Little Tong Hua turned around, looked at Second Master, and said, “So rich!”
Everyone was confused who exactly this unfamiliar looking man was. He had never appeared in any ball before and only looked like a very stylish middle-aged man, but he was one who spent lavishly.
Money was just like a number to him.
At last, Second Master Gu successfully obtained Allure for twenty billion.
A faint smile flickered across Lu Mengxi’s face. As she was sitting in front of Shen Qianshu, she turned around and calmly looked at her. “Shen Qianshu, from today onward, I’m afraid that your celebrity appraiser title cannot be kept anymore. Allure has successfully been auctioned, and you questioned its authenticity.”
“I have a clear conscience in whatever I do!” Shen Qianshu’s face was red with anger, but she was not willing to lose her cool in front of Lu Mengxi. She suddenly thought of something, stood up, and walked towards Second Master Gu, who was sitting in the last row.
A bodyguard held her back, and Gu Xie was about to stand up when Second Master Gu waved his hand and smiled kindly at Shen Qianshu. She looked even more likable close up and was very cordial. The smile on his face widened even more.
The three people beside him all got a shock.
This living Yama instantly turned into a Maitreya 1
“Hello mister, I am Shen Qianshu, a jewelry appraiser.”
“Your name is really nice.”
“Thank you, mister!” Shen Qianshu politely bowed to him and softly said. “You might have heard that before the jewelry auction, I inspected Allure, and there were some problems. It was my misjudgment, but may I ask if you can give me a chance to inspect it one last time, to ensure that the jewelry you bought is real?”
“I heard that you said that Allure was fake.” The whole hall was filled with whispers, and anybody could hear their conversation.
“Yes!” Shen Qianshu said truthfully.
“Since you said that it was your misjudgment, why do you want to inspect it again?”
Shen Qianshu was startle. She gritted her teeth and said, “I suspect that the Allure I inspected in both situations were two different jewels. Someone replaced it with a substitute. Of course, this is only my suspicion. After you receive the jewel, I will inspect it again. If it’s real, you are at no disadvantage, but if it’s fake, you can also stop your loss. You will only waste twenty minutes of your time.”
The man in black beside was about to speak when Second Master Gu raised his hand, smiled at her, and said, “Sure.”
“Thank you!”
“Young lady, you are so likable!” Second Master Gu said. “You are very responsible. I like people who are serious in what they do.”
“Thank you!”
Lu Mengxi had been paying close attention to Shen Qianshu. After seeing that she was having a long chat with the winning bidder, Lu Mengxi frowned slightly and hurriedly took out her phone to send a message.
After the auction, Second Master Gu got the jewel necklace and passed it to Shen Qianshu. Shen Qianshu spent twenty minutes once again and ultimately confirmed that it was the real Allure. She heaved a sigh of relief and returned the necklace to Second Master Gu.
“Young lady, thank you.”
“You’re welcome. This is what I’m supposed to do.” Shen Qianshu smiled.
Second Master Gu left the auction hall with his bodyguards. Gu Xie walked towards Lin Xiaojuan and softly said, “I have something to talk to you in private.”
Shen Qianshu and little Tong Hua were discerning people, and they immediately said their goodbyes to Lin Xiaojuan. Lin Xiaojuan was helpless and had no choice but to go on Gu Xie’s car. Shen Qianshu held Tong Hua’s hand and waited for Ah Da to come to fetch them. “Mommy, the incident during the auction today, will it affect your reputation?”
Shen Qianshu became silent.
This incident was something that could go both ways.
