"Excuse me, is the consignor of this Millennium Dragon Stone Jadeite Mr. Bo, Bao Gucheng?"
Gu Shiyin’s tone was elegant and gentle.
It wasn’t an accusation, but a tender inquiry.
Still, when those three words "Bao Gucheng" were spoken, the whole room shuddered involuntarily.
The empire’s formidable and fierce special forces commander?
The Living Yama who recently, at the national memorial ceremony, personally supported the coffin and conferred posthumous honors to the fallen comrades?
My goodness, even thinking about it brings to mind that man’s gaze, cold as ice and stern as a mountain, with the aura of raising his hand to kill thousands. Is he really in a place of revelry today?
How can they still dare to let loose and have fun?
The auctioneer quickly responded with a smile, "No, Miss Gu, this Millennium Dragon Stone Jadeite was consigned to us for auction by a guest in VIP Room No. 1."
The anxious crowd finally felt relieved.
However, upon realization, they marveled again and all looked towards Xi Rubao, who was holding two tourmaline beads on stage:
"Young lady, you’re amazing, having a Millennium Dragon Stone Jadeite at home to auction off?"
"Wow, you really know how to enjoy life. Even with such expensive jadeite, you still spend ten thousand on gambling stones. Is this the dull yet simple life of the truly wealthy?"
"Young lady, here’s my business card, let’s be friends!"
Xi Rubao proudly lifted her head, "Sorry, this is my sister’s jadeite. You’re flattering the wrong person!"
Wow, the young girl has a wealthy and beautiful older sister?
All at once, the young heirs in the room were visibly interested.
Which made Chu Qiaoen furious with jealousy.
"Just a few country girls, pretending to be wealthy and beautiful? That so-called Millennium Jadeite must be fake!" Chu Qiaoen said angrily, "Aunt Shiyin, I really can’t stand people like them!"
Especially that Zuzi, who has been opposing her since they met on the plane, trying to seduce her Mr. Bai, and playing tricks with candy for curing diseases. How could that vixen be a wealthy beauty? She couldn’t stand it!
Gu Shiyin pursed her lips, sighed, and spoke fairly, "Qiao En, the jadeite must have undergone preliminary verification before reaching the auction stage, so it shouldn’t be fake, but..."
She hesitated, as if it was inconvenient to express her doubts.
Chu Qiaoen suddenly recalled what Gu Shiyin had said before, that the jadeite resembled Bao Gucheng’s Jade Pendant.
She slapped her forehead, "Aunt Shiyin, they’re thieves! I must report them for stealing Mr. Bo’s Jade Pendant!"
Gu Shiyin held her back, gently shaking her head, "Qiao En, without evidence, we can’t speak carelessly."
An attitude of keeping the peace.
Hearing this, Chu Qiaoen became more agitated, "Aunt, I can’t tolerate deceit. Since I know they’re thieves, how can I pretend otherwise? Aunt, you’re kind-hearted not to argue with them, but I won’t stand by idly. I’ll meticulously pursue every detail! No evidence, you say... who says there’s no evidence?"
Chu Qiaoen turned and said, "Brother Long, Brother Hu, you’re with Mr. Bo. Can’t you recognize that the Jade Pendant is his? Step out and testify! Wait, where’s Brother Long?"
Chen Long had somehow left the auction hall, heading quickly toward the bathroom.
She then grabbed Yin Hu, refusing to let go, "Brother Hu, speak up. You must help me expose the truth about that fraud Zuzi!"
Yin Hu was still troubled by the 2.5 million debt he incurred and felt uncomfortable, "I really can’t distinguish any characteristic of Mr. Bo’s Jade Pendant, as he always wears it closely..."
Chu Qiaoen bit her lip and glared at him disdainfully.
Then she turned to see Gu Shiyin fiddling with her phone, and her eyes lit up!
