TBBD Chapter 54

The Big Brother’s Daughter Has Become the Favorite of the Wealthy Group Chapter 54: Pretty Ones Aren’t Worth Much

Then, someone immediately noticed the basket of stones beside Bo Ya.

Someone realized:

“Aren’t these the stones we left over from earlier?”

“Yeah, why is she choosing these? Anyone knows there’s no good stuff in there.”

“And she even chose such an ugly stone! What kind of taste is that! Doesn’t she know that the prettier the stone, the more valuable it is? Doesn’t she even know how to gamble on stones?”

“Hey, what did I just say? Bo Ya is just a bookworm, all she can do is solve problems. When it comes to making money, Bo Xue’er is much better. She’s only been gambling on stones for ten minutes, and she’s already made her dad a million!”

“These stones are really valuable,” Bo Ya ignored their comments and showed them the ugly stone in her hand, saying seriously, “Do you want them? If not, I’ll take them.”

Although she wanted to choose three pretty stones for her father, the little girl thought again, choosing the ugliest stone wasn’t a bad idea.

What if her father liked ugly ones?

The surrounding people burst into laughter.

“How much could such an ugly stone be worth?”

Xiao Boya thought for a moment and said, “More than a million.”

The people around laughed even louder, and Bo Xue’er couldn’t stop laughing. Boya really dared to say that, with the stone appraiser right there, wasn’t she afraid of being embarrassed on the spot!

Seeing that they didn’t want it, Boya simply kept it herself. She asked the host, “Uncle, how much is this stone?”

The host’s expression froze for a moment when he saw the stone in her hand, but he quickly recovered and smiled, saying, “Ten yuan.”

Hearing such a small amount of money, the people around became even more convinced that this stone was no different from one picked up on the roadside.

After Boya swiped her black card for ten yuan, the host took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, took the microphone, and said with a smile,

“Ladies and gentlemen, today’s lucky winner of the grand prize has been announced!”

Bo Xue’er’s pupils shrank, and she instantly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the next second, the host continued,

“Congratulations to Boya for buying the Northern Dynasty Imperial Palace Mountain Landscape Stone, worth 110 million yuan, for ten yuan!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd below instantly erupted in cheers.

“What?”

“110 million yuan?”

“Such an ugly stone is worth over 100 million?”

“It must be fake!”

The host explained, “Of course, the stone itself isn’t worth such an astronomical price. Its value lies in its historical significance. Legend has it that this mountain-view stone was a token of love from a young, impoverished emperor of the Northern Dynasties to his beloved empress. In the imperial palace, it was even more precious than the emperor’s jade seal. Now, passed down through generations, its price has risen continuously through various transactions. Ultimately, the price we obtained through this auction is 110 million.”

Rich people aren’t stupid. There’s definitely more to driving up the price of a stone than just this. It might have a special purpose, like Buddhist prayer beads. But without a doubt, this stone will resell for even more than 110 million.

Furthermore, according to the rules of stone gambling, Bo Ya could even sell the stone directly to the Huo family and take away 110 million.

“I want it! I want this stone! Can I have it now?!”

Someone regretted their decision: “Bo Ya, give me this stone! Or I can buy it for fifty million!”

Many people rushed to offer their stones.

“Give it to me, give me the stone, Bo Ya. I can buy this stone for a hundred million!”

The person who spoke was the one who said Bo Ya was a bookworm and couldn’t compare to Bo Xue’er. He was now filled with regret. Bo Ya was no bookworm at all; she was clearly better at gambling on stones than Bo Xue’er!

Compared to Bo Ya, Bo Xue’er was nothing!

Bo Xue’er’s face was extremely ugly.

She had thought she could beat Bo Ya by gambling on stones, but unexpectedly, Bo Ya turned around and won the biggest prize of the whole event. Her 1 million was not even a fraction of the 110 million!

Only then did Bo Xue’er realize what had happened.

The book only mentioned that among the selected stones, the most expensive was one worth nearly 100 million, but she never expected that among the remaining undrawn stones, there was one even more expensive!

And now, Bo Ya had chosen this more expensive stone.

Bo Xue’er was heartbroken.

Bo Ya looked at those who wanted to buy the stone and refused them all: “This is a stone I bought for my father with my own money. I won’t sell it or give it away.”

If she hadn’t bought it yet, Bo Ya might have given it away. After all, having too much money isn’t a good thing. Her father’s bad luck was because he had too much money, but she had already spent money on it, and since her father paid for it, the stone belonged to him.

She had no right to sell it or give away her father’s stone.

Don’t underestimate Bo Ya just because she’s young; she’s incredibly shrewd.

However, the people around her could understand. If they were in her shoes, they wouldn’t sell or give it away either. Besides, Bo Ya had given them opportunities; they were just too lazy to seize them, so they couldn’t blame anyone else.

But they were still incredibly envious.

“Bo Ya just helped her father earn a hundred million, and now she’s earned another hundred million. If I had a daughter like that, I’d be laughing in my sleep.”

“Yeah, compared to that, Bo Xue’er’s one million is nothing.”

“I was blind to think Bo Ya was just a bookworm who only knew how to do math problems!”

“In my opinion, Bo Ya is definitely much better than Bo Xue’er! Not only is she faster at solving problems, but the stones Bo Ya got this time are worth more than all the money Bo Xue’er won gambling on stones before!”

“I just thought Bo Yaozu was so lucky to have a daughter like Bo Xue’er, but now it seems Third Master is clearly the luckiest one!”

Bo Yaozu and Bo Qingguo’s smug expressions after winning a million vanished, their faces turning grim.

Bo Xue’er gritted her teeth, frantically searching through the stone basket. If she found the three stones described in the novel, whose combined value was a staggering 150 million, even higher than Bo Ya’s 110 million, she would still win!

Unfortunately, due to her haste, she made a mistake, and since so many stones were similar, in the end, Bo Xue’er chose stones that were all worthless roadside stones!

She ended up losing all the one million she had won in the lottery by buying these “worthless” stones.

Bo Xue’er was furious.

The way people around her looked at her changed.

Meanwhile, Bo Ya happily took the ugly stones she had bought, along with two pretty pebbles, and ran to show them off to her father.

She placed the three stones behind her back and asked,

“Daddy, do you want the ugly stone or the pretty stone?”

Bo Yexiao held out his hand, “I want the card.”

Bo Ya: “…”

“No, you have to have a stone,” Bo Ya said unhappily, “otherwise I’ll have bought it for nothing!”

To shut her up, and considering her good performance on this independent mission, Bo Yexiao gave in to her wishes and randomly picked one, saying, “I want the ugly one.”

“But there’s only one ugly one,” Bo Ya hesitated, “If I give it to you, I won’t have any left.”

Bo Yexiao: “Then give me the pretty one.”

Bo Ya said in distress, “But pretty ones aren’t worth much.”

Bo Yexiao: “…”

“Hmm?” Seeing that he didn’t speak, Bo Ya asked excitedly again, “Daddy, do you want the ugly stone or the pretty stone?”

Bo Yexiao smiled and said, word by word, “I want the card.”

Bo Ya: “…”
