Chapter 233: Chapter 178: Stone Gambling_2

Jiang Qingtian gave her a faint glance then looked away and spoke to Mo Qianhui, "Mom, I’m going upstairs first."

"What do you mean you’re going upstairs? Didn’t you see that Tianya came? What’s wrong with you? As soon as you come back, you run upstairs. Dinner is about to be ready; I’ve already asked Tianya to eat dinner here. After dinner, you should take Tianya back home," Mo Qianhui said in a dissatisfied undertone as she stepped forward to grab her son. What’s the matter with him? Every time Tianya visits, he acts like this. Could he still be thinking about that girl named Qin Qin?

At the thought, Mo Qianhui’s face darkened, and she said to Jiang Qingtian in a low voice, "Are you still thinking about that girl? In what way is Tianya inferior to her? You need to forget about her, do you understand?"

Jiang Qingtian looked at Mo Qianhui and let out a self-mocking laugh, "What’s the use of thinking about it? She simply doesn’t look up to me!"

Thinking about her firm rejection today, Jiang Qingtian mocked himself. He had always been the Heavenly Proud Boy, always getting whatever he wanted. Yet, when he finally liked a girl and wanted to rely on his abilities to make a name for himself, she didn’t look up to him.

Mo Qianhui was taken aback, her gaze growing heavy, "What? She has the nerve to look down on my son!"

Mo Qianhui did not like Qin Qin, but that did not mean she was willing to hear that a girl named Qin Qin looked down upon her son.

Lin Tianya watched from the side, her eyes flickering, the corners of her lips slightly upturned.

Jiang Qingtian no longer paid any attention to Mo Qianhui and headed to his room. Mo Qianhui shouted after him sternly, but Jiang Qingtian ignored her.

In Mo Yunchen’s villa, Mo Tang whispered into Mo Yunchen’s ear, who laughed coldly, "He thinks he can covet my woman?"

"Yes!"

Mo Tang couldn’t help but sigh inwardly; Young Master Jiang had some guts to dare to compete with Master Mo for Miss Qin.

The next day.

Qin Qin and Elder Hou arrived at a Jade Stone Street located a few hundred meters from Antique Street to the south, which, though called a street, had only two or three shops.

Elder Hou took Qin Qin to the furthest jade shop named Jade Destiny.

"The business seems quite good," Qin Qin noted, seeing a dozen or so people entering and leaving. She didn’t expect such a small place to have so many patrons.

Elder Hou stroked his beard and laughed heartily, "Qin Qin, you don’t understand. These people aren’t here to buy jade; they’re here for stone gambling!"

"Stone gambling? What is stone gambling?"

She was curious about this so-called stone gambling.

Elder Hou smiled kindly, "You’ll know once we go inside."

Elder Hou and Qin Qin entered Jade Destiny, a shop that was not very large, with several glass cabinets inside displaying many finely carved transparent jades. A girl around twenty years old sat inside the counter, reading a novel. She stood up in surprise when she saw Elder Hou, "Grandpa Hou, how come you have time to visit today?"

"Today I’m here with a friend. Where’s your grandfather?" Elder Hou looked around the shop and did not see his old friend.

The girl pouted, "My grandpa is in the back with a group of clients."

As she spoke, the girl’s gaze turned to Qin Qin standing next to Elder Hou. She had not expected Grandpa Hou’s friend to be a girl even younger than herself.

With this thought, the girl took another look at Qin Qin, surprised at her delicate features and the noble and elegant aura she exuded. Though her shop was small, the people who came in were wealthy, and she was used to spotting their richness at a glance. However, this girl was the most dignified person she had ever seen.

Elder Hou nodded, turned to Qin Qin and asked, "Are you interested in stone gambling? If so, I can take you to see it."

Qin Qin raised a smiling face, "Sure!"

Elder Hou chuckled and walked with Qin Qin towards the back of the store. Behind Jade Destiny was a large courtyard filled with many stones; some were placed on shelves, and others were scattered on the ground. A dozen or so people surrounded the stones, inspecting them closely, some even using flashlights to shine at them.

Elder Hou led Qin Qin toward an old man with a head full of white hair, who had his back turned to them, "Old Man Mu!"

The man known as Old Man Mu turned around in surprise, bursting into laughter upon seeing Elder Hou, "What wind has blown you here, you old geezer?"

Elder Hou touched his beard, glaring at Old Man Mu, "What? Is it so curious that I am here? I’ve come with a friend today."

Old Man Mu’s gaze shifted to Qin Qin next to Elder Hou and then said to Elder Hou, "Since when have you had such a young friend?"
