Yun Zhi Yue's eyes sparkled with the dazzling light of money, revealing a genuine smile.
She hurriedly caught up, her stiletto heels clicking against the floor. "Jiji Uncle, wait for me! I need to grab my hat and mask."
Ji Yan took her to a famous jade shop in the capital, where they sold raw stones. If the prices went up, one could make a fortune, but most of the time, it was a gamble. Moreover, it was common practice to mix ordinary stones with raw ones to increase sales.
Only those with a discerning eye would dare to play in this arena. There weren't many customers around, and she kept herself well-covered, so it wasn't too inconvenient.
At that moment, she needed to keep an eye on her sister and offer some support. She couldn't just drag her down; at least she should let her have more opportunities to see Jian Qinzhi.
Ji Yan examined the raw stones, relying solely on instinct. From several meters away, she casually pointed out a few, prompting Yun Zhi Yue to pay for them immediately.
There were six pieces of raw stone in total, costing ten thousand. For someone of her status, this shouldn't have been a big deal, yet she hesitated when it came time to pay. The pressure of being financially squeezed was quite overwhelming.
Ji Yan watched her hesitation with interest, perhaps curious about how she managed to put herself in such an awkward position. But that wasn't even the most embarrassing part.
"I'm sorry, miss, but your secondary card has been frozen. It seems your primary card has hit its limit."
With her mask still on, Yun Zhi Yue felt like she could dig a hole and bury herself.
A surge of frustration built up inside her as she forced herself to hold back. She thought about asking Ji Yan if she could borrow some money just to resolve this situation.
Suddenly, a beautifully manicured hand reached out from behind her, holding out a black card between two fingers. "Use this."
As she took off her mask, Yun Zhi Yue's face turned as red as a monkey's bottom. She wanted to see him—not in such an embarrassing moment.
It felt like being scrutinized by paparazzi as they watched her every move and eagerly captured every detail.
"How ridiculous! You gave me your secondary card only for it to be frozen? Is this some kind of deliberate humiliation?"
"Listen to me, sister; don’t use his money. We don’t need it."
How should one evaluate this statement?
If one were to say that Yun Xiaoxiao lacked common sense, at least she knew to avoid mentioning her and Nie Yi's names in public.
But if one were to argue that she had some sense, then avoiding those names seemed utterly pointless; it was clear that she was obsessed with Ji Yan and Jian Qin while being supported by Nie Yi without any financial backing herself.
Yun Zhi Yue said coldly, "This card is mine."
Yun Xiaoxiao was even more surprised. "Why use a secondary card? What about your main card? Who maxed it out for you?"
She didn't want to explain to Yun Xiaoxiao, who had a million questions.
Yun Zhi Yue whispered, "Thank you, Jian Shu. I will pay you back. Let's go handle the paperwork and transfer the Raw Stone venue."
Yun Xiaoxiao immediately followed, constantly asking, "Who drained your money? Just tell me!"
Yun Zhi Yue wished she could block her ears, leaning weakly against the wall and waiting for the Raw Stone to be cut, enduring Yun Xiaoxiao's relentless questioning.
Ji Yan crossed his arms and watched the two sisters, who had completely different personalities. He turned to Jian Qinzhi with a smirk and asked, "Can you guess who drained her money?"
Jian Qinzhi showed no interest and offered a straightforward comment: "You choose your own path; you have to bear the consequences."
Ji Yan clicked his tongue. "No wonder you're from the Six Roots of Purity. What's the point of living like that?"
Jian Qinzhi remained noncommittal but noticed the figure huddled in the corner and asked, "Have you heard of the Seventh Root?"
Ji Yan was taken aback. "What Seventh Root?"
"Nothing much. Some say my Six Roots of Purity is missing the Seventh Root."
Ji Yan paused for a moment before bursting into laughter. "That's quite a vivid description; isn't it just missing the Seventh Root!"
