Chapter 685: Chapter 685: When Luck Comes, It Can’t Be Stopped
Bai Xiao smiled slightly, "Master, let’s do the stone gambling!"
Not admitting defeat, that’s good.
Kaiwen was shocked and did not understand how Liu Chuanfeng could lose.
"Big Brother Liu, what happened?"
If Bai Xiao won, that would mean a loss of two billion. Money was a minor matter, but if Liu Chuanfeng lost, he had to retire from the jade stone industry for life; thus, they would be losing a key figure, not just money.
Recently, thanks to Liu Chuanfeng’s help, their family’s jewelry store had been doing quite well, selling many jade jewelry pieces well in Harbor City, attracting many eager buyers. In just a few months, she had already tasted the sweetness of the jewelry and jade industry and was thinking of expanding the business, but now they faced a major setback.
Without Liu Chuanfeng, who would pick the stones for her?
Liu Chuanfeng thought Kaiwen was worried about him, "Don’t worry, her piece of stone I am almost certain is flawed too, and it will end up as a draw! I didn’t expect this stone to actually contain Pig Bristle Moss; I missed it," he consoled Kaiwen.
Indeed, even immortals can’t reliably predict the outcome of jade.
Only then did Kaiwen feel relieved.
"Big Brother Liu, that’s good, don’t worry! I will cover this payment, it has nothing to do with you, you represent our Shang Family." Kaiwen was very good at winning people’s hearts.
Liu Chuanfeng was moved to tears; in his eyes, Kaiwen was the most angelic.
"How should we cut it?" the master asked Bai Xiao. Stone gambling was not only about luck but also skill, his judgment on how to cut this stone was really uncertain.
Just now, they had cut out Pig Bristle Moss, which had been surprising, and now if this skin-green stone revealed a full green, it would truly be jaw-dropping.
Liu Chuanfeng teased sarcastically from aside, "Doctor Bai, do you know how to cut a stone? Why don’t you do it!" The appearance of Pig Bristle Moss had rendered the stone useless, which upset Liu Chuanfeng as he had spent fifty million on it; the disappointing outcome certainly pained him. But if Bai Xiao didn’t lose, he would never turn his fortunes around, and he also wanted to see what was special about Bai Xiao’s stone.
Bai Xiao chose not to argue back.
She really didn’t know how to cut stones, but there was someone who did.
"Baldy, how should we cut it?"
Baldy was embarrassed, with so many eyes on him, he had truly made a name for himself today; after today, nobody would not recognize him as someone who gambled on a skin-green stone and lost everything. But now was not the time for regrets.
"Cut it right down the middle!"
It was either going to be fully green or just a layer, they had to cut it open to find out.
Wiping it a hundred times was useless.
Bai Xiao shook her head, "No! Master, not from the middle, cut it from this side, right here," directing her master to draw a line, she felt her special ability had lingered at the center of the stone, it shouldn’t be cut from the middle, but rather skimmed from the side.
Liu Chuanfeng sneered.
"Pretending to know when you don’t!"
The master didn’t question and followed the instruction; after all, if the cut wasn’t right, it was still the customer paying for it.
It had nothing to do with them anyway.
"Don’t think I am boasting, perhaps your skill can’t match my luck. You never know when luck will strike, and once it does, there’s no stopping it." Bai Xiao wasn’t intending to upset anyone, but these words really did annoy people.
The master bowed his head, unsure whether to laugh or to cut.
