Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 546: Chapter 543 Worth Hundreds of Millions

Even Ouyang Jun and Qin Tian, who had seen a wide array of jadeite, couldn’t help but be slightly stunned, knowing that they held such top-tier raw jadeite in their hands.

Not to mention the other onlookers present, who appeared somewhat dazed and seemed unable to react upon witnessing such a sight.

Zhou Zhen’s face turned green instantly upon seeing the contents.

Even though only one cut was made, the jadeite inside was obviously of substantial quality, superior imperial green jadeite. Even the Jade Gambling King, Liu Chongren, who had gambled with jadeite for more than thirty years, had only ever discovered two pieces in his lifetime, and those pieces of imperial green jadeite were not large, especially when compared to the one in Huo Sining’s hands.

Huo Sining, this woman, always amazed when she made a move, and Zhou Zhen was well aware of this. Yet, now he couldn’t suppress the regret and greed in his heart.

If he had known that imperial green jadeite was hidden inside, let alone twenty million, he would have been willing to buy it for fifty million or even one hundred million.

It wasn’t just Zhou Zhen; Ye Zixin and Zhou Mei’s expressions were also contorted beyond recognition. Hattori Keiko was also gaping, her eyes filled with intense shock and envy.

Huo Sining poked the petrified Jiang Sibo and said with a calm smile, ”Boss Jiang, I’m going to trouble you to fetch me a basin of clean water...”

Jiang Sibo snapped back to reality, his mouth opened and closed as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he turned his head stiffly. His gaze at the rough jadeite was like that of a lover’s, tender and meticulous.

After a basin of water was brought over, Huo Sining began stone cutting again. However, now that they knew it was imperial green jadeite inside, Ouyang Jun and Qin Tian, who were helping with the stone cutting, became visibly solemn. They watched the line Huo Sining drew with nerves on edge, hesitant to proceed.

Even though they were aware of Huo Sining’s prowess in stone gambling, both men knew the value of imperial green and found the task somewhat daunting, fearing even the slightest damage to the jadeite with their cut.

Wu Jun might not have understood jadeite, but he had heard of the fame of imperial green. Seeing the serious expressions of the others, he also sensed that this stone must be of significant value, his eyes showing a hint of hesitation.

”It’s okay, go ahead and cut,” Huo Sining reassured them with a smile.

The three took a deep breath, then bent down and gently applied force, pushing the rough jadeite towards the stone cutting machine’s grinding wheel along the line that Huo Sining had drawn.

Everyone present held their breath, their eyes fixed intently on the stone cutting machine.

Su Qingqing and Bai Yishan were excited and nervous, but they held onto Huo Sining’s hand in unison, as if afraid that their agitation would startle Ouyang Jun and the others cutting the stone and somehow spoil the superior jadeite.

Zhou Zhen and his group were staring intensely at Huo Sining, not wanting to miss any expression or movement on her face.

Only after the second cut was completed did Jiang Sibo pour water on the second cut surface to clean away the stone powder and debris.

The eyes of the crowd shimmered with fervor and yearning, unwilling to look away from that pure, vibrant green.

Not just the onlookers, even Huo Sining herself probably wasn’t as composed as she appeared on the surface.

Although she had already seen the interior of this massive rock through her Heavenly Eye, the colors seen through the perspective weren’t as shocking as witnessing the actual object.

The raw material had already been cut on two sides, revealing that about one foot of the entire piece of jadeite was high-quality ’meat’, with an initial estimate suggesting that forty kilograms of jade could be extracted.

Such a large piece of imperial green material, its color both pure and rich, seemed almost as if the vivid greenness could flow out from the stone, imbued with a hint of blue yet perfectly balanced without any deviation.

”Glass type, the jade texture is soft and delicate, appearing calm yet impressive. This is absolutely a priceless piece of jadeite. Miss Huo, I can now understand what you meant by your previous statement. Not to mention twenty million, it’s worth even two billion! It’s just a pity that this raw material has collected dust at our Jiang Family for twenty to thirty years, with no one discovering its secret.”

Envy and a sense of powerlessness shone in Jiang Jikai, Jiang Sibo’s eyes. Such a treasure had been treated like trash by them, and they almost buried it as a foundation stone under their house.

Jiang Jikai had heard sayings like ”jades are spiritual, fate with jade is predestined,” which he never believed until he saw this piece of imperial green, and then he understood what those words meant.

What is yours will be yours, and what’s not will never be attained no matter how much you strive for it.

This stone had been exposed to the elements in the Jiang Family’s yard for so many years, yet not a single person ever suspected it could produce jadeite. But Huo Sining saw it the moment she arrived. It was all fate, which shows this stone did not belong to the Jiang Family.

Jiang Jikai knew that no amount of regret could change anything now. They weren’t entitled to it, and it was fortunate for the material to have met a connoisseur like Huo Sining.

With overwhelming regret and an intense obsession, Jiang Sibo assisted Huo Sining in cleaning the raw material in a state of conflicted emotion until the entire piece of imperial green was fully revealed and placed on a delicate cloth on the table after being thoroughly cleaned.

No one spoke during the entire process; even the mad old man Uncle Jiang Qi just stared blankly, gazing entrancedly at this superior imperial green.

Zhou Zhen and his group of four were green with regret. They looked at the imperial green and then at Huo Sining, their eyes filled with deep jealousy and dissatisfaction. Yet no matter how much they could not accept it, this billion-valued imperial green was out of their reach.

The news that Jiang Laoqi’s household had cut a priceless piece of imperial green from the Mogang Rock spread throughout the streets in just a day.

Fortunately, on the night the imperial green was cut, Huo Sining decisively placed it back into her storage ring. Then, when asked by others, she claimed that the jadeite was too valuable, and she had it transported overnight back to S City through the bank, successfully deceiving several of her peers.

Despite their confusion about when Huo Sining had arranged the transportation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that the superior imperial green jadeite had been safely transported back to S City.

Huo Sining didn’t trust the banking transportation channels. Such a large piece of imperial green was not like any other item; if lost, it couldn’t be bought back with money. If someone really wanted to tamper with it, she wouldn’t even have time to cry.

Therefore, she felt that the space in her ring was safer because no one would expect her to be carrying a piece of imperial green jadeite worth billions on her person.
