He turned his gaze to the alluring woman who bullied the weak and feared the strong, threw the fragments of the bracelet in his hand in front of her, and said coldly.
"I told you your so-called treasure is worthless, and that's it. If you don't believe me, just turn right and go to any jewelry appraisal shop."
"Let them see for themselves what kind of 'good stuff' your 'lover' gave you! Don't embarrass yourself here, getting ripped off and still feeling smug. You're pathetically stupid!"
The alluring woman was rendered speechless by Zhou Yang's words, especially by his confident gaze, which made her heart pound.
Could it be... could there really be something wrong with this bracelet?
Xu Shengnan usually seems generous, but I wonder if he's actually trying to fool me with a fake product behind my back?
The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. After all, Xu Shengnan had given her the bracelet a while ago to make her happy. He had said it cost five million, but he hadn't shown her the invoice.
"You...you wait! If you're talking nonsense, I...I'll never forgive you!"
The alluring woman uttered a fierce but inwardly weak remark, but her momentum clearly weakened.
She hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "What...what's your name? What's your phone number? If this bracelet is really as you say...I...I'll contact you again!"
Zhou Yang curled his lip, revealing a mocking smile: "No need for a phone call. If it's really worth eight million, I, Zhou Yang, will twist my head off and give it to you as a chamber pot!"
The alluring woman held the broken piece in her hand, looking at Zhou Yang's "you're such a fool" expression, then at the remaining fragments on the ground. Her mind was in turmoil, and she didn't bother to pick them up.
She glared at the greasy man, stomped her foot, turned and rushed out, seemingly determined to get it checked.
"You fucking..."
Xu Shengnan covered her burning face, just recovering from the shock of being hit.
Seeing that her "little darling" had been driven away by Zhou Yang's few words, she was instantly enraged, and the veins on her forehead bulged like earthworms.
He pointed at Zhou Yang's nose, spitting as he roared.
"You little bastard! You dare hit me?! Do you know who I am? I'm Xu Shengnan, the only son of the owner of Mingyue Jewelry Group!"
"In this small corner of Jindu, if you offend me, Xu Shengnan, you can expect to be kicked out!"
"I'm calling the police right now! I'll arrest you, you little bastard, and make sure you rot in jail. I'll change my name if I don't make you spend the rest of your life in jail!"
Damn it, I didn't check the almanac before going out today, and I got slapped in the face by some kid!
If he doesn't vent his anger, how will he ever be able to stay in the underworld again?!
He took out his phone and made a gesture as if to dial a number.
"Oh, you're Young Master Xu, right?"
Just then, Gu Huaiyue, who had been observing coldly, suddenly smiled sweetly, her voice clear and melodious, like a nightingale singing in a valley.
"Calling the police is pointless. It won't look good on your reputation, Mr. Xu. It will make you look like you're abusing your power, won't it?"
Her captivating phoenix eyes blinked slightly, a hint of amusement in them.
Xu Shengnan's movements froze, his gaze involuntarily drawn to Gu Huaiyue.
The woman before him possessed a cold beauty tinged with a hint of allure, and her smile was like a gentle spring breeze, stirring his heart.
Goodness, this girl is way hotter than that young housewife from before!
If only...
His Adam's apple bobbed as he leered at Gu Huaiyue, his tone softening considerably.
"Oh? What brilliant idea does this beautiful lady have? Are you perhaps going to plead for this young man?"
Gu Huaiyue took a step forward, her fragrance wafting through the air. She extended her slender fingers, tapping Zhou Yang and then Xu Shengnan, her red lips parting slightly.
"I wouldn't call it pleading. I think Young Master Xu is quite knowledgeable. How about this, let's play something more exciting and take a gamble?"
"Bet? What kind of bet?"
Xu Shengnan's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing the word "gamble".
He was a gambler by nature, and he especially wanted to show off his "strength" in front of beautiful women.
Hey, this girl's got some interesting, she actually wants to bet with him? Perfect for him!
Gu Huaiyue's smile deepened, tinged with a hint of cunning: "Let's gamble on stones. You, him, and Zhou Yang each choose a rough stone and see who can cut out the most valuable jade."
"If you win, I will apologize to you on his behalf and even treat you to a meal privately as an apology. But if..."
She changed the subject, her gaze falling on Xu Shengnan's face, "If Zhou Yang wins, you'll have to shout three times in front of everyone, 'I'm a show-off, I didn't recognize your talent.'"
"And this matter of assault today is wiped clean, no further pursuit is allowed, how about it? Young Master Xu, do you dare to play along?"
"What is there to be afraid of!"
Xu Shengnan was so engrossed in Gu Huaiyue's beauty and the exciting bet that he agreed without a second thought.
He glanced at Zhou Yang with disdain, sneering inwardly: "Hmph, a kid who hasn't even grown his first beard dares to gamble on stones with me."
I've been touching stones since I was a toddler. Among all the master craftsmen at Mingyue Jewelry, which one didn't give me some pointers?
Winning against Zhou Yang, a mere kid, is a piece of cake.
Then, Gu Huaiyue, that pretty girl, will have to obediently accompany him to dinner... Hehe, awesome!
"Alright! It's settled then! Today, I'll show you what a true master of jade gambling is all about!"
Upon seeing this, the owner of Hongyunfang's eyes darted around, and he immediately approached with a beaming smile.
"Distinguished guests, since you're going to gamble on stones, why don't I arrange for the stone-cutting masters? I guarantee their skills will be superb and their work fair and impartial!"
Goodness gracious, this is a battle of gods!
On one side is the young master of Mingyue Jewelry, on the other is a mysterious young man, and there's also a stunningly beautiful woman stirring things up. Today's event is going to be quite a spectacle!
Maybe he can even take this opportunity to promote his Hongyunfang business!
"Can!"
Xu Shengnan agreed immediately, and Zhou Yang and the other two naturally had no problem with it either.
"Since the three of you have all chosen stones, then I will naturally choose a rough stone. Let me choose first!"
Xu Shengnan patted his chest and said.
Zhou Yang nodded, "Okay, but we've all chosen the full gambling materials, so you can't cheat. You can only look within the full gambling material area."
"Hehe, that's for sure, I play with all the inside scoops!"
Xu Shengnan shook his head and couldn't wait to wander around the entire gambling information area.
Confident in his experience, he quickly selected a rough stone from the Moshisha mine, which was about the size of a basketball.
The skin is tight, the sanding is even, and there is a clear python stripe wrapped around it, which is excellent.
"This one will do!"
Xu Shengnan patted the stone triumphantly, "Boss, solve mine first! I'm going to make some people admit defeat wholeheartedly!"
No one objected.
The stone-cutting master fixed Xu Shengnan's stone onto the stone-cutting machine and, following Xu Shengnan's instructions, first rubbed a small window open from the python vein.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—"
A piercing cutting sound rang out, and stone chips flew everywhere.
Soon, a touch of moist, light green shone through the window!
