The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 190: Chapter 190 On-Site Stone Opening, Slapping the Gambling Stone King in the Face! Chapter 190: Chapter 190 On-Site Stone Opening, Slapping the Gambling Stone King in the Face! Qingwu chose this piece of unremarkable rough stone.

It was just a piece lying on the ground that Geng Ling hadn’t picked, looking inconspicuous.

Geng Ling let out a sigh of relief and sneered.

“I thought you chose something good, but according to Ms. Shen, this rough stone isn’t impressive either.”

It was all the ones he hadn’t selected earlier.

Qingwu gently wiped the rough stone in her hand, weighing it lightly.

“If you can’t get something good, it’s your trash. If I get something good, it’s my good luck.”

Geng Ling still wanted to rely on the title of Gambling Stone King to bluff and deceive others, but seeing Qingwu’s amateur demeanor, he suddenly concocted a plan.

Before taking the stage, he had studied all the rough stones, ensuring this stone had nothing good inside, and it was unlikely to even yield a Furong Species.

“If Ms. Shen can’t get something from it, she’ll have to apologize to me!”

Qingwu looked up at Geng Ling and disdainfully said, “You call yourself the Gambling Stone King; you didn’t get anything good, yet you expect an amateur like me to apologize to you?”

Chu Yuheng joined in, “What a joke, the Gambling Stone King can’t get anything good and expects Ms. Shen to apologize. Seriously, how old are you? If you can’t handle losing, go home and find your mom.”

Geng Ling’s face twitched slightly, but he was confident that Qingwu’s rough stone was worthless.

“If Ms. Shen has a good piece, I will never gamble on stones again!”

Qingwu shook her head gently, “No, you have to admit you’re a fraud; according to the rules of the Myanmar North quarry, you should leave a hand behind.”

In the past, those impersonating the Gambling Stone King found themselves at such a disadvantage.

Geng Ling shivered, facing Elder Su’s unfriendly gaze.

“Fine! I agree to it!”

Anyway, he was certain the rough stone in the girl’s hand wasn’t something good.

Su Yao chuckled, “Ms. Shen, do you need help?”

Qingwu didn’t even glance at him but instead handed the rough stone to Pei Jue.

“Help me out, I’ll guide you on how to cut it.”

“Happy to serve my fiancée.”

Qingwu was wearing a somewhat form-fitting strapless dress, making it inconvenient to bend over and work on the stone. After passing the stone to Pei Jue, she didn’t miss the delight in his eyes shining like stars.

Just helping out, and he was this delighted?

He sure got happy easily.

Perhaps sensing Pei Jue’s joy, Qingwu’s lips curled slightly too.

Below the stage, Chu Yuheng shivered twice, “I’m still not used to seeing our boss smile.”

Hai Xin quietly leaned in, “This girl Qing and the boy look quite a pair. What’s the boy’s profession? Looks like business, no pretensions, not bad, not bad.”

Pei Jue placed the chosen rough stone by Qingwu on the machine.

“Just cut along this line.”

Pei Jue secured the stone, then unbuttoned his suit and draped it over Qingwu, considerately saying, “There’ll be dust, wait for me at the back.”

Her outfit today was beautiful; it wouldn’t do to get it dusty from the stone cutting.

Qingwu’s face turned slightly red as she stepped back as instructed.

Su Mi and Chu Yuheng both shivered a bit, feeling sour.

“Who knew President Pei would be so good to his sweetheart, but it’s fitting. If I had such a beautiful fiancée, I’d cherish her too.”

Chu Yuheng’s brain paused for a moment.

“Huh? You want a fiancée too?”

Su Mi: “…”

Geng Ling craned his neck to see the stone in Pei Jue’s hand.

The sound of the cutting machine resonated in the venue, and Pei Jue’s hand hardly betrayed that it was his first jade stone cut.

When the wheel stopped spinning, the crowd held their breath.

Su Yao looked disbelievingly at the cut stone surface in Pei Jue’s hands, “This is… this is Glass Species!”

