In the middle of the banquet, Lingxiu and her companion, Hongxiu, arrive at the banquet hall. They are accompanied by Ling's fiance, who has come to pay his respects to Lingxue's parents. Ling is surprised to find that her fiance is not there to push for her marriage, but to fulfill an order from his parents to marry Ling. Ling explains that her grandfather gave her the jade pendant as a token of his friendship, but he did not expect that the person who gave it to her would be related to her. Ling also explains that the rough stones of the mountain are of the highest quality and have the highest chance of having the best jades inside. The reserve price for each rough stone is 1 million, the quality is slightly worse and the likelihood of having a jade inside is slightly lower.
