Chapter 233 -233 Resentful Poison

As the stone cutting master kept cutting and polishing, the true appearance of the jade emerged.

The raw stone was originally the size of a basketball, but now, after being cut, it still had the size of a soccer ball. And what’s more, it was ice jade of the Violet variety, with excellent translucency. Judging by its size, several bracelets could be carved out of it, and the remaining material could be made into quite a few rings and earrings. This raw stone truly appreciated in value.

“Young lady, eight million. I’ll buy this jade for eight million.”

“Eight million? Don’t take advantage of the young lady’s ignorance. Alright, ten million. Young lady, I offer ten million to buy it.”

“Twelve million.”

Although Zhong Niangyao had said she intended to keep the jade for herself earlier, the people around couldn’t help but start calling out bids, as good jade was hard to come by. If the price was right and she was willing to sell, why not try?

Even Liu Yiyi by the side was getting restless. Although she was here for a holiday, securing this piece of jade for her father would surely make him very happy.

Despite her earlier insistence that she was her father’s only daughter, her heart knew the truth, it was only for appearances. Her father had already fathered an illegitimate son and doted on him. If she didn’t find a way to win her father’s favor, she might end up with much less inheritance.

With these thoughts, Liu Yiyi stepped forward, looked at Zhong Niangyao with arrogance in her eyes, and said, “Fifteen million. I bid fifteen million. Let me have the jade! I can guarantee no one will offer a higher price than mine.”

Indeed, after Liu Yiyi made her bid, the others stopped calling out. Fifteen million truly seemed to be the limit for that jade. If the price went any higher, even if someone won the bid, the profit would be slim, making it not worthwhile.

Zhong Niangyao didn’t even glance at Liu Yiyi and turned her head to Lu Yichen, saying, “Alright, let’s go!”

She was holding the newly revealed jade, and had already paid the stone cutting master. Additionally, she had given him an extra tip.

Now the stone cutting master was all smiles, not just because of Zhong Niangyao’s tip. More importantly, he had cut a highly valuable piece of jade. His business was sure to flourish following this.

Those who came here for jade gambling tended to believe in luck; the more valuable jades one could cut, the more customers would come, thinking the cutter had good fortune.

Lu Yichen took the jade from Zhong Niangyao’s hand, and they continued to walk forward side by side.

Seeing that Zhong Niangyao was completely ignoring her and intending to leave, Liu Yiyi was almost frantic. She quickly stepped forward, blocking their way, and said in a harsh tone, “Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear what I said?”

Her aggression was aimed at Zhong Niangyao, but when she looked at Lu Yichen, her demeanor softened into gentleness.

However, Lu Yichen didn’t even give her a glance.

This made Liu Yiyi stamp her foot in anger.

“I think the person with a hearing problem is you!” Zhong Niangyao said with a sneer, “I made it very clear earlier that I have no intention of selling this jade. What are you trying to do now, cling on persistently?”

“You—” Liu Yiyi was choked with anger, “I’m telling you, fifteen million is a very high price already. Don’t be ungrateful. No one else here will offer you such a high price.”

From her perspective, someone like Zhong Nianyao, who came here dreaming of sudden wealth, would never keep the Jade. Now, the only reason she kept saying it wasn’t for sale was simply to drive up the price.

“Let’s just go!”

Zhong Nianyao didn’t even want to respond to Liu Yiyi; she felt that continuing the conversation would just be a waste of breath. Liu Yiyi simply couldn’t understand human language.

Such an attitude made Liu Yiyi furious, “You, stop right there.”

Watching as Zhong Nianyao completely ignored her and continued walking forward, Liu Yiyi took a quick step ahead, raised her hand, and aimed to deliver a slap to Zhong Nianyao’s face.

She had never been humiliated like this in all her life. Today, Zhong Nianyao repeatedly made a fool of her, and she just couldn’t swallow her pride.

However, just before Liu Yiyi’s hand could land, it was intercepted. Someone firmly grasped her wrist with no hint of tenderness or mercy.

Feeling the pain in her wrist, she knew it must be bruised by now. She looked incredulously at Lu Yichen, who had grabbed her wrist, and was too stunned to react.

“Smack—”

A crisp sound rang out, and Liu Yiyi’s head was turned to one side. She could clearly feel a stinging pain on her cheek, which was probably swelling by this point.

“You hit me,” Liu Yiyi glared venomously at Zhong Nianyao who had struck her, “you actually dared to hit me,”

“Yes, I did hit you,” Zhong Nianyao responded with a cold laugh, “Didn’t you just try to hit me as well? How is it that you’re allowed to 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? Let me tell you, slapping you is getting off lightly. If you keep on being so clueless, I’ll hit you again.”

“And just so you know, I’ve never had a rule against hitting women!”

After Zhong Nianyao finished speaking, Lu Yichen promptly let go, causing Liu Yiyi to fall to the ground.

Walking side by side, the two figures appeared particularly harmonious, even subtly hinting at a kind of understated intimacy.

Liu Yiyi, shoved to the ground, watched the retreating figures of Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao, her eyes filled with malevolence. At this moment, she hated not only Zhong Nianyao but had also come to despise Lu Yichen.

She silently vowed to herself that she would make these two pay, especially Zhong Nianyao.

The bystanders who had witnessed the scene didn’t dare to step forward to help Liu Yiyi up.

Liu Yiyi’s arrogant and domineering behavior just now had not gone unnoticed by everyone. Naturally, they weren’t foolish enough to ask for trouble. Moreover, Liu Yiyi’s once-prized identity seemed to hold little sway in this place.

After all, while many people came here in hopes of striking it rich overnight, most of those who came to gamble on stones had status and standing. They didn’t even consider someone like Liu Yiyi worthy of their attention.
