Yaya looked at her mother in confusion, then looked at Yalu and stretched out her arms to him, "Daddy, hug me!" Dad and Mommy must be playing games.
Yalu looked at Yaya with cold eyes, his clenched fists trembling slightly. He wanted to kill the mother and son immediately, but looking at Yaya's innocent eyes, the soft cry, and the way he wanted to hold him, his heart felt like it was being tightly grasped, making him feel short of breath.
"Daddy!" Seeing that Yalu didn't reach out to hug her as usual, Yaya struggled to get down from Duoya's arms, ran to Yalu, stretched out her little hands to hug his legs, raised her head, and looked at Yalu with her innocent big eyes blinking, "Daddy, hug me!"
Yalu lowered his head and met Yaya's big obsidian eyes. Scenes from the past flashed through his mind like a movie. Gradually, his cold eyes showed a hint of warmth.
He bent down and picked up Yaya, "Dad asks you a question, who is better, Dad or Uncle Aji."
"Hello, Dad." Yaya answered without hesitation.
Yalu curled his lips, looked down at Duoya, and said in a cold voice: "For Yaya's sake, I won't kill you, but from this moment on, your status is a slave."
After saying that, he turned around and walked outside with Yaya in his arms. For those who betrayed him, even if he didn't kill her, he would make her life worse than death.
Watching the father and son disappear through the doorway, Duoya collapsed to the ground, sobbing. She knew that Yalu had done his utmost by not killing her. She didn't hate him, only that she hadn't rejected him then. She hated herself for being with him while still entangled with Aji. This was all her own fault.
The streets were crowded with people, and stalls selling raw stones were everywhere.
"This is Bombay Market, Myanmar's largest rough diamond trading market. Most of these vendors belong to powerful factions, and the mix of factions is so diverse that even when buying rough diamonds, many people choose to swallow their anger even if they're dominated by the vendors," Xu Jinfeng said to Su Jinyue. Of the group, only Su Jinyue was visiting Myanmar for the first time. While she wasn't one to stir up trouble, a warning never went amiss.
Su Jinyue nodded in understanding. This world is a world where the strong are respected. Only those with strength can have the right to speak.
"Let's go to that stall and take a look. The stall owner is a very nice uncle. We bought the raw stones at his stall when we came here last year." Xu Jinfeng said, pointing to a raw stone stall in front.
Su Jinyue nodded and walked towards the stall with Xu Jinfeng and the others. She had a mine and was no longer interested in buying raw stones. However, since Xu Jinfeng was one of them, she naturally wanted to help him find more good raw stones.
When we arrived at the stall Xu Jinfeng mentioned, we saw several people gathered around a piece of raw stone that was as tall as a person, studying it.
Su Jinyue glanced at the rough stone, her gaze penetrating the surface and extending into the interior. A pure green color struck her eyes. It turned out to be a crystal clear piece of top-grade glass jadeite.
"Let's go take a look at that raw stone." Su Jinyue retracted her gaze and said to Xu Jinfeng who was looking at a raw stone.
Xu Jinfeng nodded. He had just arrived at the stall when he saw the rough stone, but there were too many people looking at it, so he didn't want to join in the fun. However, since Su Jinyue wanted to see it, he went to take a look together.
Coming to the rough stone, Xu Jinfeng took a look at the surface of the rough stone and saw a crack about one centimeter deep on it. He shook his head and said, "It is unlikely that this rough stone will produce green. Even if it can produce green, the jade inside will not be very good." People who know the business know that it is better to be afraid of small cracks than big cracks. It is better not to gamble on rough stones like this one with small cracks on the surface.
"I'm just worried about this little streak," an old man studying a rough stone said. He had come to the stall and spotted the rough stone. It looked good, but this little streak made him hesitate. A rough stone this large would cost at least two or three hundred thousand yuan. If he lost the bet, he'd be broke.
"Let's look at other rough stones," Xu Jinfeng said. He had enough money to buy this rough stone, but he couldn't afford to buy it knowing it was unlikely to produce green.
"I think this rough stone really catches my eye. How about this? If no one buys it, how about we each take half?" Su Jinyue suggested. The rough stone had a skin about 20 to 30 centimeters thick, but even so, a large piece of jadeite still lay within. Jadeite of this quality, even half, would be priceless.
Xu Jinfeng hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Then let's decide it this way." He and Su Jinyue have known each other for so long, and he knows her a little bit. Even if he doesn't agree, she will buy this raw stone.
After buying the rough stone, he would immediately find someone to open it, so that Su Jinyue would know that gambling on rough stones was not as easy as it seemed. Just think of it as him paying for her to learn a lesson.
People kept coming to see this rough stone, and people kept giving up.
Su Jinyue was not in a hurry. She glanced around the stall and found that there were very few raw stones containing jade. Apart from the raw stone she had just seen, there were only four or five raw stones containing jade, and the texture of those jades was just average.
The old man who had been talking to Su Jinyue and the others stood up, shook his head, looked at the rough stone hesitantly, and walked towards the other rough stones. In the end, he still couldn't make up his mind to buy this rough stone.
"Old man, aren't you going to buy this rough stone?" Su Jinyue asked. She was waiting for the old man to make a decision.
The old man shook his head and said, "No." If he were still young, he would definitely act on impulse, but his age is no longer suitable for impulse. Instead of investing money on a rough stone that he is not sure about, it is better to buy a rough stone that he is more confident about.
"Then we'll buy it." Su Jinyue said to the stall owner beside her.
"Aren't you afraid of losing the bet?" The old man looked at Su Jinyue in surprise. This little girl was quite courageous.
"I'm afraid, but I believe in my own judgment." Su Jinyue smiled confidently.
The old man laughed when he heard this, "Little girl, do you plan to open this raw stone now?" He was still a little unwilling to give up. If Su Jinyue wanted to open this raw stone now, he would be relieved regardless of whether there was jade inside.
