Tang Xiu had already walked around the inside and outside of the sheds and memorized the locations of the stones he wanted to buy. After learning about them, he finally understood that the prices of those stones were not negotiable. If he wanted to buy them, he had to pay for them, and if he didn't want to buy them, he could go elsewhere. But the price of the jades taken out of the stones could be negotiated.
"Boss, I want these two stones."
After coming to a nearby shack, Tan Xiu pointed to the two stones he had inspected before. The total price of these two stones was 28,000 yuan. After paying with his card, Tan Xiu found a cart driver and loaded the two stones into the cart.
"Mr. Tang."
Xue Yu strode forward and slowly came before Tan Xiu. Her eyes swept the cart and lightly smiled, "Do you like to gamble on stones, Mr. Tang?"
Tan Xiu didn't want to have more contact with this woman because the dozens of stones he fancied contained good quality jades and jades. Furthermore, he had decided to ask Master Huang to help him cut the stones. Once the jades and jades were taken out, his identity would be suspected by this strange woman.
"I'm just playing around."
Tan Xiu said perfunctorily.
"I also want to gamble on stones, so this trip won't be in vain," said Xue Yu with a faint smile. "If Mr. Tang doesn't mind, how about we choose the stones together?"
Tan Xiu slightly furrowed his brows. He pondered for a moment and then said, "I'm sorry, but I've already chosen the stones and won't stay in each shack for a long time. If Miss Xue wants to choose the stones, please go ahead. "
Having said that …
He didn't give Xue Yu a chance to speak and directly walked toward the next shack. Trouble should be avoided as much as possible. His special means could not be known by others, and naturally, it was better for fewer people to know about it.
Xue Yu was dumbfounded. She had never encountered such a person before. He spoke in a completely perfunctory manner, and in the end, he bluntly refused her request. Moreover … he didn't even give her a chance to speak and just left like that?
Xue Yu had met a lot of people and experienced a lot of things since childhood. Yet, no one had ever refused her or showed a repulsive attitude.
"There must be something strange about him."
Xue Yu steeled her heart and chased after Tan Xiu's back under the influence of that strong aura. Regardless of whether Tan Xiu allowed her to follow, she wanted to witness Tan Xiu's methods of stone gambling.
After entering the shanty, Tan Xiu was keenly aware that Xue Yu had followed him in. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied and thought that this woman was not sensible, he could not directly drive her away since she did not come to strike up a conversation. After spending 1.6 million to buy a few stones, Tan Xiu left with the cart driver.
Xue Yu had been maintaining a distance of seven or eight meters from Tan Xiu. She did not intervene in Tan Xiu's purchase of stones, nor did she say anything to affect Tan Xiu. Her beautiful eyes were only filled with curiosity as they lingered between Tan Xiu and the stones.
After nearly an hour, Tan Xiu had invited a total of six cart drivers and spent a total of more than 42 million to buy dozens of stones. However, there was a piece of stone that was priced at 28 million. That piece of stone was also the largest among all the stones. It took a small cart to load that piece of stone that was two to three hundred kilograms.
"Miss Xue, you've been following me for nearly an hour. You should be tired, right?" Tan Xiu finally stopped and looked at Xue Yu with a dissatisfied expression.
Xue Yu, as though she did not see Tan Xiu's dissatisfied expression, chuckled and said, "I'm just curious about you, Mr. Tang. That's why I want to have more contact with you. Furthermore, you're very casual in picking stones, which I admire. "
"Then, do you think I should say that I'm honored?" Tan Xiu said indifferently.
"No need to say that. Just let me see if the stones you picked can be cut into jades and jadeites." Xue Yu shook her head.
Tan Xiu thought for a moment and asked, "If I ask you to leave now, will you leave?"
"I'll leave and chat with Master Huang." Xue Yu nodded.
"Let's get straight to the point!" Tan Xiu said. "What do you want?"
Xue Yu said, "I really just want to know more about you, nothing else. I heard from Master Huang that you're the young Divine Doctor of Star City Chinese Medical Hospital. You're able to achieve such great attainments in Chinese medicine at such a young age, which shows that you're not an ordinary person. Perhaps, it's very likely that you're the same kind of person as me. "
Tan Xiu's brows stretched out as he said with a faint smile, "Then I want to know, what kind of person are you? And where are you from? "
Xue Yu hesitated for a moment before she gently raised her hands and made a series of hand gestures. Then, she said, "If you can understand my hand gestures, you'll know who I am and where I come from."
Tan Xiu was dumbfounded. He simply could not understand the meaning of Xue Yu's hand gestures. After giving it a thought, he simply let go of his vigilance and said, "Maybe we're not the same kind of people. I can't understand your hand gestures, let alone guess where you come from. Since you want to follow me, I can't throw away my face and drive you away. So follow me if you want to! But … "
There was a bit of disappointment in Xue Yu's eyes. But after hearing that Tan Xiu was willing to let her follow him, she still asked, "But what?"
