Chapter 656: The Unfortunate Bai Youran (3)
Qiao Yuying glared at her. "Of course I won’t."
It was not Gu Yunshen’s looks that had attracted her in the first place.
They were both raised in illustrious families. Gu Yunshen’s personality had attracted her the most, or she would not still be thinking constantly of him even after all these years!
Gu Qingyao smiled. "Actually! Father is still quite handsome. His suffering over the years has left its mark, but he’s still a handsome middle-aged man. If he dresses up in the future, he will still be extremely attractive!"
…
Qin Zhiyuan sent someone over with the raw jade, and Gu Qingyao hurriedly took it. Only then did Qiao Yuying remember that Qin Zhiyuan had sought her out about a piece of raw jade.
When she saw Gu Qingyao’s expression, Qiao Yuying asked curiously, "Yao Yao, is this raw jade yours?"
Gu Qingyao smiled, "That’s right! It may have top-quality jade inside! It’s a present for you."
Qiao Yuying looked at the part that had been polished and the translucent and radiant jade that had been revealed. She was in the jewelry business and had a discerning eye. Her eyes widened.
"This… my God!"
She had been in the jewelry business for so many years that she had seen plenty of high-quality material. But Gu Qingyao’s piece startled her!
Qiao Yuying was immediately mesmerized. The Qiao house had tools to open the raw jade, so she immediately did so.
When she carefully opened it up, she discovered there was a large piece of top-quality jade in it!
One of the pieces was almost as large as a
Qiao Yuying cradled it in her hands. She was quivering with excitement. It was too beautiful!
Just too beautiful!
The radiant green struck her!
And such a large piece too. It was about fifteen centimeters in diameter – she could make many bracelets out of it. The material at the border could make many pendants.
What was even rarer was that there was another piece of jade in the raw ore. It was not of imperial jade quality, and had some flaws, but was still superior grade material.
Qiao Yuying was overjoyed!
"Yao Yao, you’re incredibly lucky!"
Gu Qingyao had not expected the raw jade to contain such a huge surprise. It was impossible to ascertain what was inside without opening it up. The raw jade had been in her interspace all this time, and she had not opened it.
She was also delighted to have obtained such high-grade material!
"I have several other pieces. I’ll pass them to you for you to open! We can see if there’s anything good inside."
Qiao Yuying was amazed. "You have more?"
"That’s right!" Gu Qingyao smiled. "They’re a present for you."
Qiao Yuying frowned. She said, "Yao Yao, to be honest, I do need top-quality material. In fact, I need it urgently. But this imperial jade is such a rare find. It’s yours. I can’t take it."
When Gu Qingyao heard that her mother needed it, she was even more determined to give it to her.
"Since you need it, you should just take it. Oh… why don’t you pay me for it? Then you’re buying it from me."
She was not short of jewels, but she needed money!
Qiao Yuying thought about it and agreed. She really did need this, so she would not stand on ceremony with her daughter.
But she certainly would not allow her daughter to suffer a loss.
Gu Qingyao saw Qiao Yuying’s need and went back to her little villa, saying she would bring the other pieces of raw jade.
Qiao Yuying insisted on going along. She wanted to help her daughter to pack up, so they could live together in the Qiao house.
Gu Qingyao could not dissuade her, so she agreed.
The raw jade was in her interspace. When she got there, she would find an opportunity to take them out.
