Chapter 788: Seven hundred and eighty-three system inexplicably prompts

By the time Gu Chen returned that day, it was already dark.

He and Old Yuan had agreed to visit the site in three days to take a look around.

To see what kinds of jade jewelry were available on the market.

According to Old Yuan, the black market in Su City was very hot, but the area was not mainly focused on the jewelry industry.

However, the majority of items were indeed jade and gemstones.

The reason it was called the black market was that several national shock events had occurred there in the past few years.

For example, there had once been a jade stone gamble that produced a stone valued at over a hundred million.

At the same time, many precious and famous pieces of jewelry all came from there.

Gradually, the place became even more notorious, and every year around this time, many people would go there, eager to experience the thrill of stone gambling.

Year after year, day after day, the gambling on stones became thoroughly entrenched there.

Every year, it was common to see people committing suicide and others so excited that they couldn’t sleep.

Old Yuan hadn’t been on the black market for very long, but he had made some friends.

Gu Chen, on the other hand, wasn’t very familiar with these things. Even in his previous life, he hadn’t come into contact with them.

He had only heard from the television that some people went bankrupt because of stone gambling.

And there were also those anti-fraud guidelines on TV that mentioned there were many tricks involved in this business.

So, to Gu Chen, this so-called stone gambling was not much different from gambling, and he had never been interested in it.

If it weren’t for starting a jewelry company with Old Yuan, he probably would never have taken the initiative to learn about it.

After Gu Chen prepared dinner, Ji Pianran and Tangtang returned home.

Today, Ji Pianran came back looking even more listless than yesterday, her condition seemed to have worsened slightly.

Seeing her like this, Gu Chen started to worry if she was really sick.

Otherwise, why would her spirit seem so drained, as if she were not herself anymore?

At this point, Gu Chen was also concerned and followed Ji Pianran back to her room.

He saw Ji Pianran lie down on the bed as soon as she entered the room, sprawling on her side, as if ready to rest.

Gu Chen, upon seeing this, bit his tongue, wanting to speak. But seeing that she was about to sleep, how could he go forward and disturb her?

With no other option, Gu Chen exited the room.

Back in the living room, Tangtang was sitting there doing her homework.

The little whelp was squatting beside her.

The two of them seemed very harmonious, as if the little whelp no longer objected to Tangtang’s presence.

"Tangtang, do you know what’s wrong with Mom?" Gu Chen asked Tangtang, driven by curiosity.

After hearing this, Tangtang looked up somewhat blankly.

"What’s wrong with Mom? Isn’t Mom fine? Why are you asking this, Dad?"

Tangtang seemed completely unaware. On the contrary, this little one hadn’t noticed anything unusual.

This left Gu Chen unsure how to continue the conversation.

"It’s nothing, Dad was just asking. Keep working on your homework."

Gu Chen didn’t continue the topic.

At this point, Gu Chen could only keep his concerns in mind for the time being.

He planned to go to the company tomorrow and take a look if need be.

To find out what exactly was happening.

Otherwise, why would Ji Pianran come back home looking so dejected every day?

Given Ji Pianran’s personality, even if things were terrible, it wouldn’t be possible for her to turn out like this.

There must be something that had happened and was stuck inside Ji Pianran’s heart.

That’s why Gu Chen was very worried inside.

He feared that if Ji Pianran continued like this, her health would get worse and worse.

By then, her whole being would be completely ruined; the body is the real capital, and there is nothing more important than health.

At this moment, Gu Chen couldn’t say much more and thought to continue cooking here.

He made an entire pot of rice and then had Tangtang go call Ji Pianran to come eat.

As Gu Chen expected, Ji Pianran did not come out.

Gu Chen sighed helplessly; under such circumstances, only he and Tangtang ate.

Tangtang seemed uninterested in anything else, as if her mind was completely focused on the piece of braised pork in front of her.

Seeing the girl’s silly, hapless appearance, Gu Chen thought to himself that fools might indeed have their own kind of happiness.

"Daughter, have you thought about when you might want to go out and play recently?"

At this moment, Gu Chen suddenly asked Tangtang this question.

Tangtang was stunned when she heard Gu Chen’s question.

It seemed that she had never expected Gu Chen to suddenly bring up the matter of going out to play.

"Dad, doesn’t that depend on when you and mom have time?"

She asked Gu Chen, unable to understand. The idea of going out to play had already been on her mind for a long time.

But she had never had a way to bring it up and could only wait for both Gu Chen and Ji Pianran to be free at the same time before she could have the opportunity to go out and have fun.

So, she had never mentioned this to Gu Chen before.

"Dad has been quite free recently. I just don’t know about your mom. Tomorrow, talk to your mom and see what her mood is like, then secretly tell Dad, okay?"

Gu Chen said to Tangtang at this time.

Tangtang became excited at the prospect of going out to play soon.

"Okay, dad, don’t worry. I’ll talk to mom about this," Tangtang promptly nodded and agreed.

But hearing her response, Gu Chen quickly added,

"It’s not what dad said. I want you to ask mom if she feels like going out to play recently.

If mom says no, then ask her why and come back to tell dad. Then dad will talk to mom, understand?"

Gu Chen felt he needed to reiterate his request.

Tangtang obviously did not understand why Gu Chen made this so complicated.

However, in the end, Tangtang nodded and agreed.

Seeing her serious demeanor, Gu Chen was thoroughly reassured.

Having Tangtang ask might be a bit troublesome, but it could also have some unexpected effects.

If he were to ask himself, things might not go as smoothly.

After the meal, Tangtang went back.

This was when Gu Chen washed the dishes, cleaned the utensils, and played with the dog for a bit.

He found that the dog was quite cute when it wasn’t fighting.

If it could stop squabbling with that wolf pup, life at home might actually be quite interesting.

"System notification: Host has earned one point."

Just then, the system notification suddenly popped into Gu Chen’s mind.

Gu Chen was taken aback when he heard it.

The system was giving a notification now, but what was the reason?
