His face twitched and he wore a scary expression.
“Why? What’s so good about this boy toy? He scams you of your money and relies on you. What’s so good about a guy like this?” Zhao Changfeng roared. His expression was savage.
“A guy like him is useless scum. Look at this. Do you think he can afford to give you such an expensive present? I don’t think he can afford a present worth a thousand yuan if he’s not using your money.”
His outburst had attracted the attention of everyone in the restaurant.
Some people furrowed their brows, while others looked toward the direction of Zhao Changfeng’s finger and looked at Tang Hao with disdain.
Everyone thought that a man who relied on a woman’s money was useless.
They then focused their gazes on Qin Xiangyi next to him and collectively gasped.
All the men showed expressions of indignation as they looked at the couple with admiration and envy.
A boy toy that relied on women could find himself such a beautiful woman. There was no justice in this world! Why were they not as lucky?
“You… Zhao Changfeng!” Qin Xiangyi straightened her brows. She slammed the table and was about to stand up.
Tang Hao held her back and said calmly, “Who says that I can’t afford to give her presents? I won’t give her trash like what you gave her. I can’t be bothered with mere diamond necklaces.”
Zhao Changfeng was taken aback when he heard that. Then, he laughed loudly.
He could only find it funny that a boy toy could boast that his million-yuan diamond necklace was trash.
He had never heard such a funny joke in his life.
‘Is this kid crazy? Why would he make such a nonsensical claim?’
Even Qin Gang burst out laughing. That kid was too much of a boast. The typical person would not be able to afford a million-yuan diamond necklace. Only hundred-millionaires would dare give a present of that value on their first date!
People sitting all around them also started laughing.
“Alright, if you think that my present is trash, I’d like to see what you give her!” Zhao Changfeng smirked.
“Then you’d better watch closely!” Tang Hao said calmly.
Qin Xiangyi furrowed her brows as she looked at Tang Hao.
Tang Hao lifted his hand that had been under the table. A flat, purple wooden box appeared in his hand. It was rectangular in shape and looked quite big.
The three people were surprised. They did not know where Tang Hao pulled the item from. Soon, they ignored that point and focused their attention on the wooden box.
“What kind of trash is this?” Zhao Changfeng chuckled after examining the wooden box. “Let me tell you, don’t try to scam us with some broken garbage.”
Tang Hao did not say anything. He placed the wooden box on the table and pushed it toward Qin Xiangyi.
“Open it!” He said gently.
“This is…” Qin Xiangyi mumbled, then opened the lid of the box.
A clear, green light appeared from within the box.
Everyone was shocked when they saw the contents of the box.
The restaurant fell into a deathly silence.
Chapter 111 - A Despicable Man

A dazzling ray of green light shone from within the box and caught everyone’s attention.
In the middle of a box was a beautiful, awe-inspiring necklace made of jade beads. Each of those jade beads was clear and flawless. It shimmered and gleamed under the morning sunlight.
The beauty of the necklace was breathtaking. It looked as though it had come out of a dream.
Next to the necklace was a pair of bracelets, a pair of pendant earrings and a ring. They all shone with the same majestic beauty.
“This… This is…?”
Qin Gang was at first disdainful and thought that the kid was bluffing. His jaw went slack when he turned over to look. His eyes were opened wide and round and transfixed on the necklace.
Zhao Changfeng was also dumbfounded as he looked incredulously at the contents of the box.
He had to admit that the set of ornaments was too beautiful. He was stunned at first glance. From the appearance alone, the set of ornaments had already beaten his diamond necklace.
He looked at the material and saw that it was jade.
How was that possible though? The price of a set of jade ornaments would have been astronomical. Even he could not afford it.
Qin Xiangyi exclaimed in surprise. Her beautiful eyes shone with infatuation.
As a woman, she was completely vulnerable to a set of ornaments of this beauty.
“This… This is jade? It must have been expensive, right?” She furrowed her brows.
