Chapter 399: In the Limelight (1)
Everyone bid for the three pieces of high-grade jade which Lu Chengfu had gambled on. In the end, the bid for the purple Peach Blossom Spring reached 50 to 60 million. Lu Chengfu gritted his teeth and refused to sell it.
After Lu Chengfu finished cutting his stones, it was Chi Shuyan’s turn.
She initially planned to let the little guy cut the stone right now. Knowing that the thing in his arms was probably a treasure, she wasn’t worried that he would cry again.
When she saw his nervous face, however, Chi Shuyan could only give up for the time being, and let the master cutter open her stones first.
The first piece that Chi Shuyan took out happened to be the leftover from what Yang Zhaoning and Zhang Feng picked earlier.
Sure enough!
When Yang Zhaoning and Zhang Feng saw this, they gloated. Chi Shuyan gestured and had the master cutter open it from the side. When the stone was cut, it did indeed show green!
Because of how Lu Chengfu had stolen the show just now, everyone was now very interested in the stone, and as soon as it showed green, people started placing bids.
Seeing the rare waxy snow cotton pattern, everyone became even more enthusiastic, and many people began to bid. Seeing that the price was getting higher and higher, Yang Zhaoning suddenly said with schadenfreude, “The waxy variant is good. What a pity no one can see that there’s some lichen on the stone.
I bet there’s a 80 to 90% chance that there’s a streak of lichen inside which cuts off this waxy pattern!”
Just because Yang Zhaoning had scored jade in four out of eight pieces of raw stones earlier, everyone else didn’t dare underestimate her. When they heard her words, no one dared to place any more bids.
Yang Zhaoning’s eyes flashed with schadenfreude as she said to Chi Shuyan, “Miss Chi, I really didn’t mean to say that. I just couldn’t go against my conscience, and had to warn everyone else and prevent a disaster. Miss Chi, you won’t blame me for being nosy, right?”
Wang Xuewen was the most impulsive and brash of them all. As soon as Yang Zhaoning finished speaking, Wang Xuewen wanted nothing more than to beat this woman up. He had never met a more hateful woman.
Qi Hao, Lu Chengfu, and even the calmer Yu Jinzhou and Lu Yunfeng wanted to beat this damn woman up.
Why was this woman so despicable?
Chi Shuyan didn’t plan to sell the jade to make money in the first place, so she couldn’t be bothered with this woman’s nonsense. She ignored the woman in front of her and had the master cutter continue cutting.
When the master cutter finished cutting, he saw that it was indeed a rare waxy snow cotton variant. Moreover, there wasn’t any of the lichen that Yang Zhaoning had mentioned earlier. The several kilograms of waxy snow cotton was very perfect and beautiful. It was worth at least 20 to 30 million yuan. Many people who hadn’t continued bidding just now were filled with regret.
Some of them couldn’t help but mock Yang Zhaoning. Yang Zhaoning’s face had originally been ugly and pained when the woman in front of her picked up the rare jade which they had missed, and she now stared fixedly at the perfect waxy snow cotton in disbelief. Zhang Feng’s face was also very unsightly and pained.
But it wasn’t like the two of them hadn’t seen good jade before. They quickly restrained their expressions, but their eyes still flashed occasionally with pain, regret and disbelief. After all, if they hadn’t thrown this thing away, it would have been their jade now.
Chi Shuyan deliberately said, “Miss Yang, you still don’t believe it? If you don’t, you can come and touch it!”
As soon as she said that, Yang Zhaoning’s face flushed red, and Qi Hao, Lu Chengfu, and the others stifled their laughter.
After that, Chi Shuyan opened five more pieces. Although these five pieces weren’t as good as the high-grade waxy snow cotton, they were still perfectly green and worth at least a few million each.
On the side, Qi Hao, Lu Yunfeng, and Yu Jinzhou were also blinded by Chi Shuyan’s good luck.
Chi Shuyan also knew that she had drawn too much attention today. Fortunately, these were all ordinary jade. Chi Shuyan originally didn’t plan to hog the limelight anymore, but when her eyes swept over the black stone which Yang Zhaoning had thrown at her earlier, Chi Shuyan’s eyes flashed.
Let this woman continue bullsh*tting. If Chi Shuyan didn’t make this woman vomit blood today, her surname wasn’t Chi. Thinking this, Chi Shuyan handed over this black raw stone that was the size of two fists. “Master, help me open this one!”
