The Girl Who Married a Tycoon Husband After Disfigurement

Chapter 74

Tang Xin stood in front of the hotel entrance. After returning, she went back to her room and waited for a long time, but Ling Yue didn't come back. She tried calling her phone but no one answered, and she was almost worried to death.

Seeing Ling Yue and Lan Ji come back, Tang Xin quickly approached them, "Ling Yue, where did you two go? I was so worried." She originally wanted to go out and look for them, but Grandfather said Myanmar was very dangerous, and it wasn't safe for a girl to go out alone, so he didn't allow her to leave.

When Ling Yue saw the worried expression on Tang Xin's face, a hint of warmth passed through her heart, and she smiled faintly, "We just went out for a stroll. Here's a little something for you." She took out a red jadeite ring from her pocket and handed it to Tang Xin. She had seen this red jadeite ring earlier and thought it would suit Tang Xin perfectly.

"I can't accept this," Tang Xin immediately loved the red jadeite ring, but she had been taught about the value of jadeite since she was young and understood that this small yet exquisite red jadeite ring must be extremely expensive. How could she accept such a precious gift from Ling Yue?

"Just take it. I got it at a bargain, and it didn't cost much. Besides, it's a bit big for me, but it will fit you better," Ling Yue had scavenged many jadeite jewelry pieces from Dan Tuo this time, and this red jadeite ring was only of ordinary quality among them.

"Then let me pay you for it," Tang Xin really liked this red jadeite ring.

"Don't you consider me a friend?" Ling Yue showed a sad expression.

"Of course I consider you a friend," Tang Xin said hurriedly.

"Then just accept it," Ling Yue blinked her shimmering phoenix eyes.

"Okay, thank you!" Tang Xin took the red jadeite ring and put it on her finger, and it fit perfectly. She wondered what gift would be appropriate for Ling Yue.

Back in the room, Tang Xin closed the door and remembered what Grandpa Tang had said earlier. She walked over to Ling Yue, "Yue Yue, Grandpa said Myanmar looks peaceful, but it's actually very dangerous. Many people have gone missing here already. Be careful when you go out, and don't talk too much with strangers."

When Grandpa said that, it had scared her. She had thought Myanmar would be a fun place, but she didn't expect it to be so chaotic.

"Okay," Ling Yue took out her change of clothes from her backpack and walked towards the bathroom.

On the other side, Lan Ji and Grandpa Tang had already moved their luggage to the adjacent room. Earlier, Grandpa Tang had promised Zhu Yang that they would switch rooms, so as soon as Lan Ji returned, the two of them switched rooms with Zhu Yang's group.

As they entered the room, a damp, musty smell assaulted their nostrils.

Lan Ji and the old man Tang frowned in unison. They had smelled this odor the first time they entered the adjacent room, but it had disappeared later.

After unpacking their belongings, Lan Ji took his clothes to the bathroom, intending to take a shower. They had been out all day, and even without sweat, they were covered in dust.

A knock sounded at the door.

Lan Ji placed his clothes on the bathroom rack and went to open the door. It was Ling Yue outside, so he showed a smile and let her into the room.

When Ling Yue finished showering, she suddenly remembered that Lan Ji and the others were supposed to switch rooms with Zhu Yang's group. Compared to their previous room, the ominous atmosphere in this room was much thicker.

"I just came to see if you had moved in alright," Ling Yue didn't go inside, only chatting with Lan Ji for a bit at the door before returning to her own room.

Lan Ji closed the door and went back to the bathroom, suddenly noticing that the musty smell from before was gone, replaced by a fresh scent in the air. Recalling yesterday's events, a faint smile appeared on his thin lips. This little sister of his was not so simple!

The night passed peacefully, and early the next morning, Ling Yue's group took a car to the jade gambling venue. The results of the bidding would be announced in the morning session. The winning bidders could choose to have the raw stones cut on-site or transport them back to their home country.

Ling Yue walked around the venue, casting a glance at the bidding boxes for the lots she had bid on.

They had just arrived at the venue arranged by the organizers when the place was already in an uproar. Most of the seats inside were already occupied, with groups of familiar faces gathered together, discussing who would win the Raw Stone King.

"Yesterday I saw that there were already several bids in the box for the Raw Stone King. I don't know who will win that lot today."

"The Raw Stone King is huge, but the chances of finding green jade are slim. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been passed over last year."

"If it cracks when being cut, that's still several billion gone to waste."

Ling Yue saw Lan Ji waving at her and walked over to join him.

As soon as she sat down, the screen on the stage lit up, and an elderly man wearing a black Manchu robe and a hat, with a vigorous spirit, walked onto the stage. He showed a faint smile and scanned the crowd with sharp eyes, "Welcome, honored guests, who have traveled far to attend this jade gambling and exchange event."