Tang Hao nodded.
Zhao Changfeng’s face darkened as he smirked. “Hmph! You call this jade? This must be some flea market bootleg. Can a boy toy like you afford to buy real jade?
“This isn’t worth anything! How can you compare this to my diamond necklace?”
As he looked at the box with disdain, he lifted his right hand and swept at the box, planning to smack it away. “This is nothing but trash!” He cursed.
“Stop!” Qin Gang next to him suddenly yelled. He reached out with his left hand and grasped Zhao Changfeng’s hand tightly.
“Why are you stopping me, Brother Qin? Trash like this doesn’t belong on the table,” Zhao Changfeng said angrily.
Qin Gang’s expression was grim. “Are you blind, Changfeng? This is the ultimate type of jade: Glass-type emperor jade. Nothing comes close in comparison,” Qin Gang said with some difficulty.
He found the entire sequence of events incredulous. Nonsensical, even.
Unfortunately, he had to admit that it was true. He was a lover of precious stones and was well-learned in jade. He could not have been mistaken.
Zhao Changfeng trembled. The hand that was held in mid-air stiffened then trembled slightly.
“This… can’t be real. I don’t believe it…”
His face was pale and he was in a daze.
He had heard of glass-type emperor jade, the ultimate type of jade. How would a boy toy be able to afford it?
What shocked him more was that all the jade ornaments in the box looked the same. That meant that they were all made of emperor jade.
That was absolutely impossible!
Glass type emperor jade fetched an impossibly high price because of its rarity. A single inlay made of the material would have cost at least ten million yuan. So much jade would have cost hundreds of millions!
How would a boy toy be able to afford that?
“Wow!” Everyone around them exclaimed.
All the people stood up from their seats and crowded around the table.
All the diners in the restaurant were rich and had some knowledge about precious stones. They knew how rare and expensive emperor jade was.
“F*ck me, it’s really emperor jade! That set of ornaments must’ve cost hundreds of millions!”
“Oh heavens, that’s too beautiful!”
Zhao Changfeng stood stiffly on the spot. His face was as pale as a sheet as his entire body trembled.
He was feeling slightly awkward, and even a little afraid. If he had swept the box off the table and the jade ornaments fell on the floor, that would have impacted him financially. He might even go bankrupt because of that.
“I can’t believe it! I can’t believe it!” He mumbled repeatedly. The muscles on his face spasmed and contorted. “This must not be yours. Right, they must belong to Xiangyi.”
Qin Xiangyi rolled her eyes at him and said coldly, “I’m not that rich. Even if I have the money, I won’t spend it all on jewelry.”
Then, she turned to complain at Tang Hao. “Why did you buy this, Lil Tang? This must have been expensive!”
She did not understand it either. She knew that Tang Hao had money, but not to the extent where he could buy jewelry wor
th several hundred million yuan.
“It’s not expensive at all!” Tang Hao smiled. “I got the jade from a stone-gambling store, then I commissioned Master Wu Qifeng to carve this set of ornaments for you.
“I wanted to present them to you in a few days, but this seems like the right time.”
“Wow!” Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
The people around them discussed the insanely good luck the boy must have possessed to win such a rare piece of jade. At the same time, they were in awe of his courage. It was something worth several hundred million after all!
“Wu Qifeng?” Qin Gang mumbled as his expression changed. “It’s him. No wonder… Master Wu is a renowned craftsman. You can afford to commission him?”
His impression of Tang Hao had utterly changed.
He admitted that he had mistaken the kid’s identity. How was he a boy toy that relied on women? The set of jewelry alone was worth more than his combined net worth.
He was ashamed of himself for his impudence earlier.
“Tang kid… no, I mean, Lil Bro Tang. You’re awesome! You must be well-versed in stone gambling to win such an incredibly rare piece!” Qin Gang said.
“It’s nothing special!” Tang Hao said humbly.
Qin Xiangyi noticed the incredibly crowded atmosphere around them. She quickly shut the box and kept it away.
