In the Limelight (3)

As soon as Chi Shuyan said the words, everyone else fell silent. They shook their heads. This young lady had been lucky just now, but though she had opened a few pieces of jade, it was just that; her luck couldn't be good forever.

The others shook their heads. This young lady didn't listen to her seniors and was going to suffer a loss. She would probably regret it later after the stone was opened. If it were them, they would have taken advantage of the fact that the stone had yet to be cut to discuss it with the shopkeeper. Even if they couldn't get back the original price, they could at least get back a little. If the stone was directly opened, wouldn't it be like buying a lousy stone for nothing?

Several hundred thousands, maybe even more than a million for a lousy stone - just thinking about it made their hearts ache.
