The Girl Who Married a Tycoon Husband After Disfigurement

Chapter 75: Bitter Rivals



Chapter 75

As the elder came into view, the people below became excited.

"It's Elder Zhang, I never expected him to be in Myanmar."

"No wonder we haven't heard from Elder Zhang for a long time."

"Elder Zhang is a legend in the gambling stone world. At the Gambling Stone Exchange Meeting two years ago, he singlehandedly won the bid for nine raw stones, and seven of them turned out to be jadeite, causing a great sensation at the time."

"As they say, even immortals find it hard to judge jade. Elder Zhang is simply a living immortal."

"Many people wanted to become his disciples, but unfortunately they were all rejected."

"You didn't know, did you? Elder Zhang has his own mine in Myanmar, and most of the raw stones at this Gambling Stone Exchange Meeting were transported from his mine."

"Elder Zhang is truly incredible, to actually own a mine in a place like Myanmar."

Listening to the discussions and the admiring gazes cast at him, the smile on Elder Zhang's face deepened. He raised his hand in a composed gesture, and the venue immediately fell silent. "I know everyone is eagerly anticipating the results of the bidding. Please look at the big screen."

As he spoke, the numbers of the raw stones and the bidding numbers of the merchants who won the bid started to scroll on the big screen.

Some were delighted, while others were saddened.

Ling Yue watched the scrolling screen, and seeing that she had won the bid for several raw stones she had bid on, she revealed a satisfied smile.

"Only the king of raw stones is left. I wonder who will win the bid."

"I also bid on that king of raw stones."

"I came just for the king of raw stones. I set my sights on it last year, and this year I'm going all in, either heaven or hell."

"If I win the bid for that king of raw stones, I'll reveal its quality right here on the spot."

With everyone's hopeful gaze, the screen finally displayed the number of the king of raw stones and the bidding number.

"It's 92, I noticed they've already won several bids."

"Who's 92? They're so powerful to have won so many bids."

Elder Zhang waited until the results were announced on the big screen, then smiled and scanned the crowd. "Unexpectedly, someone has won the bid for the king of raw stones. May this esteemed guest please stand up and let us all get to know you?"

Upon hearing this, everyone curiously looked around, wanting to know who 92 was. Who had such boldness? They should know that the king of raw stones cost several billion to win the bid for.

Although those present were not short of money, spending a few billion to bid for a raw stone was not something everyone had the courage for. Gambling on stones carried huge risks: you could become rich overnight, or lose your entire fortune.

A tall and slender figure slowly stood up. Ling Yue did not mind that everyone now knew she was 92, because she planned to reveal the quality of the stone on the spot, to have a public outlet for the wealth she had extracted from Dan Tuo.

Upon seeing Ling Yue, everyone revealed expressions of surprise and disbelief.

"It's actually a woman. Although I can't see her face, I can affirm that she's definitely not very old."

"I wonder which family's young lady has such boldness."

"If that king of raw stones doesn't turn out well, I wonder if she'll cry?"

Elder Zhang's gaze fell on Ling Yue's face, showing a slight gentle smile, but his eyes flashed with a hint of sharp coldness. "This young friend has quite the boldness. Do you intend to reveal the quality on the spot?"

Ling Yue met Elder Zhang's gaze with a faint smile, her demeanor dignified and arrogant. "Of course!" She never expected this Elder Zhang to be a cultivator. It seemed this world was more complicated than she had imagined.

Elder Zhang extended his thumb approvingly and smiled at Ling Yue. "Great boldness! Then when the bidding for the remaining few raw stones is done, I'll arrange for a master to help you reveal the quality." This young lady was definitely not a simple person.

"Sure." Ling Yue nodded slightly with a faint smile and sat down.

"Next, we will bid for three raw stones. Everyone, please look!" As Elder Zhang spoke, two workers pushed a cart onto the stage with three raw stones of varying sizes.

"First, we will bid for Raw Stone No. 1. This raw stone is from the Old Quarry of Cheebyay, with a predominant yellowish-gray skin and few cracks. You should all know that the Old Quarry of Cheebyay often produces blue patterns with good luster. Interested guests shouldn't miss this opportunity. The starting bid for this raw stone is 500,000, with unlimited increments."

"600,000!"

"650,000!" People immediately started bidding at the venue.

Ling Yue was not interested in the three raw stones on stage. Although they all contained jadeite, one of them did not have very good quality.

"Yue Yue, my grandfather wants to ask you which raw stone is more worth bidding on." Tang Xin leaned over and whispered to Ling Yue. After spending the past two days together, her relationship with Yue Yue had become even better than before.

"Bid on No. 2," Ling Yue replied. Of the three raw stones, No. 2 had the most concentrated spiritual energy, undoubtedly an extraordinary piece of jadeite.

"Okay, thank you Yue Yue!" Tang Xin happily turned to tell Old Mr. Tang Ling Yue's suggestion.

Old Mr. Tang smiled at Ling Yue. He had also favored Raw Stone No. 2, so he wanted to ask for Ling Yue's opinion. Of course, if she also wanted No. 2, he would not compete with her, but he would not let others have it either.

Raw Stone No. 1 was quickly won with a bid of 3 million.

"Next, we will start the bidding for Raw Stone No. 2. This raw stone is from the Mong Mit quarry, with a black schist skin. The starting bid is 500,000."

"550,000!"

"600,000!"

"610,000!"

The bidding for Raw Stone No. 2 was not as intense as for No. 1. Apart from some merchants who were particularly familiar with raw stones from the Mong Mit quarry, not many people bid.

Raw stones from the Mong Mit quarry generally had poorer luster and often contained black fibers or white mists, so many did not dare take the risk.

"1 million!" Old Mr. Tang raised the number plate in his hand. He had always been decisive in his actions. As long as he set his sights on something, he would not hesitate. This was also the reason why he had been able to build such a large fortune in just a few decades.

"1.01 million!"

Old Mr. Tang followed the voice and saw it was his sworn enemy. He frowned slightly. "2 million!"

"2.01 million!" His opponent gave Old Mr. Tang a provocative smile.

"3 million!" For this raw stone, Old Mr. Tang was determined to win it.

"3.01 million!"

Old Mr. Tang gritted his teeth and turned to look at Ling Yue. Seeing her give a slight nod, he raised the number plate in his hand. "10 million!" If his opponent continued, he would give up on this raw stone.

His opponent smiled meaningfully and gestured for Old Mr. Tang to go ahead. He did not have high expectations for this raw stone. His bidding against Old Mr. Tang was simply to annoy him, since Tang's jewelry store had always done better business than his.
