The gigolo kept by the matriarch turned out to be the heir to a wealthy family.

Chapter 140 Protective Token

Yun Yao pulled Luo Hong behind her, meeting the man's gaze.

No one paid attention to Luo Hong, who quickly returned to normal, nor did anyone care about the two people facing off. Their minds were completely absorbed in that "King of Stones," as if their souls had been sucked away.

Yun Yao lifted her foot and slowly walked towards the man. Luo Hong dared not step forward and obediently waited in place.

Sensing the terrifying pressure emanating from Yun Yao, the man seemed startled and quickly retreated into the crowd. Before Yun Yao could reach him, he had vanished without a trace.

Luo Hong breathed a sigh of relief and ran to Yun Yao's side.

"Ancestor, what's going on?"

“Luo Hong, we originally came here just to have some fun, but now, we need to meet with the Anna family,” Yun Yao said in a low voice.

Seeing Luo Hong's confusion, Yun Yao was about to explain when she sensed the surrounding crowd starting to stir, baring their teeth and claws as they moved toward the rough stone.

Yun Yao and Luo Hong were pushed out. Luo Hong patted his dusty robe, his face looking extremely ugly.

"Are these people crazy? It's just a rock!" Luo Hong said with dissatisfaction.

“You’re not wrong. After all, this isn’t an ordinary stone. Luo Hong, let’s go.” Yun Yao’s eyes gleamed with a hint of interest.

This trip was really interesting.

Although this open jade gambling event was organized by the Anna family, these organizers may not necessarily be present at the event.

However, their timing was quite good; the new heir of the Anna family had just arrived.

"Distinguished guests, this way please," the waiter said respectfully.

"Our young master is currently discussing matters. Please wait here for a moment. Once he is finished, I will arrange a meeting between you two."

Yun Yao nodded slightly, and after the waiter left, she pondered the events of the day.

Just as I was lost in thought, I caught a glimpse of a red dot in my eyes.

Luo Hong had just picked up his teacup when he was startled by Yun Yao's sudden standing up.

"Wh...what's wrong?" The old ancestor is really acting very strangely today!

Yun Yao walked towards a potted plant in the corner and then pulled out a camera.

Luo Hong watched as Yun Yao crushed the camera into a pile of dust.

"They're... spying on us?" Luo Hong was furious.

Yun Yao took out a tissue and wiped her fingers one by one.

"Luo Hong, I remember you said that the heir of the Anna family was just changed. Why was he changed? Tell me about it."

Yun Yao sat down, picked up the tea in front of her, and smelled it.

Once the topic came up, Luo Hong seemed to have opened a floodgate, and he began to talk on and on.

"The old patriarch of the Anna family was terminally ill. His will originally stated that his eldest son, Owen, would succeed him, but for some reason, he changed the will at the last minute and changed the heir to his illegitimate son, Daniel. The reason for this is unknown."

“Given Daniel’s spoiled brat nature, it’s no wonder the Anna family is in such bad shape under his control. Since he took over, all his habits and actions have been completely different from Owen’s, as if he’s deliberately going against him.” Luo Hong was still rambling on, but Yun Yao had fallen into deep thought.

Therefore, it seems that Daniel is not a good person either, and it is not impossible that he colludes with those shameless people.

"Luo Hong, have you had any contact with this Daniel?" Yun Yao suddenly spoke up, interrupting Luo Hong.

Luo Hong shook his head, a hint of smugness on his face.

"What is my status, and what is his status? Even if his father were here, he would have to address me as the head of the Qin family. He's just a lowly illegitimate son who can't be brought into the open. Does he deserve my special treatment?"

Yun Yao shook her head and chuckled. Luo Hong's face changes faster than turning the pages of a book; he probably already forgot how cautious she had been in the hall just now.

Seeing how concerned Yun Yao was about the Anna family, Luo Hong realized something was amiss.

"Ancestor, do you think that mysterious person is related to Daniel?" Luo Hong directly pointed out the key point.

Yun Yao nodded, her slender fingers resting on the armrest tapping absently.

"Luo Hong, the man you just saw wasn't human."

Yun Yao had no idea what kind of storm her words had stirred up in Luo Hong's heart. He stood there, stunned, his jaw almost dropping to the ground.

"No...not human?"

"Hmm, not human."

"Then he... is like you?" Luo Hong swallowed hard as he thought of this.

Yun Yao, however, seemed to have heard something amusing and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Luo Hong, do you really think being a god is so easy? Do you think those third-rate people are worthy of being called the same as me?" Yun Yao smiled faintly.

Hearing what his ancestors said, Luo Hong breathed a sigh of relief.

If there really were a large number of people stronger than the ancestor, he was more worried about the ancestor's safety. Although she was sometimes so arrogant that no one dared to disrespect or violate her, Luo Hong felt that most of the time she was just a bit eccentric and kind-hearted. She was the age of the ancestor, but she was like a little girl who had just entered the world and needed to be taught and protected.

The Qin family ancestors served her in the same way, showing respect and fear for their elders, as well as the patience and affection they showed to their daughter.

Yun Yao noticed the tension and worry in Luo Hong's eyes, and couldn't help but wave her hand in front of him.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

Luo Hong quickly shook his head.

"No, it's nothing."

Since he doesn't want to talk about it, Yun Yao won't force him.

With a flick of his wrist, a golden calligraphy brush landed in his palm.

"come over."

Yun Yao wrote a large "令" character on Luo Hong's back, and with a gentle touch, the character seeped into Luo Hong's skin.

In just a moment, Luo Hong felt a tingling heat coming from his back.

“Those bastards won’t be as merciful as I am. You’ve disturbed him today, which might bring unnecessary trouble. I’m giving you this protective charm. It can protect you from a fatal blow in a critical moment. And once it’s triggered, I’ll sense it. I don’t want you to meet your father so soon.”

Luo Hong: "..." The old ancestor is still as sharp-tongued as ever, but kind-hearted.

As the two were talking, there was a sudden knock on the door of the lounge.

"Distinguished guests, our young master has finished his meeting and agreed to attend your invitation. Please follow me."

The waiter had barely finished speaking when Luo Hong flew into a rage.

"Pah! Who does he think he is? Does he need me to invite him? Every year, it's his family begging me to come. This year, he doesn't even invite me, and I have to invite him? Who does he think he is?" Luo Hong cursed.

The waiter at the door also looked very unhappy, but he knew that he absolutely could not offend someone who dared to scold the young master like that, so he kept his head down and didn't say a word the whole time.

Yun Yao and Luo Hong left the lounge, and Su Yuchen and Chen Dong also left Daniel's reception room.

However, with just one turn, the two perfectly missed each other, and Yun Yao only caught a glimpse of the hem of a garment.

Seeing Yun Yao looking towards the elevator, Luo Hong also looked up and glanced at her.

"Ancestor, what are you looking at?"

"Nothing, let's go."

Yun Yao shook her head, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

They haven't been in contact since that phone call.

Am I seeing things? Everyone looks like him to me...
