"Hey, big brother, what are these big machines that the uncles are moving?" the little dumpling asked in a clear voice, her big, bewildered eyes wide open.
“It’s the machine that cuts the stone you just bought,” Su Yiqing explained softly. “Everyone’s stones that they just bought will be cut out by this big machine to determine their quality.”
The clever little dumpling immediately raised its little paws and jumped up, "Can I cut the soft, ugly big rock first? I want to see if the heart of the ugly big rock is as ugly as the outside!"
Most people present couldn't help but smile like doting aunts because of her sweet, childlike voice.
Sitting across the aisle from the little dumpling and the others, little Yan Yan also raised her little hand, "Yan Yan also wants to see if the soft big rock is ugly inside, please cut the soft big rock first, please..."
Looking at her youngest daughter's adorable clumsiness, Yan Yan's mother couldn't help but cover her face. She wanted to raise a noble little princess, but alas...
Alas! Fate is cruel!
After the host asked for everyone's opinion, no one argued with the two small groups about who should go first.
So naturally, they started by opening the small, soft stones.
Originally, everyone was just watching this jade gambling event with a sense of excitement. After all, who would have high expectations when a four-year-old child bought a stone based on its size?
But……
As soon as the shell of the large rock was cut open a little, everyone held their breath. The emerald green color was—the finest imperial green!
If such a large piece of jade were all this color, the raw stone alone would be priceless. And if it were polished into jewelry, the profit would be...
The little dumpling spun around happily, wiggled its little bottom, grabbed Su Yiqing's big hand, and jumped up and down with joy. "Big brother, look! The ugly big rock that Ruanruan bought is so pretty inside!"
Su Yiqing originally only wanted to spend some money to make the little dumpling happy.
Who knew that the little dumpling's random purchase of the biggest rock would lead to such a pleasant surprise?
His eyes and brows were full of tender and doting smiles as he reached out and pinched the little dumpling's soft little face. "Yes, Stone is so pretty. Our little softie has the best taste, the best ever!"
As more and more of the stone shell was peeled away, revealing large patches of the finest imperial green color inside, Rosen, who was sitting behind them, almost crushed the armrests of his chair.
If he could acquire such a large piece of top-grade imperial green jade, it would not only help the mine overcome its current difficulties, but it might even give him the confidence to compete with the Su family.
But now...
How did that little idiot from the Su family manage to snag such a bargain?
He squinted slightly at the back of Su Yiqing's head. Since the guy surnamed Su dared to cause trouble on their turf and even stole his imperial green jade, then he shouldn't blame him for being impolite.
As time went by, the little dumpling's stone was completely cut open, revealing a whole piece of top-quality imperial green jade.
Amidst the exclamations of admiration and envy from the crowd, the little boy sadly cupped his face in his hands and asked, "Big brother, how are we going to get this huge rock back?"
Su Yiqing hadn't had a chance to answer the little dumpling yet.
Yan Yan, who was sitting across the aisle from them, rushed over like a cannonball and hugged Xiao Ruan Ruan. Then, she made Xiao Ruan Ruan jump around with her!
"Mommy, you bought a beautiful stone! My mommy said this stone can be sold for lots and lots of money. If you sell this stone, you'll have money to support me!"
The little dumpling's bright eyes lit up, and she said in her childish voice, "That makes sense! I have lots and lots of money! So, did Mommy Yan Yan agree to let Yan Yan be my daughter?"
Mentioning this, Yan Yan instantly turned into a sulky little pufferfish, shouting loudly and fiercely, "My mommy is so prejudiced! She said that Ruan Ruan wouldn't want a naughty and clumsy baby like me!"
"Ruanruan, go tell Lao Li right now that she'll never have a chance to beat me again. My good little baby is already your daughter, she's lost me!"
As Yan Yan spoke, she tried to drag Xiao Ruan Ruan towards her mother.
Su Xixi slapped her forehead and covered her eyes. This little brat actually knows how to look down on people.
This person clearly had an incomplete childhood and didn't get beaten up enough.
Little Ruanruan puffed out her little belly and nodded solemnly, "Okay, let's go!"
The originally serious and tense atmosphere instantly turned into a harmonious one, filled with laughter, thanks to the innocent words of the two little ones.
Although Yan Yan's mother remained seated, her fists were already hardened.
If it weren't for Yan Yan's father holding her tightly with one hand and offering her tea and water with the other, repeatedly urging her, "Wife, calm down, calm down, Yan Yan is still your own daughter..."
But before Yan Yan's father could finish his persuasion, he received a murderous glare from Yan Yan's mother. "What? She's not your biological daughter, or do you have another biological child?"
Yan Yan's father never expected that his attempt to help his daughter and appease his wife would backfire so badly, and he ended up digging his own grave.
But for someone who's seen it all, he immediately raised three fingers and solemnly swore, "Wife, I swear to God, how could I possibly betray you? And what about our other children?"
Just then, Yan Yan, who had just brought her little Ruan Ruan over to negotiate with her mother, overheard this.
The little guy nodded seriously and said, "Old Li, my dad doesn't have any other little darlings outside. I can vouch for that. The one he keeps outside is a 'welfare spirit'!"
