Chapter 231 -231 Liu Yiyi
In the Gambling Stone Market, there are usually places for stone cutting, and this place is no exception.
Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao quickly found a spot for stone cutting.
There, the noise was deafening, with the buzzing sound echoing constantly, accompanied by the voices of many people.
Here, some broke into tears of joy as the raw stones they opened surged in value, while others wailed with disappointment as the stones they bought turned out to be worthless. After spotting good jade, the crowd began to shout out their bids.
All sorts of people could be seen here, witnessing the highs and lows of life as well as the many facets of human nature. However, all cause and effect in this place was due to greed.
After giving the place a brief glance, Zhong Niangyao withdrew her gaze and, alongside Lu Yichen, approached an available stone cutting master with a smile, “Master, could you please help me cut this stone?”
“Of course.”
When the stone cutting master took the raw stone from Zhong Niangyao, he couldn’t help but pause, then spoke up, “Miss, are you sure you want to cut this stone?”
Having been a stone cutting master for many years, he wouldn’t claim to have an infallible eye, but he did have experience. Yet, upon seeing such a raw stone, he was truly taken aback. Though its shape was somewhat odd, it looked like nothing more than an ordinary rock and seemed to have no relation to a jade raw stone.
“Absolutely!” Zhong Niangyao nodded affirmatively, “I just bought this from a raw stone store!”
The gambling stone master looked at Zhong Niangyao with a look of ineffable expression, “Little girl, this—”
“You’ve been duped.” A fashionable woman dressed in the latest season’s Chanel interjected with a trace of mockery in her voice, “Look at this, where does this look like a jade raw stone? You’ve simply bought an ordinary rock, you bought waste stone!”
With that, she carried a certain disdain, apparently looking down on Zhong Niangyao for bringing such a stone for cutting.
“Yes!” Zhong Niangyao replied, completely unfazed and even nodded earnestly, “Indeed, I picked it out from a pile of waste stones and spent two thousand yuan on it!”
“Clearly naive.” The woman sneered mockingly, “There are many like you who dream of getting rich overnight, but none as miserly as you. Others at least spend money to gamble, you actually just picked up a piece of waste stone—it’s laughable.”
“I think it’s quite nice!” Zhong Niangyao shrugged nonchalantly, “Gambling on stones is all about wagering the smallest amount of money for the greatest profit, isn’t it? Plus, I’m in a good state of mind, it’s just for fun, not something I’m relying on to get rich.”
“I just find this stone quite appealing, and I believe there’s jade inside, is there something wrong with that?”
“Just a bumpkin.”
The woman glanced contemptuously at Zhong Niangyao and then inattentively shifted her gaze, immediately noticing Lu Yichen standing beside Zhong Niangyao. A flash of astonishment went through her eyes, followed by deep jealousy.
Zhong Niangyao wasn’t particularly bothered by the woman’s scorn.
It was Lu Yichen standing beside her who, when he looked at the woman, had a shadow pass fleetingly in his eyes.
“Hello.” The woman’s demeanor suddenly changed, from being sharp and bitter, she immediately turned as gentle as water, her voice soft and tender, “Are you also from China? I’m from there too, my family lives in the Imperial Capital.”
As she spoke, the woman fixed her gaze on Lu Yichen, her intentions clear as day.
“Quite the attraction!” Zhong Niangyao leaned close to Lu Yichen and whispered teasing ly, “You really do have a certain charm! Even here in Myanmar, you’re still drawing admirers.”
“Jealous?” Lu Yichen didn’t get upset, but rather retorted with a smile, “Now that you realize I’m popular, shouldn’t you hold onto me a little tighter?”
Hearing Lu Yichen’s response, Zhong Niangyao felt somewhat speechless, she rolled her eyes slightly irritated, “Lu Yichen, I’m now realizing just how thick-skinned you are!”
“I have many virtues that you can slowly discover.”
“I wasn’t complimenting you, okay?” Zhong Niangyao said with a hint of helplessness, “Never mind, I really don’t want to argue with you.”
Seeing that Lu Yichen was only talking to Zhong Niangyao and ignoring her, Liu Yiyi felt irritated, her expression darkening. She stepped forward, continuing to talk, “Handsome, perhaps you don’t really know who I am. My name is Liu Yiyi, and my father is one of the shareholders of Zhong’s Jewelry.”
“So, I’ve known quite a lot about these jade gambling stones since I was young. If you need, I could introduce you to some.”
Even though both Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao were dressed in haute couture, in her eyes, they were wearing no-name, mixed-brand clothes. Coupled with Zhong Niangyao’s recent purchase of a mere two-thousand-yuan waste stone, she believed these two were just trying their luck here, hoping to strike it rich overnight.
It’s not often you meet such a handsome man, naturally, she hoped for a romantic encounter. She believed that once she revealed her family background, no man could resist.
Hearing Liu Yiyi’s words, Zhong Niangyao stiffened momentarily before turning to Liu Yiyi, “Your father is a Zhong’s Jewelry shareholder?”
That would make him a senior executive. Although she wasn’t too familiar with the company’s matters, she was aware that most of the shares were in the hands of their family, with only a small portion held by high-level executives and another small portion on the open market.

“That’s right.” Liu Yiyi said, head held high, exuding pride, “My father is the head of the business department at Zhong’s Jewelry.”
Zhong Niangyao nodded, but said nothing more. However, she had already decided in her heart that under no circumstances should she reveal her identity.
If her grandfather found out that she was in Myanmar with Lu Yichen, that would indeed be hard to explain later. She didn’t like trouble, so she tried to avoid it as much as possible.
Ignoring Liu Yiyi, Zhong Niangyao turned directly to the gambling stone master, “Master, please cut this raw stone for me first!”
Seeing that Zhong Niangyao was ignoring her, Liu Yiyi grew furious. She stepped forward and directly addressed Zhong Niangyao, “Didn’t you hear what I just said?”
