Though she saw Bai Chen stand up from the bench he was sitting on, the genius woman’s rage did not decrease at all. She stared at him coldly as if he had been enraging her for several years.
,m Bai Chen did not care about her icy gaze though. He held the magic glasses in his hands and asked, “So you don’t believe what I told you?”
“Who on earth would?!? Do you think I’m dumb?” The woman stood up from the long marble bench. She widened her eyes to glare at him with anger and prepared to turn around and walk away.
But before she could do that, Bai Chen said, “If you don’t believe me, sister, there’s nothing I can do. But don’t leave yet. I have something for you.”
“You’re not talking about those glasses in your hand, right?” She did not take her leave but remained there to listen to his words. The glasses in his hand were exceedingly eye-catching, which was why she took notice of them.
“You’re right. These are magic glasses. I made them with the magic spells that I know. If you wear these, you'll be able to see like a normal person even though you're blind. And if you continue to wear them for a while, your sight will return to normal. You won’t be blind anymore.”
Bai Chen told her calmly, but at the same time was prepared to deal with her wrath.
“Rubbish!” the genius lady bursted out in a cold voice. She felt that the more time she spent with this boy, the angrier she became. It looked like he was toying with her emotions about her impending blindness.
“Do you take me for a three-year-old who would believe this nonsense?!?”
“Calm down. Just wear these and you’ll see. If they don’t do as I’ve claimed, you can just throw them away. I’m just asking you to give them a try,” he said while offering her the magic glasses.
For Bai Chen, just this woman taking the glasses would be enough. His mission would be complete, and he would be rewarded 30 points. Therefore, it was not at all peculiar that he would cope with her bad temper with great patience.
The genius lady did not answer. She went quiet, eyes locked on the beautiful gold-framed glasses in Bai Chen’s hand. She stared at them for a long while because her sight was now all weak and blurry. Everything was so unclear.
After taking a closer look, the woman was overcome by a sense of awe—all because she saw that the glasses’ frames were made of pure gold.
She did not greatly enjoy wearing accessories, but she was knowledgeable enough to realise what was genuine and what was not.
She had never imagined that this 18-year-old boy would have glasses made of pure gold.
‘He must be the son of a rich family whose wealth is in its second generation; otherwise, there’s no way this guy would have customised glasses made from gold like these,’ the genius lady thought to herself.
At the same time, the woman felt disgust towards Bai Chen. She clearly had the misunderstanding that he really was the son of a rich family whose wealth was in its second generation pretending to wear normal clothing worth a few hundred yuan just for the purpose of courting her.
“Fine, I’ll take them.” She still took his glasses. In her eyes, they were quite beautiful, and it was also one of the ways to alleviate her anger. Taking the glasses meant she would get to make the boy in front of her lose something precious without getting anything from her in return. She reached out her hand to take the gift.
After handing over the magic glasses to the woman, Bai Chen turned around and bolted. He ran away quite fast, disappearing from the blurry sight of the genius lady in a flash.
He fled was because he did not want to run into complications after handing over the gift. That very problem was the effect of the magic glasses. After the woman wore them, she would definitely feel flabbergasted.
Then, Bai Chen would definitely be interrogated about how he made the glasses, even though he had already lied to her about making the glasses with his magic spells.
Bai Chen could only hope that he would never run into her ever again, because he did not want to tell her anything about the Life Changing System.
The genius lady felt sudden shock when she saw Bai Chen speeding off like that. She could not see him in her field of vision any longer because her eyesight was very hazy.
“What on Earth…?” The lady could only make her remark with confusion. She could not follow through with what was happening. The woman did not understand why Bai Chen would hurriedly escape after giving her the gold-framed glasses.
After a while, she shook her head helplessly. It looked like this guy she had met was actually bonkers. She lowered her head to look at the gold-framed glasses in her hand, flipping them around to study them and realising that they were indeed made from real gold.
“That guy is really the son of a rich family whose wealth is in its second generation. Or else, there would be no way he could have had these glasses custom-made,” she mumbled before pulling apart the temples of the glasses and putting them on.
As soon as she put them on, her eyes almost doubled in size with bewilderment. Her vision was no longer cloudy, but clear as day.
“W… what’s this?!?” Her lips parted slightly, letting out a raspy sound. She could now see very clearly; her vision was no longer blurred.
The genius woman blinked multiple times to make sure that what she was seeing was real. The scene in front of her was indeed a confirmation that she was not wrong.
Her heart raced and her breathing grew heavy. The woman inhaled deeply, trying to calm down. She took the glasses off and found that her vision reverted to its cloudy state.
“What happened exactly? What are these lenses made of? How can I see everything so clearly?”
Her eyebrows knitted with curiosity and bewilderment. She could not understand how only these glasses could clear up her vision, unlike the many other expensive eyeglasses she had tried on today!
