Chapter 672: Chapter 672: Borrowing Sothing Chapter 672: Chapter 672: Borrowing Sothing “Yeah! I’ve always been pretty lucky.”
“Why take a chance on gambling stones?”
This wasn’t the place to start a fight, but Bai Xiao had brought this man here precisely to settle accounts with her. Looking at Shao Ming, Bai i sneered through her nose. Had such a character beco bold enough to co out and strut around? Shouldn’t he have brought that camp commander instead?
So, the flower-guarding hero has changed, huh?
Once you’re in Myanmar, there’s no turning back.
“Yeah! Just for fun!”
“You’ve really got an eye for stones, don’t you? Daring to buy such raw stones?” Bai i nearly burst into laughter looking at the stone. Even an outsider like her could tell sothing was off. Bai Xiao seed keen on playing the fool.
“I like it!”
With one sentence, Bai Xiao had rendered Bai i speechless with annoyance.
Shao Ming tugged at Bai Xiao’s sleeve. “Don’t be like this, we’re not here to provoke! This stone also doesn’t look right to , let’s not waste money on it.” His miserly nature wouldn’t allow him to part with his money easily.
Even if it was Bai Xiao’s money, it still didn’t matter. Wasting it was shaful.
Bai Xiao gave him a look, and Shao Ming shut up.
It was soone else’s money, after all; he really couldn’t control that.
Bai i bead with delight, “Oh! Looks like your boyfriend is reluctant to spend money on you.”
She had assud Shao Ming was Bai Xiao’s boyfriend.
Bai Xiao didn’t bother to correct her.
“How much for this piece?”
The staff mber kept a poker face, realizing it was self-inflicted misfortune, but he couldn’t be blad for it.
“This piece, five thousand per kilogram!”
Frankly, this raw stone was just a gimmick to fool the wealthy newcors at the auction, which happened to attract quite a crowd this ti.
Bai Xiao finally understood—the stone looked like it weighed several dozens of kilograms; it wasn’t cheap.
But there were already quite a few people checking out the other stones upfront. There was no fun in trying to outbid them.
Watching everyone examining stones with what looked like magnifying glasses, he turned to Baldy Qiang.
Baldy Qiang shivered at being stared at.
What was he up to?
He wasn’t responsible for this kind of ddling.
“Let borrow that… please?”
He pointed at the magnifying glass and flashlight in Baldy Qiang’s hands.
Bai i almost doubled over with laughter at that mont.
Bai Xiao must be joking, she thought. Although Bai Xiao was a scholar, that was just about writing and painting; when it ca to gambling stones, not everyone had the knack or insight for it. Right now, Bai Xiao was clearly a newbie—blindly white.
And fittingly so, with her surna.
“This? Here, it’s yours.” Baldy Qiang imdiately handed it over. It was just a magnifying glass and flashlight, after all. Easy to replace with a new set later.
Bai Xiao crouched over the stone, examining it closely with the magnifying glass, gently pressing her palm on the stone, slowly caressing it. The stone’s icy surface seed to co to life under her hand. “This is the stone. Shao Ming, go pay for it.”
She spoke as she continued to caress.
Bai i was taken aback. She was actually buying it.
She nudged Xiaodao, “Xiaodao, take a look, give it your expert eye.” After all, if it was sothing Bai Xiao wanted, her aim was to sabotage it. She couldn’t let Bai Xiao get her way, especially after Liu Chuanfeng had made fun of Bai Xiao, which she had also witnessed, prompting her derision.
Offending Liu Chuanfeng was akin to making enemies with many; no one would want to get close to her then.
Xiaodao scrutinized the stone, shaking his head afterwards.
He had mixed in this trade for over a decade, having lost tens of millions here; if not that, at least millions. Having been duped often, he did have so basic standards at the very least.
Bai i was relieved.
“Do you even know how to evaluate goods? Stop playing the part of an elephant with a pig’s nose! With your level, I’m afraid you’ll need to look until next year’s Water Festival!”
It might be challenging to spot a good one, but spotting a bad one was a piece of cake.
