Stepped Over Her Vicious Stepsister To Become The True Bigshot! Chapter 139

139 Stone Gambling Again

After Gu Man paid, Du Fei wrapped the bowl in newspaper and placed it in a red plastic bag before handing it to Gu Man.

Jiang Yuan couldn’t stand it anymore. “Boss, you’re too perfunctory. We just paid 10,000 yuan, but your packaging is so simple.”

Jiang Yi thought to herself, The packaging is already so bad, how can it be real? At least in Du Fei’s eyes, this thing is not worth it.

Du Fei was happy that he had made a deal as soon as he opened the stall. He did not care about Jiang Yi’s words and said righteously, “This is called keeping a low profile, understand?”

Anyway, he would not say anything even if he was beaten to death because he did not think highly of this broken bowl.

Gu Man didn’t care. She held the bag steadily and said to Jiang Yi, “Let’s go elsewhere to take a look.”

As they walked, Jiang Yi said, “You’re too impulsive. At least take a few more glances. Look at how happy that Boss Du is. You can tell that this item is worthless. Bosses are very smart. Don’t fall for it.”

“He’s smart? I think he’s stupid,” Gu Man said with a smile.

She took a look and knew that this was a real Ming Dynasty Dragon-Patterned Bowl. The market price should not be lower than two million. She wondered if Du Fei would vomit blood if he knew.

“How can a boss be stupid? I don’t know how he’s laughing at the two of us in his heart.” Jiang Yi felt that Gu Man had spent her ten thousand yuan wrongly.

“Do you usually earn money from antiques?”

When Jiang Yi heard Gu Man suddenly ask this, he immediately said awkwardly, “I can’t earn much. This market is too chaotic. It’s good that I don’t lose money.”

“In that case, listen to me tonight,” Gu Man said seriously to Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi nodded for no reason.

After taking a few steps, Jiang Yi reacted. “You know how to appraise?”

Gu Man said without hesitation, “Yes.”

“You’ve specially learned it?”

“Talent.”

When Jiang Yi heard this, he was instantly speechless. Talent was really mysterious.

“Then, it’s up to you tonight.” Jiang Yi thought that since he was also half guessing and half relying on luck, he would give it a try.

After walking for more than half an hour, she did not see anything good. Jiang Yi suggested, “Let’s go take a look at the jade. There is some stone gambling there that we can take a look at. Otherwise, we’ll return empty-handed.”

“The stalls on the street are all selling raw stones. There won’t be any good stones.” Gu Man frowned. The first time she came to the ghost market, she had helped an uncle pick a raw stone. Although he had won the bet, it was only ordinary jade.

However, these raw stones were also cheap. They could be bet on for a few hundred yuan, unlike at auctions where they would start at a few hundred thousand yuan.

However, Jiang Yi said excitedly, “Let’s go take a look. There might be good stuff today. It’s fun to gamble.”

The two of them squatted by a pile of raw stones marked 200 yuan each. Jiang Yi said, “These stones are very dirty. I’ll pick them. Just nod your head.”

Hence, Jiang Yi asked Gu Man when he saw some stones that might have something. Gu Man kept shaking her head.

Gu Man also focused her spiritual power on the pile of stones. There were very few stones with jade. Even if there were, they were ordinary jade and their connection with Gu Man was very weak. Gu Man felt that this pile of stones was not worth her using her spiritual power, but she did not want Jiang Yi to return empty-handed.

Finally, she sensed something in a tiny stone among a pile of stones. Gu Man pointed at the stone. “Jiang Yi, bring that stone over.”

Jiang Yi followed Gu Man’s direction and picked up a small gray stone with cracks on the surface. He turned around and asked Gu Man suspiciously, “This?”

“Yes.”

“Are you sure?”

Jiang Yi specially looked at the stone again. He had specially studied how to choose raw jade materials. Although there were many standards for stones with jade, there were only a few standards for stones without jade. For example, it was almost impossible for a stone with a cracked surface to have good jade.

This stone hit this standard, but Gu Man specified that she wanted it.

“That’s it.” Gu Man did not hesitate.

Someone at the side burst out laughing. Then, an old voice came from above. “The two little children haven’t even had their hair fully grown yet and they want to make a fortune from stone gambling. How naive.”

Jiang Yi wanted to look up and retort, but Gu Man said calmly, “Don’t worry about him.”

He was taking advantage of his seniority, it would be stupid to talk to him.
