Chapter 609: Whose is more expensive?

Kong Kong Delong wanted to belittle Ye Chen in front of everyone, so he asked directly from the guest-of-honor table: "Master Ye, right? 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 Kong Delong sneered and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Master Ye, I am very curious about what birthday gift you have prepared for Miss Wanting today? As a 'True Dragon on Earth' like you, whatever you bring out must be extraordinary, right?"

Ye Chen laughed: "To be honest, I didn't even know Miss Wanting was holding a birthday banquet today. After finding out on short notice, I prepared a small gift in a rush. It's nothing more than a token of my heart; I can't compare to you, Mr. Kong."

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

So he bit down on Ye Chen and wouldn't let go, pressing him: "Master Ye, why be so humble? I just want to know what gift you actually prepared. Why don't you tell everyone or show it to us?"

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

Ye Chen smiled faintly: "Mr. Kong is truly clever; you're very close."

Upon hearing this, Kong Kong Delong immediately mocked: "Our family has a servant whose family does small commodity business in Yiwu. I heard him say that the 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 expensive, I can introduce this servant to you and provide you with a cheaper source of goods."

Song Rongyu showed a smile upon hearing this, and his father, Song Song Tianming, also couldn't help but chuckle, but the expressions of the others at the table were somewhat unsightly.

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

Chen Zekai almost subconsciously wanted to slap Kong 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.

But after thinking carefully, he suppressed this impulse.

Slapping this Kong Kong Delong would be very simple, but if he did it right 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 put Kong Kong Delong in his eyes at all.

If Kong 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 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 you quite unique, and Young Master Kong's generosity is truly astonishing."

Hearing Ye Chen flatter him, the smile on Kong 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 Kong Delong said arrogantly and coldly: "My Kong family is one of the top 10 families in Yanjing. 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 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 Kong Delong was instantly furious: "Where the fuck did you come from, you stinking loser, daring to act arrogant in front of me?"

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

Kong Kong Delong snorted coldly: "With so many people here as witnesses, if your gift is truly more expensive than mine, 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 Kong Delong frowned: "Master Ye, if your gift isn't more expensive than mine, what then?"

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

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

When Song Wanting heard this, she hurriedly tried to persuade Ye Chen: "Master Ye, why bother with him? 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, have always had full confidence in everything I do."

Seeing Song Wanting defending Ye Chen so much, Kong 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. With so many people here today, let's have them be witnesses. If the gift you gave Miss Song is truly more expensive than mine, I will swallow the ruby necklace I gave into my stomach. But if your gift isn't more expensive than mine, you won't be able to skip swallowing even a single piece of porcelain from this set!"

Ye Chen nodded and smiled: "In that case, please ask Miss Song to 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 I have to ask you to unwrap the gift I gave you in front of everyone to show them."

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

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

As soon as Kong Kong Delong saw the gift box in Song Wanting's hand, which was smaller than a ring box, he 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 Kong Delong was instantly furious.

This kid Ye Chen was clearly calling him vulgar.

So he snorted coldly: "Don't be a smart-ass 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 fucking eating this set of bone china tableware for sure!" ===== CHAPTER 610 =====
