Chapter 62: Diamond Banquet (Part 2)

Views:

Could this be the party Xu Jin was going to attend? Zheng Yubai was increasingly unable to guess the true identities of Xu Jin and Yu Luo, and this mystery would probably haunt him for a long time.

Since he found the woman who looked like Xu Jin, Zheng Yubai has been a little absent-minded. When Yao Qian, as the host, unveiled the three booths, Ding Beibei and many other ladies couldn't hide their excitement and screamed loudly. Zheng Yubai didn't pay attention to the dazzling jewels, but was looking for the location of "Xu Jin".

When "Xu Jin" appeared in Zheng Yubai's sight again, the first thing that caught Zheng Yubai's eyes was the face of "Catwoman" on her face.

"Xu Jin" was observing the jewelry as if nothing had happened like other women. However, unlike Ding Beibei next to Zheng Yubai who was almost fascinated by the jewelry, she looked around from time to time, as if avoiding or looking for something.

Zheng Yubai quietly hid in the crowd, his eyes never leaving her. Fortunately, everyone was wearing masks and admiring the jewelry, so no one would notice his weirdness.

"Xu Jin" was similar to Zheng Yubai, and was probably hiding something in the most crowded place. Zheng Yubai's eyes were sharp, and although he was far away, he seemed to see that the shape of her right hand was a little strange, as if she was hiding something in her hand.

"Look, look, this is the bird on the stone." Zheng Yubai was staring at "Xu Jin" when Ding Beibei suddenly pulled his arm and pointed at a huge yellow diamond in the thick glass cover.

Zheng Yubai had no choice but to look over and saw that the diamond was sparkling with a beautiful light yellow luster, reflecting brilliant light under the glare of the light.

"It's really beautiful. It should be very expensive." Zheng Yubai asked.

"It's more than just expensive..." Ding Beibei said with some regret, "This is the treasure of Tiffany's store, a priceless treasure that will not be sold without an appraisal. Even if you have a lot of money, you can't buy it."

Zheng Yubai scratched his head: "What if we acquire Tiffany's company?"

Although he couldn't see Ding Beibei's expression, Zheng Yubai was still shocked when he saw her put her finger to her lips and pretended to think. Although he didn't know how much money Ding Beibei's family had, they must be wealthy. If Ding Beibei really planned to acquire Tiffany because of a casual remark of his, then this would be a big joke.

Fortunately, Ding Beibei muttered, "It seems to cost a lot of money, Dad will definitely not agree." This made Zheng Yubai's heart fall back into his stomach.

Ding Beibei went to look at Cartier jewelry again. Zheng Yubai turned around to look at "Xu Jin" again, but found that she was gone.

"Where's the person?" Zheng Yubai looked around curiously, but could not find any trace of "Xu Jin". Instead, he saw Murong Ping approaching Yao Qian with a nervous look on his face and whispering something to him.

The mask obscured Yao Qian's expression, but his movements showed his reaction clearly. Yao Qian immediately said hello to the people around him and left with Murong Ping. Zheng Yubai didn't know what happened, but he intuitively thought that all this was related to "Xu Jin". The development of the matter became more and more bizarre. Zheng Yubai felt as if he was in a thick fog. If he wanted to get through the fog and see the truth of the matter, it seemed that he had to move forward.

Zheng Yubai was a little disappointed by the disappearance of "Xu Jin". After he confirmed that the other party would not appear again, he returned to Ding Beibei's side.

Ding Beibei pointed at a piece of jewelry and told Zheng Yubai about its origins. One was the Duchess of Windsor's favorite sapphire panther brooch, another was a giant diamond ring made by India to help PATIALA, and there was also the crown of King George V of England. Zheng Yubai was full of praise, but what he praised was not the expensiveness and luxury of these treasures, but Ding Beibei's ability to list them all.

Ding Beibei on the university campus was not like this. Zheng Yubai was a little confused. He couldn't tell which one was her true self, the elegant and graceful Ding Beibei on the campus or the graceful and elegant Ding Beibei in front of him.

In fact, Zheng Yubai didn't know that women are often two-sided. When needed, they will quickly enter a new role and their ability to adapt is much stronger than men.

The exhibition lasted until after ten o'clock in the evening. Zheng Yubai noticed that Yao Qian came back halfway through, and he was followed by Murong Ping and V. Yao Qian sat alone at a small table in the corner, and V stood behind him. Murong Ping shuttled among the crowd, seemingly chatting with some guests casually, and then brought them to Yao Qian's table.

In the crowd, many people, like Zheng Yubai, secretly watched Yao Qian's actions. However, Yao Qian seemed to deliberately make everything public. He warmly hugged and shook hands with everyone he talked to, whispered, and even made a few gestures that Zheng Yubai didn't understand. And every time he made a gesture, Zheng Yubai could see that several people in the crowd quickly wrote something in a small notebook.

"Who are these people?" Although what Yao Qian was doing had nothing to do with him, Zheng Yubai was still very curious. He looked at the men who were talking to Yao Qian, and then noticed a few people in the crowd who were nervously peeking at Yao Qian. He immediately discovered that these people had one thing in common: they all had a silver flower pinned on their chests.

"Beibei, why do some people wear flowers on their chests?" Zheng Yubai pretended to ask Ding Beibei casually.

Ding Beibei took a look and said, "That seems to be the logo of some club. I heard my father talk about it... Yeah, I remember it now. It's the emblem of the World Collectors Association."

So that's how it is, Zheng Yubai understood. Since Yao Qian was meeting with collectors who came to Jinghai to buy the Qingming Shanghe Tu, he already had the answer in his mind.

Yao Qian's meeting with these collectors could only be for two reasons. The only question was, was he talking to these people about tomorrow's God of Gamblers competition or the stolen Along the River During the Qingming Festival

At this time, Zheng Yubai was a little envious of Bianjie's super hearing. It would be great if he had super powers like Bianjie, so that he could hear what Yao Qian said from a distance.

However, no matter what Yao Qian did, as long as it was not directed at him, it seemed that he should not be overly worried. Since Zheng Yubai had already confirmed this, he did not think about it any more. He accompanied Ding Beibei to appreciate the jewelry, and after gaining some insights into the so-called luxurious taste of the upper class, he finally waited until the exhibition ended at eleven o'clock.

A luxurious black car was waiting for Ding Beibei at the entrance of the Palace Hotel. A driver was watching from the side. Ding Beibei wanted to say something, but hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Zheng Yubai asked.

"Nothing. Remember to listen to the text messages later." Ding Beibei smiled mysteriously, waved to Zheng Yubai and got into the car.

"He really is a child from a wealthy family." Zheng Yubai scratched his head as he watched the car go away.

A moment later, the text message alert sounded on the mobile phone. Zheng Yubai opened it and saw that it was from Ding Beibei.

"Thank you for accompanying me today. I hope you have a good dream tonight." (To be continued)
