The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise

Chapter 539: Betrayal – 2

Chu Yunsheng enjoyed great fame in the Lucky Cloud Pavilion, so Lu Jingqing and Jin Can would not say no to his demand.

Perhaps he was not happy with Fu Zhi’s attitude, after he took a sip of tea, he brought his disciple into the exhibition hall.

The exhibition hall was filled with people right now as most of the bigshots and business tycoons in Myanmar had come down from the second floor to view the jade stones.

In stone gambling, there was one rule that every stone gambler had to follow. That’s whenever someone was appraising a jade stone, the other people should not stand near that particular jade stone if it were not for special circumstances. This was to avoid unnecessary strife.

“President Lu, I have read all the information about these jade stones in advance, the one I am most interested in is No. 20, but I believe many people are going after it as well.”

Even if Chu Yunsheng did not need help from Lu Jingqing’s staff, he still did not prevent some of them from following after him to show that he was the most special and different from the rest.

Right now, the other group had finished appraising jade stone no. 20. When they saw Chu Yunsheng, they greeted him and then went away hurriedly.

Chu Yunsheng went nearer to the jade stone no. 20.

There were four ways in appraising a jade stone: Observe, weigh, light, feel, and knock.

Since Chu Yunsheng’s vision had deteriorated due to his old age, he pulled out the magnifying glass and microscope that he prepared in advance to observe the jade stone.

He believed that the two best ways in appraising a jade stone were through observing and feeling.

His disciple was taking notes beside him.

Just when he stretched his arm forward, a hand appeared out of nowhere and reached out to the jade stone.

In the next second, before he could say anything, the hand knocked on the jade stone lightly with the phone, releasing a tinkling sound into the air.

“890 million... Hmm, it’s not worth it. The probability of getting a high-quality jade from it is low. Cross it out of the list and let’s move to the next one.”

Chu Yunsheng turned his head around and he frowned slightly.

Then, without giving Fu Zhi any chance to say anything, he snarled, “Did I not mention before that I don’t like other people to disturb me when I’m looking at a jade stone?

“Also, what do you mean by the probability of getting a high-quality jade from it is low, huh? Are you teaching how to appraise a jade stone? If you don’t know anything about it, just stand aside and keep your mouth shut! This jade stone is obviously one of the best jade stones around here. I’ve met a lot of people like you. All of you act all high and mighty and think that you know everything in the world just because you’ve read a few books. Let me tell you something, you don’t know anything! Hurry up and get the hell out of here before I get angry!”

Fu Zhi then glanced at him and said, “You don’t know me so how can you be so sure that I know nothing about stone gambling?”

Before Chu Yunsheng could say anything, his disciple chimed in, “Is that even a question? Ms. Fu, do you know that in order to become an expert in stone gambling, one has to have at least 10 years of experience in stone gambling. How old are you this year? Can you please stop making yourself a fool here?”

“Gan Luo was 12 years old when he was appointed as a minister, which shows that there is no significant connection between knowledge and age.”

“Gan Luo? Hah, you’re such an egoistic girl, Ms. Fu.”

Ever since he became famous, nobody had dared to talk to him in this kind of attitude. He would not really care if she acted like a spoiled child in front of him, but one thing she should never do was that she should not question his ability.

“Mr. Lu!” Chu Yunsheng turned to Lu Jingqing, “I will give you two choices now. One, you take your daughter to prevent the same thing from happening again and have her apologize to me. Two, my disciple and I will leave right now, and you will have to deal with the stone gambling yourself!”

Apparently, everyone could see that he just wanted Fu Zhi to apologize to him.

“Apologize?” Lu Jingqing raised his eyebrows, “Why should she apologize to you?”

Chu Yunshen replied, “Each field has different experts. It goes without saying that discussion and argument are very common when it comes to stone gambling, but does she not know that one should never interfere when the others are appraising a jade stone? Besides, I was invited here to help you, not to get insulted and ridiculed by some meddling kid!”

Even though Jin Can was trying his best to stop Lu Jingqing, the latter ignored him and said, “Well, stone gambling is important, but if my daughter doesn’t want it, I’d rather use the money to buy a stone.”

After all, the reason he earned so much money was to make his wife and daughter happy.

“I’ll give you two choices as well, Mr. Chu. We can turn the page and act as if nothing has happened. You can continue to give advice on which jade stone we should bid on, and we will follow your instructions. However, if you don’t agree to that, I’m afraid we’ll have to say goodbye here.”

