Finally, it was the third brother's turn. He was so impatient that he eagerly handed over the raw stone.
"Grandpa, you have to help me find some good material! I don't have high requirements, just a little bit worse than my second sister's!"
Han Fei glanced at the brat and said, "You call this not demanding?"
"Hehe, Grandpa, this stone of mine is the heaviest. According to Fourth Brother, the heavier the stone, the better the material, and the higher its density!"
"Looks like you've done your research. Move away, don't get splashed."
The third child obediently moved a distance from the machine, and Han Fei began cutting.
"Did you see any green?" The third child rubbed his hands together, looking expectant.
"Is it purple?"
Little Seven, with her sharp eyes, exclaimed, "Third Brother, it's purple! So purple!"
The stone was cut open, revealing its entirety to everyone. It was entirely purple, without a single blemish, an eerie purple that shone red in the sunlight, making it incredibly vibrant.
The third child looked distressed: "Purple isn't worth anything anymore! How can I go out and show it off?"
The sense of disappointment was immense. I thought I was the best among the seven, but now it seems I'm at the bottom!
Bodyguard: "The purple ones are less valuable than the green ones, right?"
Square-faced bodyguard: "Not necessarily. It's actually quite good if there are no other colors."
"Isn't this the most expensive of the seven rough stones?"
"10,000 gold?"
"70,000 Dragon Kingdom coins for just one piece of purple jade?"
"We've lost money! We've lost a huge amount of money!"
"We haven't splashed water yet, so we don't know the true nature of the water. Maybe it will turn out the other way around?"
"It's generally impossible to reverse it, unless it's Imperial Purple!"
"What does 'Imperial Purple' mean? Is there such a thing as this shade of purple?"
"Imperial Purple is the most vibrant purple, with red undertones. It symbolizes a deep, rich red and also represents the arrival of auspicious purple energy from the east. Some jade merchants have hyped it up for its auspicious meanings, and many celebrities also believe in it, so Imperial Purple has become quite popular at auctions in the past two years!"
“My former employer was a top celebrity who once spent 60 million to buy a piece of imperial green jadeite to make a cabochon ring.”
"It seems there's still hope. Maybe his piece is also Imperial Purple?"
"It's hard to say, after all, it's very difficult to achieve the glass-like quality of a jadeite."
With a splash, water was poured onto the jade, washing away the white powder and stone fragments, revealing the full appearance of this purple jade.
Full purple!
Han Fei narrowed his eyes and blocked the third brother's hand when he tried to take away his "cheap goods".
"grandfather?"
"Wait a little longer!"
Han Fei carefully examined the jade, finally chose a spot, and made another cut, cutting a piece that was about the thickness of a bracelet.
The third child sighed, "It seems my stone is really worthless; Grandpa has already sliced it up."
Han Fei picked up two smooth, flat pieces of purple jade, looked up at the sky, and gazed upwards.
Through the purple hue, you can see blue sky and white clouds, with birds flying by, much like looking out through a piece of glass at a dreamy purple world.
"Imperial Purple, Mountain Kid, you've struck gold."
Han Chengshan asked blankly, "Grandpa, isn't mine the bottom-tier item?"
"The bottom-tier item? Ha!" Han Fei raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "A flawless piece of imperial purple is worth at least as much as Xiao Rou's imperial green, which is only a little bit the size of her little finger."
"What! What what?!" Han Chengshan frantically picked at his ear. "Grandpa, what did you say? Did I hear that right?"
"Mine is Imperial Purple, and it's more expensive than Second Sister's? Second Sister's is Imperial Green, the bodyguard said it's worth forty or fifty million. Mine is more expensive than hers? How much is that?"
Han Fei conservatively estimated: "One hundred million."
"I can't breathe! Help! Help—" Han Chengshan's eyes rolled back and he fainted!
The square-faced bodyguard reacted quickly, catching him before he fell to the ground and pinching his philtrum hard!
Han Chengshan woke up in pain and saw a square face gradually looming in front of him.
Han Chengshan yelled and shoved him away, saying, "I almost got defiled!"
Square-faced bodyguard: "I wanted to give you CPR, to save you!"
Han Chengshan looked at his brothers and sisters who were chuckling and his grandfather who had a smirk on his face, and howled like a banshee: "You just stood by and watched him defile me, aren't you even blood relatives?"
Han Chengda suppressed a laugh: "Third brother, he didn't get to kiss her either, did he?"
Han Chengsi smiled and said, "Don't worry, if you don't wake up at the last second, we'll take action."
"Who knows if you're telling the truth or not? You might just be waiting for the next show!"
"Grandpa, I want a new bodyguard! You have to change him! If you don't, I'll kill myself!"
Han Fei touched his nose, feeling that his behavior of just watching the show was indeed not what a good grandfather should do.
The square-faced bodyguard, his eyebrows drooping into a V-shape, said, "Master, I was just trying to save him. We're all men, what's the big deal? I didn't expect the Third Young Master to be so averse to this."
Han Fei waved his hand: "No need to say more, you will follow me from now on, and I will arrange another job for him."
"Grandpa, I want a sister! A bodyguard sister! You know what I mean!" Han Chengshan winked.
"Didn't you become a misogynist because of that girl who gave you the love letter last time?"
Han Chengshan said in a serious tone: "I dislike girls my age, excluding my older and younger sisters, and also my bodyguard sister!"
Han Fei sneered: "I'll find you a bodyguard auntie."
Han Chengshan was on the verge of tears, but still wanted to argue a little longer. Then something was stuffed into his arms, something icy cold.
He looked down, his eyes rolled back, and he almost fainted again. He quickly hugged the things in his arms tightly, afraid that they might be bumped or knocked over by accident!
That's a hundred million!
How terrifying!
For Han Chengshan, having ever held a hundred million in his arms in his entire life was like a dream come true!
"Xiao Si, don't just stand there, I'll open the stone for you." Han Fei beckoned to Han Chengsi.
Han Chengsi responded loudly, "Okay! Then I'll trouble you, Grandpa!"
"Fourth Brother, are you nervous?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.
Han Chengsi smiled and said, "I'm not nervous at all."
"Why? Aren't you afraid of driving an empty car?"
"Will it be empty?" Han Chengsi asked in return.
"Gambling on stones, with the word 'gambling' added, means it's an act of betting big with small stakes, which is extremely risky. One wrong move and you could lose everything."
"That's someone else gambling on stones, what does it have to do with our Xiao Liu?"
"Huh? What...does that mean?"
Han Chengsi lowered his voice: "Xiao Wu, haven't you figured it out yet? As long as Xiao Liu chooses a stone, it can't be an empty stone. It definitely contains jadeite. The difference lies in the quality of the jadeite."
Xiao Wu pondered it carefully, then stared wide-eyed in shock, his pupils filled with disbelief.
"Fourth Brother, you mean, Sixth Brother has a golden finger? No, a jade finger that can turn stones into jade?"
