"..." Shura was speechless.
After taking out the message and reading it again, Li Yang felt a little annoyed. The message was from Cao Xin; this older sister was incredibly thoughtful, reminding him that Fang Kexin's birthday was coming up soon and asking him to prepare a gift.
In fact, Li Yang was a bit of a headache when it came to birthdays, because Zhao Lihua's birthday was coming soon, and Xue Tao's birthday was right after. He had a very close relationship with these two people, and he had to find a way to celebrate their birthdays and buy them gifts, but he was really not good at this.
He's having a headache just thinking about Fang Kexin's gift.
"Decades from now, when we meet again at the crematorium, we'll all be burned to ashes. You'll be one pile, I'll be another, and no one will recognize us. We'll all be sent to the countryside as fertilizer—"
Suddenly, a sharp and powerful song started playing, and Li Yang felt a little annoyed. What's wrong with people these days? How can a song like this become so popular?
But when he saw many people staring at him strangely on the street, he suddenly remembered that this was his phone ringtone, a special ringtone that Sun Weirui had given him.
Li Yang broke out in a cold sweat and quickly hid in a dark corner to answer the phone.
"Hello? Which one is it?" Although Li Yang guessed it was Sun Weirui, he still deliberately provoked her.
“I’m your great-aunt… Didn’t you hear the ringtone? Didn’t you see the caller ID? Are you deliberately trying to provoke me?” Sun Weirui launched into a barrage of questions.
Li Yang immediately moved the phone away, holding it ten centimeters from his ear to answer. Only after she finished yelling did he take it back and continue, "I know it was you. It was intentional, deliberate. So what?"
“I… watch out, or I’ll come over and castrate you!” Sun Weirui said fiercely.
"Alright, come on then, I'll spread my legs and wait for you. I bet if I castrate you, you'll be the one crying, right?" Li Yang grinned wickedly, looking completely smug.
"You pervert! Enough with the nonsense, how are you planning to celebrate Kexin's birthday?" Sun Weirui got to the point.
"Huh? Who are you talking about?" Li Yang deliberately spoke in riddles.
"Stop pretending. You have a photographic memory. Do you think you would forget this?" Sun Weirui said disdainfully.
"You're smart. I'm just choosing a gift, what's the rush? It's like the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is!" Li Yang teased.
"I'll give you a piece of my mind! You're the one who's a eunuch! I'm just reminding you, you boys are so careless. Remember, Kexin's favorite thing is crystal, don't get it wrong!" Sun Weirui kindly reminded Li Yang. But she was provoked by Li Yang and felt even more depressed.
"Oh, I see. So what do you like?" Li Yang suddenly asked.
Sun Weirui was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Why are you asking me?"
"Damn it. Don't you celebrate your birthday? Prepare for the future!" Li Yang said.
"Get lost! I'm not telling you! All you need to do now is keep an eye on Wei Rui!" Sun Wei Rui's mood instantly lifted, and her tone became much lighter.
"Okay. Goodbye, I'm picking out a gift!" Li Yang said, about to hang up the phone.
"Are you in such a hurry to hang up?" Sun Weirui asked, disappointed.
"My dear sister, I'm shopping. I'll definitely come see you when I have time, and I promise I'll make you happy, okay!" Li Yang said lewdly. At this moment, he had already walked into a jewelry store. As he said this, the pretty saleswoman inside was about to give him a bright smile, but his words made her freeze on her face.
"You scoundrel!" Although Sun Weirui called him a scoundrel, she felt much better and hung up the phone on her own initiative.
"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?" The waitress took a deep breath, trying her best to project professionalism, and put on a bright smile. But it looked very fake.
"I want to buy crystals, bring me the best quality crystals!" Li Yang said with the air of a nouveau riche, waving his hand dismissively.
However, his clothes were very ordinary because he came from an ordinary family. He dressed for comfort and didn't care much about brands or matching. Besides, he was constantly on the move, and although he had many women, none of them were close to him and could choose clothes for him. So he looked like a very ordinary person, someone without money.

