Chapter 7: You Have to Indulge Me

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Jinhua looked at him in surprise. She knew that Jian Huaiyu already had a certain foundation in jade carving, but she did not expect him to be so accurate in his analysis of the value of the material.

However, that made sense. It was normal for Pu Yonghe to bring him to fish for materials.

She smiled sweetly. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

Jian Huaiyu’s lips curled up slightly. This trusting gaze was admiration, right?

He took photos of the two jade pieces that were already cut out and sent them to his friends. “Just follow me when I go and talk to the buyers later. I won’t let you suffer a loss.”

Jinhua glanced at Pu Yonghe beside the other machine and whispered, “Didn’t you come out to work with your teacher? Will this affect your work? What if your salary is deducted?”

“Teacher and I came out to shop today. We’ve bought everything we need. He only came here to gamble on stones because he was in the mood. It won’t affect him.”

They were in the jade carvings business and liked to go to the market to buy some special ingredients. It was normal for them to wander around the market.

Jian Huaiyu had his own style and understanding of the theme design of some jade sculptures. He often provided Pu Yonghe with some inspiration, so Pu Yonghe always liked to bring him to look for materials.

Regarding stone gambling, it was only Pu Yonghe’s personal interest. Jian Huaiyu often watched from the side and learnt a lot.

After all, no matter how good the knowledge in books was, it had to be applied practically.

“As long as it doesn’t affect your work.”

Jinhua knew that his family’s finances were in trouble. Jian Huaiyu did not have much salary as an apprentice. He only had that bit of allowance every month and had to rely on his own abilities to sell some things to maintain the family’s livelihood.

If his allowance was deducted because of her, she would feel very guilty.

As she spoke, the third piece was cut out. Jinhua held the remaining two pieces of jade. She originally thought that this stone could only produce three bangle embryos at most. She did not expect there to be four.

The third piece was surprisingly good. Other than a large crack on the side, there were no other flaws.

After being excited twice in a row, Jian Huaiyu was much calmer this time. “This piece is not bad either. Its value is even higher than the second piece.”

He took out his phone and took a few photos from different angles before sending them to his friends.

When he saw someone reply, he lowered his head and typed.

Jinhua’s heart pounded as she looked at his serious expression.

The serious Jian Huaiyu was even more charming than the usually jovial him. He had a more mature and steady aura.

“Sister Cai is quite interested in your material. She said she wanted to see the real thing…”

Jian Huaiyu suddenly looked up and met Jinhua’s gaze. His heart skipped a beat and his ears burned. “Why… why are you looking at me like that?”

Jinhua’s eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. Her eyes were clean and clear, very innocent. “No, I’m just thinking… you won’t complain about me when you get back, right?”

“You’re afraid now?” Jian Huaiyu shook his head and laughed. “Since you’re afraid of being taught a lesson by Auntie Feng, why did you still dare to come and gamble on stones?”

Jinhua puffed her cheeks. “I… I was just curious. Who knew I would bump into you?”

“Yo, are you blaming me now?”

“No, no. How could that be?” Jinhua tugged at his sleeve and shook it. She imitated her younger self and shouted sweetly, “Big Brother Yu, you definitely can’t bear to see me being chased and beaten up by my mother with a broom, right?”

Jian Huaiyu was speechless.

I didn’t want to board the pirate ship initially, but she wheedled to me.

He said with a conflicted expression, “But the uncertainty of stone gambling is still too great. I can’t let you fall deeper and deeper into it. You won today, but what if you lose everything one day? Letting you do as you please is irresponsible.”

Whether one could become rich overnight or bankrupt himself was all in a single thought.

This kind of thing was no longer rare in this circle.

In Ming City, which was known as a jade capital, such incidents happened every day.

“No, you have to indulge me.” Jinhua looked at him seriously.

Jian Huaiyu: “???”

“You’ve already boarded my pirate ship. Don’t even think about getting off.”

Jinhua quickly put away the four jade pieces and looked at him eagerly. “Tell me, do you want to become rich overnight?

Do you want to give your mother the best life?

Do you want to earn money and bring home a wife?”

Jian Huaiyu said, “…You don’t have to bewitch me. I won’t listen to you.”

As soon as the advertisement came out, he felt that Jinhua was like a seller of fake medicine.

“Then are you still going to bring me to sell jade?”

“Yes!”

Jian Huaiyu spoke without hesitation. If he didn’t sell it, what if she accidentally damaged it?

Jian Huaiyu took the bag from her and carefully hugged it in his arms. He went to tell Pu Yonghe before bringing Jinhua out.

“Are you really okay with leaving your boss and teacher and going with me?” Jinhua was still afraid that his salary would be deducted.

“I told him that I’ll see if Sister Cai has any suitable materials. If she does, I can bring them back for him.”

Jinhua was speechless. There was such a thing?

“Then what do you think of my materials? Why don’t you let your teacher take them?”

“Not only does my teacher have sharp eyes, but his mouth is even more vicious when he bargains. I’m afraid you’ll cry from his ruthless prices.”

Jian Huaiyu whispered in her ear, “He once bargained with a shop owner for more than a month for a piece of material. Now, the boss is afraid to see him at the stall.”

“…” Jinhua clicked her tongue. “Is it really good to say that about your teacher?”

Jian Huaiyu coughed awkwardly and subconsciously touched his tall nose. “I’m just afraid that you’ll be suppressed, little heartless one.”

Jian Huaiyu came in Pu Yonghe’s car, so he did not have his bike. The two of them could only take a taxi to Sister Cai’s shop.

Sister Cai was a mature woman in her thirties. She had long curly hair and a voluptuous figure. She looked gentle and approachable.

When she saw them enter, she immediately welcomed them with a smile. “Little Jian, you’re here. This is the friend you were talking about, right? I didn’t expect her to look so young. Is she an adult yet?”

It was an exaggeration to say that she was young. But with Jinhua’s prim and proper outfit and her delicate and young face, she really did not look old at all. It was no wonder Sister Cai suspected that she was still underage.

Jinhua smiled and said, “Sister Cai, I’m 19 this year.”

“Yes, she’s an adult,” Jian Huaiyu said. No one noticed the teasing smile that flashed across his eyes when he looked down at Jinhua.

“This little sister looks so tender, like a flower.”

Sister Cai teased her before getting to the point. “I heard from Little Jian that you have a few pieces of freshly cut clear material, right? The pictures are not bad, but I wonder if this kid has moisturized and beautified them.”

As Jian Huaiyu took out the jade and placed it on the table, he said helplessly, “What’s the use of me beautifying it? Can’t Sister Cai tell if this quality is good or not?”
