"It's getting late, you should rest," Guo Xuyang said.
"Yangzi, can you stay with us?" Li Xiaolu said as Guo Xuyang was about to go to another room.
She had personally seen a living person collapse in this room.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Hong asked.
"Nothing? Perhaps she was stimulated by what I said earlier." Guo Xuyang quickly replied.
"You should go to sleep early, I'll chat with them for a while longer."
"I've slept for a long time, I'm not sleepy. You go to sleep, I'll chat with them." Xiao Hong said.
"That works too. I'll go to sleep for a bit, and I'll come back to accompany them later." Guo Xuyang said and went to the next room to sleep.
"Aren't you doctors? Why are you so scared?" Xiao Hong looked at Li Xiaolu and Gao Yuan.
"Let's not talk about that. You said earlier that the warehouse is under the courtyard we're staying in, to the west?" Gao Yuan said.
"That's right. All the raw jade purchased by Yangzi from Myanmar and Ruili are stored in the warehouse below."
"How many stones are there?"
"Not many now. It was full when I first came. But most of it was moved to King's Villa later. After your Uncle Guo and Aunt arrived, they moved it away."
"You mean Yangzi bought that villa to store stones?"
"I'm not too sure about that. But this villa was developed by his own real estate company. Xia Li used to sell villas there. If he hadn't bought a villa, he wouldn't have met Xia Li."
"Who buys a villa from their own real estate company? Is he like the tipsy fisherman who sets his nets not for fish?" Li Xiaolu said.
"This real estate company didn't belong to Yangzi initially; it was a gift from President Cheng. He didn't know that King's Villa was developed by the real estate company President Cheng gave him."
"What kind of person is President Cheng? Why is he so generous?"
"I'm not too sure about that either. He came when Ilena had her baby, and he came to our wedding, but he didn't interact with us much. He's more familiar with Xiao Xi and the others. Xiao Xi calls him Uncle."
"The Xiao Xi you're referring to is that Director Li?"
"Yes. What's wrong?"
"I think Xiao Xi is amazing."
"Of course. The film and television group under her has produced several blockbusters and made many artists famous. When she was pregnant, she even introduced several popular stars to Yangzi."
"Isn't Xiao Xi jealous?"
"Of course not. She has a very good relationship with those popular stars."
"Are they also Yangzi's wives?"
"Some of them are. And there are others who, although they didn't attend the wedding ceremony with us, have been intimate with Yangzi."
"Wasn't it Xiao Xi who forced them?"
"Certainly not. I remember Yangzi gave each of them a piece of raw jade. Then several of them couldn't resist anymore."
"Sister-in-law Xiao Hong, you're not telling a story, are you? Would those stars sleep with Yangzi just for a stone?"
"The least expensive was tens of millions, and the most expensive was perhaps over a hundred million," Xiao Hong said.
Li Xiaolu was speechless upon hearing this: "How much? What kind of jade is that valuable?"
"How do you think Yangzi amassed his vast fortune? Most of the jade they cut was high-ice grade, and there were several imperial green ones."
"Forget over a hundred million, even ten million, and I'd agree to sleep with Yangzi."
"Wake up. What are you thinking about?" Gao Yuan nudged her twice.
"Have you forgotten what Director Li told us back then?"
"I wasn't planning to marry him. If I can earn tens of millions from one night, why wouldn't I do it? It won't cost me much."
"If it won't cost you much, aren't you afraid of gaining ten more pounds?"
"There are so many preventative measures now, I'm not stupid."
"Then who was just crying and saying they would remain chaste for love. I'm not that kind of person," Gao Yuan said.
"If I had those ten million, I wouldn't care what kind of person he thought I was."
"Sister-in-law Xiao Hong was right earlier, Guo Zong's little trick managed to break through your defenses."
"Is that a small trick? That's hard cash. Ten million, how long would it take me to save ten million? Just one night to earn ten million, thinking about it makes me feel like I'm getting rich quick. Besides, Yangzi is quite handsome."
"Stop fantasizing, be careful if Director Li finds out and kicks you out," Gao Yuan said.
"With ten million, who would still work here?" Li Xiaolu said.
"Hmm?" Xiao Hong looked up at Li Xiaolu.
"No, Sister-in-law Xiao Hong. I just misspoke."
"You're absolutely right. If I had ten million, I wouldn't serve anyone anymore either," Xiao Hong said.
"It's not like that, Sister-in-law Xiao Hong. Don't be angry."
"I'm not angry, I'm speaking the truth. Actually, I could tell that Yangzi was interested in you when he made that bet with you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have warned you about his little tricks. You might be a couple of years older than me, but you've had less contact with Yangzi. Everyone in his family is more formidable than I am. I'm still a freshman, but I've experienced much more than you all. I've experienced pretty much the dark side of things. I am unfortunate yet fortunate, fortunate to have met Yangzi. Otherwise, I'd probably be living a life worse than death right now. When I was sent home, Yangzi gave me a million. At the time, I thought it was a fortune. But after I came here and got familiar with others, I realized I was just an ugly duckling. Everything I wore and used was inferior to theirs. And these people seem to have no concept of money. Because they never have to worry about money. When I went for prenatal classes, listened to music, tasted tea, and went shopping with Xiao Xi, it gave me a different visual and sensory enjoyment. That's when I realized how narrow my horizons were. Later, I studied hard, wanting to keep up with them, but I always felt powerless. So I decided to return to school to continue my studies after giving birth. Since I can't catch up in these aspects, I'll achieve something in my studies, at least so I can help Yangzi manage some of his businesses when I return. Look at the bracelet on my hand, this is imperial green. The current market price has already exceeded one hundred million. I'm talking about the market price in our own stores. Outside, it would be half as much or more. Because we cut them from stones ourselves, we sell them very cheaply."
Li Xiaolu and Gao Yuan were stunned by Wang Lihong's words. They truly did not know that the Sister-in-law Xiao Hong in front of them was still a university student, nor did they know what she had been through. What shocked them most was the bracelet on Xiao Hong's wrist. Over one hundred million, something they could not even imagine wearing on their wrists. Yet, the current Xiao Hong was so nonchalant, as if it were no different from wearing a bracelet worth twenty to thirty thousand. Li Xiaolu even had a mischievous thought: "Would she still show it off if it broke?" But it was just a thought; she dared not touch Xiao Hong's bracelet. If it broke, selling herself wouldn't be worth that much money.
