As the direct granddaughter of the Nan Yun Gu Dao aristocratic family, would Xiu Xiu lack money?
The answer was obviously no.
Therefore, Ling Feng wasn't worried about Xiu Xiu losing money at all. It was good for a young lady like her to learn a lesson by spending money.
"Oh dear, little girl, you're going to go crazy spending money like this!"
"Yes, you can't spend money like this even if you have it. This is already millions of dollars worth of items!"
...
The onlookers couldn't stand it and urged her to stop.
Although the stall owner was smiling, he was starting to feel a bit panicked.
He knew exactly what kind of goods he was selling!
The young lady in front of him was spending millions with a single transaction, so she must have an extraordinary background. If he were to know that he had swindled her, he might face a fatal consequence!
The stall owner understood the principle of greed leading to ruin.
Wiping the cold sweat that was beading on his forehead, the stall owner smiled bitterly and said to Xiu Xiu with difficulty, "My dear young lady, you've picked clean all the good stuff from my stall today! Meeting an expert like you means I won't be able to do business for the entire month! Please spare me!"
Hearing the stall owner beg for mercy, Xiu Xiu finally revealed a smug expression, "Hmph, you know to beg now? Who told you I didn't understand!"
"Give me back my bank card, and then cut them!"
The stall owner tremblingly handed back the bank card and then asked with feigned surprise, "My dear young lady, are you going to cut all these stones?"
"Of course, cut them all for me!"
Xiu Xiu made a chopping motion with her hand, clearly full of confidence in her judgment.
The ones she picked would definitely increase in value!
"Hey, hey, don't you understand what my Xiu Xiu is saying? Cut them when you're told to, what's with all the fuss?"
Lin Shuai Nan said impatiently.
"Alright, alright, I'll have someone cut them now... However, my dear young lady, won't you mark these stones or something?"
"No need, no need, just cut them as you see fit. The ones I picked will definitely increase in value!"
Yang Fei's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but support his forehead and shake his head. He truly didn't know where Xiu Xiu got her courage from.
Tang Ru had been observing Ling Feng and Yang Fei's expressions. Judging by their looks, Xiu Xiu was definitely going to lose money this time.
"Isn't it a bit much for you to just watch her lose money like this?"
"If she loses, she loses, and then we'll just buy what we want and leave!"
Ling Feng replied casually.
Tang Ru's eyes widened. Today, she had witnessed Ling Feng's dark and cunning side, deliberately letting someone lose money?
"You're so wicked!"
Ling Feng's eyebrows twitched. When a woman said something like this to a man, it was always easy to make people's minds wander.
Screech screech screech...
The stone cutting machines whirred to life. With more than ten gambling stones being cut, such a scene was extremely rare, and it soon attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
Discussions erupted all around, but Xiu Xiu's expression was one of excitement, looking as if she was about to dominate.
From time to time, she would send a smug little glance towards Ling Feng.
This gambling stone hall had more than a dozen raw jadeite stalls, all managed uniformly. With such a huge commotion on the scene, the owner naturally noticed.
"This woman is a bit of an idiot, wasting millions for nothing!"
Wang Xing Zhao held a cigarette in his hand and stared at Xiu Xiu's face on the monitor, mocking her with a playful smile.
Inadvertently, Wang Xing Zhao swept his gaze across Ling Feng's stern profile and was slightly stunned. He took out his phone.
On it was a front-facing photo of Ling Feng.
"Huh, is this the kid who sent Young Master Mo to the hospital? Heh heh, what a coincidence. Young Master Mo has offered a sky-high reward of one hundred million to teach this kid a lesson. Today, this kid has walked right into my trap. I must teach you a good lesson!"
Wang Xing Zhao stood up, his young face carrying a cunning expression that was unbefitting of his age.
"Young Master, there are so many people here. Are you going over now?"
An old servant-like man beside him bowed and tried to dissuade him.
"That's true. Let's see how this kid plays out first. Have the people below keep an eye out, and don't let them leave easily!"
"Yes, Young Master, you can rest assured!"
The old servant responded and left.
Wang Xing Zhao continued to watch the monitor, his playful smile growing wider.
He greatly enjoyed this feeling of spying on others, even controlling their destinies.
Screech... Clang!
The first stone was cut open. Before Xiu Xiu could step forward, she heard bursts of laughter from the side.
"Haha, just as expected, it's a dud!"
"This is scrap material, the texture is too poor! It's already bean-like, and it has so many cracks, it's practically a king's crack!"
"Haha, this piece cost her over fifty thousand, and now even if it's all made into beads, it'll only be worth five hundred yuan at most! What a loss!"
...
The laughter was filled with mockery.
Xiu Xiu's face turned extremely red, and she angrily reprimanded, "What are you all laughing at! This is just the first one, wait for the others!"
Lin Shuai Nan even rushed into the crowd, "I'll see who dares to laugh! Believe it or not, I'll beat the shit out of you!"
Lin Shuai Nan's ferocity did intimidate some people.
However, as the second and third stones clanged to the ground.
The surrounding voices resurfaced.
"Alas, oily green jade, what a shame, the water content is insufficient, too shallow."
"Worthless, worthless, I thought it was black jade, but it turned out to be scrap!"
"Oh, look, this one is showing white fog! This piece looked pretty good when the light was shone on it!"
Finally, someone let out a positive comment, but by then, only a few stones were left.
Xiu Xiu's face had turned from red to pale!
She was so ashamed and angry that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into!
She had already lost two million yuan. For two million yuan worth of goods, she had only opened up less than five thousand yuan worth of jade, and if it were to be made into something, it probably wouldn't even cover the processing fees!
All a loss!
"Xiu Xiu, don't be afraid. We can still afford this little bit of money! Maybe this one will increase in value!"
Although Lin Shuai Nan appeared nonchalant, he was actually quite smart. After looking around the crowd, he had grasped some common knowledge about jadeite!
"How could it possibly increase in value? There are only two left!"
Xiu Xiu looked dejected. Everyone was mocking her, and she felt utterly humiliated. Lin Shuai Nan's comfort did bring her a little warmth.
This man knew how to coax people, but unfortunately... he was crazy!
"Hey, it really has green!"
"Apple green, glutinous ice jade, material with bracelet potential!"
"Not bad, not bad. If it's made into something, it can be sold for twenty thousand yuan!"
Twenty thousand yuan?
Xiu Xiu had thought that with everyone's heated discussion, there was hope for a significant increase in value, but upon hearing that even this last piece could only be sold for twenty thousand yuan, she was completely despairing.
"This... heh heh, my dear young lady, it seems your luck is a bit bad today."
The stall owner was also extremely embarrassed and secretly cursed, "This little girl really knows how to pick. She probably picked all the duds..."
"Alright, you've had your fun, and you've lost your money. Are you going to give up now?"
Ling Feng stepped forward and urged.
Xiu Xiu's eyes turned red, "Hmph, I don't care! You have to help me win it back! Losing millions like this is too embarrassing..."
