“Then, I paid him back double. My father made a lot of money from this interest. He loves it when I borrow his money. However, I haven’t been borrowing money from him since I was 11.”
Leng Jinpeng’s mouth twitched again. “Buy mines? Dig up riverbeds?”
What kind of joke was this about getting rich?
“Is a mine that easy to buy? Is the riverbed that easy to dig? You even paid him back in double... Aren’t you afraid of suffering too many losses that you lose your life?”
Zhong Nuannuan nodded. “It’s easy to buy and dig! Reality has proven that I didn’t suffer any losses. I even made a huge profit.”
After hearing Nuannuan’s words, the old master, who was initially shocked, also accepted that as fact.
Chi Yang was not surprised because he knew that Nuannuan had X-ray vision. As long as she activated her power, no matter if it was the raw stones, the mines, or the riverbed, as long as there was jade, nothing could escape his Nuannuan’s mighty eyes.
When Old Master Chi witnessed Nuannuan’s special ability to identify jades, he had already been blown away once. Therefore, when Nuannuan said that she made her fortune through mines and riverbeds, he thought that was reasonable.
Only Leng Jinpeng, who knew nothing, was upset when he heard Nuannuan said it so blatantly.
“But... don’t even talk about buying a mine or digging a riverbed to earn jade. Even if someone else mined the raw stones and placed them there for stone-gambling, they’d lose nine out of ten. How can you rely on this to make a fortune?” He really could not comprehend this no matter how he thought about it!
“Why do you have so many questions? To be able to rely on these to make a fortune is Nuannuan’s ability. If this ability is revealed to you, you’ll quit your job as the commander-in-chief and go mining. Wouldn’t we lose a talented man?”
Chi Yang’s words triggered a glare from Leng Jinpeng to glare.
“It’s already good enough that I’m not stuffed to death by the dog food that you so blatantly throw at me. What about going mining? Can’t I simply be curious?”
Chi Yang was about to speak when Leng Jinpeng interrupted him. “Fine, you don’t have to tell me. Curiosity kills the cat, right?”
Zhong Nuannuan laughed at their comical love-hate interaction.
Initially, be it Big Brother Chi Yang or Uncle Leng, they were both very solemn people. However, when they got together like this, they would always start fighting, and the content of their argument was especially childish.
Seeing that his grandson managed to bully the single Leng Jinpeng into deformation, the old master said, “Nuannuan has a very powerful appraisal ability when it comes to finding jade. Today, she even got me a rare imperial jade from Soaring Clouds Pavilion on the antique street here. Nuannuan also gambled on another 14 stones. She said she’ll donate the proceeds from auctioning the jade off to the military base.”
“Imperial jade? Very rare? How rare is it?” He was also a fan of jade, so when he heard that it was a rare imperial jade, his interest was piqued.
“That’s right!” Old Master Chi knew Leng Jinpeng’s hobby, so he immediately held his hand. “Come, come, let me show you the imperial jade that my granddaughter-in-law gave me. I promise you’ve never seen anything so rare.”
When the old master got someone to open the car boot, a flash of moist green bounced into Leng Jinpeng’s eyes.
“This... This big?”
Leng Jinpeng was stunned. He found himself unable to let go of the imperial jade that weighed more than ten kilograms.
This imperial jade was not in the best color he had ever seen, but this was the biggest he had ever seen.
This thing would look great even if it was placed at home to bless the place.
“How is it? Isn’t it pretty?” The old master was extremely smug.
“This imperial jade should weigh at least 10 kilograms, right?”
