So Pure, So Flirtatious

Chapter 119: Yang Ming’s Worries

“What do you mean?” Zhang Bing still didn’t understand.

“Uncle Zhang talked about this before. Regarding the ‘eyes’ who are used to gamble for rocks, a huge part of it just depends on their experience and feeling. There’s nothing based on the outer appearance of the rocks that you could use to differentiate between a good jade and a bad jade. If someone was able to look inside and see whether the jades are good or bad, who else would be selling the stones? Just go and pick out the imperial jades! Even those people who dig for raw stones every day won’t be able to differentiate things clearly, so let’s not talk about those who are gambling for jades! Therefore, I feel that like there would always be some good jades that are left after the others have picked.” Yang Ming explained, “Even though the majority of people thought that they wouldn’t find a good jade from that pile, that doesn’t really mean that we can’t get a good jade from it.”

“I understand.” Zhang Bing nodded his head. “What you mean is that the pile of rocks which people had picked from and the pile of rocks that no one had picked from have the same probability of finding a good jade.”

“That’s the general reasoning.” Yang Ming was spouting nonsense. He couldn’t tell Zhang Bing that he knew there was imperial jade in those stones!

“Right, Yang Ming is right.” Zhang Jiefang nodded his head too. “But I think, Yang Ming, your luck isn’t the same as a normal person’s!”

“Hehe, just lucky, just lucky.” Yang Ming said, “When I picked up this stone, I felt like someone was telling me to do this. I didn’t expect to pick such a treasure. If Boss Wu knew I have taken one of his imperial jades, he would have a heartache!”

“That’s not gonna happen. He would probably be envious of it. People who want to run a long-term business won’t ruin his reputation because of such a small profit. Well, yours won’t yield a small profit, but Wu Facai won’t ruin his reputation because of this.” Zhang Jiefang shook his head and explained, “Especially in the business of jade gambling, if Wu Facai showed regret when he sees a customer open up an imperial jade, then that will be the end of his business!”

After Yang Ming heard this, he also thought that Zhang Jiefang was right, so he didn’t mind.

The imperial jade used to sit on a table in Yang Ming’s room. However, now that Zhang Jiefang knew that this was an imperial jade, he wouldn’t allow Yang Ming to leave it out in the open in his room. One must not have the intention to harm, but the intention to guard against harm. Who could guarantee that this hotel was 100% safe? The staff members were usually part-time workers. Who could guarantee that they won’t commit a crime if they saw valuables?

The locals of Tengchong knew more or less about the price of imperial jade. If an item that was worth a few hundred thousand yuan was left in the room, it was tough to be sure that no one would be tempted by it.

So Zhang Jiefang directly wrapped the imperial jade in a plastic bag, then he put it into his own suitcase with a password lock.

At night, Yang Ming called home with his new cell phone. He had been out for three days, and Yang Ming hadn’t contacted his parents yet, so he was afraid that his parents would worry about him.

As expected, Mother Yang picked up the phone. When she heard Yang Ming’s voice, she asked anxiously, “Big Ming, how are you? Are you used to living there? Do you feel sick?”

“Mom, don’t worry. I’m fine. I’m staying at a three-star hotel. The washroom is much higher class than our house!” Yang Ming comforted her. “I’m eating and sleeping well too. There are many snacks here. It’s just that I can’t bring them back for you and dad.”

“Bring what? Mom is so old already. Is there anything I haven’t eaten? Would I still care about those snacks?” Although Mother Yang said this, she was still happy that she had such a filial son.

“Hehe, let me see. Are there any ziplock bags? I will bring some for you.” Yang Ming smiled and said, “Are you and dad still fine?”

“We are both fine. Oh yeah, Big Ming, your classmate had just called you.” Mother Yang said.

“Classmate? Who?” Yang Ming’s breathing became rapid. He had a feeling that the person was Chen Mengyan.

As expected, Mother Yang said, “It’s Chen Mengyan. Give her a call after you come back.”

“…” Yang Ming gazed toward the washroom. Lan Ling was showering. He couldn’t help but sigh, “Okay, I understand.”

“En, this girl is quite good. Invite her over as a guest after you come back. Let us get to know each other.” After Yang Ming finished his exam, Mother Yang didn’t stop Yang Ming from having a romantic relationship.

“I’ll talk to you later, mom. She is just a girl. She couldn’t simply be a guest at other people’s house!” Yang Ming said agitatedly.

“Why can’t she come? I have asked Chen Mengyan to be our guest, and she agreed too.” Mother Yang was certainly satisfied with Chen Mengyan, so she wanted to match them together.

