Ge Hua noticed the unusual tone of the stone cutter.
However, he still sneered, "Heh, could it be that the rough stone he chose can actually yield some top-grade jadeite?"
As he spoke, he looked at the cut surface of the rough stone.
But the next second, Ge Hua's expression, which had been full of disdain, froze on his face.
Because Ge Hua saw three-colored jadeite!
What shocked him even more was that these three colors were red, green, and purple! This is also known as the three-colored jadeite of fortune, longevity, and prosperity!
Ge Hua was stunned, almost suffocating.
Even now, he couldn't believe that what he was seeing was real!
"Mr. Ge, is this piece of jadeite valuable?" At this moment, Chen Mo's playful voice sounded.
Ge Hua finally came back to his senses, his mouth agape in disbelief, his eyes never leaving the three-colored jadeite.
Valuable? What a joke. Three-colored jadeite of glass-like quality is worth at least over a hundred million!
But the thought of over a hundred million made Ge Hua's heart skip a beat.
Because he clearly remembered that the bet between him and Chen Mo was that if Chen Mo won, this rough stone would be given to Chen Mo!
"No, it's not valuable!" Ge Hua blurted out almost instinctively.
Hiss!
When the crowd heard Ge Hua's words, a wave of gasps went through the audience.
Because they all knew that Ge Hua was trying to renege on the bet.
Realizing the murmurs around him, Ge Hua couldn't help but blush. He naturally knew that there were quite a few jadeite experts present.
But he forced himself to remain calm. At this moment, he absolutely could not show any panic.
He didn't want Chen Mo to take away this ultimate masterpiece! That would be a huge loss for Yan Ru Yu.
If his father found out, he would beat him to death!
"Really? But I heard that three-colored jadeite is very valuable," Chen Mo asked with a smile.
Mo Xiaojing also realized that Ge Hua was trying to cheat, but she didn't understand these things and didn't know the value of three-colored jadeite.
"It's not cheap, about eighteen million. This price is very fair," Ge Hua quickly explained.
Chen Mo stroked his chin, "Eighteen million, that's not a small amount."
Hearing Chen Mo's words, Ge Hua immediately felt relieved.
A sly smile appeared on his face. Ge Hua hadn't expected Chen Mo to be so easily fooled.
"Anyway, it's only two million away from twenty million. I'm still very confident about winning against you," Chen Mo's next words made Ge Hua's mouth twitch.
Stone gambling was full of uncertainties.
In Ge Hua's opinion, it was impossible for him and the store's experts to make a mistake twice.
The remaining two pieces of jadeite in Chen Mo's hands were ones they had previously dismissed, so he naturally didn't believe that Chen Mo's remaining two rough stones would yield any good jadeite.
"Since Mr. Chen is so confident, let's continue cutting!" Ge Hua waved to the stone cutter.
Soon, the stone cutter took the second piece of rough stone and fixed it on the cutting machine.
"Buzz!"
Another ear-piercing buzzing sound echoed.
This piece of jadeite was much larger than the previous one, so it took longer to cut.
"Crack!"
After a few minutes, the sound of the cut surface breaking was heard.
The cut side of the rough stone fell to the ground.
Everyone looked eagerly to see what jadeite could be cut from Chen Mo's second rough stone.
Hiss!
Immediately, a collective gasp of cold air filled the scene.
Because they all saw blood-red jadeite!
Everyone's eyes almost bulged out, their faces filled with disbelief.
Ge Hua hadn't looked at the cut surface yet, but he was confident that Chen Mo's rough stone would yield nothing.
Seeing Chen Mo's confused look, he stepped forward and patted Chen Mo's shoulder, "Mr. Chen, stone gambling is all about one's temperament. It's okay if nothing is cut out. Anyway, you still have one more rough stone, right?"
While seemingly comforting Chen Mo, Ge Hua's face was filled with mockery.
Chen Mo frowned slightly and looked at Ge Hua, "Mr. Ge, are you perhaps blind?"
When Ge Hua heard Chen Mo insult him, his face darkened, "Mr. Chen, I'm kindly comforting you, what do you mean by this?"
Hearing Ge Hua's questioning, everyone present looked at Ge Hua with a very strange gaze.
Chen Mo found it amusing, "Heh, Mr. Ge, comforting me? I think you're the one who needs comforting."
"Me?" Ge Hua pointed at himself in surprise.
Chen Mo nodded and pointed towards the cutting machine.
Ge Hua frowned, scanned the crowd, and as he noticed everyone's gazes, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He suddenly had a bad premonition!
Ge Hua slowly shifted his gaze, finally settling on the cut surface of Chen Mo's rough stone.
"Thump!"
As he clearly saw the cut surface of the rough stone, Ge Hua's legs went weak, and he slumped to the ground. His expression was worse than if he had eaten dozens of pounds of dead rats.
"How, how is this possible!" Ge Hua muttered to himself, his eyes vacant, as if he had lost his soul.
Seeing Ge Hua's expression, Chen Mo smiled faintly and asked, "Mr. Ge, this piece of jadeite is probably worth more than two million, right?"
Ge Hua looked at Chen Mo with stunned eyes.
"How, how is this possible? How could these two pieces of jadeite yield such good jadeite!" Ge Hua still couldn't believe his eyes.
Chen Mo replied, "Mr. Ge, I told you, my luck has always been very good."
"But I also thank Mr. Ge for being so generous as to give me two such exquisite pieces of jadeite."
Ge Hua felt as if Chen Mo had stabbed him in the heart!
Clutching his chest, Ge Hua's face was pale, and he couldn't say a word.
A piece of glass-like three-colored jadeite and a piece of glass-like top-grade blood-red jadeite – these two pieces of jadeite alone could easily be worth over three hundred million!
This was equivalent to him willingly giving Chen Mo three hundred million! How could Ge Hua not feel heartbroken?
Seeing Ge Hua on the verge of tears, Chen Mo said to the stone cutter, "Let's cut this last rough stone as well. We should at least let Mr. Ge know the total value of the three rough stones he gave me."
Ge Hua quickly covered his chest, feeling as if Chen Mo's words were rubbing salt into his wounds!
The stone cutter did not dare to delay and moved the rough stone onto the cutting machine.
This rough stone was similar in size to the first one.
So, soon, a side of the rough stone was cut open.
"Clang!"
Hearing the sound of the cut surface falling, everyone looked over.
Even Ge Hua, who was slumped on the ground with a face like he was about to cry, turned his gaze.
However, when Ge Hua clearly saw the exposed patch of vibrant green on the cut surface.
He was instantly dumbfounded, his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets, his face filled with disbelief.
The others present also gaped in shock.
