Chu Qiaoen could never have imagined that Zuzi would enter the auction’s VIP room as a seller.
She was so angry her chest heaved, and she stomped her foot, tugging on Gu Shiyin’s arm playfully:
"Aunt Shiyin, that damn girl must be a fraud. She couldn’t afford a first-class ticket flying from Qingcheng to the capital. How much money could her family have? What good thing could they have? She’s definitely holding a fake piece of jade, and Manager Qiu is probably going to be deceived by her!"
"Is it fake..." Gu Shiyin shook her head.
Her face was solemn, wanting to speak but holding back.
"What I’m worried about now isn’t her faking it, but that this piece of jade has an unclear origin..."
It looked too similar to the ancestral Jade Pendant of Bao Gucheng. It really looked too similar.
But wasn’t Mr. Bo’s Jade Pendant lost in Qingcheng?
Wait, this girl came from Qingcheng too?
Chu Qiaoen exploded: "What? Unclear origin? Aunt, you’re too polite and refined in your words. Isn’t she just a thief! I’m going to report her right now!"
Gu Shiyin gently held her hand: "Qiaoen, don’t rush. Let’s... wait a little more. We shouldn’t wrong a good person."
She had just caught a glimpse earlier, and it wasn’t clear enough.
If this Jade Pendant is going to be on the auction stage later, we can observe it thoroughly.
Bao Gucheng will be here soon, just in time to have the owner appraise it.
If we can help Mr. Bo retrieve the lost Beautiful Jade today, it would be something to celebrate and... throw a banquet for, wouldn’t it?
I’ve been worried about not being able to arrange a dinner date... and such a good reason just came along.
Chu Qiaoen muttered: "Aunt, you’re so kind, unwilling to wrong a good person, but that county girl looks like a vixen, all seductive, how does she look like a good person!"
Gu Shiyin smiled: "You can’t judge people by their appearance."
"Aunt, I don’t have as many masks as you do, with so much experience, I don’t know how to look properly!"
"It’s fine, I’m here."
"Aunt, you’re really good, no wonder Pingting admires you the most, I also declare myself as your loyal little fangirl."
Chu Qiaoen broke into a smile and followed Gu Shiyin into the VIP-6 room.
Xi Rubao was happily bouncing, like little bubbles, following Zuzi into the VIP-1 room.
Qiu Guosheng rubbed his hands: "Honored guest, could you let me admire your beautiful jade? I heard from the bodyguard that it looks like a rare century-old dragonstone jadeite?"
Zuzi raised her phoenix eyes slightly: "A hundred years? Ancestors don’t have any broken stones that are a hundred years old."
Qiu Guosheng’s lips twitched: "Ahem, then may I ask how many years?"
Could it be nearly a thousand years? That would be a fortune, definitely the finale of tonight’s auction, causing a sensation.
Zuzi extended her slender hand, playing with the Jade Pendant in her hand, and said indifferently: "Not long. Just ten to twenty thousand years."
Qiu Guosheng’s pupils shrank, he choked on a breath, almost couldn’t catch it, and stumbled, knocking over the vase on the table.
Before she fell asleep, she casually scattered some around, leaving them as keys to treasure chests, waiting for the day she’d wake up to open the chests and have a drink.
So far, only two pieces have been found on Bao Gucheng and Xi Chansha.
But they’re not really considered rare items.
Xiao Cheng and Xiao Sansnan handed them over to her with great ease and generosity.
This manager is making a fuss over nothing.
Not very useful, huh.
Qiu Guosheng barely steadied his breath, speaking in a trembling voice: "You, name a price, and I’ll place it in the finale position, highlighting your Eternal Jade!"
Now, looking at Zuzi, his respect was no longer just for a great-grandmother, but an ancestor from eight generations ago!
At this moment, the Ancestor was contemplating: "How much to price it... let me think..."
The little crow was very nervous: "Ancestor, are you really going to sell the boy’s Jade Pendant?"
