Chapter 295: Chapter 295: Qin Jia’s Conspiracy (3)

An Yiqing stared blankly at Old Master An, feeling a slight acidity in her nose. What virtues or abilities did she possess to engender such affection from Ye Chenghong and An Muyun, two elders! With such family members, she was content!

An Yiqing subtly sniffed her nose and nodded with a smile, "Grandfather, rest assured! I absolutely won’t let myself be wronged!"

...

In the trading hall of the Jade Stone Association, all the guests who had arrived found seats and settled in. There was a large display screen in front of the auction stage, where the results of the bidding would soon be revealed to everyone.

"Little girl, are you confident about this bidding?" Bai Yiming automatically ignored Gu Yelin, the human air cooler, choosing to sit down behind An Yiqing.

"Well, not bad." The girl nodded vaguely. Of course, she wouldn’t tell Bai Yiming that she had memorized all the prices in the bid box—umm, only Ah Lin knew this.

Before long, Duan Tang also walked in. His tranquil gaze landed on An Yiqing, revealing a deep tenderness.

"Girl, you’ve arrived early." He glanced at the spots around An Yiqing that were occupied by Gu Yelin, Bai Yiming, and Zhang Yuksheng, and couldn’t help but frown. His seemingly gentle gaze briefly met Zhang Yuksheng’s eyes with unclear implications.

Zhang Yuksheng felt the seat beside An Yiqing was too perilous; Duan Tang’s gaze gave him a shiver, and he very perceptively stood up.

"Ah... Head Duan, please sit here. I will sit in front of the miss," Zhang Yuksheng swiftly moved to a seat in front of An Yiqing, feigning ignorance.

Duan Tang smiled contentedly and slowly sat down beside the girl.

An Yiqing looked at Duan Tang and Zhang Yuksheng with confusion, truly at a loss as to what the two were up to.

As idle chatter filled the air, the sofas in the entire trading hall were now full. That’s when Guh Siqing walked in leisurely with Guh Siqi, Guh Ruoyao, and Ah Chen.

"Hmph! How pretentious!" Shen Feng, sitting near An Yiqing, couldn’t help but snort coldly upon seeing Guh Siqing’s haughty demeanor.

This time, Shen Long didn’t disagree with Shen Feng’s opinion; he even nodded in agreement.

An Yiqing chuckled softly and looked past Duan Tang to speak to Shen Feng beside her, "Xiao Fong, how has she offended you?"

"She hasn’t offended me!" Shen Feng rolled her eyes and pouted, "But I just can’t stand her self-righteous attitude! She just happened to be born into a good family—is that a reason to look down on others?"

An Yiqing laughed lightly, inwardly giving Shen Feng a thumbs up. Her words made sense; Guh Siqing was just lucky to be born in a good family—without the Guh Family, what would she amount to?

However, after a moment’s thought, An Yiqing still cautioned Shen Feng, "Xiao Fong, you can say these things in private, but don’t let Guh Siqing hear them. She knows ancient martial arts, and you might be at a disadvantage."

"Don’t worry, I will keep a close eye on her." Before Shen Feng could speak, Shen Long hastily interjected.

To the side, Shen Feng rolled her eyes grandly, secretly despising Shen Long for his pretentiousness.

Guh Siqing watched An Yiqing and the others chatting and laughing merrily, her expression inscrutable. An Yiqing, I wonder how long you can keep that smile on your face!

The Guh Family was the last to arrive; with only five minutes left before the proceedings would begin, the trading hall gradually quieted down. Just then, the grand doors to the hall were flung open.

A group of men dressed in black suits entered, exuding a deadly aura, with the leader standing about five-foot-ten, bald, with an ordinary face.
