Chapter 315
"Mucen, you..."
"Hold this for me!"
The man, whose eyes had finally turned thoroughly ghostlike in terror, shoved the broken goblet with a few traces of crimson on it onto the other man’s body and stepped forward.
"Mr. President, don’t you think this is rather inconsiderate of our respective positions?"
"What?"
The man’s distinctively clear and deep voice spread through the air, and the entire banquet fell silent all at once.
Including the couple who had been putting on a necklace in a highly intimate manner, when they heard this, they turned their heads and immediately, all their actions froze.
Oh my God!
How could she forget that he was also there?
Without thinking, she pushed the man who was still very close to her.
The club president also came down, and seeing the president of the Ou Group, recommended by the emissary La Shiwen, coming out of the crowd, his complexion changed slightly, "Why would Mr. Ou say that?"
The more bloodthirsty Ou Mucen was, the more elegantly he smiled, "Because of fairness, Mr. President. You invited five judges this time, and yet you show such favoritism towards the judge responsible for the jadeite, giving such a lavish gift right from the start— it really arouses suspicion."
"Mr. Ou, how can you say that?"
The president, provoked by his words, finally became anxious, "I gave Mr. Lin a gift because I saw it suited him well, what’s there to suspect about that?"
Suited him well?
If he hadn’t mentioned it, it would have been better, but as soon as he did, even the corners of the man’s eyes conveyed irony, and his smile grew deeper!
"Mr. President, you’ve misunderstood me. I’m not blaming you for giving Mr. Lin the gift. I only think that it’s inappropriate to do so at this time. It might lead us exhibitors to misunderstand. If you felt such an affinity, you could have waited until the end of the exhibition to give it, unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless, Mr. President, there is another purpose behind giving this necklace!"
Casually spoken, the expression, just like discussing the most ordinary matter, was so calm there wasn’t a ripple to be seen.
The president’s complexion finally turned pale. Looking around and seeing the guests’ attitudes changing, casting dissatisfied and questioning glances at him, he suddenly turned his gaze to the couple not far away.
Ou Mucen, watching in his eyes, didn’t expose them but just saw a flash of furious embarrassment on the man’s face, and the mockery and derision in his smiling eyes intensified.
Trying to play this game in front of him was still too green!
"Mr. Ou, I don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s just a necklace I gave, how could there be any ulterior motives?" noveldrama
"Really? Then since that’s the case, Mr. President, why are you clueless about the Jade Pendant, while Mr. Lin can expertly handle even its ancient style clasp on touch?"
"..."
Ancient style clasp?
As soon as this was said, the banquet hall erupted once again, and everyone turned to look at the girl’s neck, only to realize that the fine chain indeed had an ancient style clasp, something long vanished from the markets.
Oh my God!
How could this be?
Ye Ning was also shocked by this remark. Reaching out, she touched the back of her neck and saw that the fastening there was indeed an intricate one that she had only seen once or twice before, and her fingers suddenly stiffened there.
