Chapter 99 - 99: Protecting Her



In the private room, Elder Sun and Professor Wen were still focused on dissing each other, as if they did not think much of Gu Shiyan’s money-burning behavior.

Gu Shiyan’s expression remained the same. He was about to raise his hand and press the button to increase the price again when his hand was suddenly grabbed by someone, preventing him from pressing it.

Lowering his head, he saw a slender and fair hand grabbing him.

He looked up at Lu Miao.” What’s wrong?

Lu Miao did not know why, but she could see a trace of grievance in Mr Gu’s deep eyes, as if he was not allowed to spend money to buy things.

She changed her words.” I already have a bracelet. I don’t like that jade bracelet.

I like this one more.”

Her jade-like fingertips tapping on the list of items beside her.

Gu Shiyan looked at the silver-white bracelet on Lu Miao’s wrist. He could not tell what material it was made of, but Lu Miao seemed to treasure it very much and had always worn it.

He looked down at her fingertips and saw a white jade pendant with two butterflies.

It was not as good as the jade bracelet, but it was not bad either.

He nodded.” Alright.’

“Don’t light the lanterns again.”

“Alright.’

Professor Wen and Elder Sun, who were forced to watch their lovely interactions, were speechless.

Please spare the old folks, alright?Can’t wait to turn this lovely scene off!

The host downstairs shouted three times and dropped the wooden hammer in her hand at the price of 2 billion.

At the same time, from nearby room number 9, the sound of a vase and teacup shattering suddenly echoed.

A barely perceptible smile tugged at the corner of Luo Miao’s lips.

Once the price of 2 billion was announced as the highest bid, the rest of the auction seemed dull and uninspiring.

In reality, the price of 2 billion far exceeded the value of the jade bracelet, but the person who fell into the trap made it worth it.

The auction quickly came to an end.

The staff of the auction house personally delivered the items they had bid for.

Gu Shiyan took out a black card and paid.

The pair of butterfly jade pendants were only worth a few million, and Gu Shiyun was dissatisfied with the price, as if he was about to bid for all the jade items in the venue.

Helpless, Luo Miao casually pointed out a few unattractive and inconspicuous pieces of jadeite stones before he could win the bid. Not many people understood these things, and most of it was a gamble.

It was common for people to spend tens of millions of dollars to buy a piece of waste rock.

Since Lu Miao wanted it, Gu Shiyan did not care if those stones were worth it. This was the first time Lu Miao had asked him for something, so he bought it without hesitation.

A service staff came in and asked Gu Shiyan if he wanted to cut the raw stone open on the spot.

Gu Shiyan turned to look at Lu Miao.

There were a total of six stones, and Lu Miao pointed to four of the bigger ones.

One was an exquisite top-grade green, another was a top-quality glassy variety, and the remaining two, although slightly impure, were still quite good.

There wasn’t a single empty stone!

This level of accuracy was something even the veteran big shots in the rough stone industry couldn’t achieve after years of immersion.

Moreover, the value of just that exquisite top-grade green stone alone exceeded the purchase price by tens of times!

Gu Shiyun had won big in this auction!

As soon as the rough stones were cut open, someone immediately approached the service staff members, inquiring if they could buy the stones.

The price was negotiable.

Lu Miao rejected her directly and said to Gu Shiyan,

“Jade nourishes people. Take the exquisite green and glassy variety back and have someone make two sets of jewelry for Aunt Shen. The remaining scraps can be made into some safety charms or similar items for Jinxi and Auntie Xiu.” Gu Shiyan nodded and his gaze still fixed on her.

Lu Miao paused for a moment., “The other two pieces have average jade quality. Find a skilled sculptor to carve two qilins and place them in the southeast corner of the Gu family’s living room for home protection.” Gu Shiyan was still staring.

Lu Miao picked up the two pieces that he had not cut open and gave them to Professor Wen and Elder Sun.” These two are Medicinal King Stones. They aren’t valuable, but they can be used medicinally. I have no use for them personally, and I hope you don’t mind taking them.”

The two old men didn’t expect to receive a share, and they were so happy that they couldn’t contain themselves. They quickly reached out to take the stones.

“We don’t mind at all, not at all.”

Then the two of them started arguing again, this time about which stone was bigger and who should have which piece.

Gu Shiyan continued to look at Lu Miao.

Lu Miao blinked her eyes. There was nothing else. The six pieces had all been distributed.

She wondered if it was her imagination, but she seemed to detect a hint of… resentment in Mr. Gu’s eyes?

After thinking for a moment, she hesitantly handed him the pair of butterfly jade pendants.

“This… for you?”

Mr Gu looked satisfied, accepting them into his hands. Finally, he stopped staring.

Lu Miao was speechless.

So, was he not happy because she had given something to someone else before giving it to him?

When did the powerful and elegant Second Mr Gu become so childish?

Elder Sun and Professor Wen finally finished fighting over the ownership of the Medicine King Stone. Although they didn’t get the tiger bone this time, they were in a good mood.

The more they looked at Lu Miao, the happier they felt. She was a well-behaved and capable young girl who also cared for the elderly. Who wouldn’t want such a disciple?

“The last time we went to the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant, it felt pretty good.” Elder Sun said with a smile.

Professor Wen rolled his eyes at him and was about to speak.

But before he could, the door of the private box was forcefully kicked open from the outside.

Without even glancing, the person who rushed into the room immediately started cursing angrily.

“What the f*ck! I want to see who the hell has the balls to intentionally inflate the bracelet price to 200 million and scam me!”

Lu Miao raised his eyebrows and said bluntly,” The one who strikes first is the cheapest! Mr. Jin, you were the one who followed us and reserved the box, trying to raise the price to scam us. The 200 million bid was your own doing. If you keep talking like this, I can sue you for spreading rumors and slander.”

That’s right, the guest in room 9 was Jin Chen!

She had already figured it out when he lit the Sky Lantern.

That’s why she allowed Gu Shiyun to freely increase the bid at the beginning and stopped him at the last moment.

Protecting her own people was her top priority.

Wanted to scam the people around her? Dream on!

However, even she herself didn’t realize that Gu Shiyan had already been placed in the category of her own people.

This was the first time Gu Shiyan had seen Luo Miao so sharp-tongued and assertive, showing her true colors.

The little girl’s thin body blocked in front of him, charging forward to protect him.

For so many years, he had been the pillar of the Gu family, protecting his mother, younger siblings, and everything in the family.

He had long been used to bearing all the responsibilities himself. This was the first time someone stood in front of him.

The feeling of being protected by others seemed pretty good.

Jin Chen was furious and enraged. He believed that they had deliberately set him up, making him think they would definitely buy the item, then engaging in a bidding war with him, only to back out and leave him with the bill.

With a gnashing of his teeth, he glared at Lu Miao and said, “It was you who tricked me, right? Knowing my identity, yet daring to intentionally deceive me.

I think you’re tired of living!”

He was used to being domineering in the capital city and had never suffered such a big loss before.

He approached her, raising his hand as if he was about to attack..