"Sir, are you sure?" the waitress asked again.
"Do you have dog eyes?" Li Yang asked, looking up and smiling.
"I'm sorry, sir, I'll get it for you right away!" The saleswoman was immediately flustered and deeply regretted asking that question. The customer is God, and five people serving one person is the service principle of their jewelry store. This lady just had some prejudice against Li Yang, but the aura that Li Yang suddenly exuded still frightened her. This girl, who was used to seeing big shots and rich people, immediately knew that she had encountered a person who was not hiding his true strength and needed to be careful and not be careless.
"Sir, these are the finest crystals in our store!" After the waitress rushed in, a middle-aged woman in a dark blue business suit immediately came out. She had an elegant demeanor, and although there were faint crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, she still possessed a captivating charm.
Li Yang's eyes swept over her chest. Hmm, not bad, a bit bigger than the previous one. At least she's a manager now.
"Sir, are you satisfied with these?" The OL female manager smiled gracefully as she looked at Li Yang.
"Not bad. But is this the best crystal your jewelry company has?" Li Yang didn't know much about crystals and really didn't understand them. But that didn't stop him from trying to impress others, haggling over prices and acting like a professor or expert.
"Of course, there are even better varieties of crystal, but our shop is just the most basic one. If you want something better, you have to go to the main store!" the manager explained to Li Yang.
"Oh. So you mean you don't have the best here? Then why should I waste my time with you?" Li Yang said arrogantly.
“But sir, these are already very good crystals. They would be perfect as gifts.” The manager smiled wryly. The waitress might not have the eyesight to see through Li Yang’s abilities. Although she couldn’t see through him either, she could at least sense the aura of a powerful person emanating from him, the kind of aura that naturally emanates from a superior.
Therefore, he didn't dare to treat Li Yang as someone who was looking for trouble; he just thought that Li Yang really wanted the best quality, but they couldn't satisfy him.
She was still a little puzzled. She had only ever seen someone with such a high status in the general manager, so why would someone like that come to this low-level store? Shouldn't they go directly to the head office?
"Where is your main store? What's it called?" Li Yang asked, scanning the surroundings. But as soon as he asked the question, he deeply regretted it, because he saw someone.
"Our main store is..." The manager was about to explain to Li Yang that he should go to the main store to make a purchase, as that would also count towards her sales performance. Judging from Li Yang's expression, if he bought the best crystals, he would definitely spend a lot, which would be a huge sales figure. But before she could finish explaining, she saw that Li Yang ignored her completely and turned to walk towards someone else.
Upon seeing that person, the manager felt a wave of frustration wash over her. All her previous resentment and anger vanished, leaving her only a silent resentment. Comparison was truly infuriating. Before that woman appeared, she, the manager, was considered quite attractive, capable of making men fantasize. But with this woman around, she was nothing but a pile of dung. Not only was she less attractive, but her demeanor was also worlds apart. The manager, true to her managerly nature, maintained her smile despite this setback, quietly waiting for Li Yang and his friends to greet her. A sense of smugness began to rise within her. "See?" she thought. "If it weren't for my judgment, I might have mistaken him for an ordinary person, which would have been incredibly embarrassing."
"Miss Ye, what a coincidence!" Li Yang chuckled as he walked over.
Ye Ziyan saw Li Yang as soon as she entered, but she didn't greet him. Instead, she quietly walked to the side and started picking out crystals. She also liked crystals and would come to look at them regularly. If she found any nice ones, she would buy some to take home.
She doesn't care about the price; whether it's a few dollars or thousands or tens of thousands of dollars per crystal, she'll buy it as long as her funds allow. Now, her bedroom is filled with a large number of crystals.
She didn't have any close friends or best friends, except for her cousin Gao Qingmei, who jokingly called her "Crystal Princess," which shows how much she loved crystals.
"Yes. What a coincidence. You're here to buy crystals?" Ye Ziyan turned around and said with a faint smile.
