CHAPTER 91: YES, I’M SICK

At this moment—

Chi Yu was stubbornly holding onto the small yellow dog and wouldn’t let go.

The village chief stood with a broom, looking displeased.

Aunt Cai stood with her hands on her hips, chattering away.

Yi Shu had a splitting headache, trying to persuade Chi Yu to calm down.

Sheng Yi was watching the commotion from the side, while the rest of the crew, including Yu Yang and Lin Xijiang, were still at the farmhouse.

Chi Yu had already expressed his stance: "I’ll pay ten times the price of that collar bell, please reconsider."

The village chief, holding the broom, said angrily, "Young man, can you not be so stubborn! I’ve already told you it’s just an iron bell, with a layer of gold paint outside, it’s not real gold, it’s not, but you just won’t believe me. Yet you’re willing to shell out so much money for it. Can’t you find someone else to rip off?"

The village chief was practically fuming.

He had a good heart and didn’t want to make such dishonest money.

But this guy insisted on giving him a large sum of money to buy an iron bell from the little yellow dog.

The moment he mentioned that Yanyan bought the bell for Huang, this young man went crazy and offered a huge amount of money for it.

The village chief was scared to death, convinced the young man had some problem.

The village chief said, "Yanyan really likes Huang, which is why she bought such a collar bell for him. It’s just one, and it’s iron, yet you want to fight a dog for it, claiming it’s gold, it is not gold!!"

"Then sell me the dog along with it," Chi Yu said.

The village chief snorted, ranting, "We have an emotional attachment to Huang; it’s not something you can separate just like that. Besides, you’re a big star trying to buy a dog from me; do you have time to take care of it? Can you take good care of it? It may not eat well here in the countryside, but it’s still better than living poorly with you."

Chi Yu: "..."

Yi Shu rubbed his temples, feeling extremely stressed.

He shouldn’t have agreed to let Chi Yu come say goodbye to the village chief.

You’d think it would be a simple goodbye, but he’d quickly fixated on the bell on the dog’s collar, insisting on buying it, and now the village chief wouldn’t sell it and wouldn’t let the dog go either.

That bell, Yi Shu had seen it too, was indeed pure gold, President Gu sure knows how to splurge.

But the village chief still didn’t know it was gold.

He kept insisting it was iron with just a gold plating. Chi Yu offered ten times the price for it, but the village chief’s conscience wouldn’t let him accept such ’black-hearted money,’ which led to the current stalemate.

Yi Shu thought about it deeply with a headache, finally suggesting, "Chi Yu, how about this, let’s give President Gu a call to ask for her opinion, considering the bell was bought by her, she has the ultimate say."

Chi Yu had a frosty expression at first.

After hearing Yi Shu’s suggestion, he sighed in exasperation, "I don’t dare."

Yi Shu: "..."

"I’ll make the call." The village chief took out his phone, searching through his contacts for Yanyan’s number, saying as he searched, "Wait, I’ll call Yanyan."

Chi Yu’s nerves were taut the moment the call connected.

Even after the call ended, he remained tense.

Finally, Yi Shu’s phone rang, and shortly after answering, he held it to his ear, saying, "It’s President Gu calling to hold us accountable."

Chi Yu: "..."

Suddenly Chi Yu was at a loss, letting go of the dog, wiping his hands on his clothes, wanting to take the call but didn’t dare, his hands repeatedly reaching out and pulling back, until finally, he awkwardly lied, "My throat doesn’t feel well."

Yi Shu: "Then I’ll hang up—"

"Hang what hang, how dare you!"

Chi Yu snatched the phone and held it tightly to his ear.

Just as he was about to admit wrongdoing, Gu Yuan’s voice came through, "Why are you arguing with a dog? Can’t you go buy one yourself if you want it?"

Chi Yu helplessly and aggrievedly said, "I spent money on it, I really did, but the village chief won’t sell it to me."

Gu Yuan, sounding annoyed, replied, "Are you crazy? Why insist on buying that bell?"

Chi Yu quietly said, "Yes, I’m crazy."
