Chapter 135 - One After Another (2/2)

Second Auntie murmured to her husband.

Although she tried to speak quietly, everyone in the main hall heard her remark.

Chen Gexin pulled a taut face while w.a.n.g Xiaoyun snorted. “Gexin had worked near Chu Zhou City for two decades. It’s impossible not to recognize him.”

“What kind of boss acts like him? It seemed that he thinks Third Brother is the tyc.o.o.n, not the other way around.” Second Auntie refuted.

“That’s enough.” Chen Zhenxin announced somberly.

Even Great Uncle had many questions. Chen Gexin was the only person who had met Yan s.h.i.+gao before, so he saw where the suspicion were coming from. However, even if the guest was a hired actor, it was not the right time to find out the truth.

“Xiaoyun, what did Boss Yan give you? Let’s see.” Fourth Auntie asked.

Everyone looked at w.a.n.g Xiaoyun expectantly.

Doubts suddenly sprouted in w.a.n.g Xiaoyun’s mind. She had never met Yan s.h.i.+gao either, but she believed her husband’s judgment. However, what if Boss Yan was up to something else and gave a poor gift to make her a laughing stock?

“Indeed, Xiaoyun. He is a billionaire; we all want to see what kind of gift he could afford.” Second Auntie chimed in.

Seeing the conversation had caught more and more people’s interest, w.a.n.g Xiaoyun knew she had to oblige.

“Fine, so be it.” w.a.n.g Xiaoyun gritted her teeth and opened the box.

Inside the delicate gift box was a pair of semi-transparent jadeite bracelets wrapped in gold foil.

The bracelets were green in color and were unmarred by imperfections. w.a.n.g Xiaoyun gently lifted the two bracelets and clanked them together, making them sing a musical note. She then raised the bracelet to look at them against the sunlight; it was perfect emerald green.

“These bracelets…”

Everyone at the table were upper-cla.s.s elites and knew the ins and out of jewelry very well. Seeing the supreme quality of the bracelets, many gasped.

“It’s a pair of authentic semi-transparent green jadeite bracelet of the highest grade. It’s worth over ten millions at least.” Boss Li from the Reed group exclaimed.

“More than that. It is devoid of any imperfections. I say it would cost at least twenty million.” Another tyc.o.o.n put in.

“Hold on. I remember now! This was the pair that got auctioned off at Christie’s. a few weeks ago. It was called Spring in a Mansion.” One of the guests who happened to be a jeweler exclaimed.

“This pair of Spring in a Mansion was in the display case of Lao Fengxiang Jewelers for centuries. It had fetched over fifty million HK yuan. Rumor had it that the buyer was a tyc.o.o.n from Jiang Bei.

“The green of spring filled the mansion with crisp musical notes. That was the meaning behind its name.”

“Spring in a Mansion!”

“Fifty Million HK yuan!”

“Tyc.o.o.n from Jiang Bei!”

Surprise was written all over everyone’s face. Who would have thought a small gift would be worth ten Ferraris. Such wealth, and such generosity!

By then, no one doubted that the guest really was Boss Yan since no one else could have afforded such a gift.

However, another question quickly rose inside of everyone’s mind. Fifty million was not a small number, even for Yan s.h.i.+gao. Why would he purchase such an expensive gift for w.a.n.g Xiaoyun?

Second Auntie and Fourth Auntie’s eyes were green with envy.

Pretty Jewelries were the soft spot of every woman. Second Auntie unconsciously pulled her sleeve over her wrist to cover up her own bracelet that was worth only seventy thousand yuan.

“Gexin, we need to return it.” w.a.n.g Xiaoyun turned to Chen Gexin and said.

Chen Gexin shook his head with an expression that read: “not now.” Later, when the gathering was over, he would visit Boss Yan in person to find out why would he gave such an expensive gift.

Chen Gexin was also confused why Boss Yan didn’t come to see him first; instead, he stopped by Chen Fan’s table for a while. Could it be that he was here for Chen Fan?

The thought amused Chen Gexin. He shook his head and disregarded the possibility. He knew his son better than anyone else.

The rest of the guests all acted as everyone expected. Second Uncle heaved a sigh and was convinced that Boss Yan was a rare exception.

Sensing the flow of guests were about to stop, Chen Xu regained some confidence, and he said with a smug smile:

“Xiao Fan, not bad! Your family finally scored a guest. A huge improvement from last year.”

Everyone could tell the contempt in his words.

Chen An furrowed his brows. Although Boss Yan was the only one who came, he was more influential than most of the gusts of other families.

“I might have underestimated my Uncle Gexin.”

Chen An thought to himself. Despite the appearance of Yan s.h.i.+gao, Chen An was confident that he and his father’s positions were unchallenged.

Even as he thought so, the doorman announced another guest.

“Zhen Jiulin, Owner of the Zhen De Group from Chu Zhou City, arrives!”
