Miss is really something; she managed to get so much jewelry with just a few words.
She just couldn't understand why her mistress had let the eldest young lady off so easily; it wasn't like her mistress at all.
Qin Xu, on the other side, breathed a sigh of relief; his wallet was safe.
But he still didn't want to give up the opportunity he had worked so hard to get.
"I've heard that the food at Zuixianlou is quite good. I wonder if I, Qin, would have the honor of inviting you two ladies to join me?" He avoided mentioning the jewelry and instead invited the two ladies to dinner.
No matter how much he eats at Zuixianlou, the maximum price he can pay is only the silver for a piece of jewelry, which is not something he can't afford.

Song Zhiyu frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled. This person's eyes were really strange, with an indescribable meaning mixed with a trace of resentment, as if she had done something to offend him.
Song Zhiyu ignored Shen Yanxi and sat down by the window, turning to look downstairs.
The two men in black who had been there earlier had vanished without a trace, as if they had never been there at all.
