Shen Wangshu only hoped that Ouyang Yu and Gao Wanning's wishes would come true, and that they would work hard and diligently to find jade for the Ouyang family.

As she thought this, Gao Wanning slumped weakly on the sofa in her apartment. Even though there were messy things around her, she really didn't have the strength to tidy up.

She rubbed her eyes wearily, fumbled for the eye drops that Old Master Ouyang had specially bought for her from abroad, put in two drops, and felt the rare coolness and moisturization. Her dry eyes no longer ached and watered. Only then did she carefully put away the supposedly very expensive eye drops and sigh wearily.

She's been gambling on stones these past few days, and whether it's just her imagination or not, her eyesight seems to have gotten much worse.

But she couldn't care less about that now.

The fact that Ouyang Yu and Shen Shuya broke off their engagement was the greatest encouragement for Gao Wanning.

She looked at the small but exquisitely decorated apartment and bit her lip hard.

The old master of the Ouyang family was very kind and loving to her, but she understood even more clearly that her status was far from that of Ouyang Yu's wife.

When she heard that the engagement was being called off, she wanted to go and show her defiance to Shen Shuya, but she hung up the phone, leaving her with no chance to gloat.

Gao Wanning was about to burst with frustration, but compared to marrying Ouyang Yu and becoming Ouyang Jewelry's granddaughter-in-law, these little frustrations were nothing.

Ouyang Jewelry was in dire straits, and her timely act of kindness would be something that Old Master Ouyang would remember for the rest of his life.

Moreover, Gao Wanning had her own considerations.

While she was gambling on stones for the Ouyang family, she secretly kept several very rare rough stones and hid them away.

She had recently used all her money to repay the Ouyang family in order to recoup the ten million yuan that Ouyang Yu had lent her to the company's account, so she was truly broke. However, there were ways to make money when she was broke. As long as she included these few pieces as an add-on when buying those rough stones from Shen's Jewelry, she wouldn't have to spend a single penny to get these jadeite pieces.

So these days, she's been very diligent in gambling on stones, having searched every stone gambling shop in S City, but unfortunately, she found that very few of them were truly valuable.

What's even more despicable about these rough stone dealers is that when they learned she was trying to help Ouyang Jewelry, they all refused to let her continue buying rough stones from the gambling shop.

She couldn't understand what had happened, but she also felt a little flustered, wondering if she should temporarily stop selling the materials to Ouyang Jewelry.

Ouyang Yu had caused a major disaster and was confined by Old Master Ouyang. Gao Wanning vaguely knew that it was because of her affair with Ouyang Yu that she had angered Shen's Jewelry, which led to this predicament.

But as she observed him coldly, it seemed that Old Master Ouyang didn't harbor any resentment towards her. He was very kind to her when she visited, which relieved her.

She thought Shen Shuya was truly vicious; just because her fiancé liked another woman, she wanted to exterminate his entire family. She was a resilient person, and now that she was only one step away from marrying Ouyang Yu, after much deliberation, she gritted her teeth and took out a piece of exquisite jade that she had kept for herself.

This jadeite is a bit small; it's cut into an oval cabochon, only big enough to make a ring. However, the color is an extremely rich green, and the translucency is excellent. She had read some books on jade gambling, and this was a rare imperial green of the glass type, worth a fortune, making it quite exceptional.

Gao Wanning looked at the valuable jade and gritted her teeth.

Although she is giving a lot now, she will naturally have more when she marries into Ouyang Jewelry and helps Ouyang Yu manage the entire company!

However, Ouyang Yu was not an only son; he also had a cousin.

Thinking of Ouyang Tang, who was so cold to her and looked down on her no matter what, Gao Wanning gritted her teeth.

She now lives in a small apartment under Ouyang Yu's name, a hundred times better than the small rented house she used to live in. This is clearly Ouyang Yu's property, but Ouyang Tang insists on taking advantage of it. He even suggested at the Ouyang family dinner table that he kick her out and forbid her from having any more contact with Ouyang Yu, just to please Shen Shuya and to apologize to some inexplicable "Master Xue".

Gao Wanning hated Ouyang Tang so much for his ruthlessness and mercenary nature, and vowed that if she ever got the chance to turn her life around, she would never let him go.

However, it would be a bit far-fetched to say such things at this point.

Ouyang Yu is still imprisoned, and it seems that his status in Old Master Ouyang's heart is far less than that of his cousin.

It was because of this thought that Gao Wanning was determined to demonstrate her value.

Grandpa Ouyang doted on her and wasn't the kind of person who looked down on others. When Ouyang Tang suggested kicking her out, Grandpa Ouyang even scolded his grandson, which gave Gao Wanning more hope.

Thinking of her special ability, a faint smile appeared on her lips as she once again played with a small piece of raw material in her hand, lost in thought.

What she knew was that Shen Shuya had resigned from Ouyang Jewelry and dissolved the engagement between the two families after the conflict with Ouyang Yu at the jade gambling shop that day.

This woman was incredibly foolish. If she hadn't been born into a good family, Gao Wanning would have been nothing more than cannon fodder. But since she had handed over Ouyang Yu so readily, Gao Wanning naturally wouldn't hold back. She devoted all her energy to currying favor with the Ouyang family. Although her reputation soared, backed by Ouyang Jewelry, she disdained associating with ordinary small jewelry companies.

She resolutely refused all invitations to gamble on stones, fearing that it would displease Old Master Ouyang.

Therefore, although this jade-clad woman's voice was widely known in S City, it was not considered very pleasant to listen to.
