Chapter 178 - 178 178 This is Too Amazing
?Chapter 178: Chapter 178 This is Too Amazing Chapter 178: Chapter 178 This is Too Amazing Su Qinglan had personally experienced the effectiveness of Luo Ning’s peace charm.
She couldn’t help but give Luo Ning a kiss on the other cheek, “I’ve fallen in love with you too.”
She needed to prepare a gift in return for Luo Ning, as the peace charm was too valuable, and she felt embarrassed to simply accept it.
As for the possibility of Luo Ning not being able to produce jade, neither of them had considered it.
The two of them kissed Luo Ning’s cheeks, one on each side, causing Lu Xun and Ji Xinghang, who were following behind, to frown at the same time.
Ji Xinghang particularly complained, “What is it with women these days, not keeping their reserve in public, all this kissing and cuddling, what does that look like?”
He wouldn’t admit that he felt a pang of jealousy because he hadn’t yet kissed Ningning like that.
He even regretted that during the year he was close with Luo Ning, because of all the silly defiance, they hadn’t been affectionate either.
Actually, many times he impulsively wanted to kiss her but deliberately held back, pretending to preserve his dignity.
Now he didn’t want to feign dignity, but she wouldn’t let him kiss her.
Ah, the more he thought about it, the more he hated his past self.
Why had he acted so ridiculously after they got together, as if suddenly having a teenage crisis, even though he used to be quite mature?
This time, Lu Xun rarely agreed, “Exactly, we can’t let them do this in the future.”
He still hadn’t kissed his own wife, and these two women had already taken the advantage.
Their voices weren’t quiet, and the three in front heard them.
Ni Xinxuan turned her head and smilingly said to them with a smug look, “Look how envious you are, just keep being sour.”
Su Qinglan also turned her head with a smile, “Exactly, your envy is useless, Ningning is ours.”
Actually, they were too excited just earlier, which led them to kiss Luo Ning’s cheeks.
Thinking about it now, it felt somewhat embarrassing.
Lu Xun, Ji Xinghang: “Shameless.”
Luo Ning smiled helplessly, “In the future, my cheeks are reserved for my boyfriend, you two had better behave.”
Ni Xinxuan reached out and pinched Luo Ning’s tender, smooth cheeks, “Yes, in the future, leave all this for your boyfriend.”
The three soon burst into laughter and play.
Luo Ning felt warm inside, having a few close girlfriends was really wonderful.
In her last life, she had mainly focused her time and energy on Ji Xinghang and, aside from Xi Shu, hadn’t made other close girlfriends.
The three beautiful women, laughing and chatting, naturally attracted the attention of everyone present.
Especially the men, most of whom couldn’t resist glancing their way.
Feng Yuxiao also saw this from not far away.
When he saw Luo Ning hanging out with Ni Xinxuan, his face grew colder.
This young starlet seemed quite shrewd, not only stringing along two men with connections but also befriending someone formidable like Ni Xinxuan.
The more such things happened, the stronger his dislike and displeasure towards Luo Ning grew.
Especially when he thought about the rough stone he had his eye on, potentially capable of giving top-grade jade, which this woman had bought, it really choked him up.
What depressed him was that Gao Fei Jewelry had actually bought most of the rough stones he was interested in.
He had thought this time he’d make a big name for himself, but his plans had gone awry.
He somehow felt it wasn’t supposed to be like this.
Since not many rough stones he bought in the trading area were likely to produce high-quality jade, he could only look forward to the afternoon auction.
Then he sought out Lu Xun’s figure, and when he saw him walking with Gao Fei’s president, Yu Zihang, looking rather friendly, his brow furrowed.
Could it be that this Young Master Lu and Yu Zihang were acquaintances?
He hadn’t heard before that Yu Zihang had any significant connections!
It seemed he needed to pay more attention in the future.
After a while, the other guests and students had all purchased their rough stones.
Wei Yao laughed and asked Luo Ning and others, “Have you all chosen your rough stones?”
Luo Ning nodded, “Yes, we have. What about you?”
“We’re ready, too. Shall we go check out the stone cutting area now?” Wei Yao and his group looked eager.
It was their first time gambling on stones, so naturally, they were curious to see if they could find jade in the rough stones they had chosen.
Su Qinglan and Ni Xinxuan agreed, “Sure, let’s head to the stone cutting area.”
Then Luo Ning was dragged by the two of them and followed everyone to the Stone Cutting Area.
There were people cutting stones at the Stone Cutting Area, and seeing these celebrities, many who were waiting turned to let them go first.
The organizers arranged for a few more stone cutting masters to come over since there were quite a few people in the director’s team.
The live broadcast cameras were also pointing at the Stone Cutting Area.
The director asked with a smile, “Who among you wants to go first?”
Wei Yao and his group immediately stood out, “I’ll give it a try.”
Luo Ning said with a smile, “It looks like I bought the most, so I’ll go last.”
The others had only bought a few pieces, and some students had bought just one or two, unlike her who had bought over twenty rough stones.
No one objected, and then they started cutting stones.
Wei Yao bought six pieces. After cutting, only one of them contained a bean seed jade the size of a palm.
It was not worth as much as the six rough stones he bought, so overall, it was a bust.
But he didn’t lose much, and he said with a smile, “This luck is pretty good, I thought it would be a total bust.”
Next was Chai Jing’s turn, and he was less fortunate. He bought five rough stones, but not a single piece of jade was found.
He said with a laugh yet a bit despondent, “I was thinking about boasting to my wife if I found jade, but now I got excited for nothing.”
Wei Yao chuckled, “You spent tens of thousands and busted, guess you’ll have to kneel on a washboard when you get home.”
Chai Jing retorted irritably, “That’s clear to you.”
Tens of thousands were not a big amount for him, but still, getting nothing was somewhat disappointing.
Hence, he couldn’t help but say to the audience in front of the live broadcast, “So, gemstone gambling requires caution, those who can find jade are truly a minority.”
“Even if you find it, it doesn’t mean you’ll profit. I’ve lost,” Wei Yao added from the side.
The director consoled the two of them with a smile and continued watching the others.
Out of the six stones Su Qinglan had, three turned out to have jade.
One was bean seed, one was oil green; both of these pieces were of low-end quality.
But the last one had middle to high-quality ice jade, which was a big win.
“Ah, I can’t believe it’s ice jade, Ningning, I love you to death.”
Su Qinglan knew this was the last rough stone that Luo Ning had advised them to add, so she shouted excitedly.
Randomly picking a stone that turned out to be middle to high-quality ice jade made her reaffirm Luo Ning’s remarkable skill.
Ni Xinxuan was also taken aback, “Looks like my stone can also produce jade, I believe in Little Ningning.”
Sure enough, when it was time to cut her seven jade stones, three pieces also contained jade.
One was of low-quality Huaqing jade, one was middle-quality bean seed.
The last piece turned out to be a top-grade Red Jade, looking vibrant in color, delicate in texture, and very beautiful.
“Little Ningning, I absolutely love you too, this piece of Red Jade is substantial enough for bracelets for the three of us.”
She had casually mentioned earlier that it would be great if Red Jade appeared because she wanted a Red Jade Bracelet, and unexpectedly, it really did appear.
Key to her disbelief, it was the last rough stone that Luo Ning advised her to add; she didn’t think it was just her luck that coincided, this was too miraculous.
Luo Ning was amazing, truly deserving the title of her best girlfriend.
