Chapter 291
But spare her from being as unreliable as she is.
This set of jewellery was given to her by the old lady in the past, saying that she originally wanted to keep it for her as a dowry, but since she wasn’t going to get married, she simply gave it to her.
This shows the significance of the jewellery set.
Ji Yunshu looked at him and moved his lips to say something.
In the end it held back.
After all, Lu Lanzhi was Biden Lu’s own aunt, and because Biden Lu’s parents had died young, she had naturally shone a lot of light on him since childhood, so even if she sensed that something had happened to her, it was hard to say it too bluntly to his face.
Jenny also understood Ji Yunshu’s thoughts.
What was just different was that she suddenly remembered that a few days ago, Lu Lange had suddenly come to the Maple Bridge villa and mentioned the antique thing.
“Biden, do you remember four days ago when my aunt came to the villa to throw a tantrum about how I shouldn’t have failed to put out her antiques?”
Biden Lu nodded, “Remember, what’s wrong?”
“I always feel there is something strange about this, aunt never cared about this before, why suddenly came over to ask about those antiques, do you think it could be that she herself wanted to take them back, but was not good enough to open up to me, only to deliberately seize some, originally wanted to provoke me to return things to her, only later you came back……”
Biden Lu frowned.
Ji Yunshu didn’t know what had happened that day, but he was a smart man, and with just a few words from Jenny, he already understood a general idea.
He looked deep into the eyes of Biden Lu.
Lu Jing was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice, “I’ve sent Vicky to investigate this matter, I expect the results will come out in the next two days, no matter what the reason is, this set of jewellery shouldn’t have ended up in this kind of place, when I find out later, I’ll ask my aunt for an explanation.”
Only then did Jenny nod.
Ji Yunshu saw the situation and reached out to pat his shoulder.
“Don’t be too distracted, although the Lu family is now in a sensitive position and can easily be pulled into a small fuss, but it’s not at the point where the grass is always greener, so let’s find out what’s going on first.”
Biden Lu nodded.
The group left with a lot of worry.
Biden Lu first sent Ji Yun Shu back to his research institute, which was only after he drove back with Jenny Jing.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived home, I received a call from Vicky.
“President, I’ve found out what you asked me to find out earlier.”
Biden Lu moved, his face sinking.
“You said.”
Vicky then told him the results of the investigation one by one.
Seeing that Biden Lu’s face was becoming more and more sunken, Jenny Jing worriedly walked over to him and shook his hand.
In a half voice, he said, “I know, you send someone to keep an eye on it, don’t do anything rash yet, wait for my orders to act.”
On the other side, Vicky responded in a deep voice, and only then did Biden Lu hang up the phone.
Jenny saw him hang up the phone and asked, “Did you find out?What the hell happened?”
Biden Lu sneered.
He didn’t say it directly, but looked at Jenny.
“You’ll go somewhere with me tomorrow, and you’ll see when you get there.”
Jenny: “……..”
……..
The next day, Jenny took special leave from the crew, and early in the morning, he followed Biden Lu out the door.
They sat in the car, with Summers driving and Mo Nan sitting on top, and headed to the nearby gambling quarry together.
Before leaving the house, when Biden Lu gave out the address, Jenny Jing had actually gotten a few points.
It’s just still inevitable that there are some surprises.
It is important to know that the Lu family’s discipline is extremely strict, and to have developed to this day, in addition to the Lu family’s own ability, the extremely strict discipline of self also counts.
The Lu family strictly forbids their offspring from getting involved in pornography, gambling, drugs, etc., especially gambling.
Gambling stones, although not gambling, but more or less the nature of the game of luck in it.
And if the jewellery set was really Lucian’s own to sell, it means she’s at the end of her rope.
If you can play gambling stones to this extent, then the nature of the game is similar to gambling.
The group drove for more than half an hour and finally arrived at the gambling venue.
Today’s gambling session was rather large, and a few people parked the car just before they reached the entrance.
