Reborn As Super Heir Chapter 153 - 150 Silent Bid 2547

Chapter 153: Chapter 150 Silent Bid 2547

Upon hearing Liang Jinhong ntion the Imperial Capital Liang Family, Huo Sining’s eyes involuntarily twitched, and she subconsciously lifted her head to look at the unfamiliar man in front of her.

This man appeared to be about Zhou Zhen’s age, tall and thin with a scholarly look, accentuated by the glasses he wore; however, his eyes clearly displayed flattery and sycophancy when looking at Gu Xu, which made Huo Sining instantly feel displeased.

Who was this man from the Liang Family, and how did he know Gu Xu?

The romantic thoughts in Huo Sining’s heart vanished in an instant, replaced by the mories Wu Jingyi had left her in her last life, mories of being cut open, her heart removed, her body buried at the bottom of the sea—all things that ultimately stemd from the Liang Family.

During the ti she had been treating Huang Chengyi’s leg, she had also sporadically learned quite a bit about the Liang Family’s secret affairs from Master Huang, and thus had ford a general understanding of them.

Such a grand family was now nothing more than a facade, riddled with scandalous affairs. Huo Sining truly had no intentions of entangling with the Liang Family, wanting nothing to do with them unless they sought her out first.

“I am accompanying a friend, so there is no trouble, Young Master Liang,” she said.

As soon as Liang Jinhong offered to have his master scrutinize the stone, Gu Xu refused without a second thought.

What a joke, he was the helmsman of Shengtang, a dignified group chairman—would he not be able to find an expert in raw gemstone appraisal? Did he really need to resort to a complete stranger?

Liang Jinhong was rely being polite, never intending to offer the services of his brought master. His aim was to make connections with Gu Xu, hoping that with the backing of this influential figure, the Liang Family’s presently declining business would find salvation.

Unfortunately for Liang Jinhong, though his plans were ticulously laid, Gu Xu was not soone to be trifled with.

Liang Jinhong had barely spoken a few words when Gu Xu’s expression swiftly soured, his eyes full of warning, “I’ve heard that the Liang Clan is not doing too well recently. Young Master Liang should focus more on his business. I won’t disturb you any longer.”

When Liang Jinhong looked up and saw Gu Xu’s grim face, he was imdiately alard and realized that he had been too reckless today; he hurriedly backed away to maintain a distance.

How could he forget that, although this man was indeed a god of wealth, he was also Lord Yama—ruthless and decisive in his dealings. There were countless who had suffered losses at Gu Xu’s hands, and foolishly provoking him like this, if he were to truly anger the man, he wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences.

The more Liang Jinhong thought about it, the more afraid he beca. Even after walking far away from the crowd, he still looked back fearfully at Gu Xu, only to see the previously stern-faced Buddha conversing with a woman at his side, his expression now gentle and warm.

The rumor that Mr. Gu of Shengtang Group was indifferent to won was well-known, and although Liang Jinhong didn’t believe it, it was true that no scandals involving Gu Xu had ever surfaced over the years, which he found bizarre.

Liang Jinhong once thought that Gu Xu preferred n and had even deliberately sent people from the sa-sex community to probe him.

Those in the sa-sex community posses a keen sense for detecting their own, able to instantly determine one of their kind upon sight.

But the person he sent to probe returned and told him that wasn’t the case.

How could such a powerful man not have a single woman by his side? It was inconceivable.

Liang Jinhong could only conclude that Gu Xu was extrely cautious in his dealings and had taken strong asures to keep secrets, leaving no trace for anyone to follow.

“`

But now, this diamond bachelor from the rumors, untouchable and aloof, was actually courting a woman!

Seeing this scene, Liang Jinhong was taken aback. He instinctively looked towards the woman next to Gu Xu.

The woman was only about twenty years old, with fair and supple skin, and her large eyes appeared pure and limpid, enhancing her delicate and elegant beauty. Indeed, she was an exceptionally rare gem.

However, the more Liang Jinhong looked, the stranger he found it. The girl’s appearance wasn’t the forgettable type, but why did he feel like he had seen her sowhere before? The more he looked, the more familiar she seed, especially when the girl smiled, revealing a pair of dimples that were particularly striking.

Liang Jinhong thought that the woman might be soone he had flirted with in the past. He carefully combed through his mory but ca up empty-handed, which was quite deflating.

“Forget it, let’s go take a look at the rough jade first. So many people are eyeing this piece; there must be high-quality green in it. Master Wen, please take a close look and see how confident you are about it.”

Liang Jinhong thought it was just a fleeting illusion and didn’t dwell on it any longer. Instead, he focused his attention on the controversial piece of rough jade before him.

A crowd gathered around a large piece of rough jade, chatting, touching, shining lights, and discussing animatedly. Huo Sining had no intention of joining in, but after Su Qingqing had looked over the rough jade, she burst out without a word and pulled her into the midst, quickly bringing her to the piece’s marker.

This was a half-gamble rough jade with an opened window on it, covered with wax skin, light mist, and a thin outer layer. It was a typical black tungsten sand from an old pit, and the whole stone weighed fifty-two kilograms.

At the top of the stone, a window cut out half a foot squared revealed a patch of verdant jade flesh. Just by looking at the texture and quality of the jade flesh, one could tell that the jadeite within this stone was of good quality, likely even better than her Chicken Oil Yellow Jadite in terms of translucency.

Normally, such a well-performing piece of rough jade would be undebated. But the reason for the heated discussions was due to two very common issues: fractures and sand holes.

On the surface of this black tungsten sand, there were two intersecting fractures.

The cracks on the stone’s surface were very fine, but they stretched from the bottom to the top, leaving it uncertain whether these fractures had cut into the interior of the jade or had branched into countless smaller ones that could have shattered the entire piece of jadeite.

What was even more vexing and enough to make one’s scalp tingle was the dense cluster of sand holes on the cut surface of the jade flesh.

Sand holes are voids inside jadeite, bubbles inadvertently trapped during the stone’s formation.

Unlike black lines, sand holes had a stronger visual impact, especially after being cut open. Within the green, the nurous fine sand holes resembled a cluster of insect eggs, causing an involuntary shiver down one’s spine just by looking at them.

Those with a lower tolerance might feel discomfort upon seeing the sand holes, leading to dizziness or even vomiting, typical symptoms of a trypophobia attack.

Huo Sining had a mild case of trypophobia herself. When she first saw the rough jade, she almost wanted to look away imdiately, though after the initial discomfort at first glance, she no longer felt much as she continued to look at it.

Huo Sining took a powerful flashlight from Su Qingqing’s hand and shone it onto the cut surface of the jade flesh riddled with sand holes.

Under the yellow spotlight, even with the naked eye, one could clearly see that the entire piece of jade flesh had absorbed a deep green. However, more dark shadows could be faintly discerned beneath those jade layers.
