Reborn As Super Heiress-Chapter 137 - 134: The Depressed Su Jinyuan

Chapter 137: Chapter 134: The Depressed Su Jinyuan

After some lively bustle, an entire afternoon had passed, and also because of the entanglement and hassle with Ye Zixin, Su Qingqing and the others had lost any mood to enjoy the scenery. The three of them sullenly made their way back to the hotel.

Not long after they had gotten back to the hotel, Su Jinyuan and the two procurement masters also returned, but Su Jinyuan was pursing his lips and wearing a somber expression, as if someone owed him millions.

“Brother Jinyuan, what’s wrong?” Seeing Su Jinyuan’s contorted expression, Huo Sining felt somewhat puzzled and couldn’t help but ask.

“Did you lose big at the gamble? Bro, nine out of ten times in stone gambling ends in losses, and we’ve already had several upward cuts. One loss isn’t a big deal! You don’t know, we even got to watch a great show over at Shunde today! Haha…”

Seeing that Su Jinyuan’s face didn’t look too good, Su Qingqing thought it was because the raw material bought in the morning had been a losing bet and dampened Su Jinyuan’s mood, so she waved her hand carelessly to comfort him, thinking of sharing with him the gratifying incident of Zhou Zhen’s loss that had happened that afternoon.

Unexpectedly, Su Jinyuan with a complex expression took out an object wrapped in newspaper from his bag and handed it to Huo Sining: “The raw stone you bought has been cut.”

...

It had been cut and brought back, which clearly implied its significance.

Su Qingqing and Bai Yishan were stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what that meant: “Ningning’s stone also increased in value?! Haha, that’s really great!”

While saying this, Su Qingqing looked eagerly at the object in Su Jinyuan’s hand that was tightly covered, and asked impatiently, “What kind of jade was cut out? Bro, why be so mysterious, wrapping it in a newspaper? That’s just so funny!”

Su Jinyuan did not respond but just looked up at Huo Sining with a poker face.

Huo Sining felt her heart skip a beat at his gaze, and despite having an early expectation in her heart, to prevent Su Jinyuan from suspecting anything, she had to pretend to be surprised and confused. She slowly reached out to receive the wrapped paper, and then unfolded it bit by bit.

Although she already knew that the object wrapped in the newspaper was very valuable, Huo Sining actually wasn’t clear about what kind of material could be cut from inside that stone, so at the moment of unwrapping, she was very anticipatory.

Without expecting much, she was startled when she saw what was inside; including Huo Sining, the three women were collectively dumbstruck.

Inside the wrapping, a round and transparent jade stone lay conspicuously, not much bigger than an adult’s fist, but radiating a vibrant orange-yellow color, full of bright yellow and orange.

The entire stone was crystal clear without a single flaw, delicate and enticing like grease, yet as warm as sunshine in spring, extraordinarily eye-catching.

Seeing this, Huo Sining felt a tremor in her heart. Even though she was a novice when it came to jade, seeing this jade stone brimming with Spiritual Energy before her eyes, she knew this piece was top-notch.

Jadeite, typically red is referred to as “Fei,” and green is called “Cui,” but actually, what is meant by jadeite is a type of hard jade that comes in various colors. Jadeite has many colors, with the basic ones being green, red, yellow, white, blue, violet, gray, black, and tan.

However, since jadeite is formed due to tectonic movements, amongst all jadeite, it is the soft, delicate, and lovely green that is most prevalent. Therefore, the jadeite that appears on the market is mostly green, with high-quality red Fei and yellow Fei being less common.

It’s not to say that jadeite of other colors isn’t valuable, but it’s because high-quality varieties of other colors are rare, so their prices generally don’t go as high.

Take yellow Fei as an example, low-quality yellow Fei often has a poor texture, appearing greasy and dirty, sometimes with impurities, making it difficult to win the favor of female consumers. Therefore, in the market, uniformly textured green jadeite is always priced higher than yellow.

In fact, with jadeite, it’s not the size that matters but the translucency, texture, and color.

If a piece of jadeite is dry, coarse, and with an off color, even if it weighs a ton, it’s only considered raw building material, worth virtually nothing.

However, once it’s sufficiently translucent, of high texture quality, and the right color, even if it’s only the size of a fingernail, its price skyrockets.

But there are exceptions among other colors too, compared to high ice type green jadeite, pure colors like blue, red, chicken oil yellow, violet, and Little Colorless are all of the finest quality, while mixed colors like Spring with Colors, Fortune, Prosperity and Longevity, are even rarer. If these types of jadeite are more translucent, with a higher texture and color quality than the hibiscus kind, their prices can rival that of Glass Kind Green Fei.

The piece of Yellow Jadeite in Huo Sining’s hand now is pure Chicken Oil Yellow, a jadeite whose texture is crystal clear and transparent, likely surpassing the hibiscus kind.

The entire piece of jadeite is like freshly extracted chicken fat, whether in terms of texture, translucency, or color, it is a top-notch example of Yellow Jadeite.

“Such a beautiful Yellow Jadeite!” There’s not a woman in the world who could resist the temptation of sparkling jadeite, and at the sight of such a large piece of Chicken Oil Yellow, both Su Qingqing and Bai Yishan had their eyes glued to it, and even Huo Sining was slightly stunned, taking a while to come back to her senses.

Although the jadeite in front of them wasn’t large, extracting two or three Yellow Bright Jade bracelets from it would be no problem.

Since high-quality Yellow Jadeite is even rarer than green jade, in this case, this piece of Chicken Oil Yellow would be worth much more than the piece of Hibiscus Kind that Su Jinyuan spent 800,000 to buy.

“This piece of jadeite must be worth several million at least! My God, how come you two are so lucky, one of you cuts High-Ice-Type Red Fei and now Ningning has also cut Chicken Oil Yellow, yet my luck is the worst, it turned out to be a worthless piece of melon green!”

Bai Yishan’s eyes were shining, she was both envious and jealous of the good fortune of Su Qingqing and Huo Sining.

The two Masters He and Liu couldn’t help but laugh at her words. Girl, you bought a block of material for 5,000 and cut out a full green, which you then sold for 200,000. That’s a return on investment of 4,000 percent, and you still complain about your luck? How should someone who’s ruined their cut feel, to just drop dead then and there?

“Brother, our stones have increased in value, what about yours, what did you cut?”

There’s always someone oblivious to the mood, asking the most awkward questions.

Su Qingqing snatched the piece of Chicken Oil Yellow from Huo Sining’s hand, examining it closely, then, suddenly struck by a thought, she looked up curiously at Su Jinyuan.

Both Masters turned to look at Su Jinyuan, their eyes filled with deep sympathy.

Su Jinyuan felt frustrated, his sister’s unintentional jab had hit a sore spot, and his face instantly darkened as he turned and left the room without a word.

The rough stone he had carefully chosen and bought had turned out to be coarse; he had spent more than 100,000 on it!

Damn it, was fate playing a joke on him? After so many years in the jade gambling field, to be outdone by three novices? How could this be?

Raging inside, Su Jinyuan isolated himself in a corner, drawing circles on the ground, mentally declaring that no one should bother him, he needed some alone time!
