Even more media reporters had gathered around the jade display case, and they were furiously snapping photos of something at the moment. “Miss Yao Peipei, may I ask if the jewelry you’re wearing was purchased here today?” “Of course, I came here specifically because of the Ouyang family’s promotion. They announced that their new brand Yuzhirun would launch many new products on their opening day with attractive prices and fresh styles. That’s the reason I came, but what a disappointment I’ve had!” “…” The woman standing amid the media, dressed in an extremely cool strappy off-the-shoulder outfit, her finely featured face framed by voluminous golden waves and concealed behind a pair of sunglasses, simply stood there, her long legs and tempting curves already eliciting screams from the onlookers. This was none other than the hottest film and television star of the moment, Yao Peipei. Secretary Gao looked at the scene with a flash of anger in his eyes, turned to two NGTC appraisers beside him, and said, “Go take a look; President Ouyang is watching from the surveillance room above this jewelry store.” “Understood, rest assured, the items purchased by you three young masters have been professionally appraised by us at the NGTC. We know exactly what their quality is like,” replied the two appraisers, immediately moving to action. “Make way, make way, the jewelry appraisers are here, step aside!” “…” The appraisers are coming? Is the young master Ouyang finally responding to this incident? Seeing these two appraisers appear, the crowd in the store immediately started bustling, and the media raised their cameras, taking rapid snaps of the two as they approached. However, when they saw the badges the two were wearing, everyone was stunned! NGTC? Isn’t that the National Gemstone Testing Center, the authoritative national institution? The Ouyang family actually invited them over this time?!! For a moment, everyone’s gaze was fixed on the two appraisers, and they stood frozen, including the woman who had been interviewed by them just before. The NGTC is not just any institution; it represents the highest national authority. The items they appraise are generally considered to be the most authentic. noveldrama Whether real or fake, once they have come to a conclusion, it is beyond doubt. The shop quieted down, and even the woman named Yao Peipei stopped her flirtatious posturing and focused on the two appraisers approaching. NGTC gem appraisers? How did they get involved? For a moment, her complexion subtly shifted… In the café, Qiao Feiyu, who was observing the scene with a pair of binoculars, laughed, “Ningning, that little star seems scared, doesn’t she?” Really? Ye Ning, who was fixing a milk tea for her son, glanced down at the bustling jewelry store below when she heard this. Indeed, her expression was somewhat unnatural. However, when Ye Ning’s gaze drifted to something outside, suddenly, all seemed to calm down, and her expression returned to naturalness, even more composed and bewitching than before. Could it be… that there’s something over there? Ye Ning subconsciously followed the direction the woman had been looking and noticed a very luxuriously decorated fashion store. Inside, a young woman in a light yellow tulip-printed miniskirt was leisurely sitting on the red sofa wearing sunglasses, casually flipping through a magazine. </body></html>
