"Five million, if you win, I will give you five million. If you lose, you only need to give me back my jade of ice type."

Xiang Bolong had already studied the raw stone and thought that it would never be possible to have a raise. He ignored Ding Ning’s tease and said full of confidence.

"Okay, I will take the bet."

Ding Ning looked hesitated, pretended that he had determined to take a big risk, and said with his teeth grinned after a long while.

Mu Yanran looked sulk, became colder and glared at Ding Ning with a blank expression.

Ding Ning then realized that the moon-dragon pendant had been given to Mu Yanran, and he agreed with the gamble without her permission. She would naturally feel uncomfortable.

He knew that he wouldn’t lose, but Mu Yanran did not know. It was reasonable that she felt unhappy. He smiled hurriedly and said, "Rest assured, I will not lose."

"Huh!" Mu Yanran did not understand why he would be that confident and tangled that if she should give Ding Ning back the moon-dragon pendant if Ding Ning lost. After all, she really liked it. Otherwise, she would never have accepted Ding Ning’s gift in disguised form according to her temperament.

"Oh, forget it. It’s not wise to argue with a jade carving master who would have a fine future over a three million dollars pendant." After a short battle in her mind, Mu Yanran quickly made a decision.

"Then let’s get started. There are so many people here to witness that there is no need to make a pact over such trivial five million dollars, right!"

Xiang Bolong said gently and took a glance at Mu Yanran. Although she was very cold with a powerful temperament that kept him from having a desire for her, as a proud and arrogant young master, he still wanted to attract her attention.

A man showing off his wealth in front of beauty shared the same rule that male animals showed off their muscles in front of female animals. It was an instinct.

"No problem!"

Ding Ning cheerily agreed. People who came here were mostly rich. They just wanted to show off.

Judging from Xiang Bolong’s friend circle, these people were all rich and wealthy. Even if Xiang Bolong lost, he wouldn’t go back on his word for his face sake.

It was just that he became more and more curious about the identity of the young man in white. When Mu Yanran first showed up, the group of playboy were all amazed with their eyes wide-opened as if a hungry wolf saw a little sheep. However, after the young man in white gave them an angry eye expression, they stopped drooling and became disciplined.

"Sir, how do you like to have it cut next?"

The stone cutting master wanted to cut in his way. But it related to a bet of five million dollars. He didn’t dare to make any mistakes. If the jade were cut off, he could not afford to take up the responsibility. Therefore he looked to Ding Ning with caution.

Ding Ning thought about it a little bit, asked for a sign pen, drew some marks on the raw stone, and said, "Cut according to the marks I made."

"Okay, sir!"

The stone cutting master answered heartily and cut according to the mark he made. He didn’t need to take up the responsibility even if the raw stone were cut broken.

"Oh, no. There’s more jade. It’s raising, really raising."

"There’s not only jade but also a weathered layer. He’s got really lucky."

"Wipe it quickly. Let’s see how transparency is."

"That was a stroke of great luck. A raw stone with such a bad appearance could have a raise. How strange this is."

...

As the stone cutting master cut, people got stunned and started to shout with envy or jealousy. Some brightened their eyes and thought of the price they should bid.

Of course, there were also people who got unhappy, such as Xiang Bolong and his friends.

Although it was Xiang Bolong who lost money, as friends who shared the same social circle, they certainly shared weal and woe together.

On the contrary, the young man in white was only slightly surprised, raised his eyebrows and said, "How lucky he is." Then he restored his lazy look soon.

It seemed that such a gamble of five million dollars was only a pediatric for him that he didn’t bother to care.

Xiang Bolong looked very desperate with his eyes convulsed with rage as if he had lost a family. Five million dollars were indeed nothing to him. But with the ice jade that he lost earlier, he lost almost ten million dollars in a day. Although it wouldn’t make him injured in the sinews or bones, it was enough to make him sad. Especially he lost twice to the same person. He would lose face for sure.

He wanted to eat his word. But there were too many people to do that. He didn’t want to lose face. Therefore he looked at Ding Ning with resentment and transferred the money to him. But he didn’t let it go and swore to take revenge.

Looking at the message from the bank on the mobile phone, Ding Ning smiled happily. It was so easy to make money.

But that was only the sweepstake. The largest share was yet to come. As the stone cutting master started to wipe the stone self-assertively, the glittering and translucent jade started to emerge through the weathered layer. People who were watching held their breath and discussed nervously with a low voice.

"It doesn’t look small by its appearance, should be as big as a basketball."

"This guy hit the jackpot. I wonder how its transparency is?"

"Judging by the color, I guess it would at least be the bean type."

"Maybe it’s the mottled-green type."

"It’s hard to say. Look at this green. It is likely to be a shiny type."

"Even if it is a mottled-green type, such a big chunk is worth a lot of money."

...

As the stone cutting master sanded carefully, a piece of jade bigger than a basketball was completely presented in front of people.

Mu Yanran’s eyes lit up. She went forward to observe it carefully. She said with excitement, "It’s the shiny type."

The stone cutting master also had a conclusion, nodded with a smile, and said, "Congratulations, it is indeed the shiny type."

"The shiny type. Wow. Such a big one. This bloke made a fortune."

