Ghost Catching System-Chapter 599 - 598 - The Enemy Cooperates to Show Off_1

It had been a while since he last saw this top-tier beauty. He never grew tired of looking at her; the more he looked, the more intriguing she became.

Mu Yufei was exactly the type of daughter-in-law he had envisioned: virtuous, sensible, and the perfect embodiment of a wise and good wife.

Mu Yufei came over and, naturally, saw Tina as well. She greeted her with a light smile, "You're always so busy. What brings you here today?"

Chu Hao touched his nose and said, "Busy? Not me. Sister Yu Fei is the busy one; I hardly ever see her."

Mu Yufei chuckled at that before shaking hands with Tina, and they politely introduced themselves.

Tina could sense that Mu Yufei was her equal, if not her superior. There was a deep affection in Chu Hao's eyes as he looked at Mu Yufei, and watching him, Tina found her own mood unexpectedly brightening.

Tina pursed her lips.

Mu Yufei asked, "Ah-Hao, are you here for stone gambling?"

Chu Hao replied, "I came to check out 'Emperor's Love.' I heard it was personally created by a master, and I wanted to see what it's all about."

Mu Yufei nodded. "The 'Emperor's Love' exhibition is tomorrow, and it will be auctioned in the evening."

"It's fine; just looking around will do."

A voice called out, "Sister!"

Turning to look, Mu Yufei saw her sister, Mu Yuxun, arriving with a few friends in tow.

When Chu Hao saw Mu Yuxun, he noticed a few others with her, one of them strikingly familiar. Wasn't that Pang Zhengguang?

Pang Zhengguang, seeing Chu Hao and Tina together, felt a surge of nameless anger. Damn it! I was the one who drove this kid to the hotel yesterday, and today he's already cozying up with her!

Mu Yuxun, upon seeing Chu Hao, showed a look of pleasant surprise and said, "Chu Hao, what are you doing here?"

Chu Hao answered, "Just taking a look."

Pang Zhengguang said coldly, "This place is for stone gambling. You might be good at deceiving people, but do you actually know anything about stone gambling?"

This guy was just itching for trouble, confronting Chu Hao right away as if he wouldn't feel comfortable unless he was belittling someone he perceived as beneath him.

Chu Hao said arrogantly, "It's just kid's play."

Pang Zhengguang laughed, "Wow, listen to you! A whole year without seeing you, and you've gotten even better at bragging. Stone gambling is kid's play, eh? Then gamble and show me how it's done!"

"Right. And you don't have money for stone gambling," Pang Zhengguang added with undisguised contempt.

Mu Yuxun was a bit speechless. She didn't know what had happened to make Pang Zhengguang start attacking Chu Hao the moment he arrived.

Tina stepped forward, looping her arm through Chu Hao's, and smiled, "Chu, I know a bit about stone gambling; let's have some fun with it."

With a beauty like me stepping up for him, he's bound to be grateful, Tina thought. Then it'll be much easier to complete my mission.

Indeed, as Tina affectionately linked her arm with Chu Hao's, everyone else looked on, dumbfounded. Mu Yuxun was speechless. How long has it been? And Chu Hao is already with a foreign girl?

Pang Zhengguang was even more furious. This shameless pair! They're moving way too fast! They must have hooked up last night—why don't I ever get such luck?

Seeing Tina's arm linked with Chu Hao's, Mu Yufei fell silent. Chu Hao's luck with women is just too much. Almost every time I see him, there's a different woman by his side.

Especially that time when she, Bai Ling, Luo Yan, and Qiu Xueying were having drinks, and Chu Hao was caught red-handed in an affair. She had already been left speechless back then.

Chu Hao himself felt helpless. He didn't care about the others, but he did care about Mu Yufei. The misunderstanding about an affair last time was bad enough; this time, the misapprehension would probably run even deeper.

However, I, King Chubi, have lived my life as a free spirit; why should I explain myself to anyone! That's just how freaking awesome I am!

