“I was out to attend to some matters and came to see you on the way. I’ll have the doctors remove your plastic cast next Wednesday, you don’t need to go for a check-up. If anyone asks, just say it’s your surgeon’s instruction. Trust me, you’ll be alright.”
Before the surgery, Jiang Yao told Wu Zhong that if anyone asked who did the surgery, he would just say he did not know and that she introduced him to the doctor. She was not afraid that he was going to expose her identity as the Divine Doctor.
“Of course!” Wu Zhong continued, “Chen Zhibin told me to stay with him for the time being, since I still need time to recover. He has a caretaker and an extra room over at his house. I couldn’t refuse and accepted his invitation.”
“That’s awesome!” Jiang Yao felt reassured. After all, Wu Zhong would definitely need people around him with his current condition.
She was glad that both Chen Zhibin and Wu Zhong were on friendly terms.
After settling Wu Zhong’s matters, Jiang Yao left the hospital and headed back to her school.
Since Lu Xingzhi was now in Province C for the selection process, the matter of opening the raw stones she purchased would have to hold off till a later date.
While she was still racking her brain trying to figure out the fastest way to turn those raw stones into cash, she received a phone call from Huang Chengjing later in the evening when she was having dinner with her roommates in the cafeteria.
He was thrilled on the other end of the line.
“Ms. Jiang, you are a prophet!” Huang Chengjing opened with a remark of amazement. Jiang Yao could hear the whirring noises of machines in the background. Apparently, he was still not finished cutting open the stones.
That was all she needed to know. Huang Chengjing had them opened the first thing after he left the trade fair. If she was not mistaken, he should have opened at least half of them by now. Each one of those came out to a value way higher than its purchased price, how could Huang Chengjing stay calm?
The six most valuable stones were bought by her, Jiang Yao thought, while the rest of the good ones were taken by Huang Chengjing. He was already ecstatic after opening a portion of his purchase, how would he feel if he finished opening them all?
“I suppose you are making a lot of money, listening to how ecstatic you are, Mr. Huang?” Even though it sounded like a question, Jiang Yao was very convinced. She added, “You are an experienced and knowledgeable man. Please control your emotions, I am not responsible if you get overly-excited and pass out.”
“Seems like there’s more surprises waiting for me?” Huang Chengjing’s voice trembled in hysteria. “Ms. Jiang, oh, Ms. Jiang! You gave me a massive surprise! Your luck is just unbelievable! You are right, your cat is a blessing indeed!”
He then rebuffed his sentiments. “No, No! Every single one of the stones I opened was of good value. This cannot be just a lucky break? Say, Ms. Jiang, you’re an expert in stone betting, right?”
It was a miracle, created by Jiang Yao!
