Chapter 617
617 I always keep my word
With Lan Xiao’s reminder, song Qiaoqiao instantly remembered that incident.
Her face turned pale.
She had lost the bet with Lan Xiao the last time.
The price of her loss was that from now on, she could no longer be involved in things like antiques and stone gambling.
Otherwise, she would give half of her assets to Lan Xiao.
Song Qiaoqiao scratched the back of her head. Damn, this was killing her.
On one hand, it was the apprentice of the Jade King that she had been dreaming of, and on the other hand, it was half of her property …
She was so depressed that she almost vomited blood.
If she had known that she would lose to Lan Xiao in the end, why would she have sought death like that?
Song Qiaoqiao grinned and immediately pulled Lan Xiao’s arm, acting coquettishly.
Xiaoxiao, miss LAN, can you please let me participate in the appraisal competition tonight? I promise that after this, I will never be involved in this kind of thing again. Just be magnanimous and give this little one a way out, Yingluo.”
Lan Xiao crossed his arms in front of his chest and raised his eyebrows slightly as he looked at miss song, who was trying to please him.
She also grinned and showed song Qiaoqiao eight standard white teeth.
“Lady song, you did a good job in slapping my face, didn’t you? Don’t tell me you can go back on your words? Could they all act as if nothing had happened? If you want to participate in the appraisal competition, it’s not impossible, Yingluo. As long as you take out half of your assets, it’ll be fine, Yingluo!”
Song Qiaoqiao’s mouth twitched. This Lan Xiao was too stubborn.
She couldn’t help but ask in a low voice,”Lan Xiao, Who are we?” Although this is the second time we’ve met and we’re not too familiar with each other, we’ve been in contact during this period. We can’t be considered ordinary friends, but we’re still considered to be online friends, right? And you saved me yesterday. Isn’t this kind of friendship enough for you to make an exception?”
Lan Xiao smiled and shook his head.
I’m sorry, miss song. You made your bet first. I even saved you yesterday. So, you can’t renege on the previous bet, right? Although we’re good friends online, even blood Brothers have to settle accounts. We can’t break the rules of the stone-gambling industry because of our relationship, right? If I break this rule, then in the future, if others provoke me at will, even if I win, I won’t be able to do anything to the other party. Then wouldn’t I, Lan Xiao, be bullied by others?”
Song Qiaoqiao gritted her teeth in anger at Lan Xiao’s impervious look.
However, she also felt that she was in the wrong. After all, she was the one who suggested the bet, and it was true that she lost because she was not as good as the others.
Besides, there were quite a few people from the industry who were present that day.
If Lan Xiao were to make a scene, not only would her identity be exposed, she would also have a reputation of being untrustworthy.
This matter, no matter how he thought about it, would not work.
Song Qiaoqiao had a terrible headache.
However, at this moment, Lan Xiao leaned close to her ear and continued.
“Miss song, I advise you not to participate in this competition. After all, with me around, you shouldn’t have a chance of winning. Since we have a good relationship, I can’t bear to see you get nothing in return. I’m determined to become Jade King’s disciple.”
Song Qiaoqiao moaned. Only then did she realize that Lan Xiao was a Black-bellied person.
In the beginning, he used the bet to tie her down.
Now, he was pressuring her again. He clearly didn’t want her to participate in this competition.
However, she had wanted to be Jade King’s disciple for several years. How could she let go of such a good opportunity?
Although she knew that she might not be able to win against Lan Xiao, she still had to give it a try to make herself give up.
She was afraid that she would have some regrets.
Song Qiaoqiao closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Then, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Lan Xiao.”No, Yingying, I must participate in this competition. Yingluo, I’ll just give you half of my assets. What’s there to be reluctant about?”
Oh my God, giving away property was like cutting her flesh.
That feeling, tsk tsk tsk tsk, she was in so much pain.
Lan Xiao looked at song Qiaoqiao’s pained expression and couldn’t help but laugh.
She covered her mouth and looked at song Qiaoqiao.
“You’re really willing to do that?”
Song Qiaoqiao gritted her teeth and glared at her.
“Of course I’m willing. Don’t worry, once this competition is over, I’ll immediately sort out my assets and give you the details. Then, I’ll transfer the money to your account.”
Song Qiaoqiao was the eldest daughter of the song family. Although she was only 20 years old, she had a lot of wealth under her name.
She knew a lot about antiques and stone gambling. She had been taught by professionals in this industry, so she had earned a lot of money over the years.
In addition, her mother had given her some real estate, and her father had given her some branded gifts on her birthdays and New Year’s every year, such as cars, diamonds, clothes, and so on.
All in all, it was worth a lot of money.
Lan Xiao’s eyes flickered with a hint of slyness. She chuckled in a low voice, then approached song Qiaoqiao and suggested in a low voice.
miss song, I have a suggestion. I wonder if you’re willing to accept it. If you’re willing, this method might be fairer to the two of us.
Song Qiaoqiao turned to look at Lan Xiao. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw Lan Xiao’s mysterious expression.
“What?”
Lan Xiao looked around and pulled song Qiaoqiao to a corner with fewer people.
“Why don’t we work together and open a jewelry store in the Jin capital? We’ll each pay for half of the funding problem, and we’ll share half of the shares. I’ll arrange for the management staff, and you’ll be in charge of finding the store. We’ll split the profit 50 – 50.”
Song Qiaoqiao’s eyes lit up and she looked at Lan Xiao in disbelief.
“Yingluo, you’re not joking with me, right?”
After all, song Qiaoqiao had been trying to figure out how to open a shop for several years.
She liked things like antiques and stone gambling, so she had long wanted to open her own shop.
But because of her father’s jurisdiction, she didn’t have the opportunity to get in touch with such matters.
When she had nothing to do, she was always thinking about it.
She was so vexed that she was thinking about it even in her dreams. Only the heavens knew that Lan Xiao’s suggestion was like a meat pie falling from the sky. She was so shocked that her head was spinning, and she felt like she was dreaming.
“Of course it’s true. I always keep my word.” Lan Xiao narrowed his eyes and smiled. He knew that her suggestion had hit song Qiaoqiao’s sore spot.
Although the two of them didn’t spend much time together, Lan Xiao felt that she somehow understood song Qiaoqiao’s thoughts.
Perhaps it was because the two of them had similar interests and common topics, so it wasn’t hard for Lan Xiao to guess what she was thinking.
