To the hospital? No. Shangguan Mo would definitely find out that she was lying if he took her to the hospital, "No. No need for that. I’m just having a headache. I need to take a break!" Murong Xue said hurriedly.
"No. You have to see a doctor." How could she not go to see the doctor if she was sick? Besides, she was as bloodless as a ghost just now.
It was all because of his carelessness that he never found her bad body condition.
"But I don't like the hospital. All I want is to go home and have a good rest." Murong Xue said in a grievance.
"You look terrible. It must hurt very much. How can you come home now? You should lie down and have a rest here." Shangguan Mo directly gave her a princess hug.
"Oh!" Murong Xue exclaimed. The sudden suspension just now had scared her. She suddenly hugged Shangguan Mo's neck.
He gently put Murong Xue on the white bed and then carefully covered her with a quilt.
Murong Xue thought it was weird. Was it normal for him to be so gentle to her?
She felt something was out of her expectation. How strange it was!
Wasn't he trying to get her body?
If this was the case, why did he show unnecessary care to her? It would be easy for her to misunderstand.
Murong Xue frowned, staring at Shangguan Mo with complicated feelings.
"Does it really hurt?" Shangguan Mo asked softly.
Murong Xue shook her head subconsciously. Then realizing that she was still pretending to be sick, she nodded suddenly.
Shangguan Mo broke into laughter when seeing Murong Xue’s stunned reaction.
"Wait first. I'll let my family doctor come over and diagnose you. Have a rest now. If you feel uncomfortable, go to bed first." After finishing speaking, Shangguan Mo turned around, took out his mobile phone, and dialed out.
After talking on the phone for a while, Shangguan Mo hung up his cell phone.
Then he sat down on the side of the bed again, looking at Murong Xue gently.
Murong Xue's mouth twitched slightly. She didn't understand what on earth Shangguan Mo wanted to do!
She wasn't used to his acting like that. Now he was so gentle that he didn't look like himself at all.
"I'm much better now. I think there’s no need to call a doctor over!" Murong Xue said in a low voice.
"No. Even if it doesn't hurt anymore, it’s good to give you a health examination after all." Shangguan Mo said.
Well. In this case, she had nothing to say.
But the panic just now had disappeared. She now didn't think him so terrifying.
Before long, several doctors hurried over.
Murong Xue glanced at them in surprise.
She was just having a headache. She was not dying! Was it really necessary for Shangguan Mo to ask so many doctors to be here?
Also, Shangguan Mo was so particular about the details. He had denied so many suggestions. Throughout the whole process of examination, he only allowed the female doctor among them to check on Murong Xue. Murong Xue was quite speechless.
Shangguan Mo didn’t let the doctors go until they repeatedly confirmed that everything was normal with Murong Xue.
He frowned and kept asking Murong Xue, "Are you still not feeling well?"
"No. Nothing at all! You have asked me thousands of times." She had never known that he could be so tender.
Maybe she had paid too much attention to herself. She shouldn't always treat Shangguan Mo the same way she treated Fang Shihua.
That was very unfair to him.
Shangguan Mo could date any woman he desired. There was no need for him to treat her so special like this, right?
Besides, her own body was not so beautiful anyway.
But it might have something to do with Shangguan Mo's attitude. After all, he was a man of few words. Even if he spoke, sometimes she couldn't understand him at all.
Even for now, she was merely guessing.
Murong Xue was devoted to the pretended illness.
Shangguan Mo didn't act too much from beginning to end.
In the evening, as the bell rang, the auction and public tender for raw materials officially began.
Thanks to Shangguan Mo, Murong Xue and Gu Ming were sitting in a good position where they could see the raw materials on the auction clearly.
The first piece of the raw material on the auction was the most popular one during the day, which was as big as a small car. There was a stripe on its surface. Since the stripe looked good with its bright color, there must be a great chance for the jade to be contained in the stone. Its starting price was 3 million.
With the ringing of the first bell, people began to make bids in an endless stream. It only took a few minutes for the price to be increased from the initial 3 million to 10 million. And people still insisted on bidding, making the price go up desperately.
Murong Xue took the opportunity to use her perspective function, but she didn't see any color of jade within the stone. There was merely the white color inside, which meant that jade would definitely fail to be cut out from this piece of raw material.
Shangguan Mo next to Murong Xue also wanted to hold a sign. She subconsciously grabbed his hand that was holding the card. However, she regretted the movement as soon as she touched his hand. Why did she bother to stop him? It was not her business if he had a deficit. Why did she move? Her hands should be chopped off!
Shangguan Mo looked at Murong Xue questioningly and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Murong Xue said in low spirits, "Don't make the bid." Then she continued to watch the auction, taking no notice of him.
Shangguan Mo's facial expression had changed several times. Finally, he put down the sign in his hand. Of course, he gave up not because of the fear to lose such a small amount of money, but because he realized in surprise that his assumption in the afternoon was right! Murong Xue could actually know if there were emeralds in the raw materials. How shocking the truth was!
With the price going higher and higher, there were only a few bidders left. In the end, this piece of raw material was sold to a middle-aged fat jade merchant at a transaction price of 65 million.
The quality of raw materials next varied a lot. It took a long time for Murong Xue to wait for the huge piece of raw material that she wanted. It weighed one ton, containing the red emerald with gold lines.
The surface of this piece of raw material looked ordinary. It didn’t seem to be good. However, it was big enough, so many people still wanted to buy it.
The starting price was 10 million. Murong Xue did not bid immediately but observed the situation before bidding.
