Chapter 12: Marrying Too Early

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Meng Ying went to sleep the moment she got into the car. Ah Da woke her up when they arrived.

She lifted her eyelids and looked at this unfamiliar place. “Where is this?”

“Sir is waiting for you inside.” Ah Da didn’t approve of this silly woman being the Madam of the family, but the Ninth Master had already married her, so he had to admit it even if he didn’t want to.

He opened the car door respectfully and invited her out of the car.

Meng Ying covered her mouth and yawned before getting out of the car lazily.

Ah Da walked in front of her.

They were in a private clubhouse. It was very quiet inside, but there were many service staff.

Meng Ying had seen a lot of things in the Honesty World. The missions she accepted involved people that weren’t ordinary, so she had been to higher-end places like this.

They stopped in front of two golden doors, guarded by two men in suits.

Ah Da handed him a name card before they opened the door.

Meng Ying sized up those two people. They looked like they had some fighting skills.

It seemed that this place was not for ordinary people either.

When the door opened, there was another world inside.

People were coming and going, and the place was filled with glittering gold light.

The venue was large, and there were many stones placed inside.

Most of the people were circling the stones, while some were looking at them carefully with magnifying glasses.

There were also people surrounding them on both sides.

There was also the sound of machines cutting the stones.

People were quiet at times, sometimes excited.

Sometimes, one could even hear people wailing.

Meng Ying was familiar with this. It was stone gambling!

Compared to gambling with cards, this was more ruthless.

As the saying went, “One cut to life, one cut to death, one cut to covering yourself with linen.”

Some relied on a single cut of the stones to become rich.

Some people lost their entire family’s fortune with a single cut.

There were also those who gambled on their wealth and their lives.

Meng Ying heard another sorrowful cry and knew that someone had fallen from heaven to hell.

Ah Da brought Meng Ying to Mu Yuansheng.

Mu Yuansheng was talking to someone else. When he saw Meng Ying, he patted the empty seat beside him. “Sit.”

This was the first time he had asked her to sit beside him.

Meng Ying was happy and went over to hold his hand.

Mu Yuansheng moved his fingers, but before he could retract them, she had already grabbed them.

“…”

“She is…” A man wearing a gold chain and a million-dollar watch beside him smoked a cigar and squinted at Meng Ying.

Mu Yuansheng let her hold his finger. “My wife.”

“Mr. Mu is actually married at such a young age.” The other party was surprised.

“I don’t want to wait any longer after meeting a suitable person.”

Mu Yuansheng was warm and polite.

Meng Ying looked at his face. He didn’t even blush even as he lied.

“You’re right. I was going to introduce my daughter to you.”

The moment he finished speaking, they heard a soft and sweet voice. “Daddy.”

The rich and overbearing man was all smiles as he waved. “Jiaojiao, come here quickly.”

Zou Jiao came over and saw Mu Yuansheng. Her eyes lit up and she had the most beautiful smile on her face. However, when she saw the woman sitting with Mu Yuansheng, her expression changed drastically.

“Why are you here?” Zou Jiao stood in front of Meng Ying, her delicate face twisted in anger.

Meng Ying recognized Zou Jiao.

The last time she spoke ill of her behind her back, she had rewarded her with a cake on her face.

“Do you know each other?” Zou Zhengguo looked at them.

Zou Jiao gritted her teeth. “This is Meng Ying.”

Zou Zhengguo was surprised.

Wasn’t Meng Shiliang’s elder daughter Meng Ying?

She was an ugly woman and a fool. How could she be such a beautiful and charming woman?

Meng Ying smiled brightly, completely disregarding Zou Jiao’s hatred.

“Dad, it was her last time. She insulted me, Xinyu and Yunqian.” What happened last time was a huge stain on her life.

She could not calm down whenever she thought about it.

She had long wanted to teach Meng Ying a lesson. Today, she finally saw her!

Zou Zhengguo’s face darkened.

Meng Shiliang was already not on good terms with him when it came to business, how dare his foolish daughter embarrass his daughter?!

He had to settle this score.

He glanced at Mu Yuansheng but didn’t take it to heart.

He saw that this young man had an extraordinary bearing when he came previously, so they sat down and chatted for a while. The surname Mu was not commonly seen in Yu City, but if he was married to Meng Shiliang’s silly daughter, he was probably not someone important.

