When Zhou Zimo turned towards the direction Mu Yuchen was facing, he noticed that there was a fuss at the entrance. With raised eyebrows, he saw several bodyguards rush in. Two slender figures appeared behind them.
Two women walked in. More specifically, they were a mother-daughter pair.
The one on the left was a blonde woman wearing a plunging long black dress. She had a ruby red shawl over her shoulders, and her blonde hair was tied into a bun. Blessed with an angelic face and a great voluptuous figure, she appeared elegant and beautiful, and seemed to only be around 30 years old. Many people were impressed by her beauty!
She was City B’s well-known Mrs. Gu, Gu Qiwu’s wife, Doris!
Beside her was another woman in a dark purple dress. She had a warm smile on her face while she exuded a noble elegance and was an overwhelming beauty. It was Gu Lingsha!
“Gu Lingsha?” Zhou Zimo was surprised. Doubt niggled in his mind as he looked at the two figures. “When did she return to City B? She was still in City Z just a while ago, wasn’t she?” He looked at Mu Yuchen who was calmly drinking his tea while his eyes were filled with surprise.
Compared to him, Mu Yuchen was very calm about it. He glanced over at the two women below. Due to their exceptional beauty and uniqueness, many people were impressed by them, and were even charmed, especially when Doris glanced at the crowd. The beatific smiles on their faces were unbelievable.
They could not react otherwise.
“This is insane! The two of them are experts at seducing people! Look at that! Look! What an embarrassment to men!”
Mu Yuchen looked over in the direction Zhou Zimo was pointing at. A man was staring at Doris and Gu Lingsha intently as his hands were covering a part below his belly.
Mu Yuchen’s eyes froze over. He did not seem to care at all as he ignored Gu Lingsha and Doris and started playing with his teacup.
“That woman is Doris, isn’t she? What a well-known beauty! As expected of her, I finally know where Gu Lingsha inherited her beauty from! Gu Qiwu is pretty good-looking himself. It’s no wonder they have such a beautiful daughter with their genes combined. However, Gu Lingsha is still a level below her mother. After all, Doris is a true noble. What do you think?”
Zhou Zimo took a sip of his tea and enjoyed the view of the two women walking by.
“I noticed that you really like to comment on women lately. So, are their standards enough for you?” Mu Yuchen gave him a mysterious grin while his eyes looked a little creepy as well.
“I’m just saying what I feel. Their beauty is obvious, but they aren’t as simple inside as their appearance on the outside.” Doris and Gu Lingsha arrived at their room just as Zhou Zimo spoke.
“To be honest, if you actually married a wily person like Gu Lingsha back then, I wonder if the Mu family would get better or if she would’ve ruined them. Look at the Qi family now. Qi Qiming and Wang Qin are at war every day. You should know about this better than me.” Zhou Zimo gave Mu Yuchen a meaningful glance as he laughed nervously.
Mu Yuchen leaned his back against the chair and said, “Do you think she’s worthy? Do I look like a man who needs a woman to help him?” His voice sounded stiff as he took another sip of his tea before he continued, “I’m not interested in her. Moreover, I don’t like women like her that assume she’s smarter than everyone. Even if we really got married, I’d just leave her aside and keep her under control.”
Zhou Zimo nodded. “That does sound like what you’d do, but you’re lucky. Xi Xiaye is so much better than her.”
Mu Yuchen understood Zhou Zimo’s hint, so he smiled.
“Don’t compare her to Xiaye. They’re not on the same level. I wouldn’t be so worried about Xiaye if her mental fortitude was half as strong as hers.”
Zhou Zimo seemed interested as he grinned. “It’s a good sign that you’re liking your woman more and more. I’m sure the two of you will stay together forever.”
Mu Yuchen just smiled and did not reply. Meanwhile, his gaze was fixed on the auction stand at the bottom.
The auctioneer was prepared when they were talking, and the auction officially started when the bell rang!
“Be alert,” Ah Bao gave his orders as he buckled himself up. He was staring at the auction stand intently.
The auctioneer was a middle-aged man wearing a suit.
“Ladies and gentlemen, good evening! Thank you for attending our auction tonight. As usual, there will be 15 items up for bidding this time. The rules are the same as before. With that, I hereby announce that the auction has officially begun!”
The crowd gave a round of applause following the auctioneer’s opening speech. The applause died down after several seconds.
“Thank you! Please be quiet now. Let’s take a look at our first item tonight.”
The lights in the hall suddenly dimmed, leaving only the wall lights and the spotlights on the auction stand. The lady presenter pressed a button in the middle of the stage, and an exhibition case slowly rose from the floor. Inside the transparent glass was a Buddhist bead bracelet that was magnified on the huge screen in the back.
Roughly 80 exquisitely-crafted light-colored beads were threaded into a refined bracelet.
The auctioneer started introducing the bracelet while Mu Yuchen and Zhou Zimo traded glances at each other.
“Is this bracelet that rare? It’s not like it’s diamond or anything.” Zhou Zimo was in doubt.
“Would you think that it was rare if I told you it’s a Chen Xiang Buddhist bracelet?”
