Chapter 665: Chapter 665: Fate, Sigh
The master glanced at Bai Xiao, "Miss, take a piece of advice, this cut will cost thirty yuan, and it’s not necessary. Any clear-eyed person can tell that the stone won’t increase in value." The master was definitely well-intentioned.
"Go ahead and cut it! Master, I just want some peace of mind. I always feel like there should be something inside." Bai Xiao spoke kindly and politely.
She was indeed seeking peace of mind.
What she was seeking was peace of mind about her special ability, who could know that Bai Xiao herself was also nervous.
The master reluctantly started the small electric saw and cut off a corner of the stone.
To Baldy’s surprise, his eyes suddenly shone with greed—inside was the transparent, flowing water of Glass-type, imperial green!
Baldy was stunned and suddenly his eyes bulged.
He cursed in his heart, damn it, how could such a thing turn around and increase in value, isn’t there any justice in this world?
The master polished the stone into a ring face, flawless inside, like a shiny green water droplet, afraid it would roll away if not careful. He cut another three pieces from it, all capable of being polished into ring faces and sold off.
The remaining pieces were split into three slices, the middle one like green glass, an excellent material for collectible carvings, and someone immediately offered four hundred thousand yuan to buy it. In less than half an hour, they had made a profit that left everyone dumbfounded.
Baldy regretted it so much that he slapped his forehead, "Why did I sell it for just fifty yuan! Why did I sell it for just fifty yuan!"
He felt like banging his head against the wall.
Shao Ming crowded next to Bai Xiao, delighted, "I didn’t expect you to have this skill, I really misjudged you. Impressive, I’ll follow your lead from now on, big brother." That was over four hundred thousand yuan that had entered his account in the blink of an eye! This exhilarating feeling finally made him understand why some people were obsessed with gambling on stone; the feeling of sudden wealth was truly unique.
The main thing was the damn exhilarating feeling of turning a loss-making piece into a profit in an instant, raising one’s eyebrows in triumph and indulging in sweet revenge.
Bai Xiao shook her head, "I really don’t know how to gamble on stone, I was just fooling around. This is all luck!"
She hadn’t expected her special ability to be so powerful, although it was only a small ring. Even though she didn’t understand jade, achieving her goal was what mattered. Now she felt confident that she could indeed expand on her special ability in this lifetime and not let it go to waste.
"With your luck, you’re really defying fate, picking up someone else’s discarded junk and still finding a treasure isn’t common," Baldy said, a mixture of depression and envy. That’s just how this business is, one might misjudge, and if one does, there’s no one else to blame.
He had been on the verge of making a fortune just a moment ago, and had ended up giving it away for fifty yuan; the thought alone made him lose face, and he still dared to claim he was a gambler on stone.
"Bai Xiao, what are you doing here?"
An abrupt voice caused Bai Xiao to look up, Shang Kaiwen and Liu Chuanfeng looked like a perfect pair standing together; Shang Kaiwen was still wearing her usual white dress, with her long hair draped over her shoulders and a hat, exuding British elegance and beauty. Many people were covertly observing Shang Kaiwen, swallowing their saliva, and quite a few Burmese had fiery eyes. Rarely did they see such superb women here—it was not a woman’s battlefield. Although there were women in this line of work, they were mostly the tomboy-ish type, strong and rugged, lacking the soft demure charm by a long shot.
Liu Chuanfeng was frowning, staring at Bai Xiao with what seemed to be anger.
What a coincidence.
Bai Xiao didn’t understand, why would Shang Kaiwen come to such a place of her own accord?
The Shang family in her previous life dealt with the pharmaceutical industry, so why would they come here?
She hadn’t even started to settle the score with Shang Kaiwen, and Shang Kaiwen had delivered herself to the doorstep.
Bai Xiao began to consider whether to shake hands with Shang Kaiwen or something, perhaps letting Shang Kaiwen go back to die violently would be quite satisfying. But would that be too blunt and lacking sophistication? Wasn’t the real revenge making Shang Kaiwen experience the torment of her previous life, living like a walking corpse, without hope, without a future, with all her loved ones meeting terrible fates?
That would be true vengeance—to let Shang Kaiwen die! Instead, it would be letting her off easy.
Bai Xiao still suppressed the impulsive thoughts stirring within her, not to rush, absolutely not to rush. 𝚗𝚘v𝚙𝚞b.𝚌𝚘m