Mu Yuxun didn't care about all that. She asked, "Chu Hao, who is she?"

Tina, looking tenderly at Chu Hao, said, "I'm his girlfriend, Tina."

Mu Yuxun was speechless. She said, annoyed, "Chu Hao, how can you be such a player?"

Damn it! Chu Hao thought. Girl, if you know, just keep it to yourself! Why say it out loud? It's so embarrassing for Brother Hao!

Mu Yuxun earnestly said, "Miss, he has many women around him. Don't let him fool you."

Chu Hao's face darkened. Does everyone think I'm a con artist now?

Tina leaned her head on Chu Hao's shoulder, her voice as gentle as water, "I know he has many women, but I'm willing to follow him all my life. This is the love I pursue, staying true to my original aspiration, without regret."

"DING! Tina successfully assisted the Host in showing off, earning 2000 Pretentiousness Points."

Well, damn! Chu Hao thought. Even that counts as showing off? What the hell!

Pang Zhengguang was on the verge of a breakdown. Is this foreign girl an idiot? Chu Hao is a total con artist! You know he's a con artist, and you're still willing to be fooled by him? Why don't I ever have such luck?

Mu Yuxun also felt her composure crumbling. Truthfully, hadn't there been a time when she, too, yearned for a romance with Chu Hao? It's just that she had missed so many chances.

Listening to Tina's words made Mu Yuxun feel even more conflicted. To pursue one's own love, to stay true to one's original aspirations... right? What about my own original aspiration!

To call Tina foolish would mostly be men; women think differently. Every woman wants to pursue her own love.

Mu Yufei murmured, "The original aspiration of love. Miss Tina, I admire you." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Tina politely said, "Thank you."

Chu Hao felt awkward. He wanted to explain, but any explanation would ruin the act he and Tina were putting on. So, he decided against it. I'll just be willful!

However, Pang Zhengguang, quite annoyed, said, "Chu Hao, you just said stone gambling is child's play. If you're so confident, why don't you make a bet to prove it?"

Always looking for trouble, Chu Hao thought. I like people like this the most. I should really thank you for being the stepping stone for my showmanship.

Chu Hao said, "How do you want to bet?"

Pang Zhengguang sneered, "Bet on who cuts out a jade of higher value. Do you dare?"

Chu Hao smiled, "Sure. The loser has to kneel and lick the winner's shoes."

He's raising the stakes this high? Pang Zhengguang thought, hesitating. Given my status, should I really go this far with Chu Hao?

Mu Yuxun interjected, "Pang Zhengguang, your family owns a jewelry business. What are you hesitating for?"

Pang Zhengguang thought it over. Right, Chu Hao is a complete con artist. Him, know stone gambling? If he does, then my name isn't Pang Zhengguang!

"Let's bet then."

Mu Yuxun seemed quite excited. "The rules of stone gambling are that one must choose their own stones; stones of any price are allowed, and each person selects three raw stones."

"Fine! Chu Hao, get ready to lick my shoes," Pang Zhengguang said smugly.

Chu Hao said, "Jumping to conclusions so quickly? You have a strange amount of confidence."

"Hmph!" Pang Zhengguang snorted coldly and went with his companions to pick stones.

Mu Yuxun was curious too. Stone gambling isn't like catching ghosts. Can Chu Hao really do it?

Chu Hao strode forward and reached an area with cheap stones, priced at a special offer of 360 yuan each.

Mu Yufei explained, "These are leftover fragments, what people usually call 'waste stones.' They hardly ever yield good jade."

Mu Yuxun said, "Chu Hao, Pang Zhengguang has gone to the ten-thousand-yuan zone. You won't be able to beat him by picking stones here."

Chu Hao said, "My luck has always been very good."

Mu Yuxun pouted. "I offer you kind advice, and you just ignore it! Fine, I won't bother with you anymore!"

Chu Hao smiled and took out the Three Wealth Copper Coins.
