"You want to ask me how I chose that ore, right?" Seeing that Long Run hadn't gotten to the point, Shi Sheng didn't care about the other man's increasingly gloomy face and chose the ore himself. "I just casually picked it. It's probably because my luck was good that such a good one came out."
These people were really boring, beating around the bush just to make things worse.
[… …] Do you think everyone is as straightforward as you, drawing your sword at the slightest disagreement?
Surprise flashed through Long Run's eyes. Her thoughts moved faster than the average person's.
"Since your luck is good, why don't you pick another one for me to see?" Would he believe such nonsense?
Did she think he'd been fooled all these years?
That she could casually pick out an imperial jade?
Shi Sheng raised his brows. "Are you paying?"
Long Run: "… …" Picking his ore and even asking him to pay? What kind of logic was that?
"Since you're not paying, why should I pick one for you to see? You pay for performing, do you want to see me act like a pervert for free? "
"Pfft —" Yu Jiu couldn't hold back his laughter.
Yu Jiu pressed the back of his hand against his lips, his shoulders trembling.
Long Run glared at him. He wasn't taking him seriously at all.
Before he could speak, the girl's scolding voice rang out. "What are you laughing at!"
Yu Jiu coughed. "Is Mr Long done asking? If there are no other questions, we'll take our leave first. "
Long Run: "… …" He hadn't even asked anything.
Yu Jiu didn't give him a chance to speak. He waved at Shi Sheng. "Little Sister Xia, let's go."
Shi Sheng got up and headed for the door.
"Stop right there." Long Run's voice was low, his eyes almost spitting fire.
It had been many years since he'd been this angry.
Yu Jiu frowned and turned around. "Mr Long, I don't care who you want to take into your Long family, but you better not have any ideas about little sister Xia."
"Others are begging to enter my Long family, and you're looking down on them?" Long Run laughed out of anger.
"A fish leaps over the dragon gate, but it's a fish. Even if it leaps over, it's still a fish, not a dragon. Besides … "Yu Jiu glanced at the girl who'd already reached the door." Little Sister Xia isn't a fish. She doesn't need you as a stepping stone. Mr Long, please think twice before you act. "
There was a smile on Yu Jiu's tender face, but his eyes made Long Run apprehensive.
It seemed to be some kind of ferocious action. His eyes were filled with a faint light when he saw his prey.
How old was he …
How could such a gaze appear on a young man?
But when he looked again, the young man was still the same young man. His eyebrows were slightly lowered, blocking the ripples in his eyes.
"I'll take my leave, Mr. Long." He wanted to have ideas about his childhood sweetheart? Dream on.
The veins on the back of Long Run's hand that was gripping his cane were bulging. His body trembled with anger as he watched the two of them leave.
His Long family's door was actually called a pedal.
He originally wanted to see how capable that little girl was. If possible, it was not impossible for her to stay by his side and learn.
However, this silly girl was so arrogant.
This was truly a case of newborn calf not being afraid of tigers!
Unfortunately, in this world, you can't be the only one.
After Shi Sheng and Yu Jiu left, Long Run made a call.
"Check the information of those two brats for me." They didn't dare to go against him like this.
The person on the other end acknowledged. The Long family was efficient and the information was quickly delivered to Long Run.
Yu Jiu wasn't anything special. He was Yu Xingyun's only son and had been abroad for the past few years.
Although the Long family had influence abroad, it wasn't as convenient to investigate as within the country.
The other file was Sheng Xia's.
She was adopted by Gu Yan at the age of ten, but there wasn't a single word about her before she was adopted.
One didn't go abroad, and the other didn't go before she was adopted.
"Investigate. Investigate every single detail." Long Run threw the documents on the ground. "I don't believe that two brats can overturn the heavens."
The person next to him hesitated. "Mr. Long, if we investigate Yu Jiu, Yu Xingyun will definitely know. This …"
The Long and Yu families had overlapping businesses. If Yu Xingyun didn't return, the domestic market would be under the Long family's control.
But if Yu Xingyun returned, the Yu family would take away a portion of the market.
The Yu family's power couldn't be underestimated.
Otherwise, Long Run wouldn't know Gu Yan's name.
It was because he had been close to Yu Xingyun in the past year that his information was known to the Long family.
Otherwise, how could a small real estate company owner like Gu Yan catch Long Run's eye?
… …
"That's why, Uncle, you need to hug Uncle Yu's thigh tightly." Shi Sheng patted Gu Yan's shoulder. "Our jobs are at stake."
Shi Sheng had already told Gu Yan the gist of the matter.
He naturally didn't forget to mention the matter of offending Long Run.
In the plot, Long Run was the female lead's helper in the early stages. But later on, she would discover that he was a selfish and ambitious person.
Later on, they wouldn't turn into enemies, but the female lead wouldn't interact with him anymore. The other members of the Long family kept courting death, and the female lead made them miserable. In the end, she didn't kill them all because Long Run had helped her before.
Would something good come out of someone like him looking for her?
Of course not!
Yu Xingyun laughed at Shi Sheng's joke. "With your Uncle Yu here, the Long family won't dare touch you. I call him Mr. Long because he's an elder. I didn't think he'd have the guts to target Little Xia. Does he think I'm a pushover? "
"Uncle Yu's legs are thick. Uncle Gu, you must hug them properly," Shi Sheng reminded Gu Yan.
"Not only are my legs thick, they're also long. You can hug them," Yu Jiu interjected.
Shi Sheng glanced at Yu Jiu's long legs. They were smooth and slender.
"Xiaoxia-meimei, do you want to consider it?" They're enough for you to play with for the rest of your life.
"The two of us old men will be leaving first. Little Jiu, here's the key. Take Little Xia home." Gu Yan very perceptively took out the key and handed it to Yu Jiu.
"Thank you, Uncle Gu."
"Hey, help me take care of Little Xia."
Shi Sheng: "…" A shady deal.
Gu Yan and Yu Xingyun left shoulder to shoulder, leaving only Shi Sheng and Yu Jiu.
Yu Jiu waved the key. "Xiaoxia-meimei, are you going home?"
Go home your uncle.
Shi Sheng waited outside the venue for a while. Yu Jiu didn't know what she was waiting for. About half an hour later, she turned and headed for a public phone booth.
When she got to the phone, Shi Sheng suddenly turned around. "Do you have a coin?"
Yu Jiu shook his head. How could he have such a thing?
"Stand here and wait for me." Yu Jiu rubbed her head, then ran toward a shop in the distance.
Shi Sheng watched his back with furrowed brows.
He inwardly made up his mind to speed things up a bit.
Yu Jiu soon returned and handed her a few coins.
Shi Sheng inserted the coins and swiftly pressed the button.
Yu Jiu: "…"
What was his little green plum doing?
Shi Sheng told the police that someone was about to rob them with a gun. After giving them the location, he hung up.
The situation in the country had been very tense recently. Even if it was a false alarm, the police would still send people over.
"Xiaoxia-meimei, you're very naughty." Yu Jiu propped himself up against the phone booth, trapping Shi Sheng inside as he looked down at her.
"But I like it."
Shi Sheng raised his leg to kick him. This idiot.
"Xiaoxia-meimei, you're so violent. If you can't get married in the future, you'll have to marry me."
"Scram!"
"Can I roll on the bed?"
"…"
