Reborn into a Farming Family: My 18 Virtuous Wife is a Hero

The young man's hand, tucked into his bag, bounced rhythmically, his eyes slightly narrowed behind his sunglasses.

"Twenty million..."

People around couldn't help but look at them with surprise.

No jade cup on this street has ever fetched more than ten million, apart from the intrinsic value of the jade itself.

Although Su Mu was somewhat surprised, she did not show it on her face, because she knew that this multi-million dollar stone gambling was not over yet.

Cheng Yufeng, the man who desperately needed the jade, looked at the young man who had spent millions and still seemed quite nonchalant with a calm and probing gaze.

In Qing City, only true tycoons and wealthy businessmen can be so nonchalant about spending money like this. Cheng Yufeng thought for a moment, then considered the price and said in a deep voice, "Thirty-five million."

Thirty-five million was his bottom line now. He had searched all the gambling streets in the city but couldn't find any icy jadeite. He had no choice but to come to this street that the common people talked about. He thought he would also leave empty-handed this time. But just as he was about to leave, he heard that someone had bid for icy imperial green jadeite here. He rushed over in a hurry, only to find that someone had bid ahead of him, and the other party was someone he had never seen before.

He knew almost everyone in Qing City, from political figures to wealthy businessmen, but he had never seen this particular person before.

But the crowd erupted the moment he spoke: thirty-five million! No one here had ever seen so much money before. Although they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, the fact that a girl here was going to have it all made them excited.

The young man casually pushed up his sunglasses, shrugged, and said, "Since you want it so badly, then you can have it." With that, he turned and left, his tall figure silently exuding an unspoken tranquility and elegance amidst the surrounding noise.

Seeing his competitor withdraw, Cheng Yufeng breathed a sigh of relief, but his face remained expressionless, with a tense jaw, serious features, and a calm and composed demeanor.

He walked up to Su Mu, his voice calm but with a barely perceptible hint of anxiety, "Little girl, where are your parents?"

Knowing that he was in a hurry, Su Mu didn't delay and said, "I came out alone today. My father and mother are at home. Uncle, if you need it urgently, take this stone first. I'll wait for you here."

Sure enough, Cheng Yufeng's expression brightened instantly when Su Mu finished speaking. Suddenly, a thought popped into his head, and he asked, "Aren't you afraid that I'll take the jade and never come back?"

It wasn't that he would actually do that, but he was somewhat surprised that this little girl trusted him so much after meeting him for the first time, so he suddenly had the urge to tease her.

"Don't be afraid! I believe Uncle won't do that!" A clear, childlike voice rang out, carrying a firm and serious tone that belied her age.

Years later, when Cheng Yufeng recalled this scene, the setting sun cast crimson rays down from the house, illuminating the half of the girl's porcelain-like face that was not obscured. Her dark, bright eyes sparkled with a captivating light. At that moment, his heart trembled violently, unsure whether it was from being moved, touched, or simply shocked.

In the end, Cheng Yufeng still left with the stone. Before leaving, he found a quiet coffee shop for Su Mu at the entrance of Maoliao Street and promised to come over as soon as he finished his work.

Su Mu trusted him, not because she was truly without suspicion and trusted a stranger so much, but because it was only when the young man forfeited that she suddenly remembered Cheng Yufeng's true identity.

The current general manager of Baihui Jewelry, one of the three major jewelry retailers in the country, is rumored to be the only son of the president of Baihui Jewelry. He is handsome, rich, and very upright. How could a man with such wealth be the kind of untrustworthy, treacherous, and cunning person? That's why Su Mu was so at ease letting Cheng Yufeng take the jade first, while she herself quietly played the role of a "beautiful girl" in the coffee shop with Boss Wang.
