Chapter 14 Entering the Mountain
High density gla.s.s type apple green emerald, ice type colourless marbled emerald, ice type purple emerald .
With only these three emeralds, Yu Fu Jewellery had became the biggest winner in this auction without a question; and these three emeralds in the end were all bought by the man from the Qu Family . Before leaving, the young master Qu that reeked of elegance even handed his name card to them, which showed his support towards them that eventually earned the envy and jealousy of others and even causing a larger b.u.t.terfly effect .
In the late night, Zhao Zhen was even dragged to attend a dinner banquet and Song Ye went to the cyber cafe once again to research thoroughly the map to enter the mountain .
When she went out of the cyber cafe, a black Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of her . When the window was rolled down, the face of a handsome and elegant man can be seen .
Song Ye understood that despite this man having a frivolous face, he was in fact, a person that was difficult to deal with . Auctioning Yu Fu Jewellery’s items and later on handing over his name card, all of it was done with an underlying purpose . Now that he had appeared in front of her, it was more apparent that his target was her .
In the dark night, the vibrant neon lights above her head flashed into the face of the man, making him looked charming, but in a different way . He slightly smiled and sent out an invitation to Song Ye .
“Your movements were smooth, are you interested to be under me?”
*To be under him .
Although the phrase felt somewhat as if he’s looking down on her, but under the context that the other party did not know that Song Ye is a girl, it is eventually a fair negotiation .
At this very moment, the man saw a smile appearing on that exquisite face . Even though she was smiling, her eyes were not; a supposingly stunning smile that made others felt their body going cold .
“In this world, there’s a lot of people that wanted me to be of service to them, but all of them had eventually died under my hands… . . ”
Qu Bai will always recall this very sentence in his memories for many years to come and had felt relieved to the fact that he did not had such a deadly enemy due to his own foolish arrogance .
Song Ye naturally will not randomly kill anyone, especially so when she had yet to obtain enough strength, and so, hiding herself would be the best choice .
Of course, upon looking back at some cases and people, she will still choose to do the same regardless .
At the second day of the auction, after choosing five to six raw stones from the hall and handing it to Zhao Zhen,
“The ones that I picked this time can all be sold under Yu Fu Jewellery and the price for it would be the sixty percent share in your hand . You have one week to consider it . ”
Seeing that small silhouette walking further away, Zhao Zhen was struggling in his heart .
If he really handed the shares out, it meant that Yu Fu Jewellery will have the owner changed; but when thinking about Song Ye’s ability, maybe by having her as the owner will Yu Fu Jewellery be able to make a name for itself……
After leaving such a difficult question, Song Ye left everything to Zhao Zhen and got onto the public bus, heading towards the remoted mountainous area in her memory .
At this time, a lot of the areas in the country had yet to be developed . There were not any electricity in the mountainous area, educations were not spread out, and so the residents in the mountainous area were still living day by day with a hoe in their hands .
Following the jolting of the bus, mountains began to appear before Song Ye’s eyes, forming shadows that felt heavy .
As the road in the mountain areas were full of pits, the bus can only stop at the entrance and everyone had to get off the bus and walk into the mountainous areas .
“Five cents each, get off the bus after paying, y’all hear that?”
The driver shoutedly loudly in the bus, his scornful look showed his thoughts in regards to the residents of the mountainous area .
When it was Song Ye’s turn and she was about to hand her bus fare out, someone grabbed her arm from the back and a weak voice belonging to old people can be heard .
“Little girl, I don’t have enough money . Would you be kind and help me pay for it first? I will pay you back later after going back to the village . ”
Song Ye turned back and looked at the face full of wrinkles . She had to hold herself back from breaking the neck of the old woman in front of her .
“Okay, I will pay for you, so you don’t need to pay me back . ”
After paying five cents once more, the old lady followed Song Ye down the bus and the man that followed her was around twenty-five years old . His eyes had peered into Song Ye’s face nonstop .
The old lady then pinched him concealingly and greeted Song Ye .
“Thank you very much, little girl . Do you have any business entering this mountain by yourself?”
“I’m a student and I’m here to collect some plant samples to research on . Can I request grandma to lead the way and bring me into the area as well?”
Song Ye had a black dress on her and her voice when she was speaking was soft . Especially when she brushed her hair behind her ears, the stunning face had caused even the man beside s.p.a.ced out looking at her .
Seeing the look on her son’s face, she then agreed to it and happily led Song Ye into the mountains .
After walking for about three hours and going through a mountain, the three of them had then arrived at a small village located at the flat land in the middle part of the mountain . The small village had about hundreds of families and the roof of the adobe houses were made of thatch, showing how remote this small village was .
On the way, someone saw Grandma w.a.n.g brought a stranger back and showed a look that indicate their understanding on the situation .
“Wow, Da Zhuang, your mother bringing back such a beautiful lady to become your wife, what a luck you had there . And so, what will you do about the Xiao Yun last time?”
“Yeah, Xiao Yun is also pretty . You are not thinking of hogging the both of them, are you?”
Everyone had began to chatter away and upon hearing that, Grandma w.a.n.g immediately glared at them and showed an angry look to them .
“Nonsense . Shut your mouth up . ”
While talking, she sneakily observed the reaction of Song Ye who was behind her . When she saw that nothing was off, she then invited Song Ye into her house .
“All of us here are quite the rough people, so we don’t know much about the mannerisms . Hopefully you won’t mind it . ”
Song Ye shook her head and looked around .
“Listening on their conversation, there’s supposed to be another older girl in your house, how come I don’t see her?”
The corner of Grandma w.a.n.g’s lips stiffened and she then tried to cover it up with an excuse .
“Oh, Xiao Yun is a distant relative and she had only came here to stay overr for a few days so she might be resting now . Miss Song, you might be tired from your journey . Why don’t you rest up? I will call you when dinner is ready . ”
After finishing her sentence, Grandma w.a.n.g dragged her son out and locked the door when she was outside the room .
Song Ye, who was in the room, was able to hear it but she did nothing .
With a dark expression, she stood inside the room and placed her hand on the door, observing the mother and son busy themselves by the stove and at the end of it they poured a packet of medicine powder into the pot .
Seeing this, killing intent appeared in her eyes .
She originally thought that some effort was needed to search this place out, but never could she had thought that she would be able to see the hateful faces of these two in the bus .
At first, when she was trafficked into this mountainous area, she was guarded by this pair of mother and son . During her stay here, other than working day and night, she still had to avoid the hara.s.sment of the man . If she was caught being disobedient, she will be scolded and beaten up . Her days here were h.e.l.lish .
And this village that were isolated from the world was actually the base that the human traffickers specially set up which was used as a transferring station to watch over the victimized girls .
Grandma w.a.n.g had her sights set on Song Ye when they were still on the bus and she had even used the excuse of ‘wanting to return her the money’ as a way to lure her into the village, not knowing that she had actually lured a wolf in sheep’s skin into her house who will eventually caused the downfall of the whole village .