She straightened her body. When there were few people left to bid, Murong Xue suddenly raised her sign, "100 million!"
All the audience became quiet.
"One hundred million once!"
"One hundred million twice!"
"It’s a deal at the price of one hundred million!" Murong Xue smiled happily. Finally, she felt relieved. Her trick had worked. If she waited for everyone to increase the price little by little, she might not be able to get the stone with even more money. Fortunately, after she shouted out “100 million”, everyone present was stunned at once.
"…"
After that, there were no raw materials satisfying to Murong Xue, so she didn't make any bids afterward. However, Shangguan Mo made several bids and asked her every time before bidding. Murong Xue felt a deep crisis. Had this guy known her secret already? If she had predicted his thought in the first place, she shouldn't have stopped him from taking the first one.
After the raw material auction was over, there were raw materials for publicly bidding. Among them, she cared nothing but the one containing the imperial green.
"The winner of No. AK8537 is..."
"No. SF5435..."
"…"
It had been a long time before it was the turn of the piece containing imperial green wanted by Murong Xue.
"The winner of No. HU36468 is Ms. Murong Xue, bidding with the money of 1 million more than others!" It was the imperial green! All she wanted was the confirmation that it belonged to her! Ha-ha, she had got two pieces of treasure today.
Murong Xue's happiness was beyond description.
On the other hand, Shangguan Mo was constantly observing Murong Xue. Judging from her happy expression, it seemed that she had got a treasure. He would know if it was true when the stone was cut tomorrow.
Murong Xue had a sound sleep for a night.
On the second day, when Murong Xue and Gu Ming arrived at the stone-cutting yard, there were already many people surrounding the stone-cutting table. Most of them just came to watch. In this stone gambling assembly, the winner of the highest quality jadeite would receive an invitation letter to the International Stone Gambling Event in the capital and a 100 million bonus.
Murong Xue was not going to cut all the stones she had bought here, especially the stone containing the red emerald with gold lines. The main reason was that the stone containing the red emerald with gold lines was too big. She was afraid of causing people’s attention. Therefore, she only planned to cut the imperial jade that was not so big. She didn't care much about the bonus. She mostly wanted the invitation letter of the International Stone Gambling Event.
There were 50 machines on the stone-cutting tables in all. So Murong Xue didn’t have to line up. She asked the waiter directly to transport the piece of raw material containing the imperial jade.
Shangguan Mo immediately followed Murong Xue when he saw that she was going to cut the stone. Just now, he had gone to see the cutting of yesterday's first piece of raw material on the auction, and the result turned out to be disappointing.
There was an uproar in the audience just after the first cut. Although there was the green color, it was not outstanding.
There were white lines in the green exposed at the incision, which were too big and made the color of the jade not bright. If it was such a jade, then Murong Xue must suffer a big loss. The people who had watched the process were also talking about it.
Shangguan Mo was surprised. He thought it should be a high-grade jade, judging from how happy Murong Xue was yesterday.
But Shangguan Mo saw that Murong Xue, who was around the stone-cutting table, seemed not to be worried at all. Instead, she was very calm. Was there anything unusual? Shangguan Mo held up his thoughts and waited quietly.
Murong Xue cautiously let the master of cutting stones start rubbing the stones. She didn't want to waste any bit of the imperial green. Rubbing the stone took a lot of time. The jade that came out after the rubbing was still in the same color as that revealed just now.
People around had started to chat while waiting and feeling bored.
"Look at the jade that has been cut out. It seems that she is going to suffer a loss."
"Sure enough. She is still a child. Her ability to select raw materials still needs to be improved."
"Isn't it true? Even if she is rich, how can she waste money like that?"
"…"
Just when everyone was mocking, Shangguan Mo, who had been staring at the process of cutting the stone, found a hint of gratifying emeralds at once. It was just that the green hadn't been unraveled a lot, so he was not sure.
When the whole piece of jade was cut out, everyone was shocked.
The noble and elegant emerald was astonishingly beautiful. This must be the legendary jade.
"Oh my God! Isn’t this imperial jade?!"
A whole piece of imperial jade! Although there was the color of green mixed with white of half a finger’s length at the first cutting, the others were all imperial green.
"Oh my god. This lady must be the champion of the stone gambling assembly. Who can win over the imperial green?"
"Of course."
"Hey. This lady looks a bit familiar."
"She is the Eldest Miss of the Murong Family. Isn't it normal for her to look familiar?"
"No. I remembered that the last time I bought raw materials from a raw material dealer, I happened to see this little girl there, too. Last time she also cut out the imperial green, but she resold it immediately after it was cut out."
"Oh my god. She actually cut out the imperial green twice. Maybe she has got some secrets."
"…"
Murong Xue was terrified by everyone's enthusiastic eyes.
Needless to say, Murong Xue won the first prize with a bonus of 100 million yuan and an invitation letter for the International Stone Gambling Event.
Murong Xue asked Gu Ming to transport the remaining raw materials to the company. She wouldn’t cut stones here anymore.
Even so, Murong Xue still attracted the attention of many people. The achievement of cutting out two pieces of imperial green must be eye-catching. And that piece of imperial green was bought by Shangguan Mo. Murong Xue didn't refuse either. After all, the price offered by Shangguan Mo was not low. Although this time the jade was even larger than the last one, Shangguan Mo paid her 10 billion, which was ten times the money last time.
Murong Xue only regarded him as a stupid man with a lot of money. She accepted his offer calmly.
Now both her medical department and catering department had funds to operate.
This trip really solved a lot of her problems.
