Chapter 100: Chapter 100 We’re Comparing Who’s More Profligate 2(3)_1
Logically speaking, Ye Sanshao, such a charming man, would catch everyone’s attention even if he were in a corner. Yet strangely, no one seemed to notice him, and even Shangguan You couldn’t feel his presence.
There he sat quietly, holding a glass of red wine, his slightly wicked face intently fixed on every grin and giggle of Shangguan You, observing her every action and word. The more he watched, the more amused Ye Sanshao found her. At this point, he was even more eager to see how this girl would perform.
"Yu Zifeng is letting me choose first? But don’t regret it, okay?" Shangguan You, holding Shangguan Qing’s hand, looked at Yu Zifeng with a light smile. She asked as if she was afraid Yu Zifeng would regret taking the stone she wanted.
"Of course, ladies first! If the little lady loses, she can’t say I bullied her, and if she loses, she must accept the punishment. By then, you can’t back out," Yu Zifeng said, his lips curling up, fully exhibiting his gentlemanly demeanor.
"If I lose, not only do I throw away millions, but I also get punished," Shangguan You said, blinking her clear eyes at Shangguan Qing, as if to ask what happens if she loses.
Shangguan Qing explained, "It’s actually quite simple. The loser just has to satisfy one demand of the winner, as long as it’s not too excessive, they must agree. The stakes for this contest have already been set. Whether it’s me or Yu Zifeng, the loser must accept."
"No way, Brother Qing, what if I lose and he tells me to run naked?" Shangguan You exclaimed, feigning shock as if she were truly frightened by the notion.
"COUGH, COUGH, COUGH." At Shangguan You’s words, Shangguan Qing almost choked on his saliva, coughing lightly. My girl can even come up with such an idea! However, there was one time when he lost, and the shameless Yu Zifeng actually did make him run naked. Luckily, they were young back then and few people knew about it.
But Yu Zifeng didn’t gain any advantage either. Afterward, Shangguan Qing won it back, and Yu Zifeng similarly had to streak, so things were even. Neither gained any benefit, and when they went home, they were both severely disciplined by their grandfather.
"COUGH, COUGH, girl, don’t worry. If you lose, I’ll stand up for you."
"Girl, Yu Zifeng initiated this. Such a thing won’t happen, and even if he really tells you to streak, I am here too," Gui Luo said, his expression a bit stiff. It seems not only Shangguan Qing, but Gui Luo had also experienced his share of streaking. Naturally, their voices weren’t loud, but Yu Zifeng and Zhang Yuchen could hear every word clearly.
Their expressions stiffened for a moment before returning to normal. It seemed many had suffered the indignity of streaking. These young masters did outrageous things that left one speechless. The winner would always gloat, while the loser surely had a miserable time and was punished at home afterward.
"Don’t worry, girl. If you lose, I will be lenient. COUGH, COUGH, COUGH, choose a stone," Yu Zifeng coughed lightly, whispering to Shangguan You, feigning embarrassment. In fact, tonight he had planned to embarrass Shangguan Qing, but now the person had changed, and it was this very girl, so he wouldn’t be too hard on her. A token gesture will be enough.
"Really? Then I’ll take the largest one here. Yu Zifeng, you better not compete with me for it," Shangguan You said, pointing at the largest stone. Onlookers watched her casually pick the biggest stone, as if she feared Yu Zifeng would snatch it away from her, and couldn’t help but let out sarcastic chuckles.
"Miss Shangguan, you really choose this stone? You know a large stone doesn’t necessarily have jade in it," Gu Duoduo said gently, her voice full of sarcasm.
"I’ll pick this one. I believe in myself," Shangguan You laughed lightly, not bothering with the disdainful gazes of everyone around. Shangguan Qing and Gui Luo sighed deeply. They both considered the large stone a poor choice, as few people usually selected such a big one, yet now the girl had chosen the biggest.
They both shook their heads, not having much faith in the stone.
"Girl, are you really picking this one? Do you know that such a large stone has little chance of containing jade? It’s not too late to back out if you regret it," Yu Zifeng said, looking at Shangguan You with an amused expression. By her demeanor, she seems like a complete amateur.
"Yu Zifeng, you just said you wouldn’t compete with me for it. Now you want to back out?" Shangguan You asked, looking worriedly at the stone she had picked, as if she feared Yu Zifeng would snatch it away.
"Alright, alright, I won’t," Yu Zifeng said with a chuckle, picking a stone that was neither too big nor too small, also priced at five million.
"Girl, once you’ve finished choosing, let’s just wait over there for them to cut it open. Don’t worry, if you really lose, there’s someone to take the consequences," Yu Zifeng said, standing aside, watching as the two stones were moved into place, ready to be slowly sliced open by the cutting machine.
"Yu Zifeng, the results haven’t come out yet, so it’s too early to say who wins or loses," Shangguan Qing said with a light chuckle, seemingly very trusting of Shangguan You. In truth, I also have no confidence. The stakes this time are high, and the gambling contract is unavoidable. Unless jade worth more than five million emerges, the consequences will be the same for everyone.
In fact, the reason Shangguan You chose such a large stone was not that she had X-ray vision, nor could she feel the presence of jade within the stone. She simply used a commonly used but otherwise useless Clairvoyance Spell from the Contract Document, so she naturally knew which stone contained jade.
Although I picked the largest one, what I see is a sea of green—emerald green, the finest quality of jade.
During the cutting, Shangguan You stood right next to the workers, guiding where to start and where to cut from. Yu Zijin watched as large chunks of stone were cut away, her mouth twisted in a derisive smile.
"Miss Shangguan, you have such great taste. This stone you chose really is... quite something," Yu Zijin said with a sneer.
"Indeed, Miss Shangguan is very generous. Five million and not even a trace of jade, just thrown into the ocean. I’m impressed. Just now Daddy and Yu Zifeng kindly advised you, Miss Shangguan, you really can’t appreciate kindness," Gu Duoduo’s voice floated lightly.
"What a pity, what a pity, five million up in smoke just like that," Gu Weixiong said with a look of regret as he watched Shangguan You’s stone being cut in half without a trace of jade in sight.
"What’s to pity? It’s just a stone. I’ll buy a few more later."
Shangguan You snorted coldly and ignored them both. I’m in dire need of money—I’ve been worrying about where to earn some, but now an opportunity to make money is right in front of me. I’m in a good mood and choose not to bother with those two women.
