But this year there was such a surprise. This is definitely going to cause a stir in the gemstone betting field.
An ZiYi and Le ZhengTian were both immensely proud observing the adoring and envious gazes from the crowd. In her heart, she was excited. In her second chance at life, she could finally become the one that others envied.
âCongratulations, congratulations, Le family head.â
âRight, you are so fortunate to gain such a great daughter-in-law.â
âMiss An skills are quite strong, I hope to have the chance to collaborate with Le family soon.â
There were many hoping to take advantage of the situation, kissingup in hopes of creating a relationship with Le family. Hopefully, they would be able to ask for An ZiYiâs help in the future.
âPlease, please. Itâs my son who has good eyesight.â Le ZhengTian responded with a gentle chuckle.
The surrounding people echoed his sentiments, âRight, Young Master Le has good eyesight.â
The smart ones didnât say anything at all and remained neutral. They could obviously hear that their arrogant words was directed at Xun family. They were implying that Le ChenXi had good eyesight so he dumped Xun familyâs Miss Xun and replaced her with a commoner girl.
Hehe...they really were brainless. Miss Xun hadnât even finished revealing her stones yet. But even if she did lose to Miss An, she still had Boss Mo supporting her.
Who dared to be so stupid as to mess with her? Those people must be thinking theyâve lived for too long.
On the one side, Le family was filled with jubilation. Meanwhile, it didnât seem like Xun family on the other side was too affected.
But there were still people hoping that some mocking and ridicule would get them on the good side of Le family. âI think this Miss Xun doesnât even know anything about gemstone betting. Up until now, she still hasnât been able to reveal any green yet. Maybe there isnât even any in there.â
âBased on her actions, she seems to know what sheâs doing. But could it only be for show?â
âDonât mention it, those raw materials that appear green on the outside are already considered a big risk. She wouldnât be thinking that since the outside was green, that the inside would also show green?â
âHahahaha....That could be it!â
âThis young girl is about to lose her face.â
âShe should just quickly go home to avoid losing to the point of crying later on.â
Father Xun was holding Mother Xunâs hand this whole time, whispering in comfort. âBelieve in Qearl. She wonât disappoint us.â He was also angry in the face of these peopleâs jeering, but he understood his daughter.
Mother Xun furiously glared at those sneering people, hating Le family in the bottom of her heart. Itâs all because of that damned Le ZhengTian. The one who had proposed arranged marriage was their family. Now, the ones that were breaking the promise was also their family. Did they really think that Xun family were just fool of pushovers.
XunMi wasnât disturbed by these external noises. She carefully sliced into the raw material. Perceiving the position of the energy currents, she began using the whetstone to polish the stone.
Soon, the clear shiny color revealed itself to XunMi. XunMi raised an eyebrow. This seems to be...
Her hands began moving faster. By the time she had brought out the entire jade, almost 10 minutes had passed.
âMy God, itâs actually nephrite!â (T/N The exact translation is the old crater ice type of jadeite) Someone in the crowd shouted with shock. Everyone turned in unison to the other size of the stage.
The pure color and smooth texture made it look almost translucent. It was hard to tell the specific type of jade with the naked eye. The light was able to directly pass through the jade. The color and solid texture revealed that it was a pure and high quality jade.
Nephrite was already rare. The sudden appearance of the rare jade type worth tens of millions, especially one that was as big as the palm of the hand, left viewers in disbelief.
XunMi played with it in her hands before beginning to splitting the second stone. In an instant, everyone became speechless.
An ZiYiâs three stones were already cut open. She had two Furong types with one being a scattered irregular dark green QingHua FuRong type. She also had a relatively large LanHua type that was an oval shape of about 10 centimeters.
FuRong type was still considered a high quality type but her jade just wasnât that big. The QingHua FuRong type would be limited in terms of repurposing for carving or tessellation. Based on the market value, the three pieces were worth about 100 million in total.
This temporarily had An ZiYi ahead of XunMi. But if XunMiâs next piece was a LanHua or Golden type, then she was set to win.
An ZiYiâs hands turned pale as they grasped tightly onto her jade pieces. Her whole body was strained, glaring at XunMiâs hand as if she was about to make a dive for the contents inside her grip.
XunMi placed down the splitting equipment and used the whetstone. This time, she polished for a while without seeing signs of green. Just as the crowd was letting out a disappointed sigh, XunMi stopped polishing.
She beckoned forward the judges. They immediately brought over a cup of water.
XunMi poured the water directly over the stone in her hand, allowing the water to reveal the radiance of her stone.
Green, dark green. A thick green that made people suck in a breathe. This was a pure green jadeite!
âOh, I donât even have the words. Miss Xun actually produced two high quality jades!â
âQuickly, pinch me. Make sure Iâm not dreaming.â
âI think Iâm in a parallel fantasy. Why does gemstone betting seem so easy today?â
â......â
Indeed, An ZiYi had uncovered three jades and now XunMi had found two more.
Nephrite and green jadeite! She didnât even need to open the third stone, this competition was Xun familyâs.
âBoss, did you predict this already? Thatâs why you didnât have me stop those people making comments?â Guan Xiao watched the surprise twist of events below in amazement and sudden realization.
Mo WenHan twirled a glass of red wine in one hand, âNo, itâs because I believe in her.â She was worth his trust. For this woman, no matter what she did, he felt like she would be able to succeed.
Guan Xiao didnât say anything, watching his bossâ eyes fill with joy while he muttered in his heart. It looks like Miss Xun will really become the bossâ wife, she canât escape anymore. It was no longer just a joking title of âmadamâ but the real deal.
âWill Miss Xun be splitting the third one?â A judge returned from his shock and stepped forward to respectfully ask.
No matter how amazing the gemstone betting master that Le family brought over was, she wonât be able to beat XunMi. Not only were her skills above her opponents, even her status was above An ZiYiâs.
At this moment, XunMi had already won. Her familyâs status also went up in rank. Her own social status will also continuously rise.
To create a good impression on her now would be the wisest move.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMiss Xun, will you be selling your nephrite? Iâm willing to pay 30 million.â
âI! I, I will bid 40 million!â
âIâll bid 40 million for the green jadeite!â
. . .
The people that had just been mocking Xun family a moment ago were now remorsefully listening to others bid. They wanted to follow suit but they were afraid that their previous behavior would be remembered, causing them to lose face.
The even more resentful person Le ZhengTian. He didnât expect XunMi would have such precise gemstone betting abilities.
