Guo Xuyang went upstairs and after seeing Li Minxi settled in, he came to the warehouse of the western villa.
Xia Li was selecting jade rough stones with Pi Xiaoxian and Wang Yu.
"Xia Li, I want a few decorative pieces this time, no bracelets or anything."
"President Pi, the material for decorative pieces is rare. The five pieces you requested last time were cut from material destined for Shanghai."
"Then I'll pick a few large stones. Let's see if there's any good material inside?"
"Why didn't you call Yangzi down to help you pick?"
"The old man is being disciplined by the bride," Pi Xiaoxian said with a sly grin.
Before the words were even finished, Guo Xuyang's voice sounded in their ears.
"Fatty, caught you bad-mouthing me, didn't I?"
"Oh, my dear brother, aren't I speaking up for you?" Pi Xiaoxian said hurriedly.
"Nonsense. Are you speaking up for me? You're clearly trying to blacken my name in front of the beautiful lady."
Wang Yu covered her mouth and chuckled, not saying a word. She knew Guo Xuyang and Pi Xiaoxian were joking.
"Mr. Guo, Madam Xia just said you can help pick out material for decorative pieces, is that true?"
"Is it? You're exaggerating my abilities. Fatty, why do you want decorative pieces?"
"The decorative pieces Xia Li gave me last time were bought. People are extremely fond of decorative pieces now. They say they're bought to be heirlooms."
"People are now realizing the collection value of jade. High-quality jade is becoming increasingly rare. Those with foresight are shifting their investments to jade collection. It's much better than gold collection."
"Antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times. The old saying is absolutely true."
"That's why we attach great importance to decorative pieces now. Small items like bracelets and earrings are mostly carved from scrap materials."
"Yangzi, you have to do me a favor. You know I don't understand these things. If it were open-cut material, I could buy some, but with these fully gambled stones, I have no confidence."
"There's still some high-grade material in the storage room below. Why don't you take that?"
"Brother, spare me. You know my capabilities. If I take the material from the storage room below, how can I make any money?"
"Your business is good. I think these jade pieces are just sitting there, so you might as well take them back to use."
"Brother, you have to let me prepare some dowry money! You know I don't have much money left."
Guo Xuyang saw Pi Xiaoxian's pitiful look and knew he was deliberately being playful. However, he really couldn't refuse him.
After all, he was the one who had poached from him first.
"Alright, I'll help you find a few pieces of material. But this is the last time."
"What are you saying? Am I that kind of person?"
Pi Xiaoxian was not that kind of person, to be precise. He was mainly used to picking up bargains behind Guo Xuyang.
Guo Xuyang helped him find a few good pieces of material. These pieces were not cheap; each one, when cut, could be worth several hundred million or even over a billion.
"Yangzi, Xiaoxi's classmates are here, won't you help them pick a stone?" Pi Xiaoxian said slyly.
"You are a couple now. I've already picked out several for you."
"That's the camaraderie between us brothers. This shouldn't be mixed with the feelings for Xiaoxi's classmates."
"I can find stones for Wang Yu, but you'll have to pay for those." Guo Xuyang knew Pi Xiaoxian's intentions.
"Of course, I can't take advantage of these brothers and sisters."
"Since you put it that way, I won't hold back. Take these two pieces."
Guo Xuyang kicked two stones, weighing five to six kilograms each, towards Pi Xiaoxian.
Wang Yu felt Guo Xuyang didn't respect her. She hadn't expected the stones Pi Xiaoxian was talking about to be just two inconspicuous stones at his feet.
"Thanks, brother," Pi Xiaoxian said.
"This is the last time. Once Brother Liang sets the date, you guys should come over early."
"No problem. It's just me and Xiaoyu, no one else."
"What? Do you have a problem?"
"How could I dare? I have no objections. However, I do feel a little sorry for Xiaoxi."
"Get lost, you brat! You're getting the benefits and still acting innocent." Guo Xuyang cursed with a laugh.
"I'm not like some people, looking for something else while having something in hand."
Pi Xiaoxian was now very confident, mainly because Li Minyu didn't like him, and he had found Wang Yu.
"Wang Yu, this guy abandons his friends for women. You need to be careful in the future."
"It's okay, Mr. Guo. If he dares to find a mistress, I'll find a fourth or fifth."
Guo Xuyang broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this.
He really didn't know Wang Yu was such a fierce girl.
No, a woman. A girl was a thing of the past.
"My brother is not a paper tiger, don't challenge him."
"Mr. Guo, if I had to choose, I'd still choose President Pi. However, men and women are equal. If he respects me, I will naturally respect him. If he dares to flirt with other women, I'll give him a whole grassland."
Guo Xuyang was completely defeated by Wang Yu.
However, it was precisely because of Wang Yu's ferocity that she could completely subdue Pi Xiaoxian.
But Guo Xuyang didn't take Wang Yu's words lightly. He believed that if Wang Yu said it, she could definitely do it.
In today's society, it's like crossing a mountain to get a woman, but a thin layer of gauze to get a man. As long as the problem of more men than women is not resolved, men's status will never be elevated.
Moreover, Wang Yu was a top student from the medical school.
While Pi Xiaoxian was searching for decorative pieces in the warehouse, Xu Liping was already on her way back.
She had a detailed discussion with Wu Youzhi.
Wu Youzhi readily agreed to her request and planned to go abroad with her to hold a wedding ceremony in the next two to three months.
She was also very happy, as it could be considered a successful outcome.
"President Xu, why are you so happy?" Jiang Wuxi asked, noticing Xu Liping's occasional smiles.
"My child has a father, so of course I'm happy."
"President Wu is going to marry you?"
"Yes. We might go abroad to hold the wedding next month."
"President Xu, I see that Yangzi has many female friends. Are they all Yangzi's women?" Jiang Wuxi asked.
"Most of the ones accompanying you are Yangzi's women. As for the bridesmaids, I'm not sure. But many of them are celebrities. They probably aren't Yangzi's women, are they?" Xu Liping was also uncertain if these bridesmaids were Yangzi's women.
"Never mind the bridesmaids, but these women are all top-notch. Any one of them could be a lead or second lead actress."
"Don't underestimate Yangzi. Not to mention distant ones, just look at Xiaoyu and Xiaohong. Aren't they both perfect specimens? And they're all Yangzi's concubines."
Jiang Wuxi was a little stunned. She knew she was merely a one-night stand in Yangzi's eyes. Although she was fortunate enough to gain Yangzi's favor, she maintained a shred of clarity.
She dared not consider herself Guo Xuyang's woman.
