Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge

These people were regular customers, and Gu Weixiong was very familiar with them. Whenever new stock arrived, they would come to select raw materials, hoping to uncover top-quality jade.

This Mr. Shi was the owner of Jade Pavilion. He had made his first pot of gold by gambling on stones. After that, he had gambled numerous times, winning eight out of ten bets and rarely losing, thus becoming somewhat of a legend. That was how he had managed to grow Jade Pavilion to its current size.

"Mr. Gu, you flatter me. My father and I share a profound relationship with the Gu Family. Without your family’s stone gambling business, Jade Pavilion would not be what it is today," Shi Ruiming said with a smile, exchanging pleasantries with Gu Weixiong.

"Mr. Shi, you are too modest. If you’re interested in this stone, I’ll give you a twenty percent discount. Would you like me to cut it open now, or would you prefer to look around some more?"

"Mr. Gu, you’re always in such a hurry," Shi Jianjiang said. "Let’s look around a bit more; perhaps there’s an even better stone than this one. Besides, I heard this young lady made tens of millions last night from just a few stones. I’d like to see her choices first. Maybe I won’t have to gamble at all and can directly buy top-quality jade." Shi Jianjiang stroked his chin and smiled as he looked at Shangguan You.

This young lady possessed an inexplicable quality that drew people to her. That was why he had uncharacteristically struck up a conversation with her and even introduced her to some basics of stone gambling. His own stone wasn’t going anywhere; he wasn’t in a rush. He preferred to wait and see how she chose before deciding.

Perhaps I won’t even need to take a risk and can just buy what’s ready, he thought. For gamblers like them, minimizing risk was naturally the best option.

The Shi father and son shared the same idea, both watching Shangguan You with smiles. To them, gambling or buying was all the same as long as they acquired good jade. And if Jade Pavilion had good stock, they could still profit.

"Haha, Grandfather Shi and Uncle Shi, you truly hold me in high esteem, but I believe you won’t be disappointed."

Shangguan You laughed gently. I already have willing buyers, she thought. All I have to do is wait for the jade to be revealed. I’m short on money. Maybe I should buy a few more pieces. She eyed the store’s stones once more.

"Girl, just pick a few casually. Consider it playing around," Shangguan Qing said with a light smile, standing beside Shangguan You. He had an inexplicable faith in her, an unconditional trust.

"Yes, I understand, Brother Qing," Shangguan You responded calmly. She chose two of the cheapest stones in a corner, priced at fifty thousand each, two priced at five hundred thousand each, and three more costing over a million each. With a casual wave of her hand, tens of millions were spent.

Her casual actions and gestures made even the Shi father and son shake their heads. They were curious how she could know there was jade inside the stones with just a glance, without examining them closely. She’s such a spendthrift! they thought.
