My Sweet Physician Wife Calls The Shots

"Miss Zhong, aren't we talking about stone gambling? Gamble only if you're willing. If you don't dare to gamble, hand over 20 million and you can leave. You're not welcome at our Soaring Clouds Pavilion."

"Of course, why shouldn't I be? I said I'll give my grandfather green imperial jade."

Then, Zhong Nuannuan lifted the biggest raw stone out of the cart.

This rock weighed at least 60 catties. Yet, everyone was shocked to discover that Zhong Nuannuan easily picked up the rock that weighed sixty to seventy catties.

"You don't have to cut the other stones. I'm afraid that it'll just anger you. I'll use this one to gamble with you. As long as this raw stone doesn't contain jade above the grades of ice jade, I'll give you 20 million. How about that?"

Looking at Zhong Nuannuan's charitable expression, Ling Li wanted to reject her. However, after some thought, he could not find a reason to turn down easy money. Thus, he decided to agree immediately.

Zhong Nuannuan smiled at Old Master Chi. "Grandpa, I'll definitely give you a good piece of jade!"

Before the old master could say anything, the onlookers started to lose their composure.

"A big rock like that usually turns out to be a scam. You should change another one!"

"Ice jade aside, even the oily green jade can't be found in such a big rock."

"Do you really think that the rock is more valuable the bigger it is?"

The old master peered at them with the corner of his eyes. "Who said jade can't be found inside a big rock? I think this rock has good quality. It looks much better than the stone that someone stole from me!"

Everyone, "...!!!"

Ling Pinyuan thought, '... Are you blind?'

Zhong Nuannuan thought, '...Grandpa, you don't have to be so supportive, y'know...'

Meanwhile, Ling Li could not withhold his excitement. "Since Miss Zhong thinks that this piece will definitely produce ice jade, let's cut this piece."

Therefore, he gave the largest raw stone to the lapidary.

When the lapidary saw such a huge rock, he followed his usual methods and was prepared to cut into a third of the raw stone.

"Wait!"

Zhong Nuannuan quickly stopped him.

Since this lapidary was from the Soaring Clouds Pavilion too, he was naturally displeased with Zhong Nuannuan. He looked up unhappily. "What?"

"Who told you to cut it like that? What if you damage my jade? Are you going to pay for it? If it's really imperial jade, I can only demand Soaring Clouds Pavilion to reimburse me."

She was right. After all, it was Jiang District. Even the entire Ling Group only had a net worth of a few billion. Such a large piece of rare imperial jade could indeed purchase the entire Ling Group over.

However, Zhong Nuannuan's words were met with scornful ridicule by the lapidary.

"Tsk. I'm helping you cut it because you made a bet with our boss. Do you honestly think it contains jade?"

Zhong Nuannuan slid the pen around the raw stone. Although she was not aiming for the jade, it was close enough.

"You don't have to worry about that. Since you've taken the money, you should do your job well. Cut it from here. After you make the first cut, change to inspect it with a torch."

The lapidary, "...!!!"

"You want me to inspect such a big rock? How many eternities do you want me to take?"

Zhong Nuannuan looked at Ling Li with a smile. "Mr. Ling, your employees are not very obedient. Since he doesn't want to do it, you either fire him, or we can forget about our bet."

Upon hearing her suggestion of canceling the bet, how could Ling Li let things slide?
