Chapter 567: Betting on Rocks
“Xia Xibei?!” Li Weiyun’s eyes widened in surprise. “How come you’re here?!”
Xia Xibei’s style today was very youthful today, wearing a sky blue short-sleeved sweater, straight black jeans, and white sneakers. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail, swaying as she walked. She was very noticeable.
The other guests couldn’t help but look in her direction with amazement.
Hearing Li Weiyun’s words, everyone’s eyes darted back and forth between the two.
So pretty girls all knew each other?
Everyone originally thought that Li Weiyun was a rare beauty, but to their surprise, there was a girl even prettier than her!
Li Weiyun’s makeup was exquisite, as if she was ready to go to a dinner party. Xia Xibei’s face was makeup-free, but her skin was pale and luminous, her eyes clear and looking full of vitality.
Although they each had their own merits, Xia Xibei was still better.
If she had also dressed up, she would definitely be able to stand out from the crowd!
Li Weiyun didn’t have time to pay attention to the others’ gazes. She looked at Xia Xibei in disbelief.
“What are you doing here?”
Xia Xibei smiled at her, “I came to buy rocks!”
Her smile was bright. Not a bit of gloom could be seen in them, as if nothing had happened yesterday.
Li Weiyun’s back went cold.
The men’s superficial injuries from yesterday were not serious, but their bones were broken. Their internal injuries, on the other hand, were severe, with some degree of damage done to all internal organs.
The doctor said that they must rest in bed for at least a few years, and after that, they could not do any heavy work.
When the men woke up, she asked them if Xia Xibei was alone or if someone had helped.
Those people said that they could not see clearly because of the darkness, only that the other party was very fast and moved well.
However, they only saw one figure. That meant there was only Xia Xibei.
After hearing their words, Li Weiyun’s hands and feet went cold.
Xia Xibei actually had such power!
She looked so gentle and harmless, but she was actually so scary!
What if Xia Xibei wanted to do something?
However, after seeing Xia Xibei, she calmed down.
What was she afraid of?
Xia Xibei was just one person, and she had no family to help her.
If she really dared to make a move against Li Weiyun, the Li family would not let her get away with it!
Thinking of this, Li Weiyun smiled at Xia Xibei.
“Do you know how to gamble on rocks too?”
This was a rock-gambling house on the outskirts of the imperial capital, equipped with the best rocks. The rocks contained all kinds of beautiful jade.
Many jade merchants and purchasing managers of various jewelry companies were also gathered here.
It would be great if they could find beautiful jade stones that could be carved and turned into their treasures for their stores.
However, it was not easy to find the right jade.
There was a saying in the jade industry: One wrong cut, you’re poor; one right cut, you’re rich; one cut, and you’re wearing a sackcloth.
The profits here were frighteningly high, but the risks were equally as high.
Even the master artisans, who had been betting on rocks for many years, did not dare to say that they were 100% accurate. It was always possible to throw a bunch of money down and only end up picking a useless rock.
The Li family was the leader of the jewelry industry, and the company was famous for its variety in beautiful and gorgeous jade ornaments and accessories.
To sustain it, however, raw materials were needed.
Now that Li Weiyun was going to enter the company, she naturally had to be exposed to this business.
Wasn’t it ridiculous that Xia Xibei chose to bet on rocks in order to get back at her?
She was even less intimidated by Xia Xibei at this thought, only feeling that she was a bit silly.
“Is that so? Then I hope you make a lot of money.”
“Thank you, I will definitely make a lot of money.”
Xia Xibei received her “blessing” with an unchanging smile.
