Mayor's Son

There was a type of people in the world, who thought that they were above everyone else and everything they did was right. They would put on a life savior's posture and would use the excuse of doing it for other people to interfere in their lives. If there was anything unsatisfactory, they would think that others owed them.

The man lecturing Song Ye was exactly that type of person.

Originally, Song Ye did not think of caring about him, but this man got even more excited as he continued. When everyone turned their attention to him, he held his head up high. "Little kid, if you don't know much, you should learn more and look around more. Don't be so indignant. The piece in front of you is a coarse yellow stone with loose quality, and there are even some cracks on it. Its chances of producing green would be very low.

"In comparison, the black sandpaper material is thin, and the color is nice so it should be your top choice to purchase. Even though the price of two million dollars would shock people, I believe that it will be worth it."

The man said everything logically and made the new gem speculators very impressed. Their humble look made the man more than satisfied as he side-glanced at the child and smiled happily. "Do you understand?"

Song Ye looked down and saw that the black sandpaper material the man kept boasting about was really the one that she checked previously. She asked calmly, "Since you have such a good view of it, did you bid for it?"

"That's right." To show off how wealthy and generous he was, the man nodded and was very arrogant.

"Are you sure that it will produce green?" Song Ye asked again and was taking his words lightly.

"Haha, eighty to ninety percent. Anyway, it will be much better than that one." The man laughed out loud. When he bid three million dollars for it, he felt that it was very risky. However, after talking to Song Ye, he regained his confidence.

After hearing his answer, Song Ye raised her eyebrows and let out a small smile on her lips. Without replying, she walked away coldly.

When the man saw the situation, he knitted his brows tightly. "Hmph, you're really stupid and hopeless." After saying so much, she was still not convinced; and she would definitely not have a good future.

As the onlookers went their own ways, Song Ye was still loitering around the materials and rapidly picked two good-quality stones in the end.

Seeing that it was past meal time, Zhao Zhen packed his stuff from nearby and rushed over. "Are you starving? Let's go eat. I picked two pieces out from the other end."

Song Ye nodded, and before they left, she checked the two pieces he picked out. They were not very big and not very expensive; one of them had a melon green, but the other was skin green.

She calculated the costs and profits and felt that they would not make a loss so she did not pour cold water on his excitement and allowed him to buy it.

When Zhao Zhen saw that she had spent four million dollars on her bids, his face turned green as he hurriedly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He was frightened by Song Ye's generosity, but he had seen Song Ye's amazing ability to speculate stone so he swallowed all his questions.

As the reputation of the jade material market in Stone City went far and wide, there would be countless tourists coming over every year to look at the products. The local restaurant business developed well, and many restaurants were offering many specialties.

Originally, Zhao Zhen wanted to bring Song Ye to a nearby restaurant to eat, but on the way there, he received a call from Xu Zihang, saying that he booked a place at Tian Xin Pavilion.

"Does Young Master Xu want to apologize to you?" Ever since he learned about Xu Zihang's identity, Zhao Zhen changed the way he called him like the rest to express his respect. However, he was very curious about his relationship with Song Ye. It was weird for a mayor's son to be so respectful to Song Ye.

Song Ye shook her head. "Let's go." After last night, Xu Zihang did not contact her. Perhaps he wanted to explain to her face to face.

Tian Xin Pavilion was one of the top hotels in Stone City as it had a one-stop service for restaurants and hotels. All those who could spend money were all higher-ups in society.

Once Song Ye entered the door, a waitress immediately came to serve them and brought them up the elevator to their room to eat.

When the room door opened, Xu Zihang immediately stood up from his chair. He was still wearing a suit, which looked very formal on him. He pulled the chair for Song Ye, and when she sat down, he suddenly lowered his head towards Song Ye. "Sorry, Boss."

Boss.

Song Ye's eyes moved and landed her gaze on him. If she did not remember wrongly, this was the first time Xu Zihang called her that.

The main character's nonchalance startled Zhao Zhen to no end as he saw their actions. Boss? What kind of show were they playing?

Xu Zihang waited for an entire night and was so fiery and anxious until his lips were about to blister. How could he still care about the person beside him? Seeing Song Ye keep quiet, he clenched his teeth and continued, "Sorry for lying to you for so long. I didn't want to say it before because I was scared there will be separation within the brothers."

It was incompatible for a mayor's son to spend time with a bunch of broke hooligans so this reason was acceptable, but Song Ye did not believe him.

She squinted her eyes, and the atmosphere became cold as her hand kept knocking on the table.

Dong… dong… dong…

With every knock, it made others' hearts sink. The suppressive feeling that was exuded from her body caused the two people to suffocate.

Even Zhao Zhen, who had been in the business world for so long, could not handle the pressure—let alone Xu Zihang. It was winter, but his forehead broke out into many droplets of sweat. When he could not take it anymore, he continued. "I admit I was selfish in the beginning. I did not fancy the small fights here and there. In the end, I didn't say my identity because I was afraid that you wouldn't accept me."

He was a very arrogant and prideful person; even Xu Fangsheng could not force him to lower his head. Today, however, he could not help but put down his dignity.

His considerations were valid. Song Ye stopped her hand actions and lightly closed her eyes as her heart was cold, and she exhaled. She calmly announced. "Quit when we get back from Stone City."

The Night Gang was destined to be an underground organization and would meet with bloodshed and darkness in the future. Xu Zihang's identity was indeed unsuitable for him to stay in the organization.

Upon hearing her calm words, Xu Zihang felt as though his heart was punched. He widened his eyes, and rejection came straight out of his mouth. "No, Song Ye, I won't harm the brothers' interests. Please believe me."

"Xu Zihang." Song Ye raised her eyes and called his name, saying every single word carefully. "Have you thought about your future?"

"Future…" Xu Zihang was taken aback as he muttered the word. There was confusion in his eyes. In no time, his determination came back as he stared at Song Ye with his scorching eyes. Without hesitation, he announced his plan. "From the day you saved me and helped me take revenge, I took you as my boss. This thing will never change in my entire life."
