Meng Yan, on the other hand, had questions after understanding what happened.
"The Jia family is not the Wang family. How can Jia Baiyuan, Wang Lijun, be so humble to him, Meng Yan?" Meng Yan felt a little confused.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
Too much talk leads to mistakes, so Jia Baiyuan stopped talking, poured a cup of tea for Meng Yan, and changed the subject.
"He is thoughtful and has the same demeanor as your father."
"Father?"
Hearing Jia Baiyuan talk about his father again, Meng Yan's hand that took the tea cup shook suddenly, and a few drops of tea spilled out.
Jia Baiyuan, on the other hand, seemed not to notice Meng Yan's reaction and continued to drink tea by himself.
"By the way, Meng Yan, about the mission I gave you..."
"Gudu."
Hearing Jia Baiyuan's words, Meng Yan swallowed the tea in his hand.
"We need to mobilize troops to hold him accountable," Meng Yan thought to himself.
"Uncle Jia, I'm sorry." Meng Yan said awkwardly.
"About the mission you gave me, I..."
"Boy, you misunderstood." Jia Baiyuan said to Meng Yan with his hands behind his back.
"Boy, you did a good job. With your abilities, you shouldn't be stuck in this small lake city. You should be focused on all directions. Some things should be discontinued."
"Although I am a little dissatisfied that you used the money I bought you to buy jade for your ex-wife. You made decisions without my consent, but the matter with the Zhu family has finally come to an end."
Jia Baiyuan pretended to be tolerant and generous, and treated Meng Yan with kindness and power.
But Jia Baiyuan also knew in his heart that if what Meng Yan was going to do next was messed up because the Zhu family came again to cause trouble and diverted his energy, then he, Jia Baiyuan, would be the biggest loser.
"That mission itself is just to test whether your ability is reliable or not."
"In my opinion, you are qualified."
Jia Baiyuan nodded, as if he agreed.
"Um?"
"I saw your entire performance yesterday." Jia Baiyuan patted Meng Yan on the shoulder, signaling to listen to him.
"It's full of eggplant purple and weighs twenty pounds. You can see it without even turning on the light."
"In the eyes of outsiders, this is like a fairy."
"There is no doubt that this is the ancestral secret skill of the Meng family. I have seen your grandfather use it before."
"If I send you back to the Zhu family with this kind of ability, where can I find it?" Jia Baiyuan joked.
Hearing this, Meng Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master Jia, lunch is almost ready, the appetizers are on the table, you can take your seats." A servant suddenly walked through the corridor to the living room, bowed to Jia Baiyuan and said.
"Okay, I understand, go down and continue preparations." Jia Baiyuan dismissed the servant with a wave of his hand, turned his head and pulled up Meng Yan from the sofa.
"Let's go! Meng Yan, I'm treating you! Today you and my uncle and nephew will have a good talk and have a good drink!"
After that, without waiting for Meng Yan to react, he dragged him towards the banquet table...
During the banquet, after a few drinks, both of them became a little tipsy.
"Meng Yan, let me tell you the next thing over dinner." Jia Baiyuan's face turned slightly red. He drank too much and stopped beating around the bush.
"
When Meng Yan heard this, he put down his chopsticks calmly and listened to Jia Baiyuan's words.
"You must have heard about this matter." Jia Baiyuan shook the liquor glass in his hand, then put it down again.
"The Jade Treasure Hall will hold a gambling stone auction in a few days. You were taken out of the auction because of this matter, and you failed to complete my mission."
When he said "the task was not completed", Meng Yan felt that Jia Baiyuan had emphasized his tone intentionally or unintentionally.
"But in fact, most of the stone gambling auctions held by Yubao Hall in various places are just a formality and not so strict."
"This time the venue was cleared three days in advance and before five o'clock, because some important figures from the Wang family were coming from Kyoto to Lake City to watch the gambling stone auction here. They were all nervous."
"Huh?" When Meng Yan heard this, a trace of doubt flashed in his mind.
The Wang family is one of the four major families in the jade world. The Wang family in Kyoto are all immortals and big shots in the sky. Why do they come to their little lake city?
Meng Yan naturally expressed his doubts to him, Jia Baiyuan.
"This is an internal matter within the Wang family. I don't know the details." Jia Baiyuan shook his head.
"I just heard that the eldest son of the Wang family returned to Kyoto from other places a few days ago, and then the Wang family made a temporary decision to send someone to Lake City to host their own stone gambling auction."
Jia Baiyuan thought for a while and continued to add: "I also got the rumor from them, saying that there might be a stone gambling genius in Lake City. I think they came here for this stone gambling genius and wanted to hook him.
.”
"As for the result." Jia Baiyuan lay down on the chair and looked at Meng Yan with a contented expression.
"I didn't find the stone gambling genius they said, but I accidentally discovered you, Meng Yan, and you're considered famous."
Meng Yan didn't express anything when he heard this. He lowered his head and took two mouthfuls of rice from the bowl.
There is nothing to say, Jia Baiyuan got him out of the Zhu family, and he also owed him a favor for the Yubaotang matter.
Now, Meng Yan can only agree to whatever conditions he puts forward.
Otherwise, if he could get Meng Yan out of the Zhu family with just one word, he could also throw him back again.
He, Meng Yan, had no room for bargaining.
Seeing that Meng Yan didn't say anything, Jia Baiyuan continued.
"This time the Wang family's family will be coming to the gambling stone auction in Lake City, so if you get involved, the other four families will also send people over."
"We, the four major families in the jade world, you, Meng Yan, should understand that it is not as harmonious as the outside world says, but it is just..."
Jia Baiyuan squinted his eyes slightly, seeming to be thinking about something.
"After that incident that was considered a disaster for the entire Xia Kingdom, a delicate relationship of checks and balances has been maintained."
When Meng Yan heard this, he couldn't help but be startled and a little curious.
"Disaster, what disaster?"
Jia Baiyuan shook his head: "It's okay not to mention it. When the time comes, you, Meng Yan, will naturally know about it."
Meng Yan felt a little regretful that this man was the Riddler again.
