Chapter 157 Breakthrough Part 3
Though these were not the highest quality jadeite, these precious stones are still lucrative and would probably fetch a decent sum of money.
And so, in the span of a single day, Grandpa Su had effortlessly converted his million yuans to at least five or six million yuans.
This is precisely why raw stone gambling was so famous and dabbled in by several wealthy folks.
If a person was lucky enough they can possibly multiply their entire wealth overnight and become awe-inspiring billionaires.
But at the same time, one can also lose their entire wealth and self-destroy their family's reputation and wealth within seconds if things don't go well.
This was precisely what the good-natured and kind-hearted Grandpa Su and Mama Meng wanted to happen for Su Lin.
Knowing her greedy cunning nature, they were pretty sure that the shrewd woman was definitely going to fall from her high pedestal today.
Their celebratory voice already contained hints of condescending mockery.
Su Lin patiently waited while the gem cutters finished up the last bits of superficial cleaning and polishing.
They were still working on Grandpa Su's batch of raw materials and probably needed about twenty to thirty minutes more for completing the preliminary processing and neatly packaging all his purchased items.
Grandpa Su smugly checked his expensive golden Rolex watch and clicked his tongue.
"Tsk. Tsk. I am already running late."
He then looked at the huge chunks of raw materials that Su Lin had selected and could already feel a headache coming.
What an unnecessary waste of his time?? Did this nonsensical woman actually expect him to wait here patiently whilst her useless rocks were also processed?
Grandpa Su turned towards his precious grandson Su Han and gave him a knowing look.
His stern wrinkled old eyes then landed on Su Lin and glared at her casual mannerism.
"Do you still want to proceed with the gem cutting child? There is no point in wasting everyone's time here." The old man's biting voice sounded near her.
"You might as well sincerely apologize to Mrs. Meng, and return her property deed."
"As for me, I don't really care for your apology, just change your name so that our family name is no longer tarnished by your filthy actions."
Grandpa Su chuckled with obvious disgust and contempt visible on his face.
"Master himself has decided to go lenient on you! You better use this chance and apologize properly."
"The stalls are also unnecessarily crowded. You should just apologize already and allow these businesses to carry on with their day unhindered."
As if Grandpa Su's taunt was not enough, several voices started echoing from the crowd and urging Su Lin to surrender.
Su Lin's neatly trimmed eyebrows knitted together in anger.
She was already at her limits trying to be patient with these fools, but the dogs just kept on barking and yapping.
As if this was not enough, Mama Meng happily skipped over to her and murmured quietly. "Don't even dream about cheating out of this one."
Su Lin's gaze stiffened a bit as she looked at Shi Meng's nervous figure squirming behind his loud-mouthed mother.
She couldn't help but chuckle, "Only fools needed to fluster. The knowing always remained calm."
"Slut! Shut your" Mama Meng furiously started yelling at her, but Su Lin decisively ignored the crass woman.
With her eyes fixated on Grandpa Su, she innocently smiled.
"Mmmm. Of course, wasting an esteemed master's time is not considerate at all. Even someone like me knows that." She chuckled.
"That being the case, why don't we just cut open two ores? Technically if both of them contain the imperial jade or whatever, that should be enough to determine victory."
Su Lin could hardly even finish her sentence when a loud wave of laughter erupted in the crowd.
"Where did this woman come from??"
"Imperial jade from two ores it seems! How laughable!"
"This is what happens when ignorant idiots try to act arrogant."
"Honey, Imperial jade is not some cabbage sold in the street markets."
Even Grandpa Su's stern old face broke out into a wide grin. This woman was truly hopeless!!
Just how desperate did she have to be to repeatedly beg for a thorough public humiliation?!
She should have just stayed married to Shi Meng and her life wouldn't be this miserable now.
Grandpa Su chortled loudly and then patted his chest as if he was trying his best not to laugh at poor ignorant Su Lin.
"As you wish child. Go ahead." He shrugged his shoulders and waved his hand.
If she was so fervently seeking death, why should he deny her wish?! Grandpa Su chuckled some more and settled down in front of the booth.
He had already wasted so much time. What's one more hour?
The old man was in a generous mood since he had struck big this morning.
He was already thinking about what he was going to do with the huge Imperial jade chunk.
Su Lin smiled casually and ignored the chaos around her. She only looked at the gem cutter grinning in front of her and asked. "Are you going to start processing or should I do it myself?"
The stall keeper immediately hurried over and nudged the middle-aged man to start processing. It was his shop's wares after all!
Even he was excited to see how this small wager would turn out.
The gem cutter obediently nodded and without dilly-dallying further, he immediately started working on the stone in front of him.
So many people were watching him intently. It made him feel very nervous and shaky.
