356 Blatant Lie
Fu Yong was already filled with regret and resentment. When he heard Qin Xi’s words, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
He looked at Qin Xi angrily and asked through gritted teeth, “Miss Qin, right? I’m not selling these raw stones anymore. You should leave.”
Qin Xi looked at him strangely. “I’ve already bought all of them. What difference does it make whether you want to sell it or not?”
Fu Yong subconsciously looked at the young man who had been pushing the cart and pointed at the raw stones in the cart. His eyes were red as he growled, “Did she pay for all these?”
The young man was frightened to death by Fu Yong’s look, but he still nodded and stammered, “Yes, yes, yes. Just before you came…”
Seeing that he did not understand his hint, Fu Yong asked again fiercely. He stared at the young man, looking like he wanted to skin him alive. “Let me ask you again. Did she pay or not?”
This time, everyone understood what Fu Yong meant. As long as the young man said that Qin Xi did not pay, even if Qin Xi really paid, Fu Yong wouldn’t let her leave with the raw stones.
Everyone present was smart. Hearing Fu Yong’s words, they were certain that he was desperate. If he did not do something to Qin Xi today, he would probably never be able to get over this in his life.
The young man was already scared silly. He subconsciously asked, “Then, then she didn’t pay?”
Everyone was speechless.
Fu Yong was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He was very puzzled as to how such a stupid person was working in Treasure Gathering Hall.
Just as he was thinking this, a cold snort came from behind. Fu Yong’s body immediately trembled and cold sweat dripped down his face.
He was so anxious that he had completely forgotten about Elder Xu. At the thought of how he just threatened his staff to lie, his heart was racing.
He turned around in embarrassment and forced a smile that was uglier than crying. “Elder Xu, don’t worry. I just wanted to confirm if this young lady had paid. Now that I’ve confirmed it, I’ll cut the stone!”
Elder Xu nodded expressionlessly and said calmly, “Boss Fu, it’s better to be honest and not play small tricks.”
“Yes, yes, yes. Elder Xu, you’re right. I, I will definitely remember your reminder!” Fu Yong wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
“Alright, hurry up and cut the stones. I want to see how lucky this girl is!” Elder Xu ignored Fu Yong and said to the stone cutter.
Sizzle ~
The stone-cutting machine began to work again. Everyone’s gaze landed on the raw stones, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Fu Yong’s heart began to beat faster. He prayed in his heart that it was a plain stone. If it also turned out to be a jade, he would probably die.
However, as time passed, the stone-cutting machine slowly cut a crack on the stone surface. A thick layer of lime was cut open, revealing green jade inside.
“It’s a top-grade jade again!”
The stonecutter exclaimed when he saw what was inside. He poured a small bowl of water over it and a touch of green instantly appeared in everyone’s eyes. It was crystal clear and emitted an alluring luster, making people unable to take their eyes off it.
Fu Yong widened his eyes and stared at the jade inside. His face was livid and his breathing was rapid, as if he was about to faint in the next second.
