Chapter 142 I’ll give it to you
Judging from the attitudes of the people around me, it must be the right one.
Yun Yao found it even more intriguing. This stone gambling event was organized by the Anna family, and he, a member of the Anna family, had actually been reduced to buying things himself.
Irving first thanked everyone for their gratitude before looking at Yun Yao.
“Miss, my father loved gambling on stones when he was alive, but he passed away before I could repay his kindness. Now, the only thing I can do is place the things he always cared about in front of his grave, as a way of showing my respect.” Owen spoke fluent Mandarin, and even Yun Yao couldn’t help but look at him with new respect.
If you want others to respect you, you must give them the same respect.
In this respect, he did something that deeply pleased Yun Yao.
"Alright, I'll buy this stone." Yun Yao tossed the card onto the stall.
Her behavior drew gasps and curses from those around her.
“Mr. Owen, what did I tell you? You can’t trust a treacherous and selfish woman like that! Come here, I have another one!”
Voices of indignation for Owen rose and fell, but the protagonist showed no intention of moving; his tender gaze fell on Yun Yao.
The stall owner handed the card back, giving Irving a very apologetic look. Irving nodded to indicate that the other party didn't need to feel guilty.
Right before everyone's eyes, Yun Yao weighed the stone in her hand, and then threw it directly into Owen's arms.
"Give it to you."
Owen didn't seem surprised by the result. He carefully caught the stone, and when he looked up again, Yun Yao was already walking towards the "King of Stones" in front of him.
The stone still retained her warmth. Owen gently stroked it, then handed it to the bodyguard and followed.
"My name is Owen. May I ask how you are addressed, miss?"
Yun Yao placed her hand on the surface of the stone, her expression serious. When she heard Owen's question, she answered casually.
"Yun Yao."
Yun Yao is a beautiful name, just like her—simple and dignified.
“You like this piece? As a return gift, I can buy it for you,” Owen said softly from the side.
Yun Yao only examined it for a moment before getting up and shaking her head.
"It's just artificially inflated value. What would I do with a piece of marble? Go back and use it to lay flooring?"
The single stone stirred up a huge wave, and the crowd of onlookers instantly erupted in uproar.
The shifty-eyed stall owner was the first to become dissatisfied, immediately accusing Yun Yao: "How dare you talk like that? If you can't afford it, just say you can't afford it. Why spread rumors!"
Seeing the indignant expressions on the faces of the stall owner and the people around him, Yun Yao couldn't help but scoff.
Just as he was about to say something, he was stopped by Irving beside him.
“Miss Yun, why bother arguing with them? You bought all the raw materials they wanted, so it’s understandable that they’re angry and blinded by greed.” Owen’s words quickly dispelled Yun Yao’s anger.
Luo Hong squeezed through the crowd and finally saw Yun Yao.
"Ancestor, you really made me search all over the place!" Luo Hong said breathlessly.
Owen was surprised by Luo Hong's attitude toward Yun Yao, but he dared not be impolite.
“Uncle Qin,” Owen greeted politely.
Of those present, probably only Irving recognized Luo Hong's identity.
Luo Hong, who was panting heavily, wondered who had such good taste. He looked up and saw Irving.
"It's Owen! Long time no see!" Luo Hong patted Owen on the shoulder.
Anyone can be evasive, so Luo Hong didn't talk much with Owen. After exchanging polite greetings, he looked at Yun Yao.
“Grandpa, you’ve bought almost all the raw materials here. Shouldn’t we go home?” Luo Hong asked.
"That's about enough. Enough to get some good stuff. Let's go, let's go take a look."
After nodding to Owen, Yun Yao left with Luo Hong's help.
Irving watched their departing figures, his expression slightly somber.
What exactly is her relationship with the Qin family that would make the Qin family head treat her with such care?
“Young Master, we should leave now.” A middle-aged man who looked like a butler stepped forward.
Irving nodded, and as he turned around, he felt a prying gaze. He looked up and saw Daniel staring at him from the second floor with a gloomy expression.
When the two met, the atmosphere should have been tense, but Irving was the first to look away and turn away.
Upstairs, Daniel's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, his eyes filled with ruthlessness.
That woman actually knows Irving?
No wonder, no wonder!
In his eyes, Yun Yao was sent by Owen to provoke him, and his hatred for Owen intensified.
"Kill him, kill him."
The voice kept echoing in his ears, and Daniel's eyes gradually became unfocused as he walked away like a zombie.
As soon as Yun Yao and Luo Hong stepped out of the hall, more than a dozen bodyguards quickly surrounded them.
It's no wonder they're making a mountain out of a molehill; the security outside is completely different from that inside. Not far from them, there was a brawl involving more than twenty people, seemingly fighting over a piece of raw jade.
Not far from the crowd, a middle-aged man was holding a little boy and desperately backing away, his eyes filled with terror.
Yun Yao gently pushed the bodyguard's hand away and walked towards the father and son.
"Tell me, what happened?" Yun Yao reached out her hand to the little boy who was holding his head and sobbing softly.
On one side, there was a bloody brawl, and on the other side, there was a beautiful scene as if a goddess from the heavens had descended to save the world from suffering. It all looked rather awkward.
The little boy was about ten years old. When he heard Mandarin, he timidly looked up and was almost dazzled by Yun Yao's beauty. At that moment, he really thought that Yun Yao was a fairy who had descended to earth to save him and his father.
"My dad and I finally found some raw jade, and they robbed us of it all. Now there's only one piece left, and they're still planning to steal it! We don't have a single penny left. How am I supposed to get my dad medical treatment?" The little boy's voice was trembling with tears, but the anger in his eyes was just as intense.
Yun Yao suddenly produced a square handkerchief and gently wiped the little boy's dirty cheeks.
"Rob? Robbery?"
The little boy nodded, with glistening tears in the corners of his eyes, looking utterly pitiful.
The middle-aged man seemed to have lost his soul; Yun Yao had been standing in front of him for a long time, but there was not a ripple in his eyes.
Yun Yao glanced at him and could see that the man was not only blind, but also severely depleted of his internal organs, which made her feel a little sorry for him.
Seeing that Yun Yao and the others meant no harm, the little boy dared to raise his eyes, but he quickly noticed the stones in the hands of the bodyguards behind Yun Yao. He looked startled and raised his hand, pointing at the stones with trembling hands.
"These...they are all ours!" A deep hatred welled up inside her small body.
Yun Yao's eyes narrowed slightly, and she understood the cause and effect.
According to the little boy's account, he and his father probably wanted to use the jade gambling event to earn money for medical expenses, but they were just ordinary people and their voices carried little weight. All the rough stones they had painstakingly found were snatched up by the locals, and the last piece they managed to get was probably a complete waste.
"Little friend, your father is blind, so you saw all these stones?" Yun Yao asked.
The little boy nodded, wiping away his tears again and again.
Yun Yao had already made up her mind, and smiled sweetly.
"Luo Hong."
From Yun Yao's first move, Luo Hong had already guessed her intentions, and he was just waiting for her to speak!
Luo Hong raised his hand, and the well-trained bodyguards behind him rushed towards the crowd, and the two groups of people started fighting.
How could a bunch of brute force fighters compare to these professional bodyguards? In no time, they were all lying on the ground groaning in pain, leaving the beautifully crafted stone lying there all alone...
