Qin Yao stood in front of the Jade Raw Stone, her heart churning. The surface of the raw stone seemed unremarkable, with a few cracks on the gray skin, and it looked like one of hundreds of ordinary stones. But she knew that this stone might be the starting point of all her changes. "Qin Yao, why are you staring at it?" A familiar voice came from behind. Qin Lianxin walked over, with a leisurely look, but with a bit of disdain in her eyes. When she passed by Qin Yao's shoulder, she paused deliberately, as if to see her reaction, but the smile on her face revealed an undisguised provocation. Qin Yao did not respond immediately, but lowered her head to carefully observe the raw stone, her eyes full of scrutiny and calmness. Over the years, her vision has been accurate enough to analyze the potential of a piece of jade from the subtle marks and lines on the surface. But she knew that this game was not just a technical competition. "What did you say?" Qin Yao looked up, her eyes were gentle but her tone was lukewarm, as if she didn't notice Qin Lianxin's provocation at all. Qin Lianxin chuckled, "Nothing, I just think you're staring at a broken stone like this, as if you want to see a future from it. I think that future might just make you lose face." Qin Yao could hear the provocation in her words, her eyes slightly raised, with a barely perceptible smile on her lips, "Really? I think it may be more valuable than you think." "Don't think too highly of yourself." Qin Lianxin laughed sarcastically, her eyes contemptuous, "This stone is just a piece of broken material that was thrown here by someone, how dare you dream of finding a miracle from it?" "Just wait and see." Qin Yao smiled faintly, turned his head, and his eyes passed by Qin Lianxin. Qin Lianxin said nothing more, just raised her hand to tidy up her hair, turned and walked away, but her thoughtful eyes did not leave Qin Yao for too long. She knew in her heart that behind Qin Yao's calmness, she hid her unknown ambition. The undercurrent of the game of the Qin Family is no longer just a contest between stone and jade, but a fight for the inheritance of the Qin Family. And Qin Yao, the once abandoned girl, is stepping into their field of vision. However, what really makes Qin Yao feel pressured is not Qin Lianxin, but Song Nanshi who is standing not far from her. The appearance of this man seems to bring unexpected effects every time. He is always present so quietly, but he can always accurately grasp the weakness of every moment. "Qin Yao, your goal is very clear now?" Song Nanshi suddenly spoke, his tone was calm, but every word was like a gust of cool breeze blowing through his heart. Qin Yao didn't answer immediately, but just lowered her head slightly, looking at the Jade Raw Stone in her hand, with thoughts surging in her heart. She knew that if she wanted to stand out from this chaos, she couldn't just rely on technology, and she had to make every move in the family carefully. What she had to do was not just Gambling Stone, but also betting on the family's power struggle.
"Understood." She looked up, responding calmly, her eyes revealing a rare decisiveness. "I plan to start with this stone and let everyone know that the the Qin Family is not just made up of those cunning merchants; there’s also me, someone who has crawled up from the dirt."
Song Nanshi narrowed his eyes, his gaze flowing like water, but there was a hint of amusement in the way he looked at Qin Yao. "No wonder you're considered an 'outsider' in the the Qin Family; you speak so directly." He reached out and patted her shoulder. "However, what truly matters is whether you can make it to the end."
"I've already come this far; nothing can stop me now," Qin Yao replied softly. Her tone was flat, but there was a strong conviction in her eyes.
Song Nanshi smiled slightly and didn’t say anything more, turning his gaze toward the window as if contemplating other matters. The oppressive atmosphere in the air momentarily solidified, and Qin Yao didn’t rush to speak. She knew she had begun to attract enough attention. In the days to come, the internal struggles within the family would only become more complex. She not only needed to find value in this stone but also to carve out her own foothold on this path of power.
Just as Qin Yao fell into deep thought, the phone rang suddenly. She picked up her phone and saw her father Qin Wu's name flashing on the screen. She frowned slightly and answered the call.
"Qin Yao, come to my office immediately." On the other end, Qin Wu's voice was calm and powerful, devoid of any emotional fluctuation. Yet, Qin Yao could detect a hint of hidden implication in his tone. "There's something that requires your personal attention."
"Okay, I’ll be right there." Qin Yao hung up the phone, her gaze flickering momentarily. She understood that today’s game had only just begun.
"Go ahead; work is important," Song Nanshi said, watching her retreating figure with an expression that conveyed an indescribable meaning.
Qin Yao exited the office and headed toward the elevator. Along the way, her steps were steady and powerful as she began to contemplate what Qin Wu meant by "requiring personal attention." She knew that the challenges she faced ahead were far more complex than just this piece of jade; it was about the power struggle within the entire the Qin Family. She, Qin Yao, would undoubtedly have to play her own role in this rising tide of circumstances.
She stepped out of the elevator and walked toward Qin Wu's office.
