Chapter 162: You Open
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Under everyone’s sized up gazes, Gu Lian still stood upright and even smiled.
Mo Yu, who was beside him, perfectly portrayed the essence of a guilty conscience. From time to time, she would look at Gu Lian nervously and then at Gu Cheng.
Mo Yu’s acting skills had successfully fooled Gu Cheng. He was even more convinced that Gu Lian knew nothing about his plan.
Gu Cheng licked his lips and said to Gu Lian with a smile, “No matter what, I’m still your uncle. I won’t harm you. You don’t know the rules of stone gambling, right? How about this? I’ll buy a stone to open it first and give you a demonstration?”
After saying that, Gu Cheng casually pointed at a stone material. Immediately, a waiter went forward and removed the material. He took out a lamp and shone it back and forth on the stone surface. He found a spot that might have something and placed it on the polishing machine to start opening this material.
Stone gambling was a game of heartbeats. As more and more stone material was revealed, everyone’s hearts were in their throats. In the end, what appeared was a jade face with a faint green color. However, there were some impurities in it. Although it was a complete material, the quality was not good.
Gu Cheng sighed and waved his hand as if he was complaining. “Aiya, I’ve never found anything good with my luck. Xiao Lian, your luck has always been good. Try it.”
Gu Lian did not answer. Instead, he found a chair and sat down.
Although he had recovered quite well during this period of time, he still could not stand for long. Gu Lian had already begun to feel a little pain in his legs after half a day. He was worried that his body, which had finally recovered, would be severely injured again, so he simply found a seat to sit down and rest.
After all, this was still his territory. No one would make things difficult for him.
Seeing that his nephew still had to find a place to sit down, Gu Cheng couldn’t help but mock him in his heart. A grown man couldn’t even stand for a short while. He was simply useless.
However, Gu Lian was still the head of the Gu family after all. Gu Cheng did not dare to say it out loud. He could only wait for Gu Lian to sit down and greet him with a smile. “Xiao Lian, is your leg not feeling well? You have to take care of your body. After all, you just recovered. How about this? Did you see the serial numbers stuck to the stones? Just tell me the number you like.”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Gu Lian, waiting for him to make a decision. Gu Lian frowned slightly, his eyes dark.
Coupled with the dignified aura that he had accumulated over the years, he was simply sitting on a random chair like a dragon chair.
Gu Lian sat there calmly. Everyone was waiting for him to speak so that they could witness President Gu’s luck.
Mo Yu also stood quietly at the side, but she kept thinking about how to comfort Gu Lian when he lost face later and extort something from him at the same time. However, she was caught off guard by Gu Lian’s voice.
“Xiao Yu, go choose the stone you like. I didn’t manage to give you the diamond, so I’ll give you this. No matter how much money it’s worth, I’ll give it to you completely.”
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar.
Some people praised Gu Lian for being generous, while others said that Gu Lian was a coward and wanted Mo Yu to test the waters. However, most of them were sighing at how rich Gu Lian was and how he really doted on his wife.
In this stone gambling game, the price of stones was divided into three levels. Five million, ten million, thirty million. Gu Cheng had just opened a stone with a middle price of ten million.
Although the quality of the jade was not good, the advantage was that he had a lot of materials and a large area. If he processed it and sold it, he could earn about eight million yuan.
If he was willing to spend more money to make some gold inlaid jade or landscape pieces, he would probably be able to recoup his capital.
Since Gu Lian had spoken, he naturally would not let Mo Yu go to the five million yuan area. Moreover, Gu Lian did not even say how many stones he would buy.
If Mo Yu said that she wanted all the stones, it would cost hundreds of millions!
Mo Xue and the others had just gotten rid of the reporters and came to take a look at stone gambling. Mo Xue remembered that when the mysterious person said that she had a spotlight moment, she had gambled on a stone worth five million yuan and obtained a top-grade ice-type imperial jade.
She pulled Bai Feng and rushed over. She finally caught up to the stone gambling event..
