Chapter 251: Chapter 0251: No Way to Step Down
Mu Tianyou laughed at Long Fei, "Sorry, but my luck today is just too good. This is top-grade glass-type jade, what do you have to win against me now?"
Zheng Lili also hugged his arm excitedly and said to Lin Shanshan, "Miss Lin the Second, you can’t go back on the bet we just made!"
Lin Shanshan ground her teeth and retorted, "Watch your words carefully, the higher you climb, the harder you fall."
Zheng Lili snorted with laughter, "A dying duck’s quack is most rigid, really, you won’t cry until you see the coffin. If this stinking security guard can win against my brother Tianyou, I’d even sleep with him for free!"
As soon as those words left her mouth, she seemed to realize she said something wrong and quickly covered her mouth.
"Trash is just trash, always sleeping around with men!"
Lin Shanshan burst into laughter, eliciting laughter from the crowd around them as well.
Long Fei and Lin Yingying exchanged glances, both breaking out in a sweat.
Mu Tianyou looked at Zheng Lili with contempt, not expecting her to be so thoughtless.
In front of all these people, she actually said such a thing.
Zheng Lili quickly tried to explain, "Brother Tianyou, don’t get me wrong! I said that because I believe in you!"
Mu Tianyou ignored her and directly challenged Long Fei, "Are you still cutting or not?"
"Of course!"
Long Fei nodded calmly.
Mu Tianyou pointed at him and declared, "Good, then I’ll make you lose convincingly!"
He gestured to the Stone-Cutting Master to start cutting the stone.
His finger simultaneously made a horizontal cut as he subtly winked at the Stone-Cutting Master.
Stone cutting is a technical job, and ordinary people cannot read the patterns. Random cutting often ruins what’s inside.
The Stone-Cutting Master’s brows twitched as he began to cut downward with the machine.
He deliberately cut against the grain, thinking that if there were any green inside,
such a cut would also make the green burst into cracks.
That way, his young master would surely win.
Onlookers discussed among themselves, "It won’t be easy to win, unless he cuts out Dragon Stone Jade. Otherwise, even if it’s glass-type jade, it’s just a draw."
"I think this kid is just lucky, this time he probably won’t even get a glutinous type."
"It’s better if he loses, I want to see Miss Lin the Second strip!"
"Heh heh, great minds think alike! Miss Lin the Second indeed looks good, we’re in for a treat today!"
Not a single person in the crowd had faith in Long Fei.
Even Sixth Master Tan and his companions frowned deeply and broke into a cold sweat for Long Fei.
In jade betting, Dragon Stone Jade, also known as Dragon Type or Divine Type, refers to the perfect combination of base and color.
The base doesn’t dull the color, and the color doesn’t affect the base transparency.
The overall color is very evenly distributed throughout the material, with the naked eye seeing no cotton or impurities.
The color blends into the base, with an even hue and no visible roots.
A color that leans more towards blue and is darker is called "Deep Water Dragon Stone Jade."
A color that slightly leans towards cyan water and is lighter is called "Tranquil Water Dragon Type."
This kind of jade is extremely rare in usual circumstances, worth tens of millions once found and usually kept in private collections, occasionally being sold to outsiders.
The gemstones in this yard have all been screened by the Mu Family, who placed the uncertain or overlooked stones here for transactions.
For most people, finding Dragon Stone Jade in these stones is like searching for gold in the sand.
The crowd around them eyeballed Lin Shanshan with wicked smiles.
Lin Shanshan gave them a disdainful look, confident in her brother-in-law.
Even if she lost, she had a hundred ways to handle it.
A shrill sound and sparks flew as the stone, the size of a volleyball, was cut open, emitting a flash of green light that suddenly grabbed everyone’s attention.
The cut surface was as smooth as water, with not a single impurity or crack visible on it.
The color was pale, resembling glass, yet softer to the eye, and had a very spirited quality.
It seemed as though if someone reached out to grab it, it would sway in their hand.
Everyone who looked at this stone immediately felt a sense of joy, as though they had seen a first love.
