Gu Qili looked around, making sure she was the only one near the flower shop before confirming that the person was calling her.
He appeared to be in his thirties, with fine features, and was dressed neatly and decently, clearly someone of status, but she did not recall knowing such a figure.
"Miss Gu, I apologize for the intrusion." He approached, introducing himself very politely, "My name is Chen Jiu, and people are used to calling me Old Nine."
Old Nine? Gu Qili suddenly remembered that at one time, during a meal at Xiangshan Club, Leng Shaoqing mentioned this person; he seemed to be a casino owner and was acquainted with Mu Shuoqian and the others.
"Mr. Chen, hello. May I ask what you want with me?" Gu Qili clutched the tulips in her hands, not understanding why a friend of Mu Shuoqian would seek her out.
Chen Jiu hesitated for a moment before taking out an exquisite jewelry box from his pocket, and without shyness, he opened it right in front of Gu Qili. The sun was just right, and the pink diamond nearly blinded her with its sparkle.
Gu Qili glanced at the beautiful and expensive necklace and slowly looked up, "Mr. Chen, what does this mean?"
Chen Jiu did not see any greed or pleasure in her eyes, which confused him a little.
