Chapter 32
Mr. President Dotes On His Wife Crazily
âSome people buy a stone and become rich overnight. But some people spend a lot of money in buying a stone, then when itâs cut open, itâs only white inside. And then all of their properties are gone. Itâs like they can be pushed into heaven or hell in an instant. But not everyone can experience such a thrill. â
Lan Xiao was in a daze, listening to the system babbling on some information about gambling on stones.
But it was a pity that she didnât understand anything at all. She was so confused.
The rebellious girl saw the stunned expression on Lan Xiaoâs face. She thought that Lan Xiao got frightened.
A hint of mockery flashed across her eyes. She then put on an anxious look and said in a doleful voice, âLan Xiao, what should we do? Xingbo lost so much money on stone gambling, so those people kidnapped him. They planned to chop his fingers to pay off his debt.â
Lan Xiao was so shocked that she felt like her scalp was tingling. She asked, âHow much did he borrow to bet on the stone?â
The rebellious girl raised her hand and showed her five fingers in front of Lan Xiaoâs face.
âFive... Five hundred thousand?â
The rebellious girl shook her head.
âFive... Five million?â
The rebellious girl shook her head again.
âFive... Fifty million?â Lan Xiaoâs tongue trembled with surprise.
The rebellious girl stared at her with watery eyes, bit her lips, and nodded.
Lan Xiao was utterly stunned. Fifty million? Was it a joke?
What kind of stone did that idiot buy using RMB fifty million? Was it gold? Lan Xingbo didnât have brain problems at all. He definitely didnât have a brain.
Lan Xiao was so angry that her heart ached. Although the Lan family was the No. 1 jeweler in Ling City, they didnât have much working capital. Besides, she remembered clearly that the jewelry industry was generally stagnant this year, and the sales fell year after year.
Most of the Lan familyâs jewelry stores in Ling City barely maintained small profits.
Paying so much money to the loan shark would only add insult to injury in their companyâs current situation.
She couldnât let her father know about it. Absolutely not!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
After all, Lan Xiao believed that even if Lan Xingbo would be rescued, Lan Shanhua would definitely break his legs.
Lan Xiao was so anxious that beads of sweat streamed down her forehead for a while.
Her sweaty hands balled into fists, uneasiness sweeping over her.
The system rolled its eyes, sighed, and thought, âThis woman is really stupid. She has such a great ability, but she never uses it. Is she just going to waste it?â
âMiss Lan, let me remind you that you have the magical ability now,â the system said.
Lan Xiao was taken aback for a moment.
âWhat?â The system fell silent for a few seconds.
What should it do? Could it change the host?
Of course, the answer was no. The system did not expect that after waiting for hundreds of years, the host it could get was a stupid woman.
All of a sudden, an idea came into Lan Xiaoâs mind. She slapped her forehead hard.
âWait a minute. Handsome system, do you mean that with my magical ability, I can clearly detect the quality of the jadeite in the stone?â
The system shrugged proudly and said, âLet me reiterate. Currently, there is no device that can detect the internal structure of the raw jade. But you, you now have the ability to detect the inner structure of the raw jade. So, donât you think you get very lucky? â
For a few seconds, Lan Xiao was stunned. Then she suddenly laughed excitedly.
âGreat!â
The rebellious girl was rendered speechless.
Lan Xiaoâs younger brother was kidnapped, and his fingers might be cut off. But here she was, so happy and excited. She even exclaimed that it was great?
How shallow was her relationship with Lan Xingbo? Or did the rebellious girl come to the wrong person?
