Chapter 474 Gossip
"Oh, based on this resume, he doesn't sound like a fool."
Yun Qimu stroked his chin, his eyes flickered slightly, and his face had a thoughtful look.
She remembered that she had never heard of the youngest Vice President Lan in her previous life, but she did know that the Imperial Research Institute was once destroyed by a genius lunatic.
As for who that genius psychopath was, she had no idea. The case concerning the Imperial Research Institute was a sealed confidential file, and even she did not have the authority to view it after she took that position.
Before she could ponder for long, the second item for auction came on stage.
This time it’s a peach, a pink and tender peach that’s bigger than your head.
Pei Yu cut it open with a knife, and the rich peach fragrance could be smelled by everyone in the first floor hall.
Considering that the price of the grapes in the first auction was so good, Pei Yu was not willing to lose the second round, so he rolled his eyes and thought of cutting a peach on the spot and letting everyone have a taste.
He reported this proposal to his two bosses, Yun Qimu and Wu Xingyu, and quickly got their approval.
It's just a big peach. If it can make the auction price go up a bit, they will naturally be happy.
Pei Yu then cheerfully introduced the deliciousness of the giant peach while deftly cutting it into small pieces slightly larger than a thumbnail with a few snaps, and then had someone send them to everyone participating in the auction to taste.
The box allocated to the Jin brothers and sisters only had twenty small pieces.
The crowd, who had long been tempted by Pei Yu's introduction, pushed and shoved at the door of the box, waiting for the servants to bring up the peach samples so that they could seize the opportunity.
Even though she had personally gone to the Demon Refining Pot to pick peaches, Jin Mingjun, who was not willing to show off her wealth, also joined in the pushing and shoving. She grabbed Magna's arm with one hand and tried to pull Luo Xian with the other hand to get them to squeeze in together.
But Luo Xian avoided her hand, smiled weakly, and said that she was not very interested in Taozi and let them go by themselves.
Magna, who had wanted to squeeze in with her good sister to grab the goods, felt very disappointed after hearing this. She secretly felt that Luo Xian was too gentle, and that Junjun was still a better sister.
So she threw Luo Xian aside and happily followed Jin Mingjun into the crowd like a silly little roe deer, not caring at all about her identity as a noble lady. She fought with the aunties in the vegetable market like crazy and squeezed in with the group of noble young men, not caring about the difference between men and women at all.
Although Patricia behind him also wanted to grab a spot, she was too embarrassed to do something as rude as Jin Mingjun because of her status, upbringing, makeup and dress. She could only watch Jin Mingjun pulling the silly Magna and twisting them happily in the crowd.
Not to mention, such a carefree and fearless look is quite enviable.
Patricia held the cup in her hand, and the smile on her face was filled with loneliness.
"They are so brave that they squeeze in with men. This, this... is not good." Lorena's timid voice sounded in Patricia's ears.
Patricia was stunned for a moment, then her expression softened and she nodded righteously, "Yes, Lorena, you're right. They're truly shameless. No respectable young noble would dare marry them in the future."
The sisters behind her also covered their mouths and giggled, "Patricia is right. As noble ladies, we still have to be respectful. No respectable man would want a woman who casually rubs against men like this. It really brings shame to us noble women."
"Yes, yes, these two are so frivolous and like to look at men. If I marry them in the future, I will have to worry about whether they will cheat on me."
Seeing that their words were getting more and more unpleasant, Luo Xian's elegant brows were slightly frowned, and a bit of difficulty appeared on her face.
But what was she worried about? She took a step and then slowly retracted it. She simply turned her head and closed her supernatural powers, thinking that out of sight, out of mind.
Jin Mingjin glanced at her from a distance, then retracted her gaze and walked over to Patricia and the others. A gentle smile still graced her face, but her voice was cold and tinged with anger. "As noble ladies, is your family's upbringing meant to teach you to gossip behind people's backs?"
After hearing what such an outstanding earl said, the noble ladies who originally had some admiration for him immediately blushed and shut up.
Even Patricia's face was flushed, and she glared at Jin Mingjin with her beautiful eyes.
The second young master of Earl Jin's family looks good, but why is he as disgusting as that woman in Jin Mingjun? The sisters are just talking about some private matters, is there any need to mock their upbringing?
"I got it, second brother, do you want to try this peach?"
Jin Mingjun's laughing voice was heard. She and Magna each held a toothpick with a fragrant peach on it, and came back happily.
They squeezed in without hesitation, but the noble young masters had to be cautious, especially since Jin Mingjun was known as a tomboy. They didn't dare to take advantage of her, so they could only give in a little, allowing the two young ladies to successfully get two of the sample peaches.
When Jin Mingjin saw her smiling face, the anger and coldness in his eyes quickly disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face. "You lost your reputation to get it, so eat it yourself."
"Hmm?" Jin Mingjun was a little confused, blinking at her second brother. "What kind of reputation?"
Jin Mingjin glanced at the sisters who looked like quails with an embarrassed look on their faces. He chuckled softly and said, "It's nothing. It's resolved now. I believe they have learned the shame of gossiping behind people's backs."
"Oh——" Jin Mingjun glanced in the direction his second brother was looking and suddenly realized.
It's that green tea girl Lorena and that big fool Patricia again. Tsk, it's no surprise that they say bad things about her behind her back. It would be strange if they didn't say anything bad about her.
After taking a look, Jin Mingjun didn't take it seriously. He just stuffed the peach on the toothpick, which was not even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth, into his mouth.
It’s so sweet, and the fruity fragrance is so strong that it whets your appetite immediately, and you want to eat more.
Jin Mingjun smacked her lips and suddenly missed the big, pink and beautiful peach she had hidden at home. It must taste better than this one.
"Junjun, I find that you are becoming more and more magnanimous." Magna also smacked her lips and looked at Jin Mingjun's face with her big eyes.
In the past, Junjun would definitely challenge Patricia and the others and have a fight on the arena, but now he just ignored them as if nothing happened. This is too calm and so unlike Junjun. What happened to Junjun when she went out some time ago?
