Chapter 10 Gamble on Stones Pt. 2

"Thank you." Murong Xue wriggled out of Shangguan Mo's grip inadvertently. She didn't ask him why. There was no need for people who were of high social status like him to ask for anything from her.

After loosening his grip, Shangguan Mo was a little unwilling. Murong Xue's thin waist was as warm as jade. It was so soft. A strange feeling spread in his mind. A glimpse of her just now made him feel that he seemed to have met her before. He flipped in his heart.

At this moment, Murong Xue wore a light blue embroidered one-piece dress, making her naturally beautiful face become brighter and smoother. Her natural face became elegant and unique. Her natural pure red face let out sparkling light. The bright eyes beneath her slightly curved eyebrows were glittering. Shangguan Mo was shocked heavily in his mind. His heart was beating out of his control.

"Mo, who is she?" The female partner beside Shangguan Mo just now walked to him fast. Her voice was so high-pitched. It seemed that she was interrogating him angrily as if she had seen the other woman.

"Qin Mengya, I don't give you the right to mind my business." Qin Mengya was the daughter of the Qin Family in the capital of the country. It could also be counted as an old and highly respected family. Of course, it couldn't be compared with the Shangguan Family. If it were not for the fact that Grandfather Qin made friends with the Shangguan Family and that she acted like a spoiled child to her grandfather to ask for coming here with Shangguan Mo stubbornly, he definitely wouldn't let her come. But he just let her stand by his side. Shangguan Mo ignored her existence completely.

When Qin Mengya saw Shangguan Mo's sharp eyes, she drew back out of fear. She was not pretending. She was really afraid of him. It could be said that there was nobody in the world who could offend him not only because of his extremely high social status but also because of his own unpredictable power.

Qin Mengya had always remembered her grandfather's warning that she couldn't mess with Shangguan Mo. Otherwise, the whole Qin Family could not save her. She knew that Shangguan Mo was powerful all the time. Because of this, she had a crush on him. Who didn't like a strong man? She was the same, too. She barely approached him by relying on her grandfather's friendship with his family. How could she let another woman destroy it?

She was talking with him just now. But then she saw that he suddenly walked to a girl and held her hands. A feeling of crisis surged in her heart. She had never seen a person who could approach Shangguan Mo. Nor could she.

"Name?" Shangguan Mo asked.

"What?" Murong Xue murmured.

"Name?" Shangguan Mo asked again.

"Murong Xue." Murong Xue answered subconsciously. Suddenly, she felt a little uneasy. She was acting like a gold digger, wasn't she?

"Shangguan Mo." Actually, Murong Xue didn’t ask his name. Murong Xue thought that she didn't know what this mogul was thinking.

Qin Mengya aside could only stare at Murong Xue with hatred. She was thinking of numerous kinds of ways to torture Murong Xue in her mind. How dare she seduce Mo! She had a thousand ways to make her disappear. There wasn't any big shot in A province who she didn’t dare to offend. For the Qin Family, it was only a piece of cake.

Looking at Qin Mengya's facial expression, Murong Xue knew that she made her unhappy. Shangguan Mo's carelessness made her be hated.

"Qin Mengya, stop your small thoughts. You know my temper." Of course, Shangguan Mo saw Qin Mengya's facial expression, too. So he warned her.

"Mo, how could I have any small thought? Don't you know me since we have known each other for so long? But, Mo, you should pay attention to those indecent people. You do know that some people come here just for the Shangguan Family." After Qin Mengya finished, she had a glance at Murong Xue intentionally. But she stopped her thought of torturing Murong Xue. She didn’t dare to mess with Shangguan Mo. After all, Shangguan Mo wouldn't stay too long in A province. They shouldn't come into contact with each other in the future.

"Well, Mr. Shangguan, I will not bother you. I will go to see the raw material." Murong Xue said cautiously. She knew that she could not mess with such a mogul. It was better for her to stay away from him. She would repay his kindness in the future. Before he answered her, she picked up the piece of raw material on which she used her perspective function just now. There was good stuff inside that piece of raw material. She couldn't miss it easily.

Shangguan Mo looked at Murong Xue's receding figure. He didn't ask her to stay. It seemed that black ink circles were spreading in his narrow eyes.

Then, Murong Xue observed several pieces of raw materials again. But she didn't find good ones. She could not help feeling a little disappointed. Directly, she didn't select them at all. She casually picked up five pieces of raw materials, which included the first one in the beginning. She wanted to cut it to know what it was inside. She picked up more to avoid others' attention.

"Boss, I will buy these several pieces of raw materials. Please calculate the total price." Murong Xue asked the servant in the raw material field to put the raw material at the cashier desk.

This boss of the raw material field was an ordinary middle-aged man who was called Mr. Wang by everyone. He was a little fat. His skin was a little black. Probably he often ran around. He was good-looking. He looked like an honest person.

When Mr. Wang saw her, a little girl, he knew that she was the daughter of a rich family who came out to play. Then he looked at the several pieces of raw materials that she picked up. All of them looked so bad. And some of them had cracks. She looked like a novice. But the raw materials in his shop were all priced clearly, and he would not cheat such a little girl. After all, long-term management relied on honesty. Of course, he would not tell this little girl, either. Who could be so stupid as to miss the chance to earn money?

"The price of the piles of raw materials that you selected was 2,000 yuan one kilogram. All of them were 380 kilograms. So the total price is 760 thousand yuan. Do you pay in cash or by bank transfer?" Mr. Wang asked.

"By bank transfer." Murong Xue answered straightly. Then she directly transferred 760 thousand yuan to Mr. Wang's account from her bank card. In less than two minutes, Mr. Wang said that he had received the money.

"May I ask whether you want to cut the stones or not?"

"Of course. Cut them." Murong Xue picked up the first raw material that she selected in the beginning. Then she selected several raw materials that were cheap and valueless. She did this only to deceive the public. Also, she wanted to know whether the interior of the first raw material was the same as what she had seen by using her perspective function.

Murong Xue walked to the man who cut the stones. She found that many people were gathering around here. It turned out that the man was cutting the stone. The owner of this raw material was a middle-aged fat man. He was well-dressed, so he might be a jade merchant. As the powder that was cut by the stone-cutting machine became more and more, the atmosphere on the scene became tenser and tenser. That middle-aged fat man was also using the tissue to wipe his sweat nervously.

Needless to say, the fun of cutting stone lay in the beating of the heart. It could only be said that this man had bad luck. Everybody was saying that this raw material looked like a good one. But they found that the stone material beneath broke. There wasn't any green color. It was not green at all. There was only one layer of yellow stone whose texture was just like that of ice. It was only green on the surface.
