Chapter 77 Xia Yue has another senior brother
The invitation was sent by none other than a business.
The head of the merchant family celebrated his 70th birthday by holding a birthday banquet at the most luxurious five-star hotel in Yancheng, inviting major families from Yancheng to attend.
The Xia family has been doing well recently, and has become one of the top families in Yancheng, so they received an invitation.
Xia Yue wasn't very interested in these kinds of business activities.
But thinking that those who could attend such a banquet were all prominent families in Yancheng, there might be some new business cooperation opportunities.
So Xia Yue decided to participate!
The birthday banquet is in two days, and Xia Yue certainly can't go empty-handed, so she plans to use these two days to choose a birthday gift.
Unable to make up her mind on her own, she prepared to call Qin Yeting to join her.
But Qin Yeting was too busy. When Xia Yue called him for help, he only told her to figure it out herself.
Xia Yue had no choice but to seek help from Shen Xiangxiang.
As a result, Shen Xiangxiang was busy with blind dates and had no time to spend with Xia Yue.
Fortunately, the eldest brother of the Shen family was available.
So, the day before the birthday banquet, after lunch, Xia Yue went shopping with Shen Qingyun to pick out gifts.
Both of them were dressed in white today, looking like a couple, and with their outstanding good looks, they were the focus of attention wherever they went.
Therefore, Shen Qingyun not only did not avoid suspicion, but also stood up even straighter with a bit of pride.
"Brother Shen, I'm really sorry to trouble you to come all this way with me." Xia Yue and Shen Qingyun arrived at a high-end department store together.
Shen Qingyun said loudly, "I couldn't help you deal with Cui Hao before, so this is a good opportunity to make up for it."
Fortunately, I had the privilege of meeting the old patriarch of the Shang family once before, and I have some understanding of his preferences.
"Really? Then we're counting on you today!" Xia Yue said excitedly.
The two chatted and laughed all the way.
This scene was spotted by Qin Fei and Qiu Zi, who were not far away!
Qin Fei is a well-known playboy in the Qin family. Today, he was accompanying his new lover to buy gifts, and he didn't expect to see Xia Yue.
Qin Fei had always believed that his usually elusive elder brother had suddenly returned home to open the treasure vault for the sake of this Xia family heiress because he truly loved Xia Yue.
But now, I see Xia Yue with another man, laughing and talking.
And this man was the same one he had seen when he ate at the Four Seasons Restaurant last time.
This shows that Xia Yue and her older brother were never together!
In other words, he still has a chance!
Qin Fei's previously dormant heart stirred once again!
When Qiu Zi saw Qin Fei staring at Xia Yue, her expression changed instantly, but she restrained her temper.
She had finally managed to curry favor with this young master of the Qin family, and she knew what kind of person he was. She had already been humiliated by Qin Fei last time, so she had to endure it this time no matter what.
"Young Master Qin, I want to buy a bag. Will you come with me to the third floor to browse around?" Qiu Zi said coquettishly, pulling on Qin Fei's shoulder.
After seeing Xia Yue, Qin Fei lost interest in Qiu Zi.
However, he knew that disturbing Xia Yue like this would definitely not end well.
He glanced at Qiu Zi beside him and asked directly, "Do all you women like handbags?"
"Of course, it cures all diseases." Qiu Zi smiled obsequiously.
"Okay, let's go pick the most expensive and best bag. I don't believe she won't be tempted!" Qin Fei made the decision immediately.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Zi instantly realized that she had become a tool for selecting bags, which made her grit her teeth in anger.
She glared fiercely at Xia Yue's retreating figure, making a mental note of this!
Xia Yue, who was walking ahead, suddenly felt a chill from behind.
But when I looked back, I found nothing there.
"What's wrong?" Shen Qingyun asked in a low voice.
"I feel like someone is watching me," Xia Yue whispered in response; her intuition was always very accurate.
Shen Qingyun was cautious, worried that something might go wrong, since Liu Meilan had already returned and might send someone to cause trouble in the mall.
He suggested firmly, "There's a cat cafe up ahead. Let's go in, sit down, chat, and take a look around."
"I've caused you trouble again," Xia Yue said, feeling somewhat guilty.
Shen Qingyun said seriously, "What trouble or not, you are my savior, your business is my business!"
And so, the two of them went into the cat cafe together.
When the cat cafe staff saw Xia Yue and Shen Qingyun come in, they assumed the two were a couple and immediately arranged a couple's seat with a great atmosphere.
Xia Yue's attention was entirely focused on whether anyone was following her; she wasn't interested in the couples' seats.
Shen Qingyun was secretly pleased and even specially ordered drinks from the couple's set meal.
After the two sat down, they chatted casually.
"Relax, this is a public place. Even if Liu Meilan really sent someone to follow you, they wouldn't dare to do anything. I'm here," Shen Qingyun continued to reassure Xia Yue.
Xia Yue wasn't actually worried that anyone wanted to harm her; with her skills, she could easily handle a few professional assassins.
She was only worried that Liu Meilan wouldn't come!
The enemy is in the shadows, while she is in the open; that's the most troublesome thing.
"By the way, Xiangxiang has been busy with blind dates lately. How are they going?" Xia Yue asked casually.
Shen Qingyun said, "She has high standards and hasn't found a suitable one yet. Then the young master of the Shang family kept pestering her, but she wasn't interested in him."
"Is she going to the Shang family patriarch's 70th birthday celebration tomorrow?" Xia Yue was surprised that Shang Zexi was still bothering Shen Xiangxiang and couldn't help but feel a little worried for her friend.
"This is also a problem that's troubling me. The invitation sent to the Shen family by the merchants specifically asked Xiangxiang to attend. I wonder what will happen tomorrow." Shen Qingyun was somewhat worried about his sister.
