100 years before Divorce - Chapter 235

Don’t get Guan Xian wrong. He wasn’t doing shady business even though he needs to make a deal with a drug lord.

The truth is, he heard about a red diamond in his hand. There are only two of them in the world, and Xiao Ni had one inside her closet. Guan Xian wishes to give Xia Sha the other red diamond and the famous Blue diamond of Graff as his wedding gift.

Coincidentally, both diamonds were own by Mr. Manuel Martinez’s dear wife. Hence, Guan Xian personally comes to Barcelona, where the couple is spending their holiday together.

“Mr. Guan, Welcome to Barcelona,” The man with grumpy looks said with his cold and heavy voice.

Guan Xian didn’t mind his action. A thin smile of respect remains on his face as he shook Mr. Martinez’s hand.

“Thank you, Mr. Martinez. Barcelona is one of my favorites places among the others.”

Guan Xian replied with fluent Spanish, gathering a flicker of interest from Manuel. Although Manuel looks surprised and impressed, he didn’t lower his guard by dropping a hint of a smile. His expression remains cold as he nods his head slightly.

“I’m not surprised, but I’m not impressed as well when I heard you want my wife’s diamond. What makes you think you could buy it from us?”

The raise of Mr. Manuel’s thick eyebrow could make an ordinary man shivers. He was offended, and he doesn’t hesitate to shows it to Guan Xian.

Thank God Guan Xian was never ordinary. While Manuel comes with twenty fully armed bodyguards, he stood tall alone, grinning at Manuel as if he owns the scene.

“I believe we could negotiate the number, but if it’s ain’t possible, I might have my another way,” Guan Xian smirked, pulling out something from his suit.

Manuel squinted his eyes when he recognizes the glossy paper on Guan Xian’s hand. He scoffed and rudely split on the ground. His gaze indicates terror as his army pointed out their guns at Guan Xian.

“You are blunt, young man. What makes you think a piece of paper could deliver you the most precious gemstone on the earth? You must be a good friend of the god of death,” Manuel let out mocking laughter as he pulled out a cigarette and lit it up.

Guan Xian chuckled along with Manuel, as they were an old friend joking at each other. Manuel and his crew gritted their teeth. Guan Xian is acting as if their guns were a mere toy in his eyes. Without any shame or anxiety, Guan Xian went on threatening Manuel to achieve his goals.

“Come on, old man, this is a twenty centuries. You don’t think I can’t have this access to send these pictures to your wife or all your identities to the government just because I’m here with you, don’t you?”

Manuel took a rough breath before he raises his hand and makes his team put down their gun. His expression becomes ugly while Guan Xian’s smile remains unfaded.

“Let’s be honest here. I’m long gone from doing the business, but you got me there. As much as I wished to make your pretty faces into one of my house’s decorations, I’m too lazy to deal with your crazy family dynasties. But I’m afraid I couldn’t give you the Graff diamond,” Manuel lowered his head as his face turned few shades darker.

The first time in their conversation, Guan Xian’s lips dropped. He raised one of his eyebrows with a questioning look to Manuel. Manuel titled his head and averted his gaze with an awkward cough.

A dry chuckle filled the old houseware as Guan Xian tried to think positively.

“Don’t worry, just tell me where the diamond is right now. I will contact them myself,” Guan Xian said as the smile grow back on his bright face.

Sadly, Manuel shook his head with a look of pessimism. He rolled out his tongue to wet the upper side of his lips before mumbling his confession.

“Sorry mate, I tried to ask my wife the moment you call. But, I’m afraid, a few flings in Costa Rica a few years ago make my wife throw the damned diamond into the deep ocean. I’m so sorry,” Manuel stretched his bald head as he looks at Guan Xian with guilty eyes.

Guan Xian almost dropped his shoulder and jaw at the first time. He furiously walked to Manuel and frowned at him.

“Whoa, stop with that ugly face, young boy! I still have the good news,” Manuel panicky called his underlings to bring a box for Guan Xian.

