Chen Zikang was utterly humiliated. If word got out that his Chen family's child had been given away as a child bride, how could he ever face anyone again?
“These are all jokes, Huihui. You're a young lady, why are you joking around like this? Since this bracelet belongs to someone else, just return it. But giving only one isn't very nice. Dad has another gold one, so you can give it to them as a pair.”
A moment of silence fell over the room.
“That won’t do.” Xu Keke looked at him with a smile. “When someone bought me, this bracelet could have bought several of me. They paid for it, so I have to give them the goods. There’s no reason to go back on my word.”
Honesty is the most important thing in business. It's not good to go back on your word.

Yun Sheng glanced at Chen Ming across from him. For some reason, Chen Ming saw disdain in Yun Sheng's eyes.
Chen Ming looked back with some confusion, unable to understand what his father disliked about him.
Unfortunately, Yun Sheng lowered his head again and began eating the fish in front of him. This was because Xu Keke had pushed the bowls she hadn't finished eating into his hands.
Chen Ming had no idea that Yun Sheng's glance was an expression of disdain for his size. Xu Keke's desire to be like Chen Ming meant, in his mind, being as tall as Chen Ming.
