Chapter 146: No Children
Actually, Su Miaoke had fallen in love with the Five-Colored Jade at first sight.
The colors of the Five-Colored Jade were just too brilliant, mesmerizing anyone who saw it.
The reason she’d asked for three sets of everything was because Su Miaoke planned to have a set made for her mother-in-law and her own mother.
"Just take the jade for them from our share," Chu Feng said.
"No need, Brother Chu! You’re making me lose face. I’ve already profited so much from you, getting such a huge piece of this Five-Colored Jade. Isn’t it only natural for me to pay for some jewelry to be made?" said Old Jiang.
"Don’t worry, my company employs several top-tier jade masters. I’ll absolutely have them make the Jade Bracelets and necklaces into top-class, one-of-a-kind pieces," Boss Jiang said, his face full of confidence.
"Really? In that case, thank you so much, Boss Jiang!" Su Miaoke’s spirits lifted the moment she heard that; she was thrilled.
The thought of owning such beautiful Five-Colored Jade bracelets and necklaces was exciting and filled her with joy.
Chu Feng didn’t object to any of this. After all, his main reason for keeping his third was for Su Miaoke’s use.
"Alright, let’s start dividing the jade. Old Mo, time to get to work," Old Jiang said happily.
"Alright. It’s a bit of a shame to cut such a large piece of jade. If it were carved into a single ornament, it would absolutely be a treasure for the ages, a national treasure!" Old Mo remarked with a sigh after a glance.
He truly felt it was a pity. After all, a piece this large was a once-in-a-lifetime find.
Of course, he knew he was incredibly lucky to have even cut such a Five-Colored Jade in his lifetime. He could die with no regrets and would have a great story to boast about to his ancestors.
"When you’re cutting it, each of you can keep a fist-sized piece. Consider it a gift from me," Chu Feng said with a smile.
Hearing this, the expressions on Old Mo and his son’s faces changed, and they hurriedly tried to refuse.
"We couldn’t possibly! The value of this Five-Colored Jade is terrifying. A fist-sized piece would be worth hundreds of millions," Old Mo said anxiously.
"I say it’s fine, so just accept it. You’re the ones who cut it open, after all. It’s only right you get a share. It’s not much, but you can keep it as a memento," Chu Feng said.
Although Old Mo and his son weren’t as wealthy as Boss Jiang, in their profession, they still had a family fortune of tens of millions.
A fist-sized piece of Five-Colored Jade like this was worth more than their lifetime earnings.
"Just accept it. My Brother Chu here is a good man. Besides, your family has been cutting stones for so many generations, it’s only fitting that you have a piece of Five-Colored Jade," Old Jiang said.
"Thank you, Mr. Chu." Old Mo and his son bowed respectfully to Chu Feng.
For a family of stonecutters like Old Mo’s, this was something that couldn’t be measured in money.
It was a supreme honor. After all, the rarity of this Five-Colored Jade was comparable to Nuwa’s Heaven-mending Stone.
Therefore, Old Mo and his son were incredibly grateful to Chu Feng.
It was as if Chu Feng had bestowed upon them the highest possible honor.
"Alright, hurry up and divide the jade. It’s getting late. Once it’s cut, we can all go our separate ways and get some rest," Chu Feng said.
Soon, Old Mo began the cutting process.
The jade-cutting machine had also been brought back from the auction house, precisely for this moment.
Cutting it into three pieces now was a relatively simple task.
In about twenty minutes, the entire block of jade had been cut and divided.
Everyone received their corresponding share.
"We’ll be heading out then. By the way, Boss Jiang, when you have a moment, you should get a physical," Chu Feng said as he used a dolly to move his piece of the raw stone.
Zhao Liu had arranged a car for him and loaded all the raw stones onto it.
Hearing Chu Feng’s words, Boss Jiang’s brow furrowed slightly. ’What does he mean by that all of a sudden?’
In reality, the piece of jade only weighed about three hundred and thirty pounds, and Chu Feng could have easily carried it.
He just didn’t want to expose his true strength in front of so many people, so he used a small dolly to wheel it out.
After the two of them got in the car, Chu Feng said, "I’ll drive. Tomorrow, go to the raw stone auction market, get my car, and drive it back to the Bright Moon Mountain Villa. Then you can take this car back."
Chu Feng handed his car keys to Zhao Liu’s driver.
Zhao Liu had originally arranged for his driver to take Chu Feng and Su Miaoke home, but Chu Feng preferred to drive himself.
"Of course, Mr. Chu," the driver said respectfully to Chu Feng.
The car started up and slowly drove away from Zhao Liu’s villa.
"Honey, back there, what did you mean by what you said to Boss Jiang? Is there something wrong with him?" Su Miaoke asked curiously in the car.
"This Boss Jiang... does he have any children?" Chu Feng suddenly asked.
"I think so? But I haven’t heard much about them. How could a big boss like him not have children? Then again, for a big shot of his level, even if he did have kids, he probably wouldn’t make it public," Su Miaoke said.
"That’s impossible," Chu Feng chuckled.
"What? Honey, you think he doesn’t have children? But I’ve seen some media reports before that said he does. I wasn’t paying close attention, but I think they’re abroad," Su Miaoke said.
"He definitely doesn’t have children," Chu Feng said with certainty.
"So, when you told him to get a check-up just now, that’s what you meant?" Su Miaoke’s eyes widened.
This was a huge piece of news.
"Mhm," Chu Feng nodded.
"So, does that mean... he’s not capable in ’that’ area? Is that why he doesn’t have kids? But in this day and age, with medicine being so advanced, can’t they just do IVF?" Su Miaoke asked curiously.
"Er... possibly, but not necessarily. Who can really know the specific details? In any case, I’m certain he has no children—at least, no biological children of his own," Chu Feng said.
"Well, honey, if you can even see that, you should be able to cure his problem, right?" Su Miaoke asked curiously.
"Curing him shouldn’t be a problem. But he hasn’t asked me about it, so am I supposed to just bring it up myself? Still, he’s a decent person, which is why I gave him the hint," Chu Feng said.
The main thing was that Boss Jiang didn’t have any powerful backing or a prominent family behind him, which was different from Zhao Liu.
Moreover, Chu Feng was very satisfied with the way Boss Jiang handled himself.
"Honey, if you can cure an illness like that, does that mean you can cure terminal diseases too?" Su Miaoke suddenly asked.
"I suppose I could, but I’ve never tried. What’s wrong? Why do you suddenly ask?" Chu Feng asked.
