Chapter 76: Shen Dongyang, You’ve Lost
“Imperial green!”
The moment Old Liu shouted, it immediately caused an uproar. Everyone subconsciously took a few steps forward, tightly surrounding Gu Qingchen.
Imperial green.
This was not just a title, but an overlord-like existence among jades.
However, the exact price depended on the type.!!
If one was really lucky and it was a glass species imperial green, then it would bring a huge fortune to his owner.
Even if it was a different type of imperial green, it would still be worth a lot.
“Quick, quick, quick, let’s see what kind of jade it is. Old Liu, your hand is shaking so badly, can you continue to polish it? Do you want to change people?”
The people beside him wanted to see what was going on, so they kept urging Old Liu to continue. However, when they saw Old Liu’s trembling hand, they were worried that he had no enough strength.
Old Liu stood up and stretched a few times. He drank a mouthful of water and wiped his sweat before sitting down again. He looked at Gu Qingchen and said, “I can continue.”
Gu Qingchen nodded. She did not ask Old Liu to back out because of his trembling hands.
Gu Qingchen knew that to the people who were cutting the stone, it was their dream to be able to cut open an imperial green jade with their own hands.
Because of Gu Qingchen’s trust, Old Liu was even more confident. His hands stopped trembling after a while.
“Brother Dong, don’t worry. Just now, they cut out a window with an oil green jade in her raw stone. In the end, there was nothing. It was just an illusion.”
The lackey comforted Shen Dongyang, but Shen Dongyang could not listen to anything at the moment. Anyway, he was focused on looking at the raw stone in Old Liu’s hands, silently praying in his heart.
Fake, fake, fake, it had to be fake!
Everyone was extremely nervous as they watched Old Liu grind out the jade bit by bit.
“It’s the waxy imperial green!”
Finally, they could see what kind of jade it was. Although it wasn’t a top-grade existence like glass species, the waxy imperial green was already stunning enough.
The waxy imperial green was made of a silk-like material with a fine texture that shone through the light. The green silk was suspended in the jade.
The polished surface of the waxy imperial green did not have the crystal-like refraction of later generation jades. It was priceless.
When Old Liu had finished cutting it, the waxy imperial green, which was half a meter long and twenty centimeters thick, was so dazzling that it blinded everyone’s eyes.
This piece of waxy imperial green was the largest and the best of the few jades.
Who would have thought that such an exquisite jade could be found in such a poor raw stone?
Compared to Gu Qingchen’s waxy jade, Shen Dongyang’s piece of ice jade had completely lost.
Gu Qingchen looked at Shen Dongyang, who was in a daze and sweating profusely. The veins on his head were bulging, as if he had been overstimulated.
In just a short while, he went from heaven to hell, and returned from hell to heaven. Now, he finally fell back to hell.
This time, it was the eighteenth level of hell.
For a moment, he was disheartened and dispirited.
“This… how could it be? It’s fake, it must be fake. It can’t be, it can’t be like this!
“How could such a lousy raw stone have imperial green jade in it? I must be dreaming, this isn’t real.”
Shen Dongyang pinched himself several times. The pain was very clear. It wasn’t a dream, but a fact.
All of this was real. He had lost completely this time. There was no room for return. In fact, he couldn’t find any excuses anymore.
After Gu Qingchen finished admiring the imperial green jade, she looked at Shen Dongyang with a smile, “This time… do you have any other excuses?”
Looking at Gu Qingchen’s smiling face, Shen Dongyang had the urge to vomit blood. He could not speak for a long time, and his face turned red.
Gu Qingchen continued, “Originally, I did not want to provoke you. Who asked you to refuse to admit defeat and find all kinds of excuses? I can only let you do as you wish. But I have to say, your skill in selecting raw stone is really not very good. Out of my three raw stones, you managed to pick out the worst one.”
Pfft!
Everyone burst into laughter. They felt that what Gu Qingchen said was too right.
Initially, Shen Dongyang chose one of Gu Qingchen’s raw stones. He was able to pick out the worst one. It proved that his skill was bad.
However, everyone understood Shen Dongyang’s intentions. He was just trying to win against Gu Qingchen. They did not expect that he would lose so miserably in the end.
Moreover, everyone seemed to have noticed something. The way they looked at Gu Qingchen in doubt.
No wonder Gu Qingchen had been so calm and composed. They thought that Gu Qingchen was too naïve, so she was fearless and not worried at all.
But now that Gu Qingchen said that, it seemed that Gu Qingchen knew that she would win. No matter how hard Shen Dongyang tried, Shen Dongyang would always lose in the end.
She… had been watching Shen Dongyang make a fool of himself.
Sh*t!
No way!
How old was this girl? Did she have such profound thoughts?
And… why was she so confident?
Even people like them who had played with raw stone for half their lives might not be so confident. Was it Gu Qingchen’s luck or was she a genius in this jade business?
For a moment, everyone had endless guesses.
It had to be said that this competition was too intense. As spectators, when they saw such a wonderful competition, their little hearts went up and down as if they were on a roller coaster.
“There’s no need to say anything now. Shen Dongyang, you’ve lost.”
A light sentence had decided the outcome.
Shen Dongyang had lost.
According to the rules of the competition, Gu Qingchen not only had to take away all of Shen Dongyang’s assets, including his jades, but Shen Dongyang also had to kowtow to Gu Qingchen and call her grandfather.
Because before the competition, there was a judge from the association. So, the person from the association gave Shen Dongyang’s check of 600,000 dollars to Gu Qingchen.
Even if Shen Dongyang wanted to stop him, he couldn’t. If he caused trouble, he would be thrown out of the fair and would never be allowed to come here again.
It was equivalent to being blacklisted.
Gu Qingchen took Shen Dongyang’s 600,000 dollars and said to Shen Dongyang with a smile, “You can give me the ice jade now.”
Shen Dongyang did not want to give it to her, but it was snatched away by the organizers and given to Gu Qingchen.
Shen Dongyang looked at his empty hands and broke down!
“You… you did it on purpose!”
No matter how slow Shen Dongyang was, he suddenly realized when he saw Gu Qingchen’s expression.
He had always thought that he was taking advantage of Gu Qingchen. He thought that Gu Qingchen was a newbie and did not know anything. That was why she was competing with Gu Qingchen.
Now it seemed that this was Gu Qingchen’s smokescreen. He thought that she was easy to bully and jumped into the trap.
It was a typical example of someone was being scammed without realizing it.
This Gu Qingchen… was too scary!
