NOVEL NEXT Chapter 391: The Bet with Sister Song
In the next two hours,
Wang Ye and the others were on the stone gambling street two blocks away from Jewelry Plaza, picking out stone materials.
Since it's Jewelry Plaza, there obviously would be no shortage of stone gambling spots.
Moreover, the groups that could set up stone gambling facilities near Jewelry Plaza were not small groups, but large ones.
The prices were steep.
And those who could pick stone materials here were not newcomers.
They were experienced elders, full of confidence in their stone gambling abilities.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be gambling on stones here; it would just be giving away money.
Wang Ye was selecting stone blocks.
Song Wei and Fang Feifei were watching from the side.
Observing Wang Ye's technique in choosing the stones, Song Wei had to admit that although both she and Wang Ye's gambling skills came from the same mentor, there was a disparity in their talents.
Wang Ye's stone gambling skills were much better than hers.
Song Wei wanted to compliment Wang Ye, but after thinking about it, she remembered that this trip was meant to temper Wang Ye's inflated confidence, and if she praised him hastily, it might backfire.
So Song Wei just pursed her lips.
And did not offer any praise to Wang Ye.
Just then,
a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties, also bringing along a young woman in her twenties, entered the jewelry store for stone gambling. The middle-aged man walked with one hand freely roaming around the raised backside of the young woman.
He showed no concern for the gazes of the people around him.
The young woman, for her part, seemed unconcerned as well, draping herself over the middle-aged man as if boneless.
At that moment, the middle-aged man who had just entered caught sight of Song Wei, who was with Wang Ye and Fang Feifei.
Upon seeing Song Wei, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up, greed flashing through them.
He took his hand off the young woman beside him, his face losing the sleazy look it had before, and said to the twenty-something-year-old young woman:
"Alright, you wait for me outside. I have some business to take care of here."
The young woman glanced in the direction of the middle-aged man.
There, where Song Wei was.
Rolling her eyes, the young woman knew all too well that the middle-aged man's ultimate target was actually Song Wei.
Some business to take care of?
Wasn't it just to send her away so that he could approach Song Wei in the coming time?
The young woman felt somewhat unhappy in her heart.
But even if the young woman was feeling upset, it made no difference.
By the middle-aged man's side, she had to suppress any emotions, otherwise, he would surely send her away.
And what was her reason for staying by this middle-aged man's side, who was even on the verge of old age?
It was purely for the money!
Even though she was uncomfortable, the young woman did not let her emotions show. She pretended to know nothing and walked straight outside.
She didn't even take a ride in the middle-aged man's car, instead finding a place to sit down, in order to avoid interfering with the man's next plan.
And inside the store.
The middle-aged man adjusted his facial expression. He appeared completely different from before, radiating the aura of a mature and elite man. Smiling, he strolled towards Song Wei.
As he almost reached Song Wei, his voice rang out, "President Song, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to bump into you here."
Upon hearing the middle-aged man's voice, Song Wei glanced towards him, and when she recognized who it was, a look of disgust flashed over her face, which was always exuding a domineering sister aura.
Yao Hang.
Yao Hang was the chairman of the Yao Corporation, ranked eleventh in the Jewelry industry of Dragon Country.
Yao Hang did not have much personal ability. His current position was entirely due to his family, the Yao Family, being an established jewelry dynasty. The Yao Corporation was directly handed over to him by the previous generation, ready-made.
However, due to Yao Hang's mismanagement, the reputation of the Yao Corporation had been declining year by year. They had fallen from the top ten to the eleventh position.
If it weren't for a few top figures in areas like gem gambling and carving still supporting the Yao Corporation, it was feared that the company wouldn't have been able to secure even a spot in the top twenty and would have fallen out of that bracket.
Song Wei was well aware of what Yao Hang thought of her.
But to Yao Hang, who was of considerable age, women were merely a resource.
As a self-reliant woman of the new age, Song Wei naturally held feelings of disgust towards Yao Hang.
Despite her disgust, everyone was in the same industry, and unless Yao Hang did something excessive, Song Wei didn't want to offend him.
Immediately, Song Wei smiled at Yao Hang and said, "Director Yao, what a coincidence."
After greeting Yao Hang.
Song Wei said nothing further.
She had given the basic courtesy, and had it been someone else, she might have chatted for a bit longer, but with Yao Hang, Song Wei had no interest in engaging in small talk.
However.
Yao Hang didn't see it that way at all.
He didn't have the slightest awareness.
Seeing that Song Wei had greeted him, Yao Hang immediately put on a lecherous grin, his eyes examining her body without a hint of respect, brazenly.
While ogling her, Yao Hang tried to sidle closer to Song Wei and began fawningly, "Song Wei, what are you doing here? I don't know if you're free tonight. Maybe we could have a meal togethe..."
"Ah ah, ah ah, aowu..."
As he spoke, Yao Hang tried to reach for Song Wei's pale, jade-like wrist. She stepped back with a disgusted expression, yet Yao Hang continued his advance as if blind to her contempt.
Before Yao Hang could finish his sentence, before his hand could touch Song Wei's, his own wrist was viciously grabbed by someone. The immense force made him feel as if the other person wanted to crush his entire wrist.
He let out a series of cries like those of a stray dog being beaten.
Crack.
There was a sound of a bone breaking. Wang Ye acted without mercy, ruthlessly crushing Yao Hang's wrist.
