Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Playing Games? Can You Afford It? [3000 bonus Chapters for recommendations]

Seeing the two Jade Plates, Lu Cheng suddenly burst into laughter: ”Lu Xiaobu, you’ve lost! This...”

Upon hearing Lu Cheng’s words, everyone at the scene immediately frowned.

Zhou Jingyuan and the others’ faces had already darkened.

They knew they had been schemed against!

Old Man Wu snorted heavily.

Although he understood what was meant, since he was invited to be the judge, what was the meaning of this overstepping now?

Frightened, Qi Xingdong quickly held back Lu Cheng: ”Don’t talk nonsense, listen to Old Man Wu.”

He knew well that although Old Man Wu’s antique appraisal skills were high, he could be somewhat narrow-minded.

Only then did Lu Cheng realize his mistake and hurriedly shut his mouth.

Old Man Wu looked over the two Jade Plates, nodded, and said: ”They are late Qing dynasty white jade with remaining skin, exquisitely carved Jade Plates. The charm is in their uniquely peculiar carving pattern, there should only be these two in the world currently, the total value of 3.7 million is quite reasonable.”

However, he then shifted tone: ”But, the gambling game was initially for one antique, not a set. In terms of the gamble, you indeed lost.”

Hearing this.

”You, Old Man Wu, being a respected elder, are also playing word games?” Zhou Jingyuan’s face darkened.

A few Shadow tactics are nothing, if truly out-skilled, losing is just losing!

But it’s different when someone uses these kinds of petty schemes!

”Old Man Wu, the Qi Family might be formidable, but the Lu Family isn’t so easily bullied either, right?” Liang Lan snorted coldly.

Old Man Wu squinted his eyes: ”Young lady, mind your words. One is one, two is two. I am the judge, not the rules maker, I’m not obligated to manage these.”

He also had his own calculations, Qi Xingdong’s father is also a collector of antiques, for him, of course, it’s best to maintain a good relationship with the Qi Family.

”You!” Liang Lan and the others were fuming.

And the rich second generations suddenly grinned from ear to ear, their revenge was finally served!

Lu Cheng burst out laughing: ”Awesome, I told you that you lost, hurry up and bring out the Shadow.”

Qi Xingdong, having gained an advantage, still acted coy: ”Young Master Lu, I told you before, when coming out to play, don’t mind the money, or can’t Young Master Lu afford to lose?”

That was really too much!

”Lose? I don’t think so. It’s clearly you guys who lost.”

Lu Xiaobu suddenly laughed.

Just like before at the press conference, that confident smile under everyone’s mocking gazes.

Scheme against me?

Play petty tricks with me?

My tricks, you probably can’t afford to play!

”How so? Lu Xiaobu, are you intending to renege?” Lu Cheng darkened his face.

”Young Master Lu, that was your mistake,” Qi Xingdong frowned.

Old Man Wu’s face also looked grim: ”Young man, are you questioning my judgment? You can take this thing to any appraisal center for verification, and if I’m wrong, I will compensate for the cost!”

”Your judgment indeed isn’t great, you didn’t look carefully.”

Lu Xiaobu’s lips slightly curved up, filled with disdain: ”Today, I will teach you what it means to come out and play, and not care about the money.”

He picked up the Jade Plates, one in each hand.

Then...

He released his left hand...

Crack!

Bang!

The Jade Plate in his left hand smashed onto the ground, shattering instantly!

Now!

The only two Jade Plates became the only one.

Everyone’s eyes widened like bells!

Lu Cheng was stunned!

Qi Xingdong stiffened!

Old Man Wu went crazy!

Liang Lan fainted!

Wu Qianmin collapsed!

Zhou Jingyuan went mad!

Li Qiang was flabbergasted!

Especially the antique shop owner, he, knelt down!

They all couldn’t believe it...

Even terrified, watching this scene!

Holy shit, what did they just see?

An antique Jade Plate worth 1.35 million, just like that, smashed?

Even though I knew you were a wastrel, I didn’t expect you to waste like this!

Damn, you must be crazy!

To you, what exactly is money?

”I just said, your vision sucks. Why don’t you take another look now, how much do you think this is worth? I think two million should be quite easy!”

Lu Xiaobu, holding the remaining Jade Plate in his right hand, asked with disdain in his eyes.

Playing with me?

Do you think you can afford to play?

”Uh...”

”Damn!”

The entire antique shop erupted in terrified cries!

They understood!

Everyone freaking understood!

Just now Old Wu said, there are only these two uniquely patterned Jade Plates in the world, so together they are worth 3.7 million!

So...

Here comes the problem...

Now, there’s only one left!

How much is this one now?

Rare things are more valuable!

Two million?!

That’d be at least three million and up!

The other side can afford only two million max!

Isn’t that a win then?

”Young Master Bu is freaking awesome! A stroke of genius, awesomely explosive!”

Li Qiang shouted out immediately.

Liang Lan also smiled, ”Rare things are valuable. Breaking one makes the other appreciate in value, and also winning back another inkstone worth two million, Young Master is brilliant with this move!”

Zhou Jingyuan however, shook her head and bitterly smiled, ”How could you even think of using such a method? I... I don’t even know what to say.”

Old Wu was furious, he pointed at Lu Xiaobu and roared, ”This is a waste of a treasure! Such fine pieces are rare in the world, and you actually broke another one?!”

”So what? I bought it myself, can’t I smash it? Just a plate. It’s antiques for you, but for me, it’s just trivial.”

Lu Xiaobu disclosed a hint of disdain: ”Remember your words, you’re just a referee, not the rule-maker! Get lost!”

Hearing this, Old Wu’s face turned red, holding his rage yet speechless!

His own words were thrown right back at him.

What could he say?!

Does he even have the right to say anything?!

”This is cheating!”

At this moment, Qi Xingdong’s eyes were red!

If he loses, he must give the other party his Songhua stone inkstone.

His dad would beat him to death!

”Come out and play, don’t care about the money, what? You want to cheat? Why not ask your Old Wu, who won?!”

Lu Xiaobu looked at Qi Xingdong teasingly.

He returned Qi Xingdong’s earlier words back to him exactly.

Qi Xingdong felt his face was slapped hard, burning with pain!

Previously, what made him most confident and happiest was watching others unknowingly fall into his traps.

But now, he fell into his own trap, how could he not feel terrible?

It’s the same for Old Wu, both of them were harshly slapped by their own words!

”Zhang Meng, take our stuff, let’s go. Anyone who talks nonsense, just smash this inkstone on their head! Make it resonate!”

Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and turned around to leave.

Zhang Meng came to Qi Xingdong, forcefully pried open his hand, took the Songhua stone inkstone, and followed Lu Xiaobu to leave.

No one else dared to stop them!

They just smashed a Jade Plate worth over a million.

What’s the big deal with smashing an inkstone worth over two million?!

And just like that...

Lu Xiaobu and his group smoothly walked out...

Despite the bodyguards of all the rich second generations present at the doorway, no one dared to block their path!

An aura of dominance naturally emerged!
