Chapter 14: The Mysterious Young Master Rong

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Didn’t Gu Qingchen place all her hopes on that raw stone?

Good!

She, Shi Wei, was going to watch Gu Qingchen’s hopes shatter. When Gu Qingchen could not pay her debts, she would have to obediently beg her in front of her!

When that time came, she would think of ways to torture Gu Qingchen.

As expected, the feeling of being a creditor was truly wonderful.

Gu Qingchen actually dared to kick her? Hehe, let’s see how she kicks back tenfold or a hundredfold later.

Everyone had their own thoughts, and they did not notice that in the only room on the second floor, someone was observing everything below carefully.

“Young Master Rong, I didn’t expect you to be interested in these as well?”

Tang Feng played with a purple thumb ring in his hand with a trace of ridicule on his face.

Young Master Rong only had a back view. Although he was sitting in a wheelchair, just the outline of his back was enough to make people yearn for him.

Under the morning sun’s rays, this outline was coated with a layer of mysterious color. It was like a mystery, making people unable to see through it.

The clean and magnetic voice added another layer of color. Young Master Rong’s unique voice and tone sounded in the room, “Guess… who will win?”

Tang Feng was too familiar with Young Master Rong. It was obvious that the farce downstairs had attracted Young Master Rong’s attention. He did not know whether it was an honor to be noticed by Young Master Rong.

“I guess… the girl’s chance of winning is only 0.01%.”

Obviously, Tang Feng was talking about Gu Qingchen.

Although he was on the second floor, with the surveillance cameras, it was easy to see the raw stone in Gu Qingchen’s hands.

It had to be said that this girl’s ability to pick raw stones was really not that good.

The person in the wheelchair was neither slow nor fast, and his voice was like a wisp of a breeze. “Then I’ll bet on that 0.01.”

Tang Feng glanced at him. Young Master Rong’s words had aroused a trace of curiosity in him. “Do you think that jade could be found in that waste?”

“Hehe, the world is so big, there are all kinds of strange things, aren’t there?”

Young Master Rong’s voice was very pleasant to the ears. That gentle tone of his, if there was a woman present at this moment, her heart would definitely be intoxicated.

“What do you want to bet? If you lose, I want the clear water jade in your hand. Young Master Rong, you must not be reluctant to part with it.”

Tang Feng had two preferences: women and jade.

Women were everywhere on the streets, but the jade that he fancied was hard to come by.

Although the piece of clear water jade in Young Master Rong’s hand was not a priceless treasure, it was extremely rare. It was clear and moist. Most importantly, the piece of jade had not been sculpted, but it had already formed the shape of a lotus. It was very pleasing.

One had to know that out of tens of thousands of raw stones, there might not even be a piece of jade, let alone a piece of clear water jade that had not been sculpted was already in the shape of a lotus.

Most importantly, he had never collected clear water jade before. This time, he had the opportunity to snatch the clear water jade from Young Master Rong’s hands. Naturally, he would not let it go.

“Madman Tang, are you sure you want to scheme against me?”

It was just a light sentence, but it made Tang Feng feel a lot of pressure. He looked at Young Master Rong’s back with a conflicted expression.

Others might not know about Young Master Rong, but he was the clearest about it. Those who plotted against Young Master Rong all ended up miserable!

He… should he go against this bad luck?

Sigh! He was really at a loss.

“Hehe, we’ve been brothers for so many years. The word scheming sounds awful. Since we’re going to gamble, we naturally have to come up with a reason. Otherwise, it would be meaningless, don’t you think so?”

He decided to adopt a gentler policy. “Or… what do you fancy, Young Master Rong? I definitely won’t keep it to myself!”

Young Master Rong did not answer immediately. He raised his hand and rested it on his chin. The index finger of his other hand kept tapping on the armrest of the wheelchair. He only smiled after a long while.

“If jade was found in that waste, you shall buy it. How about that?”

Tang Feng was nervous for a long time. When he heard that Young Master Rong only made such a small request, he immediately beamed with joy. “No problem. This is just a small matter!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Young Master Rong add lazily, “Buy it at the price of five million.”

Crack!

Tang Feng only felt that his chin almost fell off. The raw stone in Gu Qingchen’s hand was extremely small. Even if it had jade, it would not be worth this sky-high price. Five million… he felt a little pained.

It was not that Tang Feng did not have money. On the contrary, Tang Feng was very rich.

His goal had always been that money must be spent on the edge of a knife. In other words, it had to be worth more than it was worth.

However, for the sake of the clear water jade and the fact that he had a higher chance of winning, Tang Feng hardened his heart and gritted his teeth. “Deal!”

The people downstairs naturally did not know about the bet upstairs.

At this moment, the people downstairs were also very excited. All of their eyes were fixed on the raw stone in Zhou Xiang’s hand. Zhou Xiang took a deep breath, cleaned his hands, and put on gloves. Only then did he pick up the raw stone and skillfully dissected the stone.

At that moment, although Gu Qingchen looked calm and collected, she was extremely nervous. She was not worried that she would not be able to pay Shi Tian back. Instead, she was eager to know what the special perception of the raw stone could do.

Ever since she was reborn, she realized that she was different from before. Not only could she read minds, her learning ability and ability to accept things had greatly improved. Some of the changes in her body made her wonder what had happened to her.

Zhou Xiang was very careful in dissecting the stone. This should be the first time in his life that he was so serious in dissecting the stone. Zhou Xiang was very responsible. He did not use the cutting machine directly. Instead, he chose the safe and time-consuming table grinder and hose operation, bit by bit, the outer skin of the raw stone was carefully rubbed off.

Zhou Xiang was very careful with every tiny movement, afraid that there would be any mistakes.

Gu Qingchen looked at Zhou Xiang and felt a little grateful to him. From his skills, it could be seen that Zhou Xiang valued this piece of raw stone very much, even though Zhou Xiang did not think highly of it.

The process of peeling was very long, but the enthusiasm of the crowd did not diminish. Some even started to bet privately on whether Gu Qingchen’s raw stone could have jade inside.

Although everyone hoped that Gu Qingchen’s raw stone could produce jade, in fact, when the bet was placed, no one bet that Gu Qingchen’s raw stone could have jade in it.

In the end, because everyone’s bet was the same, the bet was immediately ruined.

The fist-sized raw stone was quickly worn down by half. Those who were experienced could tell that this raw stone was definitely a waste. It was already worn down by half, and there was no sign of jade at all.

Even Zhou Xiang was sweating profusely, and his expression was solemn.

The more Shi Wei looked at it, the more pleased she became. She watched the raw stone gradually decrease. It was as if she saw Gu Qingchen kneeling in front of her and beg her in a lowly and humbly manner.

On the other hand, Gu Qingchen was very calm. Her eyes did not leave the raw stone.

When Zhou Xiang saw this, he did not give up. He wiped his sweat, flipped the raw stone over, and began to polish it again.

When they saw that the entire piece of raw stone had become as thick as a book, everyone started to sigh.

“There’s no hope. There’s only this little bit left. Even if there really was jade in it, just this thin piece is useless and worthless.”

“What a pity. I wonder how that pair of father and daughter will deal with her later.”

Just as everyone was sighing, Zhou Xiang cried out in surprise, “It… it’s out! There’s jade!”

Seeing a bit of jade, Zhou Xiang was really excited. He immediately sped up his hand movements. Everyone stared at the raw stone in Zhou Xiang’s hand, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Such a piece of trash actually had jade inside!
