Chapter 233: Resentment
As the master continued to cut and wipe, the jadeite's true appearance was revealed.
The rough stone was originally the size of a basketball, but after cutting, it's now the size of a leather ball. Furthermore, it's an icy violet with excellent water content. Judging by its size, it could be made into several bracelets, and the remaining material could be made into several rings and earrings. This rough stone has truly increased in value.
"Little girl, eight million. I will use eight million to buy this jade."
"Eight million, don't bully me because I'm a little girl who doesn't know anything about this. How about this, ten million, little girl, I'll buy it for ten million."
"Twelve million."
Although Zhong Nianyao had said before that she would keep the jadeite for herself, the people around her couldn't help but start bidding. After all, good jadeite is not easy to come by. If the price is right, people will be willing to sell it!
Even Liu Yiyi, who was standing by, was a little tempted. Although she came here for vacation, if she could buy this piece of jade and give it to her father, he would definitely be very happy.
Although she had just firmly stated that she was her father's only daughter, she knew in her heart that was only on the surface. Her father already had an illegitimate child outside, and he loved him very much. If she didn't find a way to win her father's favor, she might get a much smaller share of the inheritance in the future.
Thinking of this, Liu Yiyi took a step forward and looked at Zhong Nianyao with a proud look in her eyes. "Fifteen million. I'll give you fifteen million, and you give me this jade! I guarantee that no one can bid higher than me."
Indeed, after Liu Yiyi made her bid, everyone else stopped bidding. Fifteen million was already the upper limit for this jadeite. If they continued to bid higher, even if they got it, they wouldn't make much profit. It wouldn't be worth it.
Zhong Nianyao didn't even glance at Liu Yiyi. She turned around and said to Lu Yichen, "Okay, let's go!"
She held the jade she had just opened in her hand, having already paid the stone cutter her wages. Furthermore, she gave the stone cutter an extra tip.
The jade cutter was beaming with joy, not only because he had received the tip from Zhong Nianyao, but more importantly, because he had cut such a valuable piece of jade. His business was sure to be booming.
People who come here to gamble on jade tend to believe in these things. If you get more jade, you will attract more customers, because those who gamble on jade will think you are lucky.
Lu Yichen took the jadeite from Zhong Nianyao's hand, and then continued walking forward side by side with Zhong Nianyao.
Seeing that Zhong Nianyao completely ignored her and was about to leave, Liu Yiyi became a little furious. She hurriedly stepped forward and blocked their way, saying in a bad tone, "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I said?"
That was directed at Zhong Nian Yao. When she looked at Lu Yichen, she had a different look of tenderness.
However, Lu Yichen didn't even look at her.
This made Liu Yiyi so angry that she stomped her feet.
"I think you're the one with the problem with your ears!" Zhong Nianyao sneered. "Just now, I made it very clear that I don't intend to sell this jade. What are you doing now? Are you trying to keep pestering me?"
"You—" Liu Yiyi was furious. "I'm telling you, fifteen million is already a very high price. Don't be so ungrateful. No one here would offer such a high price except me."
In her opinion, someone like Zhong Nianyao who came here with the dream of getting rich quickly would never keep the jade. The reason why she kept saying she wouldn't sell it was just to wait for the price to rise.
"Let's go!"
Zhong Nianyao didn't even want to answer Liu Yiyi anymore. She felt that if she continued, it would be a waste of words. This Liu Yiyi didn't understand anything she was saying.
Such an attitude made Liu Yiyi furious, "Stop right there."
Seeing that Zhong Nian Yao completely ignored her and continued walking forward, she took a step forward, raised her hand, and wanted to slap Zhong Nian Yao.
She had never been insulted like this in her life. Today, Zhong Nianyao embarrassed her again and again, and she really couldn't swallow this breath.
However, before Liu Yiyi could raise her hand, it was stopped by someone. The other person held her wrist tightly without a trace of mercy.
Feeling the pain in her wrist, she knew it must be bruised. She looked at Lu Yichen, who was pinching her wrist, in disbelief, and was unable to react for a moment.
“Snap—”
A crisp sound rang out, and Liu Yiyi's head tilted to the side. She could clearly feel a burning pain on her cheek, which was probably swollen now.
"You hit me." Liu Yiyi looked at Zhong Nianyao fiercely, "You dare to hit me."
"That's right, I hit you." Zhong Nianyao sneered, "Didn't you want to hit me just now? Why, you can hit others but others can't hit you? Who do you think you are?"
"You keep provoking me like this, do you think I have no temper at all? I'm telling you, a slap in the face is the least of my worries. If you keep going on like this, I'll hit you again."
"Also, I never have the habit of not hitting women!"
After Zhong Nianyao finished speaking, Lu Yichen just swung his hand and threw Liu Yiyi to the ground.
The two of them walked hand in hand, and their backs looked particularly harmonious, with even a hint of ambiguity.
Liu Yiyi, who was pushed to the ground, looked at the backs of Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao as they left, her eyes filled with resentment. At this moment, she not only hated Zhong Nianyao, but also Lu Yichen.
She secretly swore in her heart that she would teach these two people a lesson, especially Zhong Nian Yao.
The people around saw what happened, but no one dared to step forward to help Liu Yiyi.
They had all seen Liu Yiyi's arrogance and domineering behavior just now, so they naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to go up and ask for trouble. Moreover, Liu Yiyi's proud status didn't seem to have much effect here.
After all, although many people came here hoping to get rich overnight, most of those who came here to gamble on stones were people of high status and position. They even looked down on Liu Yiyi.
