Compared to the shock and doubt on Xue Yu's face, Chu Yuan's expression was a bit unnatural. Originally, he had the thought of winning to prove his ability to suppress Tan Xiu. Secondly, he could also invite Xue Yu to dinner. He had even thought of the place to invite Xue Yu to dinner in the presidential suite of the Long's Dining Hall.
However.
At this moment, his wishful thinking came to nothing and he even lost the opportunity to invite Xue Yu, which made him a bit angry.
Master Huang was a bit excited. After all, being able to cut out a top-grade jade like the Blood Jade was definitely an honor for a stone-cutting master like him. However, he was also perfectly aware of what the bet between Chu Yuan and Tan Xiu meant for Chu Yuan. It meant that Chu Yuan had lost.
However, he still had his own bottom line even though he also came from the Imperial Garden. After taking out the Blood Jade, he fiddled with it for a while before putting it on the tray and then picked up the third stone material.
"Master Huang, there's no need to cut it out. I lost."
Despite feeling vexed, Chu Yuan still showed an open and aboveboard manner. He nodded to Tan Xiu and then spoke to Master Huang.
"Don't worry, Mr. Chu," said Tan Xiu with a faint smile. "Even if there was no bet between us, I'd still cut these stones out. Let's continue, Master Huang! "
Master Huang hesitated for a moment before agreeing to Tan Xiu's words. After the stone-cutting machine cut it out, a green color appeared in front of everyone in just two minutes.
"This … there's also jade in it?"
Master Huang was shocked, and the onlookers in the surroundings also looked incredulous. It must be noted that Tan Xiu's three stone materials were randomly taken out by Master Huang from a large pile of stones. How could each of them contain jade?
Was it Tan Xiu's luck?
Or was he really sure that there was jade in these stones?
The jade contained in the third stone material was not as good as the first and second stones. But in terms of value, it could be sold for several million yuan if sold.
"I was careless."
Chu Yuan rarely lost. That was because he had a cautious personality. Every time he did something, he would make sure that victory was within his grasp. The result of this bet made him realize that there was something wrong with his mentality. If it wasn't for Jade Beauty, he probably wouldn't have proposed a bet with Tan Xiu.
After taking a deep breath, Chu Yuan lightly smiled and said, "Mr. Tang is indeed worthy to be the Big Boss of the Magnificent Tang Corporation and the most outstanding disciple of the Tang Family in the Imperial Capital. His attainments in stone gambling had reached the acme of perfection. I, Chu Yuan, wholeheartedly accept my loss. "
Tan Xiu said in a strange tone, "Mr. Chu is very skillful. I didn't expect that you could figure out my identity so clearly in such a short time."
"Actually, I already knew about Mr. Tang a long time ago," said Chu Yuan with a faint smile. "It's just that we just met, so I didn't remember it for a while. It's not that I'm conceited, but there aren't many people in this world who can beat me, but Mr. Tang is qualified. "
Tan Xiu raised his brows, not willing to say these meaningless words to Chu Yuan anymore. What he needed now was to cut all the stones he had bought. Since the other party already knew his identity, he didn't want to hide it anymore. Since he had already won, he might as well add some more information to let the future successor of the Imperial Garden know that he was not someone to be trifled with.
"Old Huang, continue cutting the stones!"
Master Huang looked at Tan Xiu with a strange expression, but he still began to cut the fourth stone with the help of the old man in traditional Chinese attire.
"There's jade material!"
"There's also this one!"
"How is this possible?"
"I …"
As Master Huang continued to cut the stones, pieces of jade were taken out from the stone. More than two hours later, a large number of jades and jadeites were taken out from more than a dozen stone materials.
At this moment …
Chu Yuan was shocked. He simply couldn't believe his eyes. It was because each of the stones Tan Xiu bought had jade or jadeite in it, which had broken his understanding of stone gambling. Not only him, but the man and woman behind him were also shocked to the point that it was difficult to be any more shocked. It was because they had never encountered such an evil thing.
Xue Yu's beautiful eyes were rippling with extraordinary splendor. Her eyes kept wandering back and forth between the stone materials, jadeites, and Tan Xiu. She was at the scene when Tan Xiu bought these stones. She saw with her own eyes that Tan Xiu directly locked the stones and traded with the owners and staff of the shacks.
Evil!
Strange!
Xue Yu found that she really couldn't see through Tan Xiu. Not to mention other aspects, just his performance in stone gambling alone was too terrifying. He was a complete evildoer.
Finally …
When Master Huang cut the 20th stone material, Xue Yu couldn't help but stare at Tan Xiu and ask, "How did you do it, Mr. Tang?"
"I don't understand what you mean," Tan Xiu asked despite already knowing the answer.
