Chapter 23 Stone Gambling Conference
But Ming Yin never told him her name, so how did he know it?
Her expression turned cold, "No need."
Gu Chen didn't show any annoyance at being rejected, and still had a spring-like smile on his face.
"I only learned Miss Ming's name after listening to people chatting in the community and saying that a young mother and daughter moved into 803."
He stretched out his hand, ready to touch Fanfan's head.
Ming Yin pulled Fanfan behind her and stared at Gu Chen with an unkind expression.
Gu Chen took back his hand and said, "Don't be so nervous. I don't mean any harm."
Just as the elevator arrived, Ming Yin led Fanfan past Gu Chen and walked into the elevator.
He didn't notice the sinister flash in his eyes.
In the elevator, Ming Yin warned: "If you see that man in the future, you must stay away, you know?"
Fanfan nodded obediently, but his eyes were full of confusion.
"I see that my brother is very easy to get along with, so why are you so guarded against him?"
After all, I'm still young and don't understand the complexity of people.
Ming Yin explained patiently, "You can't just look at people by their appearance. For example, on TV, there are many people who look like good people, but in the end their identities are exposed and their hands are stained with countless blood."
Fanfan seemed to understand, "I understand, that brother is a murderer!"
A little smile fell into Ming Yin's eyes, "When there is no absolute evidence, you can't judge a person based on your own feelings. Even if you have doubts, you can't speak out. Instead, you have to collect evidence and confirm your guesses bit by bit.
.”
Fanfan was thoughtful, but he didn't understand until he walked into the house.
"So now we suspect that the brother next door is a bad guy, do we need to collect evidence to report him and hand it over to the police?"
Ming Yin didn't say it was right, nor did she say it was wrong.
She can only guide Fanfan on some things, and he has to rely on himself on how to do it.
The moon sets and the sun rises, and a new day begins again.
Because he knew he was going to play, Fanfan couldn't help but get excited and got up early in the morning to pack up.
When Ming Yin got up, all the things she needed to bring for the trip were ready.
"We are not traveling far, so we don't need to bring so many things."
However, Ming Yin did not hit Fanfan, she rubbed his head and praised: "Fanfan is great."
They went to Taihexuan first, and then went to the Xiao family's stone gambling meeting with Mr. Feng.
The address is on a street in the west of the city. The shops on this street sell antiques and jade jewelry. There is a large square at the end of the street, which is used as a place for gambling stones.
These shops are owned by the Xiao family. People who come to participate in the Stone Gambling Convention will inevitably buy some other things.
Fanfan held on to Ming Yin tightly, his eyes shining with desire, revealing his innermost feelings.
Mr. Feng stretched out his hand to him and said, "Let's go, grandpa will take you shopping."
Normally, Ming Yin would have handed over Fanfan to Mr. Feng without hesitation. Ever since she knew there was a traitor, she had become somewhat suspicious of everyone.
After hesitating for a moment, she let go and said, "Go ahead."
Ming Yin didn't stop at the shops on both sides of the street and went straight to the square.
The people sent by the Xiao family to maintain order distributed pamphlets to everyone entering the square, which introduced the rules of the stone gambling competition.
First of all, the Xiao family guarantees that every gambling stone is newly mined and transported from pure natural resources. There is no guarantee that every gambling stone can produce jade.
The prices of gambling stones in each area are different, but each person is limited to purchasing three pieces. The Xiao family has a master who specializes in cutting gambling stones. Of course, you can also choose to take them back and cut them yourself.
At the same time, in order to make this stone gambling conference more interesting, those who choose to gamble on the spot can participate in the ranking, and the top three in value will receive small gifts from the Xiao family.
As a large ore owner, the Xiao family's so-called small gifts are definitely of high value, so most people attending the stone gambling conference are willing to gamble on stones on the spot, and this is also an excellent opportunity to become famous.
Ming Yin also saw an acquaintance in the square.
Mingmiao was walking in the square, picking up a gambling stone from time to time to inspect it for a while and then putting it down. Her brows were sometimes slightly frowned and sometimes relaxed, as if she was carefully choosing the gambling stone.
Only Ming Yin knew that she was just a layman, pretending to be here.
There was a boy beside her, followed by several people wearing Xiao family uniforms, holding a pile of gambling stones in their arms, all of which Mingmiao had picked up and looked at.
"Miaomiao, you don't need to participate in the ranking competition at all. If you want a gift, I can just give it to you."
Obviously, he is Xiao Chengxuan, the current prince of the Xiao family.
Mingmiao ignored him at all and lowered her head to choose gambling stones.
Xiao Chengxuan was unwilling to go on and said: "Miaomiao, I can ask the experienced stone gambling master of the Xiao family to help you choose, and I will ensure that you win the first place."
Mingmiao finally stopped what she was doing, "Xiao Chengxuan, I said I don't like you, please stop pestering me."
As a famous and talented woman, she has countless suitors around her, and Xiao Chengxuan is also one of them.
If she had been willing to hang him before, after all, the power of the Xiao family was not small, but since she met Mr. Xingshan, her heart had completely sunk, and she was bound to make him her subordinate.
Xiao Chengxuan still did not give up, "Miaomiao, I will keep pursuing you until you promise me."
He believes that long-term persistence will surely move Ming Miao's heart.
Ming Miao was impatient and was about to walk away when she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of her eye and her eyes lit up.
"I finally met my sister. After the last quarrel, my parents couldn't get in touch with my sister. After all, we are all a family. How can families have an overnight feud."
Ming Yin raised her eyes, glanced at the person in front of her, and lightly opened her red lips, "What kind of family do you think you are?"
Not to mention that the two of them are not related by blood, how shameful is it for someone who is always trying to push her and still wants her to be a family member?
Upon hearing this, Ming Miao's face instantly turned pale, her eyes filled with mist, and she looked at Ming Yin sadly.
"I know my sister blames me for occupying my parents' love all these years, but after you come back, we will try our best to satisfy you with whatever you want. Do you have to leave the Ming family before you are willing to go home?"
Before Ming Yin could speak, Xiao Chengxuan, who was following, could no longer listen and protected himself in front of Ming Miao.
"A person like you is not worthy of being Miaomiao's sister!"
He turned around and whispered to Mingmiao: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Ming Yin sneered, knowing that this was Ming Miao's usual method of showing her weak side and arousing the protective desire of others. She kept talking about her family, but instigated others to point their swords at her so-called family.
At this time, Fanfan ran toward Ming Yin with a jade pendant in his hand, "Sister, look, this is the jade pendant that Grandpa Feng bought for me. He said it can keep you safe, so I gave it to you."
