Mountain village beauty: Brother, don't stop!

Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Are You Sure It’s Done Cutting?

Jiang Hong had already searched through the entire Zao City for precious jade stones and, in his opinion, the one brought by the Wu Family was the most valuable; he just didn’t believe Wang Hao could find a better stone than his.

"Alright, let’s now start cutting open the jade stone brought by the Wu Family."

The host announced the continuation of the stone cutting, and at that moment, the entire venue’s atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

As the cutting machine started humming, everyone involuntarily stood up, their gazes fixed unblinkingly on the stone being cut on stage.

"Oh my God!"

After the jade stone was cut open, the guests hadn’t yet seen what was inside.

The cutting workers and host on stage let out a cry of alarm, standing frozen in place, their eyes filled with shock.

"What’s going on? What exactly did they cut out?"

"Exactly, turn it around and let us take a look!"

Seeing the host and cutting workers’ flurry of reactions, the guests couldn’t wait to see what was inside the stone, almost stretching their heads onto the stage.

"This jade stone is actually a piece of jadeite!"

The host held up the slice of jade stone for everyone below to see.

All the people in the room, seeing the piece of green jadeite, were so astounded their eyes almost popped out.

The host then handed the jade stone to the appraisers in the front row; each appraiser widened their eyes, shone the professional light pen over it again and again, and after examining it, they couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

"How much is this piece of jadeite actually worth?"

The guests at the event were getting anxious.

"For jadeite of such fine quality, with ’water’ within, our starting estimate is thirty million."

Pausing for a moment, the appraiser seemed to think that it was worth even more, so he corrected himself.

"No, it’s worth at least thirty-five million!"

Wu Jianzhong and Jiang Hong exchanged glances and couldn’t help but smile triumphantly.

"How about that, Young Master Wu, I didn’t deceive you—this time you can rest easy, we’re sure to win! Let’s celebrate a bit!"

"Cheers!"

The two of them joyfully clinked their glasses and drank together, as if they had already confirmed their victory.

Wu Jianzhong spared Wang Hao a glance, thinking to himself that if the kid was too scared to cut his own stone later, he wouldn’t miss the chance to thoroughly humiliate him and Wen Family.

Upon seeing the jade stone, Wen Yonglin’s brows furrowed tightly, his complexion turning instantly pale.

Thirty-five million—that was the highest valued jade stone that had appeared at the gambling stones event, and with their stone so large, how could the small stones Wang Hao had brought surpass its value?

Now, money wasn’t the most pressing issue. What he was most worried about was Wang Hao raising the stakes by gambling his own eyes against Wu Jianzhong’s, especially since Wang Hao had been invited by the Wen Family.

If Wang Hao encountered any problems at the jade gambling event today, not only would he lose his eyes, but the Wen Family’s reputation would also suffer losses.

Wen Xiaowei glared fiercely at Wang Hao, thinking that he’d show off, but now look—his eyes were about to be claimed by someone else, and in the future, he’d be left to live in darkness.

What’s going on today? Why am I worrying about him? Wen Xiaowei suddenly felt bewildered.

Wang Hao had seen the good stuff inside the jade stone earlier, but he didn’t expect it to be this good upon cutting it open, worth three times more than he had estimated.

"Wang Hao, your eyes will soon be mine. You might as well take this chance to look at the beauties a little longer!"

Wu Jianzhong waved his glass in front of Wang Hao with provocation.

"Are you so certain? My stone hasn’t even been opened yet!"

Wang Hao replied with a polite smile.

"Fine, I will let you die with full awareness."

Immediately after, Wu Jianzhong turned towards the host on the stage and shouted.

"Hurry up and cut open Wen Family’s stone, I want to see if there is even a shadow of jade inside!" ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

After finishing, Wu Jianzhong and Jiang Hong exchanged a smile, brimming with delight.

When they brought over the Wen Family’s stones, the host was instantly dumbfounded and didn’t dare to look up at Wang Hao. Were these six ordinary stones intentional? Was Wang Hao deliberately setting the Wen Family up for embarrassment?

"This... this is the Wen Family’s jade!"

The host spoke haltingly, unsure of how to present them, and simply placed the six jade stones on the cutter’s table.

"Pfft—"

"Haha..."

Instantly, the entire banquet hall was filled with laughter mixed with sounds of guests spitting out their drinks in shock.

"Is this the jade Wang Hao picked out for the Wen Family?"

"He’s nothing but a swindler, these stones are just common rubble, you can find them everywhere; how dare he bring them to a stone gambling event."

The guests all had their say about the stones as they looked at them, and their opinions about Wang Hao were varied.

This time, even if Wen Yonglin continued to defend Wang Hao, they weren’t going to show Wang Hao any respect. They mocked him outright and said Wen Yonglin was a fool, completely duped by Wang Hao.

"Just this... haha..."

Jiang Hong couldn’t help but laugh unrestrainedly, pointing at the six uneven stones on stage, holding his belly that hurt from laughter, and speaking to Wang Hao.

"Are you telling me you brought just these few pebbles? Are you sure your brain is alright? If these stones can produce jade, I, Jiang Hong, will eat them!"

The appraisers below also shook their heads, none of them believing these six stones could yield anything of value.

They thought that today, the Wen Family was bound to lose.

And as for Wang Hao, now they’d see how arrogant he could be. If nothing came out of these stones, he wouldn’t be able to save his eyes.

Wen Yonglin and Wen Xiangyong immediately lowered their heads, thinking they shouldn’t have had such high hopes for Wang Hao. Today the Wen Family was about to be ruined by him.

Wen Xiaowei suddenly grew anxious as well, not because of the Wen Family losing face, but because she was worried about Wang Hao losing his eyes if he lost.

Unconsciously, she found herself caring about Wang Hao again, yet she felt no realization of it in her heart.

The cutter on stage also shook his head at the sight of such small stones; it was the smallest jade they had ever cut in their history.

Even if there was good jade inside, how much could it be worth? Unless...

The guests lost interest in watching any further and sat down to eat and drink, since it seemed clear that Wang Hao was bound to lose.

How bloody the scene must be when Wang Hao gets his eyes gouged out later, they surely wouldn’t be able to eat or drink after witnessing that.

After cutting the first one, the workers paused for a moment, and then they cut the second, the third...

After opening five in a row, those workers suddenly stopped cutting.

Huh? What’s going on? Why aren’t the workers cutting anymore?

Immediately, everyone curiously turned their attention to the cutters.

"Mr. Wen, are you sure they’re all cut?"

The host suddenly looked toward Wen Yonglin and Wang Hao with a complex expression, asking cautiously.

The guests grew even more curious; why had they stopped cutting? If it’s stone gambling, how can one know the value without cutting them open, and how can they gamble then?

But in Wu Jianzhong’s ears, these words took on another meaning; as if to tell Wen Yonglin and Wang Hao that there was no need to continue cutting, seeing as they had already lost.

"Grandpa Wen, I think there’s no need to keep cutting, just what good can come from those few ordinary broken rocks?"

Wu Jianzhong sneered coldly.

"Clang!"

Wu Jianzhong threw a knife in front of Wang Hao with a mocking face.

"Will you do it yourself, or should I help you?"
