Chapter 583: It Felt Good
“What on earth?” Huang Chengjing was stunned for a moment. After returning to his senses, he asked, “Why?”
Jiang Yao rolled her eyes. “You don’t believe me? Fine. Let me tell you, my cat here is a blessing. Whichever stone he points at, that is the one with the most value. Even I am willing to risk it; are you fearless enough to follow me? If we get it right, we are going to make a lot of money. If you lose money, however, I will pay for your losses. So, tell me, Mr. Huang, what do you think?”
It was not an exaggeration when she said Moe was a blessing.
The antique chamber pot was a good example.
Even without the Medical System, he was able to determine the values of minerals and antiques. This was how good he was.
Having his thoughts so readily exposed by Jiang Yao, Huang Chengjing smiled. Frankly, he was hesitant. After all, Jiang Yao’s purchase of raw stones felt more like a grocery trip down the aisle of a supermarket.
It was no wonder he was surprised and doubtful with Jiang Yao’s sudden proposition.
“Mr. Huang, either way, you are not going to lose your money. If you did not side with me and stood up to Zhu Qianlan, I wouldn’t have done this.” Jiang Yao raised her eyebrows. “What do you say?”
Perhaps it was Jiang Yao’s over-confident demeanor, or maybe it was her smile, Huang Chengjing, after a few seconds of hesitation, nodded.
Having convinced Huang Chengjing, Jiang Yao pulled Moe out from her backpack. Once again, the cat and his master trotted off into the fair. With the cat purring incessantly and his master recklessly giving instructions, Huang Chengjing was just as impulsive and bought all the raw stones mentioned by Jiang Yao.

The trade fair was smaller in scale compared to the one in Purple Orchid Garden and was only a one-day event along with a smaller number of raw stones. In less than a half-hour, Huang Chengjing had managed to acquire two-fifth of the raw stones in the fair under Jiang Yao’s direction.
The entire place was speechless when Huang Chengjing finally went to make the payment.
When Jiang Yao, carrying the cat in her arms, instructed Huang Chengjing to purchase the stones like a housewife doing grocery shopping, everyone present in the fair flocked toward them.
Jiang Yao was a crazy little girl, that they knew a few minutes ago. However, nobody expected Huang Chengjing to follow suit.
Zhu Qianlan’s face was as sour as it could be, her expression darkened like the sky right before a heavy rainstorm.
“Mr. Huang, what is wrong with you? Why are you doing everything the crazy girl says?” She looked at Jiang Yao with murderous intent in her eyes.
Of course, Huang Chengjing’s purchase of over a dozen raw stones brought in a lot of revenue for the trade fair. But that was not what Zhu Qianlan wanted.
She would have rather that Huang Chengjing reprimand Jiang Yao and not make a single purchase here than for him to act so recklessly with Jiang Yao. That could only mean one thing, Huang Chengjing liked the young girl very much.
“You know what, it is true that we shouldn’t be restricted by our age. Life is full of wonders and it is up to us to make the most out of it.” Huang Chengjing raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Yao. “Frankly, it felt amazing!”
