Chapter 559 -559: I Am Your Sister (14)
Everyone crowded around, discussing animatedly as if they had been the ones who had found the gem.
“Young Owner, is this for sale?”
“This isn’t mine, it’s Miss Shen’s, you’ll have to ask Miss Shen,” Xie Yuepei said, “Beauty, if you’re selling, please consider me first.”
Everyone: “…” Profiteer!
“And we still have half left!” Fatty pointed to the stone that had been cut in half, “Stop showing off and get cutting!”
Xie Yuepei: “…”
With such a large piece of Imperial Green already revealed, everyone would find it normal if the remaining half contained nothing.
But of course, the other half did have something.
And it wasn’t green, but violet. Purple jade isn’t that rare, its value depends on the type of violet jade.
This piece was ice-type violet jade, also quite valuable.
Nobody was even interested in what Bai Yuyao had found anymore.
Some people weren’t ready to give up; they urged Xie Yuepei to cut open the ones that looked quite large as well.
Inside one slightly larger stone, he cut out a fist-sized piece of Red Jade, of average quality.
But this luck was enough to make countless people envious.
Now, the money spent had earned a return of over tenfold; Shen Corporation might even be saved.
“Miss Shen is quite lucky,” Xie Yuepei handed the piece of Imperial Green to Chuzheng, letting Fatty hold the rest.
Fatty really wanted to hug the Imperial Green to share the good fortune, but he didn’t dare say so to Chuzheng.
People were already approaching Chuzheng, inquiring whether she planned to sell.
Chuzheng was contemplating whether to sell or not when she caught a glimpse of the man standing not far away.
Good Person Card!
Chuzheng pushed through the people and walked over in a few steps, “This is for you.”
Everyone: “…”
Suddenly, the scene quieted down,
Shen Ming clearly hadn’t expected Chuzheng to do this; he looked stunned, staying frozen in place for a long time without a reaction.
The girl with the cold demeanor was holding the priceless Imperial Green, an air of aloofness and distance surrounding her, signaling strangers to keep away.
“For me?” Shen Ming’s lips parted slightly, his voice deep and magnetic.
“Yeah.” Chuzheng pushed it into his arms, “Hold it tight.”
As he subconsciously accepted it, his fingertips brushed against the back of Chuzheng’s hand, smooth as jade.
The Imperial Green in the man’s arms, exuded a deep green hue, making him appear even more handsome and noble.
“Miss Shen, you’re so generous with your brother?” Xie Yuepei intervened with a chuckle, “Just giving it away, do you know how much this is worth?”
“I don’t know,” Chuzheng replied truthfully, “I don’t need it.”
Xie Yuepei: “…”
He shot Shen Ming a dark look, thinking how fortunate he was to have such a good sister.
Shen Ming’s gaze stayed fixed on Chuzheng.
His memories of their childhood were blurry; he dimly remembered her as a small ball of joy, laughing in a soft and sticky way.
After that, due to a nanny’s negligence, she was lost.
In that era, unlike today with surveillance everywhere, it was very difficult to find a child even from a wealthy family once they were gone.
The atmosphere at home was oppressive when she disappeared.
His mother cried constantly, and his father smoked day and night; those days, ironically, he remembered very clearly.
Before returning to his home country, he hadn’t planned on having any involvement with her.
But…
The scene in the café really made an impression on him, so fresh and interesting that every time he thought of it, it felt new.
“Who is that?”
“So handsome!”
“That’s Shen Ming… right?”
Having not seen him for five years, the people present were not sure if this man was truly Shen Family’s eldest son who had been banished.
“Had enough fun?” Shen Ming asked her nonchalantly, still holding the Imperial Green.
“Yeah.” The mission to waste money was complete, time to leave this wretched place.
“I’ll take you back,” Shen Ming offered.
“Hey, you’re leaving just like that?” Xie Yuepei looked longingly at the Imperial Green, “Would you sell it to me?”