Inside was a sea of people, rubbing shoulders, each with a look of gravity, curiosity, or excitement on their faces.
Several people walked inside slowly.
Inside is the gambling hall, which will display all kinds of freshly mined stones, and if you are lucky, you may be able to get rich overnight by gambling on one.
It’s also possible to be unlucky and lose everything you own overnight.
Thus, this gambling stone is actually a more exciting existence than gambling cards.
“How many of you, are you here to quarry today as well?Haven’t seen you guys before, first time here?”
As soon as we got inside, someone came up and accosted us.
Jenny was wearing a cap with a lower brim today, so there was no fear of being recognized.
She took one look at the man and saw that he was bald, with a large belly and a face that glowed with enthusiasm and excitement, like a hungry wolf seeing a piece of fat, and was somehow uncomfortable.
Vicky stopped in front of them and said to the man, “Let’s just look around.”
The man rubbed his hands together and smiled, “Okay, then feel free to look around, if there’s anything you don’t understand, you’re welcome to consult over there.”
He said, reaching out and pointing to an information desk not far away.
Jenny raised his eyes and smiled offhandedly.
I didn’t realize that the service was quite attentive.
She nodded and whispered, “Thanks for the reminder.”
The pair conveniently walked away, ignoring them.
Jenny and his group of four people wandered around the venue, only to see some stones of different sizes, all marked with numbers placed there.
In front of each stone were a number of people, pointing at it and listening to what they seemed to be discussing about the stone.
If you have a fancy one, you can naturally do it on the spot.
Once you buy the stone, you can choose to cut it right here or take it away and find someone to cut it yourself.
Jenny whispered, “Do you think we can find our aunt this way?”
Biden Lu’s tone was low and cold.
“Today’s is a large gambling session, supposedly a new batch of raw rocks that were mined some time ago, and if she’s as hooked on gambling as we suspect, she’ll be here.”
Jenny nodded.
Lu Lanzhi looked neurotic, but in reality, since she was from the Lu family, she naturally wouldn’t be too easy to deal with.
Even though Jenny Jing and Biden Lu had noticed that something was wrong with her, she might not admit it as long as she hadn’t caught the presentiment.
Therefore, they could only take advantage of today and come right over.
After circling around, they didn’t wait for Lu Lanzhi, but on the way, they met several waves of people who came to take them to see the original stone.
There were staff and other enthusiastic guests.
Seeing that several people were dressed in unusual clothes and extremely good temperament, they were not ordinary people at a glance, so they pulled a chill.
Chapter 292
Naturally, Biden Lu wouldn’t pay attention to them, but Jenny Jing didn’t want to attract attention so as not to alert the snake, so he had to deal with them politely.
Just then, Mo Nan suddenly whispered, “She’s here.”
Jenny Jing’s heart was in awe, and when he looked up, he saw at the doorway, a lavishly dressed woman, accompanied by a man, walking in together.
The woman was wearing a wool coat, carrying the latest limited edition bag from a major brand, her hair was meticulously tousled, and her entire body exuded a sense of nobility and sophistication inside and out.
Yet she had a sad look on her face as she walked inside, listening to the man beside her.
Halfway there, she suddenly stopped, turned to the man beside her, and said a few words with an angry face.
Because they were too far apart, Jenny didn’t hear what they were saying.
Just look at both of them, they don’t look too good, so it’s probably not a pleasant word.
She whispered to Biden Lu, “Are we going over there now?”
Biden Lu’s face was slightly pale, “Wait, let’s take a look first.”
Jenny nodded.
After only a few minutes of arguing, the two men stopped arguing, and the man turned away, while Lu Lanzhi remained where he was, and they broke up unhappily.
Jenny Jing smiled, “It looks like these two have an unusual relationship, have you met them before?”
Biden Lu shook his head.
Jenny thought about it and turned to command Vicky.
“Sumeru, you go out and follow that man and check out his background and history.”
