Chapter 592: Auction, Italian Nobility
Looking at the young man beside her again, he wore a black casual suit, tailored in an inverted triangle style, broad-shouldered and tapered at the waist, fitting him perfectly without the slightest discrepancy, perfectly showcasing his good physique.
Unlike most of the men around him, who wore suits, his trousers only reached the ankles, with exquisite leather shoes stepping on his feet, revealing his ankles’ fair complexion.
The young man wore a white shirt on his upper body, with a suit jacket draped over his arm, his delicate features clearly visible to everyone present.
Those romantic almond eyes, even with glasses, still made hearts flutter.
The young man’s hair was slightly long, casually draped around the nape of his neck.
His thin lips curved into a reserved arc, exuding a hint of youthful yet mature male charm, conveying a sense of nobility and an innate charisma.
The woman beside him, dressed in a modified black cheongsam, said something, and the young man smiled lightly, curling his lips.
That smile was gentle and indulgent, indescribably charming.
Especially when the young man’s eyes flickered, the wave of his gaze felt like a breeze brushing over people’s faces, truly pleasing to the eye.
People generally have no resistance to beautiful things.
Appreciating beauty is a basic instinct of humans.
More and more people around them began to notice Gu Jin and An Mingji’s presence, marveling unconsciously.
They walked casually and confidently towards Qiu Qianghai, unfazed by the surrounding gazes, to which they were accustomed.
"My two ancestors!" Qiu Qianghai genuinely didn’t know how to evaluate this pair of siblings.
All words were reduced to just calling them ancestors.
Gu Jin smiled slightly, "Brother Hai, have you been waiting long?"
"Not long, I just came out too." Qiu Qianghai glanced around at the males and females looking over, leading the two toward the venue.
He was very aware of the looks sent their way from those around.
Aware they were scrutinizing the two fascinating figures beside him.
Inside the venue, the place was a blend of elegance and lively chatter, everyone possessing extraordinary poise. This was an auction aimed at the upper class, and those who could appear here were either wealthy or noble, possessing a certain status.
These people dressed in a dazzling display of jewelry, highlighting their own status and wealth. There were also quite a few foreign friends present, everyone with radiant smiles, the masks they were accustomed to wearing during social events.
With these people around, Gu Jin and An Mingji were no longer as attention-catching.
Following Qiu Qianghai, they walked into the venue and took seats in the front rows.
In the front, there were only twenty to thirty seats, this area under special protection, separated from the rest by boundaries.
It was evident that those who could sit here were not ordinary people in terms of status or position.
The reason Qiu Qianghai, Gu Jin, and others could sit here was due to their connection with the Wanqi Family.
The Wanqi Family would also attend tonight, having reserved positions in advance upon learning Gu Jin would participate.
After the three sat down, Qiu Qianghai relayed the information he’d gathered to the two of them.
"There’s only a quarter hour left until the auction begins. I’ve found out that Night Paradise is scheduled last, as tonight’s highlight."
"Do you know how many competitors there are?"
Gu Jin was quite concerned about this matter, as knowing oneself and knowing the enemy were key to victory.
"I know of three, a businessman from Hong Kong, the Mu Family among the Four Great Families, who are also interested in Night Paradise, as well as some nobles from Italy upstairs."
"So many people?" Gu Jin furrowed her eyebrows slightly.
Even just the Mu Family, the top of the Four Great Families, made Gu Jin a bit surprised.