Everyone could see that Lu Jingqing had chosen to stand on his daughter’s side.

“Very well, then!”

Chu Yunsheng did not expect that Lu Jingqing would dare to talk back to him in public. The reason he was willing to put up with the Lu Family was due to Gu Yanqi and the Gu Family behind his back. Now that Lu Jingqing had made his stance very clear, Chu Yunsheng decided to throw everything into the wind and said, “Since you’re willing to waste your money on your daughter, there’s nothing I could do as well. I hope you do well in your future endeavors, Mr. Lu!”

After that, he turned around and left.

Nobody dared to speak for a moment.

Other than Wu Qi and his group, the rest of the people could not believe what Lu Jingqing had done.

After what seemed like an eternity, people slowly came back to their senses and a few laughs could be heard from the crowd.

“What did Lu Jingqing just say? He’s willing to spend his money on a useless stone for his daughter?”

“Does his daughter know about stone gambling? How dare she say Master Chu is wrong?”

“What an arrogant brat. She’s just 16 or 17 years old, and she should be studying in school right now. Why the hell did he bring her here?”

“That’s right! Not only that but her father’s willing to listen to her bullsh*t! He’s the dumbest person I’ve ever seen in my life!”

Everyone was criticizing the Lu Family, while Wu Qi signaled Wu Zhiheng to go after Chu Yunsheng.

As for Jin Can, he did not expect things would turn out this way and he did not know what to do as well.

Although he could understand that Lu Jingqing was just being protective of his daughter, it’s just that there were many ways to protect her. He did not have to chase Chu Yunsheng away.

He turned to Lu Jingqing and said, “We’ve lost our ace now that Chu Yunsheng is gone. I don’t have the confidence that I could help you!”

“Don’t worry, I have faith in you. Besides, we didn’t plan to rely on Chu Yunsheng in the first place,” Lu Jingqing patted Jin Can’s shoulder, “Just try your best.”

Jin Can slapped Lu Jingqing’s hand away from his shoulder and said expressionlessly, “I would never be afraid of darkness if I had never seen the light. Meeting the wrong person at the right time is just like waiting for a heavy downpour of rain with no end in sight.”

Lu Jingqing and Fu Zhi were speechless.

Jin Can sighed and continued, “I’m just worried that other people might approach Chu Yunsheng now that they all know he’s not going to help us anymore. If that happens, we will be doomed.”

“Chill. There’s no need to get so paranoid. Everything will be fine.”

Given the fact that Chu Yunsheng was still convinced that the jade stone no. 20 was a good jade stone despite having done his homework, Fu Zhi was positive that those who really went after him were no different from inviting death onto themselves.

Before Jin Can could say anything, Fu Zhi took a look at her watch and said, “It’s 9 o’clock. Let’s keep appraising the jade stone.”

In the meantime, at the Lucky Cloud Pavilion’s parking lot.

As Chu Yunsheng was walking, he chided the Lu Family inwardly. He had never come across such a rude family in his life before.

If it were not for the Gu Family, he would never have come here at all.

‘Who the hell do they think they are? How dare they talk to me like that and chase me away?’

Suddenly, a voice rang out behind his back, “Wait, Master Chu.”

Chu Yunsheng turned his head around.

The person was none other than Wu Qi. He approached Chu Yunsheng and said, “I’ve heard of the things that happened in the exhibition hall, Master Chu. It’s all the Lu Family’s fault. You came all the way here just to help them, but not only did they not appreciate your help, they also chased you away. I don’t know what they are thinking at all.”

Chu Yunsheng let out a cold laugh after he heard what Wu Qi had said.

Wu Qi laughed inwardly when he saw Chu Yunsheng’s reaction. This was something that he would like to see.

Chu Yunsheng’s disciple took a look at the exhibition hall and harrumphed, “What are they thinking? They are a bunch of idiots. There’s no way we can understand what they are thinking at all. We told them to bid on jade stone No. 20, but they refused to listen to us!”

“What? Were they out of their minds? Did they not know that everyone in the exhibition hall has their eyes set on jade stone No. 20? You’ve done so much research for them, so how could they not believe in you?” Wu Qi said.

Chu Yunsheng replied, “I came only to help them only because a friend of mine asked me to. I didn’t expect that they would chase me away at all!”

“There’s no need to get so hot and bothered, Master Chu. There must be something wrong with them for chasing you away. After all, you’re the most experienced expert in stone gambling, and I’m sure they will realize their mistake very soon.”
