Before Qi Hao could run away, Chi Shuyan pressed down on his shoulder and ignored his words. “Let’s go; we’ll talk next time!”
At that moment, a supreme-grade imperial jade and a supreme-grade bloodstone were too eye-catching. The shopkeeper wouldn’t be happy if they hung around.
Sure enough!
As soon as Qi Hao finished speaking, the boss stared at them warily, so Qi Hao could only give up!
Before he left, however, there was a minor incident. Qi Hao had recommended a raw stone to a newcomer earlier. Seeing the brother bring three pieces over to the master cutter to open them, Qi Hao recognized at a glance that the largest piece was the one he had promoted wholeheartedly.
He didn’t expect the brother to really trust him and choose this big stone that Qi Hao had guaranteed would show green.
At the thought that none of the dozens of raw stones he had just bought contained jade, Qi Hao naturally didn’t think that this big stone would produce any green. He had even called himself an expert in front of this newcomer. Thinking this, he felt guilty. Afraid that this person would beat him up later, he hurriedly said to Chi Shuyan, “Sister-in-law, let’s… let’s hurry up and leave! If we’re not quick enough, what if someone snatches our treasure later?”
Lu Chengfu, Yu Jinzhou, and Lu Yunfeng also firmly expressed that they should hurry up and leave.
Chi Shuyan’s eyes fell on the man’s forehead, which was glowing brightly, and she suddenly curled her lip. “No rush! Haozi, don’t you want to know if the raw stone you recommended has jade in it?”
Qi Hao shook his head guiltily. “No, no!”
Lu Yunfeng, Lu Chengfu, Yu Jinzhou, Wang Xuewen, and the others: …
Qi Hao was just about to shake his head and run away, when the sharp-eyed brother, who was about to open the stone, saw Qi Hao, and ran over excitedly. “Brother, it’s you! By the way, I heard that you guys were the ones who kept opening jade just now. You even found superior-grade imperial jade and bloodstone. That’s awesome! It’s a good thing I trusted you. I held on to the raw stone you recommended just now. I think it’s definitely a winner!”
This brother was called Qian Caibao. His family relied on coal mines to make it big every now and then. Everyone except Chi Shuyan was bemused by Qian Caibao’s trust in Qi Hao as he believed that he would find jade.
This was the first time in Qi Hao’s life that he understood what embarrassment meant, especially when Lu Yunfeng, Lu Chengfu, Wang Xuewen, and the others stared at him. His face flushed red, and he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself in it.
They hadn’t quite understood Sister-in-law’s words earlier, but now they did.
Could it be that Qi Hao, this kid, who didn’t know much about stone gambling, still had the courage to recommend raw stones to others? Where did this kid get his confidence from?
Xiao Le couldn’t help but secretly add fuel to the fire. He whispered to the others in disbelief, “If I’m not mistaken, Haozi chose more than a dozen pieces of raw stones, but none of them produced jade, right?”
How dare he promote stones with this sort of rotten luck?
Lu Chengfu looked at Qian Caibao’s trusting expression, and lowered his voice. “Xiao Le, lower your voice. I’m afraid that Haozi will be beaten up!”
Wang Xuewen: “He’ll be beaten up sooner or later. I think this kid can’t escape a beating today, but this idiot actually believed Qi Hao.”
Yu Jinzhou and Lu Yunfeng looked at Chi Shuyan in dismay. “Sister-in-law! How about we hurry and take Haozi away?”
Li Yu and the young attendant looked at everyone blankly, completely not understanding what was going on.
At that moment, the master cutter asked Qian Caibao which stone he should open first.
Qian Caibao said without thinking, “Cut the biggest stone! This was recommended by my brother, who has divine foresight. It’ll definitely be green!” After saying that, he immediately patted his chest and said to Qi Hao, “Brother, when it’s green later, I’ll give you a few bangles!”
