Chapter 145 Betting

Du Ruo looked at the box of things and listened to the boss' words.

"Don't worry, bosses. I have inspected all the items. They are absolutely authentic. If there is a fake, you will kick my head like a ball."

Du Ruo couldn't help laughing. What her boss Yuan said was right. Her mother not only lost her wife but also her army. She traveled thousands of miles to be cheated by Mr. and Mrs. Chen. She lost a piece of top-quality Wufucai jadeite in vain and got a box of counterfeits in return. Ms. Bai Minhua, you should really cry this time.

Ji Bolin is his biological son after all. He looked at the box of things with a complicated expression, which was hard to describe.

He really hadn't expected this, and he didn't look closely when his mother was showing off to him. In his opinion, even if there was no love between them, as long as the father and daughter were very close, they couldn't do such a thing. The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things.

Ling Yun didn't know the details. He reached out and picked up a bronze hu, looked at it for a few minutes, and said, "It's really good, Ruoruo, let's buy it."

Du Ruo was a little confused. Once she saw the box of things, she knew who sold it. It must be her cheap uncle Chen Guochang. She really didn't want to pay for it.

But such a box of stuff is really worth a fortune, and this price is really a bargain.

Seeing that Du Ruo was still entangled, Ling Yun didn't understand.

"Ruoruo, what are you thinking? If you don't take advantage of a good opportunity, you'd be a bastard. You don't usually get such a good opportunity."

He whispered in Du Ruo's ear: "At this price, in another ten years, you may not be able to buy even one of the items in this box. Think about your antique jade city? What are you thinking about?"

Seeing that Du Ruo still didn't say anything, he thought she was a little worried about where she came from.

"It's okay. If they dare to sell, we can buy it too. If it doesn't work, just put it under my name. What are you afraid of?"

If Du Ruo really couldn't tell him, at least not now, that her grandfather had taken a box of counterfeit goods and framed her mother? How could she say this?

Ji Bailin gritted his teeth and said, "I won't buy it. I won't pay a penny."

He thought the same as Du Ruo. He felt extremely conflicted when he thought that Chen Guochang was holding the money.

The boss looked at Ji Bailin in confusion. Why was he looking at the box with hatred? Was there something wrong with the things in the box?

I have tested it myself, and it is fine.

Thinking of the commission that Chen Guochang had promised him, the boss continued to push forward.

"This thing is hard to come by. A friend of mine sold it because he needed the money urgently. If it happened at a different time, you wouldn't be able to get it even if you beg for it."

"We want the things and can cash the check now." Du Ruo made up her mind and didn't think about anything else. The things were really good. With Chen Guochang's skills and vision, not a single one of them was ordinary. Ling Yun was right. If you don't take advantage of a good opportunity, you're a bastard.

"Okay, this boss is very efficient. She is just as capable as any man."

Listening to the boss's flattery, Du Ruo smiled. She was very happy. In two days, her mother would cry.

Ji Bailin had a sullen face, as if someone owed him money. When he saw Du Ruo finished handing over the work to the boss, he turned around and walked out. This place was really noisy.

What the hell is this?

Several people walked forward. According to what Ji Bailin said, the gambling place was still inside.

Ji Bailin had a gloomy face and didn't say a word all the way.

Ling Yun couldn't help teasing him: "Xiao Linzi, what happened to you? Did you let someone boil you in boiling water?"

He was just joking, but Ji Bailin's face turned even gloomier.

Du Ruo reached out and took Ling Yun, whispering in his ear: "Ignore him, I'll talk to you when we get home."

Ling Yun's eyes lit up. Did he hear some gossip? That's good news.

After turning a few more corners, they could faintly hear a burst of noise, which sounded quite lively.

When I got closer, I saw a very empty hall that stretched as far as the eye could see. It was filled with stones and people were gathered in groups of three or five, looking around.

Different from the usual white stones, the raw stones here are all blue and white with python patterns, and many of them are green.

Some of the raw stones had windows cut into them, and someone was sprinkling water on them and shining a flashlight to look at them.

There were some large pieces of rough stones that performed well, and there were many people gathered around them, talking about them.

Du Ruo and a few others looked over slowly. The stalls were clearly marked with the mine and place of origin of the raw stones, making it clear at a glance.

You should know that the origin of jadeite raw stone is very particular. The better the origin, the higher the probability of producing green jade, the more reliable it is, and it is very popular.

Of course, gambling on stones is sometimes a matter of luck, while others specifically look for unpopular items at low prices, giving it a heart-pounding spin.

Ji Bailin's face regained some of its natural look and he called out to Du Ruo and Ling Yun to move forward. The noise came from a hall in front.

When a few people walked to the door of the hall, they saw a high platform on top. There was a large group of people crowded below the platform. They all held bamboo sticks in their hands, shouted numbers loudly, and had very enthusiastic expressions on their faces.

Du Ruo looked at him in confusion, and Ji Bailin explained, "This is all for betting. Do you see the auction table over there? It's a small auction, held at 8pm, and the number plates are sold here in advance.

You place your bet on the rough stone you like, and buyers participating in the auction will be required to cut the stone on site. If you bet on a rough stone that turns green, you are the winner. "

So that's how it is. Ling Yun is ready to give it a try.

Several people walked over to the rough stones that were to be auctioned. Ling Yun couldn't wait to start checking them out. He didn't bring any tools, so he ran to the side, found a young man, reached out and took out a wad of money, stuffed it into the man's arms, and snatched the man's tools.

Du Ruo looked on speechlessly, Ling Xiaosan's family had never been trustworthy, how could they force a sale like that?

However, something even more speechless happened a moment later.

The young man who was forced to buy the property called a few friends over and patted Ling Yun on the shoulder.

"Hey man, what you did is wrong. How can you force me to buy something like this? I'm not selling this thing. I'm eager to use it."

Without saying a word, Ling Yun took out another wad of banknotes from his pocket and threw it into the young man's arms.

The young man was stunned for a moment after being hit. He opened his mouth to say something, but Ling Yun reached out and took out another stack and threw it into his arms, with an arrogant look in his eyes.

The young man held the banknotes, moved his lips without saying anything, and glanced at his friends next to him. His friends also rubbed their noses and said, "Okay, who has more money?"

A few people came over angrily and left in disgrace.

Ji Bailin looked on speechlessly.

"Brother Ling, maybe you gambled for a long time and couldn't even earn back a fraction of the money you put in? What's the point?"

"Just for fun."
