Chapter 236: The Hidden Worries Behind

“Heavens, Xiangxiang . You have X-ray sight, don’t you? That super rare jadeite just came out of nowhere,” Wei Shanshan rushed to the old town after she was done with filming . She had the day off tomorrow .

“You’ll see me gambling on stones all the time if I really have that,” Yun Xiangxiang rolled her eyes . She was observing this piece of black stone .

Without any light shining upon it, the black jadeite looked lustrously beautiful . It was cool and comfortable to the touch . When the light shone on it, the stone would change into a bright, translucent shade of green . It was marvelous .

“It’s so pretty,” Wei Shanshan huddled closer . This was her first time coming in close contact with jade and experiencing its seduction . “I think I know how those jade connoisseurs feel now . Some things are really just to die for . ”

Yun Xiangxiang tilted her head to look at Wei Shanshan, “If you don’t mind, I can use its edge to make a pair of stud earrings for you . ”

“Would I mind?” Wei Shanshan was shocked . “I would if I’m stupid . Even if it’s just a pair of studs, it’s still priceless! I can keep it as a family heirloom!”

Wei Shanshan only realized what Yun Xiangxiang was thinking after she said that out loud . “Xiangxiang, you want to cut it down to pieces?”

“What should I do if not that?” Yun Xiangxiang looked at her as if she was an imbecile . “What use do I have for it except for cutting it down and turning it into jewelry?”

“For some reason, my heart pains when I think about it getting cut,” Wei Shanshan clutched her chest .

“All jadeites are used to create jewelries,” Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t understand why Wei Shanshan would think that way . “No matter how valuable something is, I think that is reflected in its usage, not by its collection value . ”

To Yun Xiangxiang, nothing could be kept perfect for eternity . Sooner or later, it would decay . If it was inevitable anyway, she shouldn’t just let it lay there unused .

Before finding out about the gorgeous black jadeite, she only had eyes for purple jadeite as a gift for Song Mian .

But now she felt that this jadeite suited her boyfriend better . It was low-key, elegant, and cultured . Just like her boyfriend .

When she thought of how Song Mian would look when he wore this piece of jadeite, Yun Xiangxiang smiled lovingly .

“Are you thinking of someone? You’re smiling so dreamily,” Wei Shanshan asked enviously .

“Knowing it will just hurt a bachelorette like you,” Yun Xiangxiang stowed her smile away and arched an eyebrow at her smugly .

“Hey, that hurts me more than telling it in my face!” Wei Shanshan was irritated .

Yun Xiangxiang’s phone rang . Her father called her . Yun Xiangxiang picked up her phone, “Hey, Dad . ”

“What did you do this time? My phone’s been ringing non-stop,” said Yun Zhibin resignedly .

“En?” Yun Xiangxiang had a blank look .

“Folks have been calling me and asking if I’m your father . They tell me they want to buy the black jadeite in your hands, and the price is negotiable . One billion yuan is nothing to them!” Yun Zhibin almost had a heart attack when he heard that .

One billion yuan . I have never even heard of this amount in my life!

Yun Zhibin didn’t have any social media accounts . He didn’t create one even when Yun Xiangxiang became an actress . He was uninterested in the cyberworld .

Su Xiuling knew how to fiddle with it though . But she was already sound asleep along with their son at this hour . Because of that, Yun Zhibin was out of the loop .

Like Yun Xiangxiang, Yun Zhibin was also a total amateur when it came to jades . He didn’t know what black jadeites were, nor did he have the time to search it online with the incessant calls coming in . He could only take some time to ask his daughter .

“Oh, well, I came to Tengchong City for a show’s recording, and this place has some stone gambling going on . Since Sister Qiluo and the others wanted to play, each of us picked one . And I coincidentally ended up with this black jadeite…”

As she explained, Yun Xiangxiang took Wei Shanshan’s phone to check the story online . The news of her getting a piece of black jadeite was dominating all the headlines .

As Song Meng had night classes today, she didn’t know about the bombshell that happened .

Yun Xiangxiang’s frown became deeper as she went through the stories . She was taken aback by how quickly the story spread, and how conspicuous the reports were .

Unbeknownst to her, this was already the result of He Wei trying his best to keep it down . The story would burn even wilder otherwise .

“Xiangxiang, you must get this jadeite off your hands,” Yun Zhibin panicked . “We don’t have the right to possess this . ”

A common man’s wealth is the cause of his own ruination .

“I will think of something, dad,” Yun Xiangxiang understood Yun Zhibin’s concerns .

“Also, never dabble in stone gambling,” Yun Zhibin reminded .

Profit for nothing is of course something people dream of . It is easy to drown in it as it followed the rules of gambling .

The gamblers would want to keep on winning after tasting their first victory . The losers would cling on to their past victories and hope to gain back what they have lost . They would end up throwing their soul into it and becoming the dregs of society .

Yun Zhibin despised people who refused to improve and spend their wealth aimlessly even if they did have billions in assets .

Yun Xiangxiang managed to get a top-tier jade the first time she gambled . This wasn’t just a simple sweet . It was endless nectar .

Enough to make anyone stick to it and bury themselves inside .

“Dad, I won’t get addicted to this . I’m not interested in gambling,” said Yun Xiangxiang earnestly .

Of course, she loved mahjong but that was her pastime . Her hobby .

Other than that, she despised any gambling games .

She didn’t think she could get rich by stone gambling just because she lucked out with one black jadeite . She would get into trouble eventually if she did that .

Abusing her own luck would shave a few years off her lifespan .

Compared to money, she loved her life more .

Yun Zhibin kept on reminding her about many things, during which another line was coming in . She waited until the notification had rung a few times before saying, “Dad, Brother Wei has been calling me for a while now . ”

Yun Zhibin ended the call . Yun Xiangxiang let He Wei’s call come through . “Sorry, Brother Wei . My dad gave me a call just now . ”

The anti-harassment app Song Mian installed for her blocked every call from unfamiliar numbers . A surge in calls from unfamiliar numbers was out of normal range . The app would automatically block any calls from numbers not in the contacts .

Thanks to that, Yun Xiangxiang had a quiet day, but not for He Wei and Yun Zhibin . Huan Yu’s customer service was also overwhelmed by all the calls .

“You have to get that stone off your hands, fast,” He Wei sounded like he was irritated .

“Got it, Brother Wei,” Yun Xiangxiang agreed . “I’ll settle this perfectly . Don’t worry . ”

He Wei believed in Yun Xiangxiang’s skills and let her off quickly so that she could settle the matter .

Yun Xiangxiang gave a call to Austin . He said excitedly, “Oh, Yun . I saw the news . You have a piece of rare jade on your hands . ”

MonRoe also had stores in China . Earth-shattering news like that would be made known to the HQ in the first instance .

Especially when the one who had it was Yun Xiangxiang, their worldwide ambassador for all their product lines .

“Mr . Austin, I have a proposal for you,” Yun Xiangxiang smirked .
