Wen Nian was not in a hurry and kept listening to others raise their bid.

In fact, she knew that people at the auction would definitely choose carefully, but it was a pity that the raw stones were not easy to pick. At most, they could only filter some out. Most of the time, it depended on luck.

She remembered very clearly that this stone was sold for 10 million yuan in the end. This stone was even worse in quality. The surface was still a little green, but the inside was cracked. In the end, she heard that even if this stone was made into various finished products, it was only worth more than 100,000 yuan. She really did not know how it was selected at that time.

Hearing that the price had reached seven million, Wen Nian raised her card.

Almost the moment she raised her card, the auction seemed to the mute button on. Everyone looked over, but no one spoke. However, this silence only lasted for a few seconds before people immediately called out their bids.

When it soared to nine million, Wen Nian raised the card again. Unexpectedly, the last girl called out a bid of ten million.

Hearing the familiar voice, Wen Nian turned around in shock. Yang Ting was looking at her proudly and even rolled her eyes at her.

Seeing that Wei Xiao had no intention of continuing, Wen Nian stopped. This Yang Ting had always been at odds with her. It was not bad to trick her!

“10 million! This is the first 10 million in the arena! Is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?” The host’s tone was filled with excitement.

The raw stones in this round were not very big, but the quality was not bad. At least for now, there was no obvious scam. However, the price of 10 million was indeed too high. Not everyone could afford it.

Jiang Chun stared fixedly at Wen Nian to see if she would make another move. She knew that Yang Ting probably didn’t have much money to cooperate with her. If Wen Nian continued to increase the price, the two of them would lose this opportunity to earn money. The last raw stone would definitely be worth more than 10 million.

Fortunately, Wen Nian did not continue to raise the price.

“10 million going thrice! Deal!” With the host’s final decision, Yang Ting’s heart was relieved.

Wei Xiao secretly clenched his fists. He had originally wanted to try bidding for this stone, but he did not expect Yang Ting to beat him to it in the end. However, he did not have any extra money and could only give up.

Afraid that Wen Nian would be sad, Shen Wei softened his tone and comforted her. “Anyway, there’s another piece. 10 million yuan is indeed too expensive. Let’s not bid.”

“Yes, it’s too expensive,” Wen Nian echoed. “If we lose ten million yuan, it’ll be even more expensive.”

Before Shen Wei could react, the first cut had already been made. Everyone at the scene gasped.

“What is this? Why does the auction have such a raw stone?”

“Could this be a scrap? But it doesn’t look like it.”

“Maybe it’s just thick skin. It can’t be like this. Otherwise, how could it get to the auction?”

“That’s right. I’ve seen the appearance of this stone. It must be a good stone.

It’s worth 10 million yuan!”

“It’s impossible for the second last item to not be something good?”

The people below discussed, but only Yang Ting remained silent. She kept comforting herself. Wei Xiao’s stone was not bad just now, so hers was definitely not a problem. Moreover, she had spent 10 million.

However, she did not expect that after the second slash, although there was a little green, there were many cracks.

There were very few serious cracks in this kind of raw stone, but there was a few percent chance that such a situation would happen. No one could guarantee how naturally formed stones grew.

Yang Ting thought about how Wen Nian’s first stone was the same. She felt a little more at ease. Then, she told the staff to cut it in the middle. She thought that it might be the same as Wen Nian’s stone. It was imperial jade inside, but the outer layers were not very good.

However, when the stone was cut down the middle, it split into two. Someone at the scene said, “It’s over.”

With a clang, Yang Ting’s heart sank when she saw the stone.

Although it was also green, the quality was indeed not good. More importantly, there was a very large penetrating crack, and there were many fine small cracks beside it. Such jade could at most be used as a small pendant, but it was also the least valuable.

Yang Ting was originally standing and watching, but when she saw the stone, she immediately collapsed on the chair. It was over now. Her 10 million yuan was gone just like that?

Jiang Chun left the auction almost immediately after seeing the stone cut in half. She knew very well what this meant. It was impossible for Yang Ting to ask her to pay for such a stone..