He immediately dropped all pretenses.

If not for the fact that he was in the clubhouse right now, he would have immediately hired someone to take action for him.

“Jiaojiao, come here.” Zou Zhengguo could barely keep his composure.

He signaled for his daughter to sit beside him. “Let’s not talk about anything else today. Keep your eyes and ears open later and make more connections here. You’re the daughter of the Zou family, and you’ll inherit the family business in the future. When you’re strong enough, those Tom, Dick, and Harry would not dare to threaten you anymore.”

Zou Zhengguo comforted Zou Jiao. It was obvious that he was trying to say something.

“You’re right.” Zou Jiao glared at Meng Ying hatefully. She would return the humiliation she had suffered.

Mu Yuansheng glanced at Meng Ying. She was like a child who didn’t understand what Zou Zhengguo meant. She just stuck to him and interlocked her fingers with his.

“Do you want to go play?” Mu Yuansheng’s voice was sexy and attractive, and most importantly, he sounded extremely gentle.

His loving gaze was like water, flowing into her heart.

Meng Ying enjoyed it. She wanted more.

But she knew very well that this man was like a rabbit. He would turn hostile if she made him angry.

It would be difficult for him to show her a little more gentleness, let alone asking him to stay by her.

“Yes.” Meng Ying stared straight at the man in front of her. She was afraid that she would miss his beauty if she blinked.

Zou Jiao, who was watching from the side, said mockingly, “What a love-struck fool.”

Meng Ying couldn’t be bothered with Zou Jiao. She only had eyes for Mu Yuansheng.

“Since Mr. Mu is interested in playing, why don’t we go together?” Zou Zhengguo stood up and invited him.

He wanted to see how much money Meng Shiliang had for his daughter and son-in-law to be so cocky.

Mu Yuansheng asked Meng Ying, “Do you have any objections?”

Meng Ying shook her head.

“Let’s go together then.”

Mu Yuansheng had told Zou Zhengguo that he didn’t know much about stone gambling, so Zou Zhengguo thought that he must be here to broaden his horizons.

The kind of son-in-law who marries into the bride’s family must be only doing it for money.

He would do whatever it took as long as he had the chance to be rich.

Marrying Meng Ying was the best proof.

Mu Yuansheng accompanied Meng Ying around the place.

She seemed to have understood what was going on, but it also looked like she didn’t.

“This.”

Meng Ying stopped and pointed at a raw stone the size of an adult’s head.

The price was 1.5 million dollars.

It wasn’t expensive, but people who often played stone gambling knew that the stone she pointed at couldn’t contain any jade.

Those who saw Meng Ying buying the beautifully packaged raw stone started to mock her. It was obvious that she only knew how to spend money and had no idea how this industry worked.

“Meng Ying, do you want to ask your dad first? If your dad won’t give you money, how are you going to pay for that?” Zou Jiao crossed her arms and mocked.

She looked beautiful without the horrible makeup, but it was a pity that she wasn’t smart.

Beauty couldn’t salvage those without brains.

Meng Ying glanced at her. “How childish…”

“You’re already an adult, yet you still need to ask your father for money.”

“You…” Zou Jiao didn’t expect this fool to be able to refute her today.

Zou Zhengguo held Zou Jiao down, signaling her to calm down.

‘Anyway, Meng Ying shall die here today.’

“The Meng family is rich, so this price is nothing to them.” Zou Zhengguo smiled. “Miss, why don’t you take a look at that piece? It’s big, and professionals have marked it, meaning that it can produce green jade. If you earned a sum of money here, your dad will be very happy.”

Zou Zhengguo pointed at another round stone that was as tall as a person. Many people were looking at it with professional tools, but their eyes lit up and then dimmed immediately.

Afterwards, they started shaking their heads before leaving.

It was because the raw stone was priced at twelve million dollars.

Zou Jiao understood what her father meant and the anger she felt instantly disappeared.

One million and five hundred thousand was nothing compared to twelve million.

Things would be fun if Meng Ying foolishly cut the twelve-million raw stone.

“Uncle Zou is right!”

Meng Ying walked around the big rock and nodded in satisfaction. “Let’s cut this.”
