I Transmigrated Into a Villain and All the Heroines in This Novel Have Systems?

Chapter 7:

To the public, while they envied the rich, they admired those with real skill even more.

Lin Chuan might have money, but that was just because of his family’s wealth. He was simply lucky and couldn’t be considered someone with true ability.

But Qi Xuan had worked hard to reach his current status.

So, everyone naturally believed that Qi Xuan had the right to look down on this super-rich second-generation heir.

Lin Chuan and Ning Wenrou happened to pass by and overheard Qi Xuan’s remark.

Ning Wenrou immediately stole a careful glance at Lin Chuan, afraid that he might suddenly explode in anger.

But to her surprise, Lin Chuan only turned to glance at Qi Xuan before continuing forward without stopping.

This left Ning Wenrou a little stunned.

If it were the old Lin Chuan, he would have already confronted whoever dared to disrespect him, arguing with them or even resorting to violence.

But now, he acted as if he hadn’t heard anything?

This change was way too sudden.

Had he really been possessed by someone else?

Lin Chuan didn’t intend to stoop to Qi Xuan’s level, but the latter didn’t know when to stop.

Seeing Lin Chuan ignore him only infuriated him further.

Me, the great “Master Qi,” and you don’t even bother looking me in the eye?

Thinking of this, he mocked even louder.

“Some fools with too much money shouldn’t meddle in the world of antiques. This business has deep waters—be careful not to drown, hahaha!”

Though he didn’t name anyone, everyone knew who he was talking about. The crowd instantly went silent, nervously glancing at Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan was notorious in Zhonghai for being a troublemaker.

He looked for fights even when there were none, let alone when someone was deliberately provoking him. How could he let this slide?

Sure enough, they saw Lin Chuan stop in his tracks and turn back toward Qi Xuan.

It’s happening—it’s really happening!

The people near Qi Xuan quickly scattered, afraid of getting caught in the crossfire.

Even Ning Wenrou sighed softly.

As expected, a leopard never changes its spots. This guy still couldn’t hold his temper.

However, what Lin Chuan did next shocked everyone.

“Excuse me, could you tell me where the arts and crafts section is?”

Lin Chuan looked at Qi Xuan with a sincere expression, as if he hadn’t heard a word of his mockery.

Qi Xuan, who had been prepared for a confrontation, was momentarily stunned. Reflexively, he pointed to the right.

“Just keep walking straight to the end.”

“Thank you.”

Lin Chuan politely thanked him and took a step forward. Then, as if remembering something, he stopped again.

“Oh, by the way, having money doesn’t necessarily mean being stupid.”

“Some things that rich people do might seem incomprehensible to you, but that’s probably because poverty has limited your imagination.”

After saying that, he walked straight to a nearby stall, leaving the crowd completely baffled.

He picked up a blue and white porcelain vase with a price tag of 100,000 yuan.

“For example, this porcelain vase. I know it’s fake, but I still want to buy it—not for anything else, just to hear it shatter.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he let go of the vase, letting it fall to the ground.

“CRASH!”

The vase shattered into pieces.

The vendor instantly panicked and jumped to his feet.

“What are you doing—”

Before he could finish his sentence, Lin Chuan had already taken off the Rolex Gold Yacht-Master from his wrist and casually tossed it over.

“This Rolex is worth 200,000 yuan. That should more than cover your vase, right?”

The vendor instinctively caught the watch and turned it over in his hands several times.

After confirming that it was genuine, he looked at Lin Chuan in disbelief.

“You… You’re really giving me this watch? No take-backs?”

That blue and white porcelain vase was just a fake—it hadn’t cost more than 1,000 yuan to make.

In other words, he had just scored a 200,000 yuan Rolex for practically nothing.

Lin Chuan smiled and turned back to Qi Xuan.

“You see, you can’t understand my actions. Why? Because tens of thousands of yuan mean nothing to people like me.”

“But for people like you, it’s a huge deal.”

“I don’t blame you. It’s just a matter of perspective.”

“A frog at the bottom of a well will never understand what a goose sees in the sky.”

With that, he grabbed the stunned Ning Wenrou’s hand and walked away.

Although many in the crowd had just been collateral damage to his words, none of them felt offended.

Because what he said was true.

Even if it made them uncomfortable, they had no argument against it.

But Qi Xuan couldn’t take it.

He had a natural gift for antiques, and before turning thirty, he had already earned the title of “Master.”

Especially in the past two years, no matter where he went, he was praised and admired.

And now, a brainless rich second-gen had just publicly humiliated him and called him a “frog in a well.”

“Heh… And a brainless rich brat like you thinks you have the right to look down on me?”

Feeling utterly humiliated, Qi Xuan immediately followed after them.

He had to see how this foolish rich kid would embarrass himself when he got scammed.

Meanwhile, Lin Chuan was internally crying.

Even though he had just pulled off that badass stunt, only he knew the pain behind it.

The 10 million yuan that his father had given him had already been almost entirely squandered by the original Lin Chuan.

Now, he was left with barely over 100,000 yuan.

That meant he didn’t even have the money to keep up his rich playboy act.

All he could do was sacrifice his watch to maintain his image.

But his suffering would soon come to an end.

As long as he could find the stall where the protagonist Qin Chao would make his legendary lucky purchase, he would be able to rise from the ashes.

Now that he had Master-Level Antique Appraisal, his eyesight was unmatched.

Walking through the market, he had already spotted many opportunities for incredible deals.

The only problem was—he was broke.

In his previous life, he had always wanted to buy things but couldn’t afford them.

Now, after reincarnating as a super-rich heir, he still couldn’t afford anything.

What kind of shitty transmigration was this?!

Just as he was silently cursing his luck, Ning Wenrou suddenly tugged on his sleeve and gestured behind them.

Lin Chuan turned around and saw that idiot Qi Xuan was following them from a distance.

“What’s this guy’s problem?”

He thought that he had already been polite enough, never displaying any typical arrogant rich-kid behavior. The guy should’ve just let it go.

But instead, this fool was still tailing him.

Was he asking for a beating?

Just as Lin Chuan was about to get angry, a brilliant idea suddenly hit him.

Oh. The perfect “wallet” has arrived.

A smirk curled at the corners of his mouth.

Ning Wenrou, seeing his signature sly smile, instantly knew he was up to something.

She silently prayed for Qi Xuan.

“You’re on your own now.”

“You, come here.”

Lin Chuan casually beckoned Qi Xuan with a finger, as if calling for a dog.

“Hmph!” Qi Xuan didn’t want to look too eager, so he slowly walked over.

“What do you want?”

“Why are you following me?” Lin Chuan didn’t get straight to the point. Instead, he played along.

“Who’s following you? Does this street belong to your family? You can walk here, but I can’t?” Qi Xuan folded his arms arrogantly, trying to maintain his “antique master” demeanor.

“Let’s not beat around the bush. You’re waiting for me to embarrass myself, aren’t you?”

Lin Chuan exposed him directly, his eyes flashing with amusement.

“Well then, no problem. I’ll give you the chance.”
