Without mentioning the two women's confrontation inside, Li You Ran walked outside and saw an appraiser who looked like a beggar. He said uncertainly: "Hello! Are you that appraiser?"

  "That's right, it's me! But let me find someone I know and save me!" After that, he sat down on the side of the road.

  "What's going on? Weren't you doing well at Dai Jin Jewelry? I was even planning to go there and sell something again!" Li You Ran asked curiously.

  "What! You're still going to go? Listen to me, don't go, or you'll end up like me. Look at me, I'm being pursued by the Yuan Group's people and that's why I'm in this state." The appraiser pointed to his own body as he spoke.

  "Yuan's group? Why did they catch you?"

  "It's not your precious gem that's making a fuss, I just studied it for a bit and ended up getting caught! If I hadn't run fast, who knows, maybe by now I'd be at the bottom of the river."

  "Are you kidding me? The Yuanshi Group is a big conglomerate, how could they make such a big fuss over just one gemstone? Besides, isn't the gemstone in their possession? Unless... oh I get it, you must have damaged the gemstone during appraisal, right? Serves you right! Haha! Let them scam me!"

  Li You Ran said with a tone of schadenfreude.

  "Don't be too happy yet! It's not that the gemstone has a problem, but its value is too great! Do you still remember the new element I mentioned? I just scraped off a tiny bit of powder from the surface of that gemstone and discovered something interesting. With the power of the Yuan Group, you must have researched it even more thoroughly than me. You think you can sell this gemstone and get away with it? The way I look now might be your future appearance, and who knows, you might end up worse off than me."

  Seeing Li You Ran's sarcastic expression, the appraiser still gave him a piece of advice, which could also be said to be intimidating him. After all, the gemstone was too precious, and even the head of the Yuan Group wouldn't believe that there would be two such treasures in one place. Of course, they would come to investigate, but it wouldn't be as severe as the appraiser had said.

  "You think you can scare me? Haha! It's impossible, I've already sold the gemstone. Even if they find me here, at most it'll just be a search! Let them search, anyway I don't have it anymore. Besides, I don't even know what secrets the gemstone holds, who would care about a nobody like me?"

  Li You Ran is not the same as that kid who was scared silly by a few words back then! If it were now, that gemstone would definitely be sold for 300 million, just thinking about that gemstone makes Li You Ran furious.

  The appraiser was taken aback! Ah, yes! He was being pursued because he had secretly studied the powder of that gemstone and made a discovery. However, he was just curious about it and didn't intend to use it for anything. As an ordinary person without power or influence, he couldn't even turn it into money. Moreover, his hobby was doing research, and he wasn't even good at using money.

  "I'll tell you the secret of the gem right now!"

  The appraiser gritted his teeth and decided to drag Li You Ran down with him. He had become so miserable, yet this kid was here eating and flirting with girls! It was absolutely unbearable.

  "I don't want to listen! Pretend you haven't seen me! I haven't seen you either! I'm leaving! You can keep running!"

  Li You Ran covered his ears with both hands, then slowly backed away, preparing to return to the store. He was in a hurry to take He Mei Li and run, but he wasn't worried at all? That's impossible, heaven knows what those rich people are thinking?

  "I can't run anymore! If you don't want to listen, then I'll just wait here for them to come and catch me! And then tell them that you know the purpose of the gemstone! And there's still one in my hand."

  Li You Ran stopped in his tracks, the appraiser's mouth curled up, threatening success.

  "Hey, you should have a conscience! Do you know that's slander?!" Li You Ran returned to his side.

  "There's a way to make me not speak too."

  "What's the solution?"

  "Help me! Escape the pursuit, just for this moment when the wind blows over, I will leave immediately and hide far away, absolutely won't implicate you, how about it!"

  Li You Ran was excited about the proposal, but he didn't want to stir up more trouble. After thinking for a while, he decided to move to the villa first and then inform his parents. He would rent out the old house to this guy and let him hide there for now.

  "Alright! Take a taxi there, remember this community, I have an old house there with all the necessities of life, enough for you to live for two months. I'll check on you regularly. Is that okay?"

  Li You Ran's mother was afraid that Li You Ran would not be able to cook for himself at home, so she bought a lot of food supplies in the supermarket, all of which were long shelf-life foods, enough to support him for two or three months. Who would have thought that this thoughtful gesture would end up benefiting the appraiser instead?

  "Alright! Don't worry, I won't implicate you." The appraiser patted Li You Ran's shoulder and said.

  Then he wanted to leave by taxi, but after touching his pocket, he turned around with some embarrassment and said: "Do you have any money? My pocket is broken, and when I came out, the money and documents I brought were all gone. If I walk, maybe ten minutes later I'll be in their hands! At that time, you can't escape either."

  Li You Ran rolled her eyes! She didn't expect this scientist to be so helpless, and reluctantly took out 200 yuan, saying: "Here, take it! It's enough for a taxi ride to my house, and the rest is considered your living expenses."

  The appraiser glanced at Li You Ran with disdain, then snatched the item away and muttered to himself as he walked off, "Sold for 40 million, but only gave a living allowance of 2 million. You've got some nerve speaking up."

  He took the money and still said that, Li You Ran felt an urge to vomit blood.

  Watching him get on the car and leave, Li You Ran walked into the store and said to He Mei Li: "Have you eaten? After eating, let's go take care of some things, then go check out my new home! Maybe you'll like it!"

  He Meili was about to respond when Tang Mingying interrupted, "Mr. Li, are you going to the villa? I'm also heading there! Auntie Li asked me to renovate her house for her. I'll go take a look too, it should be finished in these few days."

  "Hey, don't call me Mr. Li! My name is Li You Ran! Just call me You Ran, since my mom said so, it's fine if you take a look! I'm not really good at aesthetics."

  "Hmm! Aunt and I have said it before! Your aesthetic sense is indeed problematic." Then she pursed her lips and stole a glance at Hermione.

  This gaze is so beautiful, yet she still doesn't know the meaning of this phrase! Isn't it just saying that she's not pretty enough?! Saying a woman is not pretty, what a huge grudge! He Meili thinks that if you have a grudge, you must report it back, otherwise, you're not a real woman. Of course, she can't do it in front of Li You Ran, or else she'll really have no chance with him. No matter what kind of man he is, he won't like a nagging woman. Smart women deal with men, while foolish women only know how to deal with other women! As long as Li You Ran likes her, his parents will eventually accept her too. Moreover, after meeting Li You Ran's parents, who knows who will win or lose?!

  Li You Ran did not notice anything abnormal between the two women at all.
