Chapter 77: A Shocking Decision

Gu Qingchen stood there quietly, her expression calm and her eyes shining.

She spoke slowly, “If I remember correctly, you were the one who proposed the competition. Although you acted shamelessly over and over again, I still let you do what you what. Everything was your own choice. You can only blame yourself for losing.”

Gu Qingchen was right. He was the one who suggested rematch. He even found an excuse to take advantage of her. Who knew that he would still lose to her in the end? Instead, he was provoked badly.

Anyway, the feeling of being in heaven for a short while and then falling in hell made him mentally and physically exhausted. He felt like he was about to collapse.

At this moment, Shen Dongyang felt like a clown or a marionette. He was being played in the hands of Gu Qingchen.

Gu Qingchen could play however she wanted. He had no room to resist.

He had lost. This time, he had lost everything.

Just when no one was paying attention, Shen Dongyang suddenly rushed towards Gu Qingchen, trying to snatch the ice jade from Gu Qingchen’s hands.

Gu Qingchen naturally would not let Shen Dongyang succeed. She was very agile, but in order to not make her father suspicious, she only dodged and did not attack Shen Dongyang.

Shen Dongyang pounced on Gu Qingchen several times, but he did not manage to land on her. The securities of the fair and Gu Yuanchuan also reacted.

The securities came to stop Shen Dongyang, while Gu Yuanchuan and Ding Hao ran to Gu Qingchen’s side to protect Gu Qingchen.

A few men subdued Shen Dongyang. Shen Dongyang seemed to be possessed and kept shouting, “Give it back to me, give it back to me, that’s my jade! Mine!”

“I won’t compete with you anymore, that doesn’t count, I won’t compete anymore.”

“Please, please give the jade back to me, I have nothing, I have nothing left!”

“If you don’t give it back to me, I won’t let you off even if I become a ghost! Give it back to me!”

Shen Dongyang kept shouting, but the securities did not show any mercy. They directly lifted Shen Dongyang up, carried him to the door, and threw him out.

The two followers were dumbfounded. They did not dare to make a sound. They tried their best to reduce their presence so that they would not be thrown out by the securities.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the two of them sneaked away. They still went to find Jiang Zhong. Shen Dongyang was only one of Jiang Zhong’s employees. If they told Jiang Zhong about this news, they might be able to get some benefits.

After these troublesome people left, Gu Qingchen’s side started to get lively again.

Gu Yuanchuan looked at his daughter excitedly. For a moment, he did not know what to say to express the excitement and pride in his heart.

In the end, he only said, “Chenchen, you are my pride.”

Gu Qingchen smiled like a little girl. In front of her father, she was still a child.

“I’ve always been proud of my father.”

Hearing his daughter’s heartfelt words, Gu Yuanchuan felt his heart melt, and his smile was exceptionally bright.

Ding Hao had been staring at Gu Qingchen the whole time. He made the first move before everyone else, “Ms. Gu, I heard that you have obtained a piece of purple jade. I wonder if you can sell it to me first. I really need a special jade.”

Ding Hao’s words were heard by the others, and they immediately surrounded him.

“You should line up first. We had been waiting here to bid for the purple jade. You cut the line just like that. Have you thought about how we feel?”

Hearing that someone wanted to get the purple jade in private, many people were not happy. They had been waiting here for a long time. It would be depressing if someone got the purple jade first.

Gu Qingchen also knew this logic. After all, these onlookers were still very powerful. She had previously said that after the competition ended, they would discuss the sale of the jade. Now, if she sold it to Ding Hao privately, these people had waited for so long in vain.

Ding Hao also knew that his request was unreasonable. After hesitating for a long time, he could only say, “Alright, I won’t make things difficult for you. We can bid together.”

In any case, Ding Hao was already prepared to spend a lot of money. No matter how much money he spent, it was still better than losing his life.

Therefore, one should not be greedy for things that they can’t get. This time, he only wanted to befriend Deng Gong, which was why he had caused so much trouble for himself.

What everyone did not expect was that Gu Qingchen had auctioned off the waxy imperial green and the high-grade ice jade, but the purple jade was not auctioned off.

Since Gu Qingchen was not willing to sell the purple jade, there was nothing they could do about it. Furthermore, Gu Qingchen took out the other two pieces of jades, and the crowd was already in an uproar.

Ding Hao was the only one who was frowning, his face full of depression.

Gu Qingchen’s other two pieces of jades, especially the imperial green jade, might be valuable, but Elder Deng might not find them special. He might not be satisfied with it.

Gu Qingchen’s two pieces of jade, the high-grade ice jade, were sold for 1.3 million dollars, while the imperial green jade was sold for 8 million dollars. Although it was a waxy species and not as valuable as the glass species, the imperial green jade was big enough to be used as a decoration. The remaining scraps could also be used as a ring surface or an earring pendant, so the price was very high.

Suddenly, Gu Qingchen’s pockets bulged.

She and her father had less than four million dollars. They had won Shen Dongyang’s 600,000 dollars and sold two pieces of jade for 9.3 million dollars. Even if Gu Qingchen had bought more than one million dollars’ worth of raw stones, she now had more than ten million dollars’ worth of assets.

That was why stone gambling was a crazy thing. Some people could become rich overnight, and some people would become bankrupt overnight.

Gu Qingchen belonged to the former, and Shen Dongyang belonged to the latter.

Gu Qingchen did not sell Shen Dongyang’s ice jade. Instead, she kept it. She was in a hurry to sell the jade to raise more money to buy raw stones.

Shen Dongyang’s jade was only sold for 500,000 dollars. To Gu Qingchen, it did not matter whether she sold it or not.

Anyway, she was going to be in the jewelry and jade industry in the future. It would be the same if she kept it for sale in the future.

Gu Qingchen waited until the crowd had dispersed before she spoke to Ding Hao.

Ding Hao was obviously in a low mood. He was probably thinking about how to find more special jade.

“Mr. Ding, you seem to be very interested in my purple jade.”

Gu Qingchen was the first to speak. When Ding Hao heard this, he subconsciously nodded. Then, his eyes lit up. Gu Qingchen asked this question. Could it be that she wanted to sell the purple jade to him?

“That’s right. This purple jade is extremely important to me. It concerns my life. Ms. Gu, can you give this purple jade to me?”

Gu Qingchen was naturally aware of Ding Hao’s situation. She did not sell the purple jade yet was because she was waiting for Ding Hao to take the bait.

Gu Qingchen smiled gently. She looked very kind, “So the purple jade is so important to Mr. Ding. It actually concerns your life. Actually, I really like the purple jade and want to keep it for myself. But since you need it so urgently, I’ll give it to Mr. Ding as a friendly gift.”

What?

Give it to him?
