Ruan Xueling couldn’t hold back any longer and interjected sharply, “Alright, enough. Just catch a little sunlight, and you’ll glow. How do your achievements compare to Jin’s and Jue’s?”

Meanwhile, Gu Zhaoming remained engrossed in scrolling through economic updates on his phone, not bothering to lift his gaze. “If you’re so capable, can you manage without pocket money starting next month?”

Gu Pei’s smile crumbled instantly, and she rushed to intervene. “Dad! Please, I was mistaken. Truth is, I’m completely broke now. Utterly destitute!”

With a sheepish wave of his hand, he brandished a gift, his wallet now deflated. He couldn’t even afford outings with his siblings anymore, relying on their generosity for pocket money.

Though Gu Zhaoming cast a brief glance in his direction, he remained silent.

Exhaling a sigh of relief, Gu Pei turned to Feng Jue with a smug gleam in her eyes. “Feng Jue, where’s the gift you prepared for my sister and the others?”

Gu Yang’s expression turned complex. Why did her brother always feel the need to compare himself to Feng Jue?

Before her birthday, Feng Jue had gifted her a luxurious perfume chamber filled with an array of expensive spices and essential oils. And today, he had presented her with a brand-new car.

Though the Little Blood Bank and the Big Shot Sister often found themselves locked in competition, seemingly at odds, there were moments when they became staunch allies.

The Big Shot Sister didn’t mince words with the Small Blood Bank, directly requesting a batch of cutting-edge equipment for the Yangning Research Institute.

However, these exchanges remained private affairs. Neither the Little Blood Bank nor the Big Shot Sister were keen on revealing their true identities too soon, keeping their collaboration under wraps.

“Me?” Feng Jue looked up at the mention, as if struck by a sudden idea. Retrieving a jade piece from his pocket, he continued, “Incidentally, my sister and I visited the stone gambling market today and acquired this jade.”

“I intend to have Mom fashion two pendants for Sister and the others.”

Though the jade wasn’t sizable, its rich green hue and substantial weight made it stand out.

Gu Pei grinned. “Just this small piece of jade? It’ll indeed suffice for two pendants.”

Yet, Ruan Xueling suddenly rose from her seat, eagerly approaching for a closer inspection. Her voice trembled with excitement. “Glass imperial jade?!”

Being well-versed in jewelry design and knowledgeable about various gems and jade, she could discern at a glance that this modest piece of jade held significant value.

Gu Zhaoming’s surprise was evident, his gaze towards Feng Jue growing more contemplative.

Gu Jin’s expression turned chilly. This dog was clearly flaunting his wealth! Flaunting it by indulging in stone gambling with her sister.

Gu Pei hadn’t anticipated such a strong reaction from Ruan Xueling. Curious, he couldn’t help but inquire, “Is Glass Imperial Jade really that extraordinary?”

Not particularly interested in jewelry or jade himself, Gu Pei’s knowledge in the area was limited.

Despite his lack of expertise, coming from a wealthy background meant he had some discernment. He recognized the quality of Feng Jue’s jade, but presumed its small size would diminish its value. Thus, he couldn’t fathom why Ruan Xueling was so enthralled.

Frustrated that Feng Jue’s gift had overshadowed his own, Gu Pei muttered, “Perhaps he can afford such jade with the profits from his stone gambling ventures.”

Ruan Xueling shot him an angry glance. “If you’re not confident, why not try your hand at it?”

Gu Yang couldn’t help but chuckle at the exchange, before enlightening Gu Pei, “Brother, let me explain. A polished pendant crafted from Glass Imperial Jade like Ah Jue’s easily fetches a seven-figure price tag.”

Ruan Xueling beamed with approval, giving Gu Yang a thumbs-up. “Yangyang truly has a keen eye. Just as expected from Mommy’s clever daughter.”

Gu Yang grinned at Ruan Xueling and proceeded to inform Gu Pei with pride, “Moreover, Ah Jue only spent less than 100,000 yuan on three raw stones.”

Upon hearing this revelation, both Ruan Xueling and Gu Zhaoming were further taken aback.

Feng Jue offered a shy smile, “It’s all thanks to Sister’s birthday luck.”

Gu Jin’s fists tightened. This dog was flaunting once more!
