With this thought, Davian couldn't help but give Huo Sining a once-over, a mocking and disdainful smile curling at the corner of her mouth: "What is a woman like you doing playing with stone gambling? Can you even afford such an expensive raw stone?" Huo Sining's face suddenly showed an expression of astonishment. What was with Davian's obviously condescending attitude? Is she brainless? When she made that comment, did she forget she's a woman too? Huo Sining was about to be speechless. Truly, birds of a feather flock together. Liang Jinghong's character wasn't great, and his girlfriends were even worse, one brainless act after another, showcasing their lack of intelligence! "Since this lady is also interested in this raw stone, just like me, why don't we make a bet? Let's guess the type and color of the jadeite inside this piece of raw stone. If you can guess correctly, Miss, it will be yours. How about that?" Huo Sining had no patience to dispute with such people. She might as well cut straight to the chase. If you want to snatch something, then show some ability! "That's your word, then. As long as our guess is more accurate than yours, this raw stone will be ours!" The woman was really trying to twist the concept. Huo Sining had clearly stated she would rely on her own skill in stone gambling, but she tried to rope in Liang Jinghong, seemingly setting up a two against one battle against Huo Sining. But Huo Sining wasn't much concerned with this little scheme. She had seen this piece of raw stone before; nothing could escape her scrutiny once it was in her hands. Even if she brought Gambling King Liu Chongren here, she would still win. Huo Sining kept a smile on her lips, looking at Liang Jinghong with eyes full of mockery: "Mr. Liang, please proceed!" The owner of the auctioned piece, hearing that Huo Sining and the others were going to use his piece as a bet, was visibly excited. Though the owner didn't know Huo Sining, he recognized Kuba, the guard from Badasang's side. Earlier, he had heard that the Bada Family invited the Jade Queen from Huaxia Country to gamble on stones. Seeing Kuba, he linked it to that news and guessed that Huo Sining was indeed the rumored Jade Queen. The Jade Queen showed interest in his raw stone, which naturally thrilled him. If the raw stone increased in value when cut, his status would rise accordingly. Liang Jinghong found himself in a bit of a bind now, his face already darkened. They say a woman's bust and her wisdom are inversely proportional; Liang Jinghong felt that way now, looking at the smug Davian beside him, speechless for quite some time. Huo Sining's expertise in guessing the type and color of jade was definitely not just hype. During the stone gambling involving the Jade Heaven Bead, imperial green, and Worm Jade, he had witnessed her skills first-hand, even seeing Gambling King Liu Chongren defeated by her twice. Especially with that piece of Worm Jade, so enigmatic a raw stone, Huo Sining could identify it accurately without a mistake. What stone couldn't this woman figure out? Liang Jinghong knew his limits. To win against Huo Sining in stone gambling, he'd need an impossible stroke of luck. However, this brainless woman Davian insisted on running headlong into danger, dragging him down with her cluelessly. As such, Liang Jinghong just wished he could kick this brainless woman back home, preventing more embarrassment! Huo Sining, however, gave Liang Jinghong no time to hesitate further, handed over her written answer to the owner while Liang Jinghong, frowning deeply, still wouldn't put pen to paper. Cowardly before the battle, Huo Sining couldn't help but shake her head internally. Liang Jinghong was such a loser. He had the guts to try and snatch someone else's raw stone but lacked the ability to win it back openly. Faced with someone with her strong stance, he was already scared even before the bet began—what a wimp! The raw stone was soon unraveled, and the result was, of course, evident. Huo Sining's answer was Glass Type Yellow Jadeite, while Liang Jinghong wrote High Ice Type or Glass Type Yang Green. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel·fire.net Upon seeing that answer, Huo Sining knew Liang Jinghong was just guessing; he hadn't fully understood that raw stone. It was a typical Massa Xinchang raw stone. This kind of stone had a thick skin, variable water and base quality, but most importantly, even if it showed green, the green was usually light. The chances of jade emerging were higher than emerald. Huo Sining's written answer nearly matched the unraveled raw stone, astonishing the onlookers. Only Su Qingqing and some others knew that Huo Sining had given Liang Jinghong a break. Seeing Liang Jinghong lose the bet, Davian was immediately unconvinced, saying, "This doesn't count; you were just guessing!" Huo Sining was utterly speechless; indeed, the larger the forest, the more bizarre birds there are. Not to mention Huo Sining wasn't guessing, even if she were, a win is a win, right? The wager was your agreement in the first place. Now that I've won, you're reneging? What kind of logic is that? On what grounds do you say it doesn't count? Liang Jinghong probably felt he'd completely embarrassed himself as well, his face turning crimson, pulling the still-complaining Davian away, disappearing into the crowd without looking back. Huo Sining hadn't intended to make a scene initially, but she was so provoked by that woman that she impulsively challenged Liang Jinghong. Now, seeing the onlookers pointing at her and whispering about the mysterious Miss Huo, the Jade Queen, Huo Sining held the palm-sized Chicken Oil Yellow, feeling a mix of laughter and tears inside. Indeed, you can't take brainless women too seriously; being serious means you lose! Being so particular about gambling with Davian, she just left it all behind after losing, leaving Huo Sining surrounded by crowds, what a Pyrrhic victory. "Are you going to sell this stone? I think such good material should be kept for company use, no?" Bai Yishan didn't care about pulling a scene; as long as the stone made money, it was fine. This girl had really fallen into a money pit, probably motivated by her brother and sister-in-law's pressures. Now she's buried herself in the studio, obsessively focusing on making money. Even though Bai Yishan's assets had already exceeded billions, her thirst for money seemed never-ending. Huo Sining had teased Bai Yishan about this, but Bai Yishan had answered so matter-of-factly: she said she just loves counting the numbers on her bank card; the more digits, the happier she is. So hearing Bai Yishan's remark, Huo Sining was both amused and exasperated, giving Bai Yishan a helpless glance and nodding reluctantly. This was Glass Type Chicken Oil Yellow; despite the small amount, it's top-quality material. Only a fool would sell such a good stone!
