The onlookers were all waiting for Hao Jian's response. The reason they gathered here was to see Hao Jian make a fool of himself. Why else would they waste their time? They wanted to see if this poor kid could actually come up with the money and get scammed.
In Huaxia, what never lacks are people eager to watch the spectacle. No matter how busy they are, if there's something to see, they'll definitely be there. It's a phenomenon that's persisted for ages.
The shop owner urged Hao Jian again, threatening that if he didn't produce the money, he should leave immediately. He mocked him saying it was ridiculous to gamble on stones without even having ten thousand yuan, implying that a poor kid like Hao Jian should give up on pursuing someone like Liang Yuwei, a rich and beautiful woman.
Hao Jian wiped his hands, looked at Liang Yuwei, and said, "I didn't bring any money with me. Lend me ten thousand yuan, and I'll pay you back later!"
