“Why? Is something wrong?” Su Huiqing tucked her hands into her pockets and raised her brows.
Yu Qin suppressed her voice and smiled bitterly. “My Missy, that Su Xiao was the champion of last year’s stone gambling competition!”
Hua Guangxuan glanced at her and added, “Not only last year, but also the year before that. She was the champion.”
“So?” Su Huiqing narrowed her eyes. It seemed like there was such a thing.
“So what? If you didn’t go in, not many people would have known about you.” Yu Qin continued to sigh. “Miss Su, didn’t I teach you a lesson that night? Who doesn’t know that Su Xiao is this year’s champion? You actually competed with her? She clearly wanted to take this opportunity to mock you. She’s digging a hole for you to jump into.”
Yu Yan added, “I didn’t expect you to really agree.”
“You guys don’t trust me that much?” Su Huiqing thought about it and felt that she didn’t seem to have anything worth trusting.
“Miss Su, you have to show me something to make me believe you.” Yu Qin was very worried. She looked at Su Huiqing faintly. “Do you still remember your suffocating operation last night? Let me show you, you can’t even tell the pattern.”
Su Huiqing: “…” It did seem a little suffocating.
At this moment, even Murong Bai frowned. He didn’t mention Su Huiqing but looked at Yu Shijin. “Old Yu, why didn’t you stop Sister-in-law? You actually let her agree to Su Xiao like this. Sister-in-law doesn’t know, but you do, right?”
Yu Shijin didn’t answer and just looked down at Su Huiqing. “The Fu Family?”
He was talking about what that girl said.
Su Huiqing snapped out of her trance and smiled. “It’s fine. It has already been resolved.”
However, this sentence didn’t satisfy Yu Shijin. However, he glanced at Su Huiqing and remained silent.
He decided to ask when.
At this moment, Saint walked over from afar. “Young Master, Old Master Shen is looking for you.”
“Still not done?” Su Huiqing narrowed her eyes.
Yu Shijin shook his head. “Old Master Shen met the other guests just now. How about this? You, Murong, and the rest go into the inner courtyard to choose stones first. I will go meet Old Master Shen and look for you immediately.”
“Alright, you go.” Su Huiqing nodded.
The two of them left.
However, just as he was leaving, Saint saw Su Huiqing. He paused, bowed slightly towards Su Huiqing, and left with Yu Shijin.
Murong Bai was talking to Hua Guangxuan when he saw this scene from the corner of his eye. He could not help but narrow his eyes.
“What’s wrong with this Saint?” Murong Bai looked at the back of the Saint. “He’s so respectful to Sister-in-law?”
Murong Bing was also shocked.
They had seen Saint before and knew what kind of person Saint was. He was arrogant and awe-inspiring. Murong Bai initially thought that Saint would not have a good expression if Su Huiqing was beside Yu Shijin. Right now, it seemed… that was not the case at all.
Murong Bai narrowed his eyes. He didn’t know if he was seeing things, but he felt that Saint seemed to be a little afraid of Su Huiqing.
Was this an illusion?
“Tsk, you will know in the future.” Upon hearing this, Hua Guangxuan, Yu Han, and the rest looked thoughtful.
“There are still secrets?” Murong Bai glanced at Su Huiqing. “It’s fine if you guys don’t tell me. Sister-in-law, I will bring you into the stone viewing first. The competition this year is a little intense. I will bring you to meet some stone cutting masters and let them give you some pointers later, in case…”
He didn’t finish his sentence, but everyone knew what he meant.
It was to prevent Su Huiqing from losing too badly.
After all, she was her sister-in-law. Murong Bai would naturally think for her.
Su Huiqing sighed. She knew that Murong Bai meant well. “Forget it. As long as you guys are happy.”
“Qingqing, don’t worry.” Hua Guangxuan patted her shoulder. He only dared to do this when Yu Shijin was not around. “When the time comes, even if it’s really a useless piece of rock, I won’t discriminate against you. Really, you are still tall and mighty in my heart.”
Su Huiqing: “…”
On the other side, Su Xiao walked into the inner courtyard filled with stones. Madam Su happened to come over. “Xiao Xiao, I heard your father tell the Liu Family Head that Su Huiqing really knows that big shot. We will prepare two stones and send them to Su Huiqing. She will definitely stand on your side. When the time comes…”
“No need.” Su Xiao sneered.
Initially, she thought that Su Huiqing really had some tricks up her sleeves and knew that Apollo. That was why she was saved by the Liu Family. From the looks of it, it was definitely not the case. The Liu Family must have received Yu Shijin’s identity…
No wonder… no wonder it was a death sentence.
In the end, it could still be reversed!
Su Xiao clenched her fists before putting them down again. She sneered. “Mom, let me tell you. This has nothing to do with Su Huiqing!”
“What do you mean?” Murong Bing didn’t know how to look at Su Huiqing so he decided to look for Su Xiao.
However, she was talking about Su Huiqing.
Su Xiao took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. “This Su Huiqing. Does she think she can rest easy just because she has Young Master Yu?”
In the end, she smiled mildly. “In the end, she still wants to play stone gambling with me? Where did she get the guts to play this with me?”
Since Su Huiqing wanted to court death, she would not stand on ceremony. She would let Su Huiqing understand what true stone gambling was!
