Chapter 381: Chapter 381: Do I Regret It Now, Is It Too Late?
Gu Shiyin’s hands gradually stiffened because as she opened the jade inch by inch, the places her fingers touched—
The ice-like cracks in the white jade not only did not diminish but became even more dense!
The initial small window was just a few strands, but later it was covered with crisscrossing cracks.
The fine, translucent white jade was utterly ruined by these dense ice cracks.
It’s like a beautiful woman whose face had been slashed countless times, becoming unrecognizable.
The spectators looked on with pity, sighing repeatedly.
Xi Rubao squeezed in, not minding much, bluntly speaking the truth: "Oh, this spider web is so ugly, horribly ugly, so that’s supposed to be the most valuable jade in the room? Ha, it doesn’t even look as good as the tourmaline I randomly picked out for ten thousand!"
Gu Shiyin’s hand on the stone opening machine was too stiff to continue.
Of course.
There was no point in continuing.
A jade cracked like this would still be waste jade when opened.
Worthless.
She opened two pieces of waste jade in a row, and as a top treasure appraiser, she completely crashed and burned, her face metaphorically smashed into the wall, unable to peel it off.
If only she hadn’t made predictions about No. 6 and No. 16?
If she had kept her mouth shut, said nothing, and hadn’t encouraged Chu Qiaoen and Yin Hu to place bets, would she not be so embarrassed now?
Gu Shiyin felt a burning gaze fall on the back of her neck, making her feel a chill down her spine.
Stiffly turning her head, she suddenly saw the frosted glass window of the No. 1 VIP room upstairs.
Though she couldn’t see the person inside, Xi Rubao.
But she inexplicably felt that the other’s gaze had the power to penetrate walls and hearts, thoroughly seeing her!
Indeed, it was because she wanted to compete with the No. 1 VIP room, wanting to slap their face, that she couldn’t resist revealing her insights and predictions on the raw stones of No. 6 and No. 16.
What goes around comes around, and now the consequences have rebounded onto her!
Gu Shiyin took a deep breath and put down the stone opening machine: "It seems my luck is not good today, let’s stop here."
She left Yin Hu and the others, gathering her cloak, and hurriedly walked away.
Yin Hu was still foolishly staring at the half-open raw stone: "What, why stop opening it? Long, you say, it’s ugly indeed, but... can’t it sell for a price?"
Everyone looked at this man who knew nothing about jade betting, yet dared to wager, with pity.
Chen Long covered his face.
He really didn’t want to admit he knew this fool.
"What do you think? If you’re ugly like a malformed fruit, only 1.1 meters tall, with negative savings and a bad temper, can you find a wife? By the same logic, can such an ugly piece of jade find a buyer? How blind would someone have to be to buy your spider web-like waste?"
Listening to Chen Long’s straightforward analogy, Yin Hu finally realized his situation.
"So, I spent 5.5 million down the drain?"
"Yes."
"And 2.5 million of it was borrowed on credit?"
"Yes."
"Is it too late for me to regret it now?"
"Obviously, it’s too late!"
Yin Hu fell into silence.
Where did it go wrong? How did it end up like this?
On the battlefield, he could follow Mr. Bo with heroic prowess, reacting swiftly, killing countless enemies. Why in a small auction, was he so strapped for cash, slow to react, outmaneuvered, and even his intelligence... seemed insufficient?
In the blink of an eye, a debt of 2.5 million?
The palms of his hands gradually began to sweat.
Just then.
A gentle little hand rested on his shoulder, and a familiar and elegant voice sounded in his ear—
