Chapter 380: Chapter 380: Thank You, Great God

The two of them started bickering as soon as they met, but it was obvious that they had a good relationship.

Feng Jiao laughed and said, "So you guys are classmates. The world really is small."

He Zizhou nodded, "Since we’re all here, why don’t we stick together?"

"So these are He Ling’s classmates." Tang Xinru walked over, and as the hostess of the day, she greeted the guests with poise. Dressed in a designer gown and with her makeup perfectly done, she stood in stark contrast to Jiang Zhe and Xia Enci in their school uniforms, looking both fashionable and showing extra attention to the event.

Tang Xinru looked Jiang Zhe and Xia Enci up and down and said, "Although today’s event isn’t particularly formal, do you two need to change into something else? I have some long dresses that I’ve never worn..."

"No need," Jiang Zhe replied directly.

He Ling added, "Right, you said the event isn’t that formal, and you didn’t say anything about me wearing a T-shirt. Their outfits are fine, aren’t they?"

"That’s also fine," Tang Xinru didn’t want to argue with He Ling.

However, He Ling seemed to be defending them a bit too much, which made Tang Xinru slightly uncomfortable. She said, "Then He Ling, let’s go inside first. Quite a few friends were asking about you earlier."

"You go ahead, I’ll catch up with you guys in a bit," He Ling said, before turning to Xia Enci, "Why are you wearing a school uniform too? That dress you bought last time was actually pretty nice, you know? Even though it’s ’Diamond Barbie’, the ’diamond’ comes first, but the longer sleeves could cover up the muscles on your arms, right?"

"He Ling, are you looking for trouble?!" Xia Enci reached out to twist He Ling’s mouth.

He Ling blocked her, and Xia Enci, frustrated, elbowed him in the chest.

Jiang Zhe stepped back a bit, scared of them.

Feng Jiao watched with a smile. Youth is beautiful, being young is wonderful.

Tang Xinru watched with displeasure, "He Ling!"

"You go first," He Ling said, preoccupied with messing around with Xia Enci and ignoring Tang Xinru.

Tang Xinru picked up her dress hem and walked inside.

Jiang Zhe walked leisurely toward the venue.

Upon entering, they heard the emcee introducing, "Miss Tang has always enjoyed collecting jade, and many of the jades on display today are gifts she’s received, as well as pieces she’s acquired from around the world. Among them, the highlight is this jade bracelet, which is made of watery glutinous ice type, very translucent.

This bracelet was originally part of a chain bracelet, meaning it was from a single piece of jade, where two bracelets were carved from the same layer and block. The two bracelets complemented each other in color and pattern, and together they are extremely valuable. However, Miss Tang has only acquired one of them."

Someone asked with a laugh, "Is Miss Tang willing to part with this jade bracelet?"

The emcee responded with a laugh, "Of course, she won’t part with it. Miss Tang is still hoping to purchase the other one, but she hasn’t found it yet. To put it in perspective, this bracelet alone is worth tens of millions, but if the pair is together, their value is immeasurable."

Everyone nodded, it really did sound quite impressive.

Xia Enci found the bracelet somewhat familiar and leaned over the glass display case, studying it intently.

Jiang Zhe stood next to her, took a glance, and quickly lost interest, shifting his gaze away.

Xia Enci was still earnestly comparing, but after all, it was an item in a glass display and couldn’t be closely examined in hand, so she could only get a rough look.

He Ling stood beside her, noticing that she had been going back and forth looking at it several times. He guessed she would like it as a birthday gift.

However, he then heard the emcee’s words, stating the bracelet was not for sale.

He Ling was somewhat disappointed, "This one’s not for sale, huh?"

"Why, do you like it?" Tang Xinru had come back at some point and asked in a low voice.

"I do like it, and I originally intended to give it as a birthday gift for a friend, but since you’re not selling, I can’t rob someone of something they love."

Tang Xinru heard he wanted it as a birthday gift for his friend, her eyes darkened: "It’s not for sale, so don’t even think about robbing someone of something they love."

"Why are you getting angry?"

"When did I get angry?" Tang Xinru laughed, maintaining the composure of a well-bred lady, "As for the bracelet, if it’s someone I fancy, giving it to him wouldn’t be an issue. But selling it is out of the question."

After Tang Xinru finished speaking, she glanced sideways, and Xia Enci was looking at the bracelet seriously.

She guessed that He Ling might intend to buy it for Xia Enci, which made her even more displeased.

However, since Xia Enci was both He Ling’s classmate and a guest invited by Feng Jiao, Tang Xinru couldn’t very well snub her completely and had to restrain herself.

Jiang Zhe received a WeChat message, opened it, and saw a request from a stranger to add her as a friend.

The stranger’s name was Yizhihua.

Their friend request was very simple and direct: "Big shot, I need to take something from the event tonight, please show some mercy."

Jiang Zhe hadn’t yet declined when a message from Yang Feiliu came in: "The thief Yizhihua intends to steal a jade bracelet from the event you’re at. He heard you were there and specifically asked for your consent, hoping you’d turn a blind eye. The only question is whether the item he wants is connected to your friend."

In reality, Jiang Zhe, given her personality, wouldn’t have intervened even if she wasn’t informed, as she couldn’t be bothered to take action.

But since Yang Feiliu knew she was there, he had to inform Jiang Zhe, not wanting to accidentally offend her friends.

When Yizhihua contacted her, she casually mentioned it.

"Is something worth tens of millions worth his trouble?" Jiang Zhe asked.

"Yeah, Yizhihua only ever goes for expensive items, not just any item. But if he’s going after it, he must have his reasons. Besides, I heard that if the two jade bracelets are paired together, they are priceless. Someone might have ordered both. The thoughts of the rich are always bizarre."

Jiang Zhe accepted Yizhihua’s friend request and replied with a few simple words: "It’s none of my business."

"Awesome, thank you, big shot," Yizhihua earnestly thanked her on the other side.

Internally he sighed with relief, thankful that someone had given him a heads-up, as offending this big shot would have been troublesome.

He wondered what the big shot looked like, which one of the people at the event she was?

The event was crowded; everyone had their phones out, and Yizhihua couldn’t confirm which one was the legendary big shot.

All he could do was complete his task and leave early, trying not to offend anyone present.

Except for Tang Xinru.

After all, wasn’t she the owner of the bracelet?

Jiang Zhe put away her phone.

Tang Xinru glanced at Xia Enci, then at He Ling, and picked up the microphone to say, "Thank you all for coming to my exhibition. I hope everyone has a good time. Please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality."

After finishing her speech, she continued to entertain the guests.

Suddenly, a sea breeze blew by, causing the boat to sway slightly.

Everyone’s posture shifted with the rocking of the boat, bracing themselves on nearby objects before standing firm again.
