Chapter 67: Lucky Hands!

The small carving shop was more than it seemed.

After all, in a place as expensive as Jade Street, any shop that could afford to stay open likely had some treasures hidden away.

This carving shop was no exception—it was filled with valuable items!

When Su Bao woke up, her nose twitched…

Mo Yan and Fu Lang heard a “click-click-click” sound, like a wolf pup grinding its teeth.

Upon closer listening, they realized it was Su Bao, gnashing her teeth while staring eagerly at the shop.

Mo Yan: “…”

Fu Lang: “…”

Mo Yan had been planning to set Su Bao down the moment she woke up.

But seeing her little stoic face and her current state…

“You’d better keep holding her,” Fu Lang said helplessly, patting Mo Yan on the shoulder with a resigned look.

Otherwise, he worried their Xiao Bao might eat the entire carving shop!

How did she develop such a habit?

Eating jade, of all things!

Fu Lang found it unbelievable. This was the definition of being a money pit! Who could afford to keep up with her? Who?!

Unless it was a wealthy family like the Fu family, the cost of her jade-eating alone could bankrupt a regular household!

Thankfully, Mo Yan’s military training had left him in top physical condition. He’d been holding Su Bao for so long without his arms giving out or his legs shaking. If it had been anyone else, they’d have collapsed by now!

Meanwhile, the shop owner was in the back polishing the stone.

At first, he was casual about it, not expecting much.

But as soon as he polished a small opening, he let out an excited yell!

“Holy crap, kid! You’ve got some luck after all! I didn’t think there’d be anything inside, let alone something this good!”

Having been in the jade business for years, the shop owner had a knack for reading people.

This young man—he’d only met him twice, but he gave off a gloomy vibe, like someone who was down on his luck and forcing a smile. Clearly, he’d been having a rough time.

Fu Lang: “…”

What??

What do you mean I look unlucky?

I haven’t told anyone I’m unlucky! Why are you calling me out like this?!

Fu Lang nearly choked on his indignation. He was…

So pissed off!

But when he heard the shop owner say the stone had something valuable inside, he swallowed his frustration and ran over to see what had been polished out.

“It’s an ice jade, second only to glass jade! Look at this quality—it’s the real deal!” the shop owner exclaimed, clearly excited.

In the world of stone gambling, luck and superstition often went hand in hand. Finding jade in a stone was considered incredibly lucky!

Though his main business was carving, the shop owner occasionally helped people open raw stones. He’d never seen anything of this quality before.

And to think it came from the pile of leftover scraps in his shop! What were the odds?!

“So, are you selling it?” the shop owner asked. “You bought it for ten yuan, and I’ll buy it back for 200,000 yuan. That’s a 20,000x profit!”

This was the allure of stone gambling—one cut could make you rich, or it could leave you penniless.

Fu Lang immediately shook his head. “Of course not!”

What a joke. Did he look like someone who needed money?

This was something Xiao Bao had chosen. If it weren’t for her clinging to the stone, he might’ve left it in the car to gather dust—or worse, thrown it in the trash for being in the way!

Now that it had turned out to be a treasure, it obviously belonged to their Xiao Bao!
