Chapter 137: The Lingering Spirit of Ye Sanshao (3)_1
Watching the women from the Yu Family, Gu Family, and Li Family mock and taunt his girl with such sarcasm, Shangguan Qing’s anger flared uncontrollably. His girl was not to be bullied by anyone.
"You." Yu Zijin’s complexion paled, the sweet smile on her face freezing.
"Cousin, I was just kindly reminding my younger cousin. After all, Shangguan You is Aunt Wanying’s stepdaughter and, one way or another, she is related to our Li Family, isn’t she?" A flash of anger crossed Li Meisu’s face, but she then spoke indifferently.
"Haha, Miss Li seems to have mistaken the object of her concern. The one related to the Li Family is Rou—my little sister. I have absolutely no connection with the Li Family. Besides, you’d be better off attending to your own affairs rather than meddling here. Mr. Gu, let’s proceed. There’s no need to mind these irrelevant people."
Shangguan You’s cool voice rose as she coldly regarded the three before her. She naturally understood Shangguan Qing’s protectiveness and was grateful for it. She then walked over to the master craftsmen, watching them operate the machinery and slowly cut the stones.
Seven stones were gradually unveiled under the scornful, contemptuous, eager, and disdainful eyes of the watchers. The expressions on their faces slowly turned to shock. Their mouths gradually fell open, and then they looked at Shangguan You in disbelief. Was this all just her luck? Or did she possess some ability to know these stones would yield jade? After all, it would be nearly impossible for every piece to reveal jade, let alone be worth more than its purchase price.
Not a single stone was a miss; all of them were cut to reveal jade. Even among the three stones purchased for five million, one revealed ZiyuPurple Jade. Another yielded Huang jade (yellow Fei and green Cui, so Huang jade is also extremely precious). The third was similarly cut to reveal a translucent, glass-type jade. The jade from the other stones was also worth more than the price paid for the stones themselves.
Even Gu Weixiong, when it came to Shangguan You, put aside his condescension. He wiped the sweat from his chubby face, taking a moment to process what had happened. Could all this truly be just luck? This is like the emergence of a new star in the jade gambling world! Every stone revealing jade—a feat even he couldn’t accomplish!
"Young lady, name your price. I’ll take this Huang jade and the other pieces," Shi Jian’an said, the shock on his face replaced by a business-like attitude. He abandoned the idea of spending ten million on the stone he had originally wanted. Shangguan You had unveiled exceptional jade, and she had asserted that his stone would be a complete waste—which might well be the case. He would rather buy a sure thing than risk such a large sum on an uncertainty.
"Young lady, I’ll offer fifty million for those jade pieces!"
