Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 191: Chapter 188: Amazing Gambling Stone Secret Technique Chapter 191: Chapter 188: Amazing Gambling Stone Secret Technique Huo Sining didn’t know that because of the previous airport video, the lie she had told Wu Jingyi had been exposed.

Fortunately, Xu Lian was fierce, so even if Wu Jingyi had her suspicions, she didn’t dare to call again to inquire, leaving her powerless despite her doubts.

It was also because Huo Sining had acted with caution from the beginning, aside from Jin Chenyu, no one else knew her whereabouts, thus she was still safe for the time being.

Of course, it was simply a matter of being involved more or less, Huo Sining just didn’t want to stir up trouble, but even if those despicable relatives came looking for her, she wouldn’t be afraid.

After all, she could be considered quite well-off now.

The Huo family was indeed troublesome, but she had long stopped regarding those people as family, so if it really came down to dealing with them, she had plenty of methods at her disposal.

It’s just that she didn’t want to confront the Huo family head-on until the moment demanded it.

A week later, Bai Yishan’s studio was already well-arranged, and for this, Bai Yishan reportedly even had an argument with the Bai family’s eldest sister-in-law, who probably didn’t expect Bai Yishan to move so quickly to set up her studio.

Huo Sining didn’t know what Bai Guoming thought, but seeing Bai Yishan go as far as publicly declaring her renunciation of the inheritance to open her studio, Huo Sining guessed that the talk between Bai Yishan and her brother Bai Guoming hadn’t gone well.

“From now on, the Bai family’s affairs have nothing to do with me, this is my back-against-the-wall battle. Regardless, at least I got these ten million yuan in start-up capital. They weren’t cruel enough to swindle that too; they weren’t excessively deceitful.”

Bitterness and self-mockery filled Bai Yishan’s eyes, showing that the hurtful words and actions from the Bai family members were significant in her efforts to establish the studio.

Having seen matters where wives were valued over mothers and siblings, Huo Sining, who had been bullied by her own relatives in her past life, understood Bai Yishan’s feelings and situation very well. So she smiled and comforted her, saying,

“Actually, I think this is pretty good. It’s true the Bai family’s assets no longer relate to you, but that’s the best part. Once your studio develops, even if they wish to meddle, they’ll have no reason. You call all the shots in this studio, and no matter how much money you make in the future, all they can do is watch enviously!”

Upon hearing this, Bai Yishan’s smile brightened a few shades. She pursed her lips and said firmly, “That’s right, no matter what, the studio is entirely my own. From now on, they’ll have no reason to covet or even divide up my possessions!”

At this point, she suddenly thought of something and turned to Huo Sining with a doubtful look, “Speaking of which, it’s been over a week since we came back from Pingzhou, right? What’s become of those jade roughs? I haven’t heard a peep about them. Surely they didn’t all turn out to be duds?”

“How could that be possible, you’ve seen the Gambling Stone Secret Technique my master taught me. I can’t boast a perfect rate or say that it’s a profit nine times out of ten, but succeeding half the time is manageable.”

Huo Sining smiled enigmatically, and led Bai Yishan to the basement, where she opened the safe. Seeing Huo Sining take out more than ten pieces of jadeite roughs from the box, Bai Yishan was instantly stunned.

She widened her eyes at the roughs, then turned to glance at Huo Sining, looking at her as if she were a monster, inadvertently swallowing hard.

“Are these… all cut from the roughs you bought?” Bai Yishan asked incredulously.

Huo Sining smiled and nodded. In fact, there were still about thirty roughs in the basement that hadn’t been worked.

After Huo Sining had cut a few roughs before, several pieces of Ice-type or better quality were revealed, making her realize that casually cutting stones like this was somewhat inappropriate.

Fearing it would be too startling, Huo Sining especially brought a bucket of water to the basement during the stone gambling period.

She re-wetted the jade roughs and, using Azure Pearl’s appraisal method, screened them once again.

She sorted out the jade roughs whose Azure Pearl’s light wasn’t particularly impressive and those that shone particularly brightly, then gambled the stones based on an average probability distribution.

Although this method was a bit troublesome, Huo Sining found it quite effective, at least the jade obtained didn’t catch the eye so much, and they weren’t all uniformly High Jade.

Even so, the batch of jade roughs she uncovered was still shocking enough.

At least Bai Yishan was stunned by the sight of these jade roughs.

There were Hibiscus Kind, golden silk type, Flower Green Species, sticky rice kind, and Ice-type, and there was even a piece of glassy Little Colorless, with these more than ten pieces of jade roughs all being at least mid-grade jadeite.

The colors ranged from duck egg green to Yang Green to holly green, some biased, some full-colored, varying in depth, but there was every shade.

Except for a few exceptions, most pieces weighed between three to four kilograms, with the heaviest reaching nearly ten kilograms.

Bai Yishan finally understood why Huo Sining didn’t want to gamble stones on the spot in Pingzhou but instead went to the trouble of transporting all the jade roughs to S City.

Such conspicuous results, even the Jade Gambling King might not be able to achieve, right?

Seeing this, Bai Yishan felt her heart bloom with joy, and her entire body couldn’t help but tremble with excitement.

Bai Yishan was now alone with no one to rely on, and could only start from scratch relying on her craftsmanship. But what did the Jade Studio rely on? Jade. Without the ability to gamble stones, she could only depend on buying jade roughs to maintain the studio’s operation.

However, with the development of the jade industry over the years, the roughs from Myanmar were dwindling, and fewer could yield jadeite when gambled, and the prices were getting higher and higher. She had no idea how long her studio could last or how far it could go.

Now, seeing the jade roughs uncovered by Huo Sining, her original worries and doubts disappeared in an instant, leaving only full-hearted excitement and joy.

The “Gambling Stone Secret Technique” Huo Sining spoke of wasn’t an exaggeration at all. These pieces were bought back by Huo Sining right before her eyes, and she was very clear about how much was spent on them.

A mere two or three million, yet the revealed jade roughs could support her studio for several years. Faced with such huge profits, how could Bai Yishan not be moved?

She even felt some regret that the agreement she signed with Huo Sining in Pingzhou was too cautious. Just because she wanted absolute control and management rights, she was not willing to co-own the studio with Huo Sining, and the two adopted a completely separate way of collaboration.

What a pity Huo Sining had such superb stone gambling skills; finding other vendors or even opening her own studio wouldn’t be a problem, and she wouldn’t even need to manage it herself but could hire a headhunting company to find a professional manager.

The more Bai Yishan thought about it, the more she felt she was too foolish. With Huo Sining, this super purchaser, she didn’t have to worry about the studio’s raw material procurement.

If she had just given Huo Sining less than half of the studio shares, she wouldn’t lose her absolute controlling stake and could tie Huo Sining to her ship.
