“You’re just a raw stones seller. Do you know who my father is? If you want to meddle in other people’s business, you have to know your place! Hmph, Gu Qingchen, you’ve really grown up. You even flirted with such an old and ugly man. You’re truly shameless. An Ge isn’t here. Otherwise, I really should show An Ge what kind of woman you are!”

The more Shi Wei talked, the happier she became. She just did not like Gu Qingchen. Although Gu Qingchen’s family went bankrupt, Gu Qingchen looked better than her. This made Shi Wei unable to swallow her anger.

How could the raw stones boss stand this? He was also kind enough to speak up for Gu Qingchen. He did not expect that Shi Wei would make up a story about him without forethought.

“How can you talk like that! You deserve a beating. People like you who have dirty thoughts and hearts are not welcome here. Get lost!”

Gu Qingchen didn’t expect the boss to be such a straightforward person. Shi Wei didn’t expect that a man who sold raw stones would dare to point at her and her father and tell them to get lost!

Shi Wei and Shi Tian’s faces turned green. With their status, how could they stand being scolded by the boss who sold raw stones?

“You… who do you think you are? Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that? I think you don’t want to work anymore. You dirty thing, you had the nerve to offend me. I will make you suffer!”

Shi Tian was furious, and the raw stones boss was even more hot-tempered. He directly rushed up and punched Shi Tian in the face without saying a word. Shi Tian fell to the ground and cried out in shock.

This punch was very powerful, and half of Shi Tian’s face was swollen. The boss spat. “Dirty thing? Hehe, I will beat you up today. If you have the ability, don’t talk nonsense. Come and fight with me. Let’s see who is a coward and who is a dirty thing!”

It had to be said that Shi Tian really kicked an iron board. He met a man who would fight without moving his mouth, and he was immediately beaten up.

There was a fight over here, and soon, someone ran over. Seeing the two of them fighting, he hurriedly stopped them.

“Old Zhou, what’s going on? Why are you fighting with someone? Is this guy here to cause trouble?”

The boss of the raw stones stall was called Zhou Xiang, and he was an old man here. Usually, he was quite sincere and honest, but his temper was a little stubborn. Today, he would beat up Shi Tian because Shi Tian’s words were too harsh. As a man, it wouldn’t make sense if he didn’t beat up Shi Tian.

“This guy is asking for a beating. His mouth is too smelly!”

Zhou Xiang glared at Shi Tian. Shi Tian immediately shrank his neck in fear. He was afraid that Zhou Xiang would beat him up again. However, seeing that so many people were stopping Zhou Xiang, he was slightly relieved.

Shi Wei was completely stunned. When she reacted, she actually pounced towards Gu Qingchen. She raised her hand wanting to hit Gu Qingchen.

If it were not for Gu Qingchen, her father would not be beaten up. Shi Wei had wanted to hit Gu Qingchen since a long time ago. Now that she was provoked, she could not help but pounce on her.

The group of men pulled Zhou Xiang, so they did not notice Shi Wei’s actions. By the time they saw her, Shi Wei had already rushed over.

However, they did not expect that before Shi Wei pounced on Gu Qingchen, Gu Qingchen only dodged slightly and gave a side kick. Shi Wei was sent flying and landed on Shi Tian’s body. Two exclamations of pain instantly shook the hearts of everyone!

The people blocking Zhou Xiang were instantly dumbstruck and shocked. They looked at Gu Qingchen with deep respect in their eyes.

This lady was really… ruthless!

Gu Qingchen clapped her hands and looked down at Shi Wei who had a pained expression. Her lips curled into a smile. “Before you make a move, think about what you’re capable of. This time, I’ll show mercy, but it won’t be the same next time.”

Shi Wei struggled to breathe after being kicked. Her tears and snot kept falling. She said weakly, “You… how dare you hit me? Dad, kill her! Kill the Gu family!”

She wanted to hit Gu Qingchen, but she was kicked by Gu Qingchen. Shi Wei could not take it lying down. Her eyes were red as if she was going to devour Gu Qingchen.

Shi Tian was beaten up. Seeing so many men around Zhou Xiang, he was a little afraid, so he vented all his anger on Gu Qingchen.

“Your Gu family owes me a few million, and you still dare to lay your hands on my daughter. I’m telling you, if you don’t pay me back today, I’ll send your whole family to jail!”

Gu Qingchen’s face darkened. A few million in arrears was definitely a huge amount of debt in this era. Although she had the Hundred Herb Hall, it was impossible for her to raise a few million today.

Seeing Gu Qingchen’s expression, the father and daughter who were struggling on the ground seemed to be very pleased. “Hmph, now you regret it? No way! If your family doesn’t pay up today, I’ll sell you to Southeast Asia as a hostess!”

Shi Tian was a person who didn’t know how to keep his mouth shut. Deep down, he was quite despicable, so he didn’t feel embarrassed at all when he said those words.

The people around them also understood what he meant. Although it was only right to repay a debt, Shi Tian’s words were so terrible that they did not have a good impression of him. Instead, they felt sympathy for Gu Qingchen.

Sympathy was sympathy, but it was impossible for them to raise money to help Gu Qingchen. A few million was an astronomical figure.

Looking at Shi Tian and Shi Wei, Gu Qingchen only said softly, “Whatever.”

After saying these two words, Gu Qingchen stopped looking at the father and daughter. Instead, she looked at Zhou Xiang. “Boss Zhou, I want to cut the stone. Where do I do it?”

It was not that Gu Qingchen was showing weakness, but she felt a warm touch on her palm. She had an idea and wanted to take a gamble.

Life was a gamble. She wanted to take a big gamble.

Zhou Xiang was slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted. “I’ll help you cut the stone. I won’t charge you!”

But when he saw the raw stone in Gu Qingchen’s hand, he felt a little guilty. That raw stone was obviously waste, and he regretted selling it to Gu Qingchen.

But since Gu Qingchen wanted to cut the stone, he definitely had to help, so he took it as an encouragement to Gu Qingchen.

Gambling on stone was a win-lose situation, what if the bet went up.

Gu Qingchen smiled at Zhou Xiang and nodded. She handed over the raw stone in her hand. “Then I’ll have to trouble Boss Zhou.”

There were other people around who said, “Old Zhou, use my stone-cutting machine. It’s the latest model. It’s absolutely powerful!”

It was supposed to cost money to rent the stone-cutting machine, but these people were very loyal and lent it to Zhou Xiang for free.

The liveliness over here immediately attracted the attention of others. They followed Gu Qingchen and Zhou Xiang to the stone-cutting machine and watched the show.

For a moment, no one paid any attention to Shi Wei and her father. It was as if the two of them were air. No one even tried to pull them up.

In the end, the two of them stood up by themselves. Shi Tian covered his face while Shi Wei covered her stomach. The hatred in their eyes was the same, but they did not dare to attack again. In the end, they hardened their hearts and squeezed into the crowd, they watched Zhou Xiang dissect the stone.

They could not do anything to Gu Qingchen here. They were just waiting for Gu Qingchen to leave. The father and daughter pair would definitely teach Gu Qingchen a good lesson and force her to pay back the money!

Shi Wei’s thoughts were even more twisted. She could see that Gu Qingchen was just trying to earn money by gambling on stones to pay off her debts. Don’t think that she did not know anything. With that piece of trash in Gu Qingchen’s hands, it would not be possible to find jade inside unless something unexpected happened!
