Although Lin Wanwan trusted Lu Zhanbei, seeing that there was only such a small piece of stone left, she inevitably felt a little perturbed .
Sensing her conflicted gaze, Tang Chen looked towards her . He said in a carefree yet elegant tone, “Worried?”
Lin Wanwan took a deep breath . “How can I not be worried when I’m being pursued by a god of plague like you?”
Tang Chen let out a low laugh . As everyone watched with looks of either sympathy or gloating, he took his time to change to a slightly thinner stone cutter . He placed the remaining stone on the table and cut off the surface of the stone layer by layer, like slicing an apple .
Following a series of rustling sounds, more and more stone layers fell .
The stone became smaller and smaller . Finally, it was like a watermelon .
Lin Wanwan bit her lip . A trace of nervousness appeared between her eyebrows .
Noticing her expression, Lin Siqing smiled smugly . Her eyes were obviously filled with disdain, but she continued to pretend and said in a gentle tone, “Wanwan, stop putting up a deathbed struggle . From what I see, just admit that you deliberately wanted to add trouble to us . Why yield only when you’re facing your own coffin? You will lose more face that way . ”
Everyone nodded secretly . Lin Wanwan had lost a lot of face this time round . It was a pity that young Tang had to leave with a black mark now too, although he had been clever all his life .
Lin Wanwan turned a deaf ear to everyone else . Tang Chen continued to cut the stone .
Lin Siqing saw that the two of them ignored her and a trace of humiliation rose in her heart . She was about to continue her sarcastic words when…
Cut!
A crisp sound that accompanied Tang Chen’s lazy voice sounded at the same time . “Finally…”
What finally?
Everyone was stunned . They subconsciously looked over and realized that a faint green appeared on that watermelon-sized stone!
“It turned green!” someone exclaimed .
Lin Siqing’s expression changed . “Impossible!”
Everyone swarmed towards him and surrounded him . They looked on as Tang Chen continued to cut off the skin of the stone leisurely .
Following his actions, that small piece of green gradually expanded, and the color gradually changed too .
It changed from green to yellow, and finally, red!
Someone swallowed his saliva, his eyes full of shock .
“It’s the tri-color jadeite of Fu Lu Shou!”
This tri-color jadeite, which was known as Fu Lu Shou in the industry, was extremely rare . Its price was also much more expensive than emerald green imperial jade .
Not knowing how much time had passed, Tang Chen finally finished cutting off the skin . “I’m done!”
He removed the white gloves from his hand and threw them away . He then sized up the tri-color jadeite he’d just skinned away the layers from and realized it was shaped like a mountain . The three colors were distributed evenly too . He nodded in satisfaction .
“Shape has already formed even though it has not undergone carving . It’s quite a big piece too . This should be worth quite a bit . ”
“…” Everyone was in a state of disorder . This was worth a bit?
It was the size of a watermelon and was tri-color . Such high-caliber jadeite might not be seen even in first-class auctions . Its price was immeasurable!
Lin Siqing glanced at this tri-color jadeite and then swept her eyes across everyone’s shocked faces . Her face was ghastly pale!
After a long period of silence, someone spoke up excitedly .
“Lin’s second daughter, I’m willing to fork out 100 million yuan . Can you sell this to me?”
“Old Yun, that’s a bit unkind . 100 million yuan to buy such a big Fu Lu Shou? If Lin’s second daughter is willing to sell this, I’m willing to fork out 150 million yuan!”
“160 million yuan!”
Tri-color jadeite was a good thing . It was rare to see it in the first place . They didn’t expect to see it in such a situation and were all fighting for it excitedly .
