In the store, Bai Qianye stared at the bloodstone covered with bright red blood on the table, without saying a word, and his expression was blank. Li Yi, Wang He and Qian Ning all felt the depressing atmosphere in vaguely, and they all hid far away, and no one dared to speak loudly.

"I guess the boss must have thought of his old lover. Maybe he didn't marry him because he didn't have Dahongpao..."

"Get out, my sister is the only one in the boss, I didn't have a girlfriend at all!"

"If you don't have a girlfriend, you may have a boyfriend, don't talk about this..."

"Boy, believe it or not, I will kill you..."

Wang He and Qian Ning tried hard to joke, but they could not hide the panic in their hearts. The atmosphere was so depressing.

Li Yi kicked Wang He lightly and whispered at Bai Qianye. Your brother-in-law, go and ask what's going on?

Wang He grinned at Li Yi, "You dare to go, I won't go anyway." In the stalemate, Bai Qianye, who had been sitting dead and staring at the bloodstone, suddenly spoke.

"Close the store door and I'll tell you a story."

Wang He and Qian Ning looked at each other, pulled down the roller shutter door quickly, and then sat behind Bai Qianye in a regular manner.

"Thirty-five years ago, there was a pair of good friends, both masters of gold and stone seal carving. One day, one of them found his friend and handed him a big red robe seal, saying that someone entrusted him to engrave a square seal, but the guest asked him to use small seal, and his skills in small seal carving were far inferior to his friends, so he took it over and asked his friend to help engrave seals."

"His friend was very happy that being able to leave his own marks on a piece of top-quality material was something that every sculptor could not refuse, so he agreed on the spot and asked the man to come and get the seal in three days."

"Three days later, the man brought the client to get the seal, but his friend searched the house but couldn't find it. When he was anxious, his friend's little daughter came back from outside. His friend asked her if she saw the seal. The little girl kept saying that there was no, but her hesitant attitude aroused the suspicion of the adults. In the end, she was forced to take it out and exchanged for candy."

"In that era, there were many cultural relics dealers who traveled around the countryside. After hearing the little girl's description, a few people knew that Fang Zhang had been cheated by a cultural relics dealer. His friend couldn't explain it, so in a hurry, he started to beat his daughter."

"I don't know if you have seen the door that is so wide open in the past. There is a square stone under the door shaft. A nest was dug on the square stone, and the door shaft was placed inside the nest. His friend was angry and anxious at that time, and he felt sorry for his old friend. He put his strength to death when he hit his daughter. As a result, he kicked hard. When his daughter fell out, his head hit the corner of the stone under the door shaft. He was bleeding at that time, and it was not possible not long after he was sent to the hospital."

"Later, his friend sold everything he could sell, including the house, and finally paid the seal. Then he went around the countryside and looked for the cultural relics dealer like crazy. Half a year later, the little girl's mother passed away because she missed her daughter. His friend's Yue family asked his friend to compensate his daughter and granddaughter every few days. The matter slowly spread, and his friend had no shame to stay in his hometown anymore, so he took the little girl's brother to Yanjing."

"Ten years ago, his friend passed away. He didn't say anything before he died. He just held the little girl's brother's hand and told him to find a big red robe Fang Zhang and gave it to others..."

The room was very quiet. Li Yi shed tears as he listened. Thinking of Bai Qianye's performance when he saw the bloodstone, he had long guessed that he was the little girl's brother...

"You can guess it without me saying that, yes, I am the little girl's brother."

Bai Qianye turned around, his face full of tears, but his expression was filled with smiles.

"Xiao Li, although your piece is not Dahongpao, the blood clots are very concentrated. Fang Zhang is not big. Cut a few more pieces and you will definitely cut a perfect piece of Dahongpao, so..."

"Uncle Bai, you need to use it, use it casually, cut it casually, it's useless if I hold it..."

"Well, it will be much easier to tell things. If you make this seal again, I believe my sister and parents can rest in peace in the underworld. Xiao Li, I won't say thank you."

