Genius Wife Is Naughty Again

Chapter 109

"Therefore, the two jade roughs that you chose in Jade Pavilion must be worthless, Miss Janet," Henry chuckled. He felt that Janet was ignorant yet adorable. "What do you mean by green near the surface?" Janet pretended to be ignorant and asked the person beside her, "Didn't someone offer to buy it for one million? How can he be wrong?"Knowing that Janet was a layman and couldn't understand the situation, a stranger standing beside her immediately explained, "Having green near the surface means that there's only a tinge of green on the outside, but there's no jade inside."Janet then acted like she was enlightened and nodded. "I see."After that, that person reminded her out of kindness, "Therefore, you better abandon the jade roughs that you bought just now. It'll only be a waste of time if you cut them. Just take it as paying the price for a lesson. It's better than losing all your money."However, Janet shook her head and replied seriously, "I've already bought it so how can I throw it away? Perhaps I'll get green or red jades!"The crowd then mocked, "Don't even dream about it. It's sheer luck that you won just now. Miracles won't happen to the same person three times in a row so I think you should give up.""Exactly. If you can get green or red jades from it, I'll be your apprentice!"Indolently, Janet looked up and said in a poker-face, "No, thanks.""You!" Infuriated, those people were waiting for Janet to fail. Only then would she learn a bitter lesson and understand how sinister the society was. At that moment, the shop owner asked Janet with a grin, "Shall we cut it and have a look?""Yeah, please cut it." Janet nodded, agreeing with the shop owner."Which rock should we cut first?" The shop owner looked at the huge stone next to Janet's feet before glancing at the small stone in her hand."We'll go with the big one first." Janet pointed at the rock on the ground. Surely, it would be suspicious if they saw the red jade first."Alright!"The shop owner then called his staff in the shop to carry the huge stone to the machine. After that, he asked, "Do you want me to cut it for you or do you want to do it on your own?" "I'll do it myself." Janet was curious. In Markovia, she had never cut a rock on her own. Just when she was about to step forward, Mason suddenly held her hand and gently reminded her, "Don't go. It might hurt your hand."Hurt her hand? How could that small rock cutter hurt her hand? That would be hilarious. Even so, she explained, "Don't worry, I'll be careful."At that moment, the shop owner had finished drawing the line and it was time for Janet to cut it. Normally, cutting it this way was a big no-no because if there was a jade inside, it might be cut through, and that might damage the jade which could be worth more than a million. Who would bear that responsibility then?However, the owner of Jade Pavilion was so certain that there wasn't jade inside that he allowed Janet to fool around. This was Janet's first time cutting a stone and she did it in a direct and decisive manner, unlike those delicate girls who didn't know how to handle a machine.As the one who cut the rock, Janet was the first to see what was inside of the rock. When she saw that the large stone was indeed not jade, she was rather relieved.If every stone she chose were jade, the fact that she knew how to stone-gamble would definitely be exposed.Looking at Janet's relieved expression, the shop owner thought that there was green jade so he walked up to her with a smile. "Is there green jade in it, Miss Janet?" While asking, the shop owner helped to sprinkle water on it. When he saw that it was empty, awkwardness overtook his face. Everyone stretched their necks, trying to get a peek of the situation inside. One of them, who was standing in front, saw the situation and mocked, "Pfft. Didn't this young girl act arrogantly just now?""Exactly. She even claims that she can get green or red jade just now. What an arrogant girl. Did she think that she was God and luck would always be with her?""Young girl, I've told you that the leftovers in Jade Pavilion are just trash. It's impossible to get green jades from it, not to mention red jade.""Exactly. The leftovers in Jade Pavilion are worthless. You should give up now. Otherwise, you might lose all your money!" "Miss Janet, it's not jade, unfortunately." Henry didn't know whether to laugh or cry while looking at her.
