Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 55: Chapter 55: A Big Shot Appears

Liu Tongxue was pursing his lips, trying not to smile.

When his classmates pressed him, he declared decisively, ”Weiwei’s is real. I saw the Chanel serial number! As for Li Qian’s... that fake bag doesn’t even have a serial number. I’m one hundred percent certain it’s a counterfeit!”

Ah!

”So Li Qian’s is a fake!”

Liu Tongxue’s expression was strange. ”Let me put it this way,” he said. ”Just based on this one bag, Weiwei’s husband could wipe the floor with everyone here! Heh, it’s a good thing he isn’t here. Otherwise, Zhang Haodong and Li Qian would be utterly humiliated!”

The classmates exchanged glances, and strange smiles suddenly appeared on their faces.

”We have to get Weiwei’s husband to come over later! This is a show we don’t want to miss!”

Zhang Haodong’s posturing and Li Qian’s foolish flaunting had already managed to piss everyone off.

All the classmates reached a tacit understanding.

They had to get Weiwei’s husband—that super-tycoon—to make an appearance!

So as soon as Han Biwei, Zhang Haodong, and their group returned, Liu Tongxue started egging her on. ”Weiwei, you should invite your husband to join us! Everyone wants to meet him.”

Han Biwei repeatedly declined, saying her husband was busy.

Yuan Jingjing couldn’t take it anymore. She snatched Han Biwei’s phone, found the contact labeled ”Hubby,” and dialed the number.

”Hello? I’m one of Weiwei’s classmates. We met at the school entrance earlier.”

Qin Tianxuan’s voice came through: ”Is this Yuan Jingjing? Where’s Weiwei? Is she okay?”

Han Biwei’s face flushed red as she desperately tried to snatch her phone back.

Yuan Jingjing smiled and had the others hold Weiwei back while she stepped aside. ”We’re at our class reunion, and we were hoping you could join us for dinner.”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, and then he asked, ”What does Weiwei think?”

”Of course Weiwei wants you to come! She’s just too shy to ask.”

Qin Tianxuan replied instantly, ”Send me the location. I’m on my way.”

Han Biwei covered her face, getting a little angry. ”Jingjing, Tianxuan doesn’t like these kinds of events. You’ve gone too far!”

Yuan Jingjing hugged her apologetically and whispered, ”I can’t stand seeing Zhang Haodong bully you like this. Wasn’t your husband a soldier? Let him come and put them in their place!”

As she spoke, she proudly gave a brief introduction of Qin Tianxuan’s background.

Li Qian rolled her eyes. ”A retired grunt? Weiwei, have your standards really dropped that low?”

Zhang Haodong sat there haughtily, sensing a good opportunity to show off. ”Whatever,” he said. ”He’s still Weiwei’s husband. Even if he’s broke and powerless, I can afford to treat him to one meal.”

Except for an oblivious Yuan Jingjing, all the other classmates at the table wore strange smiles.

’Heh heh, let’s just wait and see how you end up crying, Zhang Haodong!’

A short while later, Qin Tianxuan appeared, walking over slowly.

His tall, slender figure and profound eyes gave him an indescribable aura.

The women at the table stared, their eyes wide. ”He’s so handsome!”

The men, however, all shot to their feet, rushing forward one by one to shake his hand and greet him.

The scene left Han Biwei, Zhang Haodong, and Li Qian stunned.

’What’s wrong with these old classmates? They’re acting like they’re meeting some VIP, even bowing as they shake his hand?’

’How ridiculous.’

Han Biwei, however, was touched. ’They must be doing this because they can’t stand Zhang Haodong,’ she thought. ’They’re being so polite to Qin Tianxuan to help me save face.’

But she had no idea that the group, led by Liu Tongxue, was genuinely filled with reverence.

’A twenty-million-yuan bag... Could an ordinary person afford that?’

’And someone who could afford a twenty-million-yuan luxury bag just as a gift for his wife... could he possibly be an ordinary person?’

Qin Tianxuan sat down next to Yuan Jingjing, his tone unhurried. ”Allow me to introduce myself. My surname is Qin. You are all Weiwei’s classmates; thank you for organizing this get-together. I don’t get out to gatherings much, so I’m not familiar with the etiquette. Please bear with me.”

His voice was magnetic, his bearing impeccable, and he carried a strange sense of authority.

Zhang Haodong felt his presence being overshadowed.

’Shit, so what if he’s handsome?’ he thought. ’I’m way richer than him!’

He grit his teeth and gave Li Qian a subtle nudge.

Li Qian, getting the message, immediately spoke up. ”We were just talking about Weiwei’s bag. It looks exactly like my authentic one. It must be a high-quality replica, right? Where did you get it? East Gate Market, or some little shopping center?”

Qin Tianxuan seemed a bit taken aback. ”One of my subordinates picked it out. And yes, it’s definitely authentic.”

His words were brief and to the point.

Li Qian laughed internally. ’Still trying to act tough? Look at your shabby appearance. I’m going to make sure you and Han Biwei are thoroughly embarrassed today!’

She played her trump card, pulling out her phone and opening an email.

”This is an official email from Chanel. I made a special inquiry. The ’White Diamond Deep Love’ model is a global limited edition of four pieces. As of today, only one has been sold!”

Head held high with pride, Li Qian sneered, ”So please tell me, how could yours possibly be authentic?”

Qin Tianxuan looked at her as if she were daft. ”If only one has been sold and Weiwei’s is real, then yours must be the fake.”

’This woman is an idiot,’ he thought. ’It’s such a simple problem. My daughter Niannian could figure it out. Why is this woman in a qipao asking such a stupid question?’

SWISH!

Li Qian’s face instantly turned purple with rage.

All the other classmates were stifling their laughter. Only Yuan Jingjing looked anxious, tugging lightly at Weiwei’s sleeve. ”Tell your husband to quit while he’s ahead. Li Qian isn’t someone you can just brush off!”

Sure enough, Li Qian exploded. ”Mr. Qin, you’re humiliating me! We’re not letting this go. You’d better explain yourself!”

A glint flashed in Qin Tianxuan’s eyes. He turned directly to Yuan Jingjing and asked, ”Why is she always looking for trouble?”

Before Yuan Jingjing could speak, Liu Tongxue leaned in and whispered, ”Mr. Qin, don’t you get it? This is a contest of wealth, a chance to show off. They’re targeting Weiwei!”

It dawned on Qin Tianxuan.

Across the table, Li Qian and Zhang Haodong were both glaring at him, aggressive and unrelenting.

Qin Tianxuan ignored them, took out his phone, and stepped away from the table.

Yuan Jingjing felt a pang of anxiety. ’This is all my fault,’ she thought. She got up and quietly followed him.

Then she overheard Qin Tianxuan on the phone. ”Chanel, the White Diamond Deep Love bag. Have the remaining three sent to the Celestial Dome Hotel. Yes, as soon as possible. A hundred million? Fine. Buy them all.”

He hung up, and as he turned, he saw Jingjing standing there, utterly dumbfounded and petrified in place.
