Yan Yueqing managed to hold back her laughter until she got in the car, then she joyfully burst out laughing.
"Hahaha, did you see Gu Xing’s expression just now? It was as if he swallowed a live toad! Hahahaha!"
She clutched her stomach, laughing so hard she was falling over.
Yan Wang and Jun Lii watched her with the sa tender gaze.
Jun Yan let out a heh-heh and sat next to her, giving her a thumbs-up: "Mom is the best, to co up with such a thod to deal with him!"
"Who asked him to have ill intentions." Yueqing felt annoyed just thinking about the way Gu Xing had looked at her initially.
Jun Lii frowned slightly, "Letting him lose money will teach him a lesson, so he won’t look at you with that kind of eyes again."
Yueqing humd in agreent and sat up straight, "I specifically directed Old Master Chen to cut the stone, to spread the word around! And then, I colluded with Du Manchang to bid up to one hundred million for the stone... Big Brother Chen said that Gu Xing has a sharp-nosed, monkey-cheeked subordinate with really sharp ears, who can even hear whispers from afar! To create the deception, I didn’t even tell Du Manchang the truth, I made him think I really wanted that stone!"
Jun Yan understood auction tactics all too well. Despite his young age, he had been a formidable player at auctions.
"Mom, after hearing what his subordinate said, Gu Xing intentionally tested you with a sixty million bid. I guess that was his highest price! If you hadn’t continued to raise the bid, he would have been willing to pay that much for the stone. But seeing you still bidding, he thought you were seriously ready with one hundred million..."
At this point, Jun Yan couldn’t help but laugh, "This is what’s called, outsmarting oneself!"
"Never mind tens of millions!" Yueqing patted her son’s head, "He is bound to lose big this ti!"
Jun Yan nodded, "That’s true. With a price nearing one hundred million, unless the stone reveals top-quality jade inside, there’s no chance for a turnaround."
Speaking, he beca a bit worried, "Mom, what if he wins the bet?"
Yueqing was brimming with confidence, "He won’t."
Those two words, as if a sacred decree were spoken, instantly made Jun Yan believe her.
Yan Wang looked at his mother with puzzlent, still considering why she was as if cheating today, succeeding at every point?
After pondering for two seconds, he still didn’t voice his question.
Everyone has secrets. As long as Mom is happy and no one bothers her, that’s good enough!
Yueqing continued, "I’ve already asked Du Manchang to transport the rest of the stones to Big Brother Chen’s place. Let’s continue with Old Master Chen cutting the stones this afternoon!"
Then she looked towards Jun Lii, "Could the Jun Residence send so people over to take the stones back?"
Jun Lii gave her an unexpected glance.
This serious tone; does she already know that the stone will reveal sothing good?
He didn’t ask more and obediently nodded, "Certainly, I’ll send soone over right now."
"Mm!" Yueqing thought about the scene she witnessed today, "To be honest, it’s quite chaotic here. Today, outside the Raw Stone Market, I saw many people who ca to buy stones with real guns and live ammunition... I guess they’re afraid soone will snatch the good stuff away, right?"
Jun Lii said, "The market has beco much more stable over the past two years. There used to be frequent incidents of murder for the sake of valuable stones, with every piece of top-quality jade being tainted with cris, which made everyone extra cautious."
Ah, the ancient truth that people die for wealth as birds die for food.
Thinking of this, Yueqing couldn’t help but worry about Song Xiaoxiao’s safety.
"Today, I roughly calculated that Song Qinglong must have prepared at most eight million for his trip to country T. He invested three million to get on Gu Xing’s good side, leaving him with only five million..."
"After Gu Xing finishes buying the stone, he will certainly cut it open tonight to see what’s inside. When he realizes his loss, he definitely won’t return the three million to Song Qinglong! Plus, being trapped and losing a huge sum of money will put him in a terrible mood. He might even beco ruthless in the following deals, trying to swindle Song Qinglong’s money..."
Yueqing sighed, "I’m not worried about Song Qinglong losing money. I’m just afraid that if he gets desperate, he might turn his attention to Xiaoxiao."
Jun Lii frowned, "Do you an that he would use Song Xiaoxiao as a hostage to give to Gu Xing?"
"It’s not impossible."
Yueqing thought of Song Xiaoxiao’s fate in the other world, and couldn’t help but feel a bit lancholic.
In a mont of desperation, a father actually used his daughter to shield himself, leading a girl in the pri of her youth to die by the cold blade of her kin...
Even though Xiaoxiao had a fraught relationship with her father because of Du Mansheng’s death, she was still the girl he had watched grow up. How could he be so ruthless?
In this life, the relationship between father and daughter had not yet beco strained, but Song Qinglong’s selfishness had reached a terrifying extent.
Better to be safe than sorry!
"I trust Jun Chi very much; I know he can protect Xiaoxiao well." Yueqing looked at Jun Lii, "But since Jun Chi is undercover in the Song Family, if Song Qinglong refuses to let him follow under so inappropriate pretext, it will be too late if sothing happens to Xiaoxiao."
Jun Lii felt like patting her on the shoulder to tell Yueqing to relax.
The hand that he extended hung in the air, and in the end, he silently withdrew it.
"Yueqing, your worries are certainly warranted. But Jun Chi has encountered many traps and dangers abroad, each one more perilous than Song Xiaoxiao’s situation. He’s survived those situations, so you really don’t need to be too anxious."
"Mm," Yueqing nodded.
Perhaps because she knew about Xiaoxiao’s outcos in advance, she always felt a bit uneasy.
After hearing Jun Lii’s reassurance, her heart gradually eased.
In the afternoon.
The group headed to Old Master Chen’s stone-cutting factory.
Old Master Chen had been excitedly waiting there, rubbing his hands in anticipation, his expression joyful.
He purposely waited at the entrance and when he saw Yan Yueqing arriving from afar, he imdiately greeted her.
"Miss Yan, you’ve arrived!"