"Yeah, he not only won five million dollars but also got the shiny type. It is really a good fortune."

"Damn it. Why didn’t this ever happen to me? I have spent millions of dollars and didn’t get any payback."

"Hum. I have spent tens of millions of dollars and only had one raise. It was a shiny type but much smaller than this one. I have lost a lot."

"Comparisons are odious. That is fate. A jade big like this could be carved into two big sculptures."

... With the stone cutting master’s determination, the appraisers of Qishi Fang also gave the identification, and the crowd boiled again.

"Little brother, do you want to sell it? I will give you three million dollars."

"Don’t you feel shameful to give only three million dollars? I will give four million dollars."

"Five million dollars."

"I will pay five million and five hundred thousand dollars."

"Six million dollars!"

"I will pay six million and one hundred thousand dollars."

"Six million and two hundred dollars."

...

As people quoted excitedly, the price quickly soared to six million. Although the frequency of bidding began to decline, many people had already withdrawn, the bid was no longer increasing one million by one million but one hundred thousand by one hundred thousand, it was still rasing.

Ding Ning rubbed his face. He felt like a dream. He casually had a stone cut and earned around seven to eight million. That was like a cakewalk.

It was no wonder that many people were obsessed with stone gambling. The feeling of excitement was really provocative. And it felt good to become rich overnight.

"Seven million and five hundred thousand dollars." A beautiful young woman seemed to be financially sound. And there were signs that she would stand out.

"Nine million dollars!"

As a cold voice raised, the other bidding voices suddenly stopped. From seven million and five hundred dollars to nine million dollars, the bidder seemed determined to be hell-bent on winning.

In all fairness, the market price of this jade was between eight million to nine million dollars. There were still a lot of profits by buying it at eight million dollars. However, if at nine million dollars, the profit margin would be the least. And it would be a rash act to make a further bid, which would be totally unnecessary. Therefore the beautiful young woman shrugged regretfully.

Ding Ning had long estimated the approximate market of this jade from the bids of these people. Watching Mu Yanran’s calm expression, he whispered to her ear with a low voice,

"Are you crazy? Even if you want to help me, you don’t need to bid such a high price. What if I couldn’t sell it?"

Mu Yanran looked at him with a strange expression and felt amused. This guy really took her as a helper to raise the price. She took a glare at him impatiently and said, "I am not shouting causally. I mean to buy."

"Oh, no need. If you like it, I will give it to you."

Ding Ning was fascinated by her charming glare with his eyes staring at her. He didn’t expect that when the Queen rolled her eyes, she would be still so beautiful that he would like to kill himself for her.

Mu Yanran felt ill at ease by his earnest staring. Her cheek blushed and thought that this guy had finally given himself away.

"He gave me a pendant worth more than three million dollars, and now he wants to give me this jade worth around eight million to nine million dollars without hesitation. Isn’t he trying to seduce me?"

Her face immediately returned to coldness, and said lightly, "Please have some self-respect, Mr. Ding. I am not familiar with you. This gift is too expensive. And I can’t afford to accept it."

Seeing that the Queen changed her face in an instant, Ding Ning felt speechless. But he also realized that his behavior was too obvious. He immediately coughed and whispered, "I thought we were friends."

"Friends? Are we familiar?" Mu Yanran said mercilessly with a frosty face to him.

In all fairness, Mu Yanran’s appearance was as beautiful as Shen Muqing and Ling Yun. Each had its own merits on their body figure. However, what attracted Ding Ning the most was her temperament that was sharp like a queen. And Ding Ning was drawn to that. She was his favored type. That was why his desire to conquer her was provoked.

Although he had been trying hard to hit on Mu Yanran, it was a man’s desire to conquer. He did not think about having an affair with her. After all, he had a girlfriend now.

What was there for her to get arrogant? Ding Ning was also a proud master. There was no chance that he would let her belittle him. He also showed a cold expression and said with self-mockery, "Yeah. Why would a small potato like me be friends with the dignified vice president of Tianfu Group?"

Mu Yanran heard a strong sense of irony, became colder, and said with a blank face, "Mr. Ding, I am scrupulous in separating public from private interests. I am now buying the raw material of jade for the company with the highest price. Can I have it now? I can transfer payment any time!"

Ding Ning was also an unbending person like a donkey who refused to obey. He raised his head proudly and said with a colder attitude, "This jade is mine. I have the right to sell to anyone I like. I don’t necessarily need to sell you because you give the highest price."

Then he turned around without taking a look at the angry Mu Yanran, pointed to the beautiful young woman, and said, "This beautiful sister, seven million and five hundred thousand, the jade is yours."

"Ah!" The young woman who was frustrated screamed with her red lips wide-opened. She did not expect that good luck would come like this, and her beautiful eyes sparkled the color of surprise.

"Yes, you didn’t get it wrong. This is my bank account. As long as you transfer money now, this jade is yours."

Ding Ning smiled subtly and took out the phone to show her the bank account without hesitation.

"Okay, okay, I will transfer the money now!"

The beautiful young woman feared that he would repent, took out her mobile phone, and immediately began to transfer money.

"You, why do you do this?"

Mu Yanran was angry. She had never met such a person who didn’t want money, and asked full of anger.
