NOVEL WEB Chapter 23 Jade Stone Appreciation Party
“Why hasn’t Wan’er come back yet?” Jun Haitian was on the verge of vomiting blood. He twisted his face in anger as he saw Jun Qianqian, who could do nothing but cry on the bed.
The steward crawled in and said, “Sir, please calm down! Jun Jiu… she should be eliminated!”
Jun Haitian didn’t regret the idea of getting rid of Jun Jiu; he only regretted not doing it sooner. If he had eliminated her earlier, he wouldn’t be facing these problems now. With Jun Jiu on guard, it would be even more challenging to take any action against her.
The steward wiped sweat from his forehead, his expression filled with anxiety. “Master, Madam will return home tomorrow, but Miss Wan won’t come back for the time being.”
“She can’t come back? Her younger sister has been ruined by someone, and she can’t return? Does she want to wait for me?” Jun Haitian was getting agitated. “Her father and mother were also killed by Jun Jiu, and she’s willing to come back?”
“No, no, master,” the steward hurriedly explained. “Miss Wan is in charge of overseeing our family’s business. Do you still remember Master Jun Lei? She’s the mistress of the family and quite well-known in our circle.”
Upon hearing this, Jun Haitian’s anger was instantly extinguished. His expression changed, and he asked, “Why is Jun Lei here?”
“Miss Wan mentioned that it might have something to do with Jun Jiu, so she suggested we make preparations in advance. Miss Wan invited Lord Jun Lei to the Stone Appreciation Club and plans to return to the Jun Mansion later.”
Jun Wan’er was also preparing for the situation, but she didn’t know that eliminating Jun Jiu at this moment would be as difficult as reaching the sky. Moreover, Jun Jiu was not at the Jun Mansion at all, and her whereabouts were unknown.
Jun Haitian gritted his teeth. “Bi Luo, go back and wait. As soon as Jun Jiu returns, report to me immediately!”
“Yes,” Bi Luo replied and stepped back.
Turning his attention to Jun Qianqian again, Jun Haitian’s face reflected deep pain. “Qianqian, don’t worry. My father will definitely avenge you. He will make Jun Jiu pay dearly for her actions!”
Ah, Jun Qianqian suddenly became filled with excitement. She wanted Jun Jiu to die, to witness her being beaten to death. She wished for Jun Jiu to suffer more than death itself. At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten that Bi Luo was one of Jun Jiu’s people.
Were they leading the way? In reality, there was no such thing.
…
Outside Fengluo City, there was a stone appreciation event. This event took place on the fifteenth day of each month, set up just outside the mountain where the quarry was located. Despite its remote location with few people around, the courtyard for the stone appreciation event was quite impressive.
As Jun Jiu approached the entrance, she noticed that many carriages were already parked outside. The guards stationed at the entrance wore strange expressions upon seeing her.
“Stop!”
One of the guards stopped Jun Jiu and spoke disdainfully, “Where did this little girl come from? This is a stone appreciation event, not a place for children to play. Come on, move along!”
Jun Jiu frowned and replied coldly, “I’m here to participate in the stone appreciation event.”
“You?” The guards burst into laughter.
Another guard pointed at Jun Jiu and chuckled, “Young lady, are you the only one participating in the stone appreciation event? Are you joking? Do you even have money? Move aside and don’t block the way for the distinguished guests behind you.”
Just as they spoke, the sound of a carriage approaching reached their ears. The guard at the gate changed his expression and said, “It’s the Jun Mansion’s carriage! Quick, go in and inform the steward.”
“The Jun Mansion’s carriage?” Jun Jiu looked back and saw the approaching carriage. Indeed, it bore the emblem of the Jun Mansion. The two individuals who disembarked from the carriage caused Jun Jiu’s pupils to contract.
Jun Wan’er and Jun Lei!
Both of them were etched in her memory. Jun Wan’er was the eldest daughter of the Jun Mansion’s branch in Fengluo City, while Jun Lei served as the family’s steward and was highly regarded in their social circle.
