Chapter 217: Lin Wei Furiously Beats the Mistress

Sister Xin, if you want to repay the money early, I can cash out your portion first next Monday.

What do you mean? You don't intend to repay the money?

Whether you borrow for one day or three months, the interest is the same. Now the stock of Certain Easy is in an upward trend, likely to double again. Why would I rush to repay the money? Even if I lose it all, it's not like I can't afford to pay!

All right! Since you think it can still rise, I'll just keep playing along with you.

After Yexin's phone call ended, Chen Yang decided to accompany Lin Wei to the mall for shopping. These past few days, aside from having a great time at Disneyland for a day, the rest of the time was either spent opening bank accounts or trading stocks. They hadn't had a chance to properly explore the major shopping malls of Hong Kong.

Lin Wei wanted to buy a watch for Lin Jianguo. Chen Yang then took her to a Rolex boutique.

Upon entering the store, a dazzling array of watches was displayed in the showcase, glittering with an enchanting light.

A young, attractive clerk, seeing Lin Wei carrying a designer bag, immediately enthusiastically approached her and asked about her needs and preferences.

Upon hearing that Lin Wei wanted a watch suitable for a middle-aged man, he immediately recommended a Rolex President series gold diamond‑inlaid watch.

Chen Yang took a look; the watch's dial design was simple and elegant, its gold case complementing the sparkling diamonds set within, exuding a noble and luxurious aura. Even someone like him, who isn't particularly interested in watches, couldn't help but feel moved.

"This one, how much?" Chen Yang immediately decided to buy the watch.

The attractive clerk, hearing that Chen Yang had taken a liking to this watch, smiled and said, "Sir, this President series watch is a limited edition in our store; its price is forty thousand US dollars."

"Forty thousand dollars? That's too expensive; my dad would definitely not want it." Lin Wei frowned slightly. The watch was indeed nice, but Lin Jianguo's special status meant wearing it would surely attract criticism.

Just as Lin Wei hesitated, a hand suddenly reached out from beside her and snatched the Rolex watch from her hand.

"Honey, this watch would really suit my younger brother! Could you buy it for me?" A young woman in a pink Chanel dress, her figure graceful, held the Rolex watch she had snatched from Lin Wei, coquettishly urging the middle‑aged man beside her, whose hair was beginning to thin and show signs of balding. While speaking, she gazed at him with affectionate eyes.

"This watch is too expensive; your brother is still in high school, it wouldn't be appropriate." The middle‑aged man, having already heard the clerk quote the price for that Rolex watch, refused without hesitation.

"Honey, he's my only brother—how can you be unwilling to buy him a watch?" The young woman, unwilling to give up, continued to pout at the middle‑aged man.

The middle‑aged man hesitated a moment, then said, "Forty thousand dollars is too much; if my wife finds out, it won't be good. Let's talk about it again next month!"

"No, I want it now." The young woman hooked her arm around the middle‑aged man's arm, coquettishly, while gripping the Rolex watch tightly with her other hand.

"All right then!" Unable to withstand his lover's soft‑hard persuasion, the middle‑aged man finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

However, Lin Wei had no intention of letting a mistress snatch the watch she had set her eyes on. She grabbed the young woman's wrist, gave it a slight squeeze, and the other party immediately began crying for her mother and father.

Lin Wei seized the opportunity to snatch the watch back. She scolded the woman bluntly: "At your age, you could be doing anything decent, yet you choose to act like a vixen. How shameless!"

"Who are you scolding?" the young woman's face twitched slightly, but having been intimidated by Lin Wei's presence, she dared not rush forward to fight; instead she aggrievedly appealed to the accompanying middle‑aged man: "Honey, she's bullying me—hurry up and teach her a lesson!"

The middle‑aged man glanced at the tall, sturdy Chen Yang and dared not act. He could only say tactfully, "Both of you, Hong Kong is a law‑abiding society; if you don't listen to reason, I'll call the police."

Upon hearing that he intended to call the police, Chen Yang laughed and said, "Sir, if you don't want the whole world to know you're keeping a mistress outside, go ahead and report it!"

The middle‑aged man's face changed slightly. Not to mention the whole world finding out—even if his wife knew, life would become unbearable.

"Young man, you must have come from the mainland, right? I've heard incomes there are low; this Rolex watch would cost you at least ten years of your earnings. It's not worth it!" Seeing that threatening to call the police was useless, the middle‑aged man tried to reason with Chen Yang, appealing to both logic and emotion.

Chen Yang smiled: "Whether it's worth it or not is not for you to judge. We saw this watch first—first come, first served. I assume you understand that principle?"

The middle‑aged man fell silent at once. However, the young woman beside him would not relent. Turning to the store clerk, she said, "These country bumpkins from the mainland can't possibly afford such branded watches—hurry up and kick them out."

Chen Yang most despised people who look down on others; he was about to retort with a couple of sentences, but Lin Wei beat him to it, delivering a straight slap to the young woman's face.

"Shameless woman, being a mistress and still mouthy—you really deserve a beating!"

The young woman was dazed by the blow, and only after a while did she react. She lunged wildly at Lin Wei, intending to fight desperately, but before she could get close, Lin Wei kicked her, sending her sprawling face‑first in the dirt. Seeing she couldn't win and her lover offered no help, she could only collapse to the ground in tears, thrashing about.

"Help! Someone's been killed!"

Lin Wei ignored her, having the attractive clerk who had introduced the watch wrap it up directly.

The pretty clerk had originally been worried that Chen Yang and Lin Wei were just asking about the price casually, but when she saw Chen Yang produce an Industrial and Commercial Bank of China black‑gold card to pay, her attitude immediately became very respectful.

And the middle‑aged man's face also shifted slightly. To possess the highest‑tier credit card of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China at such a young age meant his family was surely either rich or noble. His company had many businesses on the mainland; offending someone like this would surely bring him no good days ahead…

The middle‑aged man hurriedly pulled the young woman, who was lying on the ground, to her feet, preparing to leave.

"No way—we Hong Kong people can't be bullied by mainland country bumpkins. I'm calling the police!" The young woman disregarded the middle‑aged man's obstruction, picked up her phone, and was about to call the police.

"Smack!"

The middle‑aged man, furious, slapped the young woman across the face and shouted sternly, "Have you made enough trouble? Do you still think I'm not embarrassing enough?"

The young woman suffered two consecutive slaps, re‑entering a dazed state. Yet this time she dared not cry anymore, for if the middle‑aged man grew angry, everything she currently possessed would be lost.

Chen Yang hadn't expected the middle‑aged man to be so reasonable; he gave him a thumbs‑up and said, "Sir, women ought to be disciplined properly; otherwise they're apt to cause trouble."

The middle‑aged man gave an embarrassed smile and apologetically told Chen Yang and Lin Wei, "Sorry for any offense just now; please forgive us."

Having said that, he forcibly pulled the young woman away.

Lin Wei, however, fixed Chen Yang with a fierce gaze and said, "Honey, just now you said you wanted to discipline which woman?"

"Definitely that mistress! Forget it—I'm magnanimous enough not to hold a grudge against a petty person; let her go."
