"Having shells is good enough, and there are two hairy crabs too?" Lin Ziyang said.
"Let's not eat the hairy crabs. They are cold and not good for the fetus," Xia Li said.
"Hurry up and drink the porridge while it's hot. If it's not enough, have General Manager Xiao arrange for the kitchen to make more."
"It's enough. I ate several lion's heads just now, they really fill you up. This lion's head is really delicious, I'll have the kitchen make a few more tomorrow and send them home."
"Aren't we going home tomorrow?" Xia Li asked.
"Tomorrow we're going to the artificial lake villa. It's too tiring to go to the capital."
"Then I'll tell General Manager Xiao to arrange for the kitchen to send the things over to the artificial lake tomorrow."
"Forget it, let's eat here tomorrow. My sisters still have to stay here for a few more days."
"Alright then. What you said earlier about letting these sisters cut stones, I'll discuss it with Old Xu this afternoon, and have him bring two more people tomorrow. If we rely on him alone, it won't be done so quickly."
"Thank you, Xia Li."
"You're welcome. This is what I should do."
After sending all the guests away, the group rushed back to the King's Villa, and it was past four in the afternoon.
"I'm exhausted today. Don't bother me tonight, just go bother your girlfriends," Li Minxi said to Guo Xuyang as she flopped onto the bed.
"Today is our big day, and you're kicking me out of the house like this?"
"Tch. We're old married people now. I really don't have the energy to mess around with you today. Also, don't call me for dinner tonight, I'm dead tired."
"How about I give you a massage? My technique is excellent."
"Alright then. But we have to agree beforehand, you can't annoy me."
"I won't annoy you. I'll give you a massage for a while." Guo Xuyang said and obediently started massaging Li Minxi.
Guo Xuyang's massage was very gentle, and Li Minxi fell asleep without realizing it. Guo Xuyang covered her with the quilt and then quietly left the room.
Lin Ziyang and the others were sitting in the living room downstairs, chatting with Yu'er, Xia Li, and the others.
"Where's Xiao Xi?" Lin Ziyang asked.
"She's asleep. She's really worn out."
"From waking up at six in the morning until now, she hasn't rested. How can she not be tired? Moreover, there's a special situation. How long has Xiao Xi been?" Lin Ziyang said.
"About three months? We only found out before Xiao Guo Yi Shun was born."
"Why isn't she showing?" Xia Li asked.
"She is showing. It's just not as exaggerated as Yi Lian Na. Plus, she's wearing more clothes now, so if you're not careful, you won't be able to tell from the outside."
"Xiao Xi is asleep, shall we go pick some stones?" Lin Ziyang said.
"Aren't you tired? Go upstairs and rest. There are plenty of rooms here."
"We're not tired. We haven't done anything, except sit in cars and planes and then sit down to eat. Can we visit your warehouse?"
"Alright then. As long as you're not tired. Xia Li, go get the key, let's go to the warehouse," Guo Xuyang said.
"Please follow me, ladies," Xia Li said, walking towards the door. She planned to lead them in through the west gate.
When Lin Ziyang arrived at the warehouse, she was stunned by the raw stones inside.
"How much are these jades worth?"
"I'm not sure of the exact amount. We'll know after General Manager Wu and Xiao Yun, Xia Li, and the others appraise them."
"Are these jades always like this?" Lin Ziyang asked, pointing to a few bright pieces.
"Yes. These were all bought at a high price from the Myanmar stores."
"Are the jades inside of very high quality?"
"Not necessarily. I can't guarantee 100% jade when buying these things. However, I can guarantee more than eighty percent."
"That's amazing? You'd be making a profit if half of these were jade," Bing Bing, one of the girls, said in surprise.
"So, this lady has played with stone gambling before?"
"I haven't. But I've seen it at my friends' clubs."
"How many do you think they can cut out?"
"Less than one in ten. Very few."
"Mmm. These are all carefully selected by me. This is what's supplied to the specialty stores in the capital and Shanghai. If Yang Yang hadn't suggested picking stones, I wouldn't have given them to you."
"Thank you so much."
"You're welcome. Please pick. However, as I said, only those under five kilograms. I can give you a twenty percent discount," Guo Xuyang said. He wasn't a philanthropist. Although these women were Li Minxi's close friends, they weren't his women. He wouldn't be foolishly generous and casually give away hundreds of millions of yuan worth of jade.
"That's very much appreciated," Lin Ziyang said, walking further in.
"Do you know how to pick stones?"
"Have you played before?"
"No. I've only bought finished products."
"If you haven't played before, I suggest you just pick one randomly. It depends on your luck. Please choose with confidence. We'll charge you after the jade is cut, and we won't ask for money before it's cut. Of course, if you don't want it, you'll have to pay a fifty-thousand stone cutting fee."
"As long as the material is good enough, we sisters will definitely take it. But if it's really not good, I can only give up."
"If it doesn't reach high ice quality, I won't charge you the stone cutting fee," Guo Xuyang said.
"Alright then," Lin Ziyang said, casually picking up a raw stone weighing about five kilograms. "I'll pick this one."
"Xia Li, contact General Manager Wu and have him arrange for two stone cutting masters to come over."
"Okay. I was planning to contact them for tomorrow," Xia Li said, dialing Wu Youzhi's number.
"General Manager Wu, please arrange for two stone cutting masters to come to the King's Villa now. Yes, now. Yang Zi is here too. Okay, we'll wait for you."
Xia Li hung up the phone and said, "General Manager Wu will also come along."
"Why is he coming? I saw him drinking quite a bit today. He drank a lot with General Manager Qi and the others."
"He probably wants to continue tonight."
"I'm not going. If you want to eat, you can tell Xiao Yun and arrange another table at a different restaurant. The masters from Junyue today were also quite tired."
"We'll talk about it tonight."
After Lin Ziyang finished picking, the accompanying bridesmaids and Li Minyu each picked one as well.
"Guo Xuyang, what do you think of the one I picked?" Li Minyu asked.
"Not bad. A little surprise." Guo Xuyang had to admit that Li Minyu had very good luck. She, like Jiang Wu Xi, had picked a piece of Imperial Green glass species material. Could it be that they hadn't cleaned it up completely last time? Why were there still so many fish that slipped through the net outside? Guo Xuyang was puzzled.
