Realizing that Zuzi is not a submissive little woman depending on Bao Gucheng’s embrace, she even calls him "Xiao Chenger".
The crowd looked at Zuzi once more, reevaluating her.
What exactly is the relationship between this woman and Mr. Bo?
Someone sneakily inquired from Xi Rubao:
"Little girl, how did your sister meet Mr. Bo?"
"I heard Mr. Bo doesn’t let any woman within ten meters of him—he’s a woman-repellent! Any woman who approaches him gets tossed aside like a sandbag! Your sister wasn’t thrown?"
"What’s your sister’s background?"
Xi Rubao looked at her sister and brother-in-law whispering sweetly, and the scene was indescribably beautiful. She felt very proud and honored—
"My sister... Mr. Bao is her mentor, and she’s his student!"
Hmph, not going to tell you more. Let you stay puzzled.
The crowd was even more confused when they heard. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NovєlFіre.net
This relationship is too complicated, isn’t it?
Student-teacher relationship? But Mr. Bo says she’s his woman? And this woman calls him something like a junior... It’s a complete mess!
While the confused crowd kept guessing, Bao Gucheng and Zuzi whispered sweetly:
"Miss Zuzi, you are truly beautiful tonight... You came to the capital and didn’t inform me first? Huh?"
"Well, ahem, Xiao Chenger was busy with serious matters, didn’t want to disturb you."
"You are the serious matter."
"Ahem ahem ahem, Xiao Chenger, does this Moonstone necklace I won look beautiful?"
"Is this the gift for the crow?"
"Uh-huh. And how about this tourmaline bead, does it look good?"
"Just right, one to make a pendant for little grass carp, and one as a tassel for my zither, what do you think?"
Zuzi introduced her "trophies".
Out of nowhere, the man asked gloomily: "And what about me?"
Even her crow and zither got gifts, but his place in her heart is below that of a bird?
Zuzi: "Huh? What did you say, Xiao Chenger?"
After a few seconds of silence, the man looked up at the auction stage at the Jade Pendant under the glass dome: "Miss Zuzi doesn’t like my... thing anymore?"
Although it was an ancestral jade, he had no objections when she took it away back then.
But now she’s going to sell it...
Why does he feel like she’s about to abandon him?
Zuzi smiled radiantly: "Xiao Chenger, how could the ancestor bear to part with it? I’m just teasing them."
Bao Gucheng: "An auction is no joke when it’s nailed with a hammer."
"Well, an ancestor can play you know."
The auctioneer had regained momentum and announced the starting bid for the Jade Pendant: "No need to worry, folks. If you win the bid for this Jade Pendant, Miss Xi will let it acknowledge a new master again..."
The guests in the hall were instantly stirred up, feeling a bit tempted!
This ten-thousand-year-old dragon stone jadeite already has exquisite quality, and with Mr. Bo’s seal of approval, it even showcased the ability to recognize a master earlier, truly a top jade piece.
Ten million is genuinely not expensive.
Those who hadn’t collected any treasures tonight were eager, getting ready to raise their paddles to bid.
The first to snatch the bid was...
"Ten million and one thousand!" Bao Gucheng said lightly.
Mr. Bo, even you’re competing with us for this?
Chen Long, who had dragged Yin Hu to the door: "..."
Sir, you’re personally spending big bucks to win back your own Jade Pendant, this is kind of baffling, isn’t it?
Xi Rubao covered her mouth and screamed: "..."
Ahhhhh brother-in-law is so handsome, ten million and one thousand, is this a declaration setting her apart from thousands for my sister?
Has Mr. Bo been bewitched by this woman? Money doesn’t get spent , Mr. Bo!
