Let's be honest, Han Lie wasn't all that bad. He was just a bit of a scumbag, but essentially, he was still kind-hearted...

Pfft!

...

After finishing their meal, the trio went straight to the Mandarin Oriental, where Pan Ge took Xi Luting around the exhibition while Han Lie waited to pay and collect the jewelry.

Having nearly cleared out the cash in his bank card, the Jade Leaf Bracelet finally belonged to tycoon Lie.

However, just before making the payment, little Lie encountered a real tycoon.

A big shot bought four pieces of jewelry: three from the high-end collection and one from the antique collection.

So, people actually buy antique jewelry?!

Han Lie was in the waiting room's lounge area and didn't see the precise details; he had only overheard a conversation between two nearby married women.

They mentioned a total of over 47 million spent.

But with matters like this, who really knows the truth? It's all guesswork, and the waters could be very deep.

While waiting, he saw another female celebrity.

Was it Liu Shishi?

Han Lie wasn't entirely sure. She looked familiar, and the assistant with her mentioned "Sister Shishi" during a phone call.

He took a good look when she took off her sunglasses. Her makeup was a bit heavy, her head-to-body ratio was excellent, but up close she couldn't compare to Dilraba, whom he had bumped into a few days before.

Is this what top celebrities are like?

In Han Lie's mind, the star-studded aura around celebrities suddenly vanished; they were no longer mysterious or special.

After making the payment, they arrived at the half-closed exhibition hall where Xi Luting was being dazzled and led around by Pan Ge, her collagen-filled delicate face looking a bit naive and confused.

The prices, easily in the tens of millions, had frightened her.

Yep, my little cucumber is still the best...

Han Lie approached with a smile, exchanged a glance with Pan Ge, and they both enjoyed teasing the clueless Luting together.

After a full circuit, Fang Dan took out the Jade Anklet and led the three of them to the VIP room for the final transaction.

Xi Luting was completely clueless throughout, and it was Han Lie's first time realizing how troublesome it was to purchase top-tier jewelry.

Product manuals, jewelry appraisal certificates, insurance, contracts, the delivery ceremony, after-sales explanation, membership confirmation...

After more than ten minutes of formalities, Han Lie became a freshly minted top-tier VIP of Cartier.

This was far more significant than being a Cartier VIP, which one could achieve by merely buying a Ballon Bleu watch. Of course, there was no special external identification; his status was reflected entirely in Cartier's internal hierarchy.

In the simplest terms: Han Lie now had the privilege to communicate directly with Cartier headquarters. If he desired any limited items or personalized designs, he only needed to send an email for a specialist to provide at-home service.

The next level required spending over ten million, which seemed easy enough—just one more high-end piece of jewelry.

Before leaving with the dumbfounded Xi Luting, Pan Ge casually wrapped the bracelet around her wrist.

Her skin was as white as snow, and adorned with a string of vibrant green jade leaves, she looked absolutely stunning.

The moment she accepted the gift, Han Lie's 5.76 million experience points were promptly credited to his account.

WOOHOO!

Taking off!

Han Lie couldn't stop grinning.

Xi Luting, already green with envy, became even more upset seeing Han Lie's expression.

She batted her eyes and suddenly clung to Han Lie, saying coquettishly, "Aww, I'm so tired from all this walking... Lie Lie, can you find us a place to rest for a bit?"

With a BIU, Pan Ge's ears perked up, and she warily eyed Xi Luting.

Little bitch, trying to play the beauty card?! Did you get my permission?!

Pan Ge felt it was time to assert herself...

****

And there I go, laughing until I cry again.
