At the moment everyone was curious about whether the guest in VIP Room No. 1 was Fourth Young Master Nangong, and whether they would accept the invitation from Treasure Appraiser "S".
The screen showed that VIP Room No. 1 had chosen rough stone No. 55!
"Damn, that’s the definition of a quiet badass."
"Wait, isn’t this guy being a bit too rash... Out of these fifty-odd rough stones, No. 55 is the least conspicuous and the smallest. Sitting in VIP Room No. 1, and bidding 6 million on the Moonstone, with his status and position, is he really only daring to gamble on this worthless stone?"
"Exactly, according to Goddess S’s appraisal, the starting price for No. 55 is only 10,000, not even as big as my thumb. Who would buy it?"
"He’s probably cleaned out after the 6 million bid earlier, and now penniless..."
"No way this is Fourth Young Master Nangong, must be some nobody pretending to be someone important..."
Amid all the discussions.
Gu Shiyin’s eyes, hidden beneath the brown cloak and mask, lifted slightly.
She initially wanted to guide the VIP in Room No. 1 to buy an expensive rough stone and suffer a major loss.
Unexpectedly, the other party chose the cheapest one. It seems... the other party indeed has no substantial strength; the competition with Chu Qiaoen over the Moonstone earlier must have been their limit.
Even if it’s just 10,000, this business will still be a total loss.
She had already looked at Stone No. 55 long ago and believed nothing could be opened out of it; it’s too small, with a thick shell, impossible to contain any valuable gemstones, not even a hint of oily green or cotton-like inclusions. It should be an edge waste material, commonly called "brick material."
So, 10,000 is money down the drain.
This is a world apart from the No. 6 and No. 16 she suggested to Chu Qiaoen and Yin Hu.
Gu Shiyin withdrew her gaze.
In fact, she didn’t care about VIP Room No. 1. Since Bao Gucheng didn’t come today, it would be nice to let Yin Hu and Chen Long have fun, and give her junior sister Chu Qiaoen a little benefit.
After all, having everyone in Bao Gucheng’s circle speak well of her is truly acting silently.
People are social creatures.
She understands human nature well.
The selection of a 10,000-rough stone by VIP Room No. 1 led to ridicule from the whole venue.
And made Chu Qiaoen in VIP Room No. 6 finally feel proud for once:
"Hahaha, how shabby, even calling it VIP, isn’t it just like a county girl’s taste? I listened to Aunt Shiyin and chose No. 6. Hey, Brother Hu, No. 16, suggested by Aunt Shiyin, also contains a 6; what a coincidence."
Yin Hu shyly smiled: "Because Miss Gu is the sixth Miss of the Gu Family, 6 is her lucky number."
In the capital’s aristocratic circle, everyone knows Gu Shiyin is the daughter born after Miss Gu, Gu Qiusha, was expelled from home, Mr. Gu fell severely ill, and later, a feng shui master advised him and his wife to have another daughter through in vitro technology. Thus, Miss Gu, Gu Shiyin, was born.
So although Gu Shiyin is young, she holds a high seniority in the circle and is a peer with Bao Gucheng, Bai Fei, and even Gu Yuzhi.
Plus, she has been talented from a young age, flourishing in countless fields, and is respected by juniors as "Auntie."
Chu Qiaoen was marveling with Yin Hu: "Auntie is amazing, the lucky number 6 chosen by Auntie will definitely make our dreams come true..."
Two lines of information appeared abruptly on the screen——
"VIP Room No. 1 bids for rough stone No. 6, bidding 1 million."
"VIP Room No. 1 bids for rough stone No. 16, bidding 1 million."
Chu Qiaoen was almost furious.
The rough stone No. 6 she had chosen was originally priced at just 100,000, and this damn guy not only snatched her bid but also raised the price tenfold at once!
That big villain, definitely making her embarrassed on purpose, what does this person have against her, could it be she had ever cursed their ancestors?!
