Chapter 645 - Deities

Ling Li immediately instructed, “Customers are always right in Soaring Clouds Pavilion. If you don’t want to work, then resign.”

The lapidary, “…”

The lapidary glared at Zhong Nuannuan but he could only follow her instructions.

After cutting it, he began to slowly inspect the stone with the torch.

However, not long after, the lapidary’s hand shook, and he exclaimed in shock, “There’s jade!”

At the same time, there were a few people closest to them who noticed the jade as well.

They all shouted, “There’s really jade!”

“Oh, my God! Will it really turn out to be ice jade later?”

“Miss Zhong keeps talking about imperial jade. Who knows, it might really produce imperial jade!”

“Even deities can’t determine jade easily, but all of her gambles were on hit! That’s impressive!”

The moment Ling Li and Ling Pinyuan saw that the rock contained jade, they felt a wave of uneasiness.

Especially Ling Li, who had a high risk of getting a heart attack. When the lapidary shouted, he felt his heart contract violently, accompanied by a wave of pain.

Ling Li gritted his teeth. He did not want everyone to think that he could not afford to lose, but he kept calculating in his head. If it did not turn out to be an empty shell, it would be worth a lot of money when it was made into something else even if it was merely an oily green jade, not to mention an ice jade.

Such a huge block of ice jade would sell for at least 300 million, right?

Heavens!

How could he bear this?

Ling Pinyuan’s face was also deathly pale, and she was in disbelief.

At this moment, she regretted everything.

Why did she have to compete with Zhong Nuannuan when she knew could not afford to lose? She should have known that Zhong Nuannuan was an expert in stone gambling when she could already find out that the previous jade was of the oily green type. Why did she insist to bet with Zhong Nuannuan?

No!

When she thought about this, Ling Pinyuan was suddenly horrified.

If this raw stone really contained ice jade, did that mean there were more jade in the raw stones that Zhong Nuannuan took away?

This idea made Ling Pinyuan uneasy.

“We see it! We see it!”

Everyone’s attention was focused on the huge stone.

With shaking hands, the lapidary slowly peeled off the weathered surface covering the jade. A bright green color appeared before everyone’s eyes.

“Oh, my god!” The onlookers could not help but cry out in shock.

“Imperial jade!”

“It’s really is imperial jade!”

“This is amazing! In all of the years in Jiang District, yet another imperial jade has appeared!”

“It’s so big! I’ve never seen such a big imperial jade!”

Even Wu Maosong and Old Master Chi who were used to situations like these

were gaping in shock, what more everyone else in the hall.

To be honest, the old master did not expect that there would be imperial jade inside. After all, he was an expert in all fields. Furthermore, the raw stone was huge, so it felt 99.99999% unlikely that there would be jade inside.

He supported Zhong Nuannuan because she was his granddaughter-in-law. It was only 20 million yuan. If she lost, so be it. He, Chi Yuancheng’s granddaughter-in-law, could lose money but she must not lose her dignity!

However, he did not expect his granddaughter-in-law to really give him an imperial jade even though she kept saying that.

Why did it feel so unreal?

“What a huge piece of imperial jade!”

“Oh, my god! Although this isn’t imperial jade of the highest grade, it’s unprecedentedly huge!”

“This… This probably weighs 10 kilograms, right?”

“Don’t know…”

“How much is such a huge imperial jade worth?”
