甜蜜的小狐狸

Her fingers formed a seal and she used the staff in front of her to block her as she slapped it toward the man.

Boss Lei suddenly felt as if something had burrowed into his body. However, he circulated his cultivation technique to sense it carefully, but he did not feel anything.

He looked at Lu Miao with a malicious gaze. Seeing that she was still stupidly making payment to the staff, he snorted in disdain and turned to leave.

He had seen that stone before, and there was absolutely no jade inside.

How could such an idiot be a cultivator? It was simply a waste of his time.

After Lu Miao paid, the staff asked her if she wanted to cut it open on the spot. Lu Miao waved her hand and hailed a car to wait at the door.

She instructed the staff to carry the stone into the car, then turned around and asked the driver to drive directly to the auction house.

She left after negotiating with the people from the auction house. After thinking for a while, she took out her phone and sent a message to Fu Jingshen. “Help me find out who is behind the stone gambling event at Peony Terrace today.”

The relationships in the capital city were intricate and complicated, making it simpler for Fu Jingshen to handle such matters.

When she returned home, Fu Jingshen had already sent over the results of the investigation.

“Regarding the rental of the venue and the external negotiations, it was all handled by the Jin family, but the actual activities seem to be unrelated to them. There are traces of the Jiang and Su families behind this. I’ll investigate further for you.”

“Alright, thank you.”

Lu Miao put down her phone. There were four big families in capital: the Fu family, the Su family, the Jiang family, and the Chen family.

Underneath these four major families were numerous smaller ones, including the Jin family.

A seemingly insignificant gemstone gambling event entangled several families.

There were many branches within the Gu family, and Lu Miao initially thought that the matter involving Gu Shiyan was just an internal power struggle. However, it appeared to be far more complex than she had anticipated.

Gu Shiyan might have discovered something, but the curse was difficult to break. Unable to ensure his own safety, he prioritized preparing for his family’s future, ensuring their well-being even if he were to die.

In the evening, a major news shook the entire auction industry.

Two meteorites weighing a total of half a ton sold for a staggering 450 million yuan.

As meteorites entered the Earth’s atmosphere, the friction decreased, making it increasingly rare to find fist-sized ones. Therefore, meteorites generally commanded high prices, with the most expensive ones reaching up to yuan per gram.

This was why whenever a meteorite fell, many people traveled from all over the country in search of them.

After paying the taxes and deducting the commission for the auction, Lu Miao finally felt that she was not so poor after seeing the 400 million yuan in her phone. She had a good sleep.

Meanwhile, in a residence in the capital city, sounds of things continuously shattering could be heard from a room, followed by furious shouts of frustration.

“How can you all be so incompetent? None of you discovered two meteorites of that size! 450 million worth of goods, and they were sold for just 30 million

“Go and retrieve the surveillance footage. Find out exactly who that woman is…”

Early the next morning, Lu Miao woke up in a pleasant mood. Before she could even descend the stairs, she heard Gu Ziheng’s discontented shouts coming from the living room on the first floor.

“Second Brother, I’ve only recorded one- tenth of my show. If you withdraw your investment now, how am I supposed to record it?”

“Then let’s go back to the island to record.” Gu Shiyan said lightly.

“Why should I go back to that godforsaken island? Second Brother, you can’t treat me like this just because you couldn’t get attention from Lu Miao and you’re jealous that she’s been with me, caring for me all this time, you’re treating me like this.”

Pfff!

Lu Miao was so shocked by his words that she lost her balance and tripped.

Gu Ziheng and Gu Shiyan turned around when they heard the commotion. When they saw that she had sprained her ankle, the two of them stood up and went forward at the same time.

“Are you alright?”

Before Lu Miao could finish speaking, Gu Shiyan had already reached out and picked her up horizontally.

She was indeed too skinny and needed to be nourished.

Lu Miao was startled by the sudden hug and subconsciously reached out to hug his neck.

The corners of Gu Shiyan’s lips curled up imperceptibly. He placed her on the sofa and held her foot to check it carefully. Her ankle was already slightly red and swollen.

Gu Ziheng moved quickly and ran over to get the first aid kit.

Lu Miao’s lips twitched when she saw the two of them acting like they were facing a great enemy.

“I’m fine. It’s just a sprain. I’ll be fine after resting for two days.”

What she didn’t say was that if she did acupuncture herself, she would probably be back to normal by tomorrow morning.

Gu Shiyan frowned. He poured the medicinal oil on his hand and warmed it up. He applied it to her ankle and massaged it carefully.

His movements were gentle, and he even asked her if it hurt from time to time.

Due to the influence of the Seven Kill Formation curse, his hands were always cooler than the normal body temperature.

At this moment, perhaps due to the medicinal oil and massage, the palms were rarely warm, and his large hand enveloped her delicate ankle, his slender fingers encircling perfectly.

Sensing the slightly warm temperature, Lu Miao felt somewhat uneasy and wanted to pull her foot back.

However, Gu Shiyan’s voice was stern, “Don’t move. If we don’t massage it properly now, the swelling will only get worse.”

With a firm grip, he forcefully pulled her foot back into position.

Lu Miao usually didn’t pay much attention to people’s appearances when making friends.

But at this moment, as she watched Gu Shiyan’s slightly lowered eyes, earnestly and attentively massaging, she couldn’t help but marvel at how good-looking his face was!

It was the kind of face that would make any young girl blush and heart skip a beat!

Feeling an inexplicable warmth in her ears, Lu Miao raised her hand to touch them and shifted her gaze to the other side.

On the other hand, Gu Ziheng was bustling around, bringing her breakfast and serving her by her side.

Thinking of Gu Ziheng’s words before she descended the stairs, Lu Miao looked up at him and asked, “How much more money do you need for your program?”

Gu Ziheng instinctively replied, “If we want to complete the entire program in the city, we still need around 50 million.”

“I’ll invest,” Lu Miao stated directly.

Gu Ziheng quickly waved his hand, “No, no, how can I use your money? I’ll figure it out myself.”

He had poured all his heart and savings into this program, spending two months in closed training on the island during the early stages, incurring significant expenses.

Lu Miao nonchalantly said, “Consider it my investment.”

Gu Ziheng thought for a moment.” Alright then. Don’t worry, Second

Sister-in-law. I’ll definitely do a good job on the show. When the time comes, I’ll work hard to earn money and give you dividends.”

Lu Miao nodded and did not mind.

She had always been generous to her own people. He could do whatever he wanted as long as he was happy. She had the ability to support him. It didn’t matter if he could earn money or not.

Gu Shiyan, who was still massaging her, raised his eyebrows slightly. Yesterday afternoon, he had to borrow money from him because of something, but today, she invested 50 million yuan into Gu Ziheng without blinking.

Should he marvel at her astonishing money-making speed?

If the Lu family knew about this, they would probably regret it.

Also, did she spoil Gu Ziheng too much? If this continued, he would be spoiled to helplessness!
