The emerald green that had appeared earlier was confirmed to be fake and quickly vanished; the stone cutter then stopped his work.
He looked at Shangguan Hao, somewhat at a loss for words, unsure what he could say.
At this moment, whatever he said seemed somewhat inappropriate.
After all, the smile had completely faded from Shangguan Hao's face. Though he didn't care about how much money he had lost or gained, the huge discrepancy was still distressing.
It felt very much like a climber who just reached the peak, only to tumble back down to the mountain's base.
In any case, Shangguan Hao felt nothing but frustration.
While frustrated, he couldn't help but want to look at Yang Xiao, caring about his reaction to the incident.
He wanted to know what Yang Xiao's expression was, whether Yang Xiao was mocking him, whether he was gleeful about his misfortune.
After all, the bet had started because of Yang Xiao, and his only goal was to get Yang Xiao to join the Shangguan family.
