Boss Chen said, "Miss Xu, she is a distinguished guest of our Jade Hall."

Lu Shaoyan nodded to Xu Youyou, which was considered a greeting.

Boss Chen waved his hand and called over a jadeite store employee: "Accompany Master Lu and Miss Gu to the warehouse and let them choose from the batch of stones that have just been delivered."

Gu Xueying felt unhappy when she heard this.

Boss Chen didn't even stand up when he saw Lu Shaoyan, but he was extremely polite to Xu Youyou.

Gu Xueying only thought about it for a moment and she understood the difference. Boss Chen treated Gu Shaoyan as if he were a friend's child, while he treated Xu Youyou as if she were a friend of the same generation.

Not only Gu Xueying felt unhappy that she was a head shorter than Xu Youyou for no reason, but even Lu Shaoyan felt this subtle difference.

"Boss Chen, you always accompany me to pick stones every time I come back. Today you are busy accompanying Miss Xu. This is too much of a preference for girls over boys!" Lu Shaoyan complained.

Boss Chen laughed dryly and said, "You little brat! I asked Xiao Liu to accompany you, but you insisted on torturing my old bones!"

It was clearly a joke, but Xu Youyou saw that the corners of Lu Shaoyan's mouth unconsciously pressed down a little, which was a sign of unhappiness.

Coincidentally, Xu Youyou also dislikes Lu Shaoyan.

Lu Shaoyan was originally the young master of a branch of the Lu family. The young master of the main branch of the Lu family died in an accident. Lu Shaoyan was lucky enough to become the heir of the Lu family, and he would be discussing marriage with Gu Xueying in the future.

In his previous life, Lu Shaoyan had never openly made things difficult for Xu Youyou. After all, in his eyes, Xu Youyou was just a piece of trash. A casual greeting from him was enough to trample Xu Youyou into the mud.

But Xu Youyou seriously suspected that she had encountered many setbacks in her previous life, and that the job she found was ruined just two days later. It was very likely that Lu Shaoyan was the mastermind behind it.

Xu Youyou still remembers that when she went to seek an explanation from the supervisor who fired her, she unexpectedly saw the supervisor nodding and bowing to Lu Shaoyan's secretary.

Xu Youyou didn't bother to think about whether it was Lu Shaoyan's order or Gu Xueying's private troublemaking. Anyway, she would attack anyone who was close to Gu Xueying.

Xu Youyou put down the teacup and said to Boss Chen, "Boss Chen, it turns out that the raw stones you sell are not just those outside, but there are also some in the warehouse. You never told me this before."

Boss Chen remained calm and said, "Ms. Xu, I didn't tell you and I didn't ask you. If you asked, could I still hide it from you?"

"If you had told me earlier that there was a warehouse exclusively for VIPs, I might have bought it," said Xu Youyou.

Boss Chen bowed his hands and begged for mercy: "Miss Xu, you have a big mouth. I am not good at speaking to you. Since you are interested in the warehouse, I will take you to see it myself. But if you just look and don't buy, I will be angry."

Boss Chen stood up and greeted Lu Shaoyan and Gu Xueying.

Lu Shaoyan is now pursuing Gu Xueying. He brought the girl here, firstly to show off his financial resources, and secondly to let the girl see some new things.

Unfortunately, Boss Chen did not personally entertain him right away, and Lu Shaoyan felt embarrassed.

Now that the other party was personally accompanying Xu Youyou, he had become a by-product. Lu Shaoyan felt even more unhappy, but he was not sure what Xu Youyou's identity was.

Lu Shaoyan felt that he would remember such a young and beautiful girl as long as he saw her.

But he had never seen a person like Xu Youyou in the wealthy circle of Shanghai.

"Ms. Xu, you don't seem to be from Shanghai. Are you from the capital?" Lu Shaoyan asked.

Xu Youyou didn't even look back at him and said casually, "I'm from Huangshan."

"Are you from Huangshan? Is that the famous scenic spot Huangshan?" Lu Shaoyan asked.

Xu Youyou nodded.

Although Huangshan is very famous, it is also famous for its scenic spots. Lu Shaoyan instinctively thought it was a small place, and there was a bit of weirdness in his eyes when he looked at Xu Youyou.

Gu Xueying, who was standing by, became nervous when she heard the conversation between the two. She was afraid that Xu Youyou would mention the Gu family.

The Gu family kept the fact of the real daughter a secret, and now the wealthy circles in Shanghai have no idea that Gu Xueying is a fake daughter.

Lu Shaoyan continued to test: "Did Miss Xu grow up abroad? Did she return after studying abroad?"

Xu Youyou couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "Mr. Lu, do you think that people who can come here and be entertained by Boss Chen like you must be either rich or noble?"

Xu Youyou spoke bluntly, and Lu Shaoyan did not deny it. Instead, he asked, "Isn't it?"

Xu Youyou said frankly, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint Mr. Lu. I'm an orphan with no parents, and I don't have any huge inheritance to inherit."

Lu Shaoyan's eyes changed instantly, unconsciously showing a hint of contempt.

Xu Youyou felt sad that this circle was still so realistic. Since she was born in a poor family and had no money, she was naturally excluded by these young masters and young ladies. It was the same in her previous life. Even though Xu Youyou was originally the real daughter of the Gu family, she was still troubled by Gu Xueying's friends.

It was Boss Chen who spoke up at this time: "Miss Xu is truly a hero born in her youth. When I was your age, I didn't have your courage. From now on, I, Old Chen, will have to rely on Miss Xu for support."

Lu Shaoyan asked directly: "Boss Chen, did Miss Xu do anything remarkable?"

Boss Chen said with a smile, "A few days ago, when you were not here, Miss Xu brought me an ordinary stone carving and asked me to open it. It turned out to be a masterpiece. When I opened it, it was a top-grade imperial green. In the end, Miss Cen paid 1 billion for it."

Lu Shaoyan vaguely heard that Cen Mingzhu bought a big piece of goods, but he didn't expect that this matter was closely related to Xu Youyou.

"Miss Xu is proficient in gambling on stones?" Lu Shaoyan asked.

Xu Youyou said in an infuriating tone, "I don't understand. I bought it for fun."

Boss Chen said from the side, "You spent hundreds of thousands to buy it for fun, and then you sold it for a billion. If you were lucky, you'd be the king of koi! But you're not doing it honestly. You've made so much money from me, but you don't take care of my business at all. I've only made two hundred yuan so far."

Xu Youyou could see that Boss Chen was quite resentful about this matter, but she just said lightly, "I'm not like those rich young masters and young ladies who don't feel bad about wasting hundreds of millions of dollars. Every dollar of my money must be spent wisely."

When Lu Shaoyan, who had already thrown away tens of millions of dollars, heard this, he felt like someone kicked him in the heart.

He is one of those rich but unskilled and fun-loving young masters from a wealthy family. Since he got into gambling on stones, he has spent half of his annual pocket money on it, but he has not made much money in return.

"Miss Xu is so capable. Could you help me choose a stone later?" Lu Shaoyan said shamelessly.

Hearing this, Xu Youyou stopped and said with a smile, "Master Lu asked me to help choose, but what about Miss Gu? Do you want to throw a few million to have some fun?"