“Lil Bro Tang, um… I’m sorry. It’s my fault!” Qin Gang said guiltily.
Zhao Changfeng became angry when he saw Qin Gang’s changed attitude. He grunted, then glared at Tang Hao. He rose from his seat and prepared to leave.
He had just left his seat when he turned around and sat down again.
Tang Hao chuckled. “Aren’t you leaving?”
Zhao Changfeng was furious. He stared daggers at Tang Hao.
“Alright, enough fooling around. We’ve already ordered our meals anyway. Let’s eat!” Qin Gang tried to play the mediator.
The atmosphere became awkward in an instant.
Ten minutes later, their food arrived. Everyone lowered their heads and ate without a word.
Halfway through the meal, Zhao Changfeng abruptly stood up from his seat and said, “I’m going to the washroom!” Then, he left the table in big strides.
Tang Hao did not pay attention at first. Soon, he heard Zhao Changfeng whispering in the washroom.
“Hey! Is this Brother Bao?”
Tang Hao was immediately piqued, and he paid more attention to the conversation.
Chapter 112 - Brother Bao Kneels
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Hey, it’s Young Master Zhao! I was wondering who it might be!” A hoarse voice was heard over the phone. “I say, Young Master Zhao, aren’t you in the Provincial City? Why are you back? Is there something that made you look for me?”
“I’m in a bit of trouble, Brother Bao,” Zhao Changfeng said, “I need a favor. Don’t worry, I’ll reward you greatly after the deed is done.”
Brother Bao laughed and said heartily, “Haha, Young Master Zhao, don’t be so formal with me! What problem might you have? Is there anything that I can’t solve in the entire Westridge District?”
“I want to humiliate someone. He’s a love rival,” Zhao Changfeng said.
“Oh! Someone of your level can have a love rival?” Brother Bao laughed. “Don’t tell me that he’s some VIP?”
“Nah, it’s just a boy toy with a streak of luck. I’ll send you my location soon. You should bring your people here as fast as you can. When you’re here, humiliate him and ruin his reputation.
“There’s only four of us here, and he’s a teenager. You won’t mistake him for someone else.”
Brother Bao laughed. “That’s easy. It’s just making a fool out of him, right? That’s my specialty. You’ve got the right person on the job.”
After that, he ended the call.
Then, Zhao Changfeng’s sinister voice was heard. “You filthy kid, you dare oppose me? I’ll make sure that your reputation is ruined!”
Tang Hao smirked and his eyes flashed with disdain when he heard that.
Little tricks like those posed no threat to him.
“What an awful character! Looks like he’s used to tricks like these.’ Tang Hao thought.
He said nothing and continued eating his lunch.
Zhao Changfeng returned to the table soon. As he sat down, he stole a sinister glance at Tang Hao.
Everyone finished their meal about twenty minutes later.
Qin Gang felt as though a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. He stood up and called for the waiter. After he paid the bill, he said to the other three people. “Let’s go!” After that, he took the lead and left the restaurant.
Zhao Changfeng glanced at his phone, then stood from his seat and left.
“Let’s go!” Tang Hao held Qin Xiangyi’s hand and went outside, pretending to be oblivious to what would soon happen.
After the four people exited the restaurant, Qin Gang said, “I’m sorry for what happened today, Little Sister. I’ll send Changfeng back and come look for you.”
Then, he turned to look at Zhao Changfeng and said, “It’s my bad, Changfeng. Let’s go!”
Then, he walked together with Zhao Changfeng toward the parking lot.
Tang Hao and Qin Xiangyi followed behind.
All of a sudden, a group of people appeared from the side. They rushed at them menacingly and they all looked like hooligans. The man in the lead had a tattoo on his neck and looked intimidating.
All of them carried steel bats and looked hostile.
The hooligan in the lead roared. “You damned kid! You dare mess with my woman and impregnate her, and now you’re trying to evade responsibility?
