353 Red Jade
“Oh? Is that so?”
Elder Xu did not even look at Fu Yong. His gaze was fixed on Qin Xi. “Young girl, what do you think?”
Qin Xi tilted her head and deliberately avoided looking at Fu Yong’s fierce and threatening gaze. She said briskly, “Of course I want to continue cutting it. I’m not stupid. There is such a beautiful jade inside. Why should I sell it back?”
When Fu Yong heard this, he was so angry that his eyes were spitting fire and his teeth were gritted.
However, no matter how he glared at Qin Xi, Qin Xi was not moved. Fu Yong wished he could pounce on her and tear her apart.
Gu Qing took a step forward again, blocking Fu Yong’s gaze. He looked at Fu Yong coldly with a warning look in his eyes.
Elder Xu nodded and said with a solemn expression, “Very good. Since this young lady doesn’t intend to return the stone, continue to cut it. I also want to see what kind of jade is inside.”
The three stonecutters subconsciously looked at Fu Yong, waiting for his order. Fu Yong was so angry that he clenched his fists and growled, “Why are you all looking at me? Didn’t you hear what Elder Xu said? Hurry up and cut it!”
The stone-cutting machine resumed operation. Everyone stood on their tiptoes, eager to catch a glimpse of what was inside. Everyone’s hearts seemed to be in their throats, and they were so nervous that their breathing slowed down.
Finally, under everyone’s eyes, the surface of the stone was slowly peeled open, revealing the tip. Everyone subconsciously held their breaths and stared at the flawless red jade.
“Oh my god, is that red jade? It’s so beautiful. I’ve lived for so long but I’ve never seen such a beautiful jade. It’s too beautiful. It’s simply unbelievably beautiful. Could this be the legendary top-grade red jade?”
“It’s too beautiful. I’ve never seen such a pure red jade. It’s simply astonishing.”
People in the crowd shouted in surprise, their voices filled with envy and jealousy.
When Fu Yong saw the red jade, his legs went weak and he almost couldn’t stand up. Fortunately, someone helped him up. Otherwise, he would be in an extremely sorry state.
However, no one was paying attention to him anymore. They were all bidding for the red jade at the top of their lungs.
“I’ll offer 500,000 yuan. Are you selling it or not?”
“500,000 yuan? Brother, you’re dreaming. An ordinary sized red jade is already worth a million yuan.”
“I offer 2 million…”
“3 million, sell it to me for 3 million!”
“Chairman, should we bid?” The assistant in the back row couldn’t stand still anymore and asked anxiously.
“There’s no hurry yet.”
The middle-aged man’s eyes were also fixed on the pure red jade, and his heart was pounding.
When Qin Xi heard the shouts, she immediately made a shush gesture. The surrounding people immediately shut their mouths.
“Everyone, there’s no hurry. I want to see how many beautiful jades there are inside. When it’s completely opened, you can start bidding. Don’t worry, I’ll sell it.”
Qin Xi waved her hand with a smile. “Alright, continue.”
