The Man In Rage novel Chapter 219

"Ye Fan, do you really not know anything about rock gambling?" Qiu Mu-Cheng asked Ye Fan quizzically after Shen Fei and Han Shao-Jie left.

She couldn't understand Ye Fan anymore, especially after what happened at the Eight Treasure Hall this morning. Ye Fan had appraised two antiques one after another. One of them was even an antique painting bought by him at $250 and it turned out to be worth $200 million. This really shocked Qiu Mu-Cheng completely.

After being married to Ye Fan for so long, she had no idea he had such talent.

Ye Fan nodded, "That's right. Do you think I'm lying to you?"

"Then what about that appraisal you did this morning? Was that luck too?” Qiu Mu-Cheng continued to ask.

Ye Fan smiled gently, "I can't say it was entirely by chance. I only discovered small details that others overlooked, so there was some degree of luck to it. I am really clueless about appraising antiques."

It wasn't a lie. Ye Fan was only slightly acquainted with antique appraisal. He could detect those details entirely because of the Book of Celestial Cloud. Practicing it had improved his sight.

This family heirloom of the Chu family had enabled Ye Fan to see things that others couldn't.

"Was...was it really luck?"

Qiu Mu-Cheng found Ye Fan's words slightly suspicious and then said, "But since you know nothing about rock gambling, then don't spout nonsense later. These stones can go from millions to more than ten million. If you sabotage Young Master Shen by saying nonsense, our family can't afford to pay for it," reminded Qiu Mu-Cheng. She was clearly worried that Ye Fan might pretend that he knew about rock gambling. If he made Shen Fei lose a lot of money, it would cause trouble for herself.

"But Ye Fan, I'm surprised. Although you're poor, you are very generous with your money. You gave away $200 million just like that." When Ye Fan gave away that $200 million painting to Su Yuan-Shan, it undoubtedly shocked Qiu Mu-Cheng.

"What is it, honey? Can't bear to give it away? It's okay, if you can't stand it, I can always take it back from him," said Ye Fan and laughed.

Qiu Mu-Cheng shook her head and said, "You bought it, so it's your freedom to do what you want with it. I was only surprised, so don't worry. Besides, you did the right thing. If not for Mr Su, there was no way you could've gotten such a priceless painting, it's only right that you should be grateful to Mr Su. By giving him the painting, you returned the favor and got a big one from Mr Su as well. If you use his favor wisely, it will probably fetch more than $200 million," said Qiu Mu-Cheng softly. But honestly speaking, she was rather impressed that Ye Fan gave the painting away so generously.

Even if she didn't consider whether Ye Fan had the ability to spot the brush painting, Qiu Mu-Cheng at least discovered he was a sentimental and loyal person.

While the two chatted, a commotion suddenly rose in front.

It seemed like the rock auction was starting.

Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng went over.

"Young Master Shen, are you done choosing? Did you find anything you liked?" asked Qiu Mu-Cheng randomly.

Shen Fei immediately smiled excitedly, "Mr Ye, Miss Su, just you wait and see. I'm going to strike it rich this time. The jade stone quality this year is good, especially numbers 2, 6, 8, and 9. Shao-Jie took a look too and is certain they contain jade. Now a lot of people are eyeing those rocks. Whoever manages to get them will make a killing," said Shen Fei enthusiastically. As he looked at the four rocks in the center of the showroom, his eyes glinted and looked determined to have them.

"Haha. Mr Ye, after I get my hands on the four rocks and make up for the shortfall in cash, I will give the rest to you and Miss

Qiu as a gift," said Shen Fei. Ye Fan looked at the rocks he was talking about and shook his head as he laughed instead.

"Hmm? Mr Ye, what's wrong?" Shen Fei was puzzled by Ye Fan's reaction.

Ye Fan replied, "Those rocks look like they're intended for the finale, so they will get pushed to a higher price. So even if you get them, the profit is low. Worse still, there might not be any jade in them. Rather than getting those, why don't you pay more attention to number 11 ? I have a good feeling about it.”

"Number 11 ?" Shen Fei looked quickly and shook his head as he said, "Mr Ye, Shao-Jie, and I looked at that rock too. Even though some green stone is peeking through on top, it's just a businessman's ruse. There's probably only that little bit of jade in it and the rest is just plain rock. Otherwise, why would they place it in section B? The really good ones are all placed in the center in section A and S."

Han Shao-Jie chimed in and agreed, "That's right, Mr Ye. Rock gambling is a complicated thing. You can't consider just its appearance, or else you'll end up getting conned badly. Since you are a newbie, it's natural for you to get distracted by the seller's ploys. In the future, just listen and learn and buy less. After you have enough experience, you can avoid getting scammed."

It was clear that Shen Fei and Han Shao-Jie didn't take Ye Fan's recommendation to heart. They thought he was a newbie and was getting influenced by the seller's ploy.
