The other younger members of the Shen family were also stunned.

Shen Yingxu, the eldest son of the second branch of the Shen family, stared wide-eyed in disbelief and said, "If I remember correctly, this raw stone has been stored in the warehouse for decades."

"Over the years, among all the members of the Shen family, no one has ever been willing to choose this stone. This younger sister Shen Nian... has quite a unique eye."

Shen Yingyuan—the second son of the second wife—chuckled unkindly, "Yingchuan, you should quickly persuade your sister not to open this huge hole. If it weren't for the marble inside, I'd eat shit upside down!"

Shen Yingchu—the son of her aunt—also laughed, "Hahahaha, I never thought I'd actually see someone choose this behemoth in my lifetime."

Although Shen Yingchuan found Shen Nian's perspective a bit strange, he couldn't stand others mocking his sister like that, so he frowned and said, "You should all stop this."

Shen Yingyuan laughed so hard she could barely breathe: "How about we make a bet?"

Shen Yingchuan: "What are we betting on?"

"If you can't cut anything out of this rock, you can give me your newly bought limited edition supercar."

"What if it turns out to be jade?"

"Don't worry, this stone has a 100% chance of not yielding jade. If it does, I'll eat shit upside down!"

Shen Nian glanced at them and smiled, "Okay, remember what you said."

Shen Yingchuan glanced at Shen Nian: "Are you really going to choose this one?"

It wasn't that he was heartbroken about his car.

The main concern was that Shen Nian might feel embarrassed.

After all these years, the worst stone the Shen family has ever found is of the Golden Silk variety.

Even so, he was ridiculed by the rest of the Shen family for a long time.

There is no one who can't even find a decent piece of jade.

"Sure."

"Alright then."

Shen Yingchuan waved his hand, and a servant came forward, used a forklift to lift the raw stone, and drove it towards the stone-cutting master's workshop in the distance.

The younger generation of the Shen family boarded the shuttle bus and followed the forklift at a leisurely pace.

Shen Nian then realized that the entire Shen family was unusually large.

Although that villa was the main building, it was not the only building.

The entire Shen family estate covers an enormous area, including not only Western-style mansions, but also a nearly 500-acre artificial lake, artificial islands, a vast lakeside forest belt, and hundreds of acres of rose fields... as well as a racetrack, golf course, helipad, racecourse, casino, a classically styled clock tower, library, and a series of other buildings.

The Shen family's facilities could meet almost all of their entertainment needs, and people mainly relied on shuttle buses driven by servants to get around.

Oh, apart from that professional racetrack, no other vehicles are allowed to be driven within the Shen family estate—a long time ago, after Shen's third uncle raced his car on the wall in the manor, this rule was added to the Shen family.

Before long, they arrived at the quarry.

When that huge rock was transported in, even the Shen family's experienced stone-cutting masters were stumped.

"this……"

Shen Nian picked up a pen and roughly drew an area on the stone.

It was also the area where she could see spiritual energy gathering.

"Master, please open it as I drew it."

Shen Yingyuan laughed loudly, "I think you've overdone those two strokes! Even if you cut this stone in half, you wouldn't find any jade!"

Shen Nian ignored him and stood aside with her arms crossed, watching her master cut the stone.

The master opened it very meticulously.

After all, jadeite is valued for its completeness; if a cut is made in the jadeite, its value is greatly reduced.

...Although, in most people's eyes, there probably isn't much jade in this stone.

On the other side, in the garden of the mansion.

As they walked, Shen Yingjia comforted Shen Yingwei.

"Sister Yingwei, don't be sad. Everyone will definitely still like you more."

"You are gentle and beautiful, and you were raised by everyone in the Shen family. Shen Nian can't replace you."

"That Shen Nian looks cold and gloomy, who would like her?"

As he spoke, he kicked a small stone away in frustration.

Shen Yingwei chuckled as she watched his actions.

"Xiao Jia, thank you. Actually, it's nothing. Don't say that about Sister Shen Nian. It will hurt her if she hears it."

"I don't care if she's angry or not. In my heart, you're my only sister!"

"Glib-tongued."

"I'm fine now. Let's go back. I still have a gift for Sister Shen Nian."

As Shen Yingwei spoke, she turned and headed toward the mansion.

Just then, Shen Yingjia's phone rang.

He looked down for a moment, then called out to Shen Yingwei, "Sister Yingwei, let's go to the quarry. Shen Nian picked a huge rock that has absolutely no luster, and she hasn't cut it yet. If we go now, we can see her make a fool of herself."

Shen Yingjia sneered, "That stone has been sitting in the Shen family's warehouse for who knows how many years, and there are actually fools who would choose it."

"Sister Yingwei, the stone you extracted has the best water content among all of us. Shen Nian definitely can't compare to you!"

When Shen Yingwei and Shen Yingjia arrived at the stone-cutting site, the stone that Shen Nian had chosen had just been cut for the first time.

With one cut, all that was revealed inside the boulder was still a patch of pure white raw stone.

There was no trace of jade in it.

Shen Yingjia laughed and said, "Hahahaha, I knew this stone couldn't possibly yield jade! Shen Nian, what kind of eye do you have?"

After laughing, he shook his head: "Forget it, I can't blame you. After all, you didn't grow up in the Shen family, so it's understandable that you know nothing about raw stones."

"Sister Yingwei unearthed a piece of glass-type jadeite last time! Why don't you apologize to her and let her teach you how to make it?"

If it were the original owner of Shen Nian standing here now, she would probably be very sad to hear these words.

Shen Yingwei had taken her place, and now that she had returned to the Shen family, she was told to her face that she was inferior to Shen Yingwei in every way.

It would probably be extremely awkward for anyone to be in that position.

Shen Yingwei smiled shyly: "Xiao Jia, don't say that. I was just lucky."

"Besides, this stone hasn't been completely opened yet."

"What if there's a surprise?"

Shen Yingjia sneered, "Even if this stone is crushed, there won't be a single carat of jade inside. Yingwei, just look."

Shen Nian raised an eyebrow: "Oh, so if there's jade in here, you're going to perform eating shit upside down too?"

"Fine, I'll put on a show. I don't believe there's really jade inside this stone."

Shen Nian glanced at him and Shen Yingyuan with pity, then turned to her master and said, "Make another cut along this line."

The stone cutter didn't say anything and continued cutting as instructed.

"Stop cutting! No matter how you cut, there won't be any jade inside. You're not tired, but I'm tired for your master."

Shen Yingjia said disdainfully.

However, the next moment, a look of surprise and disbelief flashed across the stone-cutting master's face, and he shouted, "It's green! It's green!"
