The Strongest Urban Son-in-law

Chapter 31: Chapter 29: Dissolving Stones

Li Linfeng felt both angry and amused, ”Lin Zhen, it seems my words are indeed true, you really have lived like a dog all these years, your judgement is terribly poor. This young man’s ability to brag is something I, Li Linfeng, have heard for the first time in my life. I’ve studied gambling stones for sixty years and wouldn’t dare to make such a claim!”

Ye Feng shook his head, ”You can’t do it, that’s because you are not capable. You and I are different, comparing me to you is utterly ridiculous...”

”You really are a madman, do you not know what you are talking about right now? If you really can find the most valuable jade in this gambling stone field, then today I, Li Linfeng, will take you as my master, kowtow to you, and offer you tea!” Li Linfeng said.

Ye Feng shook his head, ”Some words spoken impulsively come with a cost.”

”Hmph! I, Li Linfeng, always do what I say. If you can’t pick it out, don’t think about leaving here easily today!” Murderous intent appeared in Li Linfeng’s eyes.

”Grandpa, there’s no need to force such a fool; he will realize it when he’s on his deathbed!” At this moment, Li Xue’er joined Li Linfeng’s side, not even giving Ye Feng a glance.

At this time, Ye Feng already had a clear place in Li Xue’er’s heart, she thought Ye Feng was just an idiot.

”You are right, such idiots only fear when it’s time to die!” Li Linfeng’s anger subsided a bit, then he asked, ”Have you picked your raw stone?”

”I’ve picked it!” Li Xue’er confidently nodded her head, then said to the staff behind her, ”Bring it over!”

Soon, a cantaloupe-sized piece of jade raw stone was brought up.

”Grandpa, I’ve made my choice, it’s this one!” Li Xue’er confidently said.

”Let me check it for you!” Li Linfeng lifted the lamp, examined it carefully, then revealed a smile.

”Not bad, this stone, whether it’s the skin, the texture, or the touch, is very good, there’s a great chance of a fine jade emerging from it!” Li Linfeng evaluated.

At this moment, Lin Zhen anxiously looked at Ye Feng, ”Ye Feng, have you made your selection?”

Lin Zhen felt extremely embarrassed; after so many years, he hadn’t expected such a drastic change in Ye Feng’s personality.

Those words Ye Feng had said earlier, even he himself had almost not believed them, had he not known Ye Feng a bit, he might have been ready to concede.

”Kid, since you’ve made your selection, then bring it over and let everyone see!” Li Xue’er looked at Ye Feng with disdain.

Ye Feng ignored Li Xue’er and then walked over to the display cabinet, effortlessly picking up a watermelon-sized, 800,000 priced jade raw stone.

”This is the raw stone I’ve selected.” Subsequently, Ye Feng placed it on the table.

Everyone examined it carefully, Li Linfeng scoffed, ”Kid, you really don’t have much skill, this stone indeed has the potential to produce jade, but the probability is too small, even if it really does come out, the quantity will be small, you’re certain to lose!”

”Winning or losing will naturally become clear after the stone is cut.” Ye Feng still had a calm demeanor, his emotions had not changed from start to finish.

”Fine, call the Stone Cutting Master to start cutting!” Li Linfeng commanded.

Li Xue’er’s stone was cut first; the stone cutting machine started, everyone held their breath, fixated on the machine,

then a single cut was made.

The raw stone was split into two halves, then a streak of green light appeared, and everyone’s faces immediately showed excitement.

”It’s green! It’s turned green!” They were all immensely excited.

Li Linfeng immediately picked up the raw jade and assessed it before saying, ”Not bad, top quality ice jade, and not small in size either. This piece is worth at least twenty million!”

”Amazing, young lady, you truly inherit your grandfather’s flair. Truly a heroine of the Zhang Family!”

”The Li Family really is extraordinary, even the women are so capable. Deserving of being Lin Tian City’s foremost wealthy family!”

Hearing the crowd’s praise, Li Linfeng and Li Xue’er both wore proud smiles.

Li Xue’er, brimming with pride, looked at Ye Feng and asked indifferently, ”Did you see that? I carved out such a quality piece of jade; do you think there’s still any need for you to cut your stone?”

Ye Feng completely ignored Li Xue’er’s words and picked up the raw stone he had selected. He took out a pen and started drawing on the stone, and shortly after, he put down the pen.

”Cut it according to my drawing,” Ye Feng told the Stone Cutting Master.

Seeing this, the disdain in the crowd’s eyes intensified, and they started to sneer.

”Pretending, do you think just by drawing a bit, you can really carve out high-quality jade?”

”Not bad, with the quality Lady Li carved out, it’s almost unbeatable!” The crowd discussed.

Yet, Ye Feng remained calm, showing no sign of panic.

The stone cutting machine started up, and then, the first cut was made, following Ye Feng’s markings.

Just as the raw stone was cut open, a purple glow appeared before everyone’s eyes.

”How is this possible!”

Instantly, the entire venue was in uproar, everyone’s eyes wide with shock.

”Purple... purple... purple jade!” Li Xue’er and Li Linfeng both opened their mouths wide in disbelief.

With their years of experience, they had judged that Ye Feng’s stone could not possibly yield high-quality jade.

But now Ye Feng had indeed carved it out!

”Watermelon-sized purple jade, this... this must be worth hundreds of millions!” The crowd exclaimed in shock.

Ye Feng calmly said, ”I told you, the quality of the stones here isn’t very high. The highest quality is the Emperor Green. This purple jade is slightly inferior but wins in size, so naturally, its value is higher!”

”This... how is this possible?” Both Li Xue’er and Li Linfeng found it hard to accept.

One was watermelon-sized purple jade, and the other was fist-sized ice jade. The difference was clear, and obviously, Li Xue’er had lost, thoroughly lost.

”Hahaha~~” Lin Zhen burst into hearty laughter. ”Good, very good. Now everyone knows who won and who lost, right?”

Li Linfeng’s expression turned extremely ugly, and he stood rooted to the spot, completely speechless.

Lin Zhen looked at Li Linfeng and mocked, ”Didn’t you say that I’m regressing with age, that I’ve lived as poorly as a dog? Now, I return those words to you. Aren’t your eyes failing? Have you regressed so much that you lived as poorly as a dog?”

”You!” Li Linfeng’s body trembled slightly, as he struggled to maintain his composure.
