Bei Rui and Bei Baobei, the two little ones, turned blue with anger.
"There’s nothing to be angry about." Li Mumu reached out and stroked the hair of the two little baozi.
Bei Baobei put her hands on her hips, "But they said Mommy’s foolish with too much money."
"Well, they’re not wrong, I do have plenty of money..." Li Mumu grinned.
Of course, she wouldn’t admit to being foolish.
Bei Baobei: "..."
Bei Rui: "..."
As ti passed, only one-fifth of the huge stone had been mined.
Many had lost interest in this undoubtedly lost bet and left to watch other stone cutting live streams.
Only a few remained, watching gleefully.
Despite everyone’s ridicule, Li Mumu’s expression remained unchanged.
Her reason for insisting on this stone was simply to test a curious theory in her mind.
Finally!
At three-fifths of the stone, sothing appeared, but instead of green jade, it was white.
Clear, milky white...
"It’s white jade!"
Soone shouted, making everyone widen their eyes and co closer.
"Wow, it really is white jade!"
"Judging by the quality, it seems comparable to the Heshibi of the past."
"Ma’am, might I ask if you’re considering selling it?"
The shrewd ones quickly decided to ask the price now, because buying it early would be cheaper; otherwise, once the complete piece is cut, many can’t afford it.
"Ma’am, I’ll offer a hundred million!"
"I’ll offer a hundred and ten million!"
"I’ll offer two hundred million!"
"..."
Everyone eagerly shouted.
"Sorry, not for sale."
Just then, a voice as cold as water fell on everyone’s heads.
What the hell, not for sale!?
"Ma’am, if the offer seems too low, we can discuss it further."
"Yes, ma’am."
Everyone quickly discarded their previous mocking expressions and now eagerly wished they could cling to Li Mumu’s leg.
Seeing their faces now, Bei Baobei and Bei Rui crossed their arms, feeling smug.
Serves you right for laughing earlier, now it’s ti for you to beg!
"Sorry, still not for sale." Li Mumu’s voice was sure.
Not to ntion she wanted to use this white jade to make birthday gifts for her grandparents, even without that, she wouldn’t sell it to these people.
The rejected crowd’s faces turned sour. Soone couldn’t help but mutter, "Fine, don’t sell it. It might just be a layer of white jade shell!"
"Exactly, if it’s just a jade shell, you’ll regret it."
"Just wait and see."
Everyone’s eyes were glued to the screen, watching more intently than anything else.
Li Mumu felt speechless.
These folks were even more anxious than she was.
"Please don’t let it be a jade shell, please don’t..." Bei Baobei and Bei Rui, the two little baozi, prayed continuously.
With the machine cutting, finally, a complete white jade appeared before everyone!
Indeed, it was a complete and high-quality piece of white jade.
Overall, it was warm and smooth, without any impurities.
The people present couldn’t help but gasp.
If earlier it was worth one or two hundred million, now even at tens of billions it would be considered cheap.
Who could have imagined a seemingly ordinary, oh no, an extrely ugly stone would hide a "billion-dollar fortune".
The shop owner almost coughed up blood, lanting endlessly, "I-I just sold billion-dollar jade for just one thousand bucks... I can’t take it, I’m going to die!"