“Mom, why… nevermind. I’ll discuss it with you when I get back.” Yang Ming was helpless. If this happened a few days earlier, Yang Ming would be happy. But now? Yang Ming felt that he couldn’t face Chen Mengyan anymore.

He wanted to have his cake and eat it. This was his dream, but the reality didn’t work that way. After he hung up the phone, Yang Ming gave a bitter smile and shook his head. He frowned and fell into deep thoughts…

“Yang Ming, what are you thinking?” Lan Ling hugged him from behind. Her soft breasts pressed on his back. She didn’t wear any clothes!

Yang Ming forced a smile, and he pushed away Lan Ling lightly. “I’m sweating all over. Won’t you get dirty after you had your shower?”

“I’m fine. I just love the scent of your body.” Lan Ling didn’t notice Yang Ming’s bitterness.

“I’m going to shower.” Yang Ming stood up and walked to the washroom.

Lan Ling looked at his back and sighed sadly. She had heard most of his conversation. she was only playing dumb. Should I tell him?

Although Lan Ling’s identity was in disrepute when she met Yang Ming, no matter how disreputable it was, Lan Ling was a girl too, and she was jealous. She couldn’t give up her right to like Yang Ming because he bought her first time.

Because he was thinking of Chen Mengyan, Yang Ming only hugged Lan Ling that night. They didn’t do anything else. Lan Ling was unusually well-behaved, and she didn’t flirt with Yang Ming.

On the next day, nothing special happened. Yang Ming and Lan Ling woke up very late. Yang Ming was apologetic when he went into Zhang Bing’s room. He didn’t expect that Zhang Bing had just woken up too because he was brushing his teeth in the washroom.

“Yang Ming, after I go to university. I’m eating all your money. You’re such a tycoon!” Zhang Bing couldn’t speak clearly with toothpaste in his mouth.

“Come on. If I’m a tycoon, then you’re old money.” Yang Ming said cheerfully, “I still have to save that money for marrying a wife!”

“Why are you still marrying a wife? Isn’t Chen Menyan your first wife…” Zhang Bing felt something wrong when he stopped halfway. Lan Ling was still standing beside Yang Ming, so he said with embarrassment, “You have Lan Ling already. Why are you still earning money?”

Lan Ling acted as if nothing happened. She was still showing a cute expression. She just bit her lips unknowingly.

Yang Ming let out a laugh. He didn’t want to continue this topic anymore. “Where’s Uncle Zhang? What’s the plan for today?”

“My dad? I don’t know. I just woke up. I’ll call him later. Of course, it would be better if I caught him doing something bad on the spot. Yesterday, I was thinking of asking dad to buy me a BMW.” Zhang Bing gave a devious smile.

“This matter cannot be spread around. If you spread it around, you wouldn’t get what you want. Your dad will suffer from your mom’s wrath, and kneel to death. You should think about the consequences.” Yang Ming said without emotion.

Zhang Bing let out a hehe. He was just casually saying it. He didn’t have the guts to catch the old guy in his dirty act.

After Zhang Bing was ready, they went to Zhang Jiefang’s room. They knocked on the door for quite a while. Zhang Jiefang only opened the door with sleepy eyes. “Oh, Zhang Bing, do you guys have anything?”

“Dad, you haven’t woken up yet?” Zhang Bing knew that he must have woken his father.

“En, I didn’t sleep well last night. You guys go and play. I still want to sleep a little more.” Zhang Jiefang nodded his head.

“Dad, you slept quite early yesterday. It is already ten o’clock. Why are you still sleeping?” Zhang Bing was skeptical. But a moment later, his face showed an ambiguous expression. “Is it…”

“Son, stop making up stories Wasn’t your dad just thinking about things on business?” Zhang Jiefang waved his hand impatiently. “I’m very sleepy. I’ll call you after I wake up!”

After he spoke, Zhang Jiefang was about to close the door. Suddenly a lazy female voice came out from the room. “Boss, who is that? Why so early? It’s so noisy that I can’t even sleep…”

“Heh?” Zhang Bing and Yang Ming looked at each other… We had just spoken about it. Was there such a coincidence?

Zhang Jiefang was embarrassed. “I forgot to turn off the TV. I’m turning it off. You guys enjoy yourself…”

“Dad, I…” Zhang Bing wanted to say something but was interrupted by Zhang Jiefang.

“Don’t disturb me! If not, you won’t get your car!” As Zhang Jiefang said that, he closed the door.
