Rebirth's guilt

The weather is getting cooler, and there are withered and yellow leaves on the tips of the branches, swaying with the breeze, as if they will fall at any time.

Tonight, Qiao's house was no longer as quiet and peaceful as it used to be. The guests coming and going leaned against the red and green, laughing and cursing, which brought a lot of life to this quiet house.

Like a stone thrown into the water, it makes circles of ripples.

Qiao Boyi stood at the corner of the second floor and looked at Qiao Zhishen who was welcoming the guests at the door with a smile. He originally wanted Qiao Zhishen to pick up the lady from Du Tuo's family.Unexpectedly, Qiao Zhishen refused on the grounds that the host should welcome guests at home, and only sent Qiao He to pick them up.

It was not too early at this time, the sky had already darkened, Qiao Boyi also saw many acquaintances, and was about to go down to say hello.There were footsteps coming from the distance in the corridor, and when he turned his head, it was Qiao Yu.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Boyi asked Qiao Yu's strange expression.Qiao Yu walked up to stand behind him, and said slowly: "Master Jin from the jadeite processing factory has come over, and he also brought a huge piece of jadeite wool, and put it in the hall behind."

Qiao Boyi was stunned for a moment, "Emerald wool?" He frowned, shook his hands and said, "Go down and ask Ah Shen, is it arranged by him?"

Hearing this, Qiao Yu backed away quietly, and Qiao Boyi waited for a while to straighten his clothes before walking down the winding escalator.Someone below saw him with keen eyes, and many acquaintances came over to greet him.

Qiao Yu quietly came to Qiao Zhishen's side, and opened his mouth to ask, "Young master, Master Jin from the jadeite processing factory has come, and he brought a piece of wool, but did you order it?"

Qiao Zhishen nodded slightly, "Where is he now?"

"It's in the back hall. I heard him say that you are going to dissect stones at the banquet? The old man asked me to ask how you arranged it." Qiao Yu said slowly, and glanced at the people in the crowd. Qiao Boyi.

Qiao Zhishen looked over, and said calmly: "Let Master Jin put the wool and jade cutting machine in the center of the hall at the back. I will invite all the guests over after the banquet starts, and please go and take care of it."

Qiao Yu smiled and nodded in agreement.Qiao Zhishen said again: "I'll talk to Grandpa, you can go over and help with the arrangement now. That piece of wool is huge, I'm afraid it will take several people to move it."

Qiao Yu nodded, and left without saying anything.

Qiao Zhishen saw that he was gone, so he walked towards Qiao Boyi and explained his arrangement.Qiao Boyi frowned when he heard that, and said, "Why are you messing around like that? What kind of material is that? If everything goes wrong, what are you going to do? Today's guests are all..."

"Grandpa, I have a sense of proportion, don't worry!" Before Qiao Boyi finished speaking, Qiao Zhishen interrupted him, "I still have something to do, so I'll go first." He saw An Yanqing coming in, so he hurried to find him an excuse to get out.

Qiao Boyi looked at his back as he turned and left, and gasped heavily in anger.Once again seeing An Yanqing enter the door, he didn't understand what was going on, and felt even more unhappy.

Jin Jingzhi watched him standing alone, and walked over, "Brother Qiao, why is he standing here alone? We haven't seen each other for a long time, and you didn't come to the reception I held last time..."

As soon as An Yanqing came in, he felt that the furnishings in this hall looked very familiar. On the other side of the escalator on the second floor, there were several glass display cases near the wall, inside which were placed various jadeite objects.

A lot of people gathered around the showcase, holding wine glasses, appraising jade wares, and talking loudly at the same time.Knowing that her three jade wares were all here, An Yanqing walked forward, looked around while walking, and happened to meet Qiao Zhishen who was walking over.

He was a little surprised when he saw Qiao Zhishen coming alone, and asked with an unnatural expression, "Why didn't you go with Miss Duto?"

Qiao Zhishen bent his mouth, and without answering, he took his hand and walked towards the hall behind.An Yanqing couldn't figure out what he meant, so she walked over to him in a daze.

The back hall was separated from the front hall by a mahogany door carved with rose flowers. Qiao Zhishen pushed one of the doors open, and the two of them slipped in and quickly closed the door.Turning around to see, Qiao Yuzheng and Master Jin moved the jade cutting machine to the wool.

