"You’re just jealous! Hmph, do you really think only you have good luck?" Qiao Jiezhe almost jumped for joy. Even though it’s white, it shows that he and his sister have good fortune!
Maybe they really won’t lose.
"No way, it’s very beautiful! This piece of jade is so gorgeous. Miss, could we talk about buying it?" An elderly man ca out, excitedly looking at Qiao Qiqi.
He had been wanting to find a pure white jade to carve a Guanyin for worship, but hadn’t found a suitable one in years. Today, he finally found it, and regardless of the price, he was determined to buy it!
"Sure, but we’ll have to discuss it later." Qiao Qiqi had brought the jade to sell, and now a buyer was here; she certainly wouldn’t refuse.
"Please, old man, if you want to buy, you have to buy it from . We made a bet, and if she loses, all these stones must be mine!" Rong Nian Nian expressed her dissatisfaction.
"Understood, understood," the old man said, tactfully retreating back into the crowd, yet he believed in his heart that this composed young lady would win.
"Next! Open this one!" Rong Nian Nian angrily glared at Qiao Qiqi, pointing at the stone she felt most confident about. She wanted everyone to see what true luck looks like!
Growing up, anyone who opposed her never had a good outco!
As the stone was cut open, everyone widened their eyes. When they saw the jade revealed from Rong Nian Nian’s seed stone, the entire crowd gasped in awe — icy green jade, which is just a shade below Imperial Jade but still extrely rare.
Now everyone had to believe in real luck.
This Miss Rong truly lives up to her reputation.
Seeing this, Qiao Jiezhe felt deflated, thinking this luck thing is truly uncanny. He glanced at the dull stones in his car, losing confidence again.
Imdiately, soone stepped forward to buy the stone, offering an exorbitant price. Rong Nian Nian said she would consider it, looking proudly at Qiao Qiqi, hoping to see fear in her eyes, but was disappointed as Qiao Qiqi only focused brightly on her own jade, like it was hers!
This made Rong Nian Nian extrely displeased!
Qiao Qiqi pointed at a worthless seed stone to be cut, and upon opening, it revealed pure white, highly rocky and worthless.
The surrounding people shook their heads, and Qiao Jiezhe’s face paled sowhat.
Rong Nian Nian scoffed at the sight, eagerly having the next stone cut, revealing a moderately colored jade, much better than Qiao Qiqi’s.
"Hey, it’s your turn! I say you should know your place and just admit defeat! I won’t hold it against you!" Rong Nian Nian’s pride soared.
"Brother, seems like my luck is average. Let’s open the one you picked." Qiao Qiqi gestured toward the seed stone with violet hidden in the center.
Qiao Jiezhe wanted to cry, knowing his own judgnt wasn’t great.
But he wouldn’t back down, nodding his head, standing tall.
A piercing sound echoed. One cut revealed re stone; everyone shook their heads.
"Another cut! This stone is so big, shouldn’t let my brother’s money go to waste!" Qiao Qiqi directed the person cutting the seed stone.
"Qiao Qiqi, you should stop wasting effort! You won’t win today." Rong Nian Nian strutted like a peacock, Rong Yuan unhappily giving her a tug, signaling not to overdo it.
