Kicked out of a wealthy family? I became a rich and beautiful woman thanks to the system.

"Sell! Of course we'll sell!"

Looking at Wen Yao, Song Zhiqian still felt that she was just a broken stone.

However, Wen Yao did not expect that the girl in front of her, who looked like she was not yet an adult, would have such insight and be able to tell with the naked eye that this stone was not simple.

Xie Ling was taken aback. It was the first time she had been rejected so bluntly, which made her very uncomfortable.

"With this stone in hand, you will never leave Lingyu."

Wen Yao tilted her head

"Isn't this just an ordinary stone? Why can't it leave Lingyu?"

Xie Ling took a deep breath. Indeed, apart from her, few people had such insight.

Wen Yao stepped into Yu Run Lou, and Xie Ling hesitated for a moment before following suit.

Only Song Zhiqian walked at the very end.

"No, why is nobody paying attention to me?!"

The jade ornaments at Yu Run Lou are all clearly priced, unlike those in other markets, and of course, there is no overcharging of customers.

As soon as Xie Ling stepped through the door, a waiter bowed respectfully.

"Miss!"

Wen Yao raised an eyebrow. No wonder he could drive such a luxury car; he must be the young master of the family.

"I'll trade you my stones; you can have as many as you want."

Wen Yao couldn't help but chuckle. She suddenly found this girl a bit silly, but also quite cute, as she didn't even know how to fool people.

"No, if your stone were as good as mine, you wouldn't want to trade stones with me."

Xie Ling gritted her teeth.

She was simply a jade prodigy; she received an imperial green jade bracelet for her first birthday, and her father gave her the Jade Runlou brand when she was nine.

When I was twelve, I got tired of jadeite and started playing with raw stones. My fifteenth birthday present was a mine.

From then on, the best stones from the mine were sent to Yu Run Lou, while those rejected by Yu Run Lou were sent to Jade Street. The stones that were rejected even further became slag and were sent to a place that was, in her opinion, a garbage dump, where the workers could choose whatever they wanted.

Xie Ling is only seventeen years old now.

"However, you can look at your stones too."

Xie Ling's lips curled up slightly.

"My office is upstairs."

She then took Wen Yao and Song Zhiqian to the rooftop.

The interior decoration of the office is completely different from that of Yurun Building.

The entire room is decorated in pink tones and filled with all sorts of fluffy toys.

Xie Ling's stones were placed on a shelf; these stones were all ones that Xie Ling had spotted at first glance and collected.

"Pick whatever you like."

Wen Yao pretended to know a lot and looked at it carefully, but in reality, she was already having doubts.

"System, come out and help me take a look at the stone."

No need to look anymore. All the stones on this shelf combined aren't as valuable as the ones you have.

Wen Yao's expression darkened; how valuable must what she held be...?

However, there are some good things, but they're not here...

Wen Yao's eyes lit up, and she pointed to the plush bear on the carpet.

"I don't want any of the stones on your shelf. I want the stone next to the little bear."

Xie Ling would often hold and play with truly good stones in her hands. She treated stones like her own dolls, believing that good stones were alive.

"you!"

Xie Ling thought Wen Yao was really capable.

However, her furrowed brows quickly relaxed.

"You know so much about these things?"

Wen Yao maintained her smile and said modestly

"Only a little."

Actually, she doesn't understand anything.

Song Zhiqian, standing to the side, was the most bewildered.

"No, what do you mean? Aren't these all stones? How can you tell?"

Still, no one paid any attention to him.

“It’s not that I’m arrogant, but I used to think I was the person on Lingyu Island who knew the most about stones. Now you’re the second person who knows them best.”

Wen Yao's lips twitched.

That's so straightforward! She thought this girl was going to crown herself number one, but it turns out she's still in second place.

Xie Ling now felt a sense of camaraderie, and his earlier aggressive stance of trying to snatch the stone was gone.

"You've come all the way from China just to buy stones?"

"Hmm...that's true, but I'm more here to learn and get to know more jade merchants."

Xie Ling chuckled lightly.

"Then you've finished everything. First of all, you don't need to study. There aren't many people here who know more about stones than you do."

Secondly, my name is Xie Ling, and I am a jade merchant. You can buy jade from Yu Run Lou and then sell it in China.

Wen Yao exclaimed in surprise

"You?! You look very young."

"I'm not young anymore, I'm already seventeen. My great-grandfather smuggled himself from Dragon Kingdom to Lingyu when he was fifteen, and became Lingyu's biggest smuggler when he was seventeen."

My grandfather joined the army when he was seventeen and, together with the locals, overthrew the Lingyu Dynasty.

My father was already the richest man in Lingyu when he was seventeen.

The two people opposite were surprised again.

"You're also surnamed Xie? I heard that the leader of the Star Moon Society is also surnamed Xie. I just heard the Star Moon Society members and militiamen firing cannons on the mountain."

"Oh, the chairman is my dad. They just set off firecrackers again? You probably haven't seen that before. Don't worry, they won't hurt you. The people of the Star Moon Society have great respect for the people of China."

It turned out that the person in front of her was the young lady of the Star Moon Society, and Wen Yao became curious about this civil war.

Why did a civil war happen?

Xie Ling explained

"It's because of a conflict of interest, but Danley's statement is a bit excessive."

The Danley Consortium is a remnant of the Danley Kingdom's colonization of Lingyu. Long ago, Lingyu was a colony of the Danley Kingdom. Fortunately, Lingyu became independent decades ago, but the Danley forces did not completely withdraw and left behind a group of Danley merchants.

My father deeply hated the Danleys; the colonial period was extremely difficult. Now, those people have formed the Danley Corporation, and my father started the civil war to drive them out.

As for the military, my grandfather was a soldier, and my father is friends with the current prime minister. The Danley Group's militia is actually a group of forces from the colonial period.

Wen Yao nodded, indicating that she understood.

"So, you're also from China?"

"In terms of bloodline, yes, because our family only marries people from the Dragon Kingdom. When my great-grandfather got old, he really wanted to go back to the Dragon Kingdom, but it was easy to leave, but difficult to go back."

Wen Yao had also heard that a hundred or two hundred years ago, many people from the Dragon Kingdom went south to do business, and Xie Ling's great-grandfather should have gone to Lingyu at that time.

"Okay, I think I understand now. I just saw some pretty jade downstairs. Xie Ling, I'd like to buy some."

The two are currently getting along fairly well.

"Okay, I'll go down with you and pick some out."

After saying that, the three of them went downstairs together.

Song Zhiqian was unaware of what he had just heard, but thankfully he didn't say anything more.

"Hello Miss."

As soon as Xie Ling arrived downstairs, several waiters greeted her in Lingyu language.
