Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 791: Chapter 787 Sandwich Cookies

A young junior should keep a low profile and behave modestly. Such ostentatious behavior made these experienced gamblers uncomfortable, eagerly hoping that Huo Sining would gamble away her reputation. It would serve as a lesson and deter her from acting so arrogantly next time.

These old men were already feeling a blow to their pride when Huo Sining bet on the sand hole and won. Now, suspecting this Black Oosh might be fake rough stone, they felt a sense of satisfaction.

What did this prove? It proved that even Huo Sining, no matter how skilled, could make mistakes!

A fake rough stone, and she dared to cut it in front of so many people. Once the stone was cut open and the rough stone’s flaws were revealed, where would this young lady hide her face?

These old men’s eyes gleamed with schadenfreude, almost as if they could foresee Huo Sining’s embarrassing downfall.

Although Yang Wen also disliked Huo Sining’s style, he wasn’t as petty, especially since Huo Sining had promised him a set of Gold-threaded Jadeite products for later. Therefore, his opinion of Huo Sining was still fairly positive.

Nevertheless, he also felt that Huo Sining’s rise had been too fast. She had had it too easy on the road of stone gambling, without experiencing much adversity. So, he thought an experience like this could be a good lesson for the girl to learn from her mistakes.

Therefore, he didn’t warn Huo Sining, seemingly waiting to see how the girl would handle herself after a fall.

Noticing the expressions of Yang Wen and a few others, Huo Sining’s eyes flickered, and a smile played on her lips. At this point, Zhong Zifan’s first cut had reached three to four inches deep, almost brushing against the block of rough stone.

”Stop!” Huo Sining quickly spoke up, signaling Zhong Zifan to halt.

Zhong Zifan immediately stopped his movement, pulling the rough stone out of the grinding wheel.

Huo Sining looked at the cut on the rough stone. The glue used by the forger was quite effective; the rough stone had been cut halfway, yet these two pieces of Black Oosh waste were still firmly stuck together without any signs of separation.

”Alright, switch to the other side,” Huo Sining nodded and motioned for Zhong Zifan to start cutting from the other half.

Zhong Zifan’s actions were swift, especially since he had just had a round of experience. Familiar with the procedure after the first attempt, the second cut was done with much more ease, and soon, the blade went down again.

The sound of the grinding wheel during stone cutting was similar to that during the first cut. While Yang Wen and the others had merely speculated before, this situation seemed to confirm their suspicions—it looked like the rough stone was indeed fake.

They exchanged looks with one another, their expressions tacitly understanding.

It seemed that Huo Sining was definitely going to take a fall this time!

The second cut reached the same depth, and this time, without waiting for Huo Sining to call out, Zhong Zifan stopped on his own. He looked up at Huo Sining and asked, ”What should we do next?”

Huo Sining’s gaze wandered over the faces of those around her, her lips curving into a smile as she said, ”Pull out the rough stone first, then we’ll see!”

Zhong Zifan, without any doubts, did as he was told, turning off the stone cutting machine and pulling the rough stone out from the grinding wheel.

Whether he didn’t hold it steady or for some other reason, as he was pulling out the two pieces of the rough stone, which had been nearly cut in half and were about to separate, suddenly loosened. He had been holding one side of the rough stone and didn’t have time to react. He could only watch in dismay as the other half fell during the pulling motion.

The complete raw stone had actually split into two, turning into two pieces.

That was bad enough, but inside this rough stone, a greyish-white brick-sized piece was revealed—similar in size to two fists bunched together and resembling a cobblestone!

Faced with such a twist, the onlookers at the scene were caught off guard, staring agape at the rough stone that had split not into two, but into three pieces on the stage.

What—what happened here?

Zhong Zifan and Liao Song’s complexions turned instantly pale. Although they were somewhat prepared and knew that the Hei Wusha (Black Oosh) was fake material, Huo Sining hadn’t explained in detail. They had misunderstood, thinking that although the stone was fake, the work had been done solely on the surface, simulating a Pine Flower Python Belt and red patches. But they had never expected that the rough stone turned out to be a ”sandwich cookie”!

It was actually a second-hand rough stone that had been previously cut! One could tell at a glance that the jadeite inside had been dug out, leaving behind an empty shell with a brick-sized piece stuffed inside. While such fraud wasn’t rare in gambling on stones, it was still shocking and unbelievable that a stone like this was bought by the one called the Mysterious Miss Huo, a stone gamble expert!

A buzz rose from the crowd below. Some people immediately reacted, taking out their phones to photograph the three pieces of waste material on the stage, uploading the images online, and starting to post.

—Shocking! Mysterious Miss Huo encountered fake rough stone in a live stone cutting in Fuzhou!

—Even a gamble expert can make a mistake, live reveal of Mysterious Miss Huo’s stone cutting fiasco in Fuzhou!

—Mysterious Miss Huo meets her Waterloo, the red-spotted Black Oosh turns out to be a sandwich cookie!

Those who enjoyed watching the commotion didn’t mind escalating it, their eyes gleaming as they looked at the waste material on the stage, the light of gossip flickering in their eyes.

Some people simultaneously let out sighs of lament.

”So much for the so-called Mysterious Miss Huo, she’s just all talk. She made such a big show and it turns out to be a fake rough stone. How embarrassing!”

”Exactly, she can’t even recognize a fake rough stone and yet dares to call herself a stone gamble expert. It’s laughable enough to make people’s teeth fall out!”

”It’s hilarious, cutting a fake rough stone in front of so many people. Now I’m curious to see how this Miss Huo is going to save face!”

”What I’m concerned about now is where this fake rough stone came from. This woman came out of Dianshifang, so didn’t this fake piece originate there? If that’s the case, can the merchandise from Dianshifang still be trusted? I certainly wouldn’t dare buy it. What if I end up with a fake stone? That would be a disaster!”

”Indeed, you couldn’t even pay me to take such material!”

”Dianshifang has really shot themselves in the foot this time. I wonder if they can still stay in business after today!”

”...”

Zhong Zifan and Liao Song could feel the weight of the comments from the crowd, and both turned ashen. Their bodies tensed up, especially Zhong Zifan, who stared blankly ahead, unable to focus. His mind was a blank slate, with only two words echoing inside: It’s over!
