He didn’t ask what happened, only responded, “How big of a task do you want?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Something that will keep her too busy to bother her family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun could tell that although Su Mian complained about Ye Miaoshan, she didn’t really want to break ties with them completely. Therefore, it couldn’t be too extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Yao confirmed he understood and hung up the phone to make the arrangements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but sigh, “Is there a CEO more miserable than me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Managing a big conglomerate, yet still having to play the nanny, on top of doing copy work from time to time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsk, he was so pitiable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…Ye Miaoshan received an invitation to an antiques exchange meeting, and she was somewhat surprised when she got it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she had no interest in such things and had never attended before, she wondered why she had been invited?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the invitation was from the Lin Family, which held a high status in the jewelry and cosmetics industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although unsure why, she would certainly not refuse an opportunity to meet more people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Miaoshan changed into an evening gown and set off for the gathering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mrs. Su, welcome to our gathering,” the Lin matriarch greeted her with a full-faced smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Miaoshan was pleasantly surprised, “Mrs. Lin is too kind, this is my first time attending such an event, and I’m quite interested.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so, that’s wonderful, Mrs. Su, please enjoy yourself,” said Mrs. Lin half-jokingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Lin added with a playful tone, “There’s a gambling with stones session at the gathering every year. Mrs. Su, if you’re interested, you might want to participate and see. You might just uncover a valuable gem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, then I must have a look,” Ye Miaoshan replied politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never gambled with stones and wasn’t very interested in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once inside the venue, she indeed saw many prominent figures from the antiques and jewelry industries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Miaoshan was eloquent and at ease at the banquet, mingling and laughing with others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It somewhat eased the frustration she felt from the way Su Mian treated her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t matter if her sons and daughters couldn’t match Su Mian’s children; when it came to social relationships, Su Mian definitely couldn’t match her prowess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this way, her shaky self-esteem was rebuilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the banquet approached its climax, the most thrilling segment finally began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One raw stone after another was brought onto the stage, and participants could buy with money. If anyone wanted to compete, they could place bids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A master would cut the stones on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a game of luck as much as a test of judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first raw stone was taken by a wealthy businessman for a hundred thousand yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Miaoshan watched these people spend money on a few worthless stones, contemptuously thinking they had more money than sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until the wealthy businessman’s stone was cut, revealing green, and professional appraisal deemed it worth at least a million yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Miaoshan’s face showed astonishment, “This, this stone really turned out to be a treasure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, that’s the thrill of gambling with stones,” replied a noblewoman with a laugh, “Mrs. Su, won’t you play? Since you’re here, why not try your luck?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Miaoshan felt tempted, especially after seeing someone else’s stone cut to reveal a jade worth hundreds of thousands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t help thinking that her luck couldn’t be that bad, could it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after all, a stone didn’t cost much; she was only trying it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I’ve never done this, I don’t really understand it,” she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lady pointed to a stone and said, “I think this one looks quite good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without too much hesitation, Ye Miaoshan bit her lip and tentatively spent ten thousand yuan on a stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she actually made the purchase, she regretted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until the raw stone was cut to reveal a jade worth a million yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Miaoshan’s heart was filled with excitement, her eyes incredulous; the ten thousand had turned into a hundredfold!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Congratulations, congratulations, Mrs. Su, you really have good luck.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, she’s the luckiest person tonight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman said with a smile, “Isn’t it interesting?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, it is quite interesting.” Ye Miaoshan felt light as a feather and, without needing the woman to say more, had already started participating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, she continuously spent nearly a million yuan and uncovered a piece of jadeite of no low grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, among them, there were also some worthless stones, but overall, she made more than she lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Miaoshan became increasingly enthusiastic as she played.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t just playing blindly; she noticed that there was someone on the scene who had an especially good eye – whenever he said a particular stone was good, it would inevitably be a good find.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what was strange was that this person never bought anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Miaoshan failed to notice this detail. She simply bought whatever the man recommended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After opening several stones in succession, Ye Miaoshan’s trust in the man’s judgment grew more and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This one’s not bad; it might even yield glass-type jadeite.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Ye Miaoshan quickly made a bid, but since many others also seemed interested, the price kept rising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until finally, it soared to over five million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ten million!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this price, everyone in the room turned their attention to the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man spoke confidently, “I’ve been looking at so many, but I haven’t placed a bid. I was waiting for this raw stone, which is surely worth hundreds of millions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole room was in an uproar, and many people followed with their bids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carried away by the atmosphere, Ye Miaoshan began to grow a bit impatient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of millions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s a lot of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had a bit of money, but not hundreds of millions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Any more bids?” the host asked, “If not, thirty million, once, thirty million, twice…”Ye Miaoshan glanced at the man, determined to win. In a rush of excitement and with red-hot eyes, she said, “I—I bid forty million!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forty million was already a high price, and nobody else in the venue continued to bid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Ye Miaoshan won the raw stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the man showed a face full of regret, “It’s a pity that I don’t have enough funds at hand right now, otherwise, I would definitely continue bidding.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his words, Ye Miaoshan’s confidence in the raw stone, sure that it would produce something good, grew even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The master cutter gradually sliced open the raw stone in front of everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Miaoshan held her breath, her eyes wide with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, a piece of jadeite was revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Miaoshan didn’t understand these things, but seeing that something had appeared, she was so excited she could hardly breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This must be jadeite worth hundreds of millions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she had much time to be excited, a professional announced, “It’s a piece of Mo Cui jadeite, valued at about 280,000 yuan. Congratulations to the lady.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room went silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s gaze, filled with peculiar expressions, turned toward Ye Miaoshan, whose face had turned stiff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spend forty million to uncover jadeite worth just 280,000—it was a stroke of luck unmatched by anyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Miaoshan’s face froze, and it took quite a while before she managed to squeeze out a sentence with a strained voice, “What? How much did you say it’s worth?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Valued at 280,000.” The appraiser gave her the precise answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Miaoshan was completely stunned, “Impossible! How could it be just 280,000? Could you have made a mistake?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Madam, are you doubting my professional standards?” the appraiser asked, displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, it’s impossible. Have someone else appraise it.” Ye Miaoshan refused to believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who came to this conference were all reputable, and after their appraisals, it was indeed a piece of Mo Cui jadeite.\u003C\u002Fp>",1361,"2026-06-09T06:21:36.110Z",1,"novelbin.me","33d7c1e64f91a2e53c56fc19ddeec3d01cb58fb328a323a9daa52b71e476cecd","hidden-identities-of-the-ai-heiress-chapter-500","hidden-identities-of-the-ai-heiress-chapter-498",1090,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhidden-identities-of-the-ai-heiress-cover.jpg"]
