60 -60: Harbouring Ulterior Motives
Ou Mucen’s expression did indeed become rather unsightly, his eyes narrowed slightly.
He had originally planned to leave, but after glancing at the items on the auction table in front of him, suddenly, his interest was piqued again, “The item on auction above, which one is the best?”
Ye Ning was startled, “Huh?”
Ou Mucen looked coldly towards her, “Didn’t you say you are Lin Yebai’s apprentice?
Then can you tell which one is most valuable?”
That was easy to answer!
Ye Ning had no idea what was on the man’s mind.
Upon hearing his request to pick out the best item from the auction table, she glanced over and pointed to a jade clasp the size of a thumb placed at the very edge, “That one!”
Ou Mucen frowned slightly, “Are you sure?”
Ye Ning smiled, “Sure.
If you don’t believe me, you can look at the auction price later.
It will definitely be the highest.”
Ou Mucen fell silent…
That indeed was the item with the highest starting bid in the entire venue, but the price list had always been in his hands—she had never seen it, yet she had confidently made such a statement.
It seemed that her ability to appraise and identify treasures was truly not simple.
Ou Mucen’s face finally softened a bit.
He stood up from his chair, and without saying another word, turned and left the place.
Ye Ning sat there watching, dumbfounded.
He’s leaving just like that?
The auction isn’t over yet; how could he just leave?
She had been planning to create an opportunity for him to meet Mr.
How could this man leave so quickly?
Ye Ning grabbed her bag and chased after him for quite a while, finally catching up to him near the entrance, “Young Master, why did you leave just like that?
Aren’t you bidding on the items anymore?”
Ou Mucen ignored her and walked towards the door.
Seeing his car already parked there, he quickened his steps toward it.
Ye Ning, watching from behind, was agape…
Good heavens, when did his car get parked at this entrance?
Wasn’t it parked by that building earlier?
Could it be that while they were entering, he’d already had someone bring his car over?
“Young Master, are we going back to the company?”
Make a phone call to Secretary Gao, tell her the meeting with Mr.
Huo set for this morning is in half an hour.”
The person who got out of the car to open the door for him was not Secretary Gao, but the men in black who looked like those who had appeared at the jewelry store that day.
Upon hearing the president’s order to go to the Lido Hotel, they immediately came over to open the car door for him.
Ye Ning stood behind and heard this, slightly taken aback.
Before long, a radiant smile spread across her pretty face.
Ou Mucen got into the car, yet he did not notice the triumphant smile of the woman behind him.
Once seated, he naturally took out his phone and opened the email with the detailed information about the Huo Family sent by Secretary Gao not long before.
Caught up in thought, the driver who came in hesitated before speaking up, “Young Master, is Miss An also going to Lido with us?”
Ou Mucen, reminded by the question, finally remembered there was such a person, and he immediately looked up with a dark expression towards the outside, “What are you still standing there for?
Don’t you plan to go back?”
Ye Ning had been lost in thought standing there when she suddenly heard this.
She quickly responded, “No…
no, I just saw that you, Young Master, still have things to do.
I was thinking of taking the bus back myself so as not to hold you up!”
