"What are you doing here?" Ye Tianyu asked in return.

I'm here to buy jewelry!

Liu Qingyao pointed to the exquisite gift box she was carrying in her left hand: "A sapphire necklace and a South African diamond ring!"

Ye Tianyu glanced at it, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"Is this why you were willing to be kept by Hong Guoliang?"

"Not bad, she slept with him yesterday and today she's dressed up and buying high-end jewelry."

"That's great, we're going to have good days ahead!"

He shrugged and held up a bag in his hand: "I just came to browse and bought a few stones. I can't compare to you!"

He walked past Liu Qingyao as he spoke.

"Ye Tianyu..."

Liu Qingyao said coldly, "You don't need to laugh at me. One day, you will be trampled under my feet!"

Ye Tianyu turned around and smiled calmly.

"I understand, you willingly degraded yourself to become Hong Guoliang's mistress because you want to use him to climb the social ladder!"

"But I advise you, Hong Guoliang is more shrewd than you, he won't give you what you want."

"If you don't wake up, in the end you'll lose both your reputation and your fortune, and be completely played by him!"

"Your loss of the Liu Group is proof of that!"

After saying this, he strode away.

Liu Qingyao stood there, biting her lip.

"We'll see, I'll definitely make a comeback!"

"Ye Tianyu, if you don't give me a chance to get back together, I'll make you kneel before me and beg me in the future."

Ye Tianyu returned to his small mansion, and thinking about the scene of encountering Liu Qingyao at the jade market, he couldn't help but feel bitter.

Fang Xueqing suspected yesterday that Liu Qingyao was willing to be kept by Hong Guoliang for some ulterior motive.

Actually, he had a rough idea.

Liu Qingyao has been reduced to working as a waitress in a coffee shop; there's no way she can ever turn her life around.

However, a chance encounter with Hong Guoliang, who took a liking to her, gave her a turning point.

She was tricked by Lin Xueyan, and the Liu Group was almost given away to the Hong Group for free.

There was actually a deep-seated hatred between her and Hong Guoliang.

The reason she was willing to become Hong Guoliang's mistress, besides wanting to use him to climb the social ladder, was probably also because of a revenge plan.

But Hong Guoliang is a cunning old fox, and for Liu Qingyao to fight him is like throwing an egg against a rock.

However, Liu Qingyao had hurt him too deeply in the past.

That's why he told Fang Xueqing not to pay attention to Liu Qingyao's affairs.

The advice he gave her at the jade market was well-intentioned; whether Liu Qingyao listened to it or not was her business, and he couldn't control it!

Currently, what he needs to do is expand his business.

The day after tomorrow is the jade gambling competition. He will rely on the appraisal skills he learned from the Qilin Treasure Mirror to show his skills at the competition. Will he be able to make a name for himself? Let's wait and see.

He was not selfish either; he entered the jade industry under the name of Tianyu Group, and the villagers of Tianbaoshan Tribe remained shareholders.

We must not forget those who dug the well when we drink the water. Without the support of the villagers, there would be no glory for Tianbaoshan Scenic Area when it was first established.

The next day, Ye Tianyu arrived at Tianbao Mountain and asked Mulan to convene another meeting of the villagers.

Since the Tianbaoshan Scenic Area started making a fortune, the villagers have long since worshipped Ye Tianyu as a god, and obey him in everything.

Therefore, when Ye Tianyu announced his intention to enter the jade industry, everyone cheered and enthusiastically supported him.

Mu Lan admired Ye Tianyu immensely. After the meeting, she immediately ran over and affectionately took Ye Tianyu's arm, claiming that she wanted to go see her clan chief father together.

This startled Ye Tianyu, who quickly excused himself, saying he needed to prepare for the jade gambling competition the day after tomorrow, and hurriedly left.

Mu Lan was so angry that she pouted and stomped her feet for a long time.

Ye Tianyu ignored her, found a room in the hotel, and continued to study the Qilin Treasure Mirror.

Soon, the day of the jade gambling competition arrived.

Ye Tianyu arrived at Fang's Group early in the morning to find Fang Xueqing.

However, upon entering the office, Fang Xueqing was nowhere to be seen, nor was Lin Man.

Ye Tianyu frowned. They had agreed to go to the jade gambling competition together today, but Fang Xueqing wasn't there.

Are you still in bed?

Ye Tianyu immediately dialed Fang Xueqing's number.

"Honey, we're going to a jade gambling competition today, where are you?"

"Tianyu, I have an urgent matter to attend to. I brought Lin Man with me!"

"I can't go with you to the jade gambling competition. Go by yourself. I'm sure you'll steal the show at the competition."

"Oh, and just in case, let's call Optimus Prime to come along!"

Ye Tianyu looked surprised: "Wife, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry to deal with it?"

"I can't tell you now, I'll talk to you when I get back!"

Fang Xueqing hung up the phone after speaking.

Ye Tianyu frowned deeply. At this critical juncture, for Fang Xueqing to give up accompanying him to the jade gambling competition, things were clearly not simple. What exactly happened?

However, Fang Xueqing didn't say why, nor where she went, so his anxiety was useless.

We'll have to wait until she gets back to discuss it.

He then made a phone call to Qingtianhu, asking him to take a few men to the jade market.

Fang Xueqing was right to tell him to be on the safe side, after all, the jade gambling competition is a big event, and Lin Zedong will be betting against him on the spot today, so he must have made preparations.

Therefore, we should call on Optimus Prime so that if Lin Zedong tries to cause trouble, we can suppress him.

I put away my phone, got into my Mercedes-Benz, and headed to the jade market.

The jade gambling competition is the most important event in the jade market.

Jewelers and jade gamblers from all over the country enthusiastically participated.

This jade gambling competition was held in the East Square of the Jade Market.

When Ye Tianyu arrived at the jade market, it was already packed with people.

After finally finding a parking space and parking my car, I followed the crowd to the East Square.

Just as I was about to squeeze inside to find a seat, Optimus Prime arrived with more than ten people.

Ye Tianyu immediately said, "You've come at the right time. Clear a path and we'll go to the front!"

"Yes, Master!"

Optimus Prime then turned fierce and ordered more than ten of his men to push aside the crowded people.

As expected of the king of the underworld, the crowd was intimidated by his arrogant and domineering aura, and they all parted to make way for him.

Ye Tianyu walked easily to the front row. Qingtianhu and more than ten of his men stood behind him in a row, not allowing anyone to get close, just like a big shot.

Ye Tianyu glanced around.

This is a major competition; the scale of it is truly impressive.

A large open space, about the size of a basketball court, was cleared in the middle.

At both ends, large and small raw stones were piled up. Judging by sight, it would probably take ten trucks to haul them all away.

The stage was right across from us. The host was a beautiful woman in her twenties. On the fabric sofas on either side sat four elderly men in blue long gowns. They were clearly senior figures in the jade industry, here to serve as notaries for today's jade gambling competition.

Ye Tianyu's gaze shifted, and he quickly noticed several fiery eyes staring at him...
