This stone was very long and narrow, and it was not thick. The first few cuts were all green. This kind of jade was the most ordinary type. Although it was not the cheapest, it was indeed not worth much.
Unexpectedly, the green color becdeeper and deeper in the middle. Moreover, it turned into a glass type. Although it was only a small area, it still shocked many people at the scene.
“This was bid by Old Master Shen? He really has a discerning eye!”
“Although this imperial jade is such a small piece, it is probably worth millions, right?”
“If we continue, can it reveal a large piece of imperial jade? Will Old Mr. Shen be selling this stone? Sell it to me!”

Shen Wei accepted all the comments and compliments from the people around him. Although he wasn’t the one who bid it, he was the one who asked Wen Nian to do so. No matter what, he had good taste.
Initially, he wanted to get someone to continue opening it, but Wen Nian shook her head. “Grandpa, let’s continue looking at the other stones? This one won’t make a loss, right?”
“Of course! Just that small piece just now is probably worth two to three million yuan as a pendant. If it’s a master craftsman, the price will be even higher!” Shen Wei’s expression was a little proud. “As expected of someone Grandpa has taken a fancy to. You’re indeed not bad.”
Wen Nian chuckled. “Grandpa, you have a discerning eye. However, I reckon only this stone is the greenest. There are so many experts in the auction house. Are they giving us a chance?”
The Shen family naturally did not lack this bit of money, but Old Mr. Wen felt that he had gained sface. He kept feeling that Wen Nian’s luck was indeed too good. She could double the value of a random stone.
However, only Wen Nian knew that many people had taken a fancy to this number 3 stone in her previous life. At that time, someone had spent five million yuan to buy it back.
However, it was a pity that there was only a small piece of imperial jade in the middle. In the end, that person naturally lost money.
With such a small climax in the auction, the price of the following auctions rose even higher. There were also a few top-grade items that appeared, and everyone was even more excited. During the intermission, Old Mr. Shen returned to the lounge.
“I’m really getting old. In the past, I wouldn’t feel tired even if I sat at such an auction for a day.” Shen Wei rubbed his waist and said with a smile, “However, Wen Nian was lucky. There’s nothing good in the first half. The good stones are in the second half. When the tcomes, you can help Grandpa choose.”
Wen Nian wanted to be humble, but Shen Jun spoke first. “Once is enough. People’s luck is limited.”
“Wen Nian is the daughter-in-law of our Shen family. She’s lucky! Stop saying unpleasant things!” Shen Wei refused to give in.
Seeing that the grandfather and grandson were bickering again, Wen Nian quickly found an excuse to go to the toilet and escape.
Wen Nian wanted to cout for a breather, but just as she stepped out of the door, she saw Yang Ting walking over with ill intentions.

“You’re quite lucky. Old Mr. Shen asked you to choose a stone, and you happened to choose the only imperial jade in the first half. Congratulations.” Although she was congratulating her, Yang Ting’s tone was very unpleasant.
Wen Nian smiled and said, “Thank you.”
She wanted to go straight back to the lounge, but Yang Ting pressed on. “Don’t think that the Shen family will like you just because you used stricks. You’re just an artiste. To put it bluntly, you’re just a plaything. Shen Jun can have any woman he wants. Don’t be smug!”
“Yes, he can have any woman he wants.” Wen Nian smiled indifferently. “Unfortunately, he doesn’t want you. It’s useless no matter how jealous you are of me, right?”
“You!” Yang Ting reached out to hit her, but she was grabbed by a big hand.
Wei Xiao said helplessly, “It’s not good for such a beautiful lady to attack here, right?”
“Why? Is your ex-fiance here to save the damsel in distress?” Yang Ting’s mood worsened when she saw that it was Wei Xiao. “Why don’t you take a look at yourself? She has climbed up the social ladder. Can she still like you?”
Wei Xiao smiled indifferently and looked up again. “I’m doing this for your own good. There are so many surveillance cameras at the auction house. If word gets out, not to mention Miss Yang, even your father might not be able to explain it, right?”
Only then did Yang Ting look at the surveillance camera guiltily. Then, she glared at Wen Nian before leaving. However, she only stopped at the corner.
“Why do you always meetwhen you encounter such things?” Wei Xiao looked at Wen Nian with a faint smile. “Congratulations, you got the imperial jade the moment you made a move. I wonder when you started to have such good judgement?”
Wen Nian raised an eyebrow.. “You don’t think I know about raw stones, do you?”
