"Look at that woman eating, it's hilarious!" Wang Qianjin covered her mouth and laughed.

"I guess he's never eaten this kind of snack before; he exudes an air of poverty."

"Wanwan, what did you say you were going to do?"

Zhang Wanwan curled her rosy lips into a smile, staring at An Youhe who was earnestly eating snacks not far away. She strode confidently toward An Youhe.

"It's so boring just sitting here eating. Would you like to come with us and see the exhibits that were successfully auctioned today?"

Zhang Wanwan looked harmless, and now she showed a pure smile, so An Youhe readily agreed.

The three stood in front of a painting, Zhang Wanwan discussing art with Wang Qianjin beside her, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"Sister An, what do you think?"

Zhang Wanwan followed An Youhe's gaze and noticed that An Youhe was only staring at the label. She smiled and said, "Sister An, do you think this painting is too expensive and doesn't have any special features?"

“I don’t know much about art, so I don’t dare to comment. But since someone is willing to buy it, it means that the painting is worth more than its price,” An Youhe said.

Zhang Wanwan gave another disdainful smile and continued walking forward, thinking to herself that this woman was really calm, acting as if she could afford it. She would soon expose her true colors.

Another item up for auction was a seemingly ordinary vase, but it was worth a billion.

Zhang Wanwan waved to An Youhe, "Come here, why are you standing so far away? Can you even see clearly?"

An Youhe had no choice but to get closer to him.

Suddenly, a hand pulled An Youhe towards the vase.

"Thump!—"

The vase shattered on the ground, and An Youhe also fell to the ground.

The loud noise attracted a large crowd.

Zhang Wanwan feigned surprise and shouted, "How could you be so careless? This is an exhibit we bid on today, and you broke it. You have to pay for it!"

An Youhe sat on the ground, somewhat at a loss.

At this moment, a handsome man stepped out from the crowd and rushed to An Youhe's side.

Wang Qianjin turned to Zhang Wanwan and said, "What a coincidence! This one-of-a-kind vase was bought by Ye Zhou. Now, this woman has really made a fool of herself."

Zhang Wanwan smiled, finally having a chance to get close to this god-like man.

She straightened her skirt and walked up to Ye Zhou. "Mr. Ye, this woman is so careless! She actually broke this one-of-a-kind vase! I tried my best to stop her, but I couldn't. I still have a bruise on my hand. It hurts so much!"

Ye Zhou asked An Youhe with concern, "Are you hurt anywhere?"

Although An Youhe remained silent, her large, bright eyes seemed to speak volumes as she shook her head.

Zhang Wanwan stood there, stunned. "President Ye, why are you concerned about this woman? Shouldn't you be concerned about your porcelain?"

Ye Zhou easily picked up An Youhe and said, "I originally bought this for my wife to learn flower arranging. If it's broken, it's broken. If my wife doesn't like it, we don't need it."

The crowd parted automatically, and the man in the suit carried the girl away.

Zhang Wanwan stared in disbelief. "What? What wife?"

Zhang's mother glared at her daughter from the crowd: "Don't you know that the woman in Ye Zhou's arms is his wife?"

"What? This woman is actually Ye Zhou's wife."

"You never know how to behave yourself; you've messed with the wrong person!"

The smile on Zhang Wanwan's face disappeared, and the crowd shook their heads and dispersed. As the banquet was nearing its end, she walked to a corner, and a force from behind caused her to bump into another exhibit in the corner.

That was the crown the Queen wore during the Republic of China era, and it was set with a unique pink diamond.

The crown fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Zhang Wanwan stared blankly at the shattered crown on the ground, her eyes red with a look of madness.

Zhang Wanwan stopped walking in her high heels and looked up to see Ye Qing's bright smile.

"Your Zhang Group is quite wealthy. So what if your youngest daughter broke a crown? It's only worth two billion, nothing to worry about."

Ye Qing smiled and stood up, walking away with leisurely steps.

...

Luxury car back seat

Ye Zhou noticed that An Youhe was silent and knew that she must be blaming herself.

"It's nothing serious, you did very well today."

After a moment, the girl slowly spoke, "Honey, I didn't do well. I wanted to meet more people, but I was so clumsy."

Did that woman push you?

How did you know?

Ye Zhou laughed. He had seen all kinds of women, and he was well aware of the little tricks these women played.

"You only need to get to know the people you want to get to know. The more high-class they seem, the more vulgar they are. I don't want you to get to know these kinds of people."

"Well, not necessarily."

"Then do you think I'm vulgar?" Ye Zhou changed the subject.

An Youhe lowered her head and remained silent. "Yes, sometimes."

Ye Zhou chuckled and kissed his wife on the corner of her mouth.

An Youhe still felt like a heavy weight had been lifted from her heart. "But I broke the vase. The vase was very expensive."

"It's nothing, it's a small matter."

"A billion! I... I can't afford to pay that."

"Then you'll have to pay for it with your whole life."

...

Zhang Family Villa.

"You've got some nerve, haven't you? You dropped out of school so early and I don't care anymore. You say you're arrogant, so arrogant that you want to be a mistress? And you owe two billion yuan, who's going to pay it back for you? Now, I'm severing all ties with you!"

Zhang Wanwan knelt in the hall, sobbing uncontrollably. "Mom, how could you do this to me? It's just two billion! Our Zhang Group can earn that back in a year. Are you going to abandon me because of this?"

"Smack!—"

Zhang's mother slapped Zhang Wanwan without hesitation, leaving a clear five-finger mark on her daughter's face.

"You make it sound so easy for you. Do you even know who Ye Zhou is? All the companies that have opposed him can't even be found online anymore. The Zhang Group is about to be ruined by you!"

Zhang Wanwan was on the verge of tears. If she really severed ties with the group, she would be burdened with a huge debt, a debt she could never repay in her lifetimes. She knew that her current monthly income was negative several hundred thousand.

"Mom, there's no need to do that. I'm sure I can become Ye Zhou's mistress... no, Ye Zhou's wife. You saw it today. What can that woman do that compare to me? When that happens, our Zhang family will benefit from my success."

Zhang's mother had her doubts, but so far, she would rather throw away than give away anything her daughter had her eye on.

"Don't be too silly."

Don't worry.
