The Indifferent Young Master’s Flash Marriage

The second auction item was a warm jade chess board. Helena stretched out her hand elegantly and started to introduce the value and origin of this chess board in a leisurely tone.

A light source was placed in the middle of the stage and it shone directly onto the warm jade chess board.

Su Wan didn't know how to play chess and did not have interest in chess boards. However, after hearing Helena's description about how this warm jade felt warm when touched, interest arose in her heart.

With Helena's charming voice, the price of the jade chess board kept rising to a number that made one speechless.

Finally, the warm jade chess board was bought at the price of thirty million dollars.

Next, Helena got someone to bring a collectible covered by a red piece of cloth.

The previous collectibles were all directly exposed. When Su Wan saw that the current collectible was so mysterious, she was curious.

She took the auction list from Jiang Xuecheng and found that this was a raw stone.

Su Wan had never been exposed to stone gambling but when she was young, she had once heard from her father that stone gambling was a risky investment. Due to their liking for stone gambling, many businessmen eventually lost everything.

Su Wan casted her eyes onto the stone covered by the red cloth. She wondered if this stone would make the buyer rich or suffer a heavy loss after cutting.

Many who were present had strong interest in stone gambling. Helena did not make everyone wait too long. She took away the red cloth with her delicate hand.

That moment, a plain stone appeared in everyone's eyes.

That stone was coarse with an uneven surface. It had not been cut and only a little bit of skin was worn all around.

Su Wan saw a little green patch and a little violet patch but most parts of the stone was grey.

This time, those who were familiar with stone gambling were inevitably disappointed.

Looking at the green and violet parts of the stone, the color was ordinary and the stone was quite small. Many buyers who wanted to try suppressed their urge.

After all, the investment cost in stone gambling was high and if one was not careful, one would lose everything. Many of the people present were stone gamblers. Having seen negative examples, it was difficult for them to have confidence in this small stone.

The turnover of the Lu's auction had always been relatively high. The stone gamblers didn't want to take the risk because if the stone was not valuable after cutting, they would suffer a great loss.

After Helena announced the starting of bid, the numbers on the screen moved significantly slower than the previous two times and the range of price raise was smaller too.

Su Wan didn't know much about stone gambling and naturally did not know how to judge the quality of a stone.

Su Wan darted a doubtful look at Jiang Xuecheng. "Xuecheng, does everyone not think highly of this stone?"

It had been a while and the price of the raw stone only rose up to 1.7 million dollars.

Jiang Xuecheng caressed Su Wan's hair and explained, "The color on the surface of this stone is ordinary and there are two colors on it. If it's not a spring belt colored jadeite, it would be easy to suffer a loss."

Su Wan nodded, not fully understanding what he said.

Before Jiang Xuecheng's voice died down, Helena smiled and continued to incite people to raise the price.

"You may not think much of this stone but please look carefully. This stone has two colors, green and violet. If it's a spring belt colored jadeite, then its value would be immeasurable!"

Even though Helena said so, everyone's passion had obviously not been raised. The price of the raw stone merely went up to two million dollars and after that, it was difficult for the price to move from.

Su Wan nudged Jiang Xuecheng's arm, "Xuecheng, why don't we buy this stone? Anyway, we have to buy three items. This stone may be the cheapest item tonight and there's a possibility it's a spring belt colored jadeite!"

The price of the two collectibles earlier on raised up to tens of millions of dollars. Su Wan felt the pinch just thinking about it.

Jiang Xuecheng locked his eyes on Su Wan and with his deep voice, answered, "Alright."

As he spoke, he took up the auction machine and pressed a number.

Su Wan saw that the numbers on the screen leapt to five million and frowned immediately, "Why did you bid such a high price?"

The price doubled and Su Wan couldn't understand his brain circuit!

Jiang Xuecheng smiled and leaned against the velvet sofa. With a faint voice said, "By doing so, no one will raise the price further."

Hearing Jiang Xuecheng's answer, Su Wan was speechless. So, this man did what he did because he wanted to save time?

This was not the way to spend even if one was rich!

However, since Jiang Xuecheng announced his price, there was silence everywhere. It was merely a stone that no one look highly upon. Now that the bidding price reached five million dollars, it shocked everyone present.

Even people who were used to stone gambling were laughing secretly at who the novice was, coming here to waste his money.

A calm smile appeared on Helena's face. She asked softly, "1311 is bidding five million dollars. Does anyone wish to raise the bidding price?"

After counting down, the stone had its owner.

According to the unwritten rules of Lu's auction, every raw stone sold out would be cut on the spot. If the stone was of good quality, it could be resold on the spot.

Stone gambling was just like gambling based on luck.

Helena waved, signaling everyone to keep quiet. She bowed towards Room 1311 where Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan were sitting and then pursed her lips.

"Next, we would like to invite the professional stone cutter up the stage. I'd like to first wish Room 1311 all the best. May the stone cutting go smoothly and may they obtain a spring belt colored jadeite!"

Under the thunderous applause, a stone cutter with a head of grey hair walked up to the stage. The staff brought him the most sophisticated cutting tools.

Because this was a stone Su Wan bought, she watched as the stone cutter took up the tool. Uncontrollable expectation and excitement surged in her heart.

Anyway, this was a stone bought with five million dollars. If it wasn't a spring belt colored jadeite, it should at least be a jade, shouldn't it? Su Wan thought secretly and cheered for herself.

Many held their breath but many more were waiting to laugh at the joke.

For a jade of this size, the colors of green and violet weren't nice. After cutting, what good could come of it?

Only the stone cutter was the calmest. He took up a small knife and grinded the surface of the raw stone carefully.

The part he cut was the part where it was violet. After half a minute, the violet part became all grey!

Looking at the scene from the screen, Su Wan was disappointed and the onlookers laughed non-stop.

In the end, would this raw stone that cost five million dollars turn out to be not even a jade?

Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan looking down and knew exactly what this woman was thinking.

Jiang Xuecheng placed his hand gently on Su Wan's shoulders and said warmly, "How much of the stone has been cut? Are you losing hope?"

When Su Wan heard Jiang Xuecheng's magnetic voice, she relaxed but she knew he was merely consoling her.
