579 The old man is just used to keeping a low profile
“Young man, don’t be surprised, and don’t blame this old man for secretly investigating you. It was because of my identity that I had no choice but to do so. I only dared to meet you after I’ve confirmed your identities. You should know that the four big families of Jin Jing are very powerful in S Empire. “But this old man isn’t afraid of their wealth and power at all. This old man just doesn’t want to get involved in the fights here. Otherwise, what would the four great families have to do with it? I’m just used to keeping a low profile, so I don’t want to be high-profile. That’s why I don’t want to fight with the four great families for those empty titles.”
...Wen Muchu’s eyes were deep as he pulled Lan Xiao to sit down.
He didn’t say anything, and the surroundings fell silent in an instant.
His eyes were sharp as he looked at Fang Yugu.
He hadn’t expected that Fang Yugu would have already found out his identity, and even more unexpected was that he would reveal it without any hesitation.
This old man’s style of doing things really made people scratch their heads for a moment.
Moreover, from his tone, it was clear that he regarded the four great families as a junior. In his eyes, they were not worth mentioning at all.
If others were to hear this, they would probably scoff and mock Fang Yugu for joking and bragging.
No matter how rich Fang Yugu was, compared to the four great clans, he was still somewhat aware.
It could be said that the economic lifeline of the S Empire was almost in the hands of the four major families. Although Fang Yugu was the Jade King and had countless assets under his name, this was only a competition of wealth.
When it came to national affairs, Fang Yugu’s Jade business was obviously not as influential as the four big families in S Empire.
However, the Jade King never bragged.
“There’s nothing wrong with elder Fang’s cautiousness. I just don’t know why elder Fang has come to visit me so late at night. Is it just to see Lan Xiao?” Wen Muchu simply made things clear and didn’t beat around the bush. He spoke directly.
Fang Yugu’s eyes were deep and serene as he stared at Wen Muchu for a moment before he raised his head and laughed out loud.
“You’re direct, but this old man really likes such direct young people.”
Wen Muchu’s lips curved into a smile, but he didn’t reply. Instead, he waited for his reply.
Lan Xiao, on the other hand, sat quietly beside Wen Muchu the entire time. His lips were slightly curved, and he faced Fang Yugu with a strong and calm smile.
Fang Yugu’s eyes scanned Wen Muchu’s body a few times before slowly landing on Lan Xiao.
“I don’t know if you’ve heard about it, but I made a bet with elder su. He went to Myanmar a while ago and spent 100 million to win a stone gambling bid. At that time, during the auction, I reminded him that there was a problem with the stone gambling. Even though the skylight was scratched, and there was even Jade, the Imperial Grade Jade. However, I’m certain that this layer of green is just an outer layer, while the inner part is completely white.”
“At that time, elder su didn’t believe it. He thought I was bluffing him. He also felt that I told him to give up on the auction because I wanted to buy the highest bidder at a low price. “Of course I wasn’t convinced. When I saw elder su bid for that gambling stone, I made a bet with him that this gambling stone would definitely be a useless stone. “Elder su might have thought that I was trying to anger him, so he accepted the bet. This time, I came here for this bet but I didn’t expect that after just two days, I would hear the little girl’s legendary story of appraising stones.”
A trace of surprise flashed through Lan Xiao’s eyes. She had heard about this from LAN xingbo a few months ago.
At that time, she didn’t take it to heart. She only thought that elder su was really rich and casually spent 100 million to buy a stone.
He also didn’t expect that elder su had the ability to invite Jade King to gamble with him.
In the beginning, the news had spread all over Ling city’s stone gambling circle. Everyone was talking about it and it was extremely lively.
However, for some unknown reason, this news gradually died down.
In the end, there was no more splash.
Lan Xiao thought that the bet had been canceled.
For this, she had felt that it was a pity.
He didn’t expect that the Jade King really came to Ling city.
Moreover, he had come so quietly.
However, she felt very strange. Who on earth had revealed her secret to Fang Yugu?
Lan Xiao narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile, ” “Elder Fang, I wonder who told you about me? You’ve seen it for yourself. I’m so young, but I’m gambling on stones. I’m purely trying my luck and choosing the stones based on my feelings. As for the skills, I really don’t have any. I hope Mr. Fang won’t laugh at me. ”
Fang Yugu’s eyes narrowed as he smiled, his face full of wrinkles.
“Little girl, you’re too modest. Although she’s elder SU’s granddaughter, she mentioned you to me at the beginning, and I sent someone to investigate after that. I’ve watched the surveillance videos of your appraisal of the stones and the antiques. I don’t believe that you’re lucky. If everyone has your luck, then wouldn’t my position as the king of Jade be pushed down?”
Lan Xiao’s eyes flashed with a dark light as she turned to look at Wen Muchu.
Su yingxue? He Yingluo hadn’t seen her for a long time. She had thought that she was completely content with her place and wouldn’t go against her anymore. She didn’t expect that she was avoiding the sharp edge and choosing to hide her strength and bide her time.
Look, this Jade King had just arrived, and she had already given herself such a high hat.
Lan Xiao really didn’t know how su yingxue had praised her in front of Fang Yugu to make the Jade King put down his pride and be so eager to see her and understand the inside story.
Really, after being quiet for a period of time, was he going to stir up trouble again now?
Lan Xiao gritted her teeth. Damn it, she was very unhappy. Sooner or later, she would show su yingxue what she was capable of.
Su yingxue had deliberately praised herself so highly to make others jealous and hate her.
It might not be a good thing for the family to be recognized by Fang Yugu in such a high-profile way.
elder Fang, I’d like to ask, what exactly did miss su say to you that could make you so excited that you’re willing to put down your status to come and meet me? ” Lan Xiao pursed his lips and smiled with a gentle and harmless expression.
“Oh, Yingluo, that little girl said that there’s a genius in stone gambling in Ling city now. He cut out high-level Jade several times and has a pair of eyes that can identify the things in the stones. “The most amazing thing is that he can tell the type of Jade in stone gambling with just a glance.” Fang Yugu’s eyes flickered with excitement as he stared at the blue crystal.
Lan Xiao’s face was filled with black lines and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Su yingxue’s sister-in-law didn’t just put her on a pedestal, but also deified her.
It was as if she wasn’t a mortal, but someone who had clairvoyance and could see through all the miasma in the world.
