Just after hanging up the phone, a text message informed her that she had received several missed calls, and they were all from Ximen Longting!

Her heart sank, feeling bad secretly, and her phone rang again...

Jing Jiaren took a deep breath: "Hello?"

"Woman, I warned you to keep your phone open at all times." A voice that was clearly unhappy.

"I turned on the phone, maybe the signal is not good?"

"The line is busy. You are talking to someone on the phone."

Damn this shrewd man.

"You guys have been chatting for at least twenty minutes," he asked coldly, "tell me, what did you talk about?"

Even time counts like this...

Even though he was gone, Jing Jiaren still felt like she was being closely monitored, so depressed that she couldn't breathe.

"I just called the Jing family and wanted to know how their family is doing recently. Don't I have to contact Jiaren and have to report every word I say to you?" Jing Jiaren said angrily.

Answer, try to overwhelm him with your momentum, and make him stop asking any more questions.

Unfortunately, Ximen Longting is a very suspicious person: "When did your relationship with the Jing family become so good?"

"When did you see that our relationship was not going well?"

"You don't care about their life or death. You can remain indifferent when the Jing family's property is demolished, but you actually plan to escape secretly."

Jing Jiaren bit her lower lip: "How can you, an outsider, understand our relationship?"

The word "outsider" obviously hurt Ximen Longting.

His voice was even harder: "You should tell me what I don't understand."

"Blood is thicker than water, no matter what, they are my relatives."

"Do you want them to help you escape?"

"You are guarding people at the hotel and at the door, how can I escape!? Even if the Jing family wants to help me, how dare they offend you?"

"That's the best."

"Is this why you called?" Jing Jiaren wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible.

Ximen Longting said in a deep voice: "What did you have for breakfast?"

"What the waiter brought."

"What was sent?"

"Are you bothered? Didn't the bodyguards at your door check everything I sent you? Didn't you ask them to report it to you clearly?"

Ximen Longting was silent for a moment. He just wanted to find something to talk to her about, but he didn't expect this woman to sound impatient.

No one has ever dared to dislike him like this. It's troublesome to even connect to his phone.

"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."

Then Jing Jiaren died.

Ximen Longting held his cell phone with a look of horror and anger on his face.

He was at the auction house in City B, where an auction was taking place. On the way to the airport, he saw a huge advertising screen displaying the auction items - a crystal sapphire necklace that was as bright and luxurious as a mermaid's tears.

Just at a glance, he felt that this necklace suited Jing Jiaren very well.

It just so happens that this gem chain has a touching name, "Love in a Fallen City".

It seems to be tailor-made for Jing Jiaren, and it will definitely fit her perfectly.

Wilson secretly reminded that if he entered the auction house at this time, he would probably be late.

Ximen Longting went in anyway and sat in an unnoticed corner of the venue. Wilson came forward and called out a price that was ten times higher than the price quoted on the spot.

"50 million?"

As soon as the price was announced, the whole place was in uproar.
