Gu Shiyin’s face, hidden under the cloak and mask, twitched slightly.
So the VIP Room No. 1 is actually that little girl...
She vividly rembered that at the door, this girl had a minor conflict with Chu Qiaoen, and the woman in white accompanying her imdiately took out Bao Gucheng’s family heirloom Jade Pendant...
Gu Shiyin looked up towards VIP Room No. 1, faintly feeling a piercing gaze, staring back at her across the distance.
She, who has always been composed and resilient, surprisingly couldn’t withstand the fierce aura of the other party and instantly avoided eye contact, not daring to look directly.
In that brief exchange of auras, her heart inexplicably skipped a few beats, as if oppressed by an overwhelming force!
Covering her chest, Gu Shiyin cald her emotions, and then smiled as she said to Xi Rubao, "Sure. The smallest value of your stone is also the most..., you can start first."
Although the words "lowest value" were not spoken, everyone tacitly burst into laughter: "Hahaha! The cheapest, of course to be opened first!"
After all, Xi Rubao was young and thin-skinned, and her face instantly turned bright red.
If she hadn’t rembered that she shouldn’t lose her composure or embarrass Zuzi in public, she would have jumped up and slapped the Treasure Appraiser across the face by now—damn it, you are a Treasure Appraiser, not a "cheap" appraiser, how could you speak so despicably, so disgustingly?
Having endured quite a bit, little Caoyu finally cald herself down: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and open."
Gu Shiyin instructed the apprentice to cut the small thumb-sized raw stone bought by Xi Rubao in half.
She personally explained, "This stone is too small, if cutting it in half doesn’t show any green, then it’s basically just brick material, no need to continue cutting..."
As she said, cutting it in half revealed two pieces of raw stone.
Not to ntion seeing any green, there wasn’t even a trace of gemstone.
The hall was filled with jeers.
"Little sister, don’t cry, isn’t it just ten thousand bucks?"
"Call brother and I’ll give you twenty thousand!"
"Oh my, I wouldn’t dare to claim such a spendthrift woman; spending ten thousand yuan to buy a brick material, even my illiterate country maid couldn’t do such a foolish thing."
"I heard she’s a county girl, a bit higher end than a country girl, haha!"
Listening to these uninhibited mocking and trampling remarks, Xi Rubao’s face turned greener than the jade.
Still gritting her teeth she insisted, "Why conclude that our stone is rubbish, keep cutting!"
Gu Shiyin shook her head, "No need. If we cut further, it’s only as big as a fingernail, and in my professional experience, there’s nothing inside. Next one—"
Just as the Top Treasure Appraiser S announced this piece of stone as worthless.
Xi Rubao couldn’t hold back anymore, to hell with restraint, to hell with her lady image, and to hell with etiquette and rules—she was about to blow up.
"Get lost! Next one, step aside, mine isn’t finished yet!" She snatched the raw stone from the apprentice’s hand and personally fed it into the stone cutter machine—thankfully, she had observed the apprentice’s gestures closely and understood a bit.
The machine buzzed as it cut around.
The fingernail-sized raw stone, cut in half, had its thin skin ground away, revealing the core that emitted dots of warm, brilliant luster.
"Damn, there’s material."
"And it’s even a colorful one, round natural bead shape!"
"Damn, really, this small brick material still hides such wonders?"
"Treasure Appraiser, is this... a tourmaline bead?"
The public opinion suddenly reversed.
Caught off guard, Gu Shiyin could only hold her breath and stare at the supposedly impossible-to-contain-gems worthless stone, not understanding how she could have misjudged!
This was too much of a slap in the face, having confidently declared it worthless just a minute ago.
Feng Tang impatiently answered everyone, "Nonsense, even a dog’s eyes can see it’s a nine-color tourmaline, and it’s a twin tourmaline bead, conservatively estimated to be worth millions."
"Pop," Gu Shiyin’s face swelled again: "..."
Damn it, didn’t this old man say he only understood antiques and not jade? Now, when it’s face-slapping ti, he seems to know everything, and every word hits the mark!
