Chapter 645 (2/2)

Without speaking more, Chu Yuan walked towards his cart. He ordered the cart pusher to unload the stones, and after observing for two minutes, he picked out three stones.

“I’ll use these three pieces of stone,” said Chu Yuan.

“I have a lot of stones here,” said Tang Xiu with a nod. “Master Huang, you can take three pieces at random.”

Master Huang stared blankly, while Chu Yuan frowned.

Taking three pieces at random? What did he mean by this? Was he looking down on him or was he that confident with all the stones he personally picked?

Chu Yuan saw Master Huang was looking at him with an inquiring look about his consent and immediately nodded to him.

After glancing at the stone pile, Master Huang then picked up three pieces of stone of nearly the same size as those selected by Chu Yuan. Then he turned to Tang Xiu and asked, “Divine Doctor Tang, how about these three pieces?”

“It’s OK!” Said Tang with an indifferent smile.

Chu Yuan’s expression suddenly moved. “Divine Doctor Tang” kept sounding in his mind. He instantly took out his mobile phone to read some information on it. His expression immediately turned more cautious after reading it. He suddenly felt a tinge of regret inwardly because he finally knew the identity of who Tang Xiu really was:

The Young Divine Doctor of Star City Chinese Medical Hospital; the Big Boss behind the Magnificent Tang Corporation; the offspring of the Tang Family from Beijing who had just been found half a year ago, as well as the most outstanding junior of the Tang Family. Being an expert who is proficient in the arts of music, paintings, and an unrivaled genius talent of many ages in the medical world. He has a very low-key disposition and yet had his reputation rise due to many incidents on many occasions…

Tang Xiu himself did not know that Chu Yuan had already found out information about him within this extremely short time. He looked at Master Huang who seemed hesitant and said with a smile, “Master Huang, please cut the stones belonging to Mr. Chu first! This gambling is his idea, and I also want to see his foresight too.”

Master Huang nodded in response.

His stone-cutting technique was remarkable, as the first stone was quickly cut and revealed the jade material inside. After having it polished, he took out a thumb-sized jade material, and at the same time, also took a dozen seed material jades the size of a fingernail.

“Not bad!” Praised Tang Xiu, who stood at the side.

Xue Yu, who stood on the other side, did not seem surprised since she knew that Chu Yuan had the essence knowledge on jades and stones and was unusually good on stone gambling. When Chu Yuan first left the Imperial Garden, the first windfall of wealth he earned was exactly through gambling on stones.

Master Huang put down the jades taken out and continued cutting the second chunk of stone material. Sadly, though a green hue was seen inside the stone after it was cut, it was nothing but bits and pieces of stars, and its total value was not even close to the money spent to buy this stone material.

The third one.

When Master Huang cut the edge of the stone material, a wide and deep green color of jadeite was clearly visible. After he finished cutting it and wiped it clean, a fist-sized jadeite was then thoroughly taken out.

“The total value of this jadeite is at least 50 million yuan.”

Not only was Master Huang well-skilled in cutting stones, but he was also knowledgeable in judging the value of jades and jadeites. He couldn’t help but exclaim after putting it on the tray.

There was a light smile on Chu Yuan’s face after hearing Master Huang’s remark since the result was to his satisfaction. Of the three chunks of stone material he picked up, only the second one was a bit unsatisfactory, whereas the other two were up to the gamble. If they were to be sold, these jade and jadeite extracted from the stone materials would be worth 60 to 70 million yuan.

“Isn’t it Mr. Tang’s turn to have his stones cut, Elder Huang?”

The expression in Master Huang’s eyes was a bit complicated. He looked at Tang Xiu, who looked unperturbed, and inquired, “Should I begin now, Mr. Tang?”

“Go right ahead!” Replied Tang Xiu with a smile.

Master Huang nodded and carefully looked at the chunk of football-sized stone material a few times before starting to cut it. After a few minutes, nearly half of the stone was cut and revealed a milky white colored jade.

“Mutton Fat Jade?”

Master Huang was taken aback and skillfully wiped it. After having finished with the cutting, he finally took out two pieces of nut-sized Mutton Fat Jade as well as dozens of seed jade materials.

At this time, there was a surprised expression on Xue Yu’s face. Her eyes observed Tang Xiu’s unperturbed face, as she suddenly had some unusual feelings growing inside her heart. She faintly felt that today’s gambling would be a bit funny and interesting.

The expression on Chu Yuan’s face did not change, but he secretly had a wry smile inside. He did not expect that Tang Xiu’s luck would be that good to have Mutton Fat Jade taken out from his first chunk of stone. Although the value was not as good as the ones he obtained, it was only the first one, there were still two stone materials that had yet to be cut!

“Carry on!” Spoke Tang Xiu with a faint smile.

Master Huang nodded and picked up the second chunk of stone and started to cut it.

“It’s red?” As Master Huang’s knife went down, he saw faint red traces from the stone. When he began to clean it and started to cut around it, the bright scarlet jade material was exposed to everyone.

“It’s Blood Jade, the best quality Blood Jade!” Master Huang’s voice was trembling a bit. One must know that Blood Jade was very precious, and the best quality Blood Jade was a rare, treasured object that even if one had money it was difficult to buy. For instance, the jade ornament carved from Blood Jade hanging on Chu Yuan’s waist, its value was excessively high.

With a surprised expression, Xue Yu looked at Tang Xiu’s tranquil expression. She had never thought that the second chunk of stone materials bought by Tang Xiu turned out to contain Blood Jade, and more so that it was a Blood Jade of the best quality.

Something feels strange!

While looking at Tang Xiu’s tranquil expression, there was a strange tide of mental sensation inside her heart. She knew that Tang Xiu had won even though the third stone material was uncut. Just merely this Blood Jade had outweighed the total value of the jade and jadeite obtained by Chu Yuan.
