Where is my jade bracelet?

Where is my pendant?

The mother and daughter asked in unison.

Chen Hao feigned surprise and exclaimed, "You've been waiting here for this?"

I thought something terrible had happened.

Seeing the look of surprise and disdain on his face, Chen's mother's lips stiffened for a moment, then she smiled again, "I haven't bothered you these past few days because I've seen how busy you are with work and studies."

Today I want to ask you, where is the bracelet you promised? When will you give it to me?

She waited at home for a long time, but the jade bracelet didn't arrive. Fearing something might have gone wrong, she came to the front gate to wait for people today.

Chen Hao pondered for a moment, then continued to deceive, "The bracelet is made with complicated craftsmanship, so we'll have to wait a little longer."

He can lie through his teeth with ease now.

"We have to wait? Mother's Day has been over for several days already," Chen's mother exclaimed in surprise.

The daylily buds are getting cold from waiting so long, and they're still not ready!

Chen Hao spread his hands, "There's no other way, slow and steady wins the race."

If you had said so earlier, perhaps we could have finished it sooner; but you spoke up too late.

"When will it be ready?" Chen's mother asked anxiously.

She had already boasted, and for the past few days, those wealthy women had been openly and secretly mocking her bare wrists.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been in such a hurry to urge me today.

Chen Hao shrugged and said helplessly, "I don't know either."

I hired a master; how could I dare to rush him?

“Master, you can’t rush him. Masters have their own tempers.” Chen’s mother nodded in agreement. “Xiao Hao, don’t rush him. Let the master focus on making it. I’ll wait a little longer, it’s okay.”

Master craftsmanship combined with top-quality jade will shut those ladies up this time!

Don't think she doesn't know they're talking about her lying behind her back.

Once the bracelet is finished, she'll give them a good slap in the face.

Hearing this, Chen Shan frowned slightly, then said softly, "Xiao Hao, I don't need a master craftsman to make it. Just give me the jadeite rough and I'll process it myself."

"How can that be? It's a birthday present, so it has to be a perfect gift," Chen Hao refused.

But deep down, I was overjoyed. It was quite fun to tease them all the time.

Chen Shan was speechless. "My birthday was a week ago, and your gift is still not ready. That's unacceptable."

At this moment, she sensed something was wrong. It had been so long, and the pendant was still not finished?

She looked at Chen Hao suspiciously. Did he really want to give her the jade pendant?

Seeing Chen Shan's suspicious look, Chen Hao looked at her sincerely and advised, "Third sister, you can't rush things. Just wait patiently, and I'll give it to you soon."

Chen Shan felt that the jade was only truly hers once it was in her own hands, so she shook her head and refused, "Xiao Hao, you should give it to me now..."

Just then, Chen Qian walked in, interrupting Chen Shan before she could finish speaking, "Mom, Third Sister, what are you talking about?"

He looked at the three people in front of him. Could it be that, without his knowledge, his mother and third sister had started to care about Chen Hao again?

How could this be?!

"Didn't Xiaohao say he was going to give me a jade bracelet? I'm just asking about it," Chen's mother explained with a smile.

Chen Qian felt a pang of jealousy and said sourly, "Brother, you're really lucky to have found such a top-quality jade."

After a pause, he added, "I heard that Yu Ling Xuan has received another batch of new raw stones."

Brother, will you take us to buy a few pieces?

He recently crammed a lot of knowledge about jade gambling, and he is full of confidence, feeling that jade gambling is not difficult.

He'll buy a few stones; they're sure to yield green jade.

"You know about Yulingxuan?" Chen Hao asked in confusion, then immediately denied it, "I'm not going. The land auction is tomorrow, and I need to make final revisions."

"Change it?" Chen Qian's expression tightened, and he asked tentatively, "Brother, do you want to change the bottom price?"

Is the hard-won bottom price now useless?

"Change the bottom price? Who said I was going to change it?" Chen Hao asked in surprise.

"Oh, that's all then, brother, you can go ahead and get busy." Chen Qian waved for the person to leave.

Tomorrow, that piece of land will definitely be his.

Chen Hao gave him a half-smile, then turned and left.

As soon as the person left, Chen Shan couldn't wait to ask, "Xiao Qian, what did you just say?"

Jade gambling? You know about it too?

Chen Qian stood tall and proud, saying, "Gambling on stones is nothing more than this, it's very simple."

"Then take me to see them, and you can help me choose a few stones," Chen Shan exclaimed excitedly.

Chen Hao won so much money gambling on stones, and she was tempted to try it too.

She needs to make money too!

Chen Qian had a sudden thought, "Okay."

He's going to make a fortune today.

Seeing that the two had agreed and were about to leave, Chen's mother could no longer maintain her composure and hurriedly said, "Wait, I haven't been out for a while. I'll go with you."

The mother and her two children set off for Yulingxuan.

Back in his room, Chen Hao received a call from Gu Xingzhou, "Brother Hao, a new batch of goods has arrived at Yulingxuan, do you want to go?"

"I'm not going," Chen Hao refused without hesitation.

He's not a real expert in jade gambling; he relies purely on cheating. He's not going to give away money.

Even though he had crammed a lot of knowledge about jade gambling, he still didn't want to gamble.

He didn't want to become poor overnight.

"Brother Hao, let's go have some fun, nothing too high, let's just pick up the bargains," Gu Xingzhou pleaded softly.

Ever since he learned that the five-colored jadeite was found by Brother Hao, he has become obsessed with finding bargains.

I don't buy expensive stones; I only buy cheap ones from street vendors.

"No..." Chen Hao suddenly changed the subject, "Okay, I'll take you to Treasure Pavilion the day after tomorrow, a newly opened jade shop."

This is the shop that Brother Lei reopened.

Brother Lei is one of our own, so of course we'll take care of our own people's business.

"Treasure Pavilion? Never heard of it," Gu Xingzhou asked suspiciously.

He was very familiar with the antique street, but he had never heard of this shop before, and he was really worried that Hao Ge would be scammed.

"It's newly opened, it'll be officially open the day after tomorrow, there will be a promotion, let's go and snag a bargain," Chen Hao explained softly.

Upon hearing the words "finding a bargain," Gu Xingzhou became excited and readily agreed, "Okay, let's go to the Treasure Pavilion."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Hao began working on his business plan.

With the college entrance exam just around the corner, his company needs to expand rapidly.

In his eyes, the initial investment was nothing more than a small-scale operation.

After a long while, Chen Hao heard a commotion downstairs.

Curious, he stood up, went outside, grabbed a servant, and asked, "What's going on downstairs? Why is it so noisy?"

The maid replied with a cheerful expression, "Young Master Qian has made a lot of money gambling on stones and is currently opening champagne to celebrate."

As soon as she finished speaking, the maid quickly ran downstairs.

I heard that the lady was in a good mood and gave a bonus to every servant who spoke auspicious words. She wanted to get one too.

Watching the servant's retreating figure as she hurried downstairs, Chen Hao revealed a playful smile and muttered to himself, "Oh, Chen Qian really knows how to gamble on stones?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step and walked downstairs.
