Chapter 318: Chapter 227: Tearing Up?_2

"Sui Yi, what do you think of this stone? I’ve been looking at it for quite a while, and I’m quite fond of it. Take a look and tell me what you think~~" Elder Tang suddenly called out to Sui Yi.

With a glance, Sui Yi gave her assessment, "Ugly."

Elder Tang: "... You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you, you little brat."

Pfft!

Yu Quan and Elder Lin both choked.

"The quality of raw material can’t be judged by its beauty; some ugly pieces turn out quite beautiful inside..." Elder Tang said resentfully.

"That depends on if there’s anything ’pregnant’ inside it, and even then, you won’t know until after a ’cesarean section’. Elder Tang, you might as well take it home first and see," A-A added indifferently.

Is that even human language?

Although Sui Yi didn’t voice it directly, not only was the stone ugly, but it was also full of garbage inside, not a trace of jade, not even a thin layer of mist...

Elder Tang was annoyed enough to roll his eyes: "The tone of this... How come it sounds just like Sui Yi! A, you’ve been led astray."

A-A froze for a moment, then awkwardly tugged at his cap and fell silent.

However, Sui Yi casually remarked, "If you like it, then buy it. Take mine along with it, too..."

The stone in Elder Tang’s hand wasn’t large and wasn’t highly priced; bundling it was not expensive. Mainly, Sui Yi knew she should not stand out too much.

"Sure, yours seems pretty good too," Elder Tang agreed briskly.

Yu Quan and Elder Lin were complete outsiders when it came to this and just randomly picked out the pieces they liked among the hundreds and thousands of rough stones. To the younger folks, this seemed laughable, but it was also apparent that Elder Tang and others were not short of money...

Well, the wealthiest was still that Zou Xue Qin, who didn’t even blink as he quickly bought seven or eight pieces of raw material, heading straight toward a million in value. However, he seemed to have picked them out beforehand, just coming to collect today, so it didn’t take up much time.

"What’s the matter, Miss Sui, haven’t found one to your liking? If there’s one you fancy, how about I give it to you..." Zou Xue Qin was especially eager towards Sui Yi, after all, the importance of one’s face. But this effect was not only evident in Sui Yi.

Those who are generous and look good draw admiration, and with a respectable aura to boot, Hu Jie naturally felt a fascination with him. At the moment, she was following him around, asking questions and acting coquettishly...

Zou Xue Qin, maintaining his habitual courtesy, couldn’t be too cold towards her, which only fueled her enthusiasm further. Seeing Zou Xue Qin treat Sui Yi so warmly, Hu Jie glanced at Sui Yi and covered her mouth to giggle: "Miss Sui is just playing around, she understands nothing about Gambling Stones, whatever she picks is bound to be worthless, why waste the money..."

As per usual plot, when two women meet, there must be a clash. Sui Yi should have started fight mode and launched into a fierce battle with Hu Jie, right?

Speaking of which, Elder Tang and the others were actually quite looking forward to Sui Yi’s whatever, just the thought was adrenalizing, right...

But what was it? What’s Sui Yi’s strongest, must-have skill?

——Killing the mood.

And what’s her most passive skill?

——Ignoring.

"This one," she said, standing straight and casually pointing with her slender, beautiful fingers at a stone by her feet.

Goat Head Freak chuckled, "That’s not a small piece either, at least 150,000 right there, Zou Xue Qin, it’s going to cost you a lot!"

Zou Xue Qin didn’t seem embarrassed; instead, he just smiled as if 150,000 wasn’t a big deal to him.

But Hu Jie was incensed, glaring at him: "You’ve got some nerve, actually taking it! Have you no shame?"

This was a bit much. Elder Tang and others showed their displeasure; this girl came from a decent background, so why such a shrewish attitude, which naturally turned their stomachs...

Hu Lin felt a bit uncomfortable watching and quietly scolded his own sister, though he felt slightly disappointed inside, not expecting the girl to climb the ladder so eagerly...

Suddenly he felt a bit contemptuous of her.

"Add these two as well," Sui Yi pointed to two more pieces of raw material, one large and one small, as she stepped out of the crowd of stones.

Goat Head Freak chuckled as he looked at her, "Three pieces, Niuli, go measure them... Paying now?"

The last part was addressed to Zou Xue Qin.

Laughing, Zou Xue Qin pulled out his bank card...

A card had already been brought before him.

"Include those two as well."

Sui Yi was speaking of Elder Tang’s two pieces, and she paid for him, which wasn’t too large an amount, totaling just over a hundred thousand. Elder Tang, given his relationship with Sui Yi, had plenty of opportunities to return the favor later. Why make a fuss about it now and make their relationship awkward? He smiled and did not object.

But then...

Oh...

Talk about a slap in the face.

Let Hu Jie go; at that moment, even Zou Xue Qin’s face was slapped.

Two crisp slaps.

Financial support? Sister ain’t someone you can afford to keep.

In that silence, without giving even a glance to the two that got slapped, Sui Yi turned to Elder Tang and the others: "Anything else? Let’s include it all."

What’s called a silent command.

The kind of serene dominance that treats money like dirt, a flagrant display of wealth!

----------

After paying 500,000, A-A took care of the five pieces of raw material, and Sui Yi stopped looking. The three pieces she selected were already the better jade she could find there. Indeed, there were sure to be some other jades hidden among those ugly raw stones, but Sui Yi felt mentally fatigued, and her Magnetic Sensation was somewhat wilted.

Indeed, such delicate work was an extreme consumption of Magnetic Sensation.

Getting up and pressing her temples, Sui Yi squinted her eyes and rested for a moment. Aside from physical reasons, she didn’t want to sweep everything in one go, as it wasn’t good to cut off others’ opportunities. However, she could offer some advice to Elder Lin and the other two.
