"Heh, congratulations to Mr. Ling! To pick such good material on your first try, it seems Mr. Ling has good luck!"
Wang Xingzhao smiled as he handed over the raw material, offering his congratulations.
Yang Fei took the raw material, a premonition telling him that good fortune seldom came without trouble.
Ling Feng, however, paid no attention. He scanned the crowd.
His intention was clear.
"You can continue bidding!"
"I want the piece next to it. I bid five million!"
"I bid six million!"
"I'll take the one with the yellow jadeite for seven million!"
...
The bidding continued unabated, the atmosphere as lively as a major auction.
In just three minutes, prices were settled.
Three pieces of raw jade were secured by three bosses, totaling twenty million!
Adding the multi-colored jadeite from before, it was a staggering thirty million!
Selling a single piece of raw jade for such a price was an absolute surge, a celestial rise!
Everyone marveled and sighed. Xiuxiu, excited, urged Ling Feng to treat them to a meal.
However, Ling Feng remained as calm as ever, completely unfazed.
"Here's your money. Don't play this game anymore!" Ling Feng said.
Everyone was stunned!
Thirty million was just casually given away?
Xiuxiu stared wide-eyed at the bank card before her, swallowing hard.
"These, this money is all for me?"
Xiuxiu was still in a daze at the immense fortune that had fallen from the sky.
Ling Feng turned and waved his sleeve, "Alright, we can leave now."
Yang Fei quickly followed. He walked up to Xiuxiu and smiled, "Miss Xiuxiu, if it weren't for you, my eldest brother wouldn't have played this jade gambling at all. Money means nothing to my eldest brother! Just take it. Focus on what's important."
A silence fell over the entire venue.
They looked at each other, their eyes wide with disbelief.
Money meant nothing to Ling Feng?
That statement was incredibly arrogant!
Wang Xingzhao's face turned from green to purple.
He wanted to leave after showing off in front of the beauty?
No way!
"Ah, Mr. Ling, please wait!"
Wang Xingzhao swiftly moved and stood in front of Ling Feng.
Ling Feng glanced up at Wang Xingzhao, his voice icy, "Is there something?"
"Heh, I'm truly excited to see such a young gambling expert like Mr. Ling today."
Seeing Ling Feng's brows furrowing, Wang Xingzhao continued, "The quality of the jade gambling here is too low-grade! How can such low-grade items be worthy of a gambling expert like yourself? Come, why don't we move to another place to play? The quality of jade gambling there is incomparable to here! It will definitely be interesting!"
Wang Xingzhao spoke very politely, yet his words carried an unrefusable weight.
He then gestured towards another area.
"I'm not interested!" Ling Feng refused unceremoniously.
He then walked forward proudly, completely ignoring Wang Xingzhao.
This further astonished the onlookers!
Could this Ling Feng truly be a super-rich magnate?
Not only did he disregard money, but he also disregarded Wang Xingzhao, the local power, with such an arrogant demeanor.
Was it the boldness of a young calf unafraid of a tiger? Or was it a confidence born of true strength?
Seeing his warm gesture met with a cold shoulder, Wang Xingzhao's feigned smile turned grim.
At this moment, Xiuxiu jumped to Ling Feng's side, grabbing his arm, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave! I told you, you're accompanying me shopping today. How can we miss out on something so fun! Let's go take a look over there, maybe we'll win!"
"You still want to play?"
This time, even Tang Ru couldn't help but speak.
In matters like this, there was no skill involved; it was all luck.
A woman's intuition was a terrifying thing.
Tang Ru sensed that Wang Xingzhao had ill intentions and wanted to stop Xiuxiu.
However, the oblivious Xiuxiu didn't notice anything amiss. She excitedly tugged Ling Feng towards the high-end area!
"Let's go! I really want to play!"
Ling Feng was speechless. He couldn't just fling Xiuxiu away.
This little demon clearly hadn't learned her lesson. It seemed the previous lesson wasn't painful enough, as she had forgotten her troubles once the pain subsided.
He regretted giving her the money earlier; she should have felt the sting of loss to learn her lesson!
"A windfall like that won't happen a second time! Whatever you take from here, I'll make you spit it back out!"
Wang Xingzhao sneered at the sight.
His voice was as cold as ice, chilling to the bone.
"Heh, Mr. Ling, your girlfriend is right. These small sums mean nothing to you. Having fun is the most important thing!"
"Hey, is your eye covered in sleep? Xiuxiu is my girlfriend, not my eldest brother's!"
Before Ling Feng could speak, Lin Shuanan jumped out, looking ferocious and ready to beat up Wang Xingzhao.
Wang Xingzhao was startled. Lin Shuanan gave him the feeling of being cornered by a mad dog.
"Lin Shuanan, shut up! Hmph, if you're so capable, why don't you find a gambling stone that yields a big profit!"
Xiuxiu scolded him, then her expression changed as she turned to Ling Feng, coquettishly saying,
"Ling Feng, we've already made a huge profit anyway. Let's just play this once. I promise, after this, I'll take you to meet my grandfather!"
"Just this once, and never again!"
Ling Feng reluctantly agreed.
"Hmph, you agreed just because she pouted. Ling Feng, you're so spineless!" Tang Ru stomped her feet as she followed behind them.
Yang Fei smiled wryly and said nothing.
Ignored again!
"Sister-in-law, can you control my eldest brother! Xiuxiu is my girlfriend!"
Lin Shuanan stood behind the two, saying to Tang Ru with a wronged expression.
Tang Ru blushed at the address "Sister-in-law" and said playfully, "You should control your own girlfriend! A man should be more assertive!"
"Yes, Sister-in-law, you're right!"
Lin Shuanan, as if enlightened, rushed forward and grabbed Xiuxiu's hand.
"Let go! Xiuxiu, you're my girlfriend, you can't hold other men's hands, not even my eldest brother's!"
Lin Shuanan's sudden possessiveness made Xiuxiu's pretty face turn red, her breathing quickening.
Just as she was about to be pinned against the wall by Lin Shuanan for a "wall-slam,"
*Slap!*
Xiuxiu slapped him. Lin Shuanan's nose bubble burst, and he stood there stunned.
"You, you scoundrel, how dare you take advantage of me! If there's a next time, I, I'll beat you into a pig's head." Xiuxiu raised her small fist.
Lin Shuanan stumbled back and walked to Tang Ru, who was holding her forehead and shaking her head, complaining mournfully, "Sister-in-law, your plan didn't work..."
Tang Ru was truly speechless.
Wang Xingzhao's face was filled with bewilderment. The relationships between these people seemed very complicated! And this Lin Shuanan fellow was also rather odd!
"Hmm, this kid is an idiot, a lunatic! We'll need someone to keep an eye on him later, lest he actually bites me..."
