The Lucky Star Reincarnates to Bring Her Family Fortune!

102 Another Crazy One

The stone-cutting master advised him according to the rules. “If you cut it again and nothing turns up, this stone would become worthless. Have you thought about it?”

Liu Gen swallowed his saliva and looked at the stone, his eyes bulging. Finally, he finished his appraisal and said, “Cut!”

Then, there was another buzzing sound. The raw stone was cut in half again, revealing the cut surface inside.

As expected, it was still grayish-white stone mixed with specks of green.

Nothing!

How did this happen?

Liu Gen’s mind went blank and his legs went weak. He collapsed to the ground and muttered in disbelief.

“It shouldn’t be. It shouldn’t be. Didn’t they say that she was protected by the Dragon King?”

When the surrounding people heard this, they sighed.

“Liu Gen, have you lost your mind from the blow? What nonsense are you talking about? What protection from the Dragon King?”

“Alright, another crazy one. Hahaha.”

They were talking and laughing, but they didn’t find it strange. It was a common sight as stone gambling is a game of high risk and high reward.

Naturally, there were also people who were greatly disappointed.

“Tsk tsk, the competition was so intense just now. I thought it was some top-grade stone so I stopped doing business to take a look. Look, he didn’t even manage to have a low-quality jade. He lost everything.”

“This Liu Gen must have really been kicked in the head by a donkey. That young lady is a newbie. It’s good for newbies to be lucky in the beginning, but they’ve already opened two. Even if she had beginner’s luck, it should be gone by now. He deserves it for snatching stones from a newbie.”

“This time, it’s a tragedy for him.”

After Liu Yu bought the stone, Zhou Xiaoli did not leave. Instead, she watched from afar. When she saw the outcome as she had expected, she sneered.

She turned around and said happily to Wei Chiyu, “Let’s buy a few stones before going home.”

Wei Chiyu’s eyes darkened, and an imperceptible gentleness flashed across his eyes. He nodded. “Okay.”

—

Previously, when many people at the entrance of the arena saw Liu Gen following Zhou Xiaoli and snatching her stone, they thought that this little girl was a powerful person who was hiding something.

From the looks of it, she was just an ordinary novice who had just entered the industry. Because it was her first time, she had beginner’s luck.

Instantly, everyone understood what was going on and stopped paying attention to Zhou Xiaoli.

Sensing that the random gazes had disappeared, Zhou Xiaoli smiled. Alright, she had achieved her goal.

Zhou Xiaoli, who was in a good mood, hummed a tune and went to the stall that she had already set her sights on.

She pointed at one of the stones. “This stone looks good. Buy it. Put it in a flower pot when you get home. It will definitely look good.”

Zhou Xiaoli blinked as she spoke in an extremely casual manner.

Wei Chiyu was in charge of paying.

After all, Zhou Xiaoli just said that her purse was missing. She could not expose herself now by paying.

Thus, Zhou Xiaoli casually bought three stones and prepared to leave.

As for the shop owners who had originally raised the prices, they shook their heads when they saw Zhou Xiaoli buying stones as if she was buying steamed buns.

“I thought she was some powerful figure, but it turns out that she’s just a willful young lady. Sigh, she’s just relying on her looks to be pampered by her husband now. If her husband gets tired of her, I don’t know how she’ll be cut off!”

“That’s right, that’s right. If she’s my wife, I don’t care how good-looking she is. If she dares to be such a spendthrift, I’ll beat her to death!”

“I don’t think that man is a good person either. He spent money on his wife frivolously. If I were his father, I would be furious!”

As soon as Zhou Xiaoli left, a few people shook their heads and began to discuss Zhou Xiaoli and Wei Chiyu.

It was obvious that they regarded Wei Chiyu as Zhou Xiaoli’s husband.

Wei Chiyu lagged behind as he paid for the various purchases. He hadn’t gone far and since he practiced martial arts, he had sharp hearing. He heard those people’s words clearly.

He couldn’t help but narrow his eyes. He turned around and walked back. He looked at the person who started the discussion and said coldly, “I’m happy to earn money for my wife to spend. I won’t get tired of spoiling her for the rest of my life. Why? Do you have a problem with that?”

Wei Chiyu’s tone was clearly very calm, but his sharp gaze could make one’s legs and stomach tremble with just a glance.

“I’m asking you a question. Why? Are you mute?” Wei Chiyu’s tone turned colder.

His palm seemed to gently hit the table but a finger-sized stone on the table shattered into pieces from the impact.

That person subconsciously swallowed his saliva and shook his head.

“No, I don’t have any objections. Young Master and Miss are a perfect match. You will definitely be together for a long time.”

“What about you guys?”

Wei Chiyu looked at the few people who had agreed in unison earlier.

The few of them immediately waved their hands and shook their heads. “No, no, I do not have any objections.”

Wei Chiyu frowned. “What else?”

Those people were stunned. They looked at each other and immediately understood what he meant.

“Young Master and Miss will definitely be together for 100 years.”

“That’s right, that’s right. Young Master and Miss are a golden couple, a match made in heaven.”

…

Only then did Wei Chiyu lighten up. He said coldly, “I advise you to watch your mouths. Otherwise, I don’t mind helping you to seal it up.”

Those people were so frightened that they kept quiet out of fear and only dared to nod.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoli, who had noticed that Wei Chiyu was not following her, turned around and shouted.

Only then did Wei Chiyu remove his cold gaze on them. He turned around and walked towards Zhou Xiaoli with a calm expression.

When Wei Chiyu stood beside her, Zhou Xiaoli asked curiously, “Why did you go back? What are you doing?”

Wei Chiyu said very calmly, “Oh, those people praised us. I went back to thank them.”

Zhou Xiaoli raised her eyebrows and looked at the people who were wiping their sweat from afar. She asked suspiciously, “Really?”

“Yes, of course.” Wei Chiyu nodded. “They praised you for your beauty.”

Zhou Xiaoli immediately fell silent. She recalled that she had just used this word to praise herself today.

She could not help herself but play dumb and laugh. “Haha, they have good taste.”

“Yes, indeed.” Wei Chiyu smiled.

“Then let’s go quickly. If we’re late, the Master will definitely punish me.”

As Zhou Xiaoli spoke, she pulled Wei Chiyu along and prepared to leave.

At this moment, a sharp cry suddenly rang out.

Immediately after, Liu Gen ran over and blocked their path.

“You want to run after hurting me like that? No way!”

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was going to fight with all his might.

Zhou Xiaoli frowned and said impatiently, “Why are you so difficult to deal with? You’re the one who stole my stone and made a loss. Are you crazy to look for me now?”

After losing 100 taels of silver, Liu Gen’s eyes turned red and he looked like a rascal. “I don’t care! You’re the one who tricked me. You have to compensate me for my losses. Otherwise, don’t even think about leaving!”

When the surrounding people saw this, they tried to persuade him. “Liu Gen, forget it. Forget it. You’ve been in this stone gambling den for so many years. Don’t you know? This is what stone gambling is like. When the stone has not been cut open, who knows if it’s a treasure or a dud?”
