Chapter 33 Chaos
This rich girl is Han Ming’s new wife Qu Xin, who is also Yuan Tingchuan’s ex-wife.
When Qu Xin saw Du Ruo standing next to Yuan Tingchuan, he became furious.
She has liked Yuan Tingchuan since she was a child. She always controlled her temper in front of Yuan Tingchuan, but Yuan Tingchuan always ignored her.
Later, she learned that Grandpa Yuan was selecting a marriage partner for Yuan Tingchuan, and she begged her mother to propose marriage. Her mother had always loved her very much, and could not bear her pleading, so she went to discuss the marriage with Grandpa Yuan.
However, Mrs. Qu also warned her daughter that Yuan Tingchuan was not a person who cared about love and asked her not to have unrealistic expectations.
As long as Qu Xin behaved herself, served as the eldest lady of the Yuan family, and gave birth to a son, her position would be very stable.
Yuan Tingchuan will not be hostile to the Qu family either. As long as the Qu family is still there, he will give Qu Xin open respect, and no one can shake Qu Xin's position.
But love is the easiest to bewitch. The man she had loved for more than ten years finally became her husband. On the wedding night, the man beside her had cold eyes slightly closed, and the elegant cold fragrance on his body was as intoxicating as the white snow on the mountains, which made her infatuated.
Unfortunately, before she woke up from her intoxication, the man's slender and thin fingers had already buttoned up her shirt again, and he walked away without any tenderness.
There is only a thin line between love and hate. Qu Xin kept venting her hatred on her son, and was eventually discovered by Yuan Tingchuan.
The man's eyes finally showed some movement because of her. Although it was a hatred as if he was looking at a dead person, Qu Xin strangely felt a sense of satisfaction. Regardless of love or hate, the man finally saw her, didn't he?
Now, seeing this woman standing with Yuan Tingchuan, Qu Xin couldn't help but get furious.
She sneered and said, "It's just a matter of a few hundred million. Do you think the Yuan Group is as petty as you? Why do you care so much about this broken stone? You ignorant country bumpkin."
Du Ruo looked at the couple with interest, and found it a little funny. Nowadays, even in Hong Kong, few people dare to play around with hundreds of millions of dollars, right? She didn't really think that Yuan Tingchuan didn't care, did she? Even if the boss didn't care about these hundreds of millions, he still had to save face, right?
Han Ming looked at the pretty figure in front of him with complicated eyes. Only then did he realize that his longing for her had already become overwhelming.
The person in front of him is his sweetheart.
That year, he and his girlfriend Du Jing visited her home and met Du Ruo for the first time.
The beauty was sitting under a pear tree, with fallen petals floating all over the ground. Her shoulders seemed carved, her waist was as white as ice, her neck was long and slender, and her white hair was exposed.
He fell in love with her at first sight.
Han Ming's eyes were full of pain. Everyone said that he had abandoned his wife, but little did they know that the one who accompanied him day and night was the "wife of poverty".
Du Ruo didn't look at Han Ming, he was a complete rubbish, looking at him with dirty eyes.
She looked at Yuan Tingchuan, her expression was very clear, she was just a consultant, she had said what she wanted to say, and it was up to the boss to decide whether to jump into the pit or not.
Yuan Tingchuan acted very decisively. He turned around and left, showing his giving up with his actions.
The several gambling masters behind him were all silent. They had been dealing with Yuan Tingchuan for quite some time and knew his temper very well. Yuan Tingchuan rarely changed his decisions.
Qu Xin couldn't help but step forward and said, "Tingchuan, do you trust that woman so much? My father has already asked someone to evaluate it. The possibility of getting green jade is very high, and it may also be top-grade jadeite. Aren't you tempted? I can give it to you."
Yuan Tingchuan didn't say a word, and didn't even stop, and he was almost at the edge of the area.
Seeing a group of people coming towards him, Yuan Tingchuan glanced at the leader and stopped.
The leader was an old man in his sixties or seventies, with gray hair and a cane in his hand, but his steps were still steady and he was in good health.
When he saw Yuan Tingchuan, he smiled and said, "Tingchuan, where are you going? What's the matter? Are you not optimistic about these two pieces of raw materials?"
Yuan Tingchuan's voice was full of respect for his elders. He said, "Hello, Master Zhong. I don't really want to do anything."
Mr. Zhong raised his eyebrows and said to Yuan Tingchuan, "Don't leave in a hurry. Come back with me to take a look."
Yuan Tingchuan agreed, followed behind Mr. Zhong, and came back with his men.
Qu Xin was sulking, and whenever she was angry she would get mad at Han Ming. Han Ming was coaxing her with soft words, and a look of relaxation could be seen on her face.
When he looked up and saw Yuan Tingchuan coming back, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Ling Yun also saw them coming back. He walked over briskly and called out "Master Zhong". He then said to Du Ruo, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Maybe you will need to cut the stone soon."
Du Ruo was not very interested in this. She had already remembered that of the two huge pieces of rough material, one had completely collapsed, and the other had produced a bunch of jadeite, but the highest quality was only the Hibiscus variety. Although the quantity was large, the quality was very average.
She is now only interested in top-quality jadeite. Her appetite has been spoiled and she has no interest in these jadeite.
When she heard Ling Yun say that he wanted to invite her to cut the stone together, she really wanted to tell her old friend to just throw the stone into the pond and let it wash away. It wasn't much to see, and although it wasn't a loss, it definitely wasn't a gain.
Over there, Mr. Zhong's people were doing an assessment, and the conclusion they came to was surprisingly similar to that of Yuan's gambling stone master. They all thought it was worth a gamble.
Moreover, they were more optimistic about a piece of rough material next to it. Unfortunately, Ling Xiaosan acted quickly and had already taken the rough material.
Yuan Tingchuan just came back with Mr. Zhong to take a look. He was a man of strong will. Once he made a decision, he would not waver. He had already given up on one of the two pieces of rough material, and the other one had been taken by Ling Yun. He didn't want to waste any more time.
Qu Xin was a little anxious. She was eager to prove that Du Ruo's judgment was wrong and was determined to get this piece of rough material.
Qu Xin said to the boss next to him: "I want this piece of raw material. I will give you an extra 100 million yuan and it will be mine."
Qu Xin's method of raising money may seem unreliable, but it is actually very reliable.
If you increase the price little by little, in the end, not only will you not get any advantage, but you will also be put in a dilemma. If you increase the price all at once, you will catch people off guard and the deal will be finalized before they have time to think. This is generally very effective.
But the people present today were not students from Class 1, but excellent players from Class 2, so the boss naturally would not follow her approach.
The boss asked Mr. Zhong softly, "What do you think?"
Mr. Zhong seemed to have made up his mind. He said, "I am very interested in this piece of raw material. Please name a price."
The boss said with a hint of smile in his eyes: "Miss Qu is also interested?"
Qu Xin nodded and said, "Not bad, you name a price."
Old Master Zhong's face looked a little unhappy. This girl from the Qu family really has no tact.
