According to the middle-aged man’s opinion, this kind of raw stone with irregular spots on the surface and very irregular patterns was the least likely to produce any jade.

Moreover, even if such an irregular raw stone really produced jade, the jade in it would also be pitifully small. It would be good enough if it could make a ring surface.

Basically, this kind of raw stone was no different from waste.

For some reason, Gu Qingchen had an indescribable feeling towards this extremely ugly raw stone.

And when Gu Qingchen held this raw stone in her hand, she felt that this raw stone was different from the previous ones.

Although the raw stone in her hand looked ugly, it gave Gu Qingchen a warm feeling and an indescribable liking in her heart.

Perhaps, this raw stone was fated to be with her!

Or perhaps, she had a feeling that there was jade in it?

If this had happened in the past, Gu Qingchen might have found it unbelievable. But now, she could read minds and her mind was clearer than before. Her memory and learning speed was astonishing. She felt that she seemed to have gone through some kind of baptism and changed!

That’s right, she had changed.

At this moment, she felt the warmth of the raw stone. Maybe her perception had upgraded.

Although she didn’t understand what was wrong with her body, Gu Qingchen liked her current self even more now.

Although she couldn’t control the world, she could control her own life!

“Boss, I’ll buy this one. Is it 20 dollars?”

Whether it was fate or her superior perception, she wanted to buy this raw stone.

The middle-aged man was slightly stunned. He greeted the customers and ran to Gu Qingchen’s side. He looked at the raw stone in Gu Qingchen’s hand with a strange expression.

After hesitating for a while, the man asked, “Young lady, are you sure you want to buy this one? Aren’t you going to look at it again?”

Although he also wanted to earn money, there was no reason for him to cheat a young lady like this.

Gu Qingchen did not say anything more. She took out 20 dollars and handed it to the boss.

The boss had just received the money when he heard a burst of laughter coming from not far away.

“Yo! Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road. Dad, it seems that Gu Yuanchuan’s family is still rich. Did you see that? Gu Yuanchuan’s daughter actually has money to buy raw stones!”

Upon hearing this voice, Gu Qingchen knew who it was. Other than that pretentious Shi Wei, there was no one else.

Seeing Gu Qingchen here, Shi Wei was actually a little excited.

All along, Gu Qingchen had been suppressing Shi Wei in all aspects. Now that the tides have turned, Shi Wei had finally become the owner. If there was an opportunity to humiliate Gu Qingchen, she would not miss it.

Gu Qingchen turned around and saw Shi Wei and her father, Shi Tian. Gu Qingchen had met Shi Tian before, in her father’s company.

Gu Yuanchuan worked in timber processing, and Shi Tian was equivalent to a second-hand wholesaler. Because Gu Qingchen and Shi Wei were classmates, Shi Tian always used these excuses to get close to Gu Yuanchuan.

Gu Yuanchuan was also a very kind person, so every time Shi Tian came to pick up the goods, he would give him a big discount.

In the past, when Shi Tian saw Gu Yuanchuan, he would always lower his head and bow. Even when he saw Gu Qingchen, he would always greet her with a smile.

But now, it was different. Shi Tian had annexed Gu Yuanchuan’s timber factory, and the Gu family still owed Shi Tian money. Now that he saw Gu Qingchen, Shi Tian’s heart had a huge change.

Shi Tian stood there, his back straight. He narrowed his small eyes and looked at Gu Qingchen as if he was a noble looking down on a lowly beggar.

“Oh, it’s that girl from the Gu family. I thought she looked familiar. Haha, you are such an ignorant child. Your family went bankrupt and owed a lot of money, yet you even came to such a place to do stone gambling. Does your father know that you are here? Don’t let your father find out and die from anger. A daughter like you will be unfilial!”

Shi Tian was a typical villain who achieved success. In the past, when the Gu family was rich, he would flatter them so much. Now that the Gu family was bankrupt, Shi Tian couldn’t wait to step on them.

He could finally hold his head up high in front of the Gu family.

Shi Wei was the same as her father. When she heard her father’s words, she smiled very proudly and even echoed her father, “Dad, you can’t say that. Who knows where Gu Qingchen got the money from? I even lost my wallet a few days ago.”

Shi Wei’s wallet was obviously found in Ma Shihan’s schoolbag. Now that she said it so unclearly, it was to mislead the others, insinuating that Gu Qingchen stole Shi Wei’s wallet.

Shi Tian’s expression changed as expected. Like a righteous priest, he said meaningfully, “The girl from the Gu family, if you really lack money, you can tell uncle that you used such an unscrupulous method to steal money. Hehe, you will end up like your father in the future. Sigh, fortunately, our family is strict. We won’t let our daughter go astray.”

Gu Qingchen looked at the father and daughter who were like typical villains who had achieved success with a cold expression. The boss who sold the raw stones next to her was still a little stunned. He looked at the 20 dollars in his hand, then looked at Gu Qingchen, and finally handed the 20 dollars to Gu Qingchen.

“Young lady, take the raw stone as my gift to you. Take the 20 dollars back.”

Gu Qingchen did not expect the boss to do this. Normally, if anyone heard the words of Shi Wei and her father, they would probably just watch the show.

It was not that Gu Qingchen was too pessimistic and did not believe that there were good people in the world. It was just that she really did not meet any warm-hearted people in her previous life.

Seeing that Gu Qingchen did not reach out to take the money, the raw stone boss directly stuffed the money into Gu Qingchen’s hand. As he stuffed the money, he said, “As a person, we should hold our heads high and not let others look down on us. If…”

The raw stone boss paused for a moment before continuing, “If the money really belongs to that young lady, you can return it to her. I can still afford to give a piece of raw stone.”

The boss didn’t actually spend any money to get the raw stone that was in Gu Qingchen’s hand. They often went to the border to pick up raw stones and bring them back. When they picked up a certain amount, they would also get a gift.

Like the kind of raw stone that Gu Qingchen was holding was basically a gift. Those who knew the trade knew that this kind of raw stone was actually a stone, used to fool people.

Gu Qingchen’s heart moved slightly. She suddenly realized that there were warm-hearted people in this world.

“Uncle, this 20 dollars is for the raw stone. Please take it. Shi Wei’s wallet was indeed lost, but it was found by the homeroom teacher in another student’s bag. It had nothing to do with me. It was just that some people wanted to pin the blame on me. I advocated calling the police, but it was Shi Wei who tried her best to stop it. That was why I couldn’t call the police. So, you can take this money with you.”

The boss was stunned. Business people were all sharp people, so he quickly understood.

Then, he looked at Shi Wei and her father, plus what Shi Tian said before, he made a judgment in his heart.

“I see. It seems that I’ve misunderstood.”

After saying that, he looked at Shi Wei and continued, “Little girl, how can you speak so unclearly? At such a young age, you only know how to play tricks. This is not good. This is the kind of person that we look down on the most in this stone gambling venue. Let me give you a piece of advice. If you want to gamble on stones, then behave yourself. Don’t cause trouble here!”

Although the boss of the raw stones shop was dressed in ordinary clothes, he was very serious when he lectured people. Gu Qingchen subconsciously looked at the boss a few more times. It seemed that this person had some status here.

Originally, she wanted to ridicule Gu Qingchen, but now she was ridiculed by others, how can Shi Wei be reconciled.
