Chapter 819: Gloating

Meng Feifei sat alone on the second floor, lost in thought, while Mao Rui glanced at her expression and went downstairs with a gloomy look.

Gu Lingling was also watching Old Liu cutting the stone with curiosity.

Today was the first day, and it was said that several big clients were rushing over from out of town, so the stones being cut weren’t particularly large.

"This seems like a good sign." After one stone was revealed, the buyer’s face lit up with a smile, and Old Liu said with a laugh, "See, you listened to me earlier, and now the one smiling is you."

Gu Lingling shrugged, "This only proves that fate has nothing to do with me."

Old Liu, "..."

This little girl has quite an open view.

"Come, let’s take a look at your few small stones?" Through this interaction, Old Liu developed a good impression of Gu Lingling and said to her with a smile, "Let’s see if what you’ve chosen has anything good."

"Alright then." Gu Lingling was about to decline, but seeing Old Liu’s enthusiasm, she smiled and agreed.

Everyone else was also curious to see what this little girl, who had Old Liu accompanying her the entire time, would choose, so they gathered around.

Gu Lingling had chosen five stones slightly larger in size, spending more than six hundred yuan of Yang Yunhai’s money in total. As the first stone was handled, the stone-cutting master carefully cut it open.

"Ah!"

Everyone’s hearts, which they were holding high, dropped back down.

It was just an ordinary stone, with nothing inside, a waste of over sixty yuan.

Everyone couldn’t help shaking their heads.

The second stone was slightly larger than the first, and as soon as it was slightly cut open, the green inside was visible.

"Could it be full green?" someone murmured.

That would really be a big profit.

This piece had been priced at over three hundred earlier, and Old Liu had waived the small change for this little girl, leaving it at three hundred yuan.

But if it came out full green, Old Liu would probably cry.

Gu Lingling was also watching with curiosity.

"Haha, not bad, it’s still worth the money." But it wasn’t what they expected, and the quality was mediocre, "It can make a pair of bracelets, which would look good on older people."

Gu Lingling, "..."

Why did it feel like Old Liu was gloating?

"It’s alright, it’s alright, you still have three more stones?" the gloating Old Liu said with a smile, "Maybe later you’ll get a full-color piece."

Gu Lingling rolled her eyes at him.

Just because she didn’t follow his advice, did he have to gloat because she didn’t get anything?

"Let’s cut this one." Gu Lingling pointed to the largest one she had.

This was the piece Brother Yang had suggested she buy.

"Alright." Old Liu said with a smile, "If it turns out to be full color, whatever you want to make, we’ll make it for you at the Treasure House, and we won’t charge you labor costs, how does that sound?"

But, that’s impossible.

But anyone can make empty promises.

He just liked seeing the little girl pout with puffed cheeks.

Haha, if it weren’t for the intimidating gaze of the man next to her, he probably would have laughed out loud by now.

Gu Lingling held onto Yang Yunhai’s arm, nervously watching the master’s hands.

"Don’t worry, it’s alright." Yang Yunhai carefully took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her hands, "It’s okay if nothing comes out."

Old Liu, "..."

He would like such a generous son-in-law too.

Clerk, "..."

Boss, you’ll need to have a daughter first.

Old Liu, "..."

Is this how young people date nowadays?

Suddenly, he felt like he wanted to experience a romance too.

Old Liu’s wife, "..."

Come, come here, no explanation needed.
