Chapter 228: Chapter 228
When Kaleb heard Chase requested three million yuan, his knees went weak in shock.
Jane cursed unhesitantly, "Stop playing games here! I will slap you, believe it or not! If you don't want to help, just say it There's no need to get back at us, you son of a b *tch!"
Chase slammed the door with a bang.
He did not even bother to deal with such people.
Jane was so pissed off that she wanted to rush up and kick Chase's door open, but Kaleb stopped her.
He glanced at Chase's room with disdain and hissed, "It's definitely our disgrace to dirty our finger dealing with somebody like him. Jane, we're going to be rich soon, so we need to act like the rich. Well, as for this tea. I will buy it without him. I happened to know a friend who specializes in preparing tea leaves. I'll call and ask.
After speaking, he took his phone and called his friend. Andy.
Andy agreed to send a bag of tea leaves to Kaleb before he arranged for someone to deliver it immediately.
After hanging up, Kaleb said to Jane. "Seel Who does that brat think he is? Three million yuan? Oh geez, he is just embarrassing himself"
He took the only remaining sachet of Sakura Tea and asked Jane to boil some water. He then tore the package and poured the tea into the teapot before he took a picture of it and sent it to Andy.
In less than a minute, Andy called.
Kaleb showed his phone to Jane proudly and stated. "Look, my friend has gotten it."
"Hey Andy, you can deliver it to me right away. The price is negotiable. A few thousand yuan is definitely doable," said Kaleb turned on the loudspeaker, conceited.
But at this time, he heard a sudden roar on the phone. "D"mn! Sakura Tea! Kaleb, the tea that you want is the Sakura Teal Are you kidding me? A few thousand yuan? Where are you going to get it at this price? Let me tell you, the package you just tore open is already worth five thousand yuan!"
"Not to mention that it costs at least 300,000 yuan per catty. No, 300,000 yuan is far from enough! It's currently unavailable in the market.
Kaleb's hands quivered upon hearing what Andy said. He could feel his hair stand up:
Kaleb asked in horror, "Wait a minute, Andy. What did you just say? I don't think I understood you the first time.
On the phone, Andy's voice was obviously trembling. "Kaleb. oh, Kaleb. It's not that I don't want to help you but my hands are tied. Even if we have 300,000 yuan, we may not even be able to afford a catty of this Sakura tea."
This time, Kaleb and Jane heard him crystal clear.
They looked at each other in horror!
They thought, "Even if we have 300,000 yuan, we may not even be able to afford a catty of this Sakura tea."
What sort of tea was this? The tea was practically made of gold! 300,000 yuan as it was!
Even after Andy hung up, Kaleb and Jane were still in shock.
300,000 yuan!
Out of the blue, Jane pinched Kaleb's thigh hard and whined. helplessly, Kaleb, how can these leaves be so expensive? I even took 20 sachets to make herbal tea eggs the other day...
Kaleb's hands and feet went cold after hearing what Jane said She used tea leaves that were worth 300,000 yuan per catty to boil herbal tea eggs.
What an extortionate herbal tea egg they had eaten!
Damn!
What a wastel
Kaleb and Jane were filled with regret. That was definitely the most expensive dish they had ever eaten in their lives.
Kaleb looked at the package of tea leaves that he tore open, his hands shaking.
Water had been boiled. Should he make the tea or not? One pack of it was worth five to six thousand yuan!
They felt completely lost. When they came back to their senses, Jane slapped her thigh and exclaimed in a panic. "Oh no! Kaleb, we have promised Klutz to give him a catty. What should we do now? This tea is so expensivel Besides, not only it's expensive,but it's also impossible to get!"
Kaleb suddenly thought of the weird look Klutz gave when he offered him the tea.
He exclaimed to himself, "So this was what it was about!"
What a great deal he had just made!
He had just given 300,000 yuan worth of tea leaves to Klutz!
Kaleb slapped himself, dejected.
He blamed himself, "Why did I speak without thinking?"
He was a f'king idiot!
Everything was over now!
Just then, Bella came back, she just got off from work.
Jane rushed over as she saw Bella, clutching her hand with red eyes, and cried.
"Bella, you are finally back. Chase is about to ruin us!"
Bella had just gotten off work and was exhausted after dealing with countless company affairs. When she heard Jane's complaint, she asked depressingly. "Mom, why did you mess with Chase again?
Right then, Chase opened his room door too. He came out to get some water.
When Jane saw him, she grabbed Bella's hand and dashed to Chase, yelling, "This rascal is going to ruin us! He not only stole this tea from God-knows-where but also lied to us about it!
We're doomed now and it is all his fauli!"
Jane's tears cascaded down her cheeks as she added, "I don't care. You'd better ask this guy to buy me the same tea as soon as possible. Consider it a compensation fee for the distress he's caused us!"
Jane told everything to Bella.
Bella's face turned cold when she heard everything. She rebuked, "Mom! At the end of the day, this was all your fault! That tea was Chase's, but you took it without telling him! That's stealing! Chase didn't even blame you for taking his 30 sachets of tea. Based on your calculation, 30 sachets would cost at least 150,000 yuan. You should return the 150,000 yuan to Chase, then we'll talk!"
Not only did Bella not help jane, but she also asked them to pay Chase what the tea was worth. Her reaction did not go in line with Jane's plan at all.
Jane continued to make a scene. "You shameless couple! My life
is so miserable! What did I do to deserve both of you?!"
Chase and Bella glanced at each other and walked towards their room together.
Jane stomped her feet a couple of times, completely incensed.
Kaleb's face was colored with hopelessness. He said to Jane, Jane, we need to think of a plan. Ask every friend you have.. Otherwise, judging from how Klutz is, I'm definitely going to die miserably!"
Panicking, both of them took the phone and began to search for the Sakura Tea frantically.
However the Sakura Tea was way too expensive that no However, the Sakura Tea was way too expensive that no ordinary tea shop sold it.
Furthermore, the Sakura Tea was scarce this year due to the climate that had affected the production of the tea significantly. Little did they know that both of them were finding a needle in a haystack.
The two kept busy until midnight. Right then. Jane heard Kaleb shouting in surprise, "What?! You have it over there? Hahaha, that's great! Hurry, sell it to me! I'm in your debt eternally!"
Jane raced over immediately and squealed excitedly, "Is it settled, Kaleb?"
Just as Kaleb was about to nod his head, they heard a mocking voice on the phone. "Sell it to you? Okay. I have only one catty.
It costs one million yuan a catty. Come and pick it up yourself."
