Huang Chengjing knew better. Back when she gave him a helping hand in picking stones, she was waiting for today, the punishment for Zhu Qianlan.
Moreover, Zhu Qianlan's departure would be greatly welcomed by him. After all, he was tired of dealing with women like her.
Jiang Yao gave Huang Chengjing a big thumbs-up after hearing his reply.
Zhu Qianlan probably did not expect Huang Chengjing's refusal to help, Jiang Yao thought, the lady was probably regretful that she offended her.
After all, Jiang Yao and Huang Chengjing were the only people at the trade fair who chose not to open the stones they bought on the spot. Without Huang Chengjing's help, Zhu Qianlan's only hope rested on Jiang Yao.
However, she managed to anger Jiang Yao before even meeting Huang Chengjing. That said, Zhu Qianlan would never come to Jiang Yao for help now.
"Oh, I almost forgot." Jiang Yao smacked her forehead and looked in Lu Yuqing's direction with a smirk and said, "My husband asks you to leave my sister alone."
Huang Chengjing was not surprised at all. He saw it from Lu Xingzhi's expression, a clear message to leave his sister alone.
"Yuqing is an independent person and knows how to think for herself." Huang Chengjing did not think Lu Yuqing to be the sort of person who would adhere to people's opinions. That she went to Nanjiang City alone meant that she was an independent character.
As long as he could impress Lu Yuqing, there was nothing Lu Xingzhi could do.
"How optimistic." Jiang Yao snickered. "Good luck."
Lu Yuqing nodded and stole a glance at Jiang Yao. That was why.
"Didn't you say you have to go for the selection process again?" asked Jiang Yao.
"The selection at Ying County is ending early. The folks that remain, and are top three in results gets to enter the third-round selection. The rest is not eliminated but proceeds to the second-round selection. As for the eliminated people, they will be returning to their respective bases."
Lu Xingzhi smiled. He was pleased with himself. "I am proceeding straight to the third-round selection as the number one participant."
To say the selection process at Ying County was gruelling was an understatement. Nobody slept well at all during the days and nights in the mountains.
