Her two remaining rocks were not any better. The second piece looked like there were a lot of quality jadeite on its surface but once it was sliced opened, one could see those did not extend into the interior of the rock. It was worth at most 10 million yuan. Definitely nowhere close to the 98 million yuan that it had fetched in the auction.
The third one was very translucent but the problem with it was that it had too many contaminants, which had affected the price of the raw gem.
Bai Shiyuan paid almost 300 million yuan for the third rock but the value of the rock, after extraction, was just a fraction of that. The thought of losing 300 million yuan almost make Bai Shiyuan stopped breathing. The worst part of it all was, Fang JunRong had not lose any money on any of her rock. Quite the contrary, she had made money hand over fist.
Her second one was a ice type with floating flowers. The third one was even more incredible. It was an emerald green glass type that had rarely been seen in recent years. Delicate and radiant, it was perfect. And, judging from the size of it, she could probably make six bracelets out of it.

Those standing around Fang JunRong were about to go nuts. Many wanted to shake hands with her so they can share some of her luck.
They didn’t walk over Bai Shiyuan when she was down; they just omitted her altogether. That made her feel worse than if they had mocked her.
Bai Shiyuan was so stunned that she couldn’t even focus her eyes. Her extremities were cold and she had no idea how to face the impending rage that would come, for sure, from other members of her clan.
Fang JunRong walked in front of her and called out to her gently. “Shiyuan.” Her voice was so gentle as though they had been friends for many years.
Bai Shiyuan looked up suddenly. There was a hint of deep hatred in her Elder Ying. “Are you here to make fun of me?”
Fang JunRong lifted the corners of her lips some and said, “No, I am here to thank you.”
Bai Shiyuan’s expression froze. She was a little at loss. Thank her for what?
Fang JunRong gave her the perfect smile. “If it wasn’t for you, I just might have purchased those rocks. Thank you for helping me save so much money. You are such a nice person.
“Oh, and then there’s our wager. Don’t forget to transfer to me the one million yuan.”
Looking into her eyes, Bai Shiyuan saw the hint of mockery. Her body rocked and her hands clenched into fists, she was drowned in the feeling of deep regret.
Exactly. Why did she want to bid on those rocks just to make a point?
These would have been Fang JunRong’s loss and now they had been transferred to her.
How she regretted about it now! And how hateful she felt!
Then, something else just occurred to her. Every time that she had antagonized Fang JunRong, she had never come out ahead. Perhaps the existence of Fang JunRong was to be her kryptonite. Unfortunately, she didn’t realize this until it was too late.
Her lips were pale like paper and she wished she could go back in time. She would definitely have stayed as far away from Fang JunRong as possible.
“Fang, look! I got a blue flower type! This color is so gorgeous. I don’t think I want to use it for skincare.” A surprised voice came and it was Duchess Capet coming to gloat after she had hers extracted. All the rare ice type gems had been seen repeatedly today and many talked about it and, affected by the mood on site, many others also pulled out their own to have them extracted for the fun of it.
