A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 440

The scarred man and his group slid down their knees very quickly.

Actually, not only them, but Sun Yaotong and his group were also a bit stunned.

Sun Yaoqin's eyes widened, and she looked at Yun Jiao with indescribable admiration.

"Ahhh, Jiaojiao, how can you be so amazing!"

Sun Yaoqin excitedly moved closer to Yun Jiao, gesturing wildly.

Although Sun Yaotong was also excited, he was more composed as an adult, but his eyes were incredibly bright when he looked at Yun Jiao.

What merit does Sun Yaotong possess to be able to recognize such an accomplished person as his goddaughter?

Yun Jiao's future achievements will probably be even greater than he imagined.

A group of bodyguards: …………

So, if the boss has such capable people around him, what is the purpose of bringing them here?
"Let's go, go back."

Sun Yaotong didn't want to cause trouble. The area was already chaotic, and even if the police were called to arrest these people, it would be useless. At most, they would be detained for a few days and then released.

Yun Jiao's threats have no effect on them yet.

So they ignored the people sliding on their knees and went straight back to the hotel.

As soon as Yun Jiao and the others left, the scarred man and his group began to catch their breath and help each other up.

"My goodness, what kind of monster is that child?"

Looking at the steel balls embedded in the iron rod, and on the ground...

Everyone swallowed hard.

The scarred man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Fortunately, we didn't start fighting and killing each other from the beginning."

Although they carry guns, they only ever rob goods and won't kill anyone unless there are special circumstances.

Even if they don't deliver the goods, at most they'll just beat them up.

That's why they didn't start by calling for war and killing.

Fortunately, they survived.

"Take a detour if you encounter that group of people in the future."

Even without the scarred man saying anything, they would naturally avoid it for the sake of their own lives.

Back at the hotel, Sun Yaoqin was still in a state of excitement and kept asking Yun Jiao all sorts of questions.

"Jiaojiao, how did you do that? Teach me, teach me, so I won't be afraid of bad people when I'm out alone anymore."

Yun Jiao looked at her with a helpless expression on her small face.

"I can't teach you, I'm just naturally strong."

She demonstrated it on the spot, holding a steel ball in her hand and squeezing it; the solid steel ball was flattened.

Such small beads are difficult to flatten even if they are not solid.

This left Sun Yaoqin speechless once again.

Sun Yaotong wasn't much better off.

"You...you...you were born with this strength?"

Yun Jiao thought for a moment and said, "No, I've always been much stronger than others since I was little, and I've gotten stronger as I've gotten older."

Sun Yaoqin looked on with envy: "Heavens, why don't I have such innate superhuman strength?"

Not to mention Sun Yaoqin, even Sun Yaotong is envious.

Which man wouldn't want to be born with superhuman strength?

"Alright, stop bothering your sister. Hurry up and get ready to eat. If you really want to become stronger, I can find you a martial arts master to teach you."

Sun Yaoqin nodded: "Okay then."

Sun Yaotong exclaimed, "We owe so much to Jiaojiao today!"

Whether it's the jadeite or the jadeite being protected, all things considered, I feel like I've gotten a good deal from Yun Jiao.

I must give her a big red envelope when I get back!
Sun Yaotong had originally planned to leave today because of the black jadeite and pink jadeite.

But now I feel very safe, so I might as well participate in tomorrow's jade auction.

Let's ask Jiaojiao for her opinion.

After the meal, Sun Yaotong asked Yun Jiao for her opinion.

Tomorrow there will be a jadeite auction, where you can buy your favorite jadeite rough stones through auction.

These rough stones have all been identified and have a high probability of yielding jadeite.

Some of them yielded a portion of the original stone.

However, the auction price will certainly be very high.

Yun Jiao: "Sure, I want to go see it too."

Since we're already here, and we came specifically for the jade auction, it wouldn't be a big regret to miss it.

"Okay, let's go tomorrow!"

The next day, Sun Yaotong took her two daughters to attend the jade auction.

As soon as he arrived, someone came to ask him about what happened yesterday.

Sun Yaotong chatted with them for a few minutes, then took the two girls to see the jadeite pieces that were to be auctioned.

"If you like any of them, just remember their numbers and bid on them when the auction starts."

"Jiaojiao, do you have enough money? Do you want your godfather to lend you some?"

He knew that Yun Jiao had bought an island, and that she had probably spent most of the money.

It really is.

Yun Jiao really doesn't have much money left.

After buying the island, she stopped salvaging the shipwrecks, and catching fish alone didn't bring in much money.

"Thank you, godfather. I'll pay you back later."

Sun Yaotong smiled and said, "No rush."

He actually wanted to give it to her directly, but Sun Yaotong knew that Yun Jiao wouldn't accept it.

Yun Jiao looked around but didn't choose much, only selecting a piece of jadeite rough that she liked.

Not too big, thirteen kilograms.

After that, she accompanied Sun Yaotong and the others on their shopping trips, and sometimes Sun Yaotong would ask for her opinion.

Her lips twitched: "Godfather, I'm really not that accurate. Yesterday, the Naxi'e jadeite rough I chose only yielded two good pieces."

"Only?"

Sun Yaotong looked at her in disbelief: "Do you know that with your probability, other people might not even get one like you even if they choose ten or more rough stones?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Jiao touched her chin. "So, all things considered, she really is very lucky."

Suddenly, Yun Jiao felt incredibly confident.

From childhood to adulthood, she has always had good luck.

Even if things go wrong, like encountering human traffickers or enemy agents, she can handle it all and might even turn misfortune into a blessing in disguise. "Then I'll choose based on my gut feeling, and if I choose wrong..."

