Chapter 604: She Is the Wanqi Family’s Honored Guest
In truth, within Mu Dashao’s heart, there was not the tranquility shown on his face.
The girl looked young, first attracting the attention of the Darwin Family, and just casually mentioned a budget of forty million.
That is not something an ordinary person could easily say.
No girl from a prominent family in Beijing could casually speak of a forty million budget.
He was growing more and more curious about Gu Jin’s identity.
When did such a person appear in Beijing? He must send someone to investigate thoroughly upon return.
Gu Jin led An Mingji to stand before Kasi: "Please lead the way."
"Certainly—"
Kasi led the way in front, with the Darwin Family’s bodyguards standing behind Gu Jin and An Mingji, seemingly escorting them upstairs, but in truth, to prevent them from fleeing.
As the group ascended the stairs and vanished from sight, the once silent hall erupted into noise.
Mu Zifan looked to his side at Wanqi Jingyi, who continued to stare upstairs with a worried expression, and he raised his eyebrow, whispering: "Who is that girl?"
Actually, when Mu Dashao asked, he didn’t expect Wanqi Jingyi to answer.
Retracting his gaze from Gu Jin’s departing direction, Wanqi Jingyi replied indifferently: "She is a valued guest of the Wanqi Family."
Mu Zifan, hearing this, raised his eyebrows slightly.
It seems the girl’s identity is even more complex than he imagined.
Interesting, truly interesting.
Although all the factions in Beijing are under the control of his Mu Family, judging by Wanqi Jingyi’s attitude, it seems the girl has a long-standing connection with the Wanqi Family.
It was evident, just from observing the attitudes of Wanqi Jingyi and his brother earlier.
The host on stage felt relieved for some unknown reason after seeing the Darwin Family leave.
Glancing at the somewhat noisy crowd in the hall, he raised the microphone: "Ahem... The auction continues, the lady with number sixty-one placed a bid of three hundred and thirty thousand for the bronze item on stage. Is there anyone else interested?"
As the host finished speaking, someone in the audience raised a paddle.
"Number one hundred and one, bids three hundred and forty thousand, any more bids?"
"Number eighteen, bids three hundred and fifty thousand..."
The auction proceeded normally, as if the previous tense standoff was but a fleeting episode.
Gu Jin and An Mingji made their way upstairs, arriving at the door of the VIP room.
Kasi opened the door and gestured with her hand: "Please, come in."
An Mingji cast a light glance at her, his eyes behind the lenses of his glasses shone with a hidden, enigmatic brilliance.
Holding Gu Jin’s hand, he stepped into the room.
He was curious to see who inside the room had the power to unnerve his A Jin.
Inside, An Feng had been observing downstairs, knowing that the people she was awaiting were about to arrive.
Upon hearing the door open, she hastily tidied her already neat dress, standing at the center of the room, eyes fixed on the doorway.
The handsome young man stepping in first was even more striking up close.
The young man had enchanting eyes that exuded a charming allure, causing hearts to flutter, and despite wearing glasses, they could not conceal his expressive gaze.
Such captivating eyes were all too familiar to her, so intoxicatingly alluring.
One could only wonder how many girls would be charmed by this young man.
His mesmerizing eyes aside, he exuded an aloof coolness that kept others at a distance, yet this only highlighted his impeccable refinement and ethereal grace.
An Feng saw the shadow of her sister in the young man.
Upon seeing the elderly woman with a head of white hair standing in the VIP room, An Mingji’s eyes revealed a tremor of shock and disbelief.
