Stepped Over Her Vicious Stepsister To Become The True Bigshot!-Chapter 55

55 First Visit to the Ghost Market

Gu Man did not have much hope for her first visit to the ghost market.

After shopping for a while, Gu Man realized that these stall owners basically did not speak, but they also kept glancing at the people who came.

If he saw that the other party was an expert, he would give him something really good. If the stall owner didn’t like them, they could only buy some obvious common goods.

At this moment, in the eyes of the stall owners, Gu Man was an outsider which they would ignore after a glance.

The most lively business in this ghost market was the stone gambling business. There were many people surrounding the stall, all of them coming with the fantasy of becoming rich overnight.

Gu Man looked at everyone holding small flashlights and looking at the stones of different colors. They pondered for a long time but were still undecided.

Stone gambling was like gambling with one’s life. Some people became rich overnight, while others went bankrupt overnight.

But Gu Man realized that she seemed to know which stone had something underneath the surface. She saw that some of the stones had a sparkling green color inside, while some were empty.

Although she knew that she had some special skills, this was the first time she had discovered this skill.

With these special skills, she would not have to worry about her livelihood in the future. But from her experience in her previous life, if the world knew about her special abilities, it would harm her.

Therefore, she would not let others know about her special skill, nor would she use it easily.

Just as Gu Man was about to leave, someone attracted her attention.

That person looked sad. Before he even started gambling, he already looked sad.

He grabbed a stone, clasped his hands together, and muttered, “Please protect me. My Niu Niu depends on this stone. If I lose the bet, let us die together.”

Gu Man couldn’t help but go forward and ask, “What’s wrong with your Niu Niu?”

It was a middle-aged uncle. When he saw someone beside him, he looked over and was surprised to see a young lady. However, the sorrow in his eyes did not decrease at all. “She’s sick. I don’t have the money to treat her.”

He looked at Gu Man and said, “She should be around your age. She’s still so young, but she’s seriously ill. I don’t have the ability to earn that much money.”

With that, the man wiped his face. “What are you, a young lady, doing here? It’s very chaotic here. Listen to Uncle and go back quickly.” His voice was filled with worry.

“It’s fine,” Gu Man replied.

“How about this one?” Gu Man picked another stone for the uncle. She was not sure if he would believe her.

The uncle looked at Gu Man and then at the stone. He forced a smile. “Why not? Anyway, I’m just guessing. Maybe you and my daughter are fated.”

Seeing that the uncle had taken the one she had picked, she stood up in relief and wanted to shop again. Unexpectedly, just as she stood up, she saw a familiar person.

At this moment, that person was looking at her.

Gu Man regretted it. She should have disguised herself before going to the ghost market so that she would not be recognized so easily.

That person walked towards her. It was too late for Gu Man to avoid him. She could only wait for him to reach her.

“Second Master,” Gu Man greeted him softly.

Xiang Yin was still uncertain at first glance. When he looked again, who else could it be but her?

She was still squatting there, kindly picking stones for someone else. Didn’t she know that if he lost the bet on that stone, that person would vent his anger on her?

For some reason, Xiang Yin was a little angry. “Why are you here?” ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖

“To shop.” Gu Man ignored Xiang Yin’s low mood.

Seeing Gu Man’s indifferent attitude, Xiang Yin was helpless. “Do you know where this is?”

“Since you know, why did you still come?” There was some worry in Xiang Yin’s low voice.

“I’m shopping late tonight. I wanted to continue shopping when I encountered the ghost market. I’ll go back now,” Gu Man explained.

After meeting Xiang Yin, Gu Man’s plan to investigate the ghost market would be ruined.

She was slightly annoyed. She did not gain anything from coming out in the middle of the night. How unlucky!

In the crowd, Bai Yun also appeared. When he saw Gu Man, he shouted in surprise, “Gu...” Realizing that he couldn’t speak loudly, he lowered his voice. “Miss Gu Man, why are you here? Are you alone?”

Gu Man did not want to explain anymore and only nodded.

Bai Yun looked at Gu Man and then at Xiang Yin. Both of them looked unhappy. What was wrong?𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶
