CHAPTER 388: CHAPTER 388 XIAO CHENGER, YOU LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL

Yin Hu was dripping with cold sweat, never expecting Bao Gucheng to come personally.

"Mr. Bo, I..."

"No need for words, from now on, you’ll be cleaning toilets at the camp and wiping bones in the morgue! Reflect properly on whether you’ve lived up to your brothers, is living just to squander and incur debt?!"

Bao Gucheng offered no chance for explanation.

Yin Hu hung his head: "Yes!"

There was no doubt about it; his impulse to gamble today was truly unwise.

It violated discipline and the expectations of his brothers; he deserved to be punished.

It’s just that...

He bit his lip: "Mr. Bo, this jade is really yours, not hers..."

Chen Long covered his face in despair: "..."

Fool, can’t you just keep your mouth shut!

It’s like you died once but insist on sitting up from the coffin, stretching your neck to let the master hack you to death again.

Bao Gucheng suppressed his anger, his gaze cold and stern, his thin lips opening: "It’s hers."

The three words, forceful and concise, sent a shiver through the crowd.

That sentence, of course, had multiple meanings: it could mean the jade originally belonged to Zuzi, or it could mean Bao Gucheng gave it to her.

The truth wasn’t important.

What was important was that Mr. Bo personally endorsed Zuzi’s words.

Whatever she says, goes!

Simply incredible.

Who would’ve thought this iron man could be so unreasonable, so unprincipled, when it comes to being tender to a woman.

Yin Hu’s head drooped again: "Yes!"

Chen Long quickly pulled him away to prevent this guy from acting up again, provoking the master’s anger: "You’re lucky you weren’t sent to Africa to dig mines this time, hurry back to clean the toilets! Wipe the skeletons!"

With Bao Gucheng present, naturally, no one dared to question Zuzi further.

Qiu Guosheng smiled broadly, trying to mediate: "I told you, Miss Xi has an air of nobility, this jade is naturally hers, and the jade is obedient, it only acknowledges her! Since that’s the case, shall we continue the auction?"

Others quickly agreed down the steps: "Alright, alright, let’s continue, continue!"

Oh my, being stared at by that icy gaze of the Living Yama is really unbearable, it doesn’t feel like participating in an auction, more like being at an execution ground.

The auctioneer, gathering the courage, returned on stage to tidy up the scattered scene.

Xi Rubao waved enthusiastically at Bao Gucheng through the crowd, mouthing silently: "Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law!"

Bao Gucheng glanced at her, nodded seriously in response: "Mhm. Hello."

Whoa.

Since Bao Gucheng entered, she’s the first woman he’s paid extra attention to besides Zuzi.

Others only felt Bao Gucheng gave special attention to Xi Rubao, but only Gu Shiyin, who was familiar with lip reading, could see the two silent words coming from Xi Rubao’s mouth—Brother, in-law.

Her previously settled heart tightened again.

Brother-in-law?

This Miss Xi was already making such an impression on Bao Gucheng? Bao Gucheng’s only been in Qingcheng for a few days, what kind of tactics did this woman use to win him over?

Gu Shiyin couldn’t help but softly ask Chu Qiaoen: "Qiao En, didn’t you say Miss Xi likes... Mr. Bai?"

Chu Qiaoen was also baffled and shocked, stunned into not daring to speak loudly by Bao Gucheng: "Aunt, I don’t understand either. On the plane, I think I heard Mr. Gu say she’s some kind of cousin? Does your Gu Family have relatives surnamed Xi? Like distant relatives from the countryside?"

Gu Shiyin shook her head: "I’ve never heard such a thing. Our Gu Family has no such relatives."

Chu Qiaoen said resentfully: "Then she’s pretending! So shameless, bewitching Mr. Bai, and now trying to seduce Mr. Bo, this small-town girl is shameless vixen! I seriously suspect she knows demon art..."

On the other side.

Seeing the auctioneer regain courage and continue.

Zuzi also placed the Jade Pendant back into the glass case.

In the eyes of everyone, she was now a little woman protected by Bao Gucheng.

However.

As she turned to smile at Bao Gucheng, the crowd was collectively stifled by the incredible scene—

"Xiao Chenger, you look really good tonight!"

Little, Little Cheng, er?

Could this one not be an Ancestor?
