Chapter 19: Three-Colored Jade
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In this era where 10,000 dollars was equivalent to 1,000,000 dollars in the future, a price of 1,000,000 dollars was definitely worth a lot of gold.
“Cut them all. I’m not going to sell them.”
From a certain perspective, this was Gu Qingchen’s first piece of jade. She wanted to personally witness the whole piece of jade being revealed.
Upon hearing Gu Qingchen’s refusal, Ding Hao felt very regretful. Zhou Xiang could only continue to cut open the stone.
Tang Feng, who had been silent all this time, actually spoke up, “Aren’t you afraid that this stone is the same as the previous one. It’s good-looking but useless? If you sell it now, you’ll still be able to get money. If this is another regular stone again, I won’t buy it.”
Gu Qingchen’s gaze finally turned to Tang Feng.
“Did we know each other before?”
Tang Feng was startled, then he curled his lips and shook his head. “Where would I know a student like you?”
“In other words, I have no enmity with you in the past.”
“Hehe, if you were my enemy, do you think you would still be alive?”
It wasn’t that Tang Feng was intentionally scaring the underage girl, but everything he said was basically true. He would usually take revenge on the spot if there was any enmity.
Gu Qingchen raised her eyebrows slightly. “Since we don’t know each other, and we don’t have a grudge, then I didn’t force you to buy the jade. So, Young Master Tang, there’s no need to target a little girl like me, right? Or… Young Master Tang, do you think that bullying a child is the only way to show off your unique charm?”
Although Gu Qingchen’s soul was about the same age as Young Master Tang, she was currently in her younger body. If she wasn’t going to act like a young girl now, when would she get the chance to?
“When did I bully you!”
Tang Feng’s tail seemed to have been stepped on by someone, and his tone unconsciously became much higher.
Gu Qingchen shrugged. “You should ask, when did you not bully me?”
Tang Feng had just bought her jade from a bet. Gu Qingchen had already read it, and the number of times she could do mind-reading was limited. She didn’t intend to waste it on Tang Feng, so she didn’t pay too much attention to him after that.
The two of them were quiet for a long time. Tang Feng smiled brightly, and his jade-like face flashed with a hint of mockery. He put his hand on Gu Qingchen’s shoulder and pressed down half of his body. “Oh? Since you say that I’m bullying you, then if I don’t do anything, won’t I be at a disadvantage?”
Everyone’s attention was focused on the raw stone in Zhou Xiang’s hand, so no one saw the interaction between Gu Qingchen and Tang Feng.
Compared to Young Master Tang’s height, Gu Qingchen was really petite. After all, she had not fully developed yet. Suddenly being pressed down by Tang Feng, Gu Qingchen was pressed into Tang Feng’s arms.
Originally, Tang Feng was just joking to scare Gu Qingchen. But when the beauty was actually in his arms, he surprisingly found that it felt pretty good to press down on such a little girl.
Anyway, the trouble he had caused at Young Master Rong’s place today had disappeared in an instant, and he was also in a good mood.
“Little Chenchen, look, I’m so friendly to you. No one will think that I’m bullying you.”
As Tang Feng spoke, he used his hand to rub the top of Gu Qingchen’s head. Her elegant long hair instantly became messy.
Seeing his own destruction, Tang Feng’s mood became even better. He did not see Gu Qingchen’s dark face at all.
Just as Gu Qingchen was thinking about whether she should use the most effective method to guard against wolves, Zhou Xiang exclaimed again, “This… how is this possible? Two colors, it’s actually a two-colored jade!”
Where it was connected to the green, a touch of light purple was revealed. When Zhou Xiang ground off the raw stone parts at the side, a rich purple burst into his eyes.
Tang Feng was also a little surprised when he saw this. He took a step forward and let go of Gu Qingchen’s arm that was restraining him. He also avoided the disaster.
Otherwise, if Gu Qingchen kicked him, she really did not know if this handsome playboy would have psychological trauma when he was in bed in the future.
Generally speaking, two-colored jades were not rare, but most of them were yellow and green jades. They were known as yellow jades.
It was rare to see jades that had purple and green, especially since the jade was high-grade ice. If it was on the market, the price would definitely be high.
“Hurry, hurry, hurry, Zhou Xiang, don’t dawdle. Hurry up and cut it open. I’m so uncomfortable after watching it. Hurry up and cut them open. Let’s see how big they are!”
Even Gu Qingchen’s heart was racing. She had clearly felt three different kinds of touch. She had thought that there were a few pieces of jade in one piece of raw stone, but she had never expected it to be like this.
Did that mean that there was another color?
Thinking of this, Gu Qingchen felt the blood in her body rush to her heart. She had seen a report on television in her later life that three-colored jade was called “Three colors”, also known as Fu Lu Shou. It had a good meaning; therefore, this kind of jade was very valuable for collection.
Once, a “Three colors” had been auctioned off for hundreds of millions of dollars, and this piece of jade of hers was probably even bigger than the one reported on television.
Although Gu Qingchen had been reborn and had wanted to let her parents live a happy life in this life, she had never thought that she would have hundreds of millions of dollars in assets.
After her rebirth, it was only at this moment that she truly had an epiphany.
That’s right! In this life, she could really use her experience and the ability that she had obtained by accident to live a different world.
A world that belonged to her!
She had never looked forward to the future as much as she did at this moment. Gu Qingchen’s heart was deeply moved.
Tang Feng looked at Gu Qingchen with increasingly strange eyes as if he could not see through Gu Qingchen. His heart was full of doubt.
Was it because Gu Qingchen was too lucky, or was it because he was too blind to see that Gu Qingchen was actually an expert in identifying raw stones?
When Zhou Xiang’s hands trembled, he suppressed his excitement and finished cutting up the whole raw stone, he could hardly sit still.
“Three… It’s three colors, three colors!”
Next to the purple jades were yellow jades, two fist-sized three-colored jades. They were crystal clear and shimmering. This was the advantage of the high-grade ice. This kind of jade was extremely transparent and moist, making people unable to put them down.
Even Gu Qingchen could not help but hold the three-colored jade and look at it again and again. The three-colored jade was very neat. The purple was in the middle, and the two sides were green and yellow. There was a sense of nobility and a hint of mystery, making people unable to help but want to get close to them.
Jade makes people delightful. These words were absolutely true.
“I want this three-colored jade!”
Tang Feng excitedly took a step forward and directly snatched the three-colored jade from Gu Qingchen’s hands. He stared at the jade in his hands with infatuation, as if this jade was a natural work of art.
Tang Feng had a lot of two-colored jade. He had also collected three-colored jade before, but no matter the color or the type, it was not as good as the one Gu Qingchen had.
He was infatuated with jade. He had witnessed the birth of this three-colored jade with his own eyes. How could he miss it?
Gu Qingchen was originally playing around with the jade, but Tang Feng suddenly snatched it away. He even used such a domineering tone, as if he was the owner of the jade.
“Did I say I was going to sell it?”
Gu Qingchen’s cold voice rang out, dousing Tang Feng with a bucket of cold water.