"Hey, this is a gamble. If it doesn't come true, they definitely won't blame you."

Sun Yaotong can still afford to lose.

Seeing his open and honest gaze, Yun Jiao pointed to the stone he had chosen, but hesitated, unsure which one to pick.

After the auction, Yun Jiao successfully acquired a rough stone she had her eye on. Sun Yaotong had her eye on six stones, two of which were already partially cut, but in the end, she only managed to bid on three.

They didn't cut stones here. They were already quite high-profile yesterday, so they'll keep a low profile today.

Sun Yaotong's family is in the jewelry business, so they naturally have jade-making machines and craftsmen at home.

So, carrying their spoils, they traveled by truck and waterway, finally arriving in the port city.

The port city is the Sun family's stronghold.

The economy here is developing rapidly, and there are many foreigners, so the jewelry business is also thriving.

"Finally home!"

Back in familiar territory, Sun Yaoqin became much more lively.

"Jiaojiao, I'll take you to have fun while we're in Gangcheng."

Yun Jiao nodded: "Okay."

"Dad, don't forget the bracelets that my sister and I wear."

Sun Yaotong: "Don't worry, not only will you get bracelets, but we'll also give each of you a safety buckle."

"Hehe, Daddy is the best."

The next day, Yun Jiao and Sun Yaoqin went to see the stone cutting process together.

When the Sun family's jewelry store learned that they had brought back a large piece of extremely high-quality black jade, everyone in the store was overjoyed.

Especially after seeing it with my own eyes.

The three master craftsmen in the jewelry store were all vying to design jewelry pieces for these black jade pieces.

"No matter what happens when the remaining rough stones are cut open, with these black jadeite stones, we can create a series of jewelry and jade carvings, giving us a head start over other jewelry companies."

Sun Yaotong was extremely pleased with himself this time, and the entire Sun's Jewelry Store trusted him even more.

"Let's cut open the remaining rough stones and take a look."

The raw stones were carefully taken to the warehouse.

There are still Yun Jiao's batch of jade stones in the warehouse.

"Jiaojiao, should we cut your stone first?"

Yun Jiao: "Anything is fine."

"Then let's see yours first."

The stone cutter began operating the machine.

The first piece she cut was the jadeite rough she had auctioned at the jadeite auction.

This time, the rough stone was cut quite deep, but no jade was found. Just when everyone had given up hope, someone suddenly shouted.

"There is."

"It has color, it looks like a bright green."

"Cut it from one side."

They adjusted the orientation of the rough stone and continued cutting.

"This side is purple."

The machine hummed and whirred, and it took quite a while for the jade to be completely cut open.

The outer layer of the stone is a bit thick, but that doesn't detract from the beauty of the jade inside.

"The three colors, with the large central area combining bright green, violet, and red, represent fortune, longevity, and prosperity!"

Moreover, it's a type of glutinous ice-type rice.

Although the glutinous ice-type water is not quite as good as the ice-type or high-ice-type, the three rich and vibrant colors completely make up for this deficiency.

Because of the auspicious meanings of fortune, longevity, and prosperity, there are quite a few people who like this kind of jade.

Sun Yaotong was overjoyed: "Hahaha... Jiaojiao, it's all thanks to your luck!"

"It's a good thing I brought it back. If I had cut it open over there, I don't know how many envious looks it would have attracted."

"Let's cut those jade pieces for her first."

The machine quickly started running again.

The jade that Yun Jiao brought from XJ is called nephrite, while jadeite belongs to the category of hard jade.

Nephrite has a warm and smooth texture, unlike jadeite which is translucent.

Compared to jadeite, which is completely encased in stone and difficult to distinguish, nephrite is easier to identify.

However, it's not easy to find a piece of jade of excellent quality.

The workers huddled together and whispered amongst themselves, before excitedly running over.

"Young man, would you like to sell this piece of jade? It is an extremely rare piece of mutton fat jade."

Among white jades, the most famous is mutton fat white jade.

It is named for its delicate, oily, and white appearance.

The jade that the master craftsman is holding at this moment is a large piece of mutton fat white jade.

Yun Jiao shook her head: "Not for sale."

She likes it too.

The old craftsman was extremely disappointed; he really liked this piece of jade.

He even tried to pester Yun Jiao to sell it to him, but Sun Yaotong stopped him.

"Mr. Deng, she doesn't sell, but if you want carving or design, you can contact her."

Upon hearing this, Old Deng pondered for a few seconds and said, "That's fine too."

Old Deng is a jade carver, and he gets itchy hands whenever he sees good material, which is why he kept pestering Yun Jiao for this piece of mutton fat jade.

"Jiaojiao, what are your plans for this piece of jade? If you want to carve something, you can ask Master Deng to give it a try. If you're not comfortable with that, you can go and see his previous works."

Mr. Deng is quite famous in the industry, but Yun Jiao, this kid, has obviously never been in this circle, so naturally she doesn't know Mr. Deng's reputation.

Yun Jiao nodded: "Then I'll go take a look tomorrow."

The other pieces of jade were also quite good, and there was even a beautiful piece of jade with a romantic feel to it.

There are also jade materials that are uniformly yellow and white.

These can all be sculpted into beautiful works of art.

Of the three rough stones that Sun Yaotong bought at the public auction, one was ruined after cutting.

The remaining two pieces were both good, with one piece, which was half green jade, being the most surprising to them.

As luck would have it, that piece of jade was exactly the one Yun Jiao had pointed to.

Now, Sun Yaotong truly felt that Yun Jiao was his lucky star.

With these, Sun's Jewelry Store will surely reach new heights.