Vicky nodded in response and turned around.
The three of them continued to stand there, waiting for a while, only to see that Lucian seemed to have gathered himself and started to walk inside.
The three of them kept up, and it wasn’t long before they saw her find the man who had come over to talk to Biden Lu and the others when she had just entered, pulling out a whole bag of cash from her bag and giving it to the others.
Biden Lu’s face was slightly pale.
Lucian is negotiating with the other side.
“Here’s a hundred thousand, it’s not a lot of money, but that’s all I can come up with at the moment, you promised me before that you wouldn’t let me lose any money, and look what I’ve lost.I don’t care, you’re going to make me earn it back this time!I’m not done with you if I don’t make it back!”
The other party touched the note on his hand and smiled, “Why is Miss Lu so overbearing?In stone gambling, it’s all about luck. Besides, which of the original stones I introduced to you didn’t produce any jade?It’s just that you’re so greedy yourself, you have to make a big profit all at once, what can I do?”
At the mention of this, Lucian got angry.
“Isn’t that what you encouraged me to do?Saying that this batch is all the ones you’ve shown to the higher-ups, that they all have treasures in them, and that you’ll let me be a shareholder here if I buy a certain amount, I’ve taken you at your word, so how can you shirk your responsibility now?”
The other party smiled, “OK, I won’t say those useless words, the matter is over anyway, but Miss Lu, your measly 100,000 can’t really buy anything good in terms of this gambling meeting, you want to add more?”
Lu Lanzhi didn’t look good, “It’s not like you don’t know that I’m broke!”
The other tsked and shook his head.
“You’re kidding, you’re the daughter of the Lu family, and your brother and sister-in-law are dead, so at least half of this Lu family’s fortune must go into your pocket, right?If you’re going to say you don’t have the money, I don’t believe it.”
Lu Lanzhi swished and turned pale.
She glared angrily at the other and gritted her teeth, “I’m warning you, my business is my business and you don’t involve my brother and sister-in-law!”
The man shook his head.
“Okay, count me out for a slip of the tongue, but a hundred thousand dollars can’t even buy a stone the size of your finger, it’s really no use, if you don’t have the money, then how about next time?”
Lu Lanzhi said brashly, “Why should I come next time?How much money did I spend on you before?Hundreds of millions, right?Now you’re telling me this money is useless?Also, don’t I get a share of the dividend here?Why can’t I just buy these rocks cheaper?”
The other sighed with some headache.
“Auntie, dividends that’s only until the end of the quarter, or the end of the year, where am I going to give you dividends if you run out midway now and tell you you want them?”
“I don’t care, I’ll take these rocks today anyway!”
They were tearing apart when they suddenly heard someone behind them shout, “Auntie!”
Lu Lanzhi was shocked and quickly turned back to see Jenny Jing standing there with Biden Lu on her arm, and Mo Nan together.
She went white with a sudden swish of colour.
“Ah, Shen, Jenny, what are you guys doing here?”
Jenny Jing smiled, “Biden and I happen to be both off today, I heard that there is a stone gambling meeting over here, I was a bit curious so I came over to take a look, I didn’t expect to run into aunt here, is aunt also here to gamble?”
Lucian’s face was a little pale, and he shook his head.
“No, I’m not.”
“Oh?No, I just saw you give him money, and I thought you had already spotted which original stone you were going to buy!”
Jenny’s words, seemingly unintentional, actually hit the nail on the head.
Lucian was on the verge of tears.
“Oh, we went to high school together, we just happened to meet recently, and he’s been a little short on cash for the last couple of days, so he asked me to borrow some, and I came over to give him some money today.”
She said, and took a small step back, afraid that she might get involved with the other man again.
Jenny nodded abruptly.
“Oh, so that’s it.”
At this time, Vicky had also quickly sent someone to find out the details of the other party and sent the information to Biden Lu’s phone.
Biden Lu looked at the phone, followed by a sneer.
