It's already 2026, how can we still talk about having many children and having many blessings?

The call must have been made by Gu Qingyao's father.

After speaking for a while, her face turned extremely ugly, and she even trembled with anger.

"Fuck him!"

Gu Qingyao swore.

Chen Mo looked at her, somewhat surprised.

Good guy!

How unique that a high-class, wealthy, and beautiful woman dressed in expensive clothes would actually swear.

So it seems that even the most beautiful woman needs to poop.

Gu Qingyao spoke loudly into the phone.

"Damn it, Qin Hao is his grandson, but he's also an accomplice of Zhao Mingyuan's gang, sucking Sheng Heng's blood and almost killing me and Chen Mo. Now that he's been arrested, he expects me to forgive him? Absolutely not!"

A few more words were spoken on the other end of the phone.

Gu Qingyao's expression changed from unpleasant to solemn.

"Dad, I understand. I'll think about it."

I hung up the phone.

She sat close to the seat, head tilted back, eyes closed.

A moment later, Gu Qingyao opened her eyes.

Chen Mo looked at her.

"Did the people behind Qin Hao put pressure on you?"

Gu Qingyao nodded.

She said the phone call just now was from her father, who was relaying Qin Tianping's message.

Qin Tianping is the "Old Qin" of the provincial cultural relics community.

Qin Hao is his only grandson and the heir of the Qin family.

Qin Tianping said he was unaware of what Qin Hao had done.

But what's done is done, and we won't shirk responsibility.

The Qin family will return all the money embezzled by Qin Hao and Zhao Qiming's gang to Sheng Heng.

We will also do our best to help Shengheng obtain more raw stones at this public auction to ensure the operation of Shengheng Jade Business Unit.

The condition is that she signs a leniency agreement. The Qin family will use their connections to try to protect Qin Hao, reduce his sentence as much as possible, or even grant him probation.

If they don't agree, Shengheng's jade business division will run into big problems.

Because Qin Tianping is not only an authority on antique appraisal, but also an expert in the jade industry.

The Qin family's biggest business is the raw stone distribution channel.

Over the years, the Qin family and Sheng Heng have maintained a close relationship, and the two families have always had a good relationship.

The jade business division is one of Shengheng's most profitable departments, and most of the jade gambling and carving experts there were trained by Qin Tianping.

"Alas, the antiques division is already in big trouble. If the jade division also runs into problems, it will lead to a significant shrinkage in other industries."

"The board of directors will definitely have a lot of complaints, and as the chairman and president, I will not escape the blame."

Chen Mo frowned.

"Qin Hao committed a serious crime: attempted murder by hiring someone, he must have other criminal records, and he embezzled so much of Shengheng's assets. How can he possibly get a reduced sentence or probation?"

Gu Qingyao glanced at him.

"We can arrange for Qin Hao to make a significant contribution in prison, or we can find a way to make Long Tai take the blame for all the crimes. With the Qin family's influence, it shouldn't be difficult to do that."

"I understand. So, what are your plans?"

Gu Qingyao looked at him with a solemn expression.

"Chen Mo, are you really good at gambling on stones? Are you confident?"

"I'm very confident."

"If you are truly confident, I will cooperate with you, let you manage the operations, and give you 30% of the profits. However, you must prove to me and put my mind at ease, because this time, I have brought most of Shengheng's liquid funds, which is a matter of life and death for Shengheng."

Chen Mo's lips curled slightly.

Hey, I really have to thank Qin Tianping.

This puts so much pressure on Gu Qingyao.

Wow, if we could use Shengheng's funds to gamble on stones, a 30% return... we'd be rich.

However, it's understandable that Gu Qingyao would be cautious about something this big.

However, the public auction is tomorrow, so we must finalize the agreement before tomorrow morning.

Since we still have time tonight, let's show her what it's like.

"Alright, let's go, I'll show you."

They left the hospital, and Yu Linglong and Luo Na arrived just then.

"Brother Mo, are you alright?" Yu Linglong asked with a worried expression.

"It's nothing, just a fight. Let's go to Jade Street."

I got into Rona's car.

A white Geely, with a string of Dai-style tassels hanging on the rearview mirror.