Li Yi shook his head vigorously. He didn't expect that a bloodstone could lead to such a tragic story. Although he helped Bai Qianye solve his regret, he didn't know whether he should be happy or not. For a moment, he didn't even dare to say anything.

"Wang He, Qian Ning, you two will go first. Xiao Li and I have something to do."

Wang and Qian had long been unable to stand the atmosphere in the store. At this moment, when they heard Bai Qianye's orders, they didn't hesitate for a moment. They didn't even bother to clean up the things and opened the roller shutter door and ran away.

"It just so happens that Boss Chen and Mr. Wang will arrive later. Have you brought the glass seed?"

Li Yi walked forward two steps, looked at Bai Qianye's face, and asked carefully:

"Uncle Bai, are you... okay?"

"What can I do? I've been used to it for so many years. Today I've finally gotten rid of the material you have! Chicken Bloodstone, Chicken Bloodstone, how can it be considered a good stone without blood? Xiao Li, I can't afford this material, I can only cut a seal from the top, and I will give you the rest. I'll give you three million to this seal, but I don't have that much cash for the time being, so I can only give you one million and a half million first. You may have to wait for the rest."

"Uncle Bai, I don't want money for this material. I'm not pitiful, I really don't pity you... Listen to me!"

Li Yi was furious when he heard Bai Qianye say that he didn't want money because he was pity for him and looked down on him.

"Uncle Bai, look, I didn't ask you for money when you sold me the pastel bowl. This time I asked me to sell jadeite again. I didn't say anything. You don't want it to be your business, but whether you give it or not is mine. So, we're just in the right way this time."

Li Yixin said, let alone cut the seal, it would be unfair to give it to you. If I didn’t have your jade pendant, let alone these treasures, I wouldn’t even be able to afford the rent soon!

Bai Qianye didn't say much, looked at Li Yi and went into the small office to rest. Li Yi sat at the table, staring at the bloodstone placed on it and was thinking a lot. I don't know how long it took, Bai Qianye suddenly greeted him.

"They are coming soon, let's go to the door to pick it up."

Boss Chen is about fifty years old, with a thin figure and a full of treasure island accent. When he met Bai Qianye, he was very enthusiastic. The jade carver he brought was a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

Mr. Wang is a burly northern man with a cheerful personality and a higher voice than normal people. The jade carver he brought is a thin old man.

Several people returned to the store, Li Yi put the jade on the table, and then retreated to the side without saying a word.

"Since ancient times, heroes have become teenagers. Xiao Li has such good eyesight so young, and his future is unlimited."

Boss Chen praised Li Yi a few words in a treasure island accent. Mr. Wang laughed and patted Li Yi on the shoulder.

"Young man is good. Next time I have the chance, I will take you to the public market for your experience."

The two bosses were chatting here, while the two jade carvers took flashlights to check the jade. After a while, the young man handed the flashlight to Boss Chen first. Boss Chen smiled and greeted him, then went forward to look at the materials.

"Old Chen, I think this is better. When we quote later, we will also use the public market method. Each person writes a picture with the highest psychological price and hand it over to Brother Bai. The higher the price, what do you think?"

"What you want, what you want, this will save us from fighting and the scene is not good."

After all the four of them read the materials, Mr. Wang proposed that friendship first and civilized competition. Boss Chen thought for a while and agreed. Then the two groups of people separated and began to discuss in a low voice how to quote.

Ten minutes later, Bai Qianye received two folded white papers. He smiled and picked up one and shook it at Li Yi. Li Yi shook his head firmly.

"Okay, I'll open it on behalf of Xiao Li. This one is Boss Chen's offer. I count it, tens of millions... Well, the offer is 16.72 million."

Before the remaining one was opened, everyone present knew who won, because when Bai Qianye was pronounced the last word, Mr. Wang clasped his fists at Boss Chen and said he had given up.

Another note was opened, and sure enough, Mr. Wang’s offer was 16.83 million, which was 110,000 yuan higher than Boss Chen.