And that piece of Wool Big Mac was covered by a huge red cloth, so it was impossible to see what was inside.On the other side of the wool, there are many bright flashlights and a blue basin filled with clear water.

Qiao Zhishen was very satisfied to see that Qiao Yu and Master Jin had arranged the place in an orderly manner.An Yanqing also looked at it, but what he cared more was that Qiao Zhishen was holding his hand all the time, and Master Jin and several servants had already looked at it several times.

Qiao Zhishen didn't know how to measure it as usual, so he let go quickly, but clenched it even tighter, not caring about other people's eyes at all.Qiao Yu glanced at them, pursed her lips and gave Qiao Zhishen a wink, telling him not to go too far.

Seeing this, Qiao Zhishen let go.He really wanted to tell everyone that the person he loved was An Yanqing, but he knew he couldn't do that.Feelings are one thing, but responsibility is another.

If he and An Yanqing were quiet, perhaps his grandfather might accept it, and Qiao Yu would still support him.But if the trouble is known to everyone and affects the reputation of the Qiao family, then it is really impossible for him and An Yanqing.

Seeing that they had no intention of going out while staying here, Qiao Yu walked over to them and said, "Young master and Mr. An should go out to entertain guests first. It would be nice if Master Jin and I are here, and Qiao He should be back."

Qiao He has been out for a long time, and at this time, it is time to pick up that Miss Duto and come back.

He knew what his old man meant. Although he could reluctantly accept the fact that his son and grandson were gay, he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that his grandson would turn back.

Qiao Zhishen understood Qiao Yu's unfinished words in his heart, and reluctantly pulled An Yanqing out again.

Qiao Boyi was talking with Jin Jingzhi, and when he turned around, he saw the two coming out of the hall at the back, the smile on his face suddenly subsided, and he waved to Qiao Zhishen expressionlessly.

An Yanqing looked at Qiao Zhishen, Qiao Zhishen gave him a comforting smile, and pulled him to walk over together.Jin Jingzhi also saw the two of them, but he didn't think much, and greeted them with a smile.

An Yanqing was a little restrained, she kept talking to Jin Jingzhi, but listened to what Qiao Zhishen and Qiao Boyi were talking about.However, Jin Jingzhi insisted on dragging him to see Fei Cui, so he had to secretly wink at Qiao Zhishen.

Seeing An Yanqing and Jin Jingzhi leave, Qiao Zhishen turned to look at Qiao Boyi.Qiao Boyi ordered angrily, "Prisina should be here too, go pick her up at the gate."

Qiao Zhishen heard the words and was about to say something when suddenly the phone rang.Qiao Zhi took a deep look at Qiao Boyi, and Qiao Boyi had no choice but to let him answer the phone first.

Qiao Zhishen went to the corner to answer the phone, rang for a while, hung up the phone and walked back, but his complexion improved a lot.Seeing him come back, Qiao Boyi said, "Hurry up!"

"The call just now was from Qiao He," Qiao Zhi said with a deep smile, "He said that Miss Du Tuo had something to do suddenly, and I'm afraid I won't be able to attend the meeting tonight."

Qiao Boyi was stunned, narrowed his eyes, and asked reflexively, "What did you do?"

Qiao Zhi shook his head deeply, and said sincerely: "I didn't do anything, I guess TH Jewelry Company has something to do." Qiao Boyi looked at him suspiciously, seeing that his expression did not seem to be fake, so he didn't say anything else.

Qiao Zhishen really didn't do anything, it was Qiao Zhinian who did it.Just now Qiao He said that Priscina Duto has already booked a flight back to Europe, and I am afraid she will not come to Hong Kong again in a short time.

There were more and more guests, Qiao Boyi led Qiao Zhishen around, seeing this elder for a while, and seeing another cooperative boss for a while, he was as busy as a spinning top.

Here, Jin Jingzhi pulled An Yanqing to look at the jade wares in the exhibition, and happened to see the statue of Avalokitesvara carved by An Yanqing.Many people gathered in front of the display case of the Guanyin statue, discussing together in twos and threes, and many people's faces were full of excitement.

Jin Jingzhi looked at the Guanyin statue carefully with a magnifying glass, and he also looked excited, and his voice became even more high-pitched, "It is actually carved with a whole piece of old pit glass. I haven't seen such a large piece of glass for many years." gone."