“Not selling.”
“Don’t be so stingy, what’s the use of keeping it for yourself? Even as a pillow, it would be uncomfortable! Miss Shen, sell it to me. The proceeds would be enough to solve Shen Corporation’s current problems. Won’t you reconsider?”
Xie Yuepei was not ready to give up.
Chuzheng stated the facts calmly, “I gave it to him.”
What’s given away is like water spilled.
Xie Yuepei: “…”
Like does not come to like! Indeed, one does not feel at home in an alien family!
Shen Ming took Chuzheng and left.
He Xiaopang: “…”
Hey, hey, hey! What about the thing in his hand? That’s also worth tens of millions!
Bai Yuyao clenched her fists as she stood in the corner, a mix of hatred and jealousy growing in her eyes.
“Yuyao, what’s the deal with Shen Chuzheng? Why do I feel something’s off?”
“How should I know?” Bai Yuyao replied irritably to Mother Bai’s confusion.
Mother Bai’s face stiffened slightly when her daughter treated her like that.
“Yuyao?”
“Mom, I’m tired, I’m going home first.” Taking advantage of everyone’s preoccupation with Chuzheng and Shen Ming, Bai Yuyao hurriedly left.
If she didn’t leave now, was she supposed to wait for these people to come to their senses and continue to give her strange looks?
–
As Chuzheng and Shen Ming left, Lin Yang was already waiting by the car, and Xie Yuepei flitted around Shen Ming, trying to touch the Imperial Green but was subtly blocked by Shen Ming at every turn.
Shen Ming opened the car door, gesturing for Chuzheng to get in.
Xie Yuepei barged into the car without any invitation.
Shen Ming pulled him out.
“Shen Ming, what are you doing?”
Shen Ming dragged him away, then sat in the car himself and closed the door.
Xie Yuepei banged on the car door from outside: “Shen Ming, what’s wrong with you? Open the door! Open the door, open it for me! Shen Ming, I’m telling you, we’re through!!”
“Drive.”
Lin Yang gave a sympathetic glance at Xie Yuepei jumping around outside, started the car, and left Xie Yuepei behind.
Chuzheng bowed her head and played with her phone.
Fatty was asking her what to do with the remaining two pieces.
Chuzheng simply said she gave them away.
Fatty probably got shocked and didn’t reply for a long while.
“Can you tell me where you got the money?”
Where did her previous funds come from?
He knew very well the situation with the Shen family; she couldn’t possibly have that much money.
At this moment, Shen Ming was like a strict brother, interrogating his spendthrift sister.
Chuzheng’s tone was cold: “What’s that to you?”
“I am your brother now, your guardian,” Shen Ming spoke slowly, his voice especially deep inside the car, “I have the right to inquire about everything concerning you.”
“I didn’t agree,” Chuzheng turned off her phone’s screen, leaned back in her seat, sitting with an air of authority.
“The law is in effect; it doesn’t require your agreement.”
Chuzheng: “…”
What a robber!
Since when did it not require her agreement?
She doesn’t need any guardian!
“Did anyone from the Shen family come to you?” Shen Ming suddenly asked.
“No.” Since the original parents’ incident, she had not seen those people from the Shen family ever again.
“Then where did your money…”
“Fall from the sky, is that not an option?” Chuzheng’s tone was icy and impatient: “Can you be quiet for a while?” So noisy.

Shen Ming: “…”
Money falling from the sky? Would there still be a need for work in this world?
He glanced at the girl, pursed the corners of his lips, and said no more.
Lin Yang drove Chuzheng to the apartment, Shen Ming opened the car door, and politely held out a hand towards her. Chuzheng, not needing his assistance at all, got out of the car with a slick movement.
Shen Ming’s hand naturally turned, opting instead to carry her backpack.
With someone willing to help carry her backpack, Chuzheng certainly wouldn’t refuse.
