Chapter 484 The Masked Good Girl Mistakenly Flirts with the Playboy Man 48
Louis' face was livid, and he took heavy steps. Every step seemed to vent his inner anger, and the floor under his feet seemed to tremble slightly under his footsteps. The moment he turned around, a strong murderous intent burst out in his eyes.
Seeing this, the assistant quickly walked to Ji Yanru's side and said excitedly, "Boss Ji, seeing Louis's angry and helpless expression is so refreshing! Master Yan is right, these foreign devils are bullies who only fear the strong and bully the weak!"
Ji Yanru was not as relaxed as her assistant. She watched Louis leave the auction venue step by step with his fake enamel lotus-patterned bowl. She frowned slightly and followed Louis's departing back with her eyes, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.
Louis's compromise came too suddenly, and she always felt that there was something else behind it. Perhaps only Xie Yanci knew the answer to this matter, but he obviously didn't intend to tell her.
Xie Yanci knew about this, of course. Louis didn't dare let the news that this enameled bowl with lotus pattern was a fake get out, otherwise their plan would be completely ruined.
"Let's go and take a look at the auction of jadeite raw stones first." Ji Yanru couldn't figure out what was going on, so she had to collect her thoughts and instructed her assistant in a calm tone but with a hint of urgency.
What Ji Yanru was most concerned about today was the auction of jadeite rough stones. She had already made up her mind that no matter which rough stone Xie Yanci and Lin Yi took a fancy to, she would buy it at any price.
The Ji family's high-end jade and jade stocks were already stretched to the limit, so Ji Yanru took great pains to get ten pieces of excellent jade rough stones from Myanmar. Unfortunately, the other party was only willing to send them for auction and refused to sell them directly.
However, this may not be a bad thing. Ji Yanru was sure that Xie Yanci and Lin Yi had a unique vision and would definitely help her select the best option, which would save a lot of costs.
Ji Yanru came to Xie Yanci and Lin Yi's private room again, with a decent smile on her face, and her tone was respectful but confident: "Master Yan, the fake has been taken away by Louis. Are you satisfied with my handling of the case?"
Xie Yanci still looked indifferent, not even moving his eyes away from the auction table. He simply replied calmly, "As long as you don't use my name to cheat, the rest has nothing to do with me."
Ji Yanru wanted to take this opportunity to chat more with Xie Yanci, but the other party didn't respond at all.
She had no choice but to turn her attention to Lin Yi, still smiling: "Madam, we got to know each other at the auction in City D. Today we have several pieces of jadeite rough stones of excellent quality. If you are interested, why not pick one that you like?"
Hearing this, Lin Yi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile: "What a pity, I'm not in a good mood today and have no intention of participating in the auction. I'm really sorry that I can't show my support to Miss Ji."
Ji Yanru was stunned when she heard this. She had originally planned to borrow the insights of Xie Yanci and Lin Yi to bid for a few jadeite stones and cut them on the spot to build momentum for the Ji family.
But now, one of them was cold as ice, and the other directly stated that he would not participate in the auction, which completely disrupted her plan.
Ji Yanru was anxious in her heart, but she still kept a decent smile on her face: "Since Madam is not in a good mood, how about we have tea and chat? I'll have someone prepare some cakes and send them over."
In fact, Ji Yanru wanted to stay and observe the truth of what the two people said, and at the same time, she also wanted to find a glimmer of hope for herself.
Lin Yi looked at her with a smile, a hint of teasing in her eyes. Ji Yanru's flexible and flexible behavior was indeed admirable, but Lin Yi didn't intend to continue pretending to be confused.
Lin Yi slowly took off the mask on her face, revealing her true face, and looked directly at Ji Yanru: "I'm sure Miss Ji has already guessed our identities, right? Don't pretend to be surprised."
Ji Yanru's pupils suddenly contracted, and the smile on her face froze instantly. She had indeed guessed the identities of the two people long ago, but she never dreamed that Lin Yi would reveal her identity so directly. This time, all her plans were disrupted, and a strong sense of powerlessness surged in her heart.
"When did you know that I saw through your identities?"
Ji Yanru suppressed her panic and spoke with a hint of unwillingness. She actually wanted to know when these two people started to play tricks on her.
"Thank you at Mr. Xie's birthday party."
Lin Yi's answer was brief and cold, but it was like a sharp blade that pierced Ji Yanru's heart. She felt cold all over, as if she had fallen into an ice cave. It turned out that from the beginning, she was the clown who was fooled.
"Don't you think it's too much to play tricks on people like this?" Ji Yanru's face turned red and white, anger and shame intertwined in her eyes, almost bursting out.
Lin Yi, however, remained calm and composed, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone: "Miss Ji, if your intentions were not impure from the beginning, how could I have the opportunity to play tricks on you? This can only be said to be mutual."
This completely angered Ji Yanru. She sneered, with a sharp tone of sarcasm: "Ms. Lin, you are the one who has the least standing to speak here, right? You so blatantly violated common sense and seduced your future uncle. Have you ever thought about how you will gain a foothold in Kyoto after the truth is revealed?"
Hearing this, Xie Yanci's eyes darkened, and he swept his gaze towards Ji Yanru like a knife, his tone cold and dangerous: "Miss Ji, please be careful with your words. You should understand that the mouth can bring disaster."
Ji Yanru did not flinch, and looked directly at Xie Yanci: "Master Xie, you should understand that people's words are scary, right? She is young and mischievous, do you follow her and make trouble?"
Ji Yanru has not given up her plan to thank Yanci until now, especially after seeing the true value of the title of "Master Yan" tonight, she doesn't want to let go even more.
Lin Yi chuckled, with a bit of disdain in her tone: "Ms. Ji, don't put yourself in the position of a victim and blame us. From the beginning, it was you who had ulterior motives and wanted to use us. We were just passively accepting it. If I were you, I should be concerned about finding a professional to judge which jadeite rough stone to take, instead of wasting time here and taking shortcuts."
These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Ji Yanru's heart hard. She felt that all her calculations were exposed nakedly in front of the two of them, like a joke.
Ji Yanru could no longer remain calm. The smile on her face completely disappeared, replaced by a deep sense of humiliation and powerlessness.
Ji Yanru now just wanted to escape from this private room. Today, in front of these two people, her IQ and EQ, which she was proud of, were simply rubbed to the ground. From childhood to adulthood, she had never suffered such humiliation.
"I have learned a lot from Master Xie and Miss Lin's methods. I admit defeat and take my leave!"
Ji Yanru straightened her back, trying to maintain her dignity as she left the room. Her steps were still elegant, but her back was a little embarrassed.
The moment she walked out of the private room, Ji Yanru took a deep breath and tried to calm her inner turmoil. Sooner or later, she would repay the humiliation she suffered today double.