No matter who it was, their eyes lingered on the stone, reluctant to look away.
"Dragon Stone Jade!"
"It really is Dragon Stone Jade!"
"My God, I never expected to see such jade!"
A group of people fell silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into shocked exclamations.
These people were all experts in the jade gambling world.
If they were like this, you can imagine how thrilled Lin Yingying and Lin Shanshan were.
Lin Shanshan’s little head was buzzing with excitement, already planning to have a pair of bracelets made from this material for herself and her sister.
Wearing them would certainly be stunningly beautiful.
The stone-cutting master was red-faced, smacking his forehead.
This kind of Dragon Stone Jade, whether you cut it horizontally or against the grain, doesn’t matter.
The quality inside is uniform, so every side is the same.
He should have used the cutting machine to stir things inside to bring out the cracks.
Mu Tianyou’s face turned as red as a monkey’s butt, even redder than the stone-cutting master.
He was astonished as he looked at Long Fei, unable to reconcile how a security guard could be linked to a jade gambling expert.
Once could be explained by luck, but cutting such fine jade a second time, that couldn’t be called luck anymore.
Best two out of three, and with Long Fei winning two rounds, it was clear he had no chance left.
Sixth Master Tan laughed heartily, his gaze, along with the others’, fixed on Zheng Lili.
The four old rascals remembered the matter distinctly and seeing that Zheng Lili seemed to be trying to flee, they surrounded and cornered her.
Lin Shanshan reacted, grinning playfully as she hurriedly called out to Zheng Lili, "Miss Zheng, where are you rushing off to in such a hurry?"
Zheng Lili’s face turned red as she said uncomfortably, "Can’t I go to the bathroom?"
Lin Shanshan chuckled, "Of course you can, but you have to fulfill our bet first, then you can go."
"Who said you won? Both pieces of stone are clearly the same, how can you determine that you’ve won?"
Zheng Lili argued weakly, turning to look at Mu Tianyou for a moment.
Mu Tianyou’s face looked even more awkward as everyone present were experts.
The truth was right there in front of them; he couldn’t deny it even if he wanted to.
Long Fei asked him, "Young Master Mu, do you admit defeat? Or do you want to pick another from the high-grade stones to bet?"
Where dared Mu Tianyou bet again? Every time he bet, Long Fei would take one.
In the high-grade jade market, each stone was at least a meter in diameter, and their starting prices were all over a million.
He didn’t want to let Long Fei have another windfall and said with a frown, "I can admit defeat, but you have to agree to one condition!"
"Speak!"
The shrewdness of a southern businessman was written all over Mu Tianyou’s face, not dwelling on the unfavorable situation, but instead quickly thinking of a compromise to minimize his loss.
Long Fei had already guessed what he was going to say, not surprised in the least.
Mu Tianyou said, "I want to add one more condition to the bet just now. You can’t touch the high-grade stones. Out of the ten stones, you can only pick from the low and middle-grade ones."
Worried that Long Fei wouldn’t agree, he emphasized, "If you’re unwilling, I won’t admit defeat. You know, Dragon Stone Jade is just a kind of glass type, at best we both just tied."
Long Fei smiled, knowing that getting this high and mighty young master to admit defeat was no easy feat.
For him, having or not having the large high-grade jade stones was all the same.
He agreed, "Alright, I accept your terms."
Mu Tianyou let out a sigh of relief, conceding, "Fine, you’ve won. Go ahead and choose any of the stones from the courtyard!"
As for the low and middle-grade stones in the courtyard, Mu Tianyou didn’t really care about them.
If someone could take away the good ones, that was their skill.
After all, when they sold them, the price wasn’t that high.
Ten stones, at most, would total a few million.
Whereas a single high-grade stone could cost millions—he couldn’t afford that kind of loss.
Once he conceded, things looked bad for Zheng Lili.
Her face was so flushed it extended down to her neck; she really wanted to slap herself twice.
She never expected that Mu Tianyou, so proud, would actually admit defeat publicly!
