Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Once in a Century Heavenly Price Jade

"President Jiang, perhaps we shouldn’t participate after all," Jiang Yihan’s assistant couldn’t help but advise her, "The risk is just too great, and you now..."

The assistant’s gaze turned to her prominently large belly, truly fearful that something might go wrong.

Jiang Yihan was well aware that she was taking risks.

Yet her expression showed not a hint of retreat, "I simply have no way out, if this is not successful, I’m prepared to accept the consequences. If we fail, even if he is born, he will just be a pitiful child."

The Jiang family was trapped in a severe economic crisis.

If she did not fill the huge economic void, she would have to go to prison. Her child would have to be born in jail...

Jiang Yihan had never failed before and had been proud all her life.

How could her child be a failure?

If all she could give him was a life of misery, she would rather he not come into this world.

This gamble was about their future.

If she lost, she would accept her fate.

If she won, they would be victorious.

The assistant understood her predicament and immediately said no more. There was just profound sympathy for her, who had been such an outstanding person yet brought to this point by others.

This woman’s fate had really always been full of hardships.

Many people attended the auction, all of high status.

Fan Jiang naturally was there too; he had come in person this time aiming for this auction. Everyone had heard the rumor that jade of the century, the Heavenly Price Jade, would appear.

Everyone was here for that Heavenly Price Jade.

Fan Jiang was determined to win this jade.

He did not regard anyone present as his rival, except Ji Liancheng.

Fan Jiang glanced around but did not see Ji Liancheng.

"Has Ji Liancheng not arrived yet?" he asked, puzzled. The auction was about to start; how could he not have arrived yet?

"Yes, he has not arrived yet," his subordinate reported. "He is said to still be at the hotel."

Fan Jiang couldn’t help but laugh, "What time is it, and he is still dawdling. Ha, maybe Ji Liancheng doesn’t dare to come after all."

"Probably realized he’s no match for you and just backed out," Ye Shimin sycophantically said.

Fan Jiang listened and was very pleased, "It’s better this way; otherwise, I would show him what it means to be utterly defeated!"

Ji Liancheng and his group still hadn’t arrived, even when the auction had already started.

The raw stones in this auction were all top quality, almost all capable of yielding jade.

After the buyers assessed them, they could start bidding.

To assess the jade in the raw stones, many used high technology.

Like a kind of scanner.

But even the best devices have their limits; it’s utterly impossible to completely see through a stone.

So reliance on experience was still necessary, especially... luck!

Jiang Yihan had many years of experience in the jade industry; this time, she didn’t bring anyone with her and had to rely entirely on herself.

She had participated in one or two jade gambling events previously and had basically not suffered any losses.

But this time, she was gambling her entire fortune.

Jiang Yihan had to carefully assess each stone to be auctioned. Seeing her with a large belly also getting involved, some arrogant men mocked her.

"This woman, with such a big belly, why is she even meddling? Could her man be dead?"

"People die for money; birds die for food. Today I’ve seen something new; I never expected that a pregnant woman about to give birth would dare to participate. She is literally risking her life for money!"
