For the next two days, Xunmi stayed at Xunjia's raw material market, constantly practicing the knowledge in his mind.
With the baby as a cheating tool, it's practically a guaranteed win every time.
She can identify some high-grade raw materials herself, but the quality and color may not be very good.
Tomorrow is the jade gambling convention, and Xunmi dragged his tired body home.
She decided to get a good rest tonight and make sure she gets enough sleep so she'll be energetic tomorrow.
"Qearl is back! Let Daddy see if she's lost weight."
As soon as Xunmi's father saw her, he pulled her aside and kept checking her over.
When he came back a couple of days ago, he was almost scared to death by what his precious daughter said.
The Le family, who have been on good terms with us for so many years, actually had such a scheme.
He said, "How could such a big thing happen at this time?"
Are they really taking advantage of them because they have no one to turn to? Look how outstanding his daughter is.
He brought Boss Mo back with him the moment he got back. What is Le Chenxi? What is the Le family? Hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮
The search for her father is entirely about the idea that only my daughter can dump you, not the other way around.
Even if you don't want my daughter, it's because my daughter doesn't like your child-obsessed attitude.
This time, Le Chenxi really angered him. If his daughter hadn't been away from home, their Le family business would have been affected again.
He no longer cares about the rumors outside. Well, it turns out that my daughter still doesn't like your Le family boy.
"Dad, you're exaggerating. How could you possibly lose weight in just two days?"
Xunmi helped her father sit down and replied with a laugh.
My dad is a worrier, but he's also incredibly adorable.
"Qearl, just do your best with tomorrow's jade gambling."
"We can afford to lose if we search for our home. Don't force yourself, okay?"
It doesn't matter if they fall to the level of a second-rate family, as long as they are all well.
"Dad, you have to believe me, what I've learned over the years isn't all shoddy stuff."
"I also want to give this crown as a silver wedding anniversary gift to you and Mom. Oh, right, Mom said she would come back to watch my competition, right?"
When she returned, her mother was on a trip with Le Chenxi's mother.
Little did they know that after only two days of playing together, news came that the two families had fallen out.
This made them both very embarrassed, and they both made the excuse that they had different destinations and parted ways.
"Yes, your mother will arrive tomorrow morning." The father's face softened with tenderness when he talked about the mother.
Xunmi chuckled to herself, thinking that by the time her mother returned, she probably wouldn't see her father like this again.
Because she'll be bossed around by her mother, who's an absolute queen at home, while her father will become a chatterbox and complainer.
"Then Dad, you should go and rest. You have to pick up Mom in the morning."
Xunmi pushed her father upstairs, then turned around and went to the studio to check the supplies needed for tomorrow.
The jade gambling convention was held in the largest jade gambling market, and the huge hall was divided into four areas.
Raw materials, semi-raw materials, cutting stones, auctions and valuations.
In the very center there is a platform about a hundred meters long and one meter high, which is specifically used for competitions.
Xunmi arrived early with his team to prepare; today they were not only going to gamble on stones, but also to sell them.
Most people in the jade industry have some collections, whether they are raw materials or finished products that have already been cut.
Making a purchase on the day of the jade gambling convention is always the most opportune time.
Why, you ask? Well, there are just a lot of suckers out there.
On this day, merchants from all walks of life gathered, including the wealthy and influential. It was a triennial jade gambling extravaganza, and everyone wanted to join in the fun.
Maybe we can actually get a good deal. Even if we don't get anything, there are still so many people of high status around.
Getting to know one or two of them is not a loss.
Having found the area where he was looking for a home and arranged the raw materials he had brought, Xunmi then handed the place over to his father's secretary.
I went up to the third floor, where people were already waiting.
"Good morning, Han-ge! Have you had breakfast yet?"
Searching and knocking on the door, they went inside and found that there were more than just Mo Wenhan and Guan Xiao there.
There are also the Xie family, the Le family, and the Lu family, and then with her, these major jade families are complete.
"I've eaten. I've prepared your favorite food. Come and eat."
Mo Wenhan waved to Xunmi, forcing a smile onto her face.
Although it still looks stiff, it is noticeably more relaxed and soft.
Xunmi was not pretentious at all, and sat down next to Mo Wenhan with a graceful demeanor.
"Uncle Lu, Uncle Xie, Patriarch Le." The relationships between them are immediately apparent.
"Xiao Xun, why are you all alone? Where's your dad?"
Lu family asked with a smile, subtly glancing at Le Zhengtian with disdain, thinking, "He's truly blind."
"Dad went to pick up Mom, so I came over first."
While eating xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), Xunmi answered, took the milk that Han Ge gave her, and pouted.
"Brother Han, do you think you're being picky about food again? Drinking milk is good for your health."
Don't think she didn't notice; this glass of milk was clearly a bit too much.
"No." He only drank half as much as he wanted, Mo Wenhan said without batting an eye.
Xunmi glanced at Mo Wenhan with suspicion before drinking the entire glass of milk.
The people opposite him had different expressions, especially Le Zhengtian.
Xunmi used to call him Uncle Le affectionately every time, but now he actually embarrassed him in front of Boss Mo.
"Miss Xun, I haven't had a chance to thank you yet. If you ever need anything in the future, the Xie family will definitely do our best to help you."
Xie Yan chimed in, saying that being able to get involved with Miss Xun meant that he was on good terms with Boss Mo.
Even if I don't ask Boss Mo for help, at least I won't be his enemy in the future.
Moreover, they were indeed grateful to Xunmi for what happened this time; if Xunmi hadn't asked Boss Mo for help...
His daughter won't be released either. He'll deal with Le Jia and An Ziyi after the jade gambling convention.
Xunmi waved her hand and said, "Uncle Xie, you're too kind. Miss Xie was also framed."
"I just happened to know about this, and it was just something I did on a whim, so please don't worry about it."
Upon hearing Xunmi's words, Xie Yan didn't bother with formalities and nodded with a smile.
In their hearts, however, they felt a growing admiration for Miss Xun. None of the younger generation from their families could compare to Miss Xun.
As expected, Le Zhengtian is getting more and more senile as he gets older. He lost such a good daughter-in-law and asked for such a thing instead.
Ignoring the awkward atmosphere among them, they happily searched for food.
After everyone left, she finished eating.
"Madam, Master Xie asked me to pass on a message to you."
"Le Zhengtian promised him that if An Ziyi did not win the championship of this jade gambling competition."
"He simply handed the person over to the Xie family, leaving it to them to do whatever they wanted with him."
Guan Xiao promptly packed up the items and relayed Xie Yan's parting words to him.
Xunmi stood up and stretched, while Mo Wenhan helped her tidy up her somewhat disheveled clothes.
"Hmm...it's almost time for the show to start, right? An Ziyi? I'm really looking forward to it."
