Chapter 1252: Chapter 1252: Prologue to the Finale Part 3
"Madam, are you sure you want this one?" The shop owner was both surprised and delighted to hear that someone wanted a stone that looked so unappealing, and he walked over immediately.
He was surprised because someone actually took a liking to such a raw stone.
He was delighted because he thought that this unsellable and space-occupying ugly stone could finally be sold.
"I’m sure." Li Mumu said without hesitation.
"Madam, you must have noticed that this stone doesn’t look good, and you’re a guest introduced by Little Wuzi, so I’m not going to overcharge you, just consider it a giveaway at a thousand bucks. What do you think?" The shop owner was afraid the distinguished lady would change her mind, and was willing to sell it at a loss.
"Alright."
Li Mumu nodded, just as she was about to pay, the appraiser came over and quickly stopped her, "Madam, how can you buy such a stone!"
"Hey, Old Two, do you know who this lady is, and you dare to scam her!?" The appraiser lowered his voice and scolded the shop owner.
Not to mention that Li Mumu is the young mistress of the Ducal Residence, just being a Royal Family Princess is not someone they can mess with.
The shop owner hurriedly shouted, "Injustice, Little Wu, can I tell this lady is someone of importance? I wouldn’t dare to scam her, she wanted to buy it herself, and I’m not charging high, just a thousand bucks, I’m losing tens here!"
Mind you, the stone cost him a thousand and fifty when he acquired it!
And he’s only selling it for a thousand!
There probably isn’t a more good-hearted businessman under the sky.
After understanding the situation, the appraiser sighed slightly and once again said to Li Mumu, "Madam, this stone really won’t yield anything..."
Li Mumu smiled, "No problem, it’s just bought for fun."
"Do you still want to cut the stone on site?"
"Yes."
Li Mumu nodded.
The appraiser reluctantly had the ugly giant stone moved to the machine for cutting.
Before the giant stone was cut, the appraiser’s previous stone had already yielded something.
"It’s green!"
"And a big piece of green too!"
"Wow, it feels like this person is going to make a fortune!"
"So envious..."
The stone cutting was live-streamed, so everyone present could see it.
Everyone started to express their astonishment.
The appraiser lifted his chin and smiled brightly.
In the end, unsurprisingly, it yielded a rare piece of jade.
"Madam." The appraiser hurriedly presented it to Li Mumu.
"Thanks." Li Mumu glanced at it before putting it away.
Although this piece of jade was very good, if it were anyone else, they would treat it as a treasure, but coming from the Royal Family, she’s seen rare gemstones and jade since childhood, so to her, this was merely decent, nothing too surprising.
The appraiser, who had been somewhat proud earlier, saw her calm expression and knew she didn’t think much of the jade, which left him slightly deflated, but he quickly perked up again, "Madam, I’ll go pick a few more pieces."
"Alright." Li Mumu agreed, but her eyes didn’t follow him; she kept staring at the big screen not far away.
On the screen was the giant stone she had just chosen.
"My goodness, the ugly stone that hadn’t sold for years was bought by someone?"
Because this stone was so ugly, everyone had nicknamed it "Ugly Stone."
"Foolish with too much money, appraisal complete!"
"If this stone yields anything, I’ll live stream eating dung!"
"Hahaha..."
Laughter erupted all around.
