Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1343: Chapter 1338: Starlight

There are many varieties of jadeite. In the lower-grade jadeite, besides Hibiscus Kind, dry green species, and oily green species, there is also a golden silk type.

The golden silk type jadeite has vivid and bright green, making one feel as if it contains golden light, arranged intermittently in strands, and is quite revered due to its good transparency.

The golden silk type jadeite does not actually contain gold threads; it’s due to the refraction of light.

However, when Huo Sining was in Mindong, at Zhong Zifan’s jadeite shop, she indeed discovered a piece of gold-threaded jadeite. That piece wasn’t of the golden silk type but slightly superior to ice seed jadeite, though it hadn’t reached the level of high ice type jadeite.

The color and transparency of that gold-threaded jadeite were decent; it was called gold-threaded jadeite because the emerald green on the four-edged jade entwined with tiny sparkles.

Indeed, the tiny sparkles within this piece of ice-type jadeite were not jadeite impurities, but gold—pure, radiant 24K gold!

Those speckles of gold shine unabashedly with aggressive brightness, hidden amidst the green, akin to the rising sun, dazzlingly golden, making it hard to look at directly.

When this piece of gold-threaded jadeite emerged, it caused quite a sensation, but now the jadeite in Huo Sining’s hand intriguingly resembles that previous gold-threaded jadeite.

First, it is not low-grade jadeite, but nephrite jadeite. The texture is translucent, the color vivid, and the transparency excellent—such nephrite jadeite is considered a popular type among high-grade jadeites;

Secondly, the silver dots within the jadeite—Huo Sining is sure they are indeed mineral silver, and pure silver.

This is not jade with silver, but silver ore accidentally fused into the jade when it initially formed. This natural silver-inlaid jade, even Huo Sining is witnessing for the first time.

She doused the jade with clear water, and the dazzling glimmer akin to stars reflected from the green jade instantly stunned the manager standing nearby.

”It’s beautiful!” The manager murmured, ”Truly unbelievable, I have never heard of such beautiful silver within jadeite.”

Originally, nephrite jadeite is not particularly high-end, but with these silver points, the price of this jade would increase considerably.

This piece of jade is already so radiant without polishing; if processed into jewelry, it will surely sparkle brilliantly in the light!

Such jewelry is noble, elegant, and exceptionally unique, sure to be favored by distinguished ladies, because the jadeite contains not other mineral impurities, but pure silver!

Huo Sining roughly estimated that if Yan Feng processes it, crafting a pair of bracelets and four to five pendants wouldn’t be an issue. Including the leftover scraps for necklaces and ring faces, this material’s value is at least five million.

In half an hour, Huo Sining had fully polished the entire piece of nephrite jadeite.

She weighed the rough material in her hand to estimate its value.

The whole rough piece weighed less than a kilogram, about a pound and a half. Under the sunlight, the jade’s starlight was so dazzling it was hard to keep one’s eyes open.

The manager’s expression was grave as he kept his eyes fixed on the piece of jade in Huo Sining’s hand.

Seeing Huo Sining finished and preparing to return to the tea house, he hurriedly grabbed her arm in a panic.

Having her arm unexpectedly seized by the manager, a flash of vigilance appeared in Huo Sining’s eyes.

After all, she was currently not in the Mainland but in New York, though Gu Xu and Ouyang Jun were in the tea house, this courtyard was still some distance from the tea house. If this manager intended to snatch the jade from her...

”Manager, if I recall correctly, you previously said that the rough materials here, whether they slice successfully or fail, have nothing to do with your shop!” Huo Sining said coldly.

Seeing the somber and wary look in Huo Sining’s eyes, the manager realized she misunderstood him and hurriedly released her arm.

His face carried a deep expression of annoyance as he bitterly smiled:

”Miss, you misunderstood. I wanted to inform you that our tea house is an affiliated industry of Li Family Manor, under the Li Group. In fact, our group headquarters has an independent jewelry company. If you want to sell this jadeite, I can immediately call someone to evaluate it, ensuring the price is very reasonable, so you won’t suffer a loss!”

The manager now felt like crying; if he knew such a good jade could be cut from this stepping stone, he would never have let Huo Sining take it.

But now is not the time for tears; his urgent task is to prevent Huo Sining from leaving the tea house. Such good jade roughs, if they slip from his hands, his superiors would blame him, a burden he cannot bear.

”Li Group?”

Upon hearing the name, Huo Sining couldn’t help but frown. If she remembered correctly, she seemed to vaguely recall that Xing Jiaojiao’s boyfriend Li Hang was also an heir to some Li Group. How is this Li Group different from Liuli’s Li Group?

Thinking of this, Huo Sining couldn’t help but ask, ”Your tea house belongs to the Li Group? What is the relationship between your Li Group and Liuli’s Li family?”

This Mainland woman knows about Liuli’s Li Group? The manager’s eyes showed a hint of surprise as he solemnly said: ”Not hiding from you, Miss, the two Li Groups are actually quite related.”

”During the domestic war in Huaxia Country, the situation was unstable. Our chairman was just around twenty years of age then. He had a younger brother, both wanted to venture out and avoid trouble, but they disagreed on where to go.”

”Our chairman eventually chose to sail across the ocean to America, where he later settled roots. The chairman’s younger brother opted to head to Liuli.”

”Hence, the Li Group you mentioned in Liuli was established by our chairman’s brother, quite significantly connected.”

Huo Sining was momentarily speechless.

In the Imperial Capital, Li Hang had suffered at her hands, even Xing Jiaojiao was disciplined by her, only making that couple likely resent her intensely.

Huo Sining never imagined now she inadvertently stumbled into the Li family’s hub.

Huo Sining was momentarily speechless, what is this called? An unavoidable confrontation?

Though this Li Group and Liuli’s Li Group may not have strong connections, because Huo Sining doesn’t have a good impression of Li Hang and Xing Jiaojiao, upon knowing the tea house is related to this Li family name, a natural sense of rejection arose within her. She subconsciously adopted a defensive stance.