"This carver is also good, with smooth lines and clear textures. The beautiful jade carving technique used, seeing how well the colors are handled, should be bright and pressed, especially the pair of eyes, it seems to be alive Like." Jin Jingzhi said while watching, while An Yanqing's face turned red when she heard it.

Jin Jingzhi's voice was so loud that many people heard it, and some echoed it.An Yanqing was happy and shy at the same time. He was not such a good carver before, but it was thanks to his mental strength that he was able to do so well.

But they didn't talk for long, and the sound of the microphone came from their ears.Mrs. Qiao really stood in front of the gate in the middle of the front and back halls. An Yanqing listened for most of it, and it was all about scenes.

He and Jin Jingzhi were standing in the front, and Qiao Zhishen squeezed over at some point.An Yanqing glanced at him, and asked, "Why didn't you stay by Mrs. Qiao's side?"

Qiao Zhishen thought he would ask Priscina Duto first, but who knew he would ask this, and replied: "Grandpa will invite the guests to the back hall after he finished speaking. You said you would help me cut stones. Now it’s time to find help.”

As soon as he finished speaking, An Yanqing heard Qiao Boyi's words through the microphone, "... Please watch in the back hall!"

Qiao Zhishen pulled him and walked towards the center of the back hall with the guests. Most of the guests were noisy, and it was a rare thing to unravel stones at a banquet.

In the past, some emerald bosses liked to do this, but now there are very few.After all, no one can guarantee a certain price increase. If everything goes wrong, it is a trivial matter to lose face. If the company's stock price falls, there is no place to cry.

When the guests arrived in the back hall, they were all surprised when they saw the outline of the emerald wool under the red cloth, it was so big.But Jin Jingzhi, Yan Qiaosong and Qiao Boyi, who had seen this piece of wool before, had ugly faces.

Qiao Boyi and the others naturally knew what the Big Mac was.

Qiao Boyi's face recovered in an instant, but he kept piercing Qiao Zhishen with his eyes, wanting to go over and ask him what he was doing.

Jin Jingzhi went to Qiao Boyi's side and asked quietly: "What are you doing? Could it be that this piece of wool really has jadeite?" Qiao Boyi was also worried, but he didn't show it at all on his face, and smiled enigmatically. , do not speak.

Seeing this, Jin Jingzhi didn't ask any more questions. Over there, Qiao Zhishen and An Yanqing had already taken off the red cloth.

Many well-informed people have already guessed that this piece of jadeite wool must be the Big Mac that BIANCO spent [-] million yuan in Myanmar to photograph.

The tangent line has been drawn on the emerald skin, just cut it.Qiao Zhishen pressed the switch of the jade cutting machine and walked to Qiao Boyi's side. He saw that Qiao Boyi's eyes were wrong just now, so he naturally guessed the reason, so he came to explain.

Yan Qiaosong leaned close to An Yanqing and began to inquire quietly.Some people who have heard that this piece of wool has ruined their bets before looked at the grinding wheel on the jade cutting machine in doubt, guessing what the Qiao family meant.

For a while, the whole hall looked like a vegetable market, for a while there was the sharp cutting sound of cutting machines, and for a while there was the noisy noise of customers muttering.

This time the jade cutting machine was the largest, and the grinding wheel was very sharp. It took about [-] minutes to cut this giant piece horizontally.An Yanqing turned off the power, but did not step forward to check it. He knew that this knife would definitely be excellent.

Qiao Zhishen was a little nervous, and subconsciously looked at An Yanqing, seeing him smiling, he ordered a few servants to come forward and remove the disconnected half.As the half piece of wool was removed, the cut surface appeared in front of everyone.

The hall suddenly fell into silence, after a pause of about a few seconds, the noise resumed, even more noisy.Many people's faces changed, especially Jin Jingzhi and Yan Qiaosong. After all, they concluded that this piece of wool was waste.

In front of everyone, on a flat cut surface, a circular jade belt leaped from the stone. The jade belt was purple in color, rich and pure, not too bright, but it had a graceful, elegant and overpowering beauty.

Who dares to say that this piece of wool is broken after this knife?

What is even more surprising is that the side of the jade belt is not a stone, but a piece of emerald, but this emerald is a real waste that has lost its moisture and luster.

It seems unreasonably evil!

Qiao Zhishen didn't start to make a second cut right away, but asked all the guests to take a magnifying glass and a bright flashlight to watch.Although Jin Jingzhi is old, he has quick legs and feet and grabbed the first place.
