Reborn Missy An Adorable Wife-Chapter 18

Because the raw stone was very heavy, seven or eight burly men came forward to help. They carried the raw stone to the side of the stone-cutting machine. Zhou Xiang put on his gloves and began to cut the stone.

Tang Feng also wanted to know what Gu Qingchen’s taste was like. He did not leave and stood beside Gu Qingchen, waiting to see the stone-cutting process.

He felt that the quality of this raw stone was not bad. It was a hundred times better than the waste material that Gu Qingchen had chosen before.

Zhou Xiang was not careless at all. He was very careful when he cut the stone. This time, it was obviously more troublesome than the last time. Zhou Xiang followed Gu Qingchen’s request and used a grinder to cut in one direction.

Usually, this kind of cutting method was very risky. If one accidentally cut the jade, a few million dollars might turn into ten thousand dollars. Sometimes, this cut had a decisive effect.

If it were Zhou Xiang, he would not take such a risk. He would rather spend more time and use the grinder until there was an opening bit by bit. This way, it was much safer than cutting the jade just like that.

However, since Gu Qingchen had asked him to do so, he could only listen to Gu Qingchen.

Fortunately, this cut did not cut into the jade. After that, Gu Qingchen did not interfere with Zhou Xiang and let him slowly clean it.

Gu Qingchen had her reasons for doing so. Based on the strength of the touch, she could feel which part of the stone was likely to have jade. To be honest, she was a little excited at the moment, she really wanted to know what kind of jade it was.

At this place, as long as someone cut the stones on the spot, there would be a lot of people watching. All of them stretched their necks and wanted to see the result.

Some people even started to discuss.

“Do you guys think that there will be jade?”

“It’s hard to say. To be honest, this girl’s taste isn’t very good. The raw stone she picked before was just a piece of scrap. If Young Master Tang didn’t spend money, that scrap wouldn’t even be worth much.”

......

“But from what I see, this old pit’s raw stone looks pretty good. Maybe it might really have jade. But, what does Young Master Tang mean by this? Spending money and accompanying her. Could it be that Young Master Tang has taken a liking to this girl?”

“Shh! Don’t spout nonsense. Who doesn’t know that Young Master Tang is a famous playboy? He only has two hobbies, jade, and beauty. Although that girl is a little young, it’s not hard to tell that she’s a beauty.”

“Tsk tsk, this is really unethical. He actually laid his hands on such a young girl.”

If these people’s words were known by Tang Feng, he would probably be furious. Why would he lay his hands on a little fox like Gu Qingchen?

Hehe, what kind of big joke was this. f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Just as everyone was discussing fervently, Zhou Xiang became excited once again. “It... it’s jade, there’s jade again!”

What? It’s really jade!

This girl’s luck is too good!

Zhou Xiang ignored these people’s exclamations. He quickly poured a bottle of mineral water and wiped it with a clean handkerchief. Very quickly, a bright green came into view.

Gu Qingchen stared at the jade and finally revealed a trace of joy on her face. Even Tang Feng looked at her with a trace of surprise.

“Old Zhou, hurry up and continue. Open it and let us have a look!”

In the crowd, someone immediately urged Zhou Xiang, wanting to know what the whole piece of jade looked like when it was opened.

“Wait!”

A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses stood out. Some regular customers recognized him.

This man’s name was Ding Hao. He was the owner of the largest jewelry store in City Y. He came here often, so many people knew him.

Zhou Xiang glanced at Ding Hao and immediately understood what Ding Hao was trying to do. “Mr. Ding, are you trying to half-bet on raw stones?”

The so-called half-bet on raw stones was a type of gambling that was carried out after the raw stones were wiped that had an opening and revealed a little bit of jade.

This kind of stone gambling method had both opportunities and risks. Sometimes, it was even more exciting than directly gambling with raw stones.

One had to know that even if the raw stones had little openings and revealed a bit of jade, it meant that there must be jade inside. It was very likely that it was the same as the raw stone Gu Qingchen had bought earlier. In fact, there was only a thin layer of jade, and the rest were all stones.

And the price of this raw stone that revealed jade was much higher.

Ding Hao nodded and said, “Yes, I do have this intention. But I wonder if you would consider half-bet?”

Ding Hao seemed to think that Gu Qingchen didn’t know about this, so he patiently explained, “Although the raw stone you picked revealed a bit of jade, it’s hard to say whether there is jade in it. If you sell this raw stone now, it’s a sure win for you.”

In other words, there was no need to take the next risk.

Whether there was jade in it, Gu Qingchen would definitely get the money and leave the risk to others.

“Sorry, I didn’t plan to do half-betting on the raw stone. Boss Zhou, let’s continue.”

She was sure that there was definitely jade in the raw stone, so there was no need to half-bet on it.

Ding Hao didn’t force it. This kind of thing was always voluntary. Since Gu Qingchen wasn’t willing to sell, he would continue to watch.

Zhou Xiang went along with the opening that was polished and changed into smaller tools. He carefully polished them, and soon, two palm-sized pieces of jade were revealed.

“Hiss! It’s actually high-grade ice. Looking at the situation, the jade inside should be quite big!”

“If this were all jade inside, it would be a fortune. High-grade ice jade is very rare!”

“Damn, I didn’t expect that I would be lucky enough to see the whole process of the high-grade ice jade being cut open today. I’m so excited. If I brag to others later, I will look cool!”

“Don’t get too excited. Keep watching, keep watching!”

It must be known that many people bought raw stone jade every day. However, there were not many people who could discover jade after having it cut open on the spot. Now that a high-grade ice jade had appeared, how could it not cause a stir?

The quality of jade depended on many factors. Firstly, it depended on the type of jade. The best type of jade was the glass type, which was extremely rare. Secondly, it was ice type. Ice types were also further categorized. Like the high-grade ice water jade was definitely rare.

With such high-grade ice water jade placed in front, even if the jade inside was not as transparent or had cracks, the price would not be too low.

Therefore, when people recognized that it was high-grade ice, they became very excited.

High-grade ice represented money.

Ding Hao had wanted to buy Gu Qingchen’s raw stone, but when he saw that it was high-grade ice, he lost his composure instantly. “Young lady, are you sure you want to cut open all of them? If you sell the raw stone now, I’m willing to pay one million!”

This price was very high. Gu Qingchen’s raw stone only cost more than ten thousand dollars, and now, in the blink of an eye, it had increased by a hundred times, and only a small part of the raw stone had been cut open.

Although Tang Feng stood there silently, he was very surprised. Although he had a lot of high-grade ice jade, he did not expect that an amateur like Gu Qingchen would choose such a good raw stone.

Even if he were to choose it himself, he might not be able to pick such a good raw stone.

So... this Gu Qingchen was definitely freaking lucky!

Zhou Xiang could also see that Gu Qingchen was a newbie, so he suggested, “Mr. Ding’s price is not low. Based on my experience, even if this jade is cut open completely, it will not be more than the size of a human head. One million is not a loss.”

Zhou Xiang gave his opinion from Gu Qingchen’s point of view. Unfortunately, Gu Qingchen did not intend to sell it.
