Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1295: Chapter 1291: The Fisherman Gains the Profit

The jade fragments scattered on the ground were heart-wrenchingly beautiful, and there was a loud explosion of gasps and exclamations from the audience, drowning out the entire venue.

Zhong Yuejin knew that the bottle of mineral water had caused big trouble, and he was in a daze, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, his arms hanging beside his body involuntarily trembling, his gaze distant as if lost in thought.

On the other hand, Wang Zhongwei reacted quickly. After the jade brought him a significant blow, it took him less than ten seconds to snap out of the shock. With a sullen face, he grabbed Zhong Yuejin and said coldly, ”Damn it, this is a setup; your nephew is deliberately messing with us. We must find them!”

Discovering they had been tricked, Wang Zhongwei’s face was twisted and sinister, his hatred for Zhong Zifan and Liao Song palpable, wishing he could gnaw their bones.

Hearing Wang Zhongwei’s words, Zhong Yuejin also came to his senses. The two didn’t bother cleaning up the mess and pushed through the crowd to find the two culprits.

However, Zhong Zifan and Liao Song were both shrewd. They wouldn’t wait at the scene for Wang Zhongwei to settle scores later; they had already slipped away while everyone was distracted!

Sure enough, before long, Wang Zhongwei and Zhong Yuejin came back dejectedly, along with their other partner. The three of them sifted through the pile of jade fragments, hoping to find a usable piece among them.

Unfortunately for the trio, the jade fragments had shattered into uniformly sized pieces, with no value whatsoever.

Wang Zhongwei’s fists clenched tightly, a sharp look flashing in his eyes. He gazed at the worthless pile of fragments in silence before dragging Zhong Yuejin away.

Once the two left, the onlookers finally began to talk freely, all lamenting over the glassy jade. Such a large piece of exquisite jade, rarely seen even at the annual domestic stone gambling fairs, was shattered before their eyes!

”That’s why there’s a saying in the trade: better to bet on color than on cracks. Don’t think an old crack can’t penetrate. Look at this time; it was old pit glassy, yet the cracks got in and shattered so thoroughly. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life!”

”Even an expert can’t tell a jade’s fate with certainty. Who could have predicted this? Such a large glassy jade; the allure is so great that if it had risen in value, you could earn tens of millions instantly. Who wouldn’t want to take a gamble?”

”I really admire those two young guys. In the face of such temptation, they managed to restrain themselves and knew when to stop. Such self-control is truly rare.”

”That’s called being clever. Those two brothers cut their losses in time and made a profit. Didn’t you see those three guys trying to catch them after the jade went bust? But they had already run off with the money. Did you see the expressions on those two’s faces?”

As the people dispersed, Su Qingqing also pulled Huo Sining towards the Bright Bid Area. Listening to their discussions, Huo Sining couldn’t help but curl her lips in a sneer.

This is stone gambling—one cut could make you rich, another impoverish you. If Wang Zhongwei and Zhong Yuejin hadn’t been thinking of taking advantage, they wouldn’t have fallen into this trap.

Huo Sining felt vindicated for Zhong Zifan. After being suppressed by his uncle for so many years, he finally got his revenge and managed to trick Zhong Yuejin.

It’s just a pity Zhong Yuejin was too cunning, not daring to bear the risk alone. If he had bought the rough stone himself, he’d have certainly lost the twelve million.

Huo Sining felt a bit disappointed and shook her head. At least, Zhong Zifan managed to turn the tables this time. This silent loss, whether for Wang Zhongwei or Zhong Yuejin, they had to swallow, because it’s the rule in the stone gambling circle—whether you win or lose depends on your skill, and once deals are done, no backing out.

”That was several kilograms of glassy jade! Damn, if it had been flawless, how much would it be worth!”

A gambler walking out couldn’t help turning back to look at the pile of fragments, his eyes filled with regret and unwillingness.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener took note. These words fell on Qibao’s ears, the little one paused subconsciously and glanced back at the glittering fragments.

”Qibao? What’s wrong?”

Huo Sining tugged Qibao towards the Silent Bid Area, but after a few steps, the little one abruptly stopped and refused to move. Puzzled, Huo Sining bent down and looked at Qibao curiously.

Seeing Qibao’s gaze fixed on the stone cutting machine, Huo Sining couldn’t help but feel puzzled and was about to ask when the little one suddenly broke free and ran straight towards the stone cutting machine.

By now, staff had already called for workers to the scene, preparing to clear the scraps in front of the stone cutting machine, and soon, the pile of worthless jade fragments would be cleaned up, all dumped into the trash bin.

Qibao innocently looked at the staff and timidly asked, ”Uncle, could I have those fragments?”

The staff was clearing the garbage, and although the jade fragments were beautiful, they were indeed worthless now. They would typically recycle such things and send them to the landfill. Though regretful, they’d seen so many that they were numb to it.

Now suddenly a little one came asking for the fragments, the staff wasn’t annoyed and glanced at Qibao with a smile: ”Little one, what do you want with this pile of fragments?”

A blush appeared on Qibao’s face as he pretended to be shy, ”Uncle, I’m Huaxia, and this is my first time in Myanmar and seeing stone gambling. I love Jadeite, but the stones are expensive, and I’m too young to afford them. I heard my sister say these fragments are useless and will be thrown away. Uncle, since you’re planning to throw them away, why not give them to me? I’ll take them back for my classmates and friends. Though they’re fragments, they’ll surely love them!”

The staff burst into laughter upon hearing this. Qibao was just five or six years old, and the staff had no idea the little one had other thoughts, assuming he truly wanted to give the fragments as gifts. Without suspicion, the staff waved his hand with a smile: ”It’s just a pile of worthless jade dust, take it if you like, no charge.”

What kind of money could a five or six-year-old have? Besides, the stuff was destined for the landfill. Generously, the staff gave the fragments to Qibao.

Qibao was thrilled, found a snakeskin bag, swept the broken jade into it, and happily carried the bag to reunite with Huo Sining.
