Chapter 159 - The Auction
Chapter 159: Chapter 159. The Auction
Zhuang Xian shook her head violently, trying to eliminate this terrifying thought!
How could she possibly like Mo Qian? That was impossible! That shouldn’t be! Zhuang Xian denied all of this in her heart.
“Miss? Miss! What’s wrong with you?” The sales assistant asked.
“I’m fine.” Zhuang Xian returned to her senses and smiled.
When Yan Zuo came out of the fitting room, he looked completely different. The exquisitely tailored and elegantly colored suit complimented him!
The saleswoman looked at Yan Zuo in surprise. Very few customers would be able to immediately find a suit that suited them the moment they entered the store. Zhuang Xian had the skills and capability to do so. With one look, she could tell what kind of suit would fit Yan Zuo’s temperament.
“This set is suitable for you, Sir. Your friend has good taste.” The sales assistant praised her sincerely.
Yan Zuo looked at Zhuang Xian, who smiled and nodded at him, making an ‘okay’ gesture. Yan Zuo smiled and said to the sales assistant beside him, “The bill, along with that casual outfit.”
It was the first time the sales assistant had met a customer who paid the bill so quickly, so she laughed even more heartily.
By the time they left Judge’s office, the sky was already covered with dark clouds, and it was getting darker. It looked like it was going to rain again.
Zhuang Xian turned to look at Yan Zuo. “Let’s find a place to eat and discuss how we should carry out our plan for tonight!”
Yan Zuo uncomfortably loosened his tie and nodded in agreement. “Sure, I’ll do as you say.”
The calm autumn wind swept through the streets and alleys, rolling down many fallen leaves. Dark clouds loomed over the sky. Tonight was destined to be another day of unrest.
It was seven O ‘clock in the evening, and it was drizzling. However, outside the Beicheng villa in City H, it was crowded with traffic and people.
Zhuang Xian was holding Yan Zuo’s arm, wearing a beautiful, delicate mask.
Although the Soul Devouring Bureau called this auction on the surface, in reality, it was just a black medicine transaction. Something that could not be shown on the table!
Of course, Zhuang Xian and Yan Zuo weren’t the only two people in the venue who were wearing masks. Everyone who entered the seating area had to wear a mask.
Zhuang Xian and Yan Zuo walked in gracefully under everyone’s gaze. They looked like a couple. The man had a slender and handsome figure, while the woman had a curvy figure. It was as if one could tell she was an exquisite woman just by looking at her back!
When the other people in the venue looked at them, they all felt they were pleasing to the eye.
Zhuang Xian looked at the inner seats on the left and said to Yan Zuo, “Let’s sit over there!”
Zhuang Xian didn’t know that because of what she had said, Mo Xi, standing beside her, had recognized her!
Mo Xi turned to look at Zhuang Xian and Yan Zuo. He was a little surprised, and his eyes widened slightly. He didn’t expect the Zhuang family’s fourth daughter to be here and with a man, he didn’t even know!
Mo Xi followed Zhuang Xian and the man all the way. After they took their seats, he chose a seat behind them.
When he saw that Zhuang Xian was so close to this man, he suddenly felt like an alarm was ringing in his heart for his young master.
Oh my God! Did the young master’s love rival appear? But the young master wasn’t here now; what should he do? Should he invite the young master over?
It was wrong! The most important thing now was to attend the auction and see if there was any news about Saint Valley Medicine or any medicine that could help the young master recover from his old injury!
Thoughts flashed back and forth in Mo Xi’s mind. In the end, he still decided to focus on business. He suppressed his restless heart and quietly waited for the auction to start.
Zhuang Xian sat calmly beside Yan Zuo and looked at the people walking past the venue from time to time. She did see a few familiar figures.
Zhuang Xian leaned slightly on Yan Zuo’s shoulder and said softly, “Senior brother! Look at the four o ‘clock and seven o’clock directions. They’re all old acquaintances in our pharmaceutical industry!”
Yan Zuo looked over and saw who it was. He said coldly, “These people who always talk and shout are always following the lead of our Saint Valley Medicine! This act of pretending to comply but secretly going against it is eye-opening!”
