1265 Words
Following his gaze, Mia Bo saw Jacob Ye with an elegant lady. Although Megan Lan did not possess any jewellery, Mia Bo knew that Megan Lan looked much more elegant than her. Mia Bo was unhappy to see that. She had always thought that she had an extraordinary appearance. She was jealous, it was only a few days after they broke up but Jacob Ye had already found a girlfriend that looked much better than her.
Mia Bo said with a scornful look, "Jacob, don’t you know what kind of occasion is this? You are so poor that you can’t afford these. Are you trying to make a fortune quickly by gambling?
Jaocb Ye frowned. All the people present today were indeed people of high status. But Mia Bo did not have any right to look down on him.
Everyone else here was well behaved. Mia Bo was being very mean.
Jacob Ye frowned a few times and finally decided to endure it. After all, this was Cole Lin’s place. It will be difficult to explain to Cole Lin if anything happens.
Seeing that Jacob Ye didn't say a word, Mia Bo added, "It has only been a few days and you are fooling around with another girlfriend?" She then said in a loud voice, "Miss, this guy is a poor man. He always puts up an act to pretend that he is rich. Don't be fooled by him!"
They had not learnt from the incident that happened at Great Dynasty previously. They still thought that Jacob Ye had stolen the card, the one Gavin Feng had given to him.
Megan Lan's expression changed as well. She looked at Jacob Ye with questioning eyes, she didn't understand why the girl in front of her, who dressed up so luxuriously, was very angry with Jacob Ye.
Jacob Ye smiled bitterly and whispered, "She is my ex-girlfriend, who thought I was poor, dumped me a few days ago."
Megan Lan realized that Mia was a gold-digger, but it seemed that Mia didn't know that Jacob Ye's current status was different from before.
She took Jacob Ye’'s hand and said, "I don’t mind if he is poor or not. What I want is this man, is happiness, not money. It’s better than finding a rich playboy."
"Who are you talking about?" Noah Sun was very furious. He knew about his own problems. He was looking at Jacob Ye with hatred and didn’t notice Megan Lan.
After Noah Sun saw Megan Lan, he was stunned by her appearance. He felt sorry for Megan Lan for meeting such a poor man.
Noah Sun was furious seeing Megan Lan holding Jacob Ye’s hand. He couldn’t understand what charm Jacob Ye possessed that his new girlfriend was even prettier than Mia. Initially, he thought Mia Bo had an outstanding appearance but not when she is compared with Megan Lan.
Noah Sun took out a business card with a smile and said, "Hello, Miss. My name is Noah Sun. Let's get to know each other."
The business card was made of pure gold. In order to be boastful, Noah Sun always brought a few cards with him every time he went out to date girls. It always brought him advantages.
Mia Bo was annoyed by Noah Sun’s action. But she could not do anything about it since she knew very well about Noah Sun’s character. She could not control him.
Jacob Ye was very obedient to her when Mia Bo was dating him. But now she dared not to retort to such disdainful remarks from Noah.
She looked at Megan Lan with jealousy and wished she could scratch Megan Lan's delicate face.
Megan Lan ignored the brilliant business card in Noah Sun’s hand. She just took Jacob Ye’s hand and said, "Let’s go over there and have a look."
Jacob responded and left together with Megan Lan.
Noah Sun did not expect that Megan Lan would not accept his business card. His hand froze in the air, holding his card.
Although everyone at the event was rich, no one would create a business card with pure gold. Only those that just got rich recently would do that to boast about their wealth.
Noah Sun felt mocking gazes from the people around him. He was furious and kept his business card immediately.
On the other side of the room where many stones were displayed, many people standing in front of a huge stone. A few jewellery dealers and gamblers were pointing and discussing the huge stone.
The raw stone looked very good with very clear patterns. It looked crystal clear.
In general, the probability of emerald appearing among these stones was very high, and the quality would not be too low, so this raw stone was also very expensive, it cost 8,880,000 yuan.
The people present were all discussing the stone.
"It seems that this stone is very likely to have jade."
"Not bad, and it's of high quality."
"Of course. I heard that this is the grand finale of this event. Even its price is 8,880,000 yuan"
The staff standing in front of the huge stone said, "This stone can be auctioned, and the highest bidder can get it."
As soon as he finished his words, the crowd immediately cheered up, "I offer 9 million."
" Nine million and ninety thousand!... Ten million!..."
The price of this stone kept soaring, and Julian Zhou was among the crowd, excitedly bidding with the crowd.
Jacob Ye looked at the stone carefully and found that its patterns were clear and its appearance was really good. Unfortunately, the Chi it exuded was too little. It was definitely not worth eight million yuan.
"Jacob, there must be emerald in this stone." said Megan Lan.
Jacob Ye shook his head and said with a smile, "Not necessarily."
When the price of the raw stones reached 30 million, there were fewer people bidding. Only Julian Zhou and Wyatt Dong were still bidding.
Julian Zhou’s family was in the jewellery business. If the stone was really good, the jewellery carved by the stone could be sold at a high price, so he was determined to get this stone.
On the other side, Wyatt Dong seemed to be against Julian Zhou. Every time Julian Zhou bid, he immediately raised the price.
In this way, the price of the raw gemstone rose to 50 million under their call. Then Julian Zhou called to ask his father for permission, and he continued to bid.
Jacob Ye walked towards Julian Zhou, gently pulled him away, and then slightly shook his head at him.
Julian Zhou was stunned. He understood what Jacob Ye meant. Jacob Ye might have seen something wrong about this raw stone.
Julian Zhou recalled the incident with the blue-and-white porcelain, when the two well-known appraisers had made a bad judgement. As a result, Jacob Ye made a fortune from it. Was this raw stone really not worth this price?
Out of trust for Jacob Ye. Julian Zhou did not make another bid. Eventually, the buyer of this raw stone was Wyatt Dong.
Wyatt Dong glanced at Julian Zhou with a sneer. Wyatt Dong said triumphantly, "Julian can't you afford it?"
Julian Zhou replied coldly and sarcastically, "Yeah, I can’t afford it. Mr. Dong, I hope it’s a good stone .”
"Haha, since this stone is the finale, of course it can bring me more fortune. Mr. Zhou, just wait and see. Perhaps later I will donate some broken pieces to you. You can't return empty-handed after travelling all the way here."
