Chapter 22: Talking about money hurts feelings, you and I are destined people

  Here is the third update, continuing to ask for votes~~~~!!!

  "Wait for me."

  The beautiful lady didn't even think and hurriedly chased out.

  The dispute in this antique shop has attracted a lot of onlookers. So when the beautiful lady rushed out of the antique shop, she was surprised to find that Zhang Wenzhong had already disappeared from view. However, she is also a very capable person, and she quickly moved a round stool placed by the door over, stood up on it, and looked around in all directions, and actually saw Zhang Wenzhong's back in the surging crowd.

  The beautiful lady didn't say another word, jumped down from the stool, parted the onlookers and quickly chased after Zhang Wen-zhong.

  When the beautiful lady finally caught up with Zhang Wen-zhong, he had already walked to the intersection of Yongcheng West Avenue and was about to leave this street famous for its antiques.

  "Thank you so much for what just happened. If it wasn't for you telling me that the bamboo and stone painting was fake, I'm afraid I would have already bought it. The beautiful lady sincerely thanked Zhang Wen Zhong and said from the heart: "To be honest, I don't understand antiques either. I wanted to buy that bamboo and stone painting just because my grandfather's birthday is coming up and he likes antiques and paintings. But I didn't expect that painting to be fake. Luckily you reminded me, or else if I had really given it as a birthday gift to my grandfather, I'm afraid the other relatives at home would have laughed at me."

  Zhang Wen Zhong smiled calmly and said: "Don't be so polite, it's just a matter of lifting one's hand."

  The beautiful lady disagreed with Zhang Wen's words, she shook her head and said seriously: "You not only helped me avoid economic losses, but also helped me avoid the embarrassment of being ridiculed by my relatives. How can I not be grateful to you? By the way, didn't you just look at jade in that antique shop? Why, wasn't there anything that caught your eye?"

  Zhang Wen Zhong was taken aback and shook his head, saying: "No, everything in that antique shop is fake."

  "Alright, I'll give you this jade as a thank you for your help this time." The beautiful lady said, and then pulled out an olive green oval-shaped jade pendant from her handbag and handed it to Zhang Wen-zhong. Smiling, she said: "I can guarantee that my jade pendant is absolutely genuine, not fake!"

  With Zhang Wen's discerning eye, he naturally saw at a glance that the jade pendant was genuine and of good quality. However, he did not accept it, but declined, saying: "This jade pendant is indeed genuine, and the price will not be low, but I do not deserve to receive your gift without having done anything to earn it."

  "Who said it was for nothing? If not you, my loss would be far more than just this jade pendant." The beautiful lady saw Zhang Wen Zhong wanting to return the jade pendant to her and hastily retreated two steps, saying: "Things I give out are never taken back. This jade pendant has already been given to you, if you don't want it, you can even throw it in the trash, just don't try to return it to me."

  Throw away this jade pendant? Zhang Wenzhong couldn't bear to part with it. "Alright then, I'll take this jade pendant." Zhang Wenzhong put the jade pendant into his pocket.

  "That's right!" The beautiful lady suddenly smiled.

  The value of this jade pendant is really not small, so Zhang Wen decided to help her again.

  "I just heard you say that you want to buy that bamboo and stone painting, intending to give it as a birthday gift to your grandfather, right?"

  "Yes, my grandfather likes to tinker with antiques and calligraphy. The beautiful lady nodded in response, then she let out a somewhat disappointed sigh and said: "Unfortunately, I finally found a painting that suits my grandfather's taste, but it turned out to be fake. Alas, if not for the fact that my grandfather's birthday is next Monday, I would have wanted to attend an antique auction in Hong Kong... This time, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to find a birthday gift that Grandfather likes."

  "Hmm, so that's how it is." Zhang Wen Zhong nodded slightly and said: "Alright then, as a return for the jade pendant you gave me, let me take care of the birthday gift for your grandfather instead."

  "Really? That's great!" The beautiful lady was overjoyed, almost to the point of cheering. It seemed that she had been tormented by this matter recently, otherwise, she wouldn't have been so excited. "I'm leaving this matter in your hands, I believe with your keen eye, you'll definitely be able to find a genuine and valuable treasure. The only problem is that time is a bit tight, there are only four days left until next Monday..."

  "It won't take four days." Zhang Wenzhong said: "Tomorrow you can come to the hospital in Yongcheng University to find me and pick up the birthday gift for your grandfather."

  "Can I get it tomorrow? That's great!" The news made the beautiful lady excited, and she said happily: "How much does this birthday gift cost? You tell me. Tomorrow I will give you the money without missing a single cent, absolutely won't let you lose out."

  Zhang Wenzhong smiled and shook his head, saying: "No need for money."

  "Doesn't it cost money?" The beautiful lady was taken aback, looking at Zhang Wen-zhong in surprise.

  "Yes, no need for money." Zhang Wen Zhong smiled and nodded, saying: "You and I are also considered to have a good relationship, this thing can be considered as my gift to you, if we still need to talk about money, it would be too impolite."

  When the beautiful lady heard Zhang Wen mention 'fate', she couldn't help but suspect that he was intentionally trying to get close to her in this way. However, after seeing his sincere expression, the beautiful lady felt ashamed of her guess and secretly thought: "Others are kind enough to want to help me, yet I still doubt them like this. Is it really because I've been involved in too many intrigues that I'm no longer willing to trust others?"

  She secretly stuck out her tongue, and the beautiful lady's face turned slightly red as she said: "This... how can I be so presumptuous? Although I don't understand antiques and calligraphy, I also know that these things are all very valuable. You've already helped me so much today, how can I bear to let you spend more money?"

  Zhang Wenzhong smiled and said, "Alright, it's settled then. You come to the university hospital tomorrow and find me, I still have things to do, so I'll take my leave first." After saying that, Zhang Wenzhong turned around and was about to leave.

  "Hey, wait a minute..." The beautiful lady didn't think that Zhang Wenzhong would actually leave, and she was stunned for a moment before calling out to stop him.
