Chapter 299 - 0299: If We Lose
From the crowd, someone shouted, "Look, a loser trying to stand up for Miss Tang. Come and check this out, everyone."
As his voice fell, others began to laugh along, their mirth filled with disdain and contempt.
"Wow, someone’s trying to be a toad lusting after a swan’s meat."
"Pfft! Trying to show off with no sense of his own worth. The cost of all his clothes combined probably isn’t even worth as much as Young Master Shen’s underwear, hahaha."
More and more unpleasant remarks emerged around, but Chu Ge stood there with an unperturbed, breezy demeanor, hands in his pockets, oblivious to their comments.
"Kid, which gang are you from?" Wu Yong narrowed his eyes, examining Chu Ge up and down. He had felt a strong disruptive spiritual power just now, coming from this man’s direction, but the man in front of him looked utterly ordinary.
Chu Ge glanced at him indifferently, "What does that have to do with me appraising the stone for her?"
"Heh, it may not concern us, but I’d advise you not to overestimate your abilities." Wu Yong chuckled, then added, "I know youngsters these days like to seize every chance to climb up the ladder, but the Tang Family is not something a nobody like you can touch."
Wu Yong said this out of genuine concern because he knew very well that for big families like the Tang and Shen, if you took their money for a job and failed, you’d be lucky to escape with mere injuries; at worst, it could cost you your life.
Shen Congwen, however, felt differently. He looked at Chu Ge, his eyebrows furrowed, "Since you want to appraise the stone for Tang Xin, you should put down a stake, right?"