Yu Linglong sat in the passenger seat, while Chen Mo and Gu Qingyao sat in the back.

A dozen minutes later, the car arrived at the jade street of the border trade market.

It's almost 9 p.m. now, and we'll close in an hour.

There were still many people on the street, and the shops on both sides displayed raw jade and jade artifacts.

Tomorrow is the jade auction, and many people from other places are coming to do jade business.

Upon entering Jade Street, Chen Mo rented a cart at the entrance.

He plans to only buy stocks that are likely to rise sharply tonight, and save the money for tomorrow's public auction.

The first shop at the entrance is a large stall with lots of materials piled up inside.

Chen Mo pushed the cart inside.

Gu Qingyao followed beside her and glanced at the fabrics.

"Chen Mo, in stores like this, all the good materials have been auctioned off tomorrow. The remaining ones are priced too high, so it's hard to find a bargain."

Chen Mo glanced around.

Indeed, most high-performing materials are priced very high and extremely expensive.

But his X-ray vision is no joke.

I spotted the two pieces of material at a glance.

The two pieces of jade are only the size of a fist, grayish, with rough skin and poor appearance. They are priced cheaply, one for 800 and the other for 1,000.

But the interior is full of high-quality goods.

He picked out the two pieces, flipped through them, and pretended to examine them closely.

"Linglong, here, play with it."

Before he came, he said he would make Yu Linglong rich.

Of course, the key point is that this girl's overall score is over 80. She even wanted to sleep with him after drinking. She's practically a potential mother of many children, otherwise he wouldn't have given her money.

Yu Linglong's eyes lit up. After hesitating for a moment, she gritted her teeth and took it.

Mo gave me money for no reason, he definitely wants to sleep with me... But if I refuse, he'll think I'm distancing myself from him... Besides... Nana's mother is seriously ill and needs money... If that day really comes, I'll just sleep with her, anyway, I want to do that too...

"Thank you, Brother Mo." Yu Linglong hesitated for a moment. "Brother Mo, can I ask Nana to buy one?"

"Whatever you want." Chen Mo hadn't expected this girl to have so many thoughts in her mind.

Moreover, she said she'd go to sleep right away, which is so cute and kind.

Lorna quickly refused, saying, "I won't buy it."

Although she was very familiar with Yu Linglong and knew about gambling on stones, she had never gotten involved.

Especially after Yu Linglong's parents got into trouble because of gambling on stones, she wanted to stay away even more.

"Nana, just play around, it's only 800, what if it goes up a lot?"

She thought to herself that since Nana made money through gambling on stones, it didn't count as lending her money.

Lorna gritted her teeth, "Fine, then I'll play with my sister."

They went to pay right away.

A middle-aged man standing nearby saw Yu Linglong and Luo Na's beauty, his eyes lit up, then he looked at the stones in their hands and shook his head.

"Young ladies, these two pieces look like scraps. Don't buy them randomly. Gambling on stones is a game of one cut to riches or poores. If you really want to try, let me help you pick out two pieces."

Yu Linglong smiled.

"Sir, we bought this just for fun, what if the price goes up?"

"Fine, whatever, you've got money to burn."

Gu Qingyao watched from the side, frowning the entire time.

She had studied jade gambling and was very knowledgeable.

Based on her knowledge, she also thought the two stones were worthless.

However, Chen Mo made them buy it.

Does he truly understand, or is he just pretending?

"Brother Mo, can we cut it now?"

"Well, since we're here to gamble on stones, it's good to experience the allure of it."

The stall owner was very enthusiastic when he saw someone wanted to cut stones.

Chen Mo personally drew the lines and then had the master craftsman do the work.

Yu Linglong and Luo Na looked on with anticipation.

A large crowd had gathered around it.

Even the middle-aged man from before didn't leave.

That's the allure of jade gambling; even if you cut off a piece of scrap, it will attract a crowd.

Gu Qingyao's face was also full of anticipation.

If Chen Mo's jade gambling skills are truly impressive, then Sheng Heng might be saved.

Even if Chen Mo doesn't marry her, what's wrong with being his mistress?
