There Will Always Be Protagonists With Delusions of Starting a Harem

Chapter 124

The protagonist was about to collapse. He recalled the days when he had once been treated like a lord by this man. He then thought the current dayes where the other chased him like he was a mouse. His blood boiled over, and he blurted out the incident of the spy he had found in the other's company when he was a cat living in the other's house. He even said the spy's name and what kind of documents the spy had stolen from the study.

Gu Yi was greatly shocked, then doubtful. The protagonist was aware that he had revealed something he should'd have. Carrying his luggage, he quickly ran to an ancient jade appreciation conference at the next province.

It was probably because he was dealing with the spy, but Gu Yi didn't come after him. As soon as the protagonist let out a sigh of relief, he discovered the figures of Xiao Rui, the fifth male lead, and Wen Jiahe, the sixth male lead. The two seemed to know each other, and they also happened to be talking about the topic of raising cats!

The protagonist thought of the two emails he had sent out using the Wen family's computer. He was greatly alarmed and quickly rushed forward, pretending to be a stupid antique collector who had a lot of money. He forcely interrupted the two's conversation and quickly changed the topic.

Xiao Rui, an expert in counterfeiting antiques, was also a very powerful expert in identifying and repairing cultural relics. He saw that the protagonist had a lot of money to squander and, without another word, he took the protagonist to his own showcase, allowing him o select some antiques that were not on display.

Wen Jiahe had come from a scholarly family. Influenced by his grandmother, he was very fond of antiques. He was also gifted in identifying ancient calligraphy and paintings. Seeing that the protagonist didn't have a specific interest in his collection, with the attitude of an expert leading a newcomer, he accompanied Xiao Rui to explain to the protagonist some basic matters that he should pay attention to when collecting antiques. He even considerately told him that he should not be tricked by people like Xiao Rui, who were experts in counterfeiting antiques.

When Xiao Rui heard the speech, he pretended to be angry and was about to make a show of chasing off his troublemaker friend. The protagonist stopped the two people who were about to make a fuss, and expressed his belief in Xiao Rui's character. When he had been a cat with Xiao Rui, he had figured out Xiao Rui was an expert in making counterfeits, he didn't do it to chea people, but to prevent others from being cheated. Xiao Rui's real way of making a living was repairing antiques.

Being trusted like this, Xiao Rui immediately recognized the protagonist as a friend. Wen Jiahe's liking for the protagonist also rose sharply, and the three soon got familiar with each other.

After the appreciation conference ended in a few days, Xiao Rui and Wen Jiahe returned to Beijing. The protagonist stood blankly at the airport, at a loss od where to go. Now he had enough money to live happily for three lifetimes, but he had no goals in life. Y Province was just a place to make money, not a home. He looked at people coming and going, and didn't know what path he should take.

Coincidentally at this time, Gu Yi, who cleaned up the spy, called and said that in order to thank him for his help, he decided to raise his asking price for the jadeite. The protagonist was speechless, and then suddenly an idea popped up in his mind-- he decided to open a jewelry store to compete with Gu Yi!

Gu Yi failed to buy jaidete, but also gained a strong rival in the future. He frowned, he thought, and finally decided to go to the temple to worship. Things were not going well recently for him. He must have stepped on dog poop when he left the house. Everything was as usual in the temple. The abandoned cat's nest was still in the warmest monk's room under his insistence, but the owner of the cat's nest never came back. Gu Yi was sad and worried if the cat was not living well outside.
