Chapter 646: Going Out for Wool and Going Home Shorn

In contrast to Xue Yu’s shock and disbelief, Chu Yuan’s expression was somewhat unnatural. He originally thought that victory was already at hand. Of which, first, it would prove that he had the ability to suppress Tang Xiu, and second, the dinner he invited Xue Yu to attend to would happen as expected. He was even thinking of taking her to dinner in the presidential suite of the Long’s Dining Hall.

His smug, wishful thinking at this moment, however, came to nothing. The hen had flown away and the eggs in the coop were all broken. All was lost, and so was his chance to invite Xue Yu to dinner—all of which made him vexed and angry.

Compared to him, Master Huang was a bit excited. For him, in the capacity of a stone-cutting expert, being able to take out the best quality jade such as this Blood Jade was definitely an honor. Nevertheless, he was also well aware of the outcome of this gambling between Chu Yuan and Tang Xiu, which resulted in Chu Yuan’s loss.

However, he still had his own principle although being someone from the Imperial Garden. After taking out the Blood Jade, he took it and placed it on the tray, and then picked up the third chunk of stone material again.

“There’s no need to cut it, Elder Huang. I’ve lost already.”

Despite feeling vexed, Chu Yuan still displayed a frank and upright attitude. He nodded to Tang Xiu and then spoke to Master Huang.

“There’s no rush, Mr. Chu,” said Tang Xiu with a smile. “I still must cut this stone even though we don’t have a game of bet. Please continue, Master Huang.”

Hesitating for a moment, Master Huang still complied with Tang Xiu’s words. He spent two minutes cutting the stone with the stone-cutter machine as a green hue was then exposed to everyone present.

“This… this stone also has jade inside?”

Master Huang was shocked, and so was everyone around him as they wore disbelieving expressions. They knew that Tang Xiu’s three chunks of stone were all taken from the pile of stone materials at random by Master Huang. How come each of them contained jade materials?

Was it because Tang Xiu was lucky? Or was it that he was sure that these chunks of stone really had jade materials within?

The jade contained in the third chunk may not as good as the first and second, but it was still worth several million yuan should it be sold.

“I was careless.”

Rarely did Chu Yuan lose due to his cautious personality. He usually knew what he and his opponent could offer whenever he did something, and thus had the confidence that victory would be in his hand. The outcome of this gamble snapped him back to the realization that he was psychologically disturbed. He was aware that he wouldn’t have rashly proposed a gamble against Tang Xiu if Jade Beauty was not there.

After taking a deep breath, Chu Yuan slightly smiled and said, “Mr. Tang is indeed worthy as the Big Boss of the Magnificent Tang Corporation and the most outstanding member of the Tang Family. Your ability in stone gambling is truly deep and reaches the point of being superb. I’m really convinced. This Chu Yuan admits his loss.”

Tang Xiu replied with an odd expression painted his face, “You too have some good means, Mr. Chu. I did not expect that you have already found my identity so clearly with such a slight effort.”

“As a matter of fact, I’ve already learned about you long ago, Mr. Tang. It’s just that we just met and I couldn’t recall about you for a while,” said Chu Yuan with a light smile. “If anything, it’s not like I’m conceited or being smug, but there are not many people who can win me under the sky nowadays, so you do have that qualification, Mr. Tang.”

Tang Xiu raised his brows and did not want to continue talking with Chu Yuan about such wasteful words. What he needed now was to cut all the stoned he had purchased. Since the other party had already learned his identity, he did not want to conceal it anymore. And now that he had already won, he might as well add some more awesome things to give a clear message to this Imperial Garden’s heir apparent, that he was not someone who was easy to provoke.

“Please continue cutting the stones, Senior Huang!”

The eyes of Master Huang were filled with a somewhat strange expression as he looked at Tang Xiu. But still, he started cutting the fourth stone material with the help of the old man in Chinese tunic suit.

“There’s jade material!”

“This one, too!”

“How is this possible?”

“I…”

Master Huang continued cutting stones and took out the piece of jade of the stone. After two hours, a large number of jades and jadeites were taken out from more than a dozen chunks of stone.

At this time, Chu Yuan was shaken as he could hardly believe his eyes. It was because each chunk of stone bought by Tang Xiu contained jades or jadeites. This fact shattered his cognition and knowledge of stone gambling. Other than him, the young man and woman behind him were shocked to the point that it was hard to be surprised again at this time. Never once had they ever encountered such a demonically queer scene.

A radiant light flashed in Xue Yu’s beautiful eyes, as her eyes lingered on the stone chunks, jades, jadeites, and Tang Xiu. She was at the scene when Tang Xiu purchased these chunks of stone and witnessed him directly choosing these stone materials at that time and the deal he made with the owner and employees in those sheds.

It was so devilishly queer and strange!

Xue Yu found that she could not see through Tang Xiu at all. Not mentioning other aspects, just the stone gambling he had displayed was too terrifying and supernatural!

Eventually, when Master Huang was done cutting the twentieth chunk of stone, Xue Yu couldn’t help but stare at Tang Xiu and ask, “How exactly did you do it, Mr. Tang?”

“Huh?” Tang Xiu knew why she asked as he replied, “I don’t get what you mean.”
