Chapter 251 252: Treasure of the Store!
Afterward, it seemed like their family was hell-bent on pursuing the matter.
"What's the front desk for? Letting a cripple like him in?" Zhang Bin said impatiently, looking at Qin Long with a cold expression.
"Zhang Bin, if you screw this up for me, I'll skin you alive!" Lin Huahua retorted, her expression filled with anger. Is this Zhang Bin deliberately trying to sabotage me? If the customer leaves, my bonus is gone.
"Sister Hua, he doesn't count as a customer, does he?" Zhang Bin said. "He's just here to look around. No need to waste your energy on him. He's definitely not here to buy a diamond ring. Besides, he can't afford it!" he added, waving his hand dismissively with a scornful look on his face.
He knew the Tang family's financial situation all too well. They could have afforded it in the past, but ever since they were kicked out of the Tang Family, there was no way they could buy such an expensive ring.
"Young Master, you aren't here to make fun of me, are you?" Lin Huahua asked, furrowing her elegant brows.
"I'm just here for a proposal gift," Qin Long explained with a helpless shake of his head.
"Haha! Keep bragging, Qin Long," Zhang Bin sneered. "I've been married for three years and have two kids already, and you're still hobbling around on a crutch? Besides, do you have the money for a diamond ring? Don't tell me you're planning to give it to Tang Xuewu. Is she even worthy?"
Zhang Bin snatched the diamond ring and dangled it in his hand, his face a mask of impatience.
"Zhang Bin, I advise you not to court death." Insulting Tang Xuewu had instantly enraged Qin Long.
"Ooh, I'm so scared!" Zhang Bin mocked. "You useless, crippled dog, don't you have any self-awareness? Besides, your prospective mother-in-law, Zhang Meilan, is the one who told me all this. You'd better hurry home before you embarrass yourself further."
Zhang Bin clasped his hands behind his back, feeling incredibly smug.
"Say one more word, and I'll rip your mouth off! Are you tired of living?"
Just then, a furious Zi'er, having returned from parking the car, glared at Zhang Bin. Seeing her tall figure clad in a black jacket, a greedy look flashed in Zhang Bin's eyes.
"Young Master Qin, what's this bastard doing?" Zi'er asked, turning to look at Qin Long.
"He's just a fly. Ignore him," Qin Long replied with an indifferent wave of his hand, completely dismissing Zhang Bin. "Come on, help me pick out some diamond rings and necklaces."
"Damn, trying to act rich by hiring a female bodyguard?" Zhang Bin laughed heartily as he looked at Zi'er. At first, I thought she was someone important. Turns out she's just Qin Long's servant? I'm sure he just found some woman to satisfy his urges. After all, who would turn down easy money?
"I'll say it again, don't court death," Qin Long said, his gaze turning cold as he stared at Zhang Bin. "I don't want to lay a hand on you today. But if you keep barking like a mad dog, I'll pull your fangs out!"
"Is that so?" Zhang Bin taunted, shaking the "Destined for This Life" model ring in his hand. "This 'Destined for This Life' ring is only 88,000. Go on, order one and shock me."
Zhang Bin was certain Qin Long couldn't afford it. After all, my family lives next door to them; we know them very well. Even though I haven't been back in six months, I'd never believe the Tang family could make such a comeback in a short time and afford a high-end diamond ring. Impossible! Not even a novel would dare to write a plot like that.
"I haven't seen a ring I like yet," Qin Long said after examining the "Destined for This Life" ring. It's too gaudy. Xuewu definitely wouldn't like it.
Zhang Bin burst out laughing, and Lin Huahua frowned as well. Is this cripple really just messing with me?
"We don't sell the kind of junk you'd find at a street stall," Zhang Bin said with disdain, once again shaking the 88,000 plum blossom diamond ring in his hand. "You should go to one of those places to buy your cheap trinkets. Don't make a fool of yourself here! Tang Xuewu isn't worthy of such an expensive ring anyway."
"What I mean is, the price is too cheap, and the style is too flashy. Xuewu wouldn't like it," Qin Long retorted, his expression turning icy.
Hearing this, Zhang Bin was momentarily stunned.
"Young Master Qin, let me help you find one," Zi'er offered, stepping forward, but Qin Long stopped her with a wave of his hand.
"No need, Zi'er," he said, turning his gaze directly to Lin Huahua. "The best item is always the store's centerpiece. Bring out your best diamond ring and necklace for me to see."
"Qin Long, are you an idiot?" Zhang Bin snarled, clenching his teeth and glaring at him. "You probably can't even afford junk from a street stall, and you have the gall to demand to see our store's most prized piece? Can you even buy it?"
His loud question instantly drew the gazes of everyone nearby, all of them eager to watch the drama unfold.
Lin Huahua bit her red lip and said gently, "Sir, our store's treasure is worth almost a million. Are you sure you can afford it?"
"No problem. Just let me see it," Qin Long declared with an arrogant wave.
Zhang Bin sneered relentlessly, convinced Qin Long was just bluffing. The onlookers, however, were intrigued. A ring worth over a million wasn't something you saw every day. They were curious to see if this cripple on crutches was a genuine tycoon or just full of hot air.
A moment later, a crystal box was pushed out by two female attendants.
"WOW!"
The crystal box instantly captivated everyone. The ring inside boasted a diamond of at least five carats, surrounded by a host of brilliant gems that made it incredibly dazzling. Beside it, a matching deep blue sapphire necklace caught the eyes of countless young women, and even the men stared with wide eyes.
Qin Long nodded in satisfaction. The combination of opulence and understated elegance was genuinely captivating.
"Young Master, this is our shop's treasure," Lin Huahua explained enthusiastically. "The WSD series, 'Tender Love.' The ring's circular diamond symbolizes a lifetime of happiness."
Upon hearing this, the young women in the crowd looked on with stars in their eyes, as if they were ready to rush forward and snatch it. Their male companions, however, winced at the thought of the price. After all, this top-tier ring cost nearly a million.
"This one isn't bad," Qin Long commented with an indifferent wave.
"Young Master, if you're interested in a custom order, we have the 'White Gold Eternity' and 'Black Gold Luxury' series," Lin Huahua continued earnestly as Zi'er personally inspected the items. "Of course, the diamonds are all of the highest quality from the WSD 'Tender Love' collection. They are available in two, four, and six carats."
Qin Long seemed to only half-understand the detailed explanation.
"Well, I'm a bit short on time. I'm afraid I can't wait for a custom order," he said slowly after a brief pause.
"Damn it, you bottom-feeding scum! How can you know if a ring will fit without having it customized? Are you planning to buy the whole collection or something?" Zhang Bin exploded. "I told you so! This guy is just a poser. The moment he heard it's over a million, he got scared and showed his true colors." An engagement gift was a significant purchase; it wasn't like buying groceries where you could just grab anything.
"Young Master, if you buy it directly, it might not fit your beloved," Lin Huahua added urgently.
Qin Long took out his phone and opened a photo. It showed the hands of a peerless beauty, along with a full-body shot. He had secretly taken these pictures in advance.
