Chapter 82: Chapter 82: The Bold Bet!
Although Yang Yu had not appraised the remaining raw stones for potential Jade value, Bai Xuefeng knew she had lost.
She had never seen anyone who could be one hundred percent certain that a raw stone would yield nothing, and Yang Yu was the first she had encountered.
If Yang Yu was so certain about these two hundred or so raw stones, how could he be wrong about others?
Bai Xuefeng wanted to concede, but if she did now, she would become the laughingstock of everyone, mocked for the Bai Family’s inability to take a loss.
In this business, reputation was paramount. Once the Bai Family’s reputation was damaged, future business would suffer, making her the sinner of the entire clan.
So even if she ended up losing nine billion today, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and accept it!
Not just Bai Xuefeng, everyone present understood that she was destined to lose.
They couldn’t help but sigh secretly; the Bai Family had taken a heavy fall this time!
Just when everyone thought Bai Xuefeng was doomed to lose, Yang Yu suddenly spoke up, "Boss Bai, my head suddenly hurts a lot; can we call this gamble a draw? Let’s not count the money for these cut open raw stones, is that okay?"
"What? He’s bailing out now?"
"This... this... is this some kind of joke?"
"Is this guy messing with us?"
The bystanders were dissatisfied, but Bai Xuefeng quickly grasped what was happening and looked at Yang Yu with gratitude, "Mr. Yang, since you’re not feeling well, we don’t have to continue the bet. Anyway, these materials are empty; it’s done and doesn’t need to be counted..."
"No way, how can we just not count a bet we’ve agreed upon?" A middle-aged woman with a face full of pockmarks walked in with Chen Jiankun and Su Yihan as well as Zhang Xiaohui, bristling with aggression.
Both Su Yihan and Zhang Xiaohui looked at Yang Yu with eyes full of provocation, as if to intimidate him.
Yang Yu let out a "hehe" and chuckled coldly, without speaking.
He was quite curious to see how these people from the Bai Family wanted to play this out.
Seeing her own cousin stepping in to cause trouble, Bai Xuefeng became anxious, "Xue Dan, I’m in charge here; why are you stirring things up?"
"Bai Xuefeng, don’t forget, you’re in charge here, that’s right, but you’re only responsible for today’s raw stone exhibition, and all other matters regarding this batch of goods are managed by my mother!"
Bai Xuedan stood with her hands on her hips, exuding the vibe of a shrew berating in the streets, "You let people cut more than two hundred raw stones and didn’t collect a penny; that’s a loss of more than twenty million. If grandma asks about it, my mother will still have to take the blame, won’t she?"
Before Bai Xuefeng could say more, Yang Yu stepped in front of Bai Xuedan, smiling and asked, "Miss Bai from the Bai Family, according to you, what should we do next?"
Bai Xuedan turned to look at her own man, "Jiankun, can you vouch for your cousin and his girlfriend?"
Before Chen Jiankun could speak, Zhang Xiaohui immediately took out her phone, "Look, this is a photo of the two of us together; I’m his ex-girlfriend, I know him well. This guy is just a gigolo who hangs onto rich women; he has no skill in stone gambling!"
Seeing the photo on Zhang Xiaohui’s phone, Bai Xuedan was full of confidence, turned to Yang Yu and said, "Mr. Yang, don’t say we, the Bai Family, bully our guests. Since we’ve started the bet, there’s no reason to stop."
Yang Yu looked at Bai Xuedan with a playful face, "And then what?"
Bai Xuedan snorted, "Since you’re our esteemed guest, we Bai Family can’t be too harsh. Either continue the gamble or purchase these cut open raw stones at twice the agreed price. I’ll give you a discount, forty million will do."
"Boss Bai, it seems your Bai Family has no shortage of fools," Yang Yu said with a smirk as he looked at Bai Xuefeng. "I think you’re a decent person, Boss Bai, and I don’t want to offend your family too harshly. But if some people are naive enough to believe the covetous words of irrelevant trash and try to mess with me, then I’m sorry."
Bai Xuefeng said anxiously, "Mr. Yang, let me call my grandma, please wait."
"Thinking you can pressure me with Grandma, don’t even dream about it!" Bai Xuedan sneered repeatedly, "You’re given a bit of power and you really think you can step on my head and look down on the men in my family? Today, I’m taking back control of this exhibition, and I’ll take responsibility for any consequences!"
Bai Xuefeng wanted to say more, but her phone rang.
She immediately answered the call, and before she could speak, the other side said coldly, "Xue Feng, Xue Dan and I have discussed the situation. From now on, Xue Dan will be in charge of everything in the exhibition hall. We both will bear all the consequences."
Yang Yu realized the Bai Family was also embroiled in internal power struggles and conflicts.
It was all because Bai Xuedan didn’t want to give Chen Jiankun face, so she took the opportunity to push Bai Xuefeng out.
The Bai Family’s issues originally had nothing to do with Yang Yu, but because of the bet, they were now connected to him.
He had originally thought it was better to resolve enmity rather than deepen it, to leave some leeway in actions so that people could meet amicably in the future.
But now, some people were practically throwing their heads at him, so he wouldn’t be polite!
Bai Xuefeng still wanted to persuade her aunt further, "Auntie, I can cover the twenty million, can we not..."
"Bai Xuefeng, I’ve said, we mother and daughter will take responsibility for the consequences, do you not understand?" her aunt roared, and Bai Xuefeng could only give up, "Alright, then!"
Seeing the triumphant victory in Bai Xuedan’s eyes, Bai Xuefeng could only apologize to Yang Yu, "I’m sorry," and then stood aside, watching coldly.
Yang Yu felt he had done all he could, it was time to play: "Can we start the game again?"
Bai Xuedan nodded, "Yes, let’s start!"
Yang Yu walked up to the pile of raw stones again, randomly grabbed one, and tossed it to the Cutting Master, "Inside this is an Emperor Green, not of the highest quality. Paying one million for this stone is not worth it."
The Cutting Master cut open the raw stone, and inside was indeed an Emperor Green of the exact quality Yang Yu had described!
"This one contains a Chicken Blood Stone, quite pricey, around ten million."
"This one has a top-grade ice type, priced at around thirty million."
Yang Yu threw a stone, and the Cutting Master would cut it, each jade within was nearly the exact match to Yang Yu’s predictions.
Others would take half a day to appraise a raw stone and still might not get it right.
But Yang Yu evaluated raw stones as easily as if he were drinking tea—and he hadn’t even finished a single cup before he was done, leaving everyone watching in stupefied amazement.
"My god! That’s awesome!"
"How can such a person exist in this world? Does he have X-Ray Vision?"
"If he gambles on stones, wouldn’t he always win?"
Those who initially thought Yang Yu was arrogant were now utterly subdued by him, especially Mr. Beishan, who was filled with shame inside: "This young man has hidden depths, and I presume to know better, to lecture, to rely on my age and experience, truly shameless!"