"In this society where men and women are equal, you can't just look at the cart drivers working so hard and not help them, can you?" Tan Xiu said. "Look at this cart driver. He's pushing 200 to 300 kilograms of stones. Isn't it very strenuous?"
Xue Yu was stunned. She looked at Tan Xiu with disbelief. She opened her mouth, yet she didn't know what to say. He … he actually wants me to help the cart driver push … push the cart?
Tan Xiu's expression turned cold. He deliberately showed an impatient look and waved his hand. "If you want to push the cart, then do it. If you don't want to, then just leave. I don't need to go to Master Huang's place to cut the stones, but I can't have any idlers following me.
As his voice faded away, he directly turned around and walked away.
Xue Yu was dumbfounded as she watched Tan Xiu walk more than ten meters away. Only then did she sober up from her shock. She shook her head, at a loss whether she had to laugh or cry. Watching the cart driver strenuously pushing the cart, she quickly caught up with him and helped push the cart.
At the intersection dozens of meters away.
Chu Yuan, who had an ordinary appearance but exuded the aura of a superior, walked out from another aisle with a young man and a young woman. Behind them, two cart drivers were pushing two carts filled with stones, following them at a moderate pace.
"Huh?"
Chu Yuan's footsteps suddenly came to a halt. He saw the carts coming from the left, and his eyes finally fell on Xue Yu, who was wearing a mink fur coat and a veil.
Stunned!
Confused!
Never in his wildest dreams did Chu Yuan think that the famous Jade Beauty, Xue Yu, would one day help the cart driver to push the cart under the watchful eyes of many people.
She …
Since when did she need to do it herself?
"Boss, it's Jade Beauty."
The young man behind Chu Yuan had an incredulous look on his face and said in a low voice.
"I saw her," said Chu Yuan with a nod.
At this moment …
Tan Xiu had already seen Chu Yuan, the young man and woman behind him, and the two cart drivers. His eyes swept over the two carts, and his mind recalled the words Long Zhengyu had told him. "Chu Yuan, the successor of Shanghai's Imperial Garden, the owner of the Imperial Brilliant Group, and the founder of Imperial Fortune Venture."
"Perhaps he and Xue Yu are the same kind of people."
Tan Xiu turned his head and glanced at Xue Yu, who was helping to push the cart, and then continued to walk forward without changing his expression. When he passed by Chu Yuan, his eyes glanced at the blood-colored jade pendant hanging on Chu Yuan's waist. Blood Jade was a very precious jade, and any piece of it was a priceless treasure.
At the back.
Xue Yu also saw Chu Yuan. She raised her brows and let go of the cart. She stopped in front of Chu Yuan and softly said, "Greetings to the Young Master of the Imperial Garden."
Chu Yuan let out a faint smile and glanced at the six carts, saying, "Jade Beauty, we haven't seen each other for two years, right? I didn't expect that we would meet again in Star City after the last time we parted in Shanghai. You didn't come here just to gamble on stones, did you? "
"I think you misunderstood, Chu Yuan," said Xue Yu. "I didn't buy these stones. The one in front is Mr. Tang, and I'm helping him."
Mr. Tang?
Chu Yuan looked surprised and followed Xue Yu's eyes. His eyes lingered on Tan Xiu's back for a few times before he asked with a frown, "Who's Mr. Tang?"
Xue Yu pointed to the front and said while walking, "He has profound attainments in the medical field and is also a very interesting person."
Very interesting?
Chu Yuan slightly furrowed his brows and was secretly vigilant. He had a good impression of Xue Yu, and everyone in the Imperial Garden knew about it. Even though even he had never seen Xue Yu's true appearance, he was secretly fascinated by her cold and piercingly cold character that was hidden within her gentle and warm as jade character.
He was a proud man who used his real ability to defeat hundreds of outstanding peers in the Imperial Garden and eventually became the first successor of the Imperial Garden. He had seen countless women, but only Xue Yu could attract him. Now, seeing that Xue Yu was unexpectedly interested in another young man, he couldn't help but be vigilant.
"How about taking me to meet him?"
Chu Yuan asked seemingly casually, but his eyes were completely locked on Xue Yu's eyes. He believed that "eyes are the window to the soul", and he wanted to see more information from her eyes.
Xue Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Tang's character … is very strange. I'm afraid that he will be disgusted if I take you to see him. In fact, I'm also thick-skinned enough to barely be able to follow him. Ah … he said that he doesn't like idlers following him, so I can only help him push the cart. "
Chu Yuan squinted his eyes. He felt that he was interested in this Mr. Tang. Ordinary young men who saw Xue Yu, even if they couldn't see her appearance, could make them drool just by looking at her figure, temperament, and beautiful eyes. But this Mr. Tang … did he want to play hard to get? Or was he really not interested in Xue Yu?
"Where are you going? “
Asked Chu Yuan.
"He rented Master Huang's shed," said Xue Yu.
