“Wei Xiao?” Jiang Chun was shocked. Then, she turned around and looked around. Indeed, she saw Wei Xiao talking to someone.
That day, Jiang Chun had come mainly to see what kind of impression Old Mr. Shen had of Wen Nian, so she didn’t care about the others. She didn’t expect Wei Xiao to come too.
With her informants, she naturally knew that Wei Xiao’s casino had also been raided. When Jiang Ning said this, she still looked indignant and thought that she and Wei Xiao’s future income source was cut off.
Looking at Wei Xiao, who was also constantly glancing at Wen Nian, many people around him had already begun to discuss if Wen Nian really had some tricks up her sleeve.
Jiang Chun was tempted, but before she could speak, Yang Ting spoke first. “Have you thought about it? I’ve already asked around. At least ten million yuan can buy something of similar quality. If you’re unwilling, I’ll find someone else. I think Wei Xiao wants to try too.”
“I agree to it!” Jiang Chun quickly said, but she looked at Yang Ting worriedly. “We can’t let Shen Jun know that I was the one who did it.”
Yang Ting nodded. “A gentleman’s agreement. Don’t worry. Give me the money, anyway I won’t be able to escape.”
Jiang Chun transferred a million yuan using her phone. They had agreed that she would pay Yang Ting together after bidding for the stone. Yang Ting had no objections. She felt that Jiang Chun would definitely not dare to lie to her.
Seeing Yang Ting leave, Jiang Chun was a little excited. She had already lost a lot of money previously, not only on Huang Yue, but she had also given Jiang Ning a lot in the later stages.
Although the Xu family was rich, Mr. Xu did not give all his money to Xu Li. Naturally, Jiang Chun did not have much money either, and Jiang Wei rarely gave her a lot of money. If she could really succeed in stone gambling this time, wouldn’t she have a considerable income?
At this moment, many people were already discussing how much Wen Nian’s small imperial green glass could be sold for. There were even people who wanted to buy it from Wen Nian at a high price.
“A glass type is too rare. I think it’s just nice to make a safety pin for my grandson. I wonder if she will sell it for five million yuan?”
“I heard that it’s a gift from Old Mr. Shen to his granddaughter-in-law. How can she sell it so easily?”
“Isn’t there still top-grade purple jade afterwards? Who knows Wen Nian might be willing to sell this piece? She’ll earn five to six million yuan!”
“I heard that Wen Nian’s career in the entertainment industry has been smooth sailing. Could it be that she’s really lucky? I’d rather believe that it is so!”
“Don’t many people in the entertainment industry believe in metaphysics? Has she also worshipped Buddha?”
“Ai, ai, ai! I just heard that someone has already bid 90 million for that purple jade. Oh my god, I wonder if Old Mr. Shen wants to make a move?”
Hearing the people around her talking one after another, Jiang Chun became nervous. Whether it was Wen Nian’s luck or Old Mr. Shen’s ability, as long as she could get a piece of raw stone, wouldn’t it be easy to earn money?
At this moment, Wen Nian did not know that she had also been targeted by Yang Ting and Jiang Chun. She originally wanted to trick Wei Xiao. Even if she could not deal with him, it was good to let him lose a large sum of money first.
“Nian Nian? What do you think of this stone?” Shen Wei pointed at the stone being auctioned now. “Look, a corner is already exposed. It’s very green. If this is full of jade, its value probably won’t be low!”
Wen Nian looked at the stone in front of her and smiled. This was the first scam in her previous life. It looked like this stone was not bad. It was indeed very green, but in fact, it was only a thin layer. The inside was completely different from this. Whoever bought it would lose money.
Seeing her smile like this, Shen Wei couldn’t make up his mind. “Do you think this is bad? Look at its texture. Moreover, it’s old. It might be top-grade.”
“Grandpa, how can there be so many top-grade stones? You’ve already bought all the top-grade one.” Wen Nian then said, “But you can give it a try. If the price is too high, we can just forget about it.”
When he saw a trace of craftiness flickering in her eyes, Shen Wei suddenly couldn’t figure out what she was thinking, but he still nodded. “Alright, let’s give it a try.”
With the previous two victories, Shen Wei was still quite confident. He felt that after looking at raw stones for so many years, it was impossible for him to be inferior to a little girl like Wen Nian.
Although he did not raise his card at the beginning, when the price increased to 5 million, Shen Wei directly raised the price to 7 million, which indeed shocked many people present.
Hearing his bid, many people hesitated. The main reason was that this stone looked to be about three to four million yuan. Five million yuan was already not low, let alone seven million yuan.
However, the host suddenly said, “Number 36 mister bids 7.5 million.. Is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?”
