Wen Nian didn’t even need to turn around to know that this “Number 36” was Wei Xiao. In her previous life, Wei Xiao had also used this number, his auspicious number.
Shen Wei frowned. He really didn’t expect anyone to continue bidding at this price, so he increased the price twice. However, when he saw him increase the price, not only did Wei Xiao continue to increase the price, but others also joined in the bidding.
Just as Shen Wei was about to continue bidding, Wen Nian pulled his arm gently. “Grandpa, let’s give up.”
“Give up?” Shen Wei did not raise his hand. Instead, he looked at Wen Nian in confusion. “You don’t think this piece is good? What do you think?”
Wen Nian pursed her lips. She really couldn’t give a reasonable explanation. In the end, she whispered to Shen Wei, “A woman’s intuition, alright? I feel that this stone isn’t worth anything.”
Hearing her explanation, Shen Wei and Shen Jun both laughed. Her face turned red. “I really think so. Trust me.”
Thinking about how Wen Nian had already obtained two good stones easily, Shen Wei knew that some things really relied on luck, so he did not continue competing.
In the end, Wei Xiao was the one who bought this raw stone. However, he had spent five million yuan in his previous life, but he had spent nine million yuan in this life. Wen Nian almost laughed out loud.
When the stone was cut for the first time, it was indeed full of green. Many people present exclaimed, and many people felt that they should have continued to increase the price.
“As expected, it’s a stone that Old Mr. Shen has his eyes on. I should increase the price as well! Aiya, such an exquisite green color!”
“That kid from the Wei family took it? This kid has good taste! If it’s filled with green, it won’t be cheaper than the purple jade just now.”
“Wouldn’t that be worth tens of millions?”
“Why don’t you sell it to me for 15 million? I can pay you now!”
“With this quality, I’m afraid it can be sold for 20 million yuan. Are you trying to take advantage of him?”
Everyone congratulated him. Wei Xiao couldn’t hold back his excitement, but he also knew that he shouldn’t reveal his wealth, so he didn’t ask the staff to make a second cut.
His friend asked anxiously, “Why don’t you continue opening it? If it’s full of green inside, you’ll make a killing!”
However, Wei Xiao shook his head calmly. “No, there are so many people watching now. Don’t reveal your wealth, understand? When the time comes, just tell others that this stone is indeed not good. Otherwise, it will be troublesome in the future.”
Only then did his friend come to a realization and say, “That’s right, that’s right. If we know that your stone makes money, there might be trouble in the future. It’s good not to cut it open.”
Although he tried his best to control his smile, Wei Xiao couldn’t help but smile. He had made the right bet. Indeed, Wen Nian still had feelings for him.
From his position, he could only see Wen Nian’s back view. Thinking of her beautiful face and increasingly perfect figure, Wei Xiao licked his lips. Perhaps there would still be a chance between them in the future.
At this moment, Wen Nian tightened his grip on Shen Jun’s hand. Shen Jun looked down and saw that her expression was a little abnormal.
He thought that Wei Xiao had gotten a good stone and she was unhappy. He quickly comforted her. “He’s just lucky. You’re not a professional either. It’s normal for you to misjudge.”
“Misjudged?” Wen Nian held back her smile as tears welled up in her eyes.
Shen Jun was shocked. He thought that she was really depressed. He quickly patted her head. “It’s okay. You’re not a professional. Take this money as charity for him. Anyway, his casino is gone.”
Wen Nian quickly waved her hand. She didn’t know how to explain it to Shen Jun. She only whispered in his ear, “He’s going to be in big trouble. Very big trouble.”
Seeing her serious expression and that her smile was almost overflowing, Shen Jun squeezed her hand hard again.
Shen Wei thought that Wen Nian had suffered a blow, so he didn’t make a move after that. It wasn’t until the second last stone that he asked softly, “Nian Nian, there are only two stones left. Do you think they are not good?”
Wen Nian looked at the stone. This was the last big scam in the auction. She nodded. “This looks okay. Why don’t we try again?”
Seeing that she finally had a smile on her face, Shen Wei handed the sign to her. “Of course. This time, you’re the one raising the sign. You have the final say..”
