Chapter 526: Chapter 524: An Eye-Opening Experience_1

No one spoke, and their eyes all turned to Xia Ningxing, signaling her to decide.

Without even thinking, Xia Ningxing immediately said, "Let’s solve it here."

Not to mention that such a big stone is not easy to transport home, and stone solving would also mess up the yard; it’s better to do it here.

"Then I’ll contact the Stone Solving Master for you," the owner said with a chuckle, before adding, "Solving a stone this big will probably cost about ten thousand yuan."

"No problem," Xia Ningxing nodded.

She thought it was no problem, but the onlookers around her almost burst into laughter.

"Spending ten thousand yuan to solve a raw stone bought for a hundred yuan, that’s just too funny!"

"I’ve never heard of anyone paying more for the stone solving fee than the raw stone itself!"

"Today has really been an eye-opener!"

"This young lady is about to pay an intelligence tax now!"

"Indeed."

Old Man Er also smacked his lips, "Isn’t it paying an intelligence tax, you’re the top scorer in the college entrance exams, but this brain of yours doesn’t seem too bright!"

He stared at Xia Ningxing with a look of contempt.

"You old thing, who are you saying has a dumb brain!" Sir Lu angrily patted his head, "If anyone’s brain is not smart, it should be you, you’ve lost so much money over the years, you’ve almost bankrupted your house!"

"Brother, it’s not that my brain doesn’t work, it’s just that my luck has been bad!" Old Man Er retorted desperately.

"You’d better shut your mouth, or I’ll sew it up with a needle!" Sir Lu warned him with a glaring look.

Old Man Er swallowed and dared not speak anymore.

At this time, the Stone Solving Master had already arrived.

When it was time to solve, Xia Ningxing didn’t forget to instruct, "Master, please be careful when cutting."

Compared to pearls, jade is more fragile and valuable; one wrong move, and the entire jade could be ruined by the master.

Because she had a hunch that the jade inside was not only very valuable but also very big!

"I know, I know," the master replied impatiently. If a hundred yuan stone could yield anything, he would eat the raw stone raw.

Seeing his attitude, Sir Lu immediately said sternly, "What kind of attitude is this! Owner, get me another Stone Solving Master!"

Really, he would never dare to give Xingxing such a look, who was he to do so?

Moreover, they were paying someone to do a job. If the person had a perfunctory and reluctant attitude, then they might as well not do it at all.

"Don’t, don’t, don’t, rest assured, I will be extremely careful to solve it for you, I guarantee not to nick it even a bit..." The master immediately put on a smiley, sycophantic face.

Although he looked down on this stone, getting ten thousand yuan for solving it was too good a deal for him to pass up to someone else!

"Forget it, Grandpa," Xia Ningxing gestured for Sir Lu not to be angry.

Sir Lu snorted, letting the matter go.

The Stone Solving Master also knew about Sir Lu’s temper, so even though he was sure the stone wouldn’t yield any jade, he cut carefully, making sure to put on a good show.

The crowd of onlookers wasn’t large. After all, what’s interesting about a stone that definitely won’t produce any raw jade!

An hour passed in a flash.

The raw stone still hadn’t revealed anything.

Old Man Er hummed softly, "I said..." nothing would come out, right?

Before he could finish his sentence, Sir Lu threw a fierce glance at him.

Old Man Er felt a chill on his neck, shrank back, and shut his mouth.

Another half hour went by.

Still, nothing appeared.

This time Old Man Er didn’t dare to speak, but he looked at Xia Ningxing with a mocking eye.

Ha ha ha!

He just knew it!

As he was secretly giggling to himself, to his surprise, he overheard an exclamation from the people around, "Oh my God, they found green!"

"What do you mean ’found green’? Are you colorblind? That’s clearly purple!"

The second elder couldn’t help but shout, "It’s really purple! How strange! Wasn’t it said that no good things could come from such a large rough stone?"

Purple signifies the king of jade!

"If it’s a complete piece, then it’s priceless, an overnight fortune, amazing!"

"Isn’t that the truth!"

"Keep watching, let’s see if there’s a complete one."

The Stone Solving Master hadn’t expected to find purple jade inside either, and became even more careful with his work, afraid to damage it even the slightest bit.

If he damaged it at all, he wouldn’t be able to compensate even if he sold his entire being.

Finally.

Half an hour later, a complete piece of purple jade emerged.

"It’s actually complete!"

"Incredible, Sir Lu is going to make a fortune this time!"

"As if Sir Lu wasn’t already rich enough!"

"It’s true, the richer you are, the richer you get, look at this, isn’t he making a fortune now!"

Everyone gasped in awe at the translucent purple jade.

Xia Ningxing gently rubbed it on her fingertip, feeling its warmth and smoothness, as if it had the effects of keeping warm in winter and cool in summer.

"A complete piece of purple jade! My dear mother! Unbelievable! Incredible!" The second elder, unable to contain himself, snatched the jade away from Xia Ningxing like a child, fondling it lovingly.

Xia Ningxing: "..."

She wondered who was just now so disdainful about the rough stone she selected, insisting there was nothing inside.

Could you maybe not flip so quickly now?

"Give the jade back to Xingxing!" the patriarch commanded sternly.

The second elder trembled and hurriedly, with an embarrassed smile, placed the jade back in Xia Ningxing’s hands: "Niece-in-law, you must take good care of this purple jade, I’ll cry to death if it gets damaged, you know!"

The way he spoke, one might think the priceless purple jade was his!

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but cruelly remind him, "Second Grandpa, this jade is mine."

Second Grandpa: "..."

Enough already! Can’t he delude himself for just a little longer?

"Miss, is this purple jade for sale?" At this point, someone knowledgeable had realized this was no ordinary piece of purple jade and immediately made an offer to buy it: "If you’re selling, I’ll offer fifty million!"

"Fifty million? You really are trying to swindle people. A piece of purple jade like this has to be at least eighty million!" someone else recognized and said, "Miss, if you’re selling, I’m willing to bid eighty million!"

"One hundred million!"

"One hundred and ten million!"

"I..."

Before Xia Ningxing could speak, the people around her had already started outbidding each other, as if certain she would sell the jade on the spot.

"Xiaxia, are you going to sell it?" The price had now reached two hundred million, and Tao Tao couldn’t help but swallow, obviously shocked.

Jade, after all, is just a stone; how can it be worth so much?

She, coming from an ordinary family, truly couldn’t understand.

Xia Ningxing looked down at the excellent quality purple jade she was about to speak about when Madam Yun, apparently having woken up, made the decision for her.

"Sell, sell, sell! Definitely sell!"

Only a fool wouldn’t sell at such a high price!
