Knowing that Baby Robbie had made up his mind, Jay stopped persuading him.
The two then arrived at the rough stone market. When Jay saw the rough stones that were in a pile, he furrowed his brows.
Although he had a superior IQ and was invincible in the business world, he was bad at authenticating treasure and setting a price for it.
To find a high-quality jade from this pile of rough stones was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack and sifting sand for gold.
When Baby Robbie saw Daddy frowning deeply, he asked curiously, "Are we here to gamble on stones?"
Jay nodded.
"What for?" Baby Robbie was even more curious now. After all, the Ares family was rich and powerful, so if they needed gemstones or jades, they could just buy them at a shop.
Jay replied, "Those commonplace women around your grand-uncle said that your mommy is dressed shabbily. They're neither pretty nor knowledgeable as your mother, and even their inner qualities can't compare to your mother, so who are they to look down
on her?"
Baby Robbie was struck dumb.
Did Daddy come to the rough stone market just to gamble for the most luxurious piece of jewelry for Mommy?
He never knew that Daddy had such a childish side to him.
Imperial Capital's rich young master, one who could change the fate of the capital with a single frown and make countless nouveau riche in the business field tremble with fear at the mere mention of his name, had come all the way to a rough stone market simply because his wife had been spurned?
The point was, he did not seem like someone who knew how to gamble on stone, though. Was he not worried that he would end up shooting himself in the foot?
"Hello, mister. Are you here to gamble on stones?" The rough stone seller was a wise-looking scrawny old man. His sharp gaze lingered on Jay's body as his black pupils rolled in their sockets. He probably saw through Jay and knew that even though he was well dressed, he was not someone who knew how to authenticate treasure. This was a God-given opportunity for him to make good money.
His assistant was a beautiful young girl. From the moment she laid eyes on Jay, she had never shifted her gaze from him since. Her love-struck gaze was both blazing and blunt.