“I’ve been looking for you and I’ve finally found you. Where are you going to escape this time? If I don’t break your legs today, my surname isn’t Wu!”
The roar had attracted the attention of everyone on the street. All of them turned to look.
Qin Gang and Zhao Changfeng also stopped walking.
“What’s going on?” Qin Gang turned around to look at the source of the commotion.
Meanwhile, a sinister grin flashed on Zhao Changfeng’s face.
Tang Hao ignored all that and continued walking.
Wu Bao was instantly furious. “Hold up right there, you damn bastard! I’m talking to you! Are you deaf?”
He then led the group of hooligans and rushed toward Tang Hao.
Tang Hao stopped walking and turned around. He scanned the group of hooligans and said, “Were you talking to me?”
Wu Bao was taken aback when he saw Tang Hao’s face. He thought the kid looked somewhat familiar, as though they had met before.
“My eyes must be playing tricks on me!” Wu Bao mumbled to himself.
Then, he pointed a finger at Tang Hao and said savagely, “I’m talking to you, you damn bastard! Why, you dare to do it but don’t have the balls to admit it? Don’t tell me that you’ve forgotten all about that night with my little brother’s girl?
“You sure have balls, kid! You dare to touch my little brother’s girl? I’m not Brother Bao if I don’t teach you a lesson today!”
Then, he turned to look at Qin Xiangyi next to Tang Hao and was stunned.
“Not bad, kid! You’ve found yourself a beautiful woman!” Wu Bao smirked.
Then, he furrowed his brows. He thought that the woman looked familiar and wondered where he had met her before.
He could not find an answer.
“Who are you? You must have been mistaken.” Qin Xiangyi frowned. She did not believe that Tang Hao was involved in it.
“I’m mistaken? Hah, how can that be! I’d recognize this kid even if he were turned into ashes. Let me tell you, beautiful lady, you ought to leave this loser as soon as you can.
“This kid is a serial lecher. He impregnated a woman but tried to run away. He’s an animal in human clothing. You must be blind
to fall for him.” Wu Bao smirked.
Everyone around them exclaimed in surprise.
Qin Gang’s face darkened and his expression became sinister.
Meanwhile, Zhao Changfeng watched all that with glee.
He walked up to the crowd and said indignantly, “Tang kid, I didn’t expect that you’re human scum! Did you hear that, Xiangyi? How can an animal like him be a match for you?”
Qin Xiangyi frowned and said coldly, “Stop spewing nonsense, Zhao Changfeng. I trust Lil Tang’s character. There must be something fishy going on.”
Zhao Changfeng was furious. “How can there be something fishy going on? Didn’t you hear them say that this Tang kid impregnated another woman and ran away? Someone as irresponsible as he can’t be considered a man at all.”
Qin Gang’s face was dark as he walked in front of the group. “What’s going on, Tang kid? Let me ask you, is this true?”
Zhao Changfeng smirked. “He’s not going to admit to something so shameful! They’re already looking for him, so how can it be false?”
Qin Gang’s face became more and more sullen.
The crowd of onlookers around them grew in size.
“I didn’t expect such a handsome guy would be human scum!”
“Impregnate a woman but doesn’t want to be responsible? People like him ought to be struck by lightning!”
Everyone looked on with indignation.
“Come with us, you filthy kid!” Wu Bao laughed and reached out to grab Tang Hao’s shirt collar.
Tang Hao smiled gently, then finally opened his mouth. “Brother Bao, right? Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten who I am?”
Wu Bao was stunned. ‘Who the hell are you?’ was what he nearly blurted.
“Of course I remember you! Didn’t I just say that I’d recognize you even if you’re turned into ashes? Why would I come to look for you if I don’t remember who you are? Don’t act dumb, kid. I told you that it’s useless!”
“If I remember correctly, you’re Chen Sandao’s lackey, right? Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten about the incident that night outside of Beyond Heaven Restaurant?” Tang Hao said.
