Chapter 47: Agreement 6

Yang Yuxi stared angrily at Ye Ming, she would not hesitate to argue with Ye Ming if he asked her to pay for the tea that she just drank. Initially, Ye Ming merely asked the question casually. However seeing that she was so agitated, he could not help but tease her.

“Are you my wife?” Ye Ming asked. “What nonsense are you talking about? Who is your wife?” Yang Yuxi was stunned, shouting to deny. “Then are you my lover?” Ye Ming asked again. “To hell with that. You better not have any ill designs on me. I have nothing to do with you.” Yang Yuxi hurried to distance herself from him.

“That’s right. Since you are not my wife or lover, and like you said, we have no relations whatsoever, what right do you have to drink my tea without paying for it?” Ye Ming said. Yang Yuxi was speechless.

“Xiaoyu, let me know how much her drink cost?” Ye Ming instructed. “Young master, it cost a total of 225,000 yuan.” Zhang Xiaoyu said without thinking, explaining how she derived the figure. “We used 2.5 grams of rare ujeon longjing tea in the pot of tea. A pot of tea is equivalent to four cups of tea. Every 20 grams cost 3,600,000 yuan, therefore, it would cost 225,000 yuan.”

“225,000 yuan… I will round it down for you to 220,000 yuan,” Ye Ming said. “220,000 yuan is too much.” Yang Yuxi was dumbstruck, swallowing her saliva secretly, and doing some mental calculations. “Four cups of tea are worth 450,000 yuan. I only had one cup of tea, why is it more than 220,000 yuan?” She said angrily.

“Miss Yang, there are four cups of tea in a pot. We have poured a cup of tea for you right at the beginning, and you drank the second cup just now.” Zhang Xiaoyu replied. “I didn’t drink the first cup of tea.” Yang Yuxi rebuked. “But it was in your cup.” Zhang Xiaoyu replied. “I don’t care. Anyway, I did not drink the first cup of tea and you are the one who poured the tea. It can’t be counted,” Yang Yuxi said.

“Fine, then we will take it as one cup of tea and that is 112,500 yuan,” Ye Ming concluded. “T… this is too expensive.” Yang Yuxi mumbled. Although Ye Ming reduced the price by half, it was still beyond her means.

“Miss Yang, you should be thankful that you only get to spend more than a hundred thousand yuan to drink a cup of top quality ujeon longjing tea and that it was with my young master’s company,” Zhang Xiaoyu said. Yang Yuxi bit her lips. Instead of feeling that the situation was favorable to her, she felt that she was being put at a disadvantage.

“Yang Yuxi, don’t tell me you intend to walk away without paying for it?” Ye Ming mocked her. “I… I will not do that,” Yang Yuxi said in a loud voice, but she regretted it right after her reply. She spoke too quickly and now she had to pay an additional one hundred thousand yuan. But at the sight of Ye Ming who deserved a spanking, she could not keep her tongue in check. She did not want to be looked down upon by him. However, she still felt indignant, muttering to herself, “Such ungentlemanly behavior.”

Ye Ming pretended not to have heard her. He instructed He Min who stood by the side to draft another quotation for Yang Yuxi. “Take a look at the new quotation. Is everything alright?” Ye Ming asked. “I don’t trust it as you are the one who came up with the quotation,” Yang Yuxi said angrily.

“An appraisal certificate is attached at the back. It states clearly the authenticity of all the items as well as the purchase price and the current market price. You can take a look. If you still don’t believe it, you can find some experts to confirm their authenticity.” Ye Ming had nothing to fear. “I will certainly find someone to certify it.” Yang Yuxi refused to back down.
