It was still unknown whether this necklace belonged to this woman or if it was a gift from Shen Feng.
"Me? Recently, I have been gambling on stones." Shen Feng smiled mysteriously. "I just played a few rounds and earned some money, so I bought her a necklace."
After he finished speaking, everyone looked at him in disbelief. They had heard of gambling on stones, but they had never played it before. It was said that there were people who became rich overnight, and there were also people who became bankrupt overnight.
However, they did not believe Shen Feng's words. They all said that he was lying. Even if it was gambling on stones, he was so lucky that he won every round and earned tens of millions of yuan. The probability was no different from winning the lottery.
"You don't believe me?" Shen Feng pointed at a counter in the shop with raw stones. "Are these raw stones for sale?"
Uncle Wang looked at this young child who was quite arrogant. He was also interested. "These raw stones are for sale. They are all priced. You can take a look."
This kid earned so much money by gambling on stones and bought 'Dreamy Teardrop' for his girlfriend. It was not something that could be explained by luck. He must have a certain level of ability.
Shen Feng now completely believed in Shen Xi. He would do whatever he was asked to do. He casually pointed at the raw stone with the lowest price. "That one."
The little girl just told him that the thing in that big stone was the best.
Uncle Wang was a person who had been in the jewelry industry for decades. However, he never gambled on stones. It was too risky. He did not like to take risks. The purchase and price of the raw stones were done by the boss himself.
However, in this small city, not many people bought raw stones. They were usually treated as decorations. Occasionally, when someone bought them, they would be cut. Sometimes, the boss would cut the stones himself to make bracelets or decorations.
When the classmates at the gathering saw this, they were all confused. How did the appraisal of jewelry turn to gambling on stones? The development was a bit strange.
A group of people looked at the stone with a price of 2,000 yuan. They had different expressions. They had doubts about Shen Feng's claim that he made a fortune by gambling on stones. They were all waiting to see what could be cut out of the stone.
That stone was very big, about one meter in diameter. It was ink-black in color and had a nice shape. It could be used as a decoration anywhere.
He Lu didn't believe that Shen Feng knew how to gamble on stones. He was just a poor boy in town. She heard that his family owned a small restaurant. People believed that he knew how to wash dishes. Gambling on stones? He was just bragging!
She knew about that raw stone. It was brought back by her uncle when he went abroad. It was originally placed in the fish tank at home as a water feature.
Later, his uncle stopped raising fish and brought the raw stone to the shop. He said that the quality of the things inside was very poor and it was not worth much money.
However, it had been left there for several years, and no one had asked about it. Uncle himself was not willing to open this stone. He even said that he wanted to sell it to people to put in fish tanks as a rockery!
He Lu's uncle, Jiang Qishan, heard that He Lu and Xia Ze had brought their classmates to the shop to appraise jewelry, so he came to the mahjong table. When he arrived, he heard that they were going to open raw stones.
He Lu saw him. "Uncle, why are you here?"
Xia Ze also greeted him politely.
Jiang Qishan was chubby and looked very amiable. He looked like a Maitreya Buddha and gave people a simple and honest feeling. After he smiled and responded to He Lu and the others, he said, "You are all Lu Lu's classmates. If you like this stone, you can take it home. I don't need your money. It's good to put it in the bathtub as a rockery. Don't cut it. It's a waste of stone."
He liked this stone very much. It was used as a rockery in his fish tank for several years. Later, his golden arowana died, so he didn't raise any fish again. This stone was still very sentimental to him.
He had taken a picture of it before. There was nothing inside. If they liked it, he would give it to the fated person. They were not outsiders. This group of children were his niece's classmates.
He Lu glanced at her uncle and said sarcastically, "Uncle, you don't have to persuade him. My classmate is good at gambling on stones. The 'Dreamy Teardrop' you saw was bought by him with the money he won from gambling on stones for his girlfriend."
Xia Ze also said, "Uncle Jiang, this stone hasn't been cut. No one knows what's inside, right?"
Uncle Jiang was an expert in gambling on stones. He had studied it for a lifetime. If he said there was nothing inside, then there was definitely nothing inside.
The classmates at the gathering didn't know who to believe when they heard the professional say so. Shen Feng was just talking. No one had heard of him gambling on stones, so they didn't know how good he was. However, He Lu's uncle was an expert.
Shen Xi had a good impression of He Lu's uncle. He didn't have He Lu's snobbish and mean attitude. He looked like a good person. Listening to him was also very pleasant.
Shen Feng glanced at Shen Xi and asked for her opinion. Anyway, he didn't know when his sister learned how to gamble on stones.
Shen Xi nodded at him.
Shen Feng stood up and looked at Jiang Qishan with a smile. "Uncle, this is the stone."
Jiang Qishan was a little embarrassed. He also felt that it was a pity. "Little classmate, it's a pity to cut this stone. It can't even be used as a decoration."
Sigh, this stone had been with him for more than ten years since he had bought it. He was a little reluctant to cut it off so suddenly!
"If uncle is reluctant to cut it, why are you selling it?" Shen Feng still had a smile on his face. It seemed that he had guessed his thoughts at a glance.
Jiang Qishan saw that he was so determined and knew that he couldn't persuade him. "Okay, if you want it, uncle will cut it for you."
Xia Ze and He Lu saw Jiang Qishan's attitude and looked at each other. They were sure that there was nothing inside. Shen Feng would definitely make a fool of himself later.
Jiang Qishan took the tools and asked a few boys to move the stone over. He began to cut it. Knowing that there was nothing inside, he was bold and relaxed.
The outer layer of the stone was cut off. The size of the stone was getting smaller and smaller. It was only the size of a basketball. There was still nothing inside. It was just an ordinary stone.
Xia Ze and He Lu were also relieved. It was just an ordinary stone. There was nothing inside. They couldn't even see a piece of jade.
Although the people at the party were a little gloating, they didn't dare to show it. No matter what, Shen Feng was rich. He could afford to buy jewelry worth tens of millions. They had to treat him well.
Shen Feng was very calm. He didn't know why, but he felt that as long as his sister said it, it must be right.
There was definitely something good in this stone.
He Qishan also sighed. There was nothing. There wasn't even a piece of jade. It was a pity that he had a piece of landscaping stone.
On the other hand, Uncle Wang was still very confident. He walked to Shen Xi and whispered to her, "Little girl, how big do you think it is? What's the water level? "
Shen Xi coughed and lowered her voice. She pointed at Shen Feng and said, "I don't know. You can ask him. He's an expert."
Uncle Wang smiled and looked at her meaningfully. "Is that so?"
