Chapter 609: Whose is more expensive?

Kong Delong wanted to belittle Ye Chen in front of everyone, so he spoke up directly from the guest of honor table: "Master Ye, is it? I heard you have a nickname called 'True Dragon on Earth'. Is that true?"

Ye Chen smiled indifferently and said nonchalantly: "The so-called 'True Dragon on Earth' is just a nickname given by some friends in the Jianghu."

Kong Delong sneered and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Master Ye, I am very curious, what birthday gift did you prepare for Miss Wanting today? As a 'True Dragon on Earth' like you, what you bring out must be extraordinary, right?"

Ye Chen laughed: "To tell you the truth, I didn't even know Miss Wanting was holding a birthday banquet today. After finding out at the last minute, I prepared a small gift in a rush. It's nothing more than a token of my heart; it can't compare to you, Mr. Kong."

The more humble Ye Chen was, the more Kong Delong wanted to slap his face in public.

So he kept pressing Ye Chen, asking: "Master Ye, why be so humble? I just want to know what kind of gift you prepared. Why don't you tell everyone or show it to us?"

As he spoke, Kong Delong added: "By the way, since Master Ye is a Feng Shui master, let me guess first. Could it be that the gift Master Ye gave Miss Wanting is a piece of talisman paper blessed by you, or perhaps an amulet?"

Ye Chen smiled faintly: "Mr. Kong is truly smart; you are very close."

Upon hearing this, Kong Delong immediately mocked: "Our family has a servant whose family makes small commodities in Yiwu. I heard him say that those amulets wholesaled in the Yiwu small commodity market only cost a few cents each. I don't know how much Master Ye paid for his wholesale. If Master Ye's wholesale price is relatively high, I can introduce you to this servant and provide you with a cheaper source."

Song Rongyu showed a smile upon hearing this, and his father, Song Tianming, also felt like laughing, but the expressions of the others at the table were somewhat unpleasant.

After all, Ye Chen had always been highly esteemed by everyone. In their eyes, whether he was Master Ye or Young Master Ye, he was an existence incomparable and inviolable by ordinary people.

Now, this Kong Delong dared to challenge Ye Chen the moment he arrived, which made everyone feel somewhat displeased.

Chen Zekai almost subconsciously wanted to slap Kong Delong directly. This ignorant dog thing, daring to act arrogant in front of his own young master with a pair of dog eyes—he really is fucking blind.

However, after thinking carefully, he suppressed this impulse.

Slapping this Kong Delong would be very simple, but once he did it here, on the spot, it would very likely lead people to guess Ye Chen's identity.

Ye Chen, at this moment, was full of smiles.

He didn't take Kong Delong seriously at all.

If Kong Delong were sensible and kept to himself, he wouldn't mind letting him act arrogant here.

But since this guy was blind enough to provoke him, he would have to give him a taste of his own medicine.

So Ye Chen quietly instructed Chen Zekai to take out his phone and secretly record a video, then looked at Kong Delong and said with a smile: "Young Master Kong is truly a dragon among men. Seeing you for the first time today, I find Young Master Kong quite extraordinary, and your generosity is indeed something that amazes me."

Hearing Ye Chen flatter him, the smile on Kong Delong's face grew wider; he thought Ye Chen was admitting defeat to him.

But he didn't expect Ye Chen to immediately ask: "Young Master Kong just said that the necklace you gave is worth 20 million US dollars. I wonder if that is true or false?"

Kong Delong said coldly and arrogantly: "My Kong family is one of the top 10 elite families in Jingcheng. A mere 20-million-dollar necklace is not worth me faking."

Ye Chen nodded and smiled: "Then, Young Master Kong, take a guess, how much do you think the gift I gave Miss Song is worth?"

Kong Delong mocked: "Although I haven't seen what you gave, I guess it definitely won't exceed 10,000 yuan."

Ye Chen laughed: "Young Master Kong, to tell you the truth, the gift I gave not only exceeds 10,000 yuan, but it is also much more expensive than your necklace."

Upon hearing this, Kong Delong was instantly furious: "Where the hell did a stinky loser like you come from, daring to act arrogant in front of me?"

Ye Chen asked with a smile: "If the gift I gave is really more expensive than your necklace, then what do you say?"

Kong Delong snorted: "With so many people here as witnesses, if the gift you gave is really more expensive than the necklace I gave, I will eat this necklace on the spot."

Ye Chen clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Very good, then it's a deal."

Kong Delong frowned: "Master Ye, if the gift you gave isn't more expensive than mine, then what do you say?"

Ye Chen laughed: "If it's not more expensive than yours, I'll eat this set of tableware in front of me."

Upon hearing this, Kong Delong laughed and said: "This set of tableware is all bone china. If you can't eat it, what do you say?"

Ye Chen said indifferently: "If I really lose, even if this set of tableware is smashed, I will eat every single piece of it."

When Song Wanting heard this, she hurriedly tried to persuade Ye Chen: "Master Ye, why bother lowering yourself to his level? Even if you gave Wanting a piece of paper, in Wanting's eyes, it would be worth a thousand gold."

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "Miss Song, don't worry. I, Ye Chen, always have full confidence in what I do."

Seeing Song Wanting defend Ye Chen so much, Kong Delong felt a surge of annoyance.

Then, he slapped the table, stood up, and clapped: "Good! Master Ye truly has the demeanor of a master. There are so many people here today, so let's have them be witnesses. If the gift you gave Miss Song is really more expensive than the one I gave, I will swallow the ruby necklace I gave. But if your gift isn't more expensive than mine, you won't be able to swallow even one piece of porcelain less from this set of tableware!"

Ye Chen nodded and smiled: "Since that's the case, please have Miss Song take out the gift I gave."

Song Wanting, somewhat worried, took out the small gift box Ye Chen had given her.

She hadn't unwrapped this gift box yet, so she didn't know what was inside.

Ye Chen said apologetically to Song Wanting: "Miss Wanting, I'm sorry, but the gift I gave you has to be opened in front of everyone for them to see."

Song Wanting hurriedly said respectfully: "Master Ye, you are too polite."

Ye Chen laughed: "Then I'll trouble Miss Wanting to open this gift box in public."

Seeing the gift box in Song Wanting's hand, which was smaller than a ring box, Kong Delong sneered: "With such a small volume, even if you put a diamond inside, it won't be as valuable as my ruby."

Ye Chen laughed: "A diamond is just carbon. In my eyes, there is no essential difference between a diamond and a piece of coal, so why would I give Miss Wanting such a vulgar gift?"

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Kong Delong was instantly furious.

This kid Ye Chen is clearly calling him vulgar.

So he snorted: "Don't play word games here. Hurry up and let everyone see what the hell this gift of yours is! I really don't believe that something in such a small box can be more expensive than a 20-million-dollar ruby! You're definitely going to eat this set of bone china tableware!"
