Upon closer look, she found that beneath the outer layer of quartz and minerals, red jade was actually inside.
This shop owner was indeed as blind as a layman.
After crouching on the ground for some time, Janet started to feel pins and needles in her feet so she tugged at Mason’s shirt while softly saying, “Pull me up.”
Upon hearing that, Mason smiled before tightly holding her hand and pulling her up. With a sudden lift, Janet lost her balance and almost fell into the man’s arms.
When Janet’s hand touched his chest, she accidentally grabbed it…
Strangely, it felt quite good…
Wait! I’m supposed to be inspecting goods now, not being horny.
With his ears flushed red, Henry cleared his throat and asked, “Miss Janet, are you done choosing the jade roughs?”
“Yeah. I found treasure.” Overjoyed, Janet went to look for the shop owner to purchase it.
If there was truly red jade in it, she would definitely have a windfall.
With that thought, she couldn’t help but feel delighted but when she was about to make the payment, she suddenly realized something. If she found a red jade on her first try, would Henry and Mason be suspicious?
As someone who was always prudent, Janet pondered for a while before finally setting her eyes on the biggest jade rough there.
“Boss, I want these two,” said Janet to the shop owner while pointing at them.
Upon hearing that, the shop owner immediately rushed over and asked, “Miss Janet, have you made up your mind?”
“Yes, I’ll take these two!” Janet nodded with a poker face.
Henry took a look at it and couldn’t help but feel curious as to why the jade roughs she chose were unusually-shaped and pitch-black. Most importantly, she even chose a huge one…
He thought, Although she is an expert in medical skills, she is truly no expert in this.
Henry then patted Mason’s shoulder. “Young Master Mason, what do you think?”
Squinting, a coddling smile appeared on Mason’s face. “Let her be. As long as she’s happy, I’m fine.”
Henry was rendered speechless.
Upon seeing the two oddly-shaped, worthless jade roughs that Janet had chosen, the shop owner beamed with joy while asking, “Miss Janet, is that all? Do you want other stones?” Someone finally bought from this pile of worthless jade roughs.
“No, that’s all.” Expressionlessly, Janet shook her head and took out her bank card from her bag.
After the card was swiped, the transaction was done.
Overwhelmed with delight, the shop owner grinned and asked, “Miss Janet, do you want to cut the jade roughs now?”
“Yes.” Janet nodded.
Looking at Mason, Janet asked, “Mr. Lowry, do you think that there’s green jade in it?”
He seemed to be put in a difficult position as he frowned and replied, “I don’t think so.”
Janet then snorted under her breath.
However, Mason added slowly right after that, “It might be in a color other than green.”
Just then, Henry walked over and shook his head while smiling. “How can these two miserable stones be jade, let alone in other colors?”
Upon hearing Henry’s words, the crowd gathered around to look at the jade roughs next to Janet’s feet. Disappointed, they shook their heads.
“She has such weird choices. How can these two oddly-shaped jade roughs be green jade?”
“Young people are just daring and bold, just like me when I was young. Sadly, I lost all my money.”
“This young girl will definitely cry her heart out later on. Everyone knows that the owner of Jade Pavilion is a sly fox so why would he sell superior goods to us?”
“That’s hard to say. I heard that this young girl won two jades down the streets just now and she even sold them for great prices!”
“Nonsense. It’s just sheer luck. What would a young girl like her know about jade? According to years of experience, that’s definitely a worthless piece of stone.”
Listening to the comments from the crowd, Janet impatiently told the shop owner, “Please cut through them for me.”
Smiling, the shop owner replied, “Sure! I’ll cut it now.”
Right after he said that, someone from the crowd yelled, “Oh no! There’s no jade inside.”
“She was wrong. As expected, the leftovers of Jade Pavilion are just trash.”
“Wrong?” Indeed, Janet’s guess was right. There was no jade in the leftover stone that showed a tinge of green and the man who offered a million for it was definitely a paid actor.
Mason thought that Janet was confused so he explained, “It’s only green on the surface.”
