Chapter 38

"That girl, who is she?"

Liu Ru asks the man beside him. The man, the manager of the whole event center, looks at Meixiu before sneering.

"That's the famous rubbish daughter-in-law of the Zheng family. I don't understand why she's with the Young Lady of Jia family."

"Rubbish Daughter-In-Law?"

The manager nodded before he excused himself and went away as the staff called him. Liu Ru hummed and looked at Meixiu and Suyin, who were both talking to someone.

"Ms. Song, this is Mr. Xia Zhaohui."

"Ms. Song, this is Mr. Zhang Chonglin."

"Ms. Song, this is Mr. Tian Tingguang."

"They are known as the Monsters of Businesses."

The said men all look at Meixiu up and down before sucking their breath. Suyin caught their action.

"Ms. Jia, is she the one you're talking about?"

"Yeah, I never knew you can get scammed by someone who is a low-life."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Tian. Ms. Song is a great woman. She can help me look after the antiques. I've seen her potential already."

Tian Tingguang is known for being merciless when it comes to scammers. He was still starting as a businessman and was scammed numerous times. The reason why he has significant doubt about Meixiu's skills.

Not that he's questioning Suyin and her family's skills when looking for a great antiquary, but looking at Meixiu, she looks like a wife of a wealthy family that even her husband didn't care about her.

Tingguang is sure that her husband is cheating behind her back!

"I'm not questioning what you saw. But, I feel her husband cheating behind her back as we can see how she dressed."

Meixiu stops herself from laughing as she hears what Tingguang just said.

He's rich. No wonder he can cheat without his wife knowing.

Tian Constructions is his business. They build houses, buildings, factories, and any other structures. He is the big man in Mudanxiang, the second largest city.

Mudanxiang is where all the top 1 percent live. Xuyang, on the other hand, is where the rest of the riches live.

In Jiangqiao, they have the Jia family. Earning 100 billion. Tian family, on the other hand, earns 200 billion, tying with another family who lives in another city.

Suyin furrowed her eyebrows.

"What are you saying? Ms. Song only has a wife."

"What?"

The three men all look at Meixiu. They couldn't believe their ears when they heard what Suyin said to them.

Same-sex marriage is already approved?

"That can't be. The government already approved same-sex marriage?"

Xia Zhaohui, who has been quiet since Meixiu was introduced, finally spoke up. Suyin hesitantly looks at Meixiu for answers.

Xia Zhaohui is another big name around Jiangqiao. Xia family is known for their multiple businesses, which started back when Zhaohui's grandfather was still alive.

Although not as big as the Jia family, they take second place in Jiangqiao.

"My wife and I have married abroad. My father-in-law collected and keeps his money to get us married."

"Yeah, Zhaohui. The government won't approve of same-sex marriage. They are homophobic."

Zhang Chonglin, the youngest among them said as he shakes his head with a smile. Chonglin is very keen on politics as his family is known as someone who runs every election.

Zhang family also has other businesses, but their main business is politics. Other than that, they are trying to enter the antique world in hopes, to be successful like the Jia family.

"Hello everyone, the event is about to start."

Liu Ru interrupted their talk. They all sat down with Meixiu pulling a chair for Suyin. Liu Ru sneered secretly as he saw what Meixiu just did.

"Boss, she's probably going to beg for some money after Ms. Jia buys our product."

"Then we'll be able to earn money together with her."

"Yes, we'll ready the antiques."

Liu Ru nodded.

Liu Ru intends to scam Suyin. He made a perfect antique that is believable.

He called it the Red Dragon Stone. It was dipped in a unique coloring pigment that made it shine brightly.

He even ask his other companion how much should he sells it and they told them it was around a million Yuan!

Even his colleagues, he got them a scam.

Then that only means he can scam someone rich.

That's why he targets Suyin.

He knew Suyin doesn't have any knowledge when it comes to antiques. She's starting to learn as her grandmother wants her to handle their business.

And by doing so, she's asking the ones who have more knowledge in the industry.

Liu Ru has been with her since she started learning and he likes it when Suyin believes what he always says.

"Good day! I am here to sell a very good antique that has been lost in history but I bought it back!"

Meixiu raises her eyebrows when Liu Ru said that. Suyin and the others look at Liu Ru in confusion and amazement.

"Liu Ru found a treasure?"

"I think so, we can look forward to it."

Suyin nodded her head at what Tingguang said. She leans a bit towards Meixiu.

"Ms. Song, what do you think?"

"It's hard to say something. Let me hear more about it."

Suyin nodded and lean out. The gentlemen all look at Meixiu with knowing eyes before secretly rolling their eyes at what she said.

"That girl's trying to scam the Jia family."

"Let her, she'll be dead by the end of the day."

"Uh-huh, it's gonna be interesting."

Liu Ru look at the manager and nodded his head. The manager went to the stage with a trolley that has a cloth on top.

"I present to all of you the Red Dragon stone! It was a hidden gem of the Qi Dynasty that was said to be thrown away as they didn't see any value to it."

Meixiu frowned upon hearing what he said.

Red Dragon stone? As far as Meixiu knows, its name is the Ruby Dragon.

It was made with Ruby stones and someone crave a dragon in the middle of it. It also has an aura of a dragon.

If someone held it, they will feel the aura walking through their body.

It will give the person strength and power.

Liu Ru looks at Meixiu before he removes the cloth. Suyin and the gentlemen all stand up to look closely at the stone.

Meixiu could only shake her head.

"The Red Dragon stone symbolizes strength and power. If someone held it, their future will bloom like a flower."

"It is also said that the Red Dragon is a good investment when it comes to someone who has a business because it will also bloom like a flower."

"I need to get that."

"Yeah."

"So, who wants to start bidding? The starting price is half a million Yuan."

"That's a bit lower, right? Ms. Song?"

Suyin looks at Meixiu but the girl smiles at her and shakes her head.

"It didn't even have any value, Ms. Jia."

The gentlemen all look at Meixiu in anger.

Is she judging Liu Ru's ability!?

"Little girl, what are you saying?"

Meixiu stands up and looks down at Chonglin, who asks her the question. She smiles before pointing her fingers at Liu Ru and the said treasure.

"He's faking it. I know what the real Red Dragon stone looks like."

"What?"

"It's not called Red Dragon stone."

Liu Ru huff before he approaches their table. He pushes Meixiu away from his four potential clients out of anger.

"What are you saying? It's real! You're young and don't know how things work!"

"Yeah! Ms. Jia, how did you find her?"

Xia Zhaohui asks, glaring at Meixiu who was on the floor because of Liu Ru's push.

Suyin look between Liu Ru and Meixiu. The taller girl looks at Suyin and saw that she is in conflict.

She sighs and shakes her head.

Grandma did say stick with Ms. Song, but looking at what she told us, she doesn't seem a genius.

Suyin looks at Meixiu, who stands up from the ground and frowns when Meixiu nodded.

"It's fine if you don't believe me. I'm young and don't look like I know everything."

"Yeah, just go and don't disturb Ms. Jia."

Liu Ru glares and pointed at the door. Meixiu raises her hands and nods before she said something to Suyin.

"It's not about age when it comes to antiques. I know a lot more as I studied it when I was still a child. This old man only wants your money..."

"... The Red Dragon stone is not the name of it. It's called the Ruby Dragon. The same description as what he said but a different name."
