Urban Ace Bodyguard

Lin Hai listened and scrutinized the woman before him carefully.

The sheer and hazy dress gave off a dreamy feeling, and with the support of her great figure, indeed, it could attract quite a few men.

However, her thin red lips suggested that such people tend to be callous and faithless. Those cold eyes conveyed not just a hint of affectation but more ambitiously, desire.

"This is Dong Jiuxiang, one of the Five Beauties from Hua University that Shuishui once mentioned?"

It must be said, the perfume she wore was indeed enticing and suited her nickname quite well.

"Dare to compete?" Dong Jiuxiang looked at Lin Hai challengingly.

Lin Hai smiled lightly, finding it quite uninteresting.

But women like Dong Jiuxiang were clearly relentless.

"Heh, I was too naive. A person carrying an LV bag lowering themselves to argue with a little security guard."

Having said that, Dong Jiuxiang deliberately flaunted her handbag.

Lin Hai was also puzzled; there always seemed to be people who felt vastly superior.

Who gave you that sense of superiority?

Especially since people should not forget their roots, at best you're just a girl from an ordinary family, alright?

Seeing that Lin Hai did not show the "inferiority" expression she expected,

Dong Jiuxiang instead felt even angrier.

Especially Lin Hai's smile, which in her eyes, became provocative.

"I'm actually quite curious, you dress in rags, suffer discrimination and easily get bullied, but you still act like you can't remember the slights and insist on showing that annoying smile." Dong Jiuxiang said spitefully.

She loathed why someone who obviously lived at the bottom of society would still wear a sunny smile. Did it make them appear strong? Hmph!

"When life tells you that there are a thousand reasons to cry, some people will hide in a corner and weep, but there are others who will tell life they have ten thousand reasons to smile."

Lin Hai replied with a smile.

Ruoshuang blinked her bright eyes, secretly surprised, "Wow, brother-in-law can actually say something so philosophical."

Dong Jiuxiang was taken aback, not expecting a penniless loser to say such things?

Moreover, Lin Hai's tone exuded a strong confidence from the inside out, a natural result of self-assurance.

That confidence didn't seem to be an exaggerated facade.

"Some people walk, yet have four or five villas, some dress in street stall clothes, yet own bank cards worth millions, some eat spicy hotpot, maybe celebrating just having made tens of millions, others still use knock-off domestic phones without upgrading, but have just switched to a limited edition Palamera sports car."

"Don't measure others' capabilities with your own values, what you consider flaunting might genuinely be of no interest to me."

After saying that, Lin Hai casually picked up a set of Star Moon Jade Bodhi Beads priced at five hundred thousand.

Dong Jiuxiang was again astonished, and so was the man beside her.

How could a penniless loser speak such philosophy? Could this guy be a dark horse?

"Hey, if you can't afford it, don't touch it, you'll have to pay if you break it!" a salesperson said to Lin Hai.

"Uh, then I'd better not touch."

Lin Hai retracted his hand.

Dong Jiuxiang and the man were speechless again. Was this guy really a penniless loser?

A feeling of dissatisfaction rose within her.

She hated people with the attitude of Lin Hai, just like that transfer student Tao Shuishui at school, who, despite dressing plainly, seemed to have the air of an upscale, high-class princess.

"Humph, Honey, don't you like me? Those Bodhi beads worth five hundred thousand, I'll take them."

Dong Jiuxiang pointed at the beads that Lin Hai had just reached for.

"Sure!" The man nodded, his face lit with excitement. This was his chance to show off in front of his goddess; five hundred thousand really wasn't much to him.

"Salesperson, please wrap up those five hundred thousand beads for me."

After the man spoke, he noticeably felt Xiangxiang's attitude towards him improve quite a bit, his heart swelling with joy, and he even wanted to thank Lin Hai for providing a stepping stone for him.

Dong Jiuxiang took the wrapped-up Bodhi beads worth five hundred thousand from the server and gave Lin Hai a provocative glance.

"Brother-in-law, show some strength, they're slapping your face right here," Ruoshuang couldn't stand it anymore.

It's just a mere five hundred thousand, such a face-slap is not worth it.

Lin Hai, however, showed no anger. His gaze swept across the entire store, contemplating that the gifts for the CEO and Xia Chuqing might not have to be the most expensive, but the materials had to be the best.

Especially a material that must meet the characteristics and standards for infusing with Gang Qi.

"Hmph, stalling for time. Dare to follow my purchase? If not, get lost immediately," Dong Jiuxiang snorted coldly.

Found it!

Lin Hai smiled and pointed at the two sets of Star Moon Bodhi Beads hanging at the top of the store to the server, "Those two, wrap them up for me, I'll buy them."

Dong Jiuxiang and the man couldn't help but follow Lin Hai's direction with curiosity.

They wanted to see how much this guy was going to spend.

They only glanced once and the look in their eyes changed.

"The price tag is three million five hundred thousand each..."

"This..."

Because the items were hung at the very top, very few people noticed them.

And with such a price, it was ridiculously expensive. Three million five hundred thousand for something like a bracelet without any brand name, it's not worth it.

"This poor sod can't possibly be showing off and bluffing, right?" Dong Jiuxiang looked down on Lin Hai even more in her mind.

The man was also slightly surprised.

The server, however, said sarcastically, "Don't say I didn't warn you, it says three million five hundred thousand up there, not three hundred and fifty."

Ruoshuang was also shocked. Could brother-in-law be serious? Doesn't he only have one million in cash in his account?

"Are you sure you want to buy this?"

The server asked again.

Everyone present was also waiting for Lin Hai to speak, to see if he was really going to make the purchase.

"Sure!"

Lin Hai spoke indifferently, his tone as casual as if he was buying a bottle of mineral water in the supermarket, as if it wasn't something worth three million five hundred thousand.

"Swipe the card first, no need to show off."

"Here's my card."

Lin Hai took out his card proactively.

"What kind of crappy card is this?" The server asked puzzled.

A pitch-black card, covered in cumin seasoning from roasted lamb skewers, it can't possibly be a bus card, right?!

Dong Jiuxiang also showed a look of contempt.

But when Ruoshuang saw that card, she seemed to have pondered something.

And that man, upon catching sight of the card for a moment, could no longer move his gaze away, and even his complexion started to look ugly.

"Heh, doesn't matter what card it is, just swipe it,"

Lin Hai said with a smile.

Two items, a total of seven million.

Not to mention ordinary people, even those nouveau riche wouldn't frown over buying a couple of bracelets.

The server, half-believing and half-doubting, took out the POS machine, still doubtful that the dingy old card had seven million.

Looking at Lin Hai, who was still composed, could it be real?

Swipe the card, enter the password, and the transfer is completed.

Transfer... successful!

"Sss—" The server, upon seeing the words "Transfer Successful", bulged his eyes out. The exaggerated surprise on his face was extreme, his jaw almost dropped.
