Chapter 18

Luo Juan leaned back in the sofa, also looking impatient. Luo Bi gave Luo Yan a sidelong glance full of mockery. Guan Zhuting had just called her son and was now looking around, keeping an eye on the distance between Luo Yan and Luo Bi, afraid that Luo Yan might make a move.

"What's going on?" Luo Feifan first took a look at the situation in the room and then asked.

"Grandfather!" The two characters were drawn out especially long by Luo Yan, who had changed from her previous arrogance. Pouting, she stepped forward to complain: "Sister Luo Bi doesn't like me and would rather sell the red jadeite to someone else than give it to me."

Luo Feifan had already roughly understood the whole story through Luo Juan. He felt somewhat helpless; there was no problem with Luo Yan wanting the red jadeite, but the way she asked for it was wrong. He couldn't scold his beloved granddaughter, so he gave Luo Juan a reproachful glare, thinking that he couldn't even handle a quarrel between two sisters, which showed a lack of ability.

When Luo Feifan turned to face Luo Yan again, he said kindly, "Your sister Luo Bi isn't that kind of person; you've misunderstood her."

At this moment, Feng Ling had already entered and was talking to Wen Yao.

Wen Yao was somewhat surprised to see Feng Ling: "Feng Ling, why are you here?" Both of them were from the Imperial Star and had some interactions, so they were considered acquaintances.

Feng Ling's sharp gaze swept around the room, finally landing on Luo Bi, before he answered: "My fiancée bet on a piece of fourth-grade red jadeite. I heard someone was interested, so I came to take a look."

He didn't mention that someone was making things difficult for Luo Bi, but Wen Yao understood the whole story and felt a bit troubled. Although Feng Ling had a low genetic strength level, he was still a member of the royal family. If this matter wasn't handled well, it could be disadvantageous for him.

However, Wen Yao, looking at Luo Bi beside Feng Ling, said with some surprise: "Your fiancée?"

Luo Bi felt uncomfortable under the gaze and glanced away.

Feng Ling nodded and said "Mm" without further explanation, then changed the topic and asked, "What's really going on?"

Wen Yao knew he couldn't hide it and briefly explained the situation with Luo Yan demanding the red jadeite.

"Wanting to take it for free?" Feng Ling was quite disdainful of the Luo family's method of demanding, and he sneered, "Really not being polite."

He turned his head to ask Luo Bi, "What do you think?"

"I have a use for the red jadeite and don't want to give it to her." Luo Bi answered straightforwardly. Even if she didn't need the red jadeite, she wouldn't give it to Luo Yan. If Luo Yan wanted her things, she could only dream!

Feng Ling understood her stance. When Luo Feifan had calmed Luo Yan and turned to talk to Luo Bi, Feng Ling took over the conversation.

Luo Feifan secretly blamed Luo Bi for bringing Feng Ling, but he didn't show it on his face. He explained that Luo Yan urgently needed a third-grade or higher jadeite and concluded, "This piece of fourth-grade red jadeite is key to Xiao Yan passing the apprentice test. Otherwise, Xiao Yan wouldn't have lost her composure and upset Luo Bi."

He sighed and added, "Go and talk to her. This child has been spoiled since she was young."

Feng Ling raised an eyebrow but didn't move: "Fourth-grade red jadeite is not common, and the price is not low. What price is the head of the Luo family offering?"

Feng Ling had been a deputy for several years on the Scorching Emperor Star, skilled in strategy and tactics. Knowing the Luo family's intentions, he didn't beat around the bush but directly brought up the interstellar currency, leaving Luo Feifan no room to avoid the topic.

Luo Feifan's face showed a hint of anger, but Feng Ling was unperturbed: "As the saying goes, even brothers should settle accounts clearly. It's better to be clear within the family to avoid future conflicts."

Luo Yan pouted and opened her mouth to speak, but Luo Juan secretly pinched her arm, and she reluctantly closed her mouth.
