Chapter 38 Bought a Fake Stone
Lan Xingbo was a little desperate after being beaten. He felt pain all over his body, and it hurt even more than when Mr. Jiang had punched his face.
“Stop… I… I won’t go back, okay?”
“And? What are you supposed to call me? Who am I to you?”
“I…”
Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Lan Xiao raised the stick again to hit him with it.
Lan Xingbo couldn’t bear it anymore. He immediately raised his hands in surrender.
“Sister! Sister… I was wrong. You are my older sister…”
“Phew! How exhausting! You really deserved that beating, you brat. If I had known that you wouldn’t listen to me, I would have beaten you up earlier!” Lan Xiao threw the stick away with contempt.
“…” Lan Xingbo was rendered speechless.
“Come here and massage my arm. It’s sore after beating you,” Lan Xiao casually instructed her brother casually, not feeling guilty at all after beating him up.
Lan Xingbo almost broke down.
He slowly shuffled over to Lan Xiao’s side, stretched out his hands, and began massaging her arm. He asked tentatively, “Sister… Did you hit your head somewhere?”
Otherwise, how could her abnormal behavior be explained?
She had never acted like this before.
Although he liked her strong and tough personality now,
he couldn’t connect it to his stupid and cowardly sister in the past.
“…” Lan Xiao cast a cold glance at Lan Xingbo.
Then, she slowly stretched out her arm and clenched her hand into a fist.
Lan Xingbo shrank back in fear, feeling as if his neck was being crushed in her hand.
His scalp tingled and his heart skipped a beat. “Sister… I… I won’t ask any more questions…”
Han Yun’s eyelids twitched as she watched this scene in utter shock.
She suspected that the woman in front of her wasn’t the precious daughter of the head of Lan family at all.
After Lan Xiao beat up her brother, Lan Xingbo finally became obedient to her..
Lan Xiao couldn’t help cursing inwardly, ‘He just needed a good beating!’ If she had known that this would work, she would have beaten him long ago.
Later, she learned about how her brother had lost fifty million from gambling on a stone.
In fact, Lan Xingbo had fallen into someone’s trap. He had borrowed five million to purchase a stone, but it had turned out to be a fake one.
After that, he had seen a hooligan harassing Han Yun.
He had been so mad that he had rushed forward to beat up that man.
The bodyguards, however, had sternly forbidden him from fighting in the venue.
Lan Xingbo couldn’t swallow his anger, nor could he bear the provocation of that hooligan. Therefore, each of them had selected a stone and started gambling.
The one who got the better quality jadeite would win.
The loser would have to pay the winner ten times the price of his selected stone. At that time, Lan Xingbo had realized it was a huge gamble, but that hooligan had kept yelling he was a coward and just pretending to be a rich guy here!”
After that, he had begun to harass Han Yun by saying vulgar words to her and touching her body.
Lan Xingbo was determined to teach the hooligan a lesson, so he had agreed to gamble with him.
However, he hadn’t expected that he would lose so thoroughly.
What was worse, the hooligan’s gambling stone was worth five million. Ten times of that was fifty million!
How could Lan Xingbo have so much money? So, he had been caught by Mr. Jiang at once.
Lan Xiao, Lan Xingbo and Han Yun walked around the stairs and strode over to the largest lawn in Yue Shan Resort.
Dozens of tents and hundreds of people were on the lawn.
Inside each tent, a stall had been set up, exhibiting countless stones of different sizes.
