Jiang Yao listened attentively. She did not expect Lu Xingzhi to be such a willful person when he was young and full of vigor.
If Lao Wu had not told her, Jiang Yao would never have known that Lu Xingzhi's school days were like this.
Perhaps at that time, he was still a man of few words, but his personality was much more lively than it was now. He still had the temperament of a young man. But now, he was calm and indifferent. Those years of youth had gradually settled into the past of his life.
Jiang Yao felt that it was a pity that she had not been part of his childhood.
While Chen Xuyao was speaking, Lu Xingzhi noticed that Jiang Yao was listening attentively, so he did not interrupt Chen Xuyao. He waited until Chen Xuyao was done speaking and turned to see that Jiang Yao was looking at him in a daze. She was not even paying attention to where they were going, so he reached out and gently pulled her into his arms.
"Watch where you're going. There are many people here." Lu Xingzhi reminded her. "Many people are carrying raw stones. It will hurt if they accidentally drop them on you."
Lao Wu, who was two steps away from them, pursed his lips. Not only would his flesh hurt, but his heart would also hurt. It would be even more painful if one of the stones was broken. Of course, his third brother would definitely feel more sorry for his third sister-in-law.
"Didn't you ask about Uncle Cai's role here today?" Lu Xingzhi pointed at the people who were hurriedly leaving with the raw stones. "Elder Cai is in charge of the stone cutting today. The owner of the Purple Orchid Garden is acquainted with Uncle Cai, so whenever there is an important event, Uncle Cai will be invited here."
Lu Xingzhi pointed at the raw stones on the side. His gaze swept across them, and there was not the slightest fluctuation in his eyes. It was as if those stones were no different from ordinary cement blocks on the roadside in his eyes.
"The raw stones here will be divided into several grades. This event is more interesting. The raw stones will be sold by weight. The number in front of those raw stones is the price of one jin. Once you've chosen one, take it to the front to weigh and pay. If you need it, you can take it to the yard where Uncle Cai is to have the stones cut on the spot." Lu Xingzhi pulled Jiang Yao to the side to avoid a man who was carrying a stone that seemed to weigh 40 to 50 kilograms. "The event has just begun, so there were fewer people when we were at Elder Cai's place. There should be a lot of people there now."
The courtyards that sold raw stones led to one another. After walking for a while, the three of them arrived at the deepest courtyard. The environment here was quieter than the courtyards outside, and there were fewer people.
As for the people walking around in this courtyard, one could tell at a glance that they were either rich or noble.
"This should be the highest grade raw gemstone market, right?" Jiang Yao guessed.
However, what surprised Jiang Yao was that she actually saw an acquaintance here!
"President Huang!" Jiang Yao had a good impression of Huang Seung-jeong, so when she saw Huang Seung-jeong, she took the initiative to greet him.
However, she was wearing thick clothes and wrapped tightly. Her entire body was pink and soft like a junior high school student. Although Huang Seung-jeong heard a familiar voice, he didn't see anyone when he turned around. It was only when he saw Lu Xingzhi that he noticed the little girl in Lu Xingzhi's arms.
