Chapter 1317

“Andy, it’s normal to fail from time to time. Don’t beat yourself up over it! Besides, you should still consider yourself talented for finding a piece of rock that contained flower–green! We can just buy a few more high- end rocks to try our luck and we might just get a piece of top–quality jadeite!” Penny consoled him when she spotted the gloomy look on his face.

“Yeah. You’re right!” Andy’s spirit was instantly lifted.

Though he spent 345 thousand on the three high–end rocks he selected, he managed to sell the flower–green at 600 thousand, so he technically made a profit from it. Though it was not a big amount to him, he still felt better that he did not waste his money.

“Come on, let’s go pick a few more rocks,” Penny grabbed Andy by the arm.

“There’s no hurry! Leon was really confident that the low–end rock he picked contained a piece of top-

quality jadeite. I would like to see if that’s true!” Andy said and turned to Loen with a sneer. “Leon, all the rocks I’ve picked have been opened. It’s your turn!”

“Forget it, Andy! There are too many people around us. I’ll open it later,” Leon said hesitantly.

“Why? Are you scared that you won’t get anything worthy and humiliate yourself?” Andy sneered.

“Not really! I’m just worried that you might have a hard time salvaging your pride if I end up with a piece of top–quality jadeite,” Leon said.

The crowd all started to look down on Andy after two of the rocks he selected were determined to hold little to no value. If Leon managed to obtain a piece of top–quality jadeite with a low–end rock, Andy would be the laughingstock of the entire shop.

Andy was Penny’s fiancé and Leon did not want to humiliate Andy.

“Why you!” Andy was furious. Though Leon meant well, it sounded sarcastic and Andy felt as though Leon was mocking him for not being able to find a piece of top–quality jadeite. “Get over yourself! I don’t even know what gives you the confidence to think that you can get a piece of top–quality jadeite!”

He sneered.

“Yeah! That young man is too arrogant!”

“The young man from earlier spent 345 thousand on three high–end rocks and didn’t get any top–

quality jadeite, yet this guy thinks that he can get it with a low–end rock that cost a few hundred!”

“He must be crazy!”

Amused by Leon’s words, the others stared at Leon as though they were looking at a fool.

“Why would you try to humiliate yourself like that?” Leon felt conflicted that Andy would not accept his gesture of kindness and was upset that the others mocked him because of it.

“Enough chit–chatting! Are you opening that rock up or not? If you don’t have the gut to do so, quit bragging!” Andy scoffed.

“But, alright, then! You asked for this, so don’t blame me later,” Leon muttered with resignation.

Since everyone took him for a fool under Andy’s lead, Leon was forced to prove that he was not bragging.