Guan Xian rolled his eyes and rolled up his shelf to check the red diamond.

“Your aunt gifted the diamond as your wedding gift. Congratulations, little brat,” Manuel mumble closely beside Guan Xian as they observed the blood-colored diamond. He tapped Guan Xian’s board back as Guan Xian put the box inside his suit pocket.

“Thank You,” Guan Xian replied, showing a pressed smile at Manuel.

“Is this why you go through so much to find this diamond? You even call your aunt behind your mother,” Manuel asked.

Guan Xian knew that the question was inevitable. To obtain the red diamond Guan Xian called his mother’s cousin that walked away from the family. His aunt decided to marry the mafia despite their family’s objection, and mother Guan felt betrayed. Guan Xian knew his mother and his aunt stop talking ever since.

Mother Guan might disown him if she ever learned about this.

“Well, she didn’t ask for this. I only want to make her dream come true,” Guan Xian answers. Facing Manuel, Guan Xian shows a discreet smile as he expresses his gratitude for his help.

“Say my thanks to Aunt Qi. She knew that my mom is soft-hearted. She only needs to act shameless and come to the party.”

“Will see about that.”

“Alright, I need to head out first. There is an ocean to swim in for creating a dream come true,” Guan Xian bids goodbye to his so-called uncle with a goal half done.

He had the red diamond. Now, he only needs to find the Graff stone before he could come back to Capital City. Finding a gem in the middle of the ocean seems to be like an impossible task, and for that, he might need some help from the mission-impossible crew.

Pulling out his phone, he opens mirrored software on his phone and pressed the danger signal. The alert the button creates should be enough to gather the boys tonight. He left the phone behind with peace of mind that didn’t last long when he looked at Tang Yu Bin’s dark face.

Tang Yu Bin glaring at him when Guan Xian slipped inside the car. The happy humming stopped as Guan Xian carefully asked him, “What happen?”

Why did the expressionless assistant suddenly throwing a tantrum?

“Boss, how could you do this to me? I knew as your assistant I should sometimes cover you for your mess, but not his kind of mess!” Tang Yu Bin furrowed his eyebrow.

“What are you talking about?” Guan Xian asked in confusion.

“I’m talking about you and the responsibilities you should take towards Ms. Ye! How could you do this to me, to miss Xia?!”

Tang Yu Bin’s baseless accusation got Guan Xian stunned.

“That’s more like a face you need to show right now, Boss. You should be guilty of sacrificing me like this. The Ye family wanted compensation for things that you did to Ms. Ye. They deem for a marriage. But, for you and the sake of Ms. Xia’s happiness, I’ve decided to sacrifice myself and take responsibility. I wish you a happy marriage, Boss!”

Tang Yu Bin’s long tirade with an upset face had successfully make Guan Xian’s haw dropped. An instant headache attacked Guan Xian’s head as he couldn’t cope with Tang Yu Bin’s words. It looks like he should distance him from Fu Qun.

He tried to comprehend Tang Yu Bin’s words slowly before his brain started to digest all the new information he just heard.

“What did I do to Ye Zhen Zhen, on what base they could demand responsibilities from me? And if someone starts with a pregnant cliche, that is obviously very wrong because I always go out with you at day and spend the night with Xia Sha,” Guan Xian raised his hand and stopped Tang Yu Bin when he wanted to answer his first questions.

“Well, it’s not about pregnancy, but it’s about taking Miss Ye’s innocent on your debut party. Boss, I thought you are a dignified gentleman!”

“What??!” Guan Xian shouted.

“Yes, What? I couldn’t believe it too!” Tang Yu Bin added.

“No, you shouldn’t believe that! That is not true!” Guan Xian furiously said as he pulled his phone from his pocket.

“Well, how could I not believe in that? They had a video as proof!” Tang Yu Bin replied, transferring the file he just received to Guan Xian.

“What?!”
