that her predicament was not over yet. However, since they had just met by chance, she really didn't know what else she could do.
Gu Yizhen said to her again, "Originally, I really shouldn't have accepted this three hundred thousand, but I..." She seemed to find it difficult to speak, her face flushed with shame, "I shamelessly accepted it first, can you please leave me your contact information, when I get through the difficulties temporarily, I will work hard to make money and return the money to you."
Yan Shule looked at her twice and couldn't help but sigh again. Never mind, maybe it was fate. Who made her like this little girl so much?
Yan Shule looked around and found a teahouse across the street, so he invited Gu Yizhen, "How about we go have a cup of tea and chat?"
