Qin Han watched as everyone’s attitude turned to disgust and alienation, fury burning within him. He swung his right hand, delivering a loud, solid slap to Qin Jia!
"Shut your mouth! You’ve lost all face for the Qin Family!" Qin Han yelled furiously at Qin Jia, pointing at him, "Get dressed and come back with me! We’re leaving immediately!"
As a relative of Guh Ruoyao, Guh Siqing had taken the earliest opportunity to vomit and had distanced herself far from the scene, afraid that she might get stained by the scandal.
This farcical scene hastily came to an end amidst Qin Han’s frustrated anger and the stunned silence of the bystanders. The Qin Family members dragged Qin Jia and Qin Fang into the car, slinking away in disgrace. As for Guh Ruoyao, whose connections were from a collateral line, not even one person stood by her. She had to quickly dress herself and, limping, supported herself against the wall, leaving step by step.
When everyone returned to the trading hall, they were greeted by the intimate scene of An Yiqing and Gu Yelin.
Ma Tianci had a broad perspective, and to him, nothing was more important than jade. When he saw An Yiqing, his eyes instantly lit up. He laughed heartily as he approached, "Ha ha ha! Little girl, the old man has finally seen you again!"
An Yiqing stepped out of Gu Yelin’s embrace, smiling sweetly at Ma Tianci with a tender voice, "Old Ma, it’s been a while since I’ve last seen you!"
"You, little missy, have been growing Yuyuanzhai bigger and bigger, turning into a busy big boss, who has time to see this old man?" Ma Tianci teased with a laugh.
An Yiqing shook her head helplessly, and looking at the oddly pale faces of the people around her, she asked in confusion, "What’s wrong with everyone? You all look quite ill."
Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions grew even stranger.
Ma Tianci, unstained by the circuitous ways of a businessman, heaved a sigh of sentiment, "The hearts of the younger generation are so twisted, their methods so sinister. Little girl, the old man just witnessed a despicable breach of morality! It’s utterly against the norms of decency! Oh right! Are you all right, girl? I heard they wanted to harm you!"
An Yiqing, looking at the worried Ma Tianci, offered a warm smile and said slowly, "Don’t worry, Old Ma. I’ve been with Ah Lin the whole time, and nothing has happened. Don’t be upset over those people; it’s not worth it."
The girl’s gentle words greatly comforted Ma Tianci. He admired her with an appreciative glance and said, "Young and successful people like you are rare these days! Little girl, come on! Show me which rough stones you bid on!"
An Yiqing nodded with a smile, and together with Gu Yelin, they led Ma Tianci away at a leisurely pace.
After a few had left, the remaining group couldn’t help but exchange looks. They were either businessmen or officials, and their minds weren’t as straightforward as Ma Tianci’s academic inclinations. Regarding this incident, to say it had absolutely nothing to do with An Yiqing was something none of them believed to the death.
From Qin Jia’s words, they were certain that these people indeed intended to trap An Yiqing. But why it ended up was somewhat intriguing.
Hiss—Could it be that all of this was An Yiqing seizing upon Qin Jia’s plan, turning it against them? If that was the case, then her shrewdness and tactics were truly terrifying!
Everyone involuntarily shuddered, recalling the gruesome state of Qin Fang and others in the private room, and silently warned themselves to never cross An Yiqing!
On another front, Zhang Yuksheng had used the guest code to claim all the rough stones. Faced with this pile of valuable rocks, he couldn’t help but twitch his mouth. Even the onlookers nearby were taken aback. Who was this person to have bid on so many rough
