"you……"
Ye Weiwei watched the backs of the father and daughter, her eyes questioning Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao patted her hand reassuringly, "Don't worry, Father has agreed."
Yesterday, Yu's mother took it upon herself to invite Shi Shuangshuang to the banquet with them. During the banquet, Shi Shuangshuang kept targeting Ye Weiwei. Qin Xiao told Yu's father about this last night, originally asking them to find a way to restrain Shi Shuangshuang and prevent this woman from causing trouble during their mission.
Who knew that Yu's father would directly have Qin Xiao kick Shi Shuangshuang out of the game.
He had long disliked the Shi family, but out of consideration for face, a sliver of past affection, and the fact that his mother had always liked Shi Shuangshuang and was pleased with her, he hadn't bothered to argue with them.
In the Yu family, the one who is in charge is not Yu's mother.
However, if the Shi family interferes with or disrupts their plans and actions, Yu's father will absolutely not tolerate it.
Hearing that it was her father's idea, Ye Weiwei felt relieved.
After all, they were using someone else's identity, and it would be somewhat unethical for them to act on their own without the other person's consent in such matters.
However, she didn't expect that Mr. Yu would be so understanding.
No wonder the higher-ups chose to cooperate with the Yu family; their judgment in people is exceptionally accurate.
The Shi family father and daughter both failed to open the two stones, but they didn't spend much money on those two rough stones. They originally bought them just for fun, and the most important thing they wanted to do this time was to wait for Qin Xiao.
When Shi Shuangshuang told him yesterday that Qin Xiao had spent a fortune at the auction to please Ellie, Shi's father was already extremely jealous.
They came to the jade gambling market hoping to get some freebies and have Qin Xiao pay for their bill.
However, he did not expect that Qin Xiao would be so disrespectful to them, publicly exposing the engagement and revealing that Shi Shuangshuang was dating several young masters at the same time, causing them to lose face completely!
"Useless thing!" After leaving the jade gambling market and getting into the car, Shi's father saw Shi Shuangshuang still crying and roared angrily, "Shut up!"
Shi Shuangshuang wiped away her tears, a hint of annoyance on her face. "Dad, why are you scolding me? It's not my fault. I've tried my best. Haven't I spent enough time and effort trying to please that old woman these past few years? Who knew she would be so useless!"
Mr. Shi snorted coldly: "You're still useless! You haven't managed to win over Yu Chengwu after all these years! If you could marry into the Yu family and become the eldest young mistress, wouldn't all of the Yu family's assets be ours in the future!"
The more Mr. Shi thought about it, the angrier and more unwilling he became!
The Yu family has had only one son per generation for generations, and Yu Chengwu is the sole heir. There are no brothers or sisters in the family vying for power and property, so the Yu family's business will belong to Yu Chengwu alone in the future!
Unfortunately, those two men in the Yu family were too shrewd; despite all their efforts, they couldn't win them over.
Shi Shuangshuang sneered: "What's the use of saying all this now? We definitely can't get into the Yu family. We might as well start planning now and see which family is more suitable. My marriage can't be delayed any longer."
Mr. Shi said with a stern face, "I'll go back and think about it carefully."
Shi Shuangshuang then fell silent.
As the daughter of the Shi family, she knew from a young age what she was meant to be when she grew up, so she always knew very well what she wanted.
Even if the Yu family is gone, there are other families. In any case, in order to maximize her value, her father and the others will not let her marry just anyone.
Unfortunately, I had thought I could at least make some money off Yu Chengwu today.
Seeing how lavishly she spent money on that little bitch Ellie at the auction last night, it really makes me envious and resentful!
snort!
Ellie, that little vixen, is no pushover either. She's only been involved with Yu Chengwu for a few days, and she's already got him completely under her thumb!
Hmph! I curse them to not find a single stone at the jade gambling site today, and to lose everything!
Ye Weiwei suddenly sneezed.
Qin Xiao immediately took off his coat and draped it over Ye Weiwei.
"I'm fine. There was just too much dust, and my nose felt uncomfortable."
As Ye Weiwei spoke, she reached for the clothes to give to Qin Xiao. Qin Xiao looked at her exposed, alabaster arms and pulled the clothes back up for her: "Wear these on, so you don't get them dirty."
Ye Weiwei stopped refusing.
Zuo Chenglong walked over, saw this scene, and joked with a smile: "Young Master Yu and Miss Ellie have such a good relationship."
Qin Xiao glanced at Zuo Chenglong and saw that the woman beside him was no longer Ai Xue from last night. He nodded to her but said nothing.
Seeing that it was almost their turn to cut the stones, Zuo Chenglong changed the subject and asked Ye Weiwei, "Miss Ellie, which of these three stones do you think will appreciate the most?"
He had previously instructed the underlings who served Ye Weiwei to pay attention to how she selected stones.
The underling reported that Ye Weiwei simply glanced at the stones and placed her order without using any tools.
Ye Weiwei glanced at the three stones, pointed to the one about the size of a watermelon, and said, "This one gives us a better chance."
Zuo Chenglong immediately ordered his underlings to bring the stone to the stone-cutting platform, "Let's cut this one first and have a good start!"
Ye Weiwei didn't object, her smile carrying a hint of meaning: "Then let's take Zuo Shao's good words as an example!"
The stone-cutting master first measured the stone and was about to make a cut in the middle when Ye Weiwei stopped him. She drew a line on the stone with her hand: "Make a cut along this line first."
The stone-cutting master naturally had no objections and began to cut according to Ye Weiwei's instructions.
The deafening roar of the machines drew many people to come and watch the stone cutting. Ye Weiwei pulled Qin Xiao back a bit.
With a single cut, the stone cutter's eyes lit up as he looked at the cut surface: "It's a success!"
Zuo Chenglong's spirits lifted, and he immediately stepped forward, "Let me see!"
After Zuo Chenglong clearly saw the color of the jade, his expression was both excited and strange: "It's red!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Weiwei pretended to look over, a hint of joy appearing in her eyes: "Young Master Zuo, is your mouth blessed or something? You said it would be a good start, and it really is!"
Zuo Chenglong was delighted by Ye Weiwei's praise and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Because the warehouse at that outpost was looted last night, he worked all night to gather enough stones.
The gang is now just waiting for this batch of stones to sell for a good price and recoup some of their losses.
However, given how small the city is, the incident that happened in the gang yesterday was no secret. Everyone guessed the purpose of their jade gambling event, so not many people were willing to spend money at today's event.
He's getting really anxious because the place hasn't produced a single decent piece of meat since the start of the show!
Now, with this piece of red jade, he finally has an excuse to stir up trouble.
A great start!
That's a really good omen!
This Ellie is really good with words; no wonder she could charm Yu Chengwu so much that he was willing to spend money on her!
