Ten minutes later, Zhong Jiuyue pushed open the door at the last second at 5: 59 pm.
Of course, it wasn't her who pushed open the door, but the man beside her who was about 37 or 38 years old.
Zhong Jiuyue was dressed appropriately. Ellie Sabot's black lace gown had always been called gorgeous by this brand. It was made of silk, sparkling satin, pearlescent material, chiffon with unique patterns, silver tassels, and delicate embroidery …
All of this was gorgeous as Zhong Jiuyue walked, filled with elegant and dreamy colors.
Zhong Jiuyue's fiery red lips and black retro curly hair, wearing a Bulgari diamond necklace and earrings, made her look even more noble and elegant.
As the saying goes, clothes make the man. Ellie Sabot's gown had a great texture to it.
Many celebrities wore this brand when they attended high-class events. Li Daran wore this brand's pleated dress, Liu Yifei wore this brand's orange fairy dress, and Fan Xian wore this brand's blue deep V-neck dress, nude floral dress, purple fairy dress, volcanic eruption dress... they had several sets of this brand's dresses.
Of course, there were also celebrities who were on the news because they wore this brand's knockoffs.
Zhong Jiuyue's black lace gown had the aura of a goddess.
When she appeared, not only was Lai Wen stunned, even Xu Yun was a bit stunned. He had never heard of such a beautiful woman in Yanjing.
Although Zhong Jiuyue was at least 30 years old, her temperament, this feeling, it was definitely not comparable to a normal young lady.
Zhong Jiuyue's face was beautiful and smooth. With this temperament of her clothes, she was simply perfect.
"Boss Lai, long time no see." Zhong Jiuyue said faintly.
Lai Wen finally came back to his senses. "Miss Zhong, we really haven't seen each other for a long time. Aiya … Miss Zhong Jiuyue is so much prettier than before."
"Boss Lai really knows how to joke." Zhong Jiuyue smiled, and the man beside her immediately pulled out the chair.
Zhong Jiu Yue sat down, and the man stood behind her. He was expressionless the whole time and didn't say a word.
At this time, Xu Yun realized that he should also stand up and stand behind Lai Wen. This way, Lai Wen's aura wouldn't lose too much.
However, it was already too late. If Xu Yun stood up at this time, not only would he not be able to make up for the situation, he would also lose face.
Lai Wen also knew this, so he immediately raised Xu Yun's status. "Miss Zhong, let me introduce you first. This is my younger brother, Xu Yun."
Zhong Jiu Yue glanced at Xu Yun and felt that he looked familiar, but he only glanced at him and nodded slightly.
"Brother, this is the Zhong family's Miss Zhong Jiu Yue that I often mention to you. Say hello to Miss Zhong." Lai Wen introduced.
Since Zhong Jiu Yue was so polite, Xu Yun naturally wouldn't fall behind. He nodded indifferently and took it as a greeting.
This reaction not only surprised Jiu Yue, even Lai Wen did not dare to treat Jiu Yue like this. This time, Lai Wen was a little confused.
However, Xu Yun still quickly made another reaction. "Seeing is believing. Miss Zhong's temperament is really extraordinary."
When Xu Yun had the action just now, Jiu Yue did not have the previous contempt for him and said, "Mr. Xu, you flatter me."
"This is the truth," Xu Yun said.
Lai Wen instantly looked at Xu Yun in a new light. This kid is really good. In layman's terms, he can be in the hall and in the kitchen.
Whether it was with such a person with such a strong aura in this high-end place, or with those bumpkins in Africa, Xu Yun could handle it.
Jiu Yue Yue smiled slightly and turned her gaze to Lai Wen. "Boss Lai, I can't wait for that thing."
"Hahaha, Miss Zhong is too impatient." Lai Wen said lightly, "Since it's here, the thing naturally can't fly away. Let's eat first. Come, Miss Zhong, I know you like to eat here. Just order whatever you want to eat. "
"Boss Lai should be very clear in your heart that the purpose of my coming here today is not to eat." Jiu Yue Yue smiled again. "Boss Lai, let's not waste time. If I can't see anything, I won't have the appetite to eat at all."
Lai Wen's smile was a little awkward.
Jiu Yue Yue Yue's straightforwardness made him feel that something was wrong.
"Miss Zhong is right." Xu Yun actually spoke for Jiu Yue Yue Yue. "It's true that you should look at the thing you like first. Otherwise, this meal will be really awkward."
Lai Wen didn't understand what Xu Yun meant, but since they had already said it out loud, he couldn't be awkward anymore.
"Well, since Miss Zhong is so interested, I'll let Miss Zhong see something first." Lai Wen finished speaking and took out a small wooden box that he carried with him.
Obviously, this thing was very precious. He was not willing to let Xu Yun hold it for him.
Lai Wen put the small box on the table and slowly opened it.
The thumb ring appeared in front of Jiu Yue Yue.
Blood Seeping Jade thumb ring! In layman's terms, it was blood jade.
This thing had a history. It was not taken from the finger of an ordinary person. Perhaps only people at the imperial level could be buried with this kind of treasure.
Legend said that blood jade was very evil. It referred to jade that was soaked in blood, not a kind of natural jade. Whether it was jadeite, hetian jade, or topaz, as long as it was soaked in blood, it was blood jade.
Actually, that was not the case.
In fact, blood jade was not an exact term. In the jade industry and antique industry, no one would say the word blood jade.
In ancient jade, some jade would appear red after being buried in the soil, so some people called this kind of red blood seeping out.
Qing dynasty ancient jade collectors called this kind of red blood seeping out of ancient jade blood seeping into the jade. They believed that blood seeping out of corpses was formed by the blood seeping into the jade.
But this statement was unscientific. According to modern scientific tests and experiments, blood would quickly be carbonized underground. It would not seep into the hard jade body like inorganic substances.
The red blood seeping out of ancient jade was due to iron in the soil or iron in the burial goods being oxidized and decomposed into the jade body.
Commonly seen blood seeping out of the soil was dark red or reddish-brown, which was caused by iron.
However, this Blood Seeping Jade Ring was not dark red or reddish-brown, but a very bright red.
Obviously, this was an extremely rare Blood Seeping Jade!
"Boss Lai, such a high quality item … It can't be made by a machine, right?" Although Zhong Jiu Yue said this, she knew that Lai Wen was an expert and would not do such a low-level thing.
Lai Wen knew what Zhong Jiu Yue Yue meant. He directly picked up the jade, placed it on the table, and turned it over.
Zhong Jiu Yue Yue took the Blood Seeping Jade Ring in her hand, and her expression began to change slightly.
The man beside her took out some high-tech equipment. Zhong Jiu Yue Yue inspected it and became more and more surprised.
This was definitely a high quality item. If people in the antique industry got their hands on this kind of thing, no one would sell it because it was too rare.
So Zhong Jiu Yue Yue did not understand why Lai Wen would sell it. This was not the style of a normal person.
Moreover, Lai Wen was not the kind of person who was in dire straits. His current status was high. Selling this kind of rare plaything was really puzzling.
"Miss Zhong, how is it? Is this thing pleasing to your eyes?" Lai Wen smiled faintly, "This isn't trash made from low-quality jade contaminated with chemical coloring agents. That kind of jade isn't bright red. It's dull and average on the surface of the jade. It has no value at all. I don't dare to show it to Miss Zhong to have a look!"
