Chapter 74: Purple Jade!

When Shen Dongyang heard this, his eyes immediately lit up and he repeatedly praised Gu Qingchen. The raw stones in Gu Qingchen’s hand did not produce any jade. When the time came, he would win.

The surrounding spectators all sighed and complained.

“Is this girl out of her mind?”

“How can she be so stupid? She clearly won. Isn’t she asking for trouble?”

“Seriously, I can’t stand it anymore. The remaining two raw stones, one is not bad, and the other... sigh, it’s simply too horrible to look at.”

“Sigh, this girl is inexperienced and too na?ve.”

“Tsk, it’s clearly that man who is too shameless. He can even say such words.”

No matter how the others discussed it, Shen Dongyang felt relieved after hearing Gu Qingchen’s words.

Haha, it seemed like things had taken a turn for the better. The two million dollars had become Shen Dongyang’s again.

In just a short while, Shen Dongyang experienced the feeling of heaven going to hell, and Hell going to heaven again.

“Quick, cut the stone.”

Gu Qingchen was not in a hurry, but Shen Dongyang was. He urged Old Liu to cut the stone quickly.

Old Liu glanced at Gu Qingchen. Seeing that Gu Qingchen nodded slightly in agreement, Old Liu stood up again and began to clean his hands again. This time, it took a longer time, as if he wanted to take more luck. He wanted to cut a good jade for Gu Qingchen.

“Miss, which one do you want to open first?”

Gu Qingchen touched her lips and thought for a while, then pointed to the good-looking raw stone.

“Let’s open this one first.”

“Okay!”

Old Liu happily asked someone to bring the good-looking raw stone over. Then, he looked at it carefully for a long time and thought about where to start.

After thinking for a while, he remembered that Gu Qingchen had specifically told him to open the raw stone in the middle when he was cutting it. He didn’t expect it to really have jade in the stone.

Therefore, he asked Gu Qingchen before he cut the raw stone.

“How do you want to cut this raw stone? Do you want to cut it or grind It?”

Gu Qingchen looked at the raw stone and said, “I’m afraid this raw stone will need to be fully polished. It will take some time and energy, so I’ll have to trouble you.”

“No problem. I have a lot of energy. I can cut a few more raw stone.”

With that, Old Liu sat down and began to use a table grinder to grind the raw stone bit by bit.

Time flew by quickly. Watching people grind was also a tiring task. Because it took a long time, some people stopped watching and went to pick out their raw stones first.

Just as Shen Dongyang yawned impatiently, Old Liu’s trembling voice sounded again.

“There! It’s out.”

What?

Again?

No!

No!

It’s not green, it’s purple!

The window that Old Liu had polished was clearly purple.

Oh my god!

It’s actually purple jade!

Was it for real?

The crowd was once again in an uproar, extremely excited.

Most of the jades were green and yellow in color, there were very few pink or red jades, and purple jades were even rarer.

This kind of colored jades were very popular among women. Purple represented a mysterious and noble temperament. As for women, they all liked mystery.

Therefore, purple jades were very popular and had a good market. However, there were not many purple jades on the market, and very few people could buy purple jades.

It was because purple jades were not produced in high quantities and were not as common as pink hibiscus jades.

“The quality of this raw stone is not bad, but I didn’t expect it to be a purple jade. It’s really shocking.”

“I wonder how big the purple jade is inside. Could it be that god is helping that girl? She is so blessed.”

“Haha, did you see that? That man’s face is green.”

“Hurry up and untie all of it. It’s so small, it really makes our hearts itch.”

Gu Qingchen’s eyes lit up when she saw the purple jade. Almost all women would like a beautiful jade, and Gu Qingchen was no exception.

She only knew that the jade inside the raw stone was not bad, but she did not know what the jade inside was. So when she saw the purple jade, she smiled.

Old Liu was very excited. He had cut two raw stones in a row today, and both of them had jade. One was green, and the other was purple. This was definitely a good sign.

People like them were very particular about their luck. Only when they were lucky enough and cut many jades out of the raw stones would they be more popular.

Some people were unlucky. Every time they opened a raw stone, it did not have jade. Such people could not continue in their line of work.

The luckier they were, the more people would look for him to cut the raw stone, and the more money he would earn.

He thought that if he cut the raw stones for Gu Qingchen today, he might not be able to get a green jade. He did not expect that he would get two pieces of jade in a row.

He really had to thank Gu Qingchen!

In the spirit of gratitude, Old Liu worked more and more carefully, and his polishing techniques became more and more meticulous.

In a short while, a whole piece of purple jade was polished out. It was different from the round shape of the previous piece. This piece of purple jade was oval in shape, and it was especially suitable to be made into the imperial consort bracelet.

Old Liu even weighed it, “Five catties and four taels! Heavens, it’s really big!”

Five catties and four taels?

Everyone’s eyes were wide open. Their eyes were filled with that piece of purple jade. Their hearts were itching. Someone started to ask again.

“Miss, are you selling this purple jade?”

They did not directly bid because they had not yet estimated the value of this purple jade.

But there was one thing that was beyond doubt. This piece of purple jade was much more valuable than the high-grade bright sun green ice jade that Gu Qingchen had.

Gu Qingchen smiled and picked up the piece of purple jade. A purple light poured out, overflowing with color and spiritual energy.

It was bright and clear, full of water, like a crystal ball in a witch’s hand. It was dazzling and full of mystery.

“As I said, everything will wait until the competition is over.”

Gu Qingchen had her own reasons for doing so. There were not many onlookers around them. Most of many people who came here to pick raw stones. She was waiting for the news to spread, because the bidding would be more intense then.

After saying that, Gu Qingchen turned to look at Shen Dongyang and asked with a smile, “Do you want to continue?”

Shen Dongyang’s dark purple face no longer showed a trace of a smile. It was a stark contrast to his earlier self.

Gritting his teeth, Shen Dongyang looked at Gu Qingchen’s not-so-good raw stone and raised his voice by eight degrees, “Continue! Why don’t you continue? I don’t believe that you can be so lucky. With that piece of rubbish raw stone of yours, if it has jade, I, Shen Dongyang, will rip off my head and kick it for you like a ball!”

Gu Qingchen had produced a good quality raw stone of purple jade to begin with, so when it produced green, his heart sank, and his face turned sour. However, he still firmly believed that he would definitely win this competition.

This was because that piece of raw stone of inferior quality would definitely not be able to win against him.

Gu Qingchen nodded indifferently and then looked at Old Liu. “Then let’s begin. Continue so that he can give up.”

There was still one last piece of raw stone left, and it seemed to have reached its climax.
