Fuck!
"Li Run, don’t be so impolite!" Li Yuan chided Li Run as he saw his behaviour, his tone was very cold. Li Run suddenly didn’t dare make more fuss but glared resentfully at Sui Yi and the others across from him.
"Hah, might as well streak..."
Streak... How could Li Run possibly streak? He looked towards Zhou Ran.
Zhou Ran’s expression darkened. Him, streak?
Impossible!
They indeed wanted to renege on the bet, but unfortunately, Elder Tang and the others wouldn’t allow it.
So he looked towards Qian Shuangyu, who beca tangled up. What, you also want to streak?
Or...
Two hundred thousand!
Zhou Ran ant to let Qian Shuangyu pay two hundred thousand!
Qian Shuangyu imdiately understood!
Her face fell and she stared at Zhou Ran, scoffed, "I don’t have the money."
No money!
Zhou Ran hadn’t expected Qian Shuangyu to refuse him, felt annoyed inside but didn’t want to lose his temper there, so he politely pulled her aside, clearly intending to reason with her.
Sui Yi paid no attention to this bunch, as Li Yuan had already suggested they start jade cutting, was it an attempt to turn the tables?
"This stone, even Elder Tang and the others would appreciate it... what a pity, we’ve one-upped them. Elder Tang, my apologies for earlier."
Elder Tang’s face turned dark and he responded lightly, "Not at all, it’s all Boss Li’s own doing. However, we still have to see what this stone yields. Hope it won’t make Boss Li’s five hundred eighty thousand go down the drain."
"Of course not," Li Yuan smiled through gritted teeth.
Because the stone was quite valuable, Zhang Guangbiao started cutting it himself, ticulous in every move and hands-on. Sui Yi overheard Yu Quan ntioning that if Zhang Guangbiao’s cutting revealed good jade, he’d even get a red envelope, which explained his enthusiasm.
Clearly, he was also rather optimistic about this stone.
Sui Yi just smiled faintly at the remark. Optimistic, huh?
It was probably going to disappoint a lot of people.
The first cut was made swiftly.
But it was a thin cut, as they were sharpening the blade.
After all, the stone was partially cut open, and from what Sui Yi could see, there was so mist indicating moisture, suggesting there was a very high chance of finding jade inside,
Sure enough, after so grinding, the crowd gasped in amazent!
"Wow, there’s water! That must an there’s a dragon!"
"Dragon from water! This stone is definitely going to be worth a fortune!"
A group of jewelers talked in their professional lingo while Elder Lin explained to Lin Chuxiao...
Only Elder Tang wasn’t looking too pleased.
Well, seeing a stone’s value shoot up is heartburn, especially when it doesn’t belong to you, let alone when it belongs to your enemy.
Yu Quan and the others also felt choked up.
So they kept silent.
Because of the presence of water, Li Yuan was even happier, his joy was indescribable, so he said, "Mr. Zhang, could you please be a bit more careful, and not damage the jade flesh inside? After all, our company has its own jewelry designers, we can create our own designs to sell, losing even a bit of jade flesh would have a considerable impact."
"Naturally, naturally!" Zhang Guangbiao agreed briskly, like many others here, he believed the stone contained jade...
So...
Another cut down!
A conspicuous color appeared!
"Ah!"
"Wow!"
"Sss!"
"My God!"
Black, dense black, speckles, the most dreaded black speckles by stone gamblers!
Such blackness imdiately froze the previously smug expressions of Li Yuan and his company.
As if struck by lightning!
Generally, the appearance of black speckles ant the stone was mostly ruined, and even if there was jade inside, tainted by black speckles it wouldn’t be pure and would look ugly, making it of little value.
So now, this stone was undoubtedly a bust.
A complete bust!
A bust that made Li Yuan unable to keep his face anymore, he sucked in a breath of cold air.
Five hundred eighty thousand, just fucking gone!
Ha!
Elder Han and his company couldn’t keep their faces from showing joy!
However, Elder Tang and Elder Lin both looked happy and yet frightened.
If it weren’t for Sui Yi’s sudden intervention, would they each have blown over two hundred thousand now?
"Sui Yi..." Elder Tang subconsciously looked at Sui Yi, only to see her casually pointing towards the two stones they had purchased and saying, "shall we open ours?"
Zhang Guangbiao’s face was already quite embarrassed by this point. Oh well, he had just assured the others a mont ago, and after the second cut, black speckles erged...
This definitely wasn’t because of him!
"Boss Li, would you like to continue cutting?" Zhang Guangbiao asked.
Li Yuan had to maintain his composure, with so many onlookers, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to ruin his image, so he calmly said, "Open it completely!"
If there were black speckles, there was no need for further words.
Crack crack, from being careful to a flurry of bold cuts.
In a few strokes, the stone turned completely to waste.
Almost every small piece of scrap was tinged with black speckles.
Bai Lingshuang and the others knew the score as they looked on, they too dared not speak.
Well, five hundred eighty thousand, just like that?
Just for so ugly rocks?
Elder Han had regained his vigor, stood up with a calm and composed smile on his face, "Boss Li, winning and losing is common in warfare, don’t take it to heart... five hundred eighty thousand isn’t much to the Li Family."
"Exactly, even ten tis five hundred eighty thousand would be affordable for you..." Elder Tang added.
You try losing one and see! Fuck!
The people from the Li Family were furious!
Li Run wanted to speak... Li Yuan waved his hand and squinted his eyes at Elder Tang, "Heh, we did indeed misjudge this stone, however, I suppose soone as skilled as Elder Tang would be able to select a stone that yields jade. Why not let us broaden our horizons?"
I’m not doing well, so don’t fucking think you will either!
Li Yuan directly dragged Elder Tang down with him!
So... a minute later.
The stone that Elder Tang bought was being brought up, and beside it, stood Sui Yi’s stone.(To be continued. If you like this work, please co to QiDian (qidian) to vote for recomndation tickets, monthly passes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users go to m.qidian to read.)
