Chapter 232 -232 Stone Cutting
“I heard, so what?” Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help but frown. “Who your dad is, what does that have to do with me? Besides, we don’t even know you! We’re just here quietly stone cutting, and you have to go and make trouble.”
Hearing Zhong Niangyao’s ruthless words, Liu Yiyi’s face turned green with anger. She ignored Zhong Niangyao, stepped forward, looked at Lu Yichen, and said directly, “Handsome guy, whatever this woman can give you, I can give you too. Moreover, what she can’t give you, I can also provide. Just dump her and be with me, and when we return, I can get my dad to arrange for you to work at Zhong Group.”
“Not only that, I am my father’s only daughter, and in the future, everything he owns will be left to me. If you’re with me, you can skyrocket to success without having to rely on luck here.”
She had set her sights on this man today and intended to have him at all costs. In the past, any man she fancied never escaped her grasp. Most men, after hearing about her family background, didn’t need her to do much; with a simple beckon, they would follow her.
Now, she was confident that this handsome guy would be no different from the others. She had the background and the figure; her face perhaps wasn’t as pretty as the woman before her, but she was still a great beauty. Anyone with eyes would know how to choose.
Lu Yichen looked at Liu Yiyi, who was full of self-importance and confidence, and simply uttered one word, “Scram——”
“What did you say?” Liu Yiyi couldn’t believe her own ears, “Did you even understand what I just said?”
“It is you who has the hearing problem, not him,” Zhong Niangyao spoke coldly from the side. “Also, you’re seriously getting in our way now.”
Seeing the indifferent Zhong Niangyao and the aloof Lu Yichen, Liu Yiyi was so furious she almost couldn’t speak. She had never encountered such unreasonable people.
“Master, continue the stone cutting,” Zhong Niangyao’s tone also carried a hint of impatience.
Seeing how Zhong Niangyao ignored her like this, Liu Yiyi felt even angrier inside. However, this was Myanmar, not the Imperial Capital. So even though she was annoyed, she couldn’t do anything about it. After all, this wasn’t her territory. Even if she really wanted to teach this woman a lesson, it didn’t have to be done right away. Once back in China, she would definitely find this woman and make her pay.
However, although she was angry, Liu Yiyi didn’t leave; instead, she continued to stay there. She didn’t believe Zhong Niangyao’s piece of raw stone would reveal anything valuable. She planned to wait and have a good laugh at Zhong Niangyao later.
“Alright, alright.”
The stone cutting master, who was initially enjoying the drama, hurriedly glanced at the raw stone in his hand and asked, “So, dear customer, where would you like me to cut?”
Although he also thought the waste stone before him wouldn’t contain any jade, the woman was still a customer, and he had to provide service. Besides, his fee was guaranteed regardless of whether any jade was found.
Of course, if jade was discovered, the customer would be pleased and might even give him an extra tip.
Zhong Niangyao glanced at the raw stone and then turned her head to look at Lu Yichen beside her, a clear question in her eyes.
In neither her past life nor this one had she gambled on stone. Without the Heavenly Eye, she had chosen this stone based on instinct, so she truly didn’t know how to cut it. However, she felt that Lu Yichen probably did.
After all, it seemed Lu Yichen had been dealing with these matters for quite some time. He even owned a jade mine here.
Lu Yichen, of course, understood Zhong Niangyao’s gaze. He smiled and shook his head, and when he looked back at the stone cutting master, his expression became cold again.
Then, he picked up a marker, drew several lines on the raw stone, and declared, “Cut it like this!”
“Got it!”
Quickly, the stone cutting master started the machine and made the cut.
“There’s green, there’s green.”
As the stone cutting master made that cut, the surrounding crowd began to cheer and applaud.
The stone cutting master was also taken aback. He hurriedly took out his tools and started rubbing the freshly cut surface. After rubbing for a while, he scooped up a ladle of water and poured it down.
Soon, everyone could clearly see the true face of the jade.
“It’s Violet, it’s actually Violet.”
“Yeah! And looking at the translucency, it’s ice jade too! This is a major windfall.”
The onlookers began to discuss animatedly. Ice jade is already considered top quality. Moreover, the stone was the size of a basketball, and they had only cut a small surface so far. Even if half of it contained ice jade, it would be a huge increase in value.
When others learned that Zhong Niangyao had only spent two thousand yuan on what was essentially a piece of waste stone, they became all the more envious and resentful, wishing they could turn back time to snatch up such a bargain.
“How is this possible?” Liu Yiyi couldn’t believe her eyes and was biting her teeth in hatred, before saying disdainfully, “Hmph, it’s just a small surface that has been exposed; who knows if it’s just a thin slice!”
“One million. Young lady, I’ll pay one million for this stone.”
“One million three hundred thousand, I can offer one million three hundred thousand.”
“One and a half million.”

The people on scene didn’t heed Liu Yiyi’s sour comments. They started bidding immediately.
This was another form of gambling in the Gambling Stone Market. They began offering prices just as a small section was revealed. Naturally, these offers wouldn’t be high.
However, some people prefer to take what they can get and choose to sell the stone right away. After all, no one knows what the next cuts will reveal about the size of the jade.
For both buyers and sellers, it’s a gamble.
Seeing people around her placing bids, Zhong Niangyao shook her head, “Sorry, everyone, but I intend to continue with the stone cutting. Also, I don’t plan on selling the jade that comes out.”
With that, she signaled to the stone cutting master to carry on.
The gambling stone master handled the stone with much more care this time, making another cut on a different side.
Indeed, it revealed the same color as the other side.
“There’s more green; this piece of jade really isn’t small, is it! This young lady really struck it big with this raw stone purchase.”
