Four people walked ahead, chatting and laughing, while those following behind wore faces of fury; among them, Shangguan Rou and Li Meisu looked particularly displeased. Gu Duoduo and Yu Zijin, both sly, followed with insincere smiles plastered on their faces.
As expected of the Gu Family, big shots in the stone-gambling industry, they occupied over half of the storefronts on Antique Street. Inside, their store was bustling with people, and countless stones were on display. Gu Weixiong, his large belly protruding, was all smiles, engaging in pleasant conversation with someone.
"Daddy, Miss Shangguan is here to pick out a few stones," Gu Duoduo exclaimed upon spotting Gu Weixiong, drawing the attention of everyone in the store to their group.
"Duoduo, mind your manners," Gu Weixiong chided lightly. Although his tone suggested reproach, there wasn't a hint of real blame in his voice. He even took a few steps toward Shangguan You, his face wearing a polite smile.
