The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot
Chapter 188 - 188 188 Gambling Stone King All TrashChapter 188: Chapter 188: Gambling Stone King? All Trash Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Gambling Stone King? All Trash “””
The Gambling Stone King of the older generation in Hua Country and a three-domain movie queen both squatted under a small table.
Their mouths were stuffed with cream cake, each holding one in their hands.
Chu Yuheng chuckled, “Boss, you guys continue, don’t mind us.”
Qingwu pressed her temple helplessly, “Why are you here?”
Chu Yuheng replied confidently.
“Aren’t I here to pick up my master? My master was on a plane for over ten hours and was hungry, but I’m a public figure; eating too much could land me in the headlines!”
Last time, there was news about the movie queen possibly having a heartbreak and crazily eating an eight-inch cream cake at midnight, which almost made Chu Yuheng lose it on the spot.
Was that heartbreak? It was clearly just a craving!
Master Hai Xin and Chu Yuheng, this master-disciple duo, loved cream cake the most.
Master Hai Xin reached out, “Come, Qingwu, give me a hand, my legs are numb from squatting for so long.”
Qingwu helplessly helped them out from under the table.
Master Hai Xin stomped his feet and looked at Pei Jue, “Not bad-looking, where’d you pick him up from?”
Qingwu responded nonchalantly, “Picked up by the roadside.”
“Not bad, not bad, a fine piece. Better than the last one. I’ll go grab something else to eat, you guys continue.”
Master Hai Xin habitually used jade-gambling terminologies to describe people, and Qingwu was used to it.
Being praised as a fine jade by him meant it was of premium quality, just the right consistency, with no flaws.
Watching them leave, expertly hiding under a new table to continue eating cake, Qingwu pressed her temple.
Pei Jue’s presence swept in, bending slightly closer to Qingwu.
“Last one?”
Had his fiancée picked up other men by the roadside before?
This realization made Pei Jue feel slightly jealous.
The more he interacted with her, the more Pei Jue realized that Qingwu was like a treasure chest, always full of surprises. She was exceptional, and he hadn’t been a part of her past!
“He was referring to an unimportant person; it was his own misunderstanding.”
“So, am I important?”
Qingwu turned slightly to glance at Pei Jue, as if seeing through his intentions.
“Didn’t Master Hai Xin mention? A fine piece.”
People in jade-gambling could go bankrupt for a good piece of jade. If she were into gem-cutting, Pei Jue would be the top choice.
It took Pei Jue a moment to realize that she was complimenting him.
Qingwu retrieved a men’s watch from her bag and handed it to him without looking back.
“I modified it, but if you don’t like it…”
“I love it! I’ll like anything you give me!”
Last time, on the way back to Qingshan County, Qingwu had casually modified his watch as a return gift for the watch he gave her.
“Thanks to my fiancée.”
Qingwu looked at the hand he extended. No matter what he wore, he always used the cufflinks she had given him during her time at Great Wall Hospital.
Anyone unaware would think that the head of the Pei Clan only had one pair of usable cufflinks.
Qingwu met his bright eyes, took the watch, and helped him fasten it.
Su Mi popped up out of nowhere, “Qingwu darling, I’m all set, let’s go, I found a great spot.”
“I have two friends, would you mind?”
Qingwu pointed at Hai Xin and Chu Yuheng, who were crawling out from under the table.
Su Mi’s mouth twitched, “Ha? In this day, even The Earth God can transform into a human? Since they are Qingwu darling’s friends, let’s all go together. It’s just… they seem kinda familiar to me?”
Su Mi had watched many movies, but the image on the big screen and the Chu Yuheng here who was eating heartily didn’t match in her mind, so she didn’t recognize them.
The Su Family’s gem-stone-gambling event invited many guests, most probably drawn by the name of the Gambling Stone King.
According to jade-gambling rules, if someone fancied a piece from the exposed raw stones, it could be auctioned.
But since it was the Su Family’s event, any good jade revealed would mostly end up in their pocket.
Su Mi patted her chest, “This spot has the best view. If you fancy any stone, Qingwu darling, I’ll buy it for you!”
Master Hai Xin remarked disdainfully, “What good thing can the Su Family offer?”
Chu Yuheng nodded in agreement while still eating cake, “I didn’t spot anything good.”
Qingwu lifted her gaze slightly, “There’s something, but not much.”
Among the huge pile of raw materials displayed by the Su Family, only two or three were worth looking at, and they wouldn’t fetch a high price on the market.
Chu Yuheng elegantly wiped her mouth and said seriously, “Miss Su, your family’s cake is delicious. Can you pack some for me when I leave?”
“Great taste! I’ll pack it for you!”
Pei Jue sat beside Qingwu, holding her hand, and whispered, “Does my fiancée also know gem-stone-gambling?”
“No, it’s all guesses, just lucky.”
Typically, gem-stone-gambling relies on luck, but his fiancée sat with the Gambling Stone King, Master Hai Xin, and Chu Yuheng repeatedly called him master…
He restrained himself, “Miss Chu looks a lot like the person who accompanied my fiancée last time.”
He still remembered the people from Chang Yue Laboratory who helped Qingwu at Great Wall Hospital, one of whom resembled Chu Yuheng five or six times.
Qingwu replied blandly, “Lian Zhen and Yuheng are twins.”
Since both had the Constellation name, Chu Yuheng should also be from the Beidou Star group.
On the stage, the Su Family’s eldest son, Su Yao, donned a well-tailored and meticulous suit, smiling at the audience.
Su Mi whispered, “My older brother, not a good person.”
Chu Yuheng’s mouth twitched, “Isn’t he your biological brother?”
Could someone sell out their own brother like that?
Su Mi shrugged, unconcerned.
“Yeah, does not being a good person mean I can’t say it? Su Wenyin is both ugly and stupid, while my brother has many evil schemes. Qingwu darling, if my brother tries talking to you later, just ignore him.”
There was a subtle hint in Su Mi’s words.
Qingwu nodded with understanding, “Got it, thanks.”
Su Yao’s gaze scanned the audience, finally settling on Qingwu, but he withdrew it only after meeting Pei Jue’s warning look.
“Thank you all for coming to the Su Family’s gem-stone-gambling event. Let’s get straight to the point and first welcome the Gambling Stone King!”
The legend of the Gambling Stone King was too influential, even Su Mi was eager as she watched the stage.
In contrast to the crowd’s attention, the two people next to Qingwu were full of disdain for the so-called Gambling Stone King.
Chu Yuheng: “Hehe.”
Hai Xin: “What kind of thing dares to impersonate me.”
A middle-aged man with a thin mustache slowly appeared on stage, making Master Hai Xin’s mouth twitch.
“Ugly, and this one’s still daring to come out and gamble stones? Does he not fear scaring the stones away?”
Su Yao clapped his hands, “This is the renowned Gambling Stone King, Mr. Geng Ling!”
“The Su Family hopes to witness the miracle of stone gambling with everyone. Apart from raw stones selected by Mr. Geng Ling that will be unraveled on-site, we also invite everyone to choose the raw stones you like for unraveling. Good ones belong to you, bad ones belong to our Su Family!”
Chu Yuheng scoffed, “Sounds grand but just fooling laymen. Among these raw stones, there aren’t many quality ones.”
The Su Family would never conduct business at a loss.
Su Yao’s gaze lingered on Qingwu.
“Lady Shen, do you have any interest in selecting two raw stones?”
“””
