Bai Xiao suddenly turned and dashed towards a rock beside her.
"How much is this rock?"
Good heavens, my lady, what are you trying to do?
Baldy and Shao Ming both rushed up.
Baldy did have a soft spot for Bai Xiao. He felt she was lucky, and it was her who had brought him the first rock that increased in value by over a hundred thousand. Despite his confident talk, he had actually lost quite a bit of money here, and rarely made a profit! Opportunities like today’s, where two hundred could turn into thousands, were rare! It would be enough to boast for a while.
Shao Ming just didn’t want Bai Xiao to waste her money on a worthless piece.
The staff member looked it over, "Are you sure about this one?"
Baldy examined the raw stone and noticed several dark patches of ringworm on the surface. Pressing on them with his nail, they gave in — soft ringworm! Soft ringworm only affects the surface and doesn’t penetrate the stone; removing the ringworm often uncovers high-quality green jade underneath, making millions in profit wouldn’t be strange! He dampened the stone and shone a spotlight on it, his heart skipped a beat — beneath the soft ringworm was hard ringworm! If cut open, the ringworm would absorb the green, leaving only black and green wastage! The seller was devious, luring with soft ringworm and the promise of huge profits, making you act feverishly and risk everything!
"No, this one won’t do!"
If even a half-expert like him could tell, then so could the others here. The staff member must have overheard their conversation earlier; otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked such a question. Likely out of concern for her money.
"How much for this piece?" Bai Xiao persisted, still fixing her gaze on the staff member.
The man glanced at Bai Xiao, pity in his eyes. He was responsible for selling the stones, and many people had looked at this stone before, but they all walked away. Those in the know would surely see the problems.
It was only good for tricking novices. But why did this pretty young girl insist on gambling on stones?
You don’t understand anything, you’re just a naive fool about to hand over your money.
"What’s the matter? Don’t you want to sell it when someone wants to buy?" A charming voice interjected.
Bai Xiao immediately turned around.
The show was finally ready to begin.
Bai Mei stood there alluringly, leaning on a man with a fierce face covered with horizontal scars, standing right behind her. Their eyes met, and Bai Mei smiled innocently, but her eyes were laced with venom, wishing Bai Xiao would drop dead on the spot.
"Yo, Bai Mei, we meet at last!" Bai Xiao chuckled.
It had come to her without any effort.
Finally, Bai Mei showed up, making Bai Xiao’s trip worthwhile.
"Indeed! We finally meet! I didn’t expect you to have such a strong will to live, managing to escape!" Bai Mei hadn’t ordered Bai Xiao’s release! Those men would never have let Bai Xiao go! The only explanation was that Pizi and his men had botched it, Bai Xiao had fled, and even found her way here. It’s like not taking the road to heaven but barging into hell instead. In Myanmar, you have no choice but death.
Bai Mei was filled with hatred for Bai Xiao. If it weren’t for Bai Xiao, how could she have ended up like this, when she could have been living a good life, married to a decent man? Instead, now she was living a miserable life not fit for a human or ghost.
Wasn’t it all because of Bai Xiao? If Bai Xiao had married Fang Xiaoshan back then, how could Bai Mei have gotten involved?
Bai Xiao was the root of all her problems. She wanted Bai Xiao to be in a state where she couldn’t live or die.
Since Bai Xiao willingly came here, Bai Mei couldn’t be blamed. After all, this was Myanmar! There were plenty of locals here who liked pretty women. Imagining Bai Xiao being ravaged by the dark, burly Myanmar men in their dens, Bai Mei smiled.
