Jacob Ye took the sword back and gave it a gentle push. The copper coins immediately fell to the ground.
"How... how did you do it? Why do I feel like the copper coins only listen to you?" said Cole Lin as he was shocked.
Jacob Ye grinned and said, "You have to use the Delicate Force. I know how to use it because I had been exposed to these things when I learned traditional Chinese medicine from my grandfather."
Julian Zhou and Cole Lin were convinced by Jacob Ye and gave him a thumbs-up.
Time passed so fast, and it was getting late. They agreed to see one another at 10 o'clock tomorrow. Julian Zhou smiled lasciviously and said to Jacob Ye, "Go and see your little girlfriend."
Jacob Ye nodded and it was almost time for Megan Lan to wake up now. After he greeted goodbye to Julian Zhou and Cole Lin, he went back to Megan Lan’s room.
Megan Lan had indeed woken up. She was wrapped in the duvet staring blankly. She looked delicate and soft in her condition.
"Jacob... I.," said Megan Lan nervously as she saw Jacob Ye came into the room. She didn’t know what to say.
Jacob Ye smiled at her and said, "Don't worry. It's all over. You'd better not come to such a place anymore. This place may be chaotic sometimes. You should focus on your studies at this age."
Megan Lan nodded. She might not have been very sane earlier but she did remember everything clearly.
Megan felt embarrassed as she recalled her fiery act just now. She didn't dare to look at Jacob Ye. She lowered her head hoping to avoid this whole situation.
“Don’t worry and rest well. I will come see you tomorrow morning,” said Jacob Ye as he sensed Megan Lan’s shyness.
"Don’t leave, Jacob!" said Megan Lan. She was frightened and quickly sat up but forgot that her cheongsam was not in a good shape anymore.
When she sat up, the cheongsam pieces fell apart and her body was exposed.
She squealed and quickly wrapped herself with the duvet. "I'm afraid... can you stay with me?" whispered Megan Lan.
Jacob Ye hesitated for a moment. He was worried that the incident just now would traumatize Megan Lan. Jacob Ye nodded and sat at the edge of the bed.
They hadn't contacted each other for almost two years. It became awkward for them to sit together. Both of them did not know how to bring up a conversation.
"Megan, how have you been these years?" Jacob Ye broke the silence by initiating a conversation.
Megan Lan nodded and said, "I'm fine, but sometimes I think of you."
Jacob Ye was surprised and felt bitter.
Before they knew it, it was already dawn. Megan Lan changed out of her tattered cheongsam and put on her clothes. They went downstairs for breakfast.
They had talked a lot last night. Their relationship became closer. Although both of them did not mention anything but something was definitely going on between them.
There was a jade trading event after ten o'clock. The people who came here were either rich or noble. Although Jacob Ye had more money after yesterday, he knew that Megan Lan and him were poorly dressed. They would look inappropriate for the event. Jacob Ye decided to get new clothes.
There happened to be a shopping mall opposite Gloria, which belonged to Tyrell Corporation. Jacob Ye made good use of the credit card that Gavin Feng gave him as he brought Megan Lan along to the clothing department.
All women love shopping. Megan Lan was dazzled by the elegant clothes at the ladies section. But she knew she couldn’t afford the clothes as she saw the prices.
The clothes were at least ten thousand yuan. This was almost equivalent to her living expenses for a semester. She obviously couldn’t afford to spend this much on clothes.
Jacob Ye saw Megan Lan staring at a light blue dress. He smiled and asked, “ Why not give it a try?”
"Ah, no, it's too expensive,” said Megan Lan as she shook her head.
"It's okay! Let's try it on. You will look so pretty in it!" said Jacob Ye.
Megan Lan hesitated for a moment before reaching out to get the dress. She halted as she heard a voice stopping her.
"What do you think you are doing?" asked a salesperson as she came up. She had some dissatisfaction with her tone.
Jacob Ye frowned and was dissatisfied with her attitude. He said discontentedly, "We are obviously intending to try it, can't we?"
The salesperson saw what they wore and judged that both Jacob Ye and Megan Lan are students. So she made a biased assumption that they were here to try the clothes for fun and were not able to afford them.
The salesperson despised them and said coldly, "No, the clothes here are very expensive. You can’t afford to touch them."
"What did you say?" Jacob Ye was angry.
"Forget it, Jacob. She was right. This is too expensive. Let's go somewhere else and have a look." Megan Lan quickly let go of the dress and grabbed Jacob Ye.
"That’s right. This is Tyrell Corporation and we sell high-end products." said the salesperson arrogantly. She then pointed outside, "You should go buy from the stalls."
" How could a salesperson behave like this?" said Megan Lan as she was getting a little unhappy as well.
"Am I wrong?" replied the salesperson.
"Where is your manager? I want an explanation from your manager!” Jacob Ye decided not to leave. He was unhappy with the way the salesperson was looking down on him.
Right now, he had nearly 20 million yuan. How could he be despised by this salesperson?
"Our manager does not simply meet anyone. Just get out!” said the salesperson arrogantly.
"What's going on?" A bald man in his thirties came over.
"Uncle-in-law." The salesperson greeted the man and was putting on an act. She held the bald man’s hand and said, “There are two poor students wandering around here. They could not even afford anything.”
"How many times have I told you not to judge the customers." said the manager. Although he may sound professional, it was clear that he did not feel apologetic about the salesperson’s behavior.
‘No wonder the salesperson was so arrogant. Her uncle in law was the manager’ Jacob Ye thought to himself.
Jacob Ye then pointed to the light blue dress and said, "Pack up this dress, that one and also that one. I want them."
"Jacob..." Megan Lan grabbed Jacob Ye, afraid that he would act out of anger.
These clothes cost more than 100,000 yuan. The bald man was stunned. He looked at Jacob Ye and Megan Lan. After making sure that they didn't look like rich people, he said with a professional smile, "Of course, card or cash?"
Jacob Ye took out the card Gavin Feng gave him and said with a sneer, "This card was given to me by your boss, President. Feng. I don't know if it's true but he said that it is free if I present this card."
"Are you kidding me! How could you know President? Feng." The Saleslady said disdainfully.
