Lin Xiang roared angrily, “Don’t be unreasonable!”

This guy was definitely a sore loser. But since Song Xi had been dealt with, Cui Si thought it would suffice for now.

Lin Xiang dragged Song Xi to his men. Then, he got into the car and left.

Song XI looked at Lin Xiang departing in disbelief. She cried and wanted to chase after him, but how could she outrun the car?

Lin Xiang’s men quickly surrounded her.

“Leyi, save me. I’ll be your plaything. Please, don’t let them touch me.”

Li Leyi looked on coldly as the scene unfolded. In the end, he patted Cui Si’s shoulder, signaling that it was time for them to get back in the car and go home.

Through the entire drive, Li Leyi’s face remained cold. Cui Si decided to stop by a night market and told him to get out.

Li Leyi looked at Cui Si in confusion. Why did she decide to come here?

“You didn’t look too happy so I brought you here to get something good to drown your sorrows. She’s just a woman anyway. There are plenty more out there. What kind of women do you like? Maybe I can introduce you to someone?”

Li Leyi shook his head. But before he could say anything, Cui Si had pulled him out of the car. The two of them randomly picked a large food stall and sat in it.

And as fate would have it, they coincidentally bumped into Zhan Cuihua and Chen Lin.

When Zhang Cuihua noticed Cui Si and Li Leyi, her eyes emanated hatred.

Cui Si felt a little nauseous when she saw them. She started to turn around, about to leave with Li Leyi.

“Hey, isn’t this the ex-girlfriend that I abandoned? Did you bring your gigolo out for a late-night snack? Why are you running? Since we’ve bumped into each other, let’s sit down and have a chat.”

Cui Si pretended not to have heard him as she continued to pull on Li Leyi’s hand to leave. They could eat anywhere, so there was no need to stay here and eat in disgust.

But Li Leyi grabbed Cui Si and sat her back down at an empty table.

This time, it was Cui Si’s turn to look at Li Leyi in confusion.

“Cui Si, don’t be anxious. You helped me just now. Now It’s time for me to help you take revenge.”

Chen Lin and Zhang Cuihua walked over with wine glasses in their hands and affectionate smiles for each other pasted on their faces.

Zhang Cuihua’s body was adorned with jewelry as if she was a walking display cabinet.

One of the pieces of jewelry she wore was a crystal necklace. Based on the design, the necklace appeared to be quite expensive.

“Cui Si, you can behave in any way you want. But you will always be a middle-class citizen.

“I mean, look at you. How can you not accessorize yourself before going out? You look like a pauper. Ugh, how embarrassing!”

Zhang Cuihua had her hand on her crystal necklace as she spoke.

Chen Lin laughed along mockingly. Even if she was rich, Cui Si would still look like a pauper.

“Babe, don’t you know? This poor person is used to living a poor life and doesn’t know how to dress up.”

Those in the crowd who overheard their conversation laughed as well.

Li Leyi stood up and looked at the crystal necklace around Zhang Cuihua’s neck.

“Director Zhang, although this crystal necklace of yours is valuable, it can’t compare to the Crystal of Love. Now that’s a rare treasure.”

Zhang Cuihua was confused. She had never heard of the Crystal of Love before.

Chen Lin’s expression changed slightly. Based on the way he was talking, could it be that the crystal was already in their possession?

Li Leyi noticed how clueless Zhang Cuihua looked and explained patiently.

“The Crystal of Love is a necklace made of two top-grade crystals, one big and one small. According to legend, those two crystals were relics of the love between two white tigers.

“They had spent decades together before they finally died together.

“They were discovered by an Italian crystal master who used what the tigers had left behind to make the Crystal of Love necklace. It is very expensive and there is only one in the world.”

Zhang Cuihua remained dumbfounded. Even an idiot would be able to understand that Li Leyi was basically saying that her crystal necklace was not worth much.

Chen Lin started to look a little embarrassed. A few of the people around them were his friends. He couldn’t afford to lose face at this moment.

“Oh? Since Mr. Li knows so much, then could this precious crystal necklace already be in your hands?”

Li Leyi shook his head slightly and gracefully pointed at Cui Si with his finger – she had it, according to him.

Chen Lin’s pupils constricted. It was impossible. He had been with Cui Si for so long and knew every single piece of jewelry she had.

Cui Si looked at Li Leyi in shock. This guy was not going to mess around again, was he?

How were they going to fool the despicable couple this time? She had never even heard of that damned Crystal of Love before.

Zhang Cuihua gritted her teeth and said, “Is that so? Then show it to me. I happen to have hired an appraisal master at a high price.”

Cui Si was just about to stand up and refute when Li Leyi smiled and said, “You want me to reveal it out here just like that?

“It’s such an expensive item. If it were to be damaged, then it would immediately lose its value.. Are you able to compensate if that happens?”
