Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife 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!”