"Even if your luck is so good, it's impossible for you to bet everything correctly," said Xue Yu. "Jade materials are wrapped in stones. Even if a normal person has extraordinary insight in this aspect, it's still impossible for them to bet everything correctly. I think you should have some means to detect whether there's jade inside the stone material. "
Tang Xiu found that everyone's eyes were focused on him when Xue Yu spoke to him. He immediately grinned and said, "Would you believe me if I told you that my eyes can see through things?" "That's right.
Seeing through things?
"How is that possible?" Xue Yu shook her head.
"Since it's impossible, then why did you ask?" Tan Xiu lightly smiled. "Everyone has their own secrets. You have yours, and so does Mr. Chu. I have a bit of talent in stone gambling, so there's nothing to fuss about, no?"
Xue Yu was silent for a few seconds before she suddenly asked, "Can you really see through things?"
"I don't know if I can see through things or not," said Tan Xiu with a smile. "But I can see that you're very beautiful. You're definitely a great beauty that's hard to find among thousands of people. Of course, if you can smile more, you'll be even more attractive. "
"What?"
Xue Yu's delicate body trembled and a shocked expression burst out of her eyes. Tan Xiu's words were like a clap of thunder that directly blasted inside her heart.
Aside from her parents, no one else had ever seen her appearance. She had always worn a veil on her face since she could remember. According to the prophecy of her clan, every woman whose appearance was seen by a man would have her heart seen through, and the trajectory of her life would be seen through. Eventually, she would become that man's woman.
This deep-rooted concept caused Xue Yu, who came from the mountains of the Miao Region, to be shocked and scared by Tan Xiu's words.
At this moment …
Aside from Xue Yu, Chu Yuan, who had a bit of love for her, was also frightened. He was very clear about the ancestral roots of the Snow Jade Clan. He had wanted to be the first man to unveil Xue Yu's veil many times in the past, to become the only man for her.
But …
If Tan Xiu really saw Xue Yu's true appearance, then … even if he had monstrous abilities, he would not be able to get Xue Yu.
"Please don't joke around, Mr. Tang."
Chu Yuan's expression turned extremely serious as he spoke word by word with a serious expression. There was even a trace of hostility in his eyes.
Tan Xiu stared blankly for a moment. He looked at Xue Yu's aghast expression and then at Chu Yuan's hostile and serious expression. Suddenly, an absurd idea emerged in his mind. He was at a loss whether he had to laugh or cry as he asked, "Miss Xue, is there any strange rule in your clan? For example … which man will marry you after seeing your appearance first? "
"Yes!"
Xue Yu's heart was in a mess and her voice was somewhat trembling.
Tan Xiu rolled his eyes and snappily said, "What era is this? How can such an unreliable rule still be preserved? Forget it. I was just talking nonsense, so don't take it seriously. Also, I'll give you a piece of advice. Love is not a child's play, and marriage is not a joke. You … just abolish that unreliable rule as soon as possible! "
After saying that!
He didn't want to pay attention to Xue Yu and Chu Yuan anymore. He directly looked at Master Huang and said, "Hurry up and cut the stones! I don't have much time. The earlier I take out all the jades from the stone material, the earlier I can go home and have dinner. "
Xue Yu's eyes stared fixedly at Tang Xiu. After a few minutes of silence, she said, "Mr. Tang, since you won the bet with Chu Yuan, you should have dinner with me tonight according to the agreement."
Tang Xiu casually waved his hand and said, "Actually, the wager Mr. Chu just proposed was just to make the belle smile. Let's forget about having dinner together. I don't have much time and have to go back to take care of my child at home! "
Child at home?
Xue Yu frowned and asked, "Is Mr. Tang married and has a child?"
"No." Tan Xiu shook his head.
"Then what do you mean by having a child at home?" Asked Xue Yu again.
"My disciple is still young," answered Tan Xiu.
A struggling look appeared in Xue Yu's eyes. After a long while, she slowly said, "I have nothing to do today anyway. Since Mr. Tang has a child at home, then I'll go back with you! But I don't know if Mr. Tang would like to take me home for a meal. "
"Jade Beauty!"
Chu Yuan's expression was a bit unsightly as he shouted in a deep voice.
Xue Yu turned to look at him and lightly said, "Imperial Garden's Young Mistress, is the bet between you and Mr. Tang really just a joke?"
"This …"
Chu Yuan had never regretted it so much. He didn't want to break his promise, but he also didn't want the woman he liked to have dinner with another man at home.
"It's just a meal, Boss."
The young woman beside him suddenly spoke in a low voice.
Chu Yuan's body trembled and cold sweat suddenly appeared on his back. He found that his mood was unexpectedly affected by the love affair between a man and a woman. He even had some evil thoughts about Tan Xiu just now.
"Mind Cleansing Incantation."
Chu Yuan recited it inwardly and no longer spoke. He didn't even want to look at Xue Yu and Tan Xiu again. With his status and ability, what he was most afraid of was the love affair between a man and a woman. If he was immersed in the love affair between a man and a woman, the door to his heart that he had opened with great difficulty would be closed. His 20 years of effort would be wasted and he would become an ordinary person again.
