Ye Tianyu was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds, he realized that he had been too careless.

I promised Lin Xueyan I would meet Hong Guoliang, but I forgot about it after leaving Lin Zedong's shop in the jade market.

Seven or eight days passed in a flash, and I had completely forgotten about it.

So he said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I had other things to do after I finished my business last time, so I forgot!"

"Here's what we'll do! Tell Hong Guoliang to reschedule for another time!"

"But not now, I'm on my way to run some errands!"

"You're really busy!"

Lin Xueyan gave a sarcastic remark, then said, "Fine, I'll pass that on to Chairman Hong. I hope you won't break your promise again next time!"

"No problem, I definitely won't break my promise again!"

Ye Tianyu hung up the phone after speaking.

Fang Xueqing frowned and glanced at him sideways: "Hong Guoliang asked you to meet him?"

"Um!"

Ye Tianyu nodded and recounted how Lin Xueyan had stopped him on the way and how he had promised to meet Hong Guoliang.

After saying that, he gave a bitter smile: "I didn't expect that after returning to the Fang Group with you, I would forget about it!"

Fang Xueqing glared at him after hearing this, thinking to herself, "Last time I came back to the company, you tormented me for hours in the break room. How could you possibly remember that?"

She didn't say it aloud, but said with a serious expression, "Hong Guoliang wanted to see you as soon as he arrived in Jiangnan. It's obvious that after swallowing up the Liu Group, he wants to win you over!"

Ye Tianyu scoffed: "If I wanted to join the Hong Group, I would have agreed to Lin Xueyan's offer long ago. What good would it do if Hong Guoliang met with me? The answer would be the same: impossible!"

"Since you won't agree, why do you still want to see him?" Fang Xueqing asked, puzzled.

"Will Hong Guoliang give up if we don't go see him?"

Ye Tianyu resolutely said, "Instead of being harassed every day, I might as well just meet him directly and make him give up on this idea."

Fang Xueqing thought about it and realized it made sense, so she fell silent and stopped talking.

Arriving at the jade market, it was quite crowded and lively today.

Fang Xueqing told Ye Tianyu that the jade market holds four small to medium-sized jade gambling events every month.

Today is the day for a medium-sized jade gambling event, so it's much more lively than usual.

Ye Tianyu nodded.

"There's an event going on, perfect opportunity for me to put my skills to the test!"

"Let's go check out the jade gambling site!"

Fang Xueqing was very familiar with the place and quickly led Ye Tianyu to the jade gambling site.

There were a lot of people, mostly people who gamble on stones and jade collectors.

The two of them finally managed to squeeze to the front.

There was a table set up on the scene, and the ground was covered with raw stones of various sizes.

To the right is a cutting machine used for cutting stones.

The organizer was a middle-aged man who was standing in front of a table. Several people gambling on stones were next to him, each holding a piece of rough stone and carefully examining it with a small, powerful flashlight.

Fang Xueqing pointed to the middle-aged man and said to Ye Tianyu, "His name is Duan Sihai. He organizes most of the jade gambling activities in the jade market."

"Um!"

Ye Tianyu nodded and said, "Then he must be a prominent figure in the jade market!"

As he spoke, he stepped forward to pick up a piece of raw stone to examine.

Just then, a man and a woman suddenly walked up to Duan Sihai from the crowd.

"Master Duan, we're here to snag another bargain!"

"puff!"

Ye Tianyu's pupils dilated: "Wife, look, it's Lin Hao and Lin Bing."

Fang Xueqing's expression turned slightly cold.

"Yes! It's those two siblings. That bastard can finally come out and move around."

"It seems that apart from lacking masculine vigor, he's otherwise normal!"

"Of course, look at the eunuchs in ancient times, didn't they all look just like normal people?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Duan Sihai's surprised voice came over.

"Oh! Young Master Lin and Miss Lin are here again!"

"Hehe! With you guys here, it'll be hard for anyone else to snag a bargain today!"

"Of course!"

Lin Bing put her hands on her hips and said, "My Lin family is a family of jade experts. When it comes to gambling on jade, who can compare with us?"

He was arrogant and looked down on everyone.

"Is the Lin family really that powerful?"

Ye Tianyu suddenly pulled Fang Xueqing forward: "I'm going to have a match with you two today!"

Lin Hao and Lin Bing turned to look upon hearing this.

In an instant, the brother and sister's expressions changed drastically, and their eyes flashed with hatred.

"Ye Tianyu, Fang Xueqing, you're actually here?"

Their words immediately caused an uproar at the scene.

"Oh! The pride of heaven has arrived too."

"And Ye Tianyu..."

Fang Xueqing is a well-known figure in Jiangnan, and many people know her.

Ye Tianyu's reputation had already spread throughout Jiangnan due to his recent scandal with Fang Xueqing.

Meanwhile, he has been starting a successful business in the Tianbaoshan Scenic Area in recent months, and is a well-known figure in the business world.

The fact that the two appeared at the jade gambling site at the same time naturally caused a sensation.

Many people believe that only a three-year-old would believe that Ye Tianyu and Fang Xueqing are so close and there is no romantic relationship between them.

Ignoring everyone's gazes and discussions, Ye Tianyu responded to Lin Hao and Lin Bing's words.

"What's wrong? If you can come, why can't we?"

"Yes, of course!"

Lin Hao immediately pointed at Ye Tianyu: "Our feud hasn't been resolved yet. Since we've met here today, it means you're also here to gamble on jade, right?"

"Yes! So what?" Ye Tianyu said indifferently.

"Okay, so you're here to gamble on stones, then there's potential!"

Lin Hao's face twisted into a ferocious grin: "Let's gamble on jade, are you in?"

He couldn't have Fang Xueqing, and Ye Tianyu crippled him, so he could never touch a woman again. His mind was filled with hatred for Ye Tianyu.

He knew that Ye Tianyu's martial arts were too strong, making revenge difficult.

Meeting you here today is the perfect opportunity to vent my anger.

He believed that his family had been involved in jade for generations, while Ye Tianyu, despite his martial arts skills, knew nothing about jade.

If you gamble on jade with him, you can completely control him.

If he dares to agree, we can take the opportunity to humiliate him and make him look bad on the spot. It can be considered as venting our anger before taking revenge.

Ye Tianyu said arrogantly, "What's there to be afraid of? How do you want to play?"

Fang Xueqing crossed her arms, looking calm and composed.

Ye Tianyu is here today to practice his treasure appraisal skills, and having Lin Hao accompany him is the best thing ever.

She takes winning and losing lightly.

As long as Ye Tianyu can put his ideas into practice, what does it matter if Lin Hao mocks him?

Ye Tianyu shared the same thought.

When gambling on jade, it's natural to win and lose; that's normal. There's no need to take pride too seriously. If you lose to Lin Hao, let him laugh if he wants to.

When Lin Hao saw that Ye Tianyu had agreed, a sinister smile immediately crept across his lips.

"It's very simple. We each select three rough stones, and after each of us examines them, whoever has the highest probability of finding a gem wins."

"If all three rough stones from both sides yield treasures, then the one with the better quality will win!"

"Is this game fair?"

"Yes! Very fair!"

Ye Tianyu smiled slightly: "Let's play it this way!"
