Chapter 136: Not One Less_1

Upon seeing Wu Cheng come in, carrying the box with the blue and white porcelain, Boss Zheng had instantly understood everything. Yet, he maintained his composure, neither revealing any change in his demeanour nor evincing any anxiety. As detachedly enthusiastic as ever, he welcomed Wu Cheng, arranging a seat for him.

Despite Boss Zheng's warm welcome, Wu Cheng knew he couldn't stay long and was too embarrassed to linger on. He handed the box back to Boss Zheng, stuttering, "Boss Zheng, this item…. I need to return it to you."

Feigning confusion, Boss Zheng glanced at the box then at Wu Cheng, asking with bafflement, "What do you mean by this, Boss Wu?"

From "Xiao Wu" to "Wu Cheng" and then "Boss Wu," Wu Cheng knew that the once decent relationship could no longer be restored.

Sighing with resignation, Wu Cheng summoned the bravery to say, "I lost my judgement. Once sold, it's sold. How can I go back on my word? Please forgive me, Boss Zheng. I should leave now."
