Chapter 797: Picking Up Scraps

After auctioning off a lot of the smaller items, the host walked to the front of the stage and announced, “From now until the end of the auction, the next fourteen items are all from Miss Sunny, aka our future military wife, Miss Nuannuan.”

As soon as he said that, thunderous applause filled the room. Everyone turned to look at Zhong Nuannuan but turned their heads back after realizing that she was not there.

“The first item to be auctioned is a piece of green wispy waxy jade with a net weight of 4kg. Even though waxy jade isn’t very valuable among the other types of jade, such a large piece of green wispy waxy jade is enough to produce at least ten sets of bracelets and earrings if it were to be carved into accessories. According to the minimum cost price of 30000 yuan for each potential set, the value of this piece of jade starts at more than 300000 yuan. The experts have determined that even though this piece of jade is a waxy jade, it’s of the highest quality among the waxy jade. Therefore, the experts appraise this at 600000 yuan. Now, our starting price is 300000 yuan. If you’re interested, please bid.”

No one understood why the daughter of the Duke of Luntan would donate something that cost only hundreds of thousands. To those who wanted to earn some money, they might still be to profit a little from selling waxy jade. However, most people could not care less about profiting a few hundred thousand.

However, since it was from Zhong Nuannuan, everyone still gave her face and started bidding.

In the end, the jade was sold for 650000 yuan.

Then, the host continued, “Next up, we have another waxy jade with a better color than the previous one.”

The moment he said that, the crowd started to stir in dissatisfaction.

Even if it was a bracelet made of high-quality waxy jade, its price would end up between 30000 to 60000 yuan, which was not cheap. However, for the reputable personages of Jiang District, waxy jade was not something prestigious enough to be worn in public.

Ling Pinyuan, who participated in the auction inconspicuously, looked extremely dismayed she heard the commotion.

She was the only one who knew why Zhong Nuannuan was auctioning these two uncut jades.

This was because Zhong Nuannuan picked up the scrap pieces of jade from Soaring Clouds Pavilion without spending a single cent.

When Zhong Nuannuan cut the raw stones and found imperial jade, Ling Pinyuan could not help feeling that there must be more stones that contained jade in the 14 stones that Zhong Nuannuan had taken with her.

However, it was fortunate that they were just waxy jade.

However, when Ling Pinyuan realized how the host said that the upcoming 14 items were all items that Zhong Nuannuan was auctioning off, Ling Piyuan felt pain started to bloat up her heart. After all, aside from Moonlight that was worth hundreds of millions, there were still 13 other items.

Zhong Nuannuan had taken 15 raw stones from her. Other than the imperial jade that she had given to Grandpa Chi Yang, there were 14 raw stones left.

It was impossible that 13 out of 14 of those stones contained jade, right?

That was impossible!!!

However, the host’s words froze Ling Pinyuan from head to toe.

“Please don’t be anxious, everyone. Although we’re auctioning cheaper waxy jade for now, this is also a token of Miss Sunny’s appreciation. To be frank, other than Moonlight—the star of our auction today that will only be presented for auction at the end of our event today—these 13 items are all jade, and they were picked up by Sunny at Soaring Clouds Pavilion a few days ago. Miss Sunny herself is also involved in the jade jewelry business, but since she only works with high-quality jade, she has decided to auction all of them off and turn the proceeds into donations.”

Ling Pinyuan, “…!!!!”
