Chapter 248: Chapter 0248: Gambing on Stones (Part 1)

Ill-intentioned visitors, the woman clad in a short skirt was none other than Zheng Tuo’s daughter, Zheng Lili.

In the wake of the commotion at the company, Chu Feng completely ousted Zheng Tuo from Lin’s Group.

Furthermore, he had even caused Zheng Tuo to divorce his wife.

Overnight, Zheng Lili saw her father lose his job and her mother leave, plummeting from heaven to earth.

How could she not hate the Lin sisters upon seeing Lin Yingying and Lin Shanshan?

Clutching Young Master Mu’s arm, Zheng Lili cooed in a petulant voice, "Big Brother Mu, you must stand up for me today! These two women have ruined my family."

Upon glancing at the Lin sisters, Young Master Mu was struck by their stunning beauty.

In Binhai City, he had never seen such beautiful women before.

Far from taking their side, he extended his hand in a very polite manner towards Lin Yingying and Lin Shanshan, "Ladies, my name is Mu Tianyou, and I am the manager of this jade store. May I ask for your names? What is this misunderstanding with Lili about?"

Enraged, Zheng Lili glared fiercely. Just by looking at Mu Tianyou’s gaze, she knew exactly what he was thinking.

She had met Mu Tianyou through her cousin Lin Jiahui’s introduction.

Mu Tianyou had also studied in America and had only recently returned to China to look after the family business.

He had known Lin Jiahao while in America, and once Lin Jiahui returned, they often hung out together.

To him, Zheng Lili was just an ordinary friend, merely a hookup at most in his mind.

Lin Yingying positioned herself in front of her sister without shaking his hand.

She merely spoke indifferently, "Please control your woman and prevent her from causing such a scene in front of so many people, like some shrew."

Mu Tianyou awkwardly withdrew his hand, surprised at the imposing manner of Lin Yingying.

At that moment, Long Fei approached, stepping in front of Lin Yingying.

With his large and imposing build, he towered over even Mu Tianyou.

He inquired of Lin Yingying, "What’s going on?"

Lin Shanshan, clinging to his arm, pointed at Zheng Lili and exclaimed, "Brother-in-law, that crazy woman is cursing at us!"

Lin Shanshan couldn’t stand a day without stirring trouble, and now Zheng Lili had conveniently presented herself.

Long Fei frowned upon seeing it was Zheng Lili.

When Zheng Lili saw Long Fei, she felt a flicker of fear.

That bastard, in a fit of rage, would even strike her father.

Lin Shanshan had insulted her, and though Zheng Lili was seething, she dared not retort but instead whispered a plea into Mu Tianyou’s ear, "Big Brother Mu, you must stand up for me!"

"Don’t worry!"

Mu Tianyou nodded his head, already feeling irked.

Suddenly seeing Long Fei step forward made him feel as if someone had plucked the flowers he desired.

He prided himself on being a cultured man and, besides, it wasn’t good to resort to brute force in his own shop.

So, he deliberately asked Long Fei, "Brother, are you here to gamble on stones?"

Long Fei nodded.

Mu Tianyou then said, "Have you seen any that caught your eye?"

"Just arrived, haven’t looked properly yet!"

Long Fei replied politely, echoing Mu Tianyou’s courteous tone.

Seeing Long Fei take the bait, Mu Tianyou chuckled lightly, "Meeting each other is fate, and today I am in a good mood. Why don’t we play a game to relax a bit?"

"What do you want to play?"

Long Fei, detecting the unfriendly undercurrent, tensed his brows slightly.

"We could make a bet," Mu Tianyou suggested, "each of us will choose one raw stone from the Lower Quality Area, Middle-Grade Area, and High-Grade Area, best two out of three rounds. If you win, I’ll let you take these three seed materials for free. If I win, you’ll let the two beauties behind you join me for a drink."

The people around chuckled upon hearing this, not expecting such a lively spectacle today.

At that moment, Sixth Master Tan and his four companions approached, disapprovingly said to Mu Tianyou, "Aren’t you bullying someone? My brother here just arrived today, and he can’t even distinguish between jade and serpentine, how is he supposed to gamble with you?"

