Chapter 1662 - 1657: Keep Acting

Hearing their response, Xiaobei’s expression darkened, and he recounted the events that had transpired in a low voice.

After listening, their expressions suddenly turned grim!

"Smashed? And shattered into so many pieces, isn’t that nonsense?"

"Exactly, how could that be possible!"

After hearing Xiaobei explain the excuse Song Yiyi had previously given, they scoffed in disbelief.

They knew that emerald raw stones are essentially stones, so they’re particularly sturdy and can’t possibly shatter...

Even if they fall, it’s at most into two pieces, but never into many pieces.

...

Hearing their cold laughter, Xiaobei’s lips curled into a faint smile.

"I also thought his excuse was nonsense, but in the end, I didn’t expose him. Do you know why? Because the emerald raw stone he sent was just too good!"

As he spoke the last words, Xiaobei burst into a joyful laugh.

Xiaobei knew he was about to cut that emerald raw stone, so whether or not he told them everything about it didn’t matter.

Because soon, they would know everything about it...

Their eyes lit up...

"Master Xiaobei, can we take a look at that emerald raw stone?"

"Yeah!"

Feeling their excitement, Xiaobei squinted his eyes and softly said, "Of course, there’s no problem, but no need to rush. Later, Song Wen and Song Yiyi will bring the stone-cutting tools over, and then we can all watch together!"

"Alright!"

They nodded quickly...

Seeing their earnest nods, Xiaobei gently smiled, lifted his teacup, and drank the water in one go.

...

"Xiaobei’s place is really nice!"

As they were enjoying their tea and chatting, Song Wen and Song Yiyi arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"Nonsense!"

Upon hearing Song Wen’s compliment, Song Yiyi inwardly scoffed disdainfully.

Regarding Xiaobei, he really looked down on him now...

Because of this, he now wished he could degrade Xiaobei to nothing.

Seeing his sneering expression, Song Wen frowned and said, "What? Don’t you think it’s nice here?"

"Uncle Song, this place might have a nice environment, but it has nothing to do with us, right? We’re not here for a vacation, right?"

"You have a point!"

Song Wen thought for a moment and slowly nodded!

Afterward, he looked at Song Yiyi and said, "Alright, let’s head up the mountain! By the way, try not to speak too much later, okay?"

"Yes, I understand!"

Song Yiyi nodded quickly!

In fact, even if Song Wen hadn’t said it, Song Yiyi wasn’t planning to say much because he felt Xiaobei was just ordinary trash!

People like that weren’t qualified to speak much with him!

...

Soon, the two of them arrived at the mountain...

"They’re here!"

Hearing the engine sound, Xiaobei put down his cup!

Hearing Xiaobei speak calmly, they immediately turned to look into the distance...

At the same time, a trace of cold smiles appeared on their faces.

Previously, they had some fondness for the gentle Song Wen, but now, with Song Wen using such despicable methods, their good feelings for Song Wen vanished completely.

"Since they’ve arrived, let’s go over there now. After all, just because they don’t care about face doesn’t mean we shouldn’t, right?"

Seeing their disgusted expressions, Xiaobei gently smiled and took the lead, standing up first.

They thought for a moment, then slowly stood up too...

They knew Xiaobei was right, now that they’re here, they should extend the hospitality appropriate for a host.

...

"Master Xiaobei, I’m really sorry about what happened earlier! I didn’t expect my staff to be so careless! I’ll definitely scold him thoroughly when we get back, definitely scold him thoroughly."

Just as they walked over, Xiaobei heard such an overly apologetic statement...

Looking deeply at the pretending Song Wen, Xiaobei smiled lightly and waved his hand, "It’s nothing! People make mistakes, and to be honest, the emerald raw stone you sent me before was excellent, I really liked it."

"That’s good, that’s good! I brought the stone-cutting tools, you can cut the stone later!"

"Right! Make sure you don’t leave, stay and watch closely!"

"Alright, we will!"

Hearing such a response, Xiaobei quickly went to prepare!

As Xiaobei was preparing, Song Wen turned his head and noticed Lv Beibei and Xiaoyun were both there.

Knowing them, Song Wen quickly greeted them!

Especially Lv Beibei, having known Lv Beibei for a long time, he directly called out, "What a coincidence!"

Hearing his words, Lv Beibei just looked at him expressionlessly...

Honestly, if it were before, upon hearing such a proactive greeting, Lv Wenwen would have responded happily.

But now, knowing what kind of person he really is, Lv Beibei wasn’t interested!

Really!

Lv Beibei didn’t even have the intention to pretend with him...

Being directly ignored by Lv Beibei, Song Wen’s expression turned a bit awkward...

He knew that the reason for this was because he swapped Xiaobei’s emerald raw stone before.

"Self-inflicted wounds, hard to live with!"

Reflecting on how everything was his own doing, he sighed bitterly...

Ignoring Song Wen’s awkwardness, Lv Beibei and Xiaoyun directly went over to help Xiaobei...

...

"Uncle Song, there’s no need to sigh like that!"

After Lv Beibei and Xiaoyun left, he quickly spoke...

Hearing this, Song Wen looked at Song Yiyi, his eyelid twitched, and he angrily growled, "Still saying useless nonsense here, things ended up like this all because of you! I must have been blinded by greed to believe your nonsense before!"

Song Wen knew that business really depends on loyalty!

Previously, for a bit of profit, he abandoned his loyalty...

And now, trying to regain it was really, really difficult.

Rubbing his nose awkwardly after being berated, Song Yiyi said, "Uncle Song, you can’t blame me, I was doing it for us, and I really made over ten million for us!"

Hearing him brag, Song Wen frowned and said coldly, "Shameless to mention it! Giving Xiaobei that emerald raw stone could cost us even more, do you know that?"

Song Yiyi was slightly startled and quickly said, "Uncle Song, what are you saying! There’s no way it could cost us more, that emerald raw stone’s performance was terrible!"

"Poor performance means no good result? Xiaobei cut out an ice species from a seemingly worthless emerald raw stone before!"

"That... that was just his dumb luck!"

Hearing Song Yiyi smear Xiaobei like that, he frowned, sarcastically retorting, "Dumb luck? How come you never have such luck! Unless even luck finds you disgusting!"

"I..."

Song Yiyi wanted to say more, but Song Wen ignored him and walked away...

"Xiaobei, you’re the root cause of all this, I’ll watch closely today, I want to see you make a fool of yourself!"

Knowing he was unwelcome now because of Xiaobei, his hatred for Xiaobei reached extreme levels...
