Chapter 104: Talking Big Doesn''T Cost Anything


    Chapter 104: Talking Big Doesn''t Cost Anything


    It has been three years since theyst met, but the woman in front of him still caught his eye.


    When he first met Nora, he knew she was an ambitious girl. Three yearster, her ambition was


    clearly visible in her eyes.


    Teagan''s heart fluttered and he licked his lips alluringly.


    He took out a business card from his suit jacket and handed it to Nora, implying a lot with his


    gesture.


    Like an elder brother, he said, "This is my business card, Nora. If you ever have any difficulties in


    the future, you cane to me for help."


    "You and Danielle take your time, I''ll go first."


    Nora was a little hesitant to take the card as her scalp tingled from his burning gaze.


    She licked her back teeth and reached out to take it at the thought of Cheyenne having a luxury car


    and Master Todd''s favor.


    "Thank you, Teagan."


    Jane didn''t notice the subtle flirtation between the two, but she thought Teagan giving Nora his


    business card was a bit unnecessary. Isn''t Nora a good friend of his sister?


    Maybe she was overthinking it.


    After she dated Teagan, hepletely cut ties with the women he once flirted with and had stayed


    loyal for the past two years.


    Jane took a step forward and grabbed the man''s arm, saying in a cold voice, "Let''s go. My father


    said he wanted to introduce an important guest to you. Don''t keep them waiting too long."


    "Um."


    The two of them left the spot hand in hand, but Nora''s gaze remained fixed on the man''s back.


    As they walked away side by side, they looked like a match made in heaven.


    Danielle said goodbye to her older brother and future sister-inw, and turned around to see her


    friend still standing there with a dumbfounded look on her face. She reached out and waved her


    hand in front of Nora.


    "Nora, wake up. Why are you daydreaming?"


    She came back to her senses and tightly held the business card in her hand. She asked, pretending


    to be casual, "Danielle, what''s the background of your brother''s girlfriend?"


    When talking about her older brother''s girlfriend, Danielle''s face was filled with pride.


    "She is the youngdy of the Berry family. You know the Berry family, right? Cody Berry, the second


    largest shareholder of the Foley Group, is her father."


    Another name immediately came to Nora''s mind, and she grabbed Danielle''s arm excitedly.


    "So, what''s her... what''s her rtionship with Abbie Berry?"


    "Abbie is the cousin of my future sister-inw, and also the future wife of the CEO of the Foley


    Group."


    Danielle suddenly remembered that Mr. Foley''s ex-wife was Cheyenne and thought the mention of


    Abbie might anger Nora, since Abbie was her former brother-inw''s mistress.


    But Nora seemed even more excited than Danielle and said with shining eyes, "So that''s how it is."


    Cheyenne didn''t know what had happened over there. She wandered around the entire exhibition


    hall by herself. To be honest, she had seen a lot of good things before and was not impressed by


    these items.


    As she approached the end of the hall, a small bronze ornament caught her eye in an


    inconspicuous corner. She crouched down outside the ss case to take a closer look at the


    circr object about the size of her palm. The bronze was mottled due to its age and no longer


    featured traditional figures but rather foxes and nine-headed snakes as if telling some unknown


    mythological secret.


    "Can you read it?" Suddenly an old, hoarse voice came from behind her which nearly scared


    Cheyenne out of her wits. She took two steps back in surprise with a soft exmation escaping


    from between her red lips while cutely looking astonished all over.


    After regaining bnce on both feet again, she finally turned around to face the person behind her -


    an elderly man who looked about sixty years old wearing a ck cotton linen long gown paired with


    shiny leather shoes on his feet.


    Despite his wrinkled face, he still retained traces of handsomeness from his youth. He spoke with a


    bronze pipe in his mouth making buzzing water sounds while emitting purple smoke that slowly rose


    up into view causing his features to be blurred instantly giving off an odd yet mysterious


    feeling all over him.


    Cheyenne quickly thought through what she wanted to say in her mind before nodding and shaking


    it again, saying, "I understood some parts but there are still some I don''t understand."


    Her honest attitude made the old man smile kindly as he looked at Cheyenne''s face with gentle


    eyes, asking, "Tell me then, what did you understand? And what do you have trouble


    understanding?"


    This made Cheyenne feel like being called upon by a history teacher during ss time; despite


    feeling nervous inside when meeting this elder''s gaze, she bravely replied, "Looking at this gold-


    ted craftsmanship on this bronze sp, I can tell it can be traced back to BC 200."


    "The patterns on top are different from ordinary bronzes. ording to ancient records, they were


    first used in Dian Kingdom."


    "What I don''t understand is why there is a fox here? Moreover, why does it have its tail cut off?"


    As Cheyenne finished speaking, the old man''s approving gaze grew even stronger and he took a


    step forward with a smile.


    "Miss, you''re quite right. All your understanding about it is correct."


    Just as Cheyenne thought the old man was going to exin why the fox''s tail was cut off, he


    instead removed his pipe from his mouth and hid it into the sleeve of his long robe with a bitter


    smile.


    "As for what you don''t understand, I''m afraid even I can''t exin."


    Cheyenne was speechless. What a waste of emotions.


    Seeing her roll her eyes in secret, the old man smiled and added, "However, I do have the other half


    of this bronze sp."


    As soon as he spoke those words, Cheyenne was stunned. How could that be possible?


    Sensing her disbelief in his words, the old man chuckled awkwardly and exined further, "It''s at


    my house. It isn''t convenient to bring it out today."


    "You can talk all you want. After all, talking big doesn''t cost anything," Cheyenne retorted.


    Huh?


    This was actually the first time that someone had used him of bragging. The old man found it


    rather refreshing.


    "I''m not bragging," he insisted.


    Cheyenne patted him on the shoulder with an understanding expression on her face. "Alright then.


    Talking big is good for your mental health and self-confidence building. At your age, it''s natural to


    enjoy boasting about things like my grandfather does too."


    The old man couldn''t help butugh at this response while also wondering who exactly this girl''s


    grandfather was.


    "What is your name?" He asked curiously.


    Just as Cheyenne was about to answer him, she heard somemotion nearby - Nora had been


    surrounded by the crowd with Danielle crying beside her looking distraught.


    "What happened?" She couldn''t help but walk over curiously.