Geng Ling was the most surprised; how could Glass Species be in this batch of rough stones!

Clearly, he had meticulously examined each one; the rough stones most likely to yield top quality had already been opened. How could Qingwu simply pick one that ended up being Glass Species!

The cut surface revealed a dazzling green, clear and bright, without a trace of flaw.

Qingwu sprinkled some clear water on it and said flatly, “It’s okay. It’s Glass Species, not a top-grade one.”

This was already the best stone in this batch; uncovering such a colored Glass was just good luck for the Su Family.

But now, it was Qingwu’s good luck!

She looked at the dumbfounded Su Yao and raised an eyebrow, “Young Master Su, this Glass Species is mine. As for the self-proclaimed Gambling Stone King… do remember our wager!”

Geng Ling fell seated on the ground, his lips turning pale; he couldn’t utter a word.

Glass Species, this clueless girl managed to open a Glass Species, but he opened nothing.

The Su Family certainly wouldn’t let him off!

Su Yao, seeing the hopeless situation with the Gambling Stone King today, waved for people to take Geng Ling away, smiling as he looked at the crowd below.

“Ms. Shen, my apologies. The Su Family was also deceived by Geng Ling. Ms. Shen, your luck is really something; Su holds you in high regard.”

Someone in the crowd raised a sign, “Ms. Shen, is this Glass Species for sale? I really like this color grade! Name your price?”

Qingwu wasn’t short of jade, and this Glass Species seemed not that precious to her.

She turned to look at Pei Jue, meeting his obsidian-like eyes; he wore a well-tailored black shirt, now dusted with plenty of stone-cutting residue.

“Do you like it?”

“The jade my fiancée chooses, I like them all.”

For Pei Jue, the water element of the jade didn’t matter; what mattered was that it was her choice and the first time she actively sought his help.

Did this imply that at least his fiancée was trying, in her own way, to accept him?

“Then, it’s yours. It would make a nice cufflink once cut.”

“Great!”

Qingwu turned to the crowd with a composed look, “Sorry, I’ve gifted this rough stone.”

The signs in the crowd were withdrawn.

Who dared to vie for a piece of jade with Pei Jue?

Spending money wasn’t an issue in President Pei’s eyes, and they wouldn’t dare compete with the Pei Clan’s CEO in spending.

Observing President Pei’s attitude, even if Lady Shen had unearthed a dud stone, he’d treasure it!

Elder Su, smiling warmly, looked at Master Hai Xin, “Since Master Hai Xin is here, why not showcase your skills for us?”

Hai Xin snorted coldly.

“Show my skills here, you say? Tomorrow, I’ll show my skills at the Shen Family’s, come if you want! Little Qing, give us a place!”

“Certainly, if you’re willing to come, the Shen Family is definitely in support.”

If Shen Boyi realized that Hai Xin aimed to cut stones at the Shen Family’s, he’d probably grin from ear to ear.

After all, Hai Xin never failed to produce valuable items with his cuts!

Master Hai Xin intending to cut stones at the Shen Family? This seemed like establishing his presence there.

Inwardly, everyone began to calculate.

It appeared today’s stone gambling event at the Su Family was a farce!

Elder Su’s face turned dreadful, watching Master Hai Xin’s departing silhouette, his heart bleeding.

“Find someone to take him out; he must not showcase himself at the Shen Family’s and embarrass the Su Family tomorrow!”

He glanced at the few Su Family offspring before him.

“Whichever of you first secures a good marriage, the Su Family’s inheritance will be yours, whether with the Pei Family or the Shen Family, it’s up to you.”

Su Wenyin and Su Yao felt a tremor in their hearts, understanding Elder Su’s hint; regardless of the Pei Family or the Shen Family, there was only one daughter!

Leaving the venue, the secretary beside Su Yao sidled up.

“Young Master, Lady Shen is impenetrable, but the Shen Family does have an adopted daughter…”
