Chapter 382: Chapter 382: Ma Jia Keeps It Very Tight; Mr. Bo’s Jade Pendant Is Being Auctioned!
"Brother Hu, what’s wrong?" Miss Gu, dressed in an understated and elegant suit, walked over and stood behind him, gently tapping his shoulder.
"I lost, Miss Gu." Yin Hu looked ashamed.
He had been wanting to see her.
But when he finally saw her, he felt even more embarrassed.
Chu Qiaoen saw Gu Shiyin finally appear, and as if she had found someone to confide in, she burst into tears and threw herself into her arms: "Aunt Shiyin, I’m so miserable, so miserable, I lost ten million tonight in the stone gambling..."
Gu Shiyin, with a face full of compassion, pulled her to a quiet corner in the hall and gently comforted her: "Stone gambling is still a form of gambling. We should keep a calm mind and not think too much of it, okay? Money can always be earned back, but a tear-streaked face isn’t exactly good-looking, and it doesn’t change anything, right?"
Chu Qiaoen cared a lot about her appearance.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, she stopped crying and nodded vigorously: "Thank you, Aunt, for guiding me."
Her aunt’s words indeed comforted her, hitting right on the point and stopping her from self-pity.
After comforting Chu Qiaoen, Gu Shiyin turned to Yin Hu: "Brother Hu, you’ve done really well. It’s your first time participating in stone gambling, and being so bold shows your confidence. Occasionally losing a bet is fine. Didn’t I also guess wrong today? Blame me, I shouldn’t have left in a rush and left you all with incorrect guidance, it’s all my fault."
"No, no, no, it’s not your fault, it’s all due to my foolishness, it’s all Yin Hu’s fault!"
He felt a little better.
Miss Gu is really so considerate. She said she guessed wrong too just to make him feel better.
After all, she’s not a treasure appraiser, guessing wrong is normal.
Seeing how receptive Yin Hu and Chu Qiaoen were to her words made Gu Shiyin secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Luckily, her disguise was tight, and her secret identity remained undiscovered.
This major misprediction, at worst, would mean that Treasure Appraiser S would disappear from the Empire, and she could start anew with a different identity.
As long as her true self wasn’t affected, she could create a new alias in a few days.
But.
Unexpectedly, just as she was relaxing, she felt that mysterious gaze burning her back again.
She turned abruptly, only to find white walls and nothing else behind her.
The distance between her and VIP Room No. 1 was not just frosted glass but several thick white walls. Could the gaze really pierce through that???
Who exactly was Xi Rubao’s companion?
At this moment.
In VIP Room No. 1.
Zuzi looked at Gu Shiyin and the others with great interest: "Hmm, this story is interesting; so that’s what ’Ma Jia’ means..."
The little raven wearing a Moonstone, prodded and pecked in the air with its sharp beak: "Trying such petty tricks to provoke the Ancestor? Manipulate the Ancestor’s people? The Ancestor can easily strip your disguise with a flick of a finger!"
Fu Xiqin chimed in: "Strip the disguise! Strip the disguise! Strip the disguise!"
Zuzi’s eyes danced with an elegant charm: "Want to watch?"
The two little ones: "Yes, yes, yes!"
They had already prepared sunflower seeds, cherries, and juice.
Zuzi’s red lips curved slightly: "Wait a moment, let me first fulfill my promise and sell this grand finale treasure."
The grand finale treasure?
Isn’t that Mr. Bo’s... personal Jade Pendant?
The two little ones were at a loss, feeling that this drama was about to escalate.
Indeed.
At this moment on the auction stage.
With the departure of Treasure Appraiser S, the final auction item was placed under a glass cover and presented.
"A piece of Millennium Dragon Stone Emerald. Starting price: 10 million."
"Wow—!"
Everyone’s excitement was once again ignited.
An item starting at ten million, just how incredible is it?
Yin Hu was stunned: This, this Jade Pendant is... Mr. Bo’s? Wasn’t it lost?
Chen Long was also stunned: Isn’t Mr. Bo’s Jade Pendant in Miss Xi’s possession? Could it be something happened to Miss Xi?
Wait a minute, that young girl earlier seemed familiar, like... Xi Rubao’s sister! Could it be...
While everyone wore different expressions.
Gu Shiyin looked at the Jade Pendant and softly spoke, her words shocking everyone—
