3179 Do You Want to Prove Yourself?
However, the others were surprised by Li Mochen’s words. Li Mochen really treated Leng Xiaoyao differently.
They were confused, but didn’t dare to ask about it.
After settling the bill, they left.
There were many restaurants outside the stone-gambling street. Because there were too many visitors, they had to wait a long time, so they drove to a farther place.
It was a smart choice. Once they went to a farther restaurant, there were much fewer people and they could eat half an hour later.
They ate quickly, so they finished the meal within twenty minutes.
Afterwards, they ordered tea and rested for a while. Then they went back and continued to pick raw jade materials.
They had agreed to enjoy themselves here, but now they followed Leng Xiaoyao everywhere. Since Leng Xiaoyao had the ability to find jade by instinct, there was no need for them to slowly observe raw jade materials, which was boring. It was more fun to watch Leng Xiaoyao pick raw jade materials.
After coming to the stone-gambling street again, they went to the same store.
An hour later, Leng Xiaoyao felt most raw jade materials in this store and got three with weak magical power, one with strong magical power, and one with very strong magical power.
Leng Xiaoyao promised to pick several good raw jade materials for Mu Yiyang and Si Yiqi, so she gave each of them one raw jade material with weak magical power and one with strong magical power.
Li Mochen had the same treatment.
Jiang Han, Mu Ke, and Lin Mu had a raw jade material with weak magical power.
Leng Xiaoyao didn’t feel it was a great loss after giving away so many raw jade materials with jade. After all, it didn’t cost her much to get them.
Most importantly, she took them as her friends.
Since they were close, she wouldn’t hesitate to send them valuable things. However, if they weren’t close, she wouldn’t do that.
She wasn’t very familiar with some of them, but they weren’t strangers. After all, they were Li Mochen’s close brothers, while Li Mochen wasn’t just her family member, he was also the most important person in her life.
Therefore, she would take the other men as her friends too.
With the raw jade materials, they didn’t go to cut them open at once because it would attract too much attention. They should rather keep a low profile for now.
Anyway, it couldn’t be easier for them to cut the raw jade materials. They could rent a warehouse and one or two stone-cutting machines. They could cut the stones by themselves.
They hadn’t done that before, but it shouldn’t be difficult.
Leng Xiaoyao had no plan to cut the raw jade materials here, because it wouldn’t be easy for her to take the jade home. She might be targeted and encounter trouble.
Mu Yiyang came to City Li to deal with something, so he left at 3 pm with Lin Mu after receiving a call.
When they left, Leng Xiaoyao reminded them to be careful.
They left to do a task, so they couldn’t go with raw jade materials, so they left theirs to Jiang Han and Mu Fan.
Anyway, there were numbers on the raw jade materials, so they wouldn’t get the wrong ones.
Leng Xiaoyao and the others didn’t stop picking raw jade materials till 6 pm, and she went to three stores. In the end, she had five raw jade materials with very strong magical power, eight with strong magical power, and ten with weak magical power.
Actually, she left many raw jade materials with weak magical power in the store, because the store owner still needed to do business.
If the news that someone cut out jade in this store went abroad, people would think that the raw jade materials in this store were of high quality. Many people would come to try.
If nobody cut out jade, people would think the raw jade materials in the store were of low quality and few people would visit this store.
Therefore, Leng Xiaoyao couldn’t rob this store of all the raw jade materials with jade, since it would ruin the owner’s business.
In addition, Leng Xiaoyao found so many raw jade materials with jade in those stores, so she should help the owners make a profit. Accordingly, Leng Xiaoyao cut out jade at each of the stores she had visited. However, she didn’t do it herself, instead she asked Jiang Han and Mu Fan to do it in turns.
When it was time for dinner, Leng Xiaoyao didn’t continue, but paid the bill and left.
“You followed me everywhere today, and you might not have enjoyed yourselves. So, let me buy you dinner later,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
“No need, I’ll do it,” Li Mochen said.
“Alright!” Leng Xiaoyao didn’t insist.
They were all men. If she paid the bill, people might judge them.
Whether they cared about their faces or not, she had to care about their dignity.
“There are too many raw jade materials. Our cars can’t accommodate them. Why don’t we rent a small truck?” Si Yiqi proposed. Those raw jade materials were many and heavy, so their cars couldn’t move them.
“I already told Jiang Han to make the arrangement. The truck is in the parking lot now,” Li Mochen said. He knew the difficulty, so he had already made the arrangements.
Leng Xiaoyao felt touched. It turned out that Jiang Han went to rent a truck while he was gone for a while earlier.
“Oh, I just had the idea, but you have already made the arrangement. I feel hit!” Si Yiqi said, pretending to feel upset. He focused on Leng Xiaoyao picking raw jade materials today, and didn’t realize the problem until he saw so many raw jade materials. However, Li Mochen made the arrangement before him.
Li Mochen was displeased. Si Yiqi felt hit? Why did he feel hit? Did he want to prove himself in front of Leng Xiaoyao?
Thinking of that, Li Mochen asked, “Why do you feel hit? Do you want to prove yourself?”
Although Li Mochen said in a flat tone, Si Yiqi was frightened. He immediately explained. “No, no, you misunderstood me. I mean I’m not as considerate as you.”
Si Yiqi emphasized his words in case Li Mochen wasn’t convinced. He looked quite sincere.
However, he complained to himself that Li Mochen was so mean! He didn’t think he said anything wrong. Why did Li Mochen think that he was trying to prove himself?
Why should he prove himself? Leng Xiaoyao was a girl. Shouldn’t they take care of her?
