Shi Xi took two steps back, completely obscuring Ning Yu from view.
Ning Yu was tall, and she wasn't short either. But since they were both girls, they couldn't compare to those tall and strong men.
Oh well, as long as it's at this exhibition, I can at least make some contact.
The organizers will provide gemstones, and participants will need to observe them and then describe the gemstone's type, origin, and other information.
This single hurdle alone has already stumped a large portion of the participants.
Of course, this was no challenge for Ning Yu and Nan Yi.
Shi Xi breathed a sigh of relief as she watched a large group of people shake their heads and leave.
Thankfully, she didn't go to be a runner-up.
Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing.
"What's your relationship with Sheng Yan?" Hua Hengzhe asked suddenly, standing behind Shi Xi.
Shi Xi turned to look at him. "He's my friend, what's wrong?"
Hua Hengzhe looked at the pink diamond on Shi Xi's ear, then at Chi Yan, and said, "You really have a lot of friends."
Previously, when we celebrated Xie Yunzhou's birthday at the Marriott restaurant, the two of us booked the entire restaurant, which just didn't seem right.
Later, he heard from Hua Xuan that Shi Xi was Sheng Yan's fiancée.
Recently, Shi Xi and Li Jinfan's relationship even became a trending topic on social media.
So, does that mean pretty girls can have many boyfriends?
Hua Hengzhe looked on with envy.
Shi Xi retorted, "So what if I have a lot of friends?"
"It's nothing." Hua Hengzhe looked at the stage and asked, "Do you like that butterfly hair clip?"
Shi Xi: "It's alright."
Hua Hengzhe looked at Shi Xi and couldn't resist wanting to ruffle her hair.
Hold on!
Hua Hengzhe said, "Once Nan Yi wins that diamond hair clip, I'll come over and give it to you."
Shi Xi: ? ? ?
"No need, I think Miss Nan likes it too." Shi Xi gave a polite but slightly awkward smile.
How come there are hardly any normal people in the Hua and Nan families?
She didn't want to get involved with either of those families!
Shi Xi was thinking about how to escape.
Just as I was thinking this, the competition on stage was getting into its best.
Forget it, only a fool wouldn't watch a show like this.
Shi Xi continued looking at the stage, and suddenly her eyes met Ning Yu's.
Shi Xi smiled and winked, then clenched her fist to cheer Ning Yu on.
Ning Yu's gaze lingered on Shi Xi for a moment before returning to the gemstone in front of her.
After several rounds of evaluation, only Ning Yu and Nan Yi remained on the field.
Nan Yi scoffed, "I never expected a country bumpkin like you to know so much about jewelry. Looks like you've done a lot of research to marry into a wealthy family!"
Ning Yu raised her eyes slightly and said lazily, "Since your family is in the jewelry business, you should take care of yourself. If you make a mistake in the appraisal in this kind of setting, it could damage your family's brand reputation."
None of the other jewelers at the exhibition participated in the competition. Firstly, they didn't want to help Shengshi Jewelry gain recognition, and secondly, they were afraid of misjudging its quality.
After all, these small events don't provide professional equipment or allow a long time for evaluation. It all depends on the participants' eyesight, experience, and luck.
"Don't worry, I definitely know more than a country bumpkin like you!" Nan Yi snorted.
Next, another sapphire was presented for the two to appraise.
“This sapphire has a six-rayed star effect, so it should be a star sapphire from Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan sapphires contain the mineral rutile, which causes them to reflect a unique milky white star-shaped light,” Nan Yi said confidently, raising her hand.
The audience applauded and exclaimed, "As expected of Miss Nan Yi, she has a deep knowledge of jewelry and jade!"
Nan Yi smiled slightly and said modestly, "I've only learned a little bit."
Just as she was feeling smug, Ning Yu slowly spoke, her tone slightly nonchalant, and retorted, "This star sapphire is not from Sri Lanka."
