He touched his nose and dejectedly returned to his room.
That night, Fang Yusheng slept very badly. The next morning, he looked at the tired man in the mirror and self-deprecatingly laughed. “Who told you to court death!” When he went downstairs, he passed by the guest room and glared at the fingerprint lock door.
Qiao Jiusheng was already eating breakfast. After having breakfast, she said, “Aunt Jin, I won’t be back for lunch.” She stood up to leave, treating Fang Yusheng as invisible.
Seeing that she was really leaving, Fang Yusheng stood up as well.
He put on his sunglasses and drove the Volkswagen, following Qiao Jiusheng, who was in her sports car,
This time, Qiao Jiusheng did not go to see Wei Shuyi or Wei Xin. Instead, she drove the car to Stone Gambling Street. Fang Yusheng watched her carefully choose from a pile of uncut stones.
Although stone gambling came with risks, Qiao Jiusheng did not seem to care.
She spent seven to eight hundred thousand yuan in one morning.
Qiao Jiusheng cut all the jade stones that she had chosen. Her luck was not bad, and she actually got it right. After cutting all the jade stones, she actually cut out a small piece of glass-type jade. That piece of jade was very thin and oval. Qiao Jiusheng placed the jade under the sunlight and smiled until her eyes curved upward.
In the car, Fang Yusheng looked at her and smiled.
Suddenly, Qiao Jiusheng turned around and glared at him. Fang Yusheng immediately put on his sunglasses and pretended not to exist.
After returning home, Qiao Jiusheng locked herself in her room.
Fang Yusheng knew that she was making jade carvings, so he did not disturb her.
For several days after that, Qiao Jiusheng did not take the initiative to talk to Fang Yusheng. Other than during meal times, she always locked herself in the house. Whenever Fang Yusheng spoke to her at the dining table, she usually remained silent. Since the owners of the house got into a conflict, Aunt Jin and Qi Bufan’s voices became softer.
Qiao Jiusheng finished the jade sculpture half a month later.
That day, the sun was bright. Qiao Jiusheng walked out of her room and stood in the backyard. When she felt the sunlight caress her face, she could not help but stretch. Opening her fingers, she clenched them in the air. Fang Yusheng took this opportunity to take a few more glances. He realized that her hands were a little red.
He frowned and quickly walked over to her. “Your hand…” Before he could clearly see it, Qiao Jiusheng withdrew her hand.
“Pervert, frivolous!” she said before taking her newly carved work to the auction house.
Fang Yusheng did not follow her this time. He let Jiang Sheng and the rest secretly protect her.
In the meantime, he asked Qi Bufan to take the stairs and climb into Qiao Jiusheng’s room to find her carving knife and tools. When Fang Yusheng saw Qiao Jiusheng’s tools, he did not say anything and locked himself in the collection room. He personally designed a set of carving tools that were the size of her palm for Qiao Jiusheng.
Qiao Jiusheng’s jade carving of the Icy Jade Goddess of Mercy was sold for more than three million yuan. The auction company took 10% of the profits, while Qiao Jiusheng kept the rest in her wallet. With the newly earned money, she walked into the largest jade shop in Binjiang City and bought an unfinished piece of ice glutinous rice raw material.
She borrowed the jade shop’s factory and cut the ice glutinous jade into beads with a diameter of one centimeter.
The next few days, she polished the beads on her own, making them smooth, drilling holes, and polishing them.
Fang Yusheng had watched Qiao Jiusheng leave early and return late for five to six days. He had always wanted to find an opportunity to talk to her, but she refused to give him face.
That night, Qiao Jiusheng returned to the house under the moon and stars.
Just as she closed the door, Fang Yusheng’s voice rang behind her. “Ah Sheng, let’s talk.”
Qiao Jiusheng looked up at the man standing under the dim light.
His facial features were handsome. When he looked at her, she felt as if he were looking at the entire world. He was extremely focused and loving.
Her heart trembled, and Qiao Jiusheng nodded.
“Coincidentally, I have something to tell you.”
