Chapter 6 — My Boyfriend and I Open a Grocery Store Together?

Lo Lo's face was filled with self-pity and he weakly replied: "Why are you shouting at me? I'm not the one selling it!" This sentence only made Tran Chu even more angry.

"Are you sitting there making a scene? Or are you completely speechless? You can't manage the store, you can't even look after the goods, are you worthy of being the owner?"

The second aunt immediately jumped up when she heard it.

"Tran Chu! If you want to settle accounts, find your mother! Lo Lo is pregnant, why do you talk like that?"

Tran Chu's face was as black as ash.

"You two can't take care of the store, and you're blaming my mother? You carry your belly around all day, what else can you do besides eat? You're useless!"

“Who are you calling useless?”

Lo Lo was humiliated by Tran Chu right in front of everyone, and immediately became angry.

"That damn old woman is a piece of trash! Stupid as a pig! Slow-minded, still likes to be in charge!"

“Chat!”

Tran Chu slapped her straight in the face. Lo Lo was stunned for a second, but immediately rushed forward to scratch.

“You bastard, dare to hit me!”

She reached out and grabbed Tran Chu's face, sharp nails scratching wildly. Tran Chu raised his hand to block, Lo Lo staggered and hit the glass counter straight. The second aunt was panicked, seeing her daughter holding her stomach and sitting on the ground, she immediately went crazy, rushed in and tore Tran Chu's shirt, kicking and punching wildly. While beating, she cried bitterly: "Murder! Murder!" The shop immediately fell into chaos. Right now, Lo Lo saw blood. The second aunt screamed loudly, so panicked that she forgot to fight, and quickly pulled out her phone to call an ambulance.

"Hello! 120! Save lives!"

Lo Lo couldn't keep the baby. Second aunt and second uncle rushed straight to Tran Chu's house and made a fuss. Tran Chu hid, not daring to show his face. As for his parents, they played tricks on him and even denied the debt. The second aunt was so angry that she had a heart attack and had to be hospitalized in the emergency room. The relationship between Lo Lo and Tran Chu completely broke down. Being in debt of more than 1 million and unable to pay, Tran Chu was sued directly in court by his second aunt. I thought this was the end. But unexpectedly, Tran Chu's shop suddenly prospered. Luxury cars are often parked in front of the door, and the people coming in and out are all upper-class people. Tran Chu looked like a big boss and warmly welcomed guests. Not only did he change to driving a BMW, he also rented space from the shop next door and expanded his business. The connoisseurs in the antique street only smiled faintly at his pile of discarded goods. No one understands why rich people especially like his shop. I also couldn't figure it out at all. Until one day... A woman walked into my shop, wanting to sell a jewelry box. At this moment, I suddenly woke up with great enlightenment. This woman took out a Qing Dynasty lacquer jewelry box and asked me for a price. I carefully observed it, the paint layer still retains its gloss, the pattern is exquisite, it is definitely genuine.

“This dish is quite good, the market price is about 100 thousand.”

After hearing this, the woman immediately raised her eyebrows and her tone became harsh.

"100 thousand? Are you opening a robbery shop? My husband bought this for 5 million! You offered 100 thousand?"

I was startled. Is her husband crazy? Or is it because having too much money makes you stupid? For a normal item like this, you spend 5 million? The woman carefully put the jewelry box back and glared at me.

“You antique dealers are such scammers!” Then turn people leave.

I'm still confused and don't understand what happened. Less than half an hour later, the woman returned, her face filled with worry.

"Girl, is this jewelry box fake? I asked several stores, they only quoted a few tens of thousands!"

I told the truth: "It's not fake, but this is just a normal product, not a rare item. I offered 100 thousand as the best price." The woman grabbed my hand tightly, panicked.

"Girl, I won't lie to you! My husband actually spent 5 million on it! Look, here is the deed and invoice."

After saying that, she pulled out the documents with trembling hands and showed them to me... I quickly scanned the certificate. This thing's reference value is too low, it has no weight at all. But the stamp on the invoice immediately caught my attention. Turns out, this dish was bought from Tran Chu's shop. The woman is still talking angrily.

"I'm in the process of divorcing my husband. Who would have thought that that damn guy would secretly take the family's savings and buy this tattered box! If I sell it, I can't sell it. If I keep it, I'll be angry to death!"

I suddenly understood everything. Tran Chu is playing dirty tricks again. He knows he is not qualified to do antiques business. So he turned to being a front man, specializing in helping rich people transfer assets before divorce. Buying an item that isn't worth much but the price is inflated to the sky, with invoices and deed, looks like a legal transaction. This scum is really playing on the edge of a knife!

With money in hand, Tran Chu became more and more arrogant. He hired a group of thugs from the streets and used all kinds of dirty tricks to take over other shops in the city. In broad daylight, openly selling fake goods. Not long after, he targeted my shop. I didn't bother being polite and coldly replied: "Tran Chu, my store is not something you can afford. Don't come and get involved." He was so thick-skinned that he was brazen, smirking: "I bought the store, not your products." It turned out that he was targeting my shop's prime location. I firmly refused: "Nothing to discuss. Not for sale." Seeing that I refused to give in, he started to threaten: "Van Van, it's okay if you don't want to transfer. But don't blame me for taking all your customers." Looking at his satisfied face, I was extremely disgusted.

"Tran Chu, you keep selling your fake goods, I'll keep doing my genuine business. Don't be too excessive."

He laughed out loud, full of arrogance: "Oh? You know quite a bit, don't you? Why, selling handicrafts is illegal? Hahaha! If you're good, go and report it to the police to arrest me!" He's right. If I want to deal with him, I have to go another way. Seeing my silence, he threw me a provocative look, then arrogantly walked away. I thought for a while, then called a few familiar lawyers and drafted a denunciation. He wanted to find his own way to die, I will help him fulfill his wish.

Tran Chu was proud and arrogant, hugging his lovely mistress all day, wandering around showing off around the antique street. Until he received a notice from the authorities, requesting cooperation in the money laundering investigation. At that moment, he really panicked. His dirty tricks were not just for a day or two. The whole street can testify. This time, he certainly couldn't escape big trouble. Shop Tran Chu's closed overnight. The antique street finally escaped the stuffy atmosphere and returned to its old quiet and elegance. On small alleys, the sound of bargaining and bargaining is occasionally heard. But these sounds are not the bustle of the market, but the intellectual struggle between people who understand the value of antiques. They create a unique lively feature for this ancient street.
