"One million and five hundred thousand! Wang, youre really pushing your luck this time!" Cui Pangzi gritted his teeth and added another five hundred thousand, glaring at his wife.
Mrs. Choi spat, her eyes wide with anger: "Are you crazy? Cant you get a divorce? Bah!" Her movements were coarse and rough, and she didnt know how Chui could stand it.
Madam Choi cursed and scolded, but at least she didnt continue to raise the price. Chui Baozi let out a sigh of relief and ignored her muttering "Im not stupid, youll be the one who loses"
This is a piece of rough stone with an opened window, which belongs to the nature of half-gambling and half-buying. Cui Pàngzi had been observing it for half a day from the opening, and also examined the appearance of the stone. Its certain that it will turn green, but he didnt know how much, so he dared to call out a high price of 10 million yuan.
As long as the jadeite is not too bad and has no cracks, it can be cut into a bangle. With 1.05 million, Cui Baozi will not lose money.
Lin Luoran gazed intently, the outer skin of the jadeite rough stone was very hard and there were no instruments to detect it, which created the gamble of the jadeite rough stone.
Lin Luo Ran wasnt trying to see through the rough exterior of the original stone, but rather he was focusing his mind to examine the original stone that Cui Hao had bought, wanting to feel if there were any traces of spiritual energy inside.
At first, she could only see the dark outer skin. As her spirit focused, she felt that there was indeed something inside the original stone responding to her... Hmm, is it white mist?
Chui Baozi bought that piece of stone, in the center there was a white mist churning, the black outer skin locked the white mist inside, Lin Luoran also spent a lot of mental effort to see clearly - she still didnt know what kind of jade was inside, but the white mist was obviously a kind of spiritual energy!
The beads on her wrist jumped slightly at the moment she "saw" the white fog, as if extremely joyful. Before she could react, a strand of fine mist shot out from them towards the original stone bought by Cui Huanzi!
Lin Luoran was startled, and the light mist passed in front of Cui Huanzis eyes, but Cui Huanzi seemed to see nothing... It was a blessing in disguise that ordinary people couldnt see the thread-like mist emitted by the pearl, which looked like moonlight. Lin Luoran finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The light mist emitted by the pearl easily penetrated the outer skin of the original stone and met with the white mist inside. The white mist was like a child who had found its lost relatives, and Lin Luo Ran clearly knew that it was lifeless, yet he had an illusion that the white mist seemed to be joyful, as if it were telling a story...
The bead emitted a misty light, which began to absorb the white mist. Lin Luoran didnt know how to command it to stop and was extremely anxious. If this continued, the spiritual energy would be absorbed, and Cui Baozi would return to find that the jade had turned into stone... Even if he didnt know who did it, Lin Luorans own conscience would condemn him!
Lin Luoran was anxious in her heart, but she didnt notice anything unusual about herself today. She had been staring intently for a long time, yet she didnt feel the dryness in her eyes like when she saw the spiritual energy of He Shou Wu and Peony.
The white fog was finally absorbed by the pearl, Lin Luoran wanted to cry but had no tears, secretly regretting for Cui Huanzi, yet having no way to help.
The pearl seemed to sense its masters unease and reluctantly spat out some mist, which was also white, but unlike the previous scene of churning white fog, it was extremely calm and warm, making people feel very affectionate and comfortable.
The pearl then withdrew its light speed and quietly stayed on Lin Luorans wrist, without showing any abnormality.
Lin Luoran finally put her heart back in its original place.
Chui Baozi still didnt know that the raw jade he bought had changed internally, and the pearl was emitting a auspicious white mist, this change should be a good thing.
Lin Luoran not only confirmed that jade had spiritual energy, but she could also see this spiritual energy, even if it was hidden under the outer skin of a piece of raw jadeite wrapped in modern machinery that couldnt detect it.
Could this also be an opportunity to make a fortune?
The first thought that came to Lin Luorans mind was this idea! Lin Luoran wasnt afraid of being called out for her thoughts, but if she threw away the mysterious space, two weeks ago she was still an older woman who had been dumped by her boyfriend and lost her job.
When even survival becomes a problem, one will truly not care about temperament.
Bao Jia looked at her staring unblinkingly at Cui Chubbys stone and asked with a smile: "How about it, do you also want to gamble on stones?"
Lin Luoran smiled and said, "You know my familys situation, dont you? With just a thousand bucks, I can buy all these stones."
Baojia couldnt help but laugh, and the boss of the material yard who had just sold a stone to Cui Pangzi for several hundred thousand yuan was in a great mood after transferring the money with Cui Pangzi. Seeing Lin Luorans beauty, he thought she was joking when she said she still had 1,000 yuan left. He pointed to a pile of stones the size of watermelons in the corner and said:
"Over there, no bidding, 500 yuan for a package deal, ladies can try their luck."
Bao Jia raised an eyebrow: "Boss Zhang, isnt this cheating? Five hundred yuan a piece, and all the waste materials youve picked out over the years are piled up there!"
Lin Luorans situation was known to Baojia, who guessed that what she said about having over a thousand yuan left was half true. He regretted his own thoughtless words and wanted to help her skip over this topic.
Cui Pangzi seemed to know Baojia, rubbing his hands and saying: "Qin Da Designer, 500 yuan is also a pleasure, cutting off the fun, how can Boss Zhang step down!"
"Chui Pangzi, you have money but its better to buy everything back and play with it...". Mrs. Chui couldnt stand Chui Pangzis nouveau riche tone for a long time, and as soon as she heard this, she hummed on the side.
Chui Baozi indeed smiled awkwardly and stopped talking. Then someone chimed in:
"Chui Pangzi, will this stone be cut or not?"
"Cut it out! The live broadcast will be more lively with a stone unsealing ceremony!"
"Youre right, ah, just now those few pieces of mine collapsed. Old Zhang, the stone materials you pulled this time are too poor..."
Chui Baozi strained to shoot "murderous glances" from his slit-like eyes, and loudly cursed the people around him: "Cut off your heads! Youve been watching the show for half a day, but I havent even asked you for ticket money yet! Boss Zhang, trouble you to call a few workers to help, Ill take this batch of stones back home myself!"
Chui Pangzi directed people to pull stones, and everyone was in an uproar, laughing and shouting, the scene suddenly became chaotic.
Taking advantage of no ones attention, Lin Luoran pulled Baojia to the pile of stones at the corner of the wall and squatted down to examine it carefully.
"Youre not really going to gamble with these stones, are you? These stones were all picked out as waste by Old Zhang over the years. Besides, its only 500 yuan, theres really nothing worth gambling on..."
Bao Jia was originally not a talkative person, and she was chattering on like this in order to help Lin Luo Ran save money. Seeing how focused Lin Luo Ran looked, she unknowingly stopped talking.
I was momentarily stupid, as long as Xiaoran is happy, Ill bet on it. If we really have no food to eat, cant I just watch her starve to death?
Bao Jia thought so, but Lin Luo Ran turned around, raised his head and looked at her with sparkling eyes.
"Baojia, Ive also picked two pieces for you!"
