Free Web NovelChapter 98: Chapter 98 Turns Out It’s Mahjong
"Elders, you mustn’t believe the lies of this swindler or buy his mats!"
Standing outside the crowd, Huang Mingze shouted this loudly.
After yelling several times, he finally managed to quiet the crowd.
The elderly turned to look at Huang Mingze, each with a look of shock in their eyes.
"You don’t know, he’s specifically targeting you seniors to scam you out of your money."
With these words, Huang Mingze stirred up a buzz among the elders.
Seeing that his words had an effect, Huang Mingze walked directly into the crowd.
And he didn’t forget to turn back and pull Qin Wanru with him, signaling her to follow him in, to see for herself what kind of person Liu Zheng truly was.
Qin Wanru stepped forward, following into the crowd after Liu Zheng.
Upon reaching Liu Zheng, Huang Mingze sneered contemptuously, "I’ll tell you, Liu Zheng, when you were in school, you never did well, and now that you’ve grown up, you even scam money from the elderly."
"You should know, the money they have is the result of hard work, and it’s what they rely on in their old age. You heartlessly scam their money, how can you even call yourself human?"
Hearing Huang Mingze’s slander, both Liu Zheng and Liu Suqiu were stunned, looking at the two people who had just arrived.
Liu Zheng didn’t say anything, but Liu Suqiu couldn’t hold back and said, "We’re scamming? Who have we scammed? Mister Huang, you better stop slandering us."
"Tsk tsk, even now, you say you haven’t scammed anyone?" Huang Mingze sneered, looking at Liu Zheng and Liu Suqiu: "Selling all these overpriced mats, tell me, how much are you charging these elders?"
Hearing this, Liu Suqiu immediately got upset, opening her mouth to counter the accusation.
However, Liu Zheng reached out a hand to stop her, preventing Liu Suqiu from defending further.
But the look Liu Zheng gave Huang Mingze was full of mockery and disdain.
It was as if he was looking at a performing fool.
Even though Huang Mingze felt mocked by Liu Zheng’s gaze, he still sneered and continued to expose Liu Zheng’s alleged schemes in front of the elderly.
"Dear elders, he’s clearly deceiving you. These mats have no special effects at all, so there’s no need to buy his shoddy mats. They’re expensive and useless. Those who’ve bought should ask for a refund."
After saying this, he turned his head to look at Qin Wanru.
Seeing her also looking at Liu Zheng, he said, "See? That’s the kind of person he is. Just think about it, there are so many of these mats, and each one is sold for at least three hundred yuan. In such a case, isn’t he just ripping off these old people?"
As he was showing off, an elderly lady nearby, frowning with a puzzled expression, asked, "Young man, what are you talking about? What’s this about mats?"
Hearing the old woman question what mats he was talking about, Huang Mingze was a bit bewildered, wondering why she would ask such a question.
"What mats? Of course, I’m talking about those mats made of bamboo—such things are worth at most a few tens of yuan each. Everyone should be careful not to get fooled, spending hundreds of yuan on these mats is just causing trouble for yourselves, so be sure to see through his true nature."
Huang Mingze, speaking with conviction, had an air of triumph as he looked towards Liu Zheng, with the expression of a victor. freewebnσvel.cѳm
"Everyone, better to return your purchases quickly! To avoid being unable to get a refund later."
Watching his performance, the elders were somewhat perplexed, curious, and utterly astonished.
As they listened to Huang Mingze finish talking, one of the elders, pushing his reading glasses up on the bridge of his nose and clearing his throat, said, "Young man, could it be that you’ve come to the wrong place, mistaken the person?"
As he spoke, he gestured towards the cart in front and said, "What the young couple is selling here isn’t any kind of mat!"
Suddenly hearing this from the elder, Huang Mingze was instantly stunned.
He looked incredulously at Liu Zheng and then at the elders standing before him.
"So... what is he selling?"
The somewhat at-a-loss Huang Mingze’s voice even sounded a bit off.
"The young couple is selling mahjong sets, those are exactly what they’re selling!"
As he spoke, the old man raised a mahjong tile in his hand.
"Crack!"
It really was like a bolt from the blue, or as if lightning had struck his body, at this moment, Huang Mingze felt his brain was scrambled.
What the hell is going on?
In an instant, he felt his brain wasn’t functioning right.
How did it turn into mahjong sets?
If that’s the case, where did the mats the straw mat seller mentioned yesterday go?
Shouldn’t Liu Zheng be worrying about how to sell those straw mats right now?
Why would they have the leisure to sell mahjong sets here?
"Look here, young man! You’d better not talk nonsense here and spoil our fun; causing trouble is no sign of good upbringing."
"Exactly! You were talking about straw mats and a cost of two to three hundred. If that were the case, then if this couple sold a set of mahjong for just over a hundred yuan, wouldn’t they be losing money hand over fist?"
"Get lost, go wherever it’s cool and stay there, don’t delay this old man from buying my mahjong tiles. Day by day, such good mahjong tiles, if I can’t get them, wouldn’t that be too much of a loss?" ƒreewebɳovel.com
At this point, the elderly grandfathers and grandmothers were all starting to seem very impatient.
Even two or three of the elders directly pushed Huang Mingze out of the crowd.
Watching Huang Mingze being pushed and shoved out of the crowd with a look of aggrievement on his face, Qin Wanru couldn’t help but let out a snicker.
Of course, she also felt a bit ashamed in her heart.
The sole reason for this was because when she came over to see Liu Zheng selling things, she had also harbored some doubts.
In fact, she had even suspected that Liu Zheng had sold those straw mats to these old men and ladies.
Especially seeing such a lively scene, her heart really wavered.
Today, she had already doubted Liu Zheng twice.
But.
The facts had proven everything, Liu Zheng wasn’t as unsavory as she imagined.
From this, it was clear that Liu Zheng was indeed a man of integrity.
Faced with this situation, Qin Wanru didn’t even know how to face Liu Zheng anymore.
At this moment.
Huang Mingze had been pushed out of the crowd, his mind originally in a daze.
Now away from the crowd, his mind started to clear up, and he immediately began shouting loudly.
"Old men and women, please don’t be deceived! This guy is full of mischief, he’s definitely tricking you. Even if it’s mahjong sets, he’s using shoddy bamboo, they’re really not worth anything, don’t believe him!"
