I Kicked Down the Crazy Male Lead and Flirted with the Villain

Chapter 5: First Time Gambling Stones

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Jinhua was extremely familiar with the way he looked at her. In her previous life, when she first came into contact with this industry, she was often looked at with this gaze.

Only when she became famous in the jade world did others not dare to underestimate her because of her age.

“I’m just looking around. Go somewhere else. There’s no need to follow me.”

Jinhua glanced around and casually touched a few raw stones. She realized that she could still sense the interior of the raw stones and could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

Her ability was still there!

The staff did not want to let a fat fish like her off. Even though she said that, he still tried his best to recommend some stones.

Ming City had a nickname, Village of Jade. It had been passed down for thousands of years. As long as one could live a comfortable life, they liked to buy some jade artifacts at home as family heirlooms.

Influenced by culture, many young people also liked to gamble on stones. It was not strange for a student like Jinhua to appear here.

Moreover, because they were young and inexperienced, they were often slaughtered like a fish in water.

“Little girl, this material is good. It’s made of high-quality white wood with pine flowers on the surface. The chances of it being outstanding are very high.”

Jinhua followed his gaze and saw a small piece of white sand leather. She weighed it in her hand and realized that it weighed about two catties.

The leather shell was rough, and the dim lights did not show much.

However, if the surface of the wood had color, the chances of color entering were quite high.

Although Jinhua had the ability to sense jade, her professional knowledge had not declined. After all, she still had to put on an act. Otherwise, if anyone discovered such a magical ability, they would probably be captured and cut up.

In order to confuse the outside world, she would sometimes deliberately make a few mistakes.

Seeing that she was looking at it seriously, the staff whispered at the side, “Little girl, you look unfamiliar. This should be your first time here, right? Our shop has a discount for new customers. If you want, I’ll let you buy this high-quality material for 20,000 yuan.”

“20,000?”

Jinhua shook her head. “I can’t afford it.”

The staff member stole a glance at her, his shrewd eyes filled with calculation. “Then how much do you want for it? As long as it’s not too much, we can discuss it.”

“200.”

“280?” The young man’s eyes widened in shock. “What kind of joke is this? You can’t bargain like this. Look carefully, there’s green in this material. As long as a little bit of green goes in, you’ll definitely make a killing.”

“Oh…”

Jinhua nodded as if she understood. She looked like a naive little girl who was easily deceived. “Um, didn’t I just say…”

The young man heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that there was still room to turn around.

However, Jinhua corrected him. “I said 200, not 280.”

The little brother: “…”

“If you’re unwilling, then forget it.”

That piece of material was indeed green, but the quality was too poor. It could not even be considered a bean seed. At most, it was considered tofu dregs. 200 yuan was too expensive for it.

High-quality material?

Was he lying to a child?

Jinhua put the raw stone back and continued looking.

She touched here and there. There was only so much money in her pocket. She could not afford anything of too good a quality.

At this moment, a new customer entered. He should be a regular customer. The young man shouted and abandoned Jinhua to welcome him.

Jinhua was also happy to be free. She felt uncomfortable being stared at.

She picked up a piece of broken material from the table. It was a little heavy. She moved it carefully.

While sensing the jade quality inside, her hands were not idle. She took the lamp to look at the appearance of the origin stone.

This piece of material should be from the Nanqi market. It’s composed of yellow sand and has a compact shell. When the light was turned on, there was yellow fog under it. It’s a quality material.

“Boss, how much is this?”

As soon as she finished speaking, a familiar voice came from behind. “Huahua, why are you here?”

Jinhua turned around and saw Jian Huaiyu standing not far behind her. Beside him was a man in his fifties or sixties picking stones. He should be Jian Huaiyu’s master, Pu Yonghe.

Jinhua was slightly stunned, then she smiled and said, “I came here to play when I had nothing to do.”

Jian Huaiyu had seen her just now, but he could not believe that Jinhua would appear here, so he did not come over directly.

He only dared to confirm it when he heard her voice.

At this moment, the boss said, “36,000 yuan for this piece of material.”

“36,000?” Jinhua said. “That’s too high. I can’t see that price.”

The boss thought to himself, What can a brat like you see?

Jinhua said, “Look, this is the only part of your material that shows anything. You can’t see any of the other parts at all. Moreover, this is just a fragment of a material. There are so many cracks here.

With such a high price, aren’t you afraid of smashing your hands? 2,000 it is.”

It was best to not show that one really wants to buy anything, especially in an industry like jade. Otherwise, one might be scammed until not even their underwear is left.

Jian Huaiyu was shocked and hurriedly pulled her aside. “Huahua, you actually came out to gamble on stones. It would be strange if Auntie Feng doesn’t teach you a lesson.”

“That’s why you can’t let my mother know.” Jinhua grinned. “Huaiyu, you won’t report me, right?”

Jian Huaiyu choked. When he met her smiling eyes, he really couldn’t say anything harsh, but he couldn’t let her mess around.

Hence, he said, “No, I can’t spoil you. Go back and study well. This is not a place for you.”

As he spoke, he was about to pull Jinhua away when the boss hurriedly stopped them. “Little girl, don’t you want this material? Let’s each take a step back. 10,000, how about that?”

“I can’t…”

Jinhua wanted to bargain with him, but Jian Huaiyu pulled her behind him and said, “Boss, she doesn’t want it anymore.”

The boss hurriedly said, “How about this? I’ll make you a little less. 8,000!”

“It’s too expensive. I can’t afford it.” Jinhua was stopped by Jian Huaiyu and could only jump around behind. “Boss, I’ll give you another thousand. Make it 3,000. If you sell it at this price, I’ll buy it.”

Jian Huaiyu wanted to cover her mouth, but he failed.

There was a rule in the jade industry. As long as the shop owner agreed to the price, they had to buy it.

He only hoped that the boss would not relent and he could quickly leave with Jinhua.

Unexpectedly, the boss immediately agreed with a smile. “Alright, 3,000 it is. Seeing that this is your first time here, I’ll give you a welfare price.”

Jian Huaiyu held his forehead and watched as Jinhua ran to pay the bill happily. He suddenly felt guilty.

He felt that it was because of the books he had lent her that she suddenly became interested in stone gambling.

If that was really the case, how should he explain it to Auntie Feng?

“Little Jian, is this your friend?” Pu Yonghe asked as he passed by Jian Huaiyu.

Jian Huaiyu nodded. “The neighbor’s daughter.”

Pu Yonghe laughed. “Young people nowadays are just bold and daring. This little girl looks young, but she’s quite bold.”

Jian Huaiyu’s ears turned red and he felt more and more guilty.

He felt that he’d made the wrong decision back then, and he might really harm Jinhua like his mother said.

At this moment, Jinhua followed the shop assistant to the back to look for a stone cutter.

Jian Huaiyu thought for a moment, then told Pu Yonghe and followed.
