Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 690: Chapter 670: Instant Fame?

”The public plate opens tomorrow, so don’t buy too much today,” Jimo Cheng said after he had paid the bill.

Luo Qianqian was stunned for a moment before nodding her head. She just felt that these few stones were warm, that was all—because every time her eyes looked at the stones, something in her bag was always heating up, behaving restlessly.

Luo Qianqian later touched and found out that it was her Jade Pendant.

Firecrackers crackled and popped, and Luo Qianqian frowned slightly, ”Is someone getting married?”

Jimo Cheng quickly explained that it was a signal that the Gambling Stone had increased in price.

Before they could go further inside, Elder Hei was stopped by a man who had just been sent to cut the stone. The man looked at Luo Qianqian in surprise, gasping and unable to speak, but he pointed at Luo Qianqian and then to the outside several times.

Elder Hei frowned, ”Miss Jin Yuee’s Gambling Stone, it increased?”

The man kept nodding his head.

Luo Qianqian still looked baffled, What? What? What does ’increased’ mean?

Jimo Cheng also looked at Luo Qianqian in surprise, well aware that that particular stone was merely used by Luo Qianqian to cover up another one’s existence.

”Shall we take a look?” Elder Hei said with interest, looking at Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian nodded. She didn’t know what was going on and of course wanted to see.

”It seems the money just now has already covered the cost. Elder Hei can no longer say that Miss Jin Yuee buying a fish tank stone is a waste of money,” Jimo Cheng said with a smile on his face, as if he was happy for Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes. She didn’t know why it was so coincidental; that stone just did not sense as strongly as the smaller one.

The three of them arrived at the stone-cutting spot, only to hear several people arguing there: ”I bid three hundred thousand!”

”I bid five hundred thousand!”

”I bid eight hundred thousand, the rest of you back off!”

Luo Qianqian looked at the stone on the stage that had one side cut open and pursed her lips. It clearly was not as good as hers, whether it was the Jade Pendant her grandmother gave her or the Jade Token from Grandpa Kong.

”Glass type, not bad,” Elder Hei nodded, but too bad it was too small for his consideration; otherwise, it would have been nice to acquire it. He looked at Luo Qianqian, ”Continue cutting or sell it now?”

Luo Qianqian looked blankly at Jimo Cheng.

Jimo Cheng had to play the role of the commentator and continued to explain, ”This is called opening the window. You can choose to sell it now or completely cut it out and then sell.”

”Cut,” Luo Qianqian said without any hesitation. She just wanted to see how the stone was cut.

Hearing it was a young girl speaking allowed the stone cutting to continue, although people who were previously arguing stood stunned. Soon, someone advised, ”Young girl, if it collapses now, it wouldn’t be good. Listen to uncle, uncle bids five hundred thousand.”

”Stop deceiving the young girl. For such a big glass type, you’re only bidding five hundred thousand, uncle here bids a million.”

Luo Qianqian looked up at the two men and said calmly, ”I have adults here, and besides, I only bought it for fun, the result doesn’t matter much to me.”

Jimo Cheng quite admired Luo Qianqian’s attitude and nodded.

Elder Hei also had a helpless expression. He wanted to say something, but seeing the young master’s protective demeanor, was it even his place to speak? He silently watched the two children play.

”Big increase!!” Luo Qianqian had switched her lemon juice three times before she heard someone say.

Luo Qianqian lazily looked up, only to see underneath the transparent jade material a small patch of deep green, and then she felt the heating in her bag again, frowning slightly. Was it that thing letting the Jade Pendant sense it?

”Senior brother, what is that deep green color?”

Jimo Cheng looked deeply at her, ”It must be Emperor Green.”

”I bid five million!”

”I bid five million five hundred thousand!”

”I bid...”

”I’m not selling.” Luo Qianqian waved her hand, ”It’s a memento from my first time, I want to keep it, put it in the fish tank.”

Jimo Cheng found it a mix of funny and exasperating. What’s with everything going in the fish tank?

Still, he followed Luo Qianqian’s wishes, and Elder Hei had people carefully put it away.

Then Elder Hei began asking seriously, ”Miss Jin Yuee, how did you choose this one?”

Luo Qianqian felt somewhat embarrassed. The piece just now was completely random... ”Well, its shape looked pretty, felt like it could become a nice decoration.”

”How about this one?” Elder Hei asked as he walked along.

Luo Qianqian looked at the Gambling Stone in Elder Hei’s hand, tilted her head and frowned slightly, ”Doesn’t feel good.”

Elder Hei was stunned, this piece was clearly the most beautiful one he had seen.

Luo Qianqian casually pointed at another one, ”That piece, though, is relatively more artistic.”

Because of the earlier incident, there were still people paying attention to Luo Qianqian and her group, so someone immediately came forward, ”I want that one!!!”

”It’s mine!!!”

Luo Qianqian backed away with an embarrassed face. Could she admit she was just pointing randomly?

She pulled on Jimo Cheng’s sleeve and pouted without saying anything.

Jimo Cheng understood and smiled, ”Elder Hei, let’s go. I’m a bit hungry.”

Elder Hei looked at the time and nodded.

After taking the two back to the hotel, Jimo Cheng still chose a suite, though not the presidential suite. He didn’t need to be that showy here; he had to be low-key.

”Senior brother, senior brother, the fish tank... no wait, the stone, the Gambling Stone...” Luo Qianqian changed from her usual composure as soon as she entered the room.

Jimo Cheng narrowed his eyes, his expression serious, ”Jin Yuee, did you really just pick them at random?”

”Not entirely random...” Luo Qianqian frowned, but she always felt something was a bit illogical. She pursed her lips, ”You might not believe it, senior brother, but those were the shapes of the stones in the fish tank at home I dreamt about yesterday, so they felt very familiar...” Luo Qianqian was embarrassed herself. Turned out it was related to the fish tank after all?

Jimo Cheng raised an eyebrow. Although he didn’t believe Luo Qianqian’s explanation, he still asked Elder Hei to have the stones Luo Qianqian had chosen brought up, not forgetting to send a set of stone-cutting equipment as well.

Looking at the five stones in front of him, Jimo Cheng felt somewhat helpless. He picked one up, and no matter how he looked at it, it didn’t seem like the kind of Gambling Stone that usually had good material inside.

”Need help?” Seeing Luo Qianqian looking like she wanted to cut the stone in half, Jimo Cheng still spoke up.

Luo Qianqian nodded without hesitation. What a joke, how would she know how?

Jimo Cheng frowned; after all, he wasn’t usually into this either.

Seeming to sense Jimo Cheng’s thoughts, Luo Qianqian picked up the random stone, ”Maybe practice on this one?”

Jimo Cheng nodded, laid some newspapers on the table and started cutting carefully. He cut a part cautiously, found nothing, and continued little by little, but discovered nothing, looking puzzlingly at Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian stuck out her tongue. She couldn’t really say this piece was just for padding, could she?

She held the Jade Token in her hand and handed it over to Jimo Cheng, feeling it was the least promising.

Jimo Cheng continued carefully, but this time, he saw green.

”...What should I say?” Jimo Cheng looked at the Jade, which he had split into two pieces, his face full of helplessness. He had thought Luo Qianqian was really just buying them for fun...
