Genius Wife Is Naughty Again novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105

“My guess is that the person is not familiar with these goods. I can’t believe they purchased such a useless piece of rock.”“Honestly, these fools have so much money that they have no idea on how to spend it.”“She’s screwed.”Janet unhappily glanced at the crowd while pointing at the stone in the stall owner’s hands. “Why are you guys so impatient? Isn’t there another half?”The crowd guffawed in response.“Miss, you seem to be oblivious to reality. Since the first cut is a failure, do you truly think that the second one would make a difference?”“You should return home to learn more about stone gambling. Stop wasting your money here.”“Enough with the nonsense.” She urged the stall owner to continue to slice the other half.Old Man Wells could no longer bear to witness it, so he consoled her. “Miss Jackson, you need to accept that this is the reality. There is a popular phrase in the stone-betting industry—‘Failure in the first cut indicates a wreck in the second cut.’ Please listen to my advice… Sigh, it’s such a shame!”Despite his continuous advice, Janet was unperturbed and continued to stare at the stall owner as he sliced the second piece.The blade had barely sunk in when the owner blurted, “Oh, damn! What is happening? The second piece… seems to be glowing green in color.”The crowd was about to disperse when they heard the stall owner’s cries of surprise, so they turned to look at the stone.Everybody exchanged looks of surprise with each other when they saw a sea of green inside the rock before they were all stunned into silence.“I-Is that… an ice jade?”“Oh, damn! That’s the ultimate tier in the different grades of jades!”“What is happening? Isn’t it confirmed that the second cut would be a wreck?”Old Man Wells was shocked because throughout his decades of working in the industry, he had never stumbled upon such a lucky person.Both pieces were green in color. In fact, one of them was the ice variant, which was extremely valuable.A shocked Henry was stunned. Miss Janet has an insane amount of luck! I am honored to witness this today!“Young lady, are you planning to sell this jade of yours? Please let me know.”“Nobody is snatching this from me! It’s mine!”“I was the one who came to watch first! You guys better get lost!”Everybody started to compete with each other as they wanted to have the ice variant jade. Janet arched her brow upon hearing that and calmly replied, “Well, I’m not familiar with the industry. Since you guys seem interested, why don’t you guys make an offer?”“Miss, you are trying to negotiate despite your young age! Looks are deceiving!”“Miss, I’ll offer 200,000 to you. What do you think? Your raw material is merely 100,000, so you’ll earn 100,000.”She cocked a brow at him while sneering in disdain. “I have a large slab of ice jade here. Are you trying to patronize a beggar by offering 200,000?”Henry came forward too when he heard that. “200,000, you say? Are you trying to cheat Miss Janet? Get lost.”Mason cleared his throat when he saw that.The old man, who offered 200,000, looked embarrassed as he initially assumed that those youngsters would be unfamiliar with the stone-betting industry and only came to have fun. Hence, he did not expect to be humiliated. These youngsters are rather intelligent.Everybody started to mock that old man who offered 200,000.“Old man, are you trying to fool the kids with 200,000?”“Young lady, I’m offering 800,000. What do you say?”“Hey, how dare you reprimand the old man when you’re merely offering 800,000! I am determined to get this piece today! I’ll compete with you guys, if I have to. As such, I’m offering 2 million!”Janet scowled when she heard that. These old gamblers are very stingy and wasting my time. She asked impatiently, “Are you guys really that stingy? If that’s the case, I’m not selling my jade!”The crowd fell silent.“Well… I want it. Do we have a deal if I offer 5 million? I’ll take it as long as you agree to my price.”The corner of her lips twitched slightly, but she waved her hand in dismissal. “Forget it, I’m not selling anymore. Henry, keep this safe for me. I’ll take this home with me as a foot brace.”Henry was rendered speechless by her announcement. Foot brace? Miss Janet, you are too generous in the way you spend your money. You’ll finish spending the fees that Young Master Mason has given you sooner or later.Just when the crowd was about to say something, Janet exclaimed loudly, “Sir, please continue to slice the stone.”After the stall owner sliced the last piece, it opened up to reveal even more ice variant of the jade.“That’s a winner! These would produce lots of rings and necklaces and I’m sure that the jade bangles would sell like hotcakes too.”“Miss, are you sure that you’re not selling your piece?” “Since you guys are so hesitant, I’m not selling it to you.” The crowd had been too fussy and hesitant that Janet exhausted her last shred of patience.