“When did Auntie have a Malaysian classmate?”
The crowd was stunned.
Lu Lanzhi’s heart was so tight, the whole thing stayed there, not knowing how to explain.
Biden Lu looked at the man and finally his eyes fell on Lu Lanzhi.
“The Malay jade merchant, who owns three mines in T, has always made a living from mining, and a few years ago opened this gambling club in Kyoto, which has been a booming business and has made a fortune.
Auntie you only met him last year, because the first time over here to spend a lot of money so they were targeted by each other, joint friends to do a bureau to cheat you into the game, put two hundred million promises to let you into the shares to give you dividends.
You listened to him in a moment of infatuation, did not think that he was also gradually addicted to gambling stones, not only will the cost of the two hundred million all gambling lost, but also a debt.
You came here today with so little money. You want to use it to turn over a new leaf?Four taels of gold or a blank canvas?Hmm?”
Lu Lanzhi didn’t expect him to move so quickly, it was only just in and he had already checked everything out.
Being told the truth of the matter by him in front of so many people, Lu Lanzhi’s face was a bit too much to hang on to at the moment.
She lowered her tiger face and said to Biden Lu, “Shen, what are you talking about?I… I didn’t lose that much.Auntie is just usually bored and doing it as a hobby to pass the time, it’s not as serious as you say.”
Chapter 293
She said as she kept her eyes flickering, clearly looking guilty.
Biden Lu was not willing to argue with her, anyway, the matter had been investigated and the scene arrested.
Lu Lanzhi was at least his elder, and he didn’t want to do too much in front of everyone.
So then he said, “I’ll leave this matter to my grandmother, take care of yourself.”
After saying that, he pulled Jenny and turned around.
Lu Lanzhi panicked as soon as she heard that he was going to tell Master Lu.
He even ran over to stop the two.
“Wait a minute, don’t you guys go yet!”
After chasing her until the door, it was hard to stop the person, but Biden Lu frowned and didn’t say anything, waiting for the rest of her story.
Lucian was panting after her, and it took a few seconds for that breath to ease off.
Even said, “Can’t tell your grandparents, Ah Shen, count on Auntie to beg you, you must help me hide this, if your grandparents know, I’ll be dead.”
Biden Lu said in a deep voice, “Before doing this, you should have thought that they would know sooner or later.”
Lu Lange was on the verge of tears.
“No. As long as you don’t say anything, and I don’t say anything, and neither of them say anything, how will your grandparents know?”
Biden Lu sneered.
“Oh?Is it?Even the jewels your grandmother gave you to sell, are you sure they’ll stay in the dark?”
Lu Lanzhi’s face swished and turned completely pale at the news.
It took a few seconds before she moved her lips.
“You, you know all about it?”
Biden Lu didn’t answer with a cold face.
Jenny Jing explained, “Yesterday, Biden and I went to an auction and accidentally saw that set of jewellery, but don’t worry, Biden has already photographed it, so it won’t be passed on to Grandma and Grandpa yet.
But what’s going on in this matter, how did you end up in this situation, I think it’s necessary for you to make it clear to Biden, otherwise when the day really comes when the east window is revealed, even if we want to help you hide it, we won’t be able to hide it.”
It was only with slight relief that Lucian nodded his head.
“Yes, indeed, I should tell you that I don’t know who to turn to for help now but you.”
People came and went at the entrance of the venue, but it was not the place to talk after all.
Finally, Lucian suggested that there was a café nearby that had a decent environment, so the group moved over there to talk.
After all, it involved the internal affairs of the Lu family, Mo Nan was inconvenienced to listen, so he chose a sitting place on the ground floor for coffee.
Biden Lu, Jenny Jing, and Lu Lanzhi, on the other hand, went up to a private room on the first floor.
After sitting down, Jenny ordered coffee for all three of them, which was the only way to get to the point.
“It’s not impossible for you to want us to help you, Auntie, but please don’t have anything to hide, and be sure to tell us the truth, that’s so we can think about how we can help you.”
