My Left Eye Can See Through Everything - Chapter 87 - Confession

Zhou Yang shrugged his shoulders; he was merely speaking offhandedly. How others acted was their business; he could only do what he could.

After a brief greeting, Zhou Yang left, but after walking a while, he turned back to see Liu Jiaqi on the phone, seeking instructions.

Due to this matter, Zhou Yang lost his interest in finding bargains and took a cab directly to Jadeite Rough Street.

This time, he wasn’t there to make money but to spend some, acquiring larger pieces of jadeite to absorb.

Zhou Yang had a premonition that the Ruyi Ding was definitely not simple, surely possessing many hidden functions.

So how to unlock these hidden functions?

After pondering, Zhou Yang could only think of one possibility: upgrading.

Thus, he needed a large amount of jadeite to absorb, only then could he become stronger.

The jadeite he absorbed previously was partly absorbed by his body, partly used to help Ji Lanyan massage her ankle.

The remaining part was mainly used to repair the calligraphy and painting, and the Xuande Incense Burner currently being restored.

Then there was the recent fragment; all these things needed spiritual liquid for restoration.

So he had to make a trip to Jadeite Rough Street!

His purpose this time was clear: to cut a large jadeite and absorb more energy from it to improve his body.

Therefore, the quality of the jadeite wasn’t the most important, as its quality had no relation to the spiritual liquid.

Zhou Yang was now considered wealthy, so he didn’t mind spending tens of thousands, as such needs weren’t daily occurrences.

On the other side, Ji Lanyan was in Jiang Xueru’s office discussing matters, as this transaction involved over 11 million.

Over 11 million was a significant amount in anyone’s eyes, so after discussion, the two agreed on a transaction of 12.5 million.

According to the agreement, the money was to be transferred within three days, but since it was their first formal cooperation, Jiang Xueru directly notified the finance department to make the transfer.

Once the money was transferred, the two engaged in personal conversation.

“Lanyan, how did you and Zhou Yang meet? Can you tell me?”

Jiang Xueru’s question seemed casual, but Ji Lanyan’s answer was even more clever.

“Don’t mention it, Zhou Yang is quite cunning!”

“Back then, when I wasn’t familiar with him, I was feeling unwell once, and this guy insisted on taking me to the hospital, running around busily. I initially thought he was genuinely kind.”

“But guess what?”

“He was actually making advances on me. Alas, I was too naive then, didn’t notice, and got caught in his trap. I regret it so much now!”

Ji Lanyan’s words initially sounded like she was greatly wronged, deceived by Zhou Yang.

But upon closer listening, they revealed a hint of boasting, evident from her facial expression.

“Lanyan, you mean you and Zhou Yang have already…”

Jiang Xueru’s question was somewhat blunt.

Ji Lanyan immediately felt a bit embarrassed, adopting a shy demeanor typical of young women.

“Talking about this makes me angry. A few days ago, he returned home, shamelessly begging me to go with him. I didn’t think much at the time and agreed.”

“But guess what?”

Jiang Xueru cooperatively asked, “What happened?”

Ji Lanyan’s face showed even more pride.

“This guy is utterly shameless; I’m embarrassed to say.”

“In short, I’ve boarded the pirate ship, and it’s too late to regret now!”

Jiang Xueru was frustrated because Ji Lanyan talked for a long time without getting to the point, leaving their relationship unclear.

“Xueru, let’s leave it here for today!”

“It’s getting late, I need to find Zhou Yang. He asked me to go to him immediately after finishing my tasks. This man is so bothersome!”

“Can’t leave him for a moment, like a sticky plaster. If I don’t go, he’ll call to urge me.”

Ji Lanyan deliberately said this, having noticed Jiang Xueru’s ulterior motives.

Despite her age, Jiang Xueru still had thoughts about Zhou Yang, wanting to be the old cow eating young grass. Would Ji Lanyan agree?

Thus, she orchestrated this little drama, believing it was perfect.

Zhou Yang checked the time; it was almost 11 o’clock and planned to call Ji Lanyan.

Just then, he saw a message on his phone, a transfer of 12.5 million!

The money came from the same account as previous transactions, so Zhou Yang naturally knew who sent it.

It seemed Ji Lanyan was indeed better suited for business negotiations than himself; this woman was truly impressive, but he wondered when…

Finding a secluded spot, he directly stored two larger pieces of jadeite into the Ruyi Ding.

There was also a basketball-sized jadeite rough, which needed to be visibly taken back.

He hadn’t planned to gamble on stones for profit that morning, but luck was on his side, and he spotted this stone before leaving.

So Zhou Yang bought it without hesitation, not intending to cut it on-site.

This stone was meant for Ji Lanyan; after knowing her for some time, he hadn’t given her a decent gift.

So the jadeite inside this rough was the gift Zhou Yang prepared for Ji Lanyan.

Just as Zhou Yang was about to make the call, Ji Lanyan arrived in her car.

“Zhou Yang, did you receive the money?”

Ji Lanyan’s question was knowingly asked, wanting Zhou Yang to praise her.

After all, Zhou Yang mentioned 11 million, but she managed to secure 12.5 million, an extra 1.5 million.

If Zhou Yang didn’t praise her, it wouldn’t be fair.

“Yes, received!”

“Open the trunk, I’ll load this jadeite rough!”

Zhou Yang casually acknowledged receiving the money, which displeased Ji Lanyan because he didn’t praise her!

Thus, throughout the journey, Ji Lanyan’s lips were pouting, clearly showing her anger.

Zhou Yang felt speechless; he hadn’t done anything wrong today!

Could it be her period?

Unable to resist, he used his X-ray vision for a glance…

The sight made Zhou Yang’s nose heat up, almost causing a nosebleed.

He realized he needed to resolve his single status quickly; otherwise, who could endure this!

Back at the villa, Zhou Yang did nothing but start stone cutting, with Ji Lanyan watching beside him.

At that moment, she mentally cursed Zhou Yang repeatedly, as he didn’t pay attention to such a beautiful woman.

His eyes were only on that worthless stone; wasn’t that infuriating?

While Ji Lanyan silently cursed, Zhou Yang had already extracted the jadeite.

Once the jadeite was out, Ji Lanyan couldn’t remain calm, as its value was immense.

Indeed, it was an imperial green, about the size of a bowl, no wonder Zhou Yang immediately started stone cutting upon returning.

He didn’t talk to her during the journey, nor did he notice her anger; his mind was entirely on this imperial green.

Everything made sense now!

“Lanyan, this is for you!”

Zhou Yang presented the imperial green to Ji Lanyan; indeed, upon seeing the stone, his first thought was to gift it to her.

He wanted to create a set of imperial green jewelry for Ji Lanyan, a complete set.

Typically, a complete jewelry set consists of five pieces: two earrings as one piece, a necklace as one piece, a ring as one piece, and two bracelets as two pieces.

This is the so-called five-piece jewelry set.

“For me?”

Ji Lanyan was momentarily stunned, mainly because it was too precious.

Not to mention the large piece of jadeite, just a set of imperial green jewelry would be priceless.

It’s no exaggeration to say that even with Zhou Yang’s current assets, he might not afford such a set, let alone the entire jadeite.

“Yes, for you!”

“I’ve long wanted to give you something nice, but hadn’t found anything suitable.”

“The jadeite sold to Jiang Xueru last time was too small, so I’ve been observing these days, hoping to find something more fitting.”

“Today was lucky, so…”

“Lanyan, I actually like you!”

Zhou Yang finally voiced the words he’d held back for a long time, but after saying them, his heart was anxious!
