Chapter 226 That's $100 Million Gone
Sun Yu-Hao wanted to swagger around with the jade, but he failed and lost $20 million instead. He was
made a fool of there and then.
Fortunately, he still had one more chance.
"Yu-Hao, don't be disappointed. Even if you lose money on that first rock, you will definitely recoup it
with the $100 million stone. Li said rock number 9 is 50 kilograms, so if there's jadeite in it, it'll be huge.
Then I'm sure you'll reap $200 million even and that $20 million loss will mean nothing," consoled Han
Fei-Fei.
Sun Yu-Hao laughed instead, "Why should I be disappointed? It was just a few million and means
nothing to me. I'll treat it as a donation to help promote the trade. If it's gone, it's gone. I don't care
about it," said Sun Yu-Hao nonchalantly. He seemed completely unconcerned as he spoke.
"You're so cool, Hao!"
"That's what I call a rich man!”
Sun Yu-Hao's words attracted a lot of
flattery.
But Sun Yu-Hao couldn't be bothered with the fawning and got the crowd to watch while the $100
million rock was cut.
"Be careful when you do it. This rock costs $100 million, so if you ruin the cut, I'll hold you responsible,"
reminded Sun Yu-Hao. Then he walked over and drew a line before letting the staff proceed.
ZIZIZIZI.
The low humming sound started.
Everyone stared wide-eyed. They all stared anxiously at this $100 million rock as it was cut slowly.
There was complete silence in the large showroom.
Only the sound of a metal blade whirring as it sliced through rock could be heard. White fog shot out
from the rock.
As they got getting deeper and deeper, Sun Yu-Hao's heart was in his mouth. He was so anxious that
he almost held his breath.
Then finally, with a clang, the 50 kilogram rock split open. Two light grey cut surfaces were revealed. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
"What?"
"No jade?"
"It's a bad one!!”
"He cut it, but there wasn't any jade at all.”
"It's a bad one. It's definitely a bad one!"
After a moment of silence, the crowd was in an uproar.
Many of them shook their head and even laughed out loud as they gloated over Sun Yu-Hao's
misfortune.
"How...how can this be? Cut it! Keep cutting it!" Sun Yu-Hao was livid. His face turned crimson in a fury.
It was inconceivable that there wasn't a shred of jade in a $100 million rock!
"Cut it! Cut it right at the center! I simply don't believe that there's no jade at all!'' roared Sun Yu-Hao.
But even after cutting the rock into many pieces, there wasn't any ice jade or any jade at all for that
matter. It was even worse than Shen Fei's rock.
It was complete scrap!
"How...how can this be? That's impossible! That's absolutely impossible!!" Sun Yu-Hao was in complete
shock and almost went hysterical. He panicked as he ran up the stage and pushed the jade cutter
aside. Then he continued cutting the rock indignantly.
"Hahaha! He has no reason to be cocky anymore. It was just scrap, right? He spent $100 million on a
mere rock. I'm so glad I heeded Mr Ye's advice, otherwise, I would have really jumped off the ledge!”
While Sun Yu-Hao was going crazy, Shen Fei was delighted. His grin was so large that it could almost
fit an apple and he was very impressed with Ye Fan.
"Mr Ye, I think we were lovers in our past lives. But now in this lifetime, you're my savior! I love you so
much! If it weren't for Mr Ye, I would have been so badly tricked! When we were at the antique
showroom on the fifth floor, you had the keen eye to see through a forgery. Today, you were genius
enough to remind me and stop me before it was too late. Mr Ye, I'm in your debt. I don't know how else
to repay you other than to marry you. From now on, we're a team. I will do everything you tell me to
without a moment of doubt!”
Shen Fei was very impressed by Ye Fan now.
It was scrap just like he said.
When he said Sun Yu-Hao would lose $20 million, he really did.
His eyes were sharper than that of a god's!
In retrospect, Shen Fei was terrified.
If it wasn't for Ye Fan, he would probably have upped the bid and spent over $100 million on scrap
stone.
Then his father would really send him to jail.
On the other side, after the $100 million stone turned out to be a bad pick, Li started feeling guilty. So
he stepped forward and apologized, "Young Master, I'm sorry for misjudging the rocks and causing you
such a huge loss!"
"Fuck you! Do you still have the cheek to talk about it?" bellowed Sun Yu-Hao with his eyes all red.
That was $100 million gone! He spent it all on a stupid stone.
No one knew how broken Sun Yu-Hao was. It felt as though his heart was bleeding.
He was so angry that he wanted to kick the old man to death.
But he suppressed the urge nonetheless. After all, there were many people watching, and Mu-Cheng
was around. The angrier he seemed, the more unbecoming it was.
So he suppressed it all in the end and did his best to calm himself.
"Young Master Sun, what's wrong? Why do you look so pale? Did you just get fucked over? Where has
all your arrogance gone? Weren't you very domineering just now? Where has it all gone now? Hahaha!
$100 million worth of stones? If Young Master Sun wants stones, you can always tell me.
I can ship a truck's worth over tonight. I'll even give you a discount and sell it to you for just $10
million!"
Shen Fei smugly smiled as he ridiculed Sun Yu-Hao. He threw all the insults that Sun Yu-Hao used on
him right back at him.
Sun Yu-Hao's face looked awful and was completely overcast. He even clenched his fists tightly
because he was furious in his heart. His fingernails were almost cutting into his flesh.
"But no matter how much it hurt in his heart, he had to act calm. He sneered, "It's just $100 million and
I don't care about that tiny bit of money. What's more, even if my rock is bad, at least I dared to cut it on
the spot. Do you dare to cut yours here? Let's see if you have the guts to cut the rock here. I want to
see what kind of treasure there is in that leftover rock."
"Well..." Shen Fei didn't dare to reply him.
"Fine! As you wish!” Gentle laughter came from the crowd.
SWISH SWISH SWISH.
Everyone turned together and glanced towards the voice.
They only saw Ye Fan with a calm smile on his face as he walked over.
"It's you? You brat, this is no place for you to speak," yelled Sun Yu-Hao instantly when he saw Ye Fan
and got even angrier.
But Ye Fan ignored him and looked at Shen Fei, "Shen Fei, just go ahead and cut it. Don't worry. If I
say there's jade, there will be!"
Shen Fei nodded and simply said okay to Ye Fan.
When Sun Yu-Hao, Han Fei-Fei, and the others saw them, the sneered immediately. Their eyes filled
with contempt.
"Hahaha!”
"He's so idiotic."
"Are you so certain there's jade? If you're that great, why don't you get lucky all the time?”
"Only an idiot like Shen Fei would believe his nonsense!!”
