401: In the Limelight (3)

In the Limelight (3)

As soon as Chi Shuyan said the words, everyone else fell silent. They shook their heads. This young lady had been lucky just now, but though she had opened a few pieces of jade, it was just that; her luck couldn't be good forever.0

The others shook their heads. This young lady didn't listen to her seniors and was going to suffer a loss. She would probably regret it later after the stone was opened. If it were them, they would have taken advantage of the fact that the stone had yet to be cut to discuss it with the shopkeeper. Even if they couldn't get back the original price, they could at least get back a little. If the stone was directly opened, wouldn't it be like buying a lousy stone for nothing?

Several hundred thousands, maybe even more than a million for a lousy stone - just thinking about it made their hearts ache.

Yang Zhaoning, on the other hand, was beaming with joy. She was very curious to see what the face of this woman surnamed Chi would look like after the stone was opened. Thinking of how that expression would be as marvelous as how calm the woman was now, she gloated and was excited.

As for Zhang Feng, he had still been tender-hearted just now, but this woman had never been kind to him from beginning to end. Since that was the case, she deserved it if she lost later. He immediately acted like he was watching a show.

Qi Hao, Wang Xuewen, Lu Chengfu, Yu Jinzhou, and the others were also very anxious, their hearts in their throats. When they recalled Lu Yunfeng's words just now, most of them felt that the probability of their sister-in-law's gamble paying off wasn't high; not that the price wouldn't increase, but that the chance of it showing green wasn't high.

The boys thought that if Sister-in-law lost the bet, they would take turns comforting her.

Chi Shuyan saw the little guy, Li Yu, and the little attendant beside him staring at her anxiously. Li Yu even directly handed Chi Shuyan the raw stone he had been holding carefully just now, and motioned for her to open it.

Chi Shuyan stroked the little guy's head and didn't say anything. When the master cutter was about to open the stone, she suddenly said, "Master, can you scrape the stone? I want to scrape it!"

The master cutter was taken aback, but agreed.

Yang Zhaoning felt that this woman in front of her was simply playing ugly tricks. She probably knew that this thing was just an ordinary stone, but she was still gritting her teeth and pushing forward. She wanted to see how things would end up for this woman later. She waited to see a good show.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten minutes had passed. The master cutter had scraped the surface of the black stone to reveal a bit of green, but it wasn't obvious.

As soon as the master cutter saw the green, he was immediately motivated to continue scraping the stone. Very soon, the green inside revealed its true color, and a crystal-clear, regal and indescribably pure green appeared before everyone.

This was the famous glass imperial jade, and high quality glass imperial jade at that.

Not to mention the master cutter, the spectators were also stupefied. Qi Hao, Lu Yunfeng, Yu Jinzhou, and Lu Chengfu were also stunned, and they sucked in cold breaths.

Their sister-in-law was lucky, but did she have to be so lucky?

Her first time gambling stones, and she struck imperial jade? Did she have to be so excessive?

Compared with the stupefied and shocked reactions of the others, Yang Zhaoning and Zhang Feng were no longer in good moods, especially Yang Zhaoning. She thought of how she was the one who had chosen this raw stone first, and then had deliberately thrown it mockingly at that woman. She was initially going to laugh ruthlessly at this woman over this raw stone. Who would have thought that instead of seeing a joke, she would see the stone opened to reveal supreme-grade imperial jade?

And it was such a huge chunk of imperial jade to boot.

When she saw that pure and extraordinarily beautiful jade, Yang Zhaoning almost forgot herself and almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Her face twisted and she blurted out, "How can that be? How can it be imperial jade?"
