Chapter 883: Ajin Is Jealous

Ultimately, the top-grade jade raw stone didn’t sell for more than four million.

Lao Xin, who had been in the venue all along, shook his head gently upon hearing the final transaction price, feeling deeply regretful.

If the boss had agreed in the morning to sell it for four million, they would have earned an additional 850,000 today.

The host on stage looked towards the location where An Mingji was seated and announced with a smile, "Congratulations to the gentleman in the audience for acquiring this top-grade jade raw stone for 3.15 million!"

"Clap clap clap—"

"Clap clap clap clap—"

Many in the audience applauded.

An Mingji stood up politely and nodded slightly to everyone.

Seeing his picturesque and exquisite features, quite a few people were captivated.

Of course, most of these people were women.

They were all stunned by the young man’s appearance.

The young man’s heroic brows, bewitching peach blossom eyes, high-bridged nose, cool and slightly curved lips were all perfectly paired with his innate nobility and gentle jade-like demeanor, embedding themselves in the eyes of many women.

In their eyes, An Mingji had the grace and elegance of a noble family’s son, carrying an irresistible charm and refined demeanor.

But careful observers noticed the unrestrained and wild nature in his eyes. He was definitely not simple.

An Mingji slowly lowered his eyes, returned to his seat, and didn’t give any of the women observing him a glance.

Whether in his eyes or his heart, there was only one A Jin.

Gu Jin noticed that many women around were staring at her little An, and those gazes carried malice, a filthy determination.

She knew clearly what that meant.

Thinking about someone desiring the child she raised herself, Gu Jin felt uneasy.

Her red lips pressed tightly together, her eyes flickering with cold light, like a sharp sword, shooting through the malicious glances of those people.

Faced with her fierce and angry stare, many women withdrew their wanton gazes.

Who attending the trading convention in Nanmian was simple?

Everyone was well aware of what happened at the neighboring restaurant at noon.

Even if they had any ideas in their hearts, recalling the blood-stained door of the Fan shop, they had to restrain their thoughts.

An Mingji looked at Gu Jin’s expression, fierce to others but adorable to him, and felt very pleased.

He liked A Jin, liked what she did for him.

This made him feel that A Jin liked him too, and cared about him, just as he did for her.

Lao Xin quickly approached Gu Jin and the others, running in small steps, and asked attentively, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you plan to cut the jade on the spot, or take it back and have someone else..."

Gu Jin interrupted him, "We won’t cut it on the spot. Just find someone to do it privately."

"Won’t that be too low-key?" Lao Xin felt doing so would reduce much of the convention’s fun and depreciate today’s auction value.

Gu Jin stared at him with a half-smile, "You can’t be unaware that we encountered an attack at the neighboring restaurant, and a second one on the way here this afternoon.

If we do another on-the-spot cutting and a top-quality jade is found inside, wouldn’t we truly have to stay as guests in Nanmian?"

Even if they didn’t stay as guests, it would inevitably invite some entanglement, delaying their journey home.

She knew well the shock Emperor Green Jade would bring to everyone.

Lao Xin knew about their encounter at the neighboring restaurant and understood that the few bosses before him were capable, otherwise they wouldn’t have been able to completely eliminate the black-masked group.