Mu Tianyou replied with a light laugh, "If you’re afraid to bet, that’s fine too. Just apologize to my girlfriend, and I won’t say another word about it today!"

He wrapped his arm around Zheng Lili’s shoulder, making her heart blossom with joy, and she reciprocated by draping her arm around him, too.

She taunted Long Fei with sneering laughter, "Big Brother Mu, you are giving that bumpkin too much credit. He was just a security guard at the company; what does he know about jade!"

"So, you’re a security guard!"

Young Master Mu burst into laughter, as if he had discovered something amusing.

A mere security guard managed to charm two such exquisite beauties.

In terms of temperament, Zheng Lili didn’t even have half of what they offered.

Lin Shanshan pouted and said, "What’s wrong with being a security guard, my brother-in-law is a hundred times better than you. It’s just betting on stones, right? He’ll definitely make you wet your pants!"

The girl was excited inside, the situation was already big, but she just added fuel to the fire.

"Yeah, I believe in my man. It’s just betting on stones, right? I’ll decide for him, we’ll take you on."

Lin Yingying rarely agreed with her little sister.

She saw that Young Master Mu and Zheng Lili were also displeased and wanted Long Fei to teach them a lesson.

"Damn, quite the tough mouth!"

Young Master Mu cursed silently, resolving to make these two women call him ’daddy’ when he had the chance.

Long Fei had come prepared to spend a lot today, but who would have expected some bumpkin wanting to gamble on stones with him.

Taking the opportunity, he added more fuel to the fire, "Young Master Mu, I can take you on. But gambling on three measly stones is too boring, let’s raise the stakes!"

Young Master Mu asked with a cold frown, "What do you want to bet?"

Long Fei replied, "If you win, I’ll add ten million to your prize. If I win, I get to take away ten more stones from your selection here!"

"Ten million?"

"Geez, this kid really talks big, doesn’t he?"

"He’s crazy, ten million could buy ten rough gems!"

"Some rookie dares to be so reckless? He must really be itching to spend his cash!"

The crowd of onlookers was abuzz with incredulous murmurs, eyeing Long Fei as if he was some country bumpkin.

Ma Kui ran an underground gambling den, had seen big money before, but he had never seen anyone bet ten million in one go.

He advised Long Fei, "Brother Long, why don’t you think it over again? After all, we aren’t as familiar with this line of business as they are!"

Sixth Master Tan followed, "Indeed, Brother Long. Don’t act on impulse, these people have been raised on this trade since they were kids."

Shun Ganzi and Golden-eyed Leopard were of the same opinion, professionals in different fields are like worlds apart.

Among them, only Sixth Master Tan knew a little about stone gambling.

Long Fei smiled lightly, "Don’t worry, brothers, I have my own way of handling this!"

With that statement, he gave significant face to the four elders.

Referring to them as ’brothers’ and ’elders.’

In the eyes of the underworld, this was a great honor.

Sixth Master Tan couldn’t help but say, "Alright, I’m all in then, brother. I’ll give you some good advice later!"

Young Master Mu was thrilled inside, originally intending to play a small bet, but he hooked a big fish instead.

The Mu Family had been in the stone gambling business for two or three hundred years, and he had grown up among piles of gambling stones.

He had never misjudged an item he was sure of.

And now, this kid was challenging him, betting on something he excelled at.

Young Master Mu laughed proudly, "Fine, I accept your bet. But while I have the rough stones, do you have ten million?"

Zheng Lili joined in, "Yeah, how would a stinky security guard have ten million?"

Lin Yingying coldly said, "Ten million is nothing, our Lin’s Group has plenty of money. If we lose the bet, just come directly to my company to collect!"

"Lin’s Group?"

Young Master Mu furrowed his brow and glanced at Zheng Lili.

Reluctantly, Zheng Lili whispered an introduction in his ear, "She is the president of Lin’s Group, Lin Yingying!"

Young Master Mu’s eyes lit up, staring at Lin Yingying, he liked her even more.

Damn, this woman was just the kind he dreamed of.

Not only was she beautiful, but she was also a female president!
