Chapter 11 (2/2)

Elly raises her lips and is very proud.

Lin Luoran does not say anything. Elly’s words offend Boss Zhang again. Although everybody knows that cutting five-hundred-yuan raw stones is for satisfying a craving, does Elly mean that all of the raw stones he sells here are not good? Boss Zhang’s not happy after hearing this, because there is not much jade inside of this batch of raw stones and Boss Zhang is afraid of being commented about that.

Although Fortune House occupies a large part of the market, all of the people on the spot are engaged in jewelry. Peers are enemies and they don’t have to suffer from Elly’s temper. Most people don’t like her bitterness in their hearts.

Though everyone has the same thought, they all laugh on their faces. However, they all unconsciously turn their faces to Lin Luoran and Baojia.

“Lady, I am not satisfied today. How about selling these five-hundred-yuan stones to me if there is jade inside?”

Fatso Cui’s cheeks are chubby and plump while laughing, who looks quite cute at this time. Lin Luoran looks down upon herself in her heart but she instantly changes her impression to someone speaking for her.

“My last name is Lin, and this is my friend Baojia. You have already known her.” Lin Luoran has to introduce herself for being called “Lady” all the time.

Fatty Cui nods, “I know, I know. Who does not know the great designer Qin, right? Madam?” Elly just says that five-hundred-yuan stones cannot cut green out, and Fatty Cui immediately says that he wants to buy the jade from these stones. It is not only to help Lin Luoran out of the siege, but also to please Mrs. Cui.

Mrs. Cui throws him a glance and everyone starts to laugh. It seems that they are very intimate except when they gamble on stones.

Elly has more vicious words to say, but she is so distressed that n.o.body pays attention to her. She holds Li Anping’s arm and pinches it to black and blue. She turns to laugh from being angry, “Let’s see here. If the five-hundred-yuan stones have jade in them, Miss Lin will be the G.o.d hand in the industry.”

It is hard even for immortals to distinguish a small piece of jade. Elly’s words tend to be backhanded compliments. Lin Luoran just ignores her at this time. The fact is more eloquent than eloquence. Only if she puts the jade in front of her will she shut up.

“Miss Lin, to cut or to rub these two stones?”

“Of course to cut. Boss Zhang, I will tell you where to cut and can you help me to do it?” Lin Luoran looks like a curious baby. She picks up the pen Mrs. Cui hands her and draws a line at two-thirds of the “Watermelon Stone”.

Boss Zhang says “OK” and points the cutting knife at the line that Lin Luoran just drew.

“Pssst…” The cutting knife makes a noisy sound while cutting the raw stone and the dust splashes everywhere.

At first, people had no expectation on those five-hundred-yuan stones. Frankly speaking, they would rather keep looking at the two ladies in different styles. But with Elly’s irony, they start to look forward to the miracles that might happen to Lin Luoran’s stones. Even if there is only a little bit jade in the stone, it can hit in the face of that princess from Fortune House.

As the owner of this stone, Lin Luoran is also very nervous. Although she has already known the result, it doesn’t mean that she can accept it calmly.

After all, it is just a watermelon-sized raw stone. Whether people want to see jade in this stone or not, it won’t take long to cut.

The noise stops and the raw stone is divided into two parts. All of the people there can’t help looking at the bigger part. But they can only see a white section. This stone can never have jade in it as expected!

People know that it’s better not to expect anything, but at this time, they feel a little bit disappointed somehow.

Only Elly laughs, “Being poor is not ridiculous, but dreaming to be rich is really ridiculous.”

Before Lin Luoran says something, Boss Zhang looks up and says, “Miss Elly, do not say something stupid, the price of Miss Lin’s stone… rises after being cut.”

It is obvious that it is white inside. Why does Boss Zhang say the price rises?
