Power and wealth bring fragrance

"Liu Gang!"

Chu Xinrou glared angrily at Liu Gang, a blush of indignation rising on her pretty face.

"Please show some respect for my friend!"

"What does your friend have to do with me? You're the one who insisted on coming with me; I never agreed to go with you!"

"I've told you eight hundred times, we can't be together, please stop bothering me!"

Chu Xinrou was furious at Liu Gang's disdain for Wei Yuan, so she didn't give him any face at all.

Liu Gang's face stiffened after being scolded by Chu Xinrou, and he felt very wronged.

Is Chu Xinrou possessed by some evil spirit? She's been cursing a locksmith repeatedly because of him.

He didn't believe Chu Xinrou when she said they were getting a massage last time; he only kept quiet about it for some reason.

Now again? Surely she can't actually be interested in him, right?

Seeing the way Chu Xinrou was practically drooling over Wei Yuan, Liu Gang's anger flared up uncontrollably.

Wei Yuan's smile faded, and he said calmly.

"Since Boss Chu has other matters to attend to, let's call it a day."

As he spoke, Wei Yuan glanced at Liu Gang, his words carrying a pointed meaning.

"As for jade gambling, just look at it, but definitely don't buy it."

"This industry is very murky. There are plenty of bastards who dare to pass off fake goods with veneer as old mine rough stones. The closer you are to them, the more likely they are to rip you off."

He didn't tolerate Liu Gang's behavior and directly retorted with a veiled insult.

As expected, these words immediately ignited Liu Gang's already pent-up anger.

"Who the hell are you calling a bastard?"

"What do you know about jade gambling, you poor locksmith? Have you ever seen genuine old mine jade?"

"You poor wretch who couldn't wait to spend five thousand dollars to buy a gold mine just because a little girl casually mentioned it, and you're acting like an expert."

"Are you trying to act all high and mighty with me?"

Liu Gang unleashed a torrent of vulgarities at Wei Yuan, causing Wei Yuan's expression to turn cold.

Chu Xinrou's chest heaved rapidly with anger at Liu Gang's words. She looked at Wei Yuan awkwardly, her toes practically digging out of their sockets in embarrassment.

"Mr. Wei, I'm so sorry, this guy..."

Wei Yuan shook his head, interrupting her.

"Boss Chu, he is him, and you are you. You don't need to apologize on his behalf."

"As the saying goes, you can do it once or twice, but not a third time. I let it go the first two times because he's your friend."

"But he's taking advantage of my kindness and doesn't appreciate it, so don't blame me for not giving him face."

After speaking, Wei Yuan stopped looking at Chu Xinrou and stared coldly at Liu Gang.

Whether I understand jade gambling or not is not for you to judge.

"When I drove the Imperial Green, you were probably still nursing in your mother's arms."

"You're not qualified to compete with me in jade gambling!"

Wei Yuan spoke with conviction, but Liu Gang seemed to have heard the biggest joke and burst into exaggerated laughter.

"A poor locksmith dares to boast that he's a jade gambling expert? That's the funniest joke I've heard all year!"

"Since you're so awesome, why don't we go check out the big shipment my friend left behind?"

"If you bet right, I'll apologize to you immediately, okay?"

"But if you lose, you'll have to kneel down and kowtow to me, and then you'll have to roll out of here!"

Liu Gang didn't believe Wei Yuan's words at all and directly challenged Wei Yuan.

That way, we can expose Wei Yuan on the spot and let Chu Xinrou see what kind of person he really is!

But to his surprise, Wei Yuan wasn't afraid at all!

"good!"

"I can go with you, but the conditions need to be changed!"

Wei Yuan squinted at Liu Gang, "If I bet right, you'll not only have to apologize to me, but you also won't be allowed to harass Boss Chu again!"

Liu Gang was stunned for a moment, and when he realized what was happening, he was so angry that he almost ground his teeth to powder. His eyes were also full of malice as he looked at Chu Xinrou.

"I knew you two were having an affair, now you're not even going to pretend anymore, are you!"

"Fine, I'll bet with you!"

Liu Gang was so angry that he stopped trying to please Chu Xinrou, abandoned her, and strode away angrily.

Wei Yuan patted the little girl's hair apologetically.

"I'm afraid you'll have to wait for me a while."

The little girl obediently shook her head, keeping her mouth tightly shut and not daring to speak.

Then Wei Yuan looked at Chu Xinrou and said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Boss Chu, I'm taking the liberty of making this decision without asking your opinion. I hope you don't mind."

However, Chu Xinrou did not complain about Wei Yuan at all; on the contrary, she fully supported him.

"No, no, I don't mind at all."

"This guy is so persistent and disgusting. I'd be incredibly grateful if you could get rid of him."

"But do you really understand jade gambling?"

Chu Xinrou looked at Wei Yuan with some worry, but out of consideration for Wei Yuan's pride, she didn't say anything.

She actually thought that Wei Yuan didn't understand gambling on stones.

Gambling on jade stones requires real money to win.

How could a locksmith who struggles to make a living at the bottom of society have the capital to gamble?

Wei Yuan might have said that because things got heated and he was just pretending to be a jade gambling expert to save face.

But the price was too high. If he lost, he would have to kneel down and get out of the house. Chu Xinrou couldn't help but feel worried for him.

Wei Yuan sensed her hesitation but didn't explain anything.

Whether it's a mule or a horse, we'll find out once we take it out for a spin.

The three men followed Liu Gang to his friend's shop.

This shop occupies three entire storefronts, covering a total area of ​​over a thousand square meters; it's quite grand.

As soon as you enter, you can see people bustling around, and there are sounds of cutting machines wiping windows and cutting. It's quite lively.

At this moment, Liu Gang was already standing with his friend, a somewhat short and chubby young man, talking and pointing at Wei Yuan with a cold face.

Wei Yuan, Chu Xinrou, and the little girl walked over and heard the short, fat young man sneer at Liu Gang.

"Alright, no problem, I'll definitely support you, brother."

Immediately, the short, stout young man ordered someone to bring over a rough stone about half a person's height, before turning his head contemptuously to look at Wei Yuan.

"So you call yourself a jade gambling expert, huh?"

"Come on, let's not waste any more time."

"This is a rough stone from the old mine in Hpakant, Annam, that I specially reserved for Young Master Liu."

"Take a look and give your opinion."

"Also, you can choose any stone from all the stones in my shop, and we'll cut both stones together on the spot."

"If Young Master Liu's stone yields green jade, and yours doesn't, then Young Master Liu wins, and you win in reverse. How about that?"

Both the short, stout young man and Liu Gang looked at Wei Yuan with disdain, completely disregarding him.

Chu Xinrou also felt some regret.

She thought gambling on stones was similar to finding bargains in antiques, but now that she's here, she realizes they're not the same thing at all!

Antiques, even fake ones, are all displayed in front of you and you can handle them freely.

But with gambling on stones, who knows what's inside through that thick layer of stone skin!

Chu Xinrou tugged at Wei Yuan and whispered.

"How about I apologize to Liu Gang and let's just let this matter go?"

However, Wei Yuan didn't listen at all and readily agreed to the bet.

"make a deal!"