At this time, Lu Lanzhi was also less arrogant than when she had treated Jenny Jing.
Knowing that I had something to ask for, I also put my foot down, sighed, and said, “It’s a long story, and it started a year ago.”
A year ago, Lu Lanzhi and the old lady quarreled, and she was reluctant to say the exact reason for the fight, and Jenny and Biden Lu didn’t pursue it.
At that time, Biden Lu just happened to have left for Visterdem, so Lu Lanzhi moved back to the old house to accompany the two old ladies and the old man.
I can’t believe I just moved back in.
And then they moved away again because of a fight.
Not many people knew about this, not even Biden Lu.
After Lu Lanzhi moves out of the Lu mansion, the old lady breaks the financial chain for her in a fit of rage.
I don’t know what the reason was, but in short, the old lady wanted to use this to make her turn around and admit her mistake, but Lu Lanzhi was also a high-minded person and refused to bow.
Not only that, but he also thought of some ways to make money on his own, vowing to prove to the old lady that even if he leaves the Lu family, he can still make a good living and is just as capable of supporting himself.
Lu Lanzhi first with people speculating in stocks, as a thousand gold of the Lu family, more than people to sell her face, introduced her to many good stocks, Lu Lanzhi earned a pot of money.
Later, she began to learn business from people.
Unfortunately for her, a woman from an artistic background, she has never been exposed to this aspect herself, even though her family’s business is the number one in China.
Put in a lot of money and end up losing it all.
Lu Lanzhi was afraid of being ridiculed for this, and was even more determined to earn money on her own.
So, by chance, I met Peng Xianlin.
Peng Xianlin was the man they had seen earlier at the gambling stone fair.
The other man, a very successful Malay businessman, had courted Lu Lange when he first met her, only Lu Lange didn’t say yes.
Because of this, Lu Lanzhi felt that the other party must not be lying to her since she was the one pursuing want.
In the beginning, Peng Xianlin did take her along and gambled a few good raw stones out for a small profit.
Later, when Lu Lanzhi begins to be dissatisfied with the status quo, Peng Xianlin sees what she has in mind and suggests that she make a bigger bet at once.
On that occasion, Lu Lanzhi bought almost the entire half of the field of raw stones, not realizing that very few of them had recently opened up into good jade.
That one gave her a huge setback.
But that’s the way people are sometimes, but it’s frustration, and the more that frustration grows.
At Peng Xianlin’s urging, Lu Lanzhi made several more big purchases, each time by the dozen or so.
I did not expect to buy more and more losses, invested several hundred million into it, did not see a good quality jade, and finally almost completely floated.
She couldn’t stand the shock, and didn’t understand why it didn’t work now when she had clearly been able to open a good original stone every time at first.
It wasn’t that Lu Lanzhi hadn’t suspected that Peng Xianlin was lying to her, but she had chosen the original stone every time, so even if people wanted to, they couldn’t fool her.
She didn’t understand, and now that the big head was all in, if she gave up on it, there was no way she could explain it back.
It had been a year, but between her and the old woman, it hadn’t quite died down.
Lucian was tempted to gamble again and decided to stop if he lost again, but he won this time.
So she got the capital again and gambled a few more times.
And so it went back and forth, and eventually she ran out of money, and borrowed a lot from people around her, and pawned her family’s valuables, all of which she put into this gambling den.
Today, Lu Lanzhi was aware that someone in the Lu family had already noticed her difference, and wanted to find Peng Xianlin to at least give her a few decent pieces first, so that she could return a bit of capital, and she could take it back and fool those people first.
But I never expected to meet Biden Lu and the others.
After listening to her narrative, both Biden Lu and Jenny Jing were somewhat speechless.
Jenny Jing didn’t quite understand why the Lu family, which looked like every single one of them was a human being, would give birth to simple-minded, impulsive characters like Lu Lanzhi.
