Chapter 770: Chapter 771: A Stirring Emotion
Nianyang smiled and said it was okay. Ruan Jinhua turned his head to ask Ruan Weidong, "Dad, didnât you say you had found a Gambling Stone Master? Where is this person? Why arenât they here yet? Theyâre not going to be late, right?"
"..."
Ruan Weidong was awkward for a few seconds and glared at his son, "You little brat, are you blind? That girl Nianyang is the Gambling Stone Master Iâm talking about!"
"What did you say?" Ruan Jinhuaâs voice suddenly rose, and his handsome face slightly twisted in disbelief as he looked over at Nianyang, "Dad, are you joking with me? How old is she? How can she gamble on stones? What are you thinking!"
Facing Ruan Jinhuaâs skepticism, Nianyangâs expression remained unchanged, but Ruan Weidongâs face turned dark immediately. He smacked Ruan Jinhuaâs head, "You brat, watch your attitude. She is an honored guest of our family, her skill is not something you can flippantly comment on!"
Ruan Jinhua was resentful, "Dad, I know sheâs the Divine Doctor, and saving you was a great favor to our family, but that doesnât mean you can blindly exalt her. Not to say, sheâs so young, how could she possibly gamble on stones? Fine, letâs assume sheâs a genius, but everyone knows a person can only excel in one field. She must have spent a lot of time studying medicine, let alone gambling on stones. Does she have the time and capacity to learn about stone gambling?!"
Ruan Weidongâs face was frighteningly dark, "I told you to shut your mouth!"
He then nervously looked at Nianyang,
"Young Nianyang, donât listen to this foolish kid spouting nonsense. I have always believed every word you say."
Afraid that Nianyang would think he agreed with Ruan Jinhua, Ruan Weidong quickly explained. Nianyang smiled and shook her head, "Itâs okay, before I came, I knew there would be doubts, and now no words can change that. We can only see the final results and speak with skill!"
Ruan Jinhua pointed at Nianyang, "Skill, what skill do you have? Do you know what stone gambling is? Do you know how important this ruby is to our family?
Gambling on stones isnât about luck, itâs about experience. You judge based on the size and color of the stone. The prices of these jadeite raw materials are very expensive, starting at at least 100,000, and the most expensive can be in the millions.
If you choose wrong, itâs like spending money to buy a useless rock.
If you choose at random, our family could go bankrupt because of you!"
Ruan Weidong slapped Ruan Jinhua on the face, fuming with anger, "I said thatâs enough, you brat, listen to me clearly. Young Nianyang is my savior, without her your dad would be dead, let alone discussing family wealth. Sheâs here to help, we donât owe her anything. Even if she chooses wrong, so what? Iâm willing!"
In the jewelry world, thereâs a saying: gambling on stones is like gambling with life. If you win, you earn tenfold or even a hundredfold and can become rich overnight; if you lose, you lose everything.
So you can imagine how deep these waters run. For Ruan Weidong to say something like this, it means heâs staking all his assets and reputation on Nianyang.
Ruan Weidong trusts her unconditionally; even if Nianyang caused him to lose everything, he wouldnât care.
Thinking of this, Nianyang felt a wave of emotion in her heart.
She spoke softly, "Uncle Ruan, you can rest easy. As long as Iâm here, I wonât let you lose everything. The top spot will always belong to the Ruan Family; no one can take it away!"
