The salesperson walked over with a formulaic smile on his face: "Miss, if you can't afford it, don't waste my time. Please show the watch to this gentleman."

  She didn't even bother with polite words, directly asking him to come over, fully showing her "courtesy" towards poor and stingy customers.

  Lin Yimo frowned, is this how Gu Qianqian was treated outside? Any shop assistant can trample her.

  All along, he has been standing from Ye Qingcheng's point of view. For the first time, I thought that if Gu Qinger hadn't lost her way, in those sixteen years she lived in the Ye family, wouldn't she be a hopeless case like this now?

  The salesperson's disdain was far from over, and Lin Yimo's breath was already a bit off.

  "Is this how you treat your guests?"

  The shopping guide jumped in fright, "Ah, sorry!"

  Take a peek at Gu Qingqing, and then look at Lin Yimo, this gentleman wouldn't have taken a liking to Xiao Yao, would he?

  Was this the reason she was wearing a school uniform and appeared in such a high-end jewelry store?

  Take another look, this face, this figure, is indeed not bad, but, to come to such a high-end store and not even put on makeup, it's simply an insult to those who dress up meticulously!

  The shopping guide has already played out various CEO Cinderella storylines in her mind, and as a result...

  Gu Qianqian turned her head and saw Lin Yimo, his big beautiful black eyes were devoid of emotion, his gaze was dull to the extreme, as if he was just looking at a stranger.

  She didn't even acknowledge it, put down the necklace and turned to go to the side of the original stone counter, without even saying thank you.

  The shopping guide almost laughed, pretending to let go?

  Are you overestimating yourself?

  Lin Yimo only felt a lump of stagnant air stuck in his chest, unable to swallow or spit it out, and even lost the mood to look at jewelry.

  Does she want to buy this?

  The salesperson took the opportunity to frame her: "This lady didn't want to buy a bracelet, she only wanted to buy one piece of jade. But our bracelets are complete, how can we possibly take out the jade and sell it separately?"

  There is no shortage of disdain in language, and it's simply unreasonable to make such a demand!

  Can't afford jade finished products? Go buy rough stones instead?

  Do you think Go is something anyone can play?

  Lin Yimo handed the chain to the salesperson and said, "Wrap it up for me."

  After paying, holding the well-packaged jade bracelet, he still couldn't help but remind: "Xiangfeng Building is a jeweler itself, do you think they would leave good quality rough stones for people to pick up?"

  He knows that many poor people like to speculate and daydream, fantasizing about getting rich overnight. If they put a bit more energy into real things, why worry about not being able to get out of poverty and become wealthy?

  After a few exchanges, he can be sure that Gu Qinger is not stupid, but all her skills are misdirected.

  Gu Qingqing ignored his kind warning and instead picked up a raw stone and handed it to the salesperson, "I want this one."

  Lin Yimosen took a deep breath and left, feeling that it was pointless to argue with her. He turned around and walked away, the hand chain for Ye Qingcheng still in his hand.

  Before leaving, I couldn't help but turn back and take a look, only to see the undisguised ridicule in other people's eyes.

  Gu Qingqing seemed completely unaware and still had the nerve to ask:

  "Are you guys in charge of opening the stone here?"

  The salesperson was speechless, "Miss, you can't think that spending just a few hundred yuan will get you the kind of jadeite you want?"

  Gu Qingqing's face was expressionless, "Just open it."

  "Alright, alright, I'll give you a ride!"

  After all, it's also Ye family bloodline, yet fallen to such a state.

  Lin Yimo couldn't bear to look directly, went out, got in the car, started the engine, but didn't drive away, sitting in the car waiting.

  He didn't know what he was waiting for either, maybe he just wanted to see her lose the gamble and regret not listening to his warning.

  However...

  Half an hour later, seeing the stone that had been opened, the contempt and ridicule in everyone's eyes in the store were replaced with shock.

  They all knew that those rough stones were relatively inferior, and the one Gu Qing chose was not particularly stunning either. However, after a few cuts, the outer layer didn't jadeize at all, but instead cracked, while the center surprisingly revealed a vibrant green.

