I just got divorced, and a rich and beautiful woman dragged me to get a marriage certificate.

After leaving the inpatient building, Chen Mo drove directly away from Ren'ai Hospital.

For Chen Mo, stroke and hemiplegia were not a big problem; a few stitches would suffice.

But Chen Mo couldn't possibly kneel down and beg for medical treatment.

As I always say, if you beg me, I'll treat you.

If you're going to act tough with me, then get lost. Let whoever wants to deal with you do so; I'm not going to put up with this.

"It's still early today, let's go to the antique market!"

Chen Mo opened Gaode Maps and navigated to the West City Antique Market.

The antique market remains the same as always: stone-paved streets, red lanterns, and the sounds of vendors hawking their wares.

The shops selling calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, and antiques lined up one after another, creating a lively atmosphere.

Chen Mo walked through two alleys and arrived at the Magnolia Clinic.

Liu Xin was sitting behind the consultation table looking at her phone when she saw Chen Mo come in. She was taken aback and asked, "Old Chen? What brings you here?"

"What, you want to gamble on stones again? Let me tell you, you were just incredibly lucky last time. Don't really think you're a genius at stone gambling!"

Chen Mo hadn't originally planned to gamble on stones; he just wanted to have tea and chat with Liu Xin today.

But Liu Xin's "Don't gamble anymore" expression suddenly made Chen Mo want to gamble a couple of times.

"You guessed right! There aren't any patients right now, are there? Come on, come on, let's gamble a couple of rounds!"

Liu Xin rolled her eyes: "You'd better give up, this kind of betting is a losing proposition nine times out of ten!"

"You were lucky last time, but you might not be so lucky this time!"

"Don't come crying to me about being poor when you lose money."

Without waiting for a reply, Chen Mo grabbed him and said, "Alright, enough talk, come with me!"

Liu Xin was dragged outside by Chen Mo, muttering, "Why won't you listen to advice?"

"I've run a clinic in this antique market for seven or eight years, and I've seen at least eighty or a hundred people lose everything gambling on jade!"

"You've only played it once, and you're already addicted?"

The two left the clinic and wandered around for a while when they heard a commotion ahead.

Shouts, chatter, and exclamations mingled together as the crowd surged in layers, blocking half of the street.

Chen Mo stood on tiptoe and took a look. In front of him was a gambling stone stall, where someone was currently cutting stones.

"Let's go take a look!"

Chen Mo squeezed in.

The stall was quite large, with the ground covered with raw stones of various sizes.

A stone-cutting machine was placed in the middle of the stall, and a tall woman stood next to it.

The woman was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old and was wearing a cream-colored cashmere coat.

Her features are exquisite and beautiful, with a gentle and graceful air reminiscent of the water towns of Jiangnan.

A large crowd had gathered around, all there to join in the fun.

"This girl bought seven or eight stones today, and the first few all turned out badly."

"I think the outer skin of this piece looks good; it should yield something."

"It's hard to say; nobody can predict the outcome when it comes to jade gambling!"

The stone-cutting machine stopped, and the stall owner took the stone out and rinsed the cut surface with water.

The stones were dull and gray, with nothing on them, not even a speck of green.

"She's lost again. This girl must have lost a lot today, maybe two or three hundred thousand!"

"This is jade gambling! One cut can make you rich or poor!"

The young woman's face darkened further, her chest heaving as she suppressed her anger.

But she was not giving up, so she picked another stone and asked the shopkeeper to cut it open.

Liu Xin leaned close to Chen Mo's ear and whispered, "Do you think we can find anything from this?"

Chen Mo released his mental energy to scan the stone.

The stone was grayish-white, without any trace of green or even a speck of cotton; it was a complete waste.

Chen Mo shook his head: "No way! We'd be losing money on this stone too!"

Chen Mo's voice wasn't loud, but the young woman heard it.

She turned and glanced at Chen Mo, her gaze somewhat unfriendly.

Liu Xin scoffed: "Do you think you have X-ray vision? You can tell just by looking?"

"Just wait and see!"

Chen Mo did not explain.

The stall owner quickly cut the stone completely open, then made two more cuts, and sure enough, there was nothing there.

"It's collapsed, it's collapsed again! We've suffered huge losses!"

"I knew it! This outer shell just didn't look right!"

"This girl is really unlucky today."

The onlookers were abuzz with discussion; some shook their heads, some sighed, and some gloated.

The young woman's face turned even paler, and the knuckles of her fingers gripping the bag strap turned white.

Liu Xin stared at the pile of scrap on the ground, then at Chen Mo, his mouth agape.

"Old Chen, you were right! It really did collapse! How did you know?"

"Just a guess!"

Chen Mo shrugged.

"A guess?"

Liu Xin didn't believe it. "You guessed two stones correctly last time, and you guessed them again this time. Your accuracy rate is too high!"

Liu Xin stared at Chen Mo for a few seconds, then suddenly lowered her voice, her expression mysterious:

"Old Chen, tell me honestly, do you have X-ray vision or golden eyes like those in novels?"

Chen Mo nodded seriously: "Yes!"

"Get lost!"

Liu Xin shoved him, "I don't believe you for a second!"

Chen Mo said, "Alright, enough nonsense. Didn't you say you've been running a clinic in this antique street for so many years and have never dabbled in jade gambling?"

"If you really want to play, I'll pick one out for you!"

Liu Xin hesitated.

He ran a clinic in this antique market for seven or eight years, watching others gamble on stones every day. Some became rich overnight, while others lost everything.

But I've always just watched the spectacle; I've never actually tried it myself. It's not that I didn't want to, it's that I was too afraid.

But when he saw Chen Mo last time, he felt a little itchy inside after seeing him rise twice in a row.

"OK!"

Liu Xin gritted her teeth and said, "Since you want to play, then let's play one round. It's a deal, just one round. If you lose, you have to accept it. No getting carried away!"

Chen Mo nodded, squatted down, and scanned the stones on the ground one by one.

The mental energy spread out, sweeping across the stones.

scrap!

It's still waste!

This piece does have some green, but it has too many cracks and isn't worth much.

Liu Xin squatted down next to him, watching him pick out stones, and couldn't help but feel uneasy.

The way this kid is picking stones is really convincing.

A moment later, Chen Mo's gaze fell on a rock.

The stone wasn't large, about the size of a fist, and was oval-shaped with a grayish-brown surface and several faint python-like markings.

The spiritual energy penetrated the stone's outer layer, revealing a lush green interior.

The green was a perfect shade, a bright, vibrant green, like tender buds just sprouting in spring.

It has a delicate texture and is very moist. When held up to the light, you can feel its lustrous, almost dripping quality.

The jade inside is about the size of a duck egg, perfectly shaped, and without a single crack.

Chen Mo picked up the stone, weighed it in his hand, then handed it to Liu Xin, smiling as he said:

"Hey! If you're really going to buy one, buy this one!"

Liu Xin took the stone and examined it over and over in her hands.

He didn't know anything about jade gambling, but having spent seven or eight years in this antique market, he had heard a bit about it.

The outer skin of this stone looks quite good, with clear python patterns and pine flower patterns.

But Liu Xin had no idea whether anything could actually be produced.

Are you sure?

Chen Mo said calmly, "If you trust me, buy this one!"
