Chapter 871: Chapter 871

"Oh, I need to make a trip back to Qingning City in a few days."

Gu Yelin paused with his chopsticks and asked in a low voice, "What for?"

"In a few days there’s the graduation exam, I’m going to cheer on a friend," An Yiqing said while eating.

"The Xia Hao you mentioned before?"

An Yiqing nodded, "Mhm, that’s him. Haozi’s graduation exam is coming up, and I promised him I’d be there to support him."

"By yourself?" Gu Yelin looked a bit concerned. "Shall I accompany you?"

"Mhm, that sounds good."

Having decided on the trip to Qingning City, the two of them didn’t say much more. They ate alternately, sweetly finishing the food in no time.

The next day, the gossip about Old Master Bai’s grand 80th birthday spread fast. The face-off at the banquet between An Yiqing and Gu Siyi, two top heiresses, was vividly talked about. The Jade Plate of the Jade Spirit she gifted to Old Master Bai was like a bombshell that left everyone astounded.

At that, the women who had been waiting to see An Yiqing make a fool of herself were dumbfounded. Even Gu Siyi, previously known as the First Miss of Xuandu City, was defeated by her hands. Does that not make her invincible?

Others within the social circles, who were more observant, saw something even more profound.

An Yiqing’s gift to Old Master Bai, a Jade Plate worth at least several billion Xuanjin Currency, where on earth did she find such a treasure?

Many had been present at the previous Xuandu Jade Stone Conference and had witnessed An Yiqing unveil the Jade Spirit, as well as auction off all the jewelry made from it at the Yuyuanzhai exhibition. So, where did the huge chunk of Jade Spirit from last night come from? Could it be that Jade Spirits are now as common as cabbages?

To get to the bottom of this, everyone flocked to Yuyuanzhai, trying to uncover the root of the Jade Spirit mystery, inadvertently giving the establishment another burst of popularity.

This was something An Yiqing had not anticipated.

On the weekend, the day before heading to Qingning City, Gu Tingting and Ruan Xue invited An Yiqing out to a cafe for a gathering.

"What’s with you two today? Why so silent when out for fun? Is something bothering you?" An Yiqing asked as she looked at Gu Tingting and Ruan Xue who were sitting across the table, lost in their thoughts.

"Uh... no, nothing..." Gu Tingting’s gaze darted around, avoiding An Yiqing’s eyes.

Annoyed, An Yiqing’s mouth twitched, and she put her hand to her forehead, "Tingting, with the way you are right now, you might as well have ’I have something on my mind’ written on your forehead. What’s going on? If you don’t tell me, I’m leaving!"

Gu Tingting’s face turned red, she opened her mouth but couldn’t quite articulate her words.

Ruan Xue, frustrated with Gu Tingting’s hesitant demeanor, rolled her eyes so hard they started to hurt, and slammed the table, drawing astonished looks from others in the cafe, "I can’t take this anymore! It’s just your first crush, what’s there to be embarrassed about?!"

"First crush?!" An Yiqing immediately caught on to the key point and widened her eyes at Gu Tingting, "You have someone you like?!"

Feeling the amused glances of the cafe-goers, Gu Tingting quickly hid her burning face behind a cushion on the chair.

"Ruan Xue you jerk, you’ve made a mess of me!"

Ruan Xue flipped Gu Tingting an annoyed look, plainly disappointed, and said, "Look at you, all flustered and spineless, still having feelings for someone? Gu Tingting, don’t tell me you’re planning on the unrequited love route, that naive stuff isn’t for you! Confess, get him drunk, knock him down, that’s the way of the great women of the new century! I’m warning you, spill your guts to Xiao Qing quickly. This opportunity won’t come again. Tomorrow is a good chance; if you don’t take it and someone else snatches away your crush, don’t come crying to
