Chapter 396: It’s Green
Seeing Chi Shuyan and the others, Xiao Le quickly told Chi Shuyan that the stones that the little fellow Li Yu had picked were useless because they were cut sc.r.a.ps. The shop’s master cutter had found him cute and helped cut the stones at first, but nine out of ten stones were cut and there was nothing inside.
It just so happened that the master cutter got a little busy at the moment, so he directly told the little guy that it was impossible for there to be jade in the stone and that it was trash. This was too big a blow to Li Yu, the little guy, who couldn’t believe it.
Chi Shuyan looked at the little guy’s pitiful appearance. To be honest, her heart softened at the sight. She brought the little guy over and wiped his tears.
Li Yu still said awkwardly and proudly, “This royal one isn’t crying!”
He said he wasn’t crying, but tears instantly welled up in his red eyes again.
He had promised he would give the woman in front of him lots of jade, but none of the stones he picked had any. The little guy was very depressed.
Chi Shuyan was really afraid that this kid would cry, so she hurriedly rubbed his head and was prepared to let him pick a few more raw stones.
The little guy, who had been holding it in for a long time, finally said, “This royal is a n.o.ble of the heavens; how can I not find jade?”
What jade gems didn’t his family have in the past?
Chi Shuyan was very glad that there were more people in the shop and it was noisier. Otherwise, it would be bad if there were other Celestial Masters here who took an interest in this kid who kept referring to himself as “this royal one.”
Chi Shuyan rubbed the little guy’s head and took him to find a few more stones.
Li Yu gritted his teeth and shook his head. “I’m not going. I still have one here; it’ll definitely have jade! When the time comes, this royal one will have it cut open and give you jade!”
As he spoke, the little guy turned spirited and confident in the blink of an eye. The corner of Xiao Le’s eye twitched fiercely when he heard the little guy’s confident words. For some reason, he had no faith at all.
Chi Shuyan’s eyes swept over everyone, and she did her best not to splash cold water on the little guy. She pinched his face and glanced at the sc.r.a.p that he was holding. The corners of her mouth twitched and she gritted her teeth. “I believe you, but should we pick more? The chances of getting jade will be higher!”
Chi Shuyan made up her mind to cheat for the little guy later; she would pick out a green one, no matter what. Otherwise, she was really afraid that he would cry.
She didn’t expect Li Yu to firmly regain his confidence with the last stone in his hands. “This royal one is a n.o.ble of the heavens. This piece will definitely be green!”
As soon as he finished speaking, it fell silent around them!
For a moment, Chi Shuyan didn’t know what to say.
Lu Yunfeng and Lu Chengfu were a bit worried, and said to Chi Shuyan, “Sister-in-law, what your little kid has is just trash. I think we should hurry and switch it to a good piece. Who knows, it might be green!”
Chi Shuyan saw the little guy holding that sc.r.a.p like it was some kind of treasure. It would be difficult to switch it out without him knowing!
Forget it, it was fine if this little guy really cried. At worst, she would just coddle him the way a mother would.
Chi Shuyan held the little guy’s hand and looked up in front, where there was a sudden commotion.
“It’s jade again! It’s gla.s.s jade! It’s actually gla.s.s jade!”
Soon, people were yelling.
“I’ll pay 2 million!”
“2.5 million!”
“2.8 million!”
In the end, the gla.s.s jade sold for 3 million.
Chi Shuyan took a look at the lucky person. Who would have thought that enemies would meet on a narrow road? It was actually that duo from Longhu Mountain!