  Light green, very pure quality, just the color has not opened yet. A big piece can be cut into 10 cm usable ones, which is enough to make a string of those hand chains earlier. But such complete and unmixed colors are usually used for making nameplates, and three pieces like this would be worth tens of millions!

  Everyone was amazed and envious, but Gu Qing still remained calm and unruffled.

  "The color and texture have improved a bit." If you force yourself to make a bead repair the chain, it's not impossible, but an expert can tell at a glance.

  Everyone is sleeping like a log!

  You spent hundreds of yuan on something worth tens of thousands, and you're still complaining about it here?

  The store manager was also startled and quickly stopped Gu Qinger who was holding the jade and about to leave.

  "Miss, are you planning to sell the jade you're wearing?"

  "Not for sale, I want to give it to my mom as a keepsake."

  Manager: ……

  The salesperson selling the bracelet was dissatisfied, "What's your family background? Is it necessary to wear such an expensive brand? Our store accepts jade and offers a high price. Isn't it more cost-effective than being greedy for this little vanity?"

  They used to despise others for being overnight millionaires, but now that they themselves have become rich overnight, they feel unbalanced.

  Gu Qingqing nodded, "You make a lot of sense, so it's 500,000 yuan then? Will you buy it?"

  Salesperson: ……

  You bought something for a few hundred yuan and then sold it for 500,000 yuan, why aren't you on top of the world?

  The manager wiped his sweat and said, "Miss, if you really want to sell, twenty million is the highest I can go."

  "Can't afford it? Then don't waste my time."

  Holding a jade pendant, she walked out of Xiangfeng Building with her small body straight and upright.

  Everyone: ……

  The entire staff of Xiangfeng Building felt their faces were numb.

  Lin Yimo finally saw Gu Qingqing come out.

  The dim streetlight made it difficult to see the little girl's face clearly, and her expressionless appearance also couldn't reveal how many white eyes she had suffered or how much grievance she had endured.

  After all, this is the blood of the Ye family, even if he doesn't want to admit it, Ye Qingcheng indeed occupied her identity.

  Lin Yimo originally wanted to have a good talk with her, but when she met the little girl's overly cold eyes, some words couldn't be said.

  "I'm waiting for you here just to warn you, if you don't want to participate in the research group, then personally apply to quit. It's not that you can reap benefits by just being on the list!"

  Doing scientific research still relies on one's own strength.

  Gu Qingqing ignored him and hailed a taxi to leave.

  Lin Yimo: ……

  A rotten wood cannot be carved; Gu Qiangqiang has been ruined from the root.

  Gu Qingqing's phone kept receiving messages from Li Yi.

  Qing Qing, Zhu Ping's mother suddenly fell critically ill...

  "Darling, we're on our way to Central Hospital..."

  "My dear, what should I do? I'm so scared..."

  "Master, hurry up."

  From Li Yi's information, Gu Qingqing drew two conclusions: one, Zhu Mu was seriously ill; two, Li Yi had a crush on Zhu Ping.

  About ten minutes later, Gu Qing arrived at Central Hospital.

  Outside the emergency room, in the spacious corridor, there were only Zhu Ping and Li Yi guarding him.

  Zhu Ping received news from the hospital on his way home after sending Li Yi back.

  The heavy burden of the family suddenly fell on his shoulders, and the unruly young man was like being suddenly thrown into the depths of hell.

  He hugged his head, burying it in his legs, helpless and fragile.

  Li Yi's eyes were red-rimmed, unsure of what she could do to help, and finally carefully handed over a bottle of water.

  Zhu Ping forced a smile onto her face, which was even uglier than crying, but it soothed the little girl's nerves.

  Gu Qianqian hacked into the hospital system and checked the patient's records.

  Zhu Mu Li Xiuying suffered from a blood disease. The hospital had always wanted to perform surgery on her, but unfortunately she was allergic to anesthesia, so all surgeries were impossible.

  For nearly two years now, she has been barely clinging to life using conservative methods.

  "Zhu Ping, what are you doing here?"

  Ye Qingcheng's voice suddenly rang out, breaking the silence of the corridor.

  "Overturning the city?"

  There was more expression in Zhu Ping's eyes.
